Yes that’s right folks, Soulja Boy has finally been knocked from his long-held position of power atop the worst songs ever chart. And shock horror, a British boy band has outcrapped him.
It’s not that this song is bad, it’s absolutely terrible. There isn’t one good thing to say about this bunch of testosterone-fuelled young idiots […]

Both Linkin Park and Busta Rhymes are two artists who love collaborations, and seem to know who to team up with to ensure success. So it was only a matter of time until the two would come together, and I’m glad they finally have.
I do wonder if they fought over who would get the top […]

I’ve just written a quite impassioned article over on Brit Music Scene imploring the Sex Pistols to finally retire and stop pretending that they are still punks. So I though it worthy to actually remind ourselves of how great they once were.
This is God Save The Queen from 1977, and was released to coincide with […]

I’m a huge fan of Radiohead, the British alternative rockers who made the headlines last year for giving their latest album In Rainbows away virtually for free on the Internet.
There is a new album out now, but Radiohead have nothing whatsoever to do with it. Radiohead: The Best Of has been released by EMI, the […]

This song has been hanging around the charts all over the world for a few months now, and also being played to death on all of the Internet radio stations I spend my day listening to while blogging.
I’ve resisted reviewing it here on Killed By The Video Star over that long period but just couldn’t […]

After reviewing the new single Mistress Mabel from Scottish Indie rockers The Fratellis yesterday, I went on a bit of a Scottish indie band marathon of which the highlight was Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand.
This song is a couple of years old now and was the first taste that most of us had of […]

Scotland seems to have become a hotbed of alternative indie music over the last few years, with bands such as Franz Ferdinand, The View and The Fratellis achieving global super stardom.
This song, Mistress Mabel, marks the return of The Fratellis after a while away working on new material. It shows that they still have the […]

Estelle continues her transformation from British wannabe to American diva with this, her new single entitled No Substitute Love. And as a British guy, I already feel like we’ve lost her to the talent-stealing yanks (no offence).
Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, as she is sure to have a much more successful career […]

Madonna was once one of the sexiest women in the world. Okay, she wasn’t ever as beautiful as Rihanna or Beyonce, but she did have sex appeal in spades and could have had any man she wanted.
Now however, she is middle-aged, saggy around the jowls and generally as sexy as a used dishcloth. That may […]

Yesterday I reviewed Flo Rida featuring Timbaland with Elevator, and the main thrust of my post was how it showed jealousy on Timbaland’s part for not being involved with this song, Umbrella by Rihanna and featuring Jay Z.
It was only at that point that I realised the song, which let’s face it was absolutely everywhere […]
