dear I may be sad to remember this but the kiddie chip things were alpha-bites, Fearne. Alphabet is what u learn at school with all the letters which help u make up words and sentences. I think someone should tell Fearne that.

Fascination is a fantastic song! Back to the 80s :dance:

Like Mika's Relax Take It Easy, I don't like this Alphabeat song because it is so blatantly "inspired" by a superior 1980s Pop classic:

 

Kenny Loggins - Footloose (1984 UK#2/USA#1)

I LOVE Alphabeat and hate camp music. They have a real Indie aesthetic going with them too. Just they shot a HORRIFIC video which makes the song come across a little differently I think...

It's clear that 17-year-old Chicago MC Soulja Boy objective is to put out as many dance-craze anthems as the clubs can handle. So to start things off is his infectious lead single, 'Crank That', stacked with neck-snapping drum-kicks, zooming synthesizers, and call-and-response hooks that has become his formula for success across America. - HMV

Wow, What a surprise to find out that this is a pop record instead a dance remake of a Human League song from the 80s. I think this tune will the top ten.

Britain’s favourite four piece Take That have written and recorded a soaring new song entitled 'Rule The World' for the latest epic big screen production from acclaimed film director Matthew Vaughn for Paramount Pictures called 'Stardust'.

This will be the first time the band have written and recorded a song specifically for a film. Grammy Award-winning producer John Shanks (who also produced the band’s current album ‘Beautiful World’) worked on the musical arrangement for the track which was recorded with the band at Abbey Road Studios which is also where they shot the video. The video and the recording of the track also features the Millennia Ensemble, an 18 piece string ensemble.

'Stardust' isn’t just any film, it’s been dubbed "this autumn’s escape into enchantment" and features an all star cast including Robert De Niro, Sienna Miller, Ricky Gervais, Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sir Ian McKellen and Rupert Everett to name but a few and will be in UK cinemas from October 19th. - HMV

Not really a shocker this has gone back up again, what with the Brits and Stardust being out on DVD.
TT, are having the Brit effect of the previous week, along with Mika and Leona

Take That - Rule The World such a great song.

 

It will go down in music history as yet another classic UK#2 hit.

I LOVE Alphabeat and hate camp music. They have a real Indie aesthetic going with them too. Just they shot a HORRIFIC video which makes the song come across a little differently I think...

 

I hope you meant indie as in on oan independent label because they sure as hell are NOT indie in any sense of the word that means alternative. This is bloody dire and it sounds like something that Same Difference would have sung on X-Factor. God they make Scouting For Girls sound intriguing and interesting.
