68 (50) Kings Of Leon: Sex On Fire

68 (50) Kings Of Leon: Sex On Fire

Great band. Not a bad track, either and great to see them at the top slot.Certainly more deserved than most things that get there.

51 (45) Lady Gaga – Just Dance

Mediocre pop.

34 (29) Calvin Harris – I’m Not Alone

Takes a while before it really gets going and even then it sounds rather derivative. I can’t work out why it’s No.1

24 (20) Lady Gaga – Poker Face

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.

17 (13) Tinchy Stryder & N-Dubz – Number 1

Well, that was well-timed! Quite a catchy tune, too. Not really worthy of the top slot though.

9 (6) Dizzee Rascal Feat. Armand Van Helden – Bonkers

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’? 😉

7 (2) Pixie Lott – Mama Do

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

3 (3) Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow

Boom Boom Pow? More like Zzzz Zzzz Snore!

Click here for the video

2 (1) David Guetta/Kelly Rowland: When Love Takes Over

Zzzz… how did this get to No.1?

Click here to listen to the song. It’s not the video

1 La Roux: Bulletproof *1st week at No.1*

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!
