63 (60) Lady Gaga – Poker Face

1 JLS: Everybody In Love *1st week at No.1*

X-Factor runner-ups from last year and, it’s at this point where I’d say how much I hate it, but as a basic popsong it’s not actually too bad. It’s got quite a well-structured tune, even if it doesn’t do anything to break new ground.
