Commander is Kelly’s new attempt at a top ten hit and she’s done the job! It’s flown straight to the charts and I expect to see it there for a little while.
I’m starting to think that many of Lady Gaga’s songs sound the same which is a bit of a shame. This one is no exception – if she can be original on the catwalk, why can’t she do the same with her songs? Oh well - maybe you disagree?
Hey, Soul Sister is only Train’s second top-ten hit so it’s no surprise if you haven’t heard their stuff already. A pleasant song with a good rhythm and enjoyable vocals but I don’t expect this one to stay in the charts for too long.
An interesting duet from Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg, California Gurls has been played more than the ringtone on my phone (hey – I’m popular, honest)!
We may never hear the end of Alejandro, the hit sensation from Lady Gaga. Love her or hate her (and don’t judge her by her fashion sense too quickly), we’re left wondering who on Earth Alejandro is. I haven’t had such rubbish stuck in my head for so long since Rihanna gave us Umbrella!
Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) has been a great success for Shakira who introduced the song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Joining Shakira is Freshlyground in this strangely catchy, raw rhythmic jungle tune.
