Over the big blue pacific, we have been watching this week's Top 100, to see what is shaking in the world of pop.
No major surprises, Gaga's at No.1, Black Eyed Peas enter at No.5 but few fun new poptatsic tracks entering the top 20!
Nicki Minaj - Moment 4 Life (Clean Version) ft. Drake
Did you know Nicki Minaj is her third alter ego? In an interview with the New York, to escape her real life problems when she was younger at her parents she would create characters and live her life through them. “to get away from all their fighting, I would imagine being a new person. "Cookie" was my first identity—that stayed with me for a while. I went on to "Harajuku Barbie", then "Nicki Minaj". Fantasy was my reality”
We love an alter ego here at SCP HQ. We did a quick count of alters in the office today and we named 6, which is concerning as there is only 1 of us in.
GLEE CAST - Loser Like Me
We heart Glee and could easily see this entering the top ten this week.
Did you know that Mr Schuster, aka Matthew Morrison used to be in a boyband LMNT? Pronounced "elements", they band had only a brief moment in the charts. In 2002. They released their only album called All Sides including the single "Juliet" and a cover of country singers Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's 1997 duet, It's Your Love.
Rihanna - S&M
Yes, the track is naughty, about bondage and singing about whips & chains but do we really need to prove we are 18 and over to play the video on YouTube! Instead we have updated the SCP Remixed page with our fav Dave Aude mix of the track instead. We love Mr Aude, he has some cracking remixes.
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
We've all heard this song a thousand times already, so we thought we play our favourite cover of the track instead.
(We actually think this is as good or if not better, than the original! But don't tell Gaga we said that! )
Right, we offer to drink with our alters, sorry friends.
