What songs are currently the most popular among our friends across the pond this week? Let's have a look.
10. Girls Aloud "The Promise" - My five favorite ladies are enjoying yet another week in the top ten. The gods are favoring them right now.
9. Akon "Right Now (Nah Nah)" - Not even the Britons are immune to festering garbage like this.
8. X Factor Finalists "Hero" - Refer to the comments I made about the number 9 song.
7. Britney Spears "Womanizer" - Not as big of a hit over here as it was on our home turf. Then again, Britney wasn't wandering around London bald and without panties all last year, so maybe they just don't care.
6. Alesha Dixon "The Boy Does Nothing" - Considering it's a Xenomania track, a.k.a. pop meisters that are responsible for all of Girls Aloud's music (in other words- absolute genius), "The Boy Does Nothing" is possibly one of this year's most irritating singles.
5. Katy Perry "Hot 'N Cold" - Yawn. Not particularly interesting.
4. The Killers "Human" - You could say this song is doing slightly better in the UK than it did on our shores.
3. Beyonce "If I Were A Boy" - I'm still failing to understand the magnetic forces that the world's charts seem to have to Beyonce songs. How in the hell can this cow routinely deliver bad music and still land herself bigger hits each time?
2. T.I. featuring Rihanna "Live Your Life" - "Mai A Hee" is certainly no work of art, that's for sure. But why botch up that song's amazing Euro-trashiness for some ghetto low-rida anthem? And how many times can we listen to Rihanna singing through Autotune? I mean, honestly.
1. Take That "Greatest Day" - Their comeback isn't stopping, apparently. Robbie Williams must be loving this.
Despite the presence of Beyonce and Akon, overall I'd say the UK Top 10 is far more agreeable than anything that reaches the top of America's charts. But we'll discuss that on Thursday when the Billboard charts are announced.
