Kylie Minogue: 2 Hearts
[X]

64 (49) Kylie Minogue – 2 Hearts

Her comeback single with a Marilyn Monroe look and… well, it’s okay butfar from outstanding.

Sugababes: About You Now
[Changes]

29 (26) Sugababes – About You Now

Not a bad track, but they’ve done better. Still, at least it stopped Shayne Wardgetting to No.1.

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

25 (25) 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]

23 (22) 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]

20 (16) 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.

Basshunter:
Now You’re Gone

1 (1) Basshunter – Now You’re Gone *3rd Week at No.1*

Total crap.
