NEW YEAR RE-CAP: of the last three weeks

In the spirit of endless New Year re-caps dominating the intranot and VH1, we thought we'd do one covering the last three weeks of pop. We could have done the whole year but can't be bothered and it's never that interesting, or fun. So here we go:

1. We bought Girls Aloud's new album and it's fantastic, forcing us to eat our hats and go back on our words stating that they may have "lost it a bit". We've been listening to the intro of Biology over and over and have decided it is possibly the best pop intro of 2005. It's unfortunately still all downhill from then on, but the rest of the album makes up for it.

And that is that! Three weeks which, you'll agree, reflect the general state of pop in 2005: IN NEED OF A GOOD LOLLY SURGE. Here's to hoping Kylie comes back with something great in 2006, happy new year.
