Year after year the brits just seem to be able to turn out quality pop stars who aren’t boring. Something in the Water?
Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of crap ones, but now and then you come across someone like Ellie Goulding.
Starting off as a song writer and collaborating with people like Frankmusic, Ellie recently got the industry buzzing, making it to the top of the BBC Sounds of 2010 list.
Drawing similarities to singers like Little Boots and Kate Nash, Ellie is definitely going to have success. Her debut album drops in March and her first single is called Starry Eyed.
Check it out below, this is song is going to be huge!

Either I am way behind the times or this has just not gotten the publicity it deserves yet.
Either way a Youtuber named Fatty Spins has made a song called Apple Store Love.
Words can’t really give this song credit, it’s just a masterpiece.

Gold Coast Pint-sized rockers Operator Please have spent the last year working on a new record packed full of Jungle-Pop tunes.
Lead singer Amadah and her troops are set to take over the airwaves once again with their new single Logic. A 80’s inspired Pop/Rock track with a funk influence, Logic takes OP to a new level of maturity in their music.
While we wait for their new album, Gloves, which is due next month and their video for Logic which is due very soon, check out the full track of Logic below!

UK outfit New Young Pony Club are back with new material for 2010!
Their upcoming second album, The Optimist, is due to hit stores in early March.
The First taste from the album is a track called Chaos. From listening to Chaos, without a doubt the sound on the new album will be different from their earlier work.
As a big fan of New Young Pony Club and I am hopping that there are some great album tracks on The Optimist, cause right now I’m not feeling very optimistic.
Check out the very simplistic video for Chaos bellow.

One of our favourite Youtube’rs Meghan Tonjes just seems to be able to adapt anything.
We have seen her do covers of ballads and all sorts in the past, but Meghan has now shown she can pretty much do anything.
Attempting to cover Lady Gaga’s Song Telephone seems quite a challenge when you inly using your guitar and coat hangers, watch Meghan pull it off below.

*Lady Gaga takes self-defence to the next level.
* The UK Singles chart is changing forever.
* Shakira fully believes in Sex Sells.
*Beyonce won a load of Grammys, as did Taylor Swift. Beyonce is the better of those two female recording artistes, in case you are wondering.
* Shirly Manson has dropped some exciting news, everyone is picking it up for her.
* For the first time since releasing her latest record 2 months ago, someone actually convinced Rihanna to promote the record.
*Susan Boyle has been given some round the clock security guards until the end of time.
* It has nothing to do with music, but this is just funny.

I know, I know. I am posting a song from Natalie Bassingthwaigthe, don’t worry I haven’t gone round the bend.
For the same-sex law reform campaign, Wear It With Pride, Nat recently teamed up with the LGBT Health Alliance to celebrate the 85 new same-sex law reforms.
They made a video, filled with celebrity cameos to her track Love Like This. It’s camp as all get up, but thats the point.
Some of the arrangements in the song are also quite good, its one of Nat’s better ones.
