Weekly Top Ten: Victory For The Monsters
Well, it took you long enough! After weeks of taunting, Lady Gaga‘s brigade of little monsters have voted “Alejandro” to the Weekly Top Ten‘s number one spot. Can she beat Kylie Minogue and steal the title of 2010 Song of Summer? We’ll have to wait […]
Album Review: Arcade Fire
