New entries from No.41-75 :
N-Dubz: Number 1
[Uncle B]
Well, that was well-timed! Quite a catchy tune, too. Not really worthy of the top slot though.
Click here for the video
[It’s Not Me, It’s You]
The number of brain cells behind those brain-dead eyes?
[Turn It Up]
This month’s “New big thing”. Not something I could care much about, though.
Click here to listen to the song. It’s not the video, because that’s been blocked by the Youtube bastards
[The Fame]
I’d probably poker in the face, but I wouldn’t choose to listen to this tedious excuse for music.
Note that the video link below goes via Youtubeproxy.com so you’ll be able to view the video from within the UK.

Boom Boom Pow
[The END]
Boom Boom Pow? More like Zzzz Zzzz Snore!
Click here for the video
When Love Takes Over
Zzzz… how did this get to No.1?
Click here to listen to the song. It’s not the video
Well, the song itself was tedious, but I came across this, obviously wrongly-credited, track and it cracks me up! It’s lazy as hell, but funny all the same.
And why are they singing about ‘knickers’? 😉
Click here for the video
[Evacuate The Dancefloor]
I’d rather evacuate my bowels than listen to this.
Ready For The Weekend
[Ready For The Weekend]
Meh! Might sound good if you’re coked off your bonce in a nightclub at the… erm… weekend, but on a weeknight, sober, it’s meh!
Click here to see the video
[La Roux]
Managing to knock any chance of Michael Jackson hitting the top slot into a cocked hat, this single actually comesfrom the daughter of Trudie Goodwin, aka Sgt June Ackland in The Bill.
The song itself is pretty good, actually. However, for that haircut she should be nicked!

[JLS]
Pop music by numbers.

Never Leave You
What a tedious pile of shite. How the hell did this get to No.1?
[Tongue N Cheek]
It’s not Madonna.
Click here to see the video
Boys And Girls
[Turn It Up]
Cheesy, forgettable pap pop.
Click here to see the video
I Gotta Feeling
[The END]
Hmm… starts off tedious and repetitive… and just gets worse from there.
“Let’s do it, let’s do it, let’s do it, do it, do it.” No, let’s not.

Run This Town
[The Blueprint 3]
What a load of absolute tripe.
Click here to see the video
Sexy Bitch
[One Love]
Zzzzz….
Click here to see the video
Break Your Heart
[Rockstarr]
The song’s a bit “Meh” but the girl in the video’s cute.
