Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Katy Perry: I Kissed A Girl
[One of the Boys]

67 (64) Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl

“Oh, look, I’m pretending to be a lesbian”. Bollocks.

Coldplay: Viva La Vida
[Viva La Vida…]

58 (53) Coldplay – Viva La Vida *1st Week at No.1*

Yaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! What a bunch of pompous, stuck-up arseholes!

Take That: Greatest Day
[The Circus]

51 (47) Take That – Greatest Day

Having been used on a yawnsome advert, this track is so tedious beyond belief Ican’t work out how it ever got made.

Girls Aloud: The Promise
[Out of Control]

50 (46) Girls Aloud – The Promise

Where’s the hook in this song? It’s as bad as Will Young’s “Changes” in that it just goes all over the place.

Click here for the video

Franz Ferdinand: Ulysses
[Tonight]

46 (26) Franz Ferdinand – Ulysses

Bland and uninspired. Clearly a band who hit their peak with their first album.

This time round, do, well, do ya, do ya wanna? No thanks.

Pink: So What?
[Funhouse]

43 (42) Pink – So What?

So what, indeed?

Guru Josh Project:
Infinity 2008

41 (34) The Guru Josh Project – Infinity 2008

Although the 80s is my decade of great music, I was at Uni from 1990-93, and in the first year the original track of this was out and about all over the place and it was fantastic. Great to hear a remixed version!

1990 was, most definitely, time for the Guru. Now 2008 should be as well but too often there’s some stupid lyrics being spoken here which breaks theflow of the track which was only ever meant to be an instrumental!

The Saturdays: Up
[Chasing Lights]

37 (37) The Saturdays – Up

Ah, The Saturdays. Good to look at, and they were on Something for the Weekend recently. Watch here:

Click here for Part 1
Click here for Part 2
Click here for Part 3
Click here for Part 4

Alexandra: Hallelujah
[The Album]

32 (23) Alexandra Burke – Hallelujah

With the better versions of this track, Jeff Buckley (at No.2 in its first week) and Leonard Cohen(No.38 in its first week) also doing the rounds, this utter dirge has made the top slot for theX-Factor yet again, so Simon Cowell’s right and we’re wrong, but what’s new?

Listen to the best version below, from Mr Cohen. All those singers behind himremind me of the opening of the Muppet Show! 🙂

Girls Aloud: The Loving Kind
[Out of Control]

29 (24) Girls Aloud – The Loving Kind

Is it just me or is every subsequent Girls Aloud single getting even more tedious than the last one? This one just drifts through insleepwalking mode and the last one, The Promise, didn’t even have any kind of hook with the alleged melody going all over the place.

Leona Lewis: Run
[Spirit]

26 (20) Leona Lewis – Run

A cover version of the fantastic Snow Patrol track, but here Leona starts offtedious and then throws her voice around like Mariah Carey throwing a strop.Avoid.

Click here for the video

Kings Of Leon:
Sex On Fire
[Only By the Night]

23 (18) 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.

Click here for the video

Beyonce: If I Were A Boy
[I Am Sasha Fierce]

22 (17) Beyonce – If I Were A Boy

I’m never a fan of her music and this won’t change anything.

Click here for the video

The Killers: Human
[Day and Age]

19 (15) The Killers – Human

Sometimes The Killers’ music can be a bit samey, and this comes across as rather a carbon copy of ‘Read My Mind’ but it’salways listenable so this is worth hearing, but not Top 5 material.

Click here for the video

Lady Gaga: Just Dance
[The Fame]

2 (2) Lady Gaga – Just Dance

Mediocre pop.

Click here for the video

Lily Allen: The Fear
[It’s Not Me It’s You]

1 Lily Allen – The Fear *2nd Week at No.1*

“Look, my name’s Lily Allen. I’ve got a failed chat show and I can use the f-word in my songs, but hey, I’m on Myspace!”

Stupid mockney bint.

(sigh)
