Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Scouting For Girls:
She’s So Lovely
[Scouting For Girls]

45 (35) Scouting For Girls – She’s So Lovely

Love this song, and the hottie in the video is a model called Louise Glover (google for her images, butnot from work!).

See the video here.

Cascada:
What Hurts The Most
[Perfect Day]

43 (38) Cascada – What Hurts The Most

The dance remix of this track really works well, given that the original wasby Celebrity Big Brother racist scum Jo O’Meara from S Club 7 as her dreadfulattempt to restart her solo career.

Well worth a listen!

Girls Aloud: Call The Shots
[Tangled Up]

38 (33) Girls Aloud – Call The Shots

Very mediocre track that doesn’t know whether it should actually get goingor not. In the end, it doesn’t.

Mark Ronson: Just
[Version]

31 (75) Mark Ronson & Phantom Planet – Just

A great, funky version of the Radiohead classic, and a brilliant video that provides a neat twist on the original.

If you haven’t seen either video yet, then watch Radiohead’s first, otherwise Ronson’s will make no sense.

Goldfrapp: A&E
[Seventh Tree]

16 (10) Goldfrapp – A&E

A dreadful, limp effort that never seems to go anywhere. When did Goldfrappstop making decent music and turn into Katie Muelua?

Duffy: Mercy
[Rockferry]

1 (1) Duffy – Mercy *2nd Week at No.1*

They say she’s the new Dusty Springfield but it certainly doesn’t work for me.For those whom it does, check out the following clips:
