Britney Spears 'Hold It Against Me'
After wisely side-stepping a confrontation with Lady Gaga last week, Britney's in a real battle of pop powerhouses now. The first single from new album ‘Femme Fatale' raises many questions: What's it got to do with space? What came first, the video or the product placement?Is she after a role in ‘My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' with that dress? But most importantly, is this track really a match for Rastamouse?

Rastamouse 'Ice Pop'
The only thing Rastamouse is advertising on debut single ‘Ice Pop' is how cool he is. The star of the BBC's new animated children's TV show has hooked up with Da Easy Crew and their goal is simple: "Makin' a bad ting good". Based on books by Michael De Souza and Genevieve Webster, the series has already won celebrity fans in the shape of Lily Allen, M.I.A.and Dizzee Rascal. Britney better get in line. (Watch it here)
Adele 'Someone Like You'
Many artists are experiencing a post-Brit Awards ‘bump' this week, as sales take a huge surge following the annual industry bun-fight. Adelelooks like being the big benefactor, following her spine-tingling take on Van Morrison's ‘Someone Like You', which floored fans and critics alike at the O2 and the world over. It takes a lot to shut James Corden up. Something of this pop magnitude, in fact. (Watch it here)
McFly ‘That's The Truth'
McFly'stransformation from knee-high pop squealers to full-on teen rockers continues. Danny, Dougie, Tom and Harry, who have already scored smash hits with the first two singles from latest album ‘Above The Noise', are looking to score a hat-trick. After the bloody mess of their epic ‘Nowhere To Run' film, the only horror on display here is a case of rather serious heartbreak. Somebody call 999! (Watch it here)
Cage The Elephant ‘Shake Me Down'
Kurt Cobain may have died years ago but you can never kill grunge. Just ask Kentucky rockers Cage The Elephant, who are currently tearing up quite a few trees in America with the explosive first single from comeback album ‘Thank You Happy Birthday'. If this lot were coming over to serenade you on such a special occasion, we'd probably recommend some sound proofing. And ear-plugs. (Watch it here)
