I :heart: :wub: this song so much, the best track from the album, I would love this to get to number 1, this is classic Madge, i still can't believe this is a Neptunes/Pharrell production, I remember thinking this sounds way too dancey for them, love it!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this Madonna song - probable #1 I think.

 

Better than 4 Minutes, but I doubt it'll be No.1. Might just go Top 5 - hopefully

35 :right: (from 35) Scouting For Girls - Heartbeat [P]

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697271242.JPG

 

Chart Run: 64-40-27-19-14-10-10-13-20-17-25-35-35 [13 wks]

 

Release date: 7-4-2008

Availability: in stock

Number of Discs: 1

Catalogue Number: 88697271242

Label: EPIC

 

Gentle piano-led indie popsters whose self-titled debut hit the top spot in the UK album chart in 2008. Musically, Scouting For Girls (the band's name a mildly humorous play on Robert Baden-Powell's 'Scouting For Boys' handbook) are similar to the Ben Folds Five, but lyrically they are closer to the Arctic Monkeys. After building up a large MySpace following (naturally their fans are known as Wolf Cubs), Scouting For Girls signed to Epic. The SCOUTING FOR GIRLS album featured the top ten singles "She's So Lovely" and the witty "Elvis Ain't Dead". - HMV

 

Listen here:

 

track listing

1. Heartbeat

2. Level Pain

At this point the radio goes on mute for the first time, and I feel it may not be the last time either today

 

Fingers crossed we don't have to suffer 'Rockstar' this week or I may shout very loudly......

Chick Lit is alright but isn't a patch on After Hours. Ditto for Give It 2 Me/4 Minutes. Scouting For Girls need shooting.

 

kthxbye

34 :up: (from 38) The Fratellis - Mistress Mabel [P]

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1773039.JPG

 

Chart Run: 27-23-38-34 [4 wks]

 

Release date: 26-5-2008

Availability: in stock

Number of Discs: 1

Catalogue Number: 1773039

Label: ISLAND

 

Scottish trio the Fratellis (not to be confused with the evil gang in Steven Spielberg's GOONIES) seemed to emerge fully formed from the Babyshambles-inspired boho-chic scene that also spawned the Rakes and the Paddingtons. Their debut full-length, COSTELLO MUSIC, mixes the tried-and-true sounds of glam-rock, stripped-down acousticisms, and Class of '77 punk. In time-honoured punk fashion, the three band members all use the surname Fratelli. - HMV

3. When All The Lights Go Out
