Sugababes: About You Now
[Changes]

35 (29) 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]

30 (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]

26 (23) 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]

23 (20) 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 *4th Week at No.1*

Total crap.
