Flogging Molly - Float - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-PmyAfQ5xY
Katy Perry - One of The Boys - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X75mry1LcFg However, as several people I know are mildly allergic to Katy Perry, I bring a cover version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpWAl8C0H0A why yes, it's German rockabilly, which was introduced to my friends by some French fencers.
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of The Understatement - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGV8xCkpXjE A band containing offshoots from the Arctic Monkeys and The Rascals and Simian Mobile Disco. And yet better than all of the above combined. I adore LSP.
Coldplay - Viva La Vida - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgZkm1xWPE
Lady Gaga - The Fame - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Abk1jAONjw
Kings of Leon - Only By The Night - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWhairF_DS8 Talking about bands/acts that just seemed to explode all of a sudden. This is my favourite single off the album.
Kaiser Chiefs - Off With The Heads - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XldnORDPYuQ
Pink - Funhouse - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exaZPqql56w I like this just because it's so different to everything else that was about at the time in terms of pop music.
Taylor Swift - Fearless - http://www.youtube.com/user/TaylorSwiftVEVO#p/u/2/mNLVMDF9mUo Sound quality is a bit variable at the start. I couldn't find a decent version of the video so I thought why not use a live one because, and I'll say this for her, she's not my kind of music, but she can do it live.
Beyonce - I Am Sasha Fierce - Halo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcMmRL6_r24 and I am going to be cheeky so have the video for 'If I Were A Boy' as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWpsOqh8q0M I <3 this song. And the video. It's clever. I approve of this.
The Killers - Day and Age - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3hyrkzFRss
Britney Spears - Circus - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aEnnH6t8Ts If U Seek Amy, which I still can't find the filth in ;) or rather I can but talk about blown out of all proportion.
Duffy - Rockferry - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZ5-L9znt8 I was deeply amused whenever Duffy was all 'I was doing this way before Amy Winehouse went all 60s'. I'm like 'yes, dear, you were, but the only reason you got the level of publicity and hence sales was because of Amy Winehouse. Also, you're not Dusty Springfield.'
The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMCtntt32qU
Adele - Chasing Pavements - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yERuYZYab2E&feature=related

Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAp9BKosZXs Yes, I know but even the people who hate it have to admit it was a big hit. Being as I am an awkward cow, I bring two more versions, both of which mess with the dynamic of the song a little. John Barrowman's version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMncnFQkZ5w (sound quality terrible, singing variable, energy immense)
Cobra Starship's I Kissed A Boy (Just To Start Shit) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtCKhQw0x8U Yes, I know. But damn it, I can't help it, it's the troublemaker gene expressing itself.
Coldplay - Violet Hill - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IakDItZ7f7Q No, I still don't like them. Yes, this is a good song.
Lady Gaga - Poker Face - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESGLojNYSo This the first Gaga track that really exploded over here.

Beyonce and Lady Gaga - Videophone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGkvXp0vdng I don't like this track. I think it's Beyonce trying to be too harsh and electronical. I mean, more power to her elbow for trying it, but I don't think it suits her.

Kelly Rowland - Work - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py_PavqqOao Yes, it's the Freemasons mix, but that's because that's the version I know. This is the original - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuGhDHxs9xw

Jack White and Alicia Keys - Another Way To Die - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icrNkmf9uyQ This is one of those things where I and my flist disagree. I like the music for this, it's the singing that's out of place. And it's my beloved Jack's voice that's probably what doesn't work.
Alicia Keys - No One - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rywUS-ohqeE
