62 (37) Sugababes – About A Girl

62 (37) Sugababes – About A Girl

I was hoping this would be a cover of the Nirvana song. Instead it’s just generic crap. How sad.

60 (40) Taio Cruz – Break Your Heart

The song’s a bit “Meh” but the girl in the video’s cute.

27 (20) Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling

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

“Let’s do it, let’s do it, let’s do it, do it, do it.” No, let’s not.

25 (25) 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.

22 (26) Alexandra Burke feat. Flo-rida – Bad Boys

Leona-lite wails away about how exciting it is to be with bad boys… Yawn.

1 (80) Rage Against The Machine: Killing In The Name Of *1st week at No.1*

Yes! In your face X-Factor! Thanks to an internet campaign with almost a million fans, they’ve all helped kick SimonCowell’s sad effort into 2nd place with this class protest song from 1992.

Now join the campaign for next year: Beastie Boys: Sabotage for Xmas No.1 2010!!
