New entries from No.41-75 :
[Trust Me]
His first single in a long time takes David Bowie’s wonderful 1983 classicLet’s Dance and rapes it for all it’s worth.
Fuck Craig David and fuck his shitty music and just play the original.Compare the two:
Craig David – Hot Stuff
David Bowie – Let’s Dance
[X]
Her comeback single with a Marilyn Monroe look and… well, it’s okay butfar from outstanding.

To the tune of The Clash’s “I Fought The Law”, this goes, “I Fought The Lloyds, and The Lloyds Lost”which is getting at all those banks that want to charge excess fees for a standard bank account when it’s beenfree for the last 20 years or so.
This is an excellent song! This is the only time I’ve thought bank charges should go higher… in that, thissong about them should go higher in the charts 🙂
I hope this band put their royalties to good use…
She’s So Lovely
[Scouting For Girls]
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.
[Changes]
Not a bad track, but they’ve done better. Still, at least it stopped Shayne Wardgetting to No.1.
What Hurts The Most
[Perfect Day]
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!

[Tangled Up]
Very mediocre track that doesn’t know whether it should actually get goingor not. In the end, it doesn’t.

Now You’re Gone
Total crap. But at least Leon isn’t No.1 anymore. He’s No.5.
