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

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.
[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(!)

[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.

All The Times I Cried
[Melody]
Her first solo single and a great soulful track that rivals the best of heroutput with Texas and a damn sight better than the kind of stuff they were makingin the later years.
[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.

[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.
That’s Not My Name
[We Started Nothing]
Very mediocre.
Click here for the video
[Viva La Vida…]
Yaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! What a bunch of pompous, stuck-up arseholes!
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
[Good Girl Gone Bad]
YAWN! What a tedious ballad!
Click here for the video
[Year of the Gentleman]
Predictable and uninteresting.
Click here for the video
This track made No.1 originally based on downloads alone, but it’s rather mediocre anddoesn’t deserve the top slot.
