New entries from No.41-75 :

Footprints In The Sand
[Spirit]
A new single for the X-Factor winner and one that missed out on the No.1 slot.

[Dreaming Out Loud]
Stop and Bore, morelike. Gordon Bennett, this tedious rubbish never seems to end.

[Rockferry]
They say she’s the new Dusty Springfield but it certainly doesn’t work for me.

American Boy
[Shine]
Apparently this first entered at No.72 and dropped out. It wasn’tmissed and I can’t see what the big deal is.
Click here for the video

[Viva La Vida…]
Well, it was free so I downloaded it. Given how their music’s gone in thelast few years, it’s true that you get what you pay for(!)

[Sam Sparro]
Funky as hell, this is a wonderful piece of music and the kind of thing that,when it does get released, normally gets overlooked, but here it’s all payingoff in spades.
I’ve never heard of Sam Sparro before, but here’s hoping we hear a lot morefrom him in the near future.

[Hard Candy]
Apparently this first entered at No.72 and dropped out. It wasn’tmissed and I can’t see what the big deal is.

Sweet About Me
[Lessons To Be Learned]
Quite a decent, jaunty little track and one that sounds like an old Motown tune.
Click here to see the video

That’s Not My Name
[We Started Nothing]
Very mediocre.
Click here for the video

[Good Girl Gone Bad]
YAWN! What a tedious ballad!
Click here for the video

Singin in the Rain
[Pop is…]
Excellent track, as it was when it was originally released in 2005. It’s afunky remix of the Gene Kelly version of the song, as used in a car advertalso in 2005.
Back then, it only made No.20, but this time it’s reached No.1 as it wasthe track used for the winner of Britain’s Got Talent.
