66 (63) Lady Gaga – Poker Face

I’d probably poker in the face, but I wouldn’t choose to listen to this tedious excuse for music.

14 (16) Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling

Hmm… starts off tedious and repetitive… and just gets worse from there.

4 (2) Cheryl Cole – Fight For This Loves

The Girls Aloud singer’s debut solo release and…. it’s very dull.

3 (1) JLS: Everybody In Love

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.

1 (3) Black Eyed Peas – Meet Me Halfway *1st week at No.1*

Meh.
