1. Dizzee Rascal/Armand Van Helden-Bonkers What I great idea for a song being about being bonkers. I think I used to use that word when I was about four. Now is it me or are the top 2 songs just a bit simple lyrics wise? The thing about this song is that it doesn’t have an amazing tune to it like Boom Boom Pow. Also I can’t stand Dizzee Rascal because there’s not a lot to him that’s amzing really. So I’m giving him only 1 star because he’s not any good.
2. Black Eyed Peas-Boom Boom Pow This is another song I’m unsure on because the tune is good but the lyrics are so crap that I just get angry listening to their song. A few quotes ‘Them chickens jakin my style’, another good one ‘I’m on that HD flat’ (come what does that have to do with anything) and my favourite of all the lyrics ‘beats so big I’m stepping on leprechauns’ that one I find hilarious because it’s just out of nowhere. But overall im giving it a 4 star because I like the way they’ve tied in the lyrics to the tune, even though the lyrics are proper rubbish.
3. Agnes-Release Me Being the first time I’ve listened to this song I think it’s really a great song. With a great singer and a really catchy tune that just sounds great. I can understand how it’s so high so suddenly and I agree with everyone who’s got this song. The chorus is really good but I think that the verses are equally good to be honest. Defiantly a song I recommend. 5 STARS EASY!!
4. Tinchy Stryder Ft N-Dubz-Number 1 Hate this song so much!!!! Tinchy Stryder isn’t bad but N-Dubz ruin it especially with the guy in its stupid ‘NAN NAN NAIIII’ thing that he does which ruins every bit of the song. I think that N-Dubz are just rubbish and can’t sing, except for the woman in it who can sing averagely. So for my rating I give it a massive 1 star! 5. Daniel Merriweather-Red I like this song and this is my first time listening to this song and he’s good at singing and the actual song is good. The more I listen to it the more I like it. I think this is another song that doesn’t have many bad points except maybe being a bit slow again. I like how the song has meaning to it unlike Black eyed Peas latest song. This is song I think deserves a 5 star rating.
6. Soulja Boy Tellem Ft Sammie-Kiss me thru the phone This is another song I’m unsure about because I love the chorus (when Sammie’s singing) but the verses I think just sound awful. But I guess that’s what I’m like with rapping. I like the tune which supports the singing but when he starts rapping there isn’t that much of a tune to support. I think that Soulja boys earlier songs were better than this. I’m going to give this song a 2 star because the verses just totally wreck it for me.
7. La Roux-In For the Kill This song I can’t decide about it anymore because when I first listened to it I thought this is awful she can’t sing she’s more wailing but then I heard it more and more, and I started to like it. But now I’ve heard it too much and it’s starting to sound like someone’s strangling her. Yet it is a good tune and I still love the verses so I’m going to give 3 stars.
8. Veronicas-Untouched This song is one I first heard on Fifa 09 and I thought this is a great song and just assumed that I would only ever hear it on Fifa from then on but a few weeks ago I saw the music video and I thought that it just might have been released ages ago but then today as I was looking at the updated chart I noticed the name and I was literally shocked. The thing is that it’s actually a good song and I’m glad that’s it’s been recognized. Happy to listen to it 5 star.
9. Lily Allen-Not Fair Lily Allen has been in the UK charts for quite a while now so she must have made a bit of money. The thing I don’t understand is why she hasn’t spent it on decent singing lessons. She clearly still can’t sing and plus that her voice isn’t that nice. This song is probably her worst so far without even a decent tune in the background and you could do the same excuse as for calvin harris but he’s about the tune not the solo singing. 1 star pathetic. 10. Eminem-We Made You If anyone thinks this song is good I think they’re mad. This song is only minorically good if you’re watching the music video because it’s funny but the song just sounds like a load of rubbish. I have never really listened to rap or Eminem but I know that Eminem is a lot better than in his new album. So I give this song a 1 star rating.
11. Lady Gaga-Poker Face I didn’t like this song in the first place and now I could strangle anyone who plays this song to me. It wasn’t amazing in the first place but what is keeping it up in the charts???? I found ‘Just Dance’ bad but this is a big copy of it but even worse!! 1 star lowest rating.
12. Keri Hilson/Kanye West/Ne-Yo-Knock You Down A new entry into the top 20 and I don’t mind it for the artists singing it. I normally can’t stand Ne-yo but when Keri Hilson is doing songs she makes artist sing better to her style I think. I think it’s the harmony’s that she does that makes me like her. I give this song 3 stars because I don’t find it amazing.
13. Little Boots-New In Town A new artist in the charts who I think has produced a great song with a catchy tune and lyrics but a song that also has some meaning to it. A saw this on the official UK chart a few weeks ago as a future hit and for once they were right on a new artist. I give this song 4 stars.
14. Calvin Harris-I'm Not Alone When I first heard this song I fell in love with the tune. Some people have told me they don’t like the singing but this song isn’t about the singing it’s about the tune. This song I think beats his previous songs of ‘acceptable in the 80s’ and ‘girls’ just because of the catchiness of the tune.
I give this song a rating of 4 stars.
15. Prodigy-Warrior's Dance I love this song and I have since I bought their latest album earlier this year ‘Invaders must Die’. When I first listened to the album songs I picked out that I thought might be made into singles Omen already was then I thought they would release ‘Invaders must die’ then ‘Warrior’s Dance’ however they’ve done it the other way round by releasing ‘Invaders must Die’ not too long ago which I think is a track to look out for in the near future. I love this song so much because it’s just so up-beat and exciting really which is why it gets 5 stars.
16. Ironik/Chipmunk/Elton John-Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer) I can’t stand this song now. I loved the chorus the first time I heard it but it’s just been overplayed now. I’ve always hated Ironik and chipmunk (stupid name) and they’re just rubbish in this song. So for them reasons that’s why they only get 1 star.
17. AR Rahman Ft Pussycat Dolls-Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny) I don’t understand why people like this song because people normally go for the different styled music. I think it’s just because of two words in the artist ‘Pussycat’ then ‘Dolls’. If a bollywood singer had done their part then I think it would only just peak top 40. I’m now finding this song annoying because it won’t leave the charts and is still lingering in the top 20. So I give this song only 2 stars.
18. Ciara Ft Justin Timberlake-Love Sex Magic I can see why people like this song but I personally don’t because I find the song drags on and I look forward to it finishing. Ciara’s voice isn’t bad but when she goes higher her voice doesn’t sound that good I don’t think. However I like this song better than sugar which is my reasoning for my 3 star rating.
19. Flo Rida Ft Wynter-Sugar I don’t mind this song but I think I will hate it in a few weeks. I don’t mind Wynter who does the chorus. When I listened to ‘right round’ I found Flo Rider annoying but I think he’s better in this new song of his. So I’m going to give it a rating of 2 stars because I don’t totally hate it but I’m not exactly rushing to download it.
20. Beyonce-Halo I love this song I think that its great and I’m surprised that it hasn’t stayed higher for longer. It’s one of those songs where I think that it doesn’t have many let down points, yes you could say that it’s slightly slow but that’s about it. Which is why I gave it a rating of 5 stars.
