New entries from No.41-100 :
[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.

[Rockferry]
They say she’s the new Dusty Springfield but it certainly doesn’t work for me.
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
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
[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.
[Year of the Gentleman]
Predictable and uninteresting.

[Viva La Vida…]
Yaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! What a bunch of pompous, stuck-up arseholes!
This track made No.1 originally based on downloads alone, but it’s rather mediocre anddidn’t deserve the top slot.
[Rock ‘n’ Roll Jesus]
Lazy dance-ish track to the tune of Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London.
Rather average and, wot, no fit women in much of the video??
[One of the Boys]
“Oh, look, I’m pretending to be a lesbian”. Bollocks.
Click here for the video
Sex On Fire
[Only By the Night]
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.
