Britney! "It's Britney, dear" - seriously? Oh dear.

Rihanna seems to not want to release any of the reallty good songs on her album as singles, apart from 'Umbrella'. 'Hate That I Love You' is at least better than 'Shut Up And Drive' but the best ballads on GGGB are clearly 'Cry' and the title track.

Britney - it's still a good song even though the video makes me wince. Poor, poor Britney. Sympathy tick.

Killers - hmm, appears to be no official video for this yet, probably why I haven't seen it on Hits yet this morning. Radio static intro leads to Death In Vegas style John Carpenter dirge, then veers off into Sparks chanting territory. OMG it all goes proper prog halfway through! Scary children! This is really good. Enthusiastic Tick.

Elvis - whatevs.

Orson - this has a good chorus, but I'm finding it increasingly annoying. Would have got a tick three weeks ago.

Kenny - this has charted because of the rugby or something, hasn't it? I've got nothing against Kenny and this is a reasonable bit of trucker country. Tick.

Rihanna - very sweet duet, definitely one of the better tracks on the album. Tick.

Okay, I've been meaning to ask for a while, but are they really just releasing a lot of random Elvis songs as singles in the UK now? I don't understand.

Britney's video is so "The HITS top ten worst comeback videos ever" it's untrue.
