Lady Gaga isn't content enough to hold on to the number 1 spot, she has to have another new entry as well! Some people would be grateful, I don't know... *mutter mutter*...

To my somewhat surprise I've ticked all five. I think I'm in a generous mood. 3 full-hearted ticks, 2 marginal. From best to dodgiest:

Tinchy ft Taio: This is a lovely surprise! Could teach Dizzee'n'Calvin valuable lessons about how pop-electro-rap crossovers should work. Hugely endearing bounce to this.

Kid Cudi: This kind of electro-cut-up stuff might get pretty boring but I like it a lot on this: Cudi himself is compelling and likeable.

Jordin Sparks: Excellent once it gets going.

White Lies: Completely absurd but I like his booming voice. A tick from the same part of me that sometimes ticks Killers records.

Lady Gaga: I think having a much weaker tune actually helps her not be annoying. Forgettable but quite enjoyable, a very marginal tick.

You've got the Killers over here and the Editors are over there and White Lies are like directly in the middle. This song is really boring btw.
