Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

Scouting For Girls: She's So Lovely [Scouting For Girls] 35 (34) Scouting For Girls - She's So Lovely Love this song, and the hottie in the video is a model called Louise Glover (google for her images, but not from work!). See the video here.

Cascada: What Hurts The Most [Perfect Day] 38 (28) Cascada - What Hurts The Most The dance remix of this track really works well, given that the original was by Celebrity Big Brother racist scum Jo O'Meara from S Club 7 as her dreadful attempt to restart her solo career. Well worth a listen! Click here to see the video

Girls Aloud: Call The Shots [Tangled Up] 33 (29) Girls Aloud - Call The Shots Very mediocre track that doesn't know whether it should actually get going or not. In the end, it doesn't. Click here to see the video

Duffy: Mercy [Rockferry] 1 Duffy - Mercy *1st Week at No.1* They say she's the new Dusty Springfield but it certainly doesn't work for me. For those whom it does, check out the following clips: Click here for her GMTV performance and interview Click here for her Culture Show performance
