      [Reality Killed the Video Star]

      37 (22) Robbie Williams – Bodies

      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.

      JLS: Everybody In Love
      [JLS]

      6 (3) 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.
