Yet Another Year In Pop: 12

Lady Gaga nabs her second number one with the slow-burning 'Poker Face' and Beyonce elbows her way into the top ten with 'Halo'.

[Poll #1370346]

Lower reaches watch: Heads Shoulders Kneez & Toez just misses out on the top 40, plus there are some new entries from Royksopp, Skepta and that 'I Love College' song argh. Also, Ronan Keating covering Cyndi Lauper = NO THX.

"V saddening that a band whose main selling point has been their way with words is now reduced to peddling trite lyrics about how Fame And Money Are Bad For You"

No worse than their old track 'Shameless' really tho - but that wasn't a single

I've never heard 'Shameless'. They haven't been good for about 15 years though, apart from 'Miracles'...
