We are as shocked as you are. Britney can apparently stand up, hold a microphone AND carry a tune all at the same time. Two questions:
1. Where has this Britney been hiding?
2. Ok that's really it. WTF WOMAN, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE THIS BEFORE
Amazing. A glimpse of what could be - and if she knows what's good for her, what will be.

Chart Chat UK: September 6, 2009
The 'epic chart battle' of the week is over, and it's 1776 all over again. The American Jay-z (and Rihanna and Kanye West) track reigns supreme over Brit girls Sugababes who are relegated to number 2 with the first single off their upcoming album. To be fair, the 'babes never really had a chance against such a pedigree, as 'Run This Town' matches three of hip-hop's biggest luminaries. Also new in the top 10 are Kings of Leon, whose 'Sex On Fire' screams into the number 6 position after the song was performed on the X-Factor. The track is already the most-downloaded song in UK history, and this rather staggering re-entry proves there are somehow still a few people who don't already own it. Woman of the moment - or should we say Lady - Ms. Gaga helps Wale to a number 12 spot with 'Chillin,' while Just Jack hangs around with his new track at 15. The 16 spot goes to Booty Luv's 'Say It,' which while not the outright bomb of the week (we'll get to that in a moment), is a far cry from the top 10 successes they enjoyed with the last couple songs. There's little else of note in the top 40...Temper Trap hangs out at 29 with 'Sweet Disposition,' and Prodigy make an appearance at 38 with 'Take Me To The Hospital.' Perhaps most interesting is what is NOT in the top 40 this week. Dolly Rockers, the ScopiSat favorite and much-buzzed-about girlband, are nowhere to be seen. The girls' first proper single, 'Gold Digger,' is a mix of talky northern sass and hooky chorus and it quite frankly is a bit of a shock to not see it at least in the make a bit of a splash. This certainly isn't how their big debut was meant to go, but hopefully there is more to come from the terrific trio. Next week brings another hotly-tipped debut, from Mini Viva with 'I Left My Heart In Tokyo.' As of this writing the track already in the top 15 on iTunes so it looks like they'll avoid the DOA label. To see just how far they manage to actually go, check back next week!

Listen to Leona Lewis' leaked new single 'Happy'
And it is very very good. Let us say that again. It is not bad. It is not average. It is not good. It is VERY VERY GOOD. It's like her people realized her cover of 'Run' was the best thing that ever happened to pop and then had Ryan Tedder write her another 'Run' that is better because it has never been done by Snow Patrol but worse because it is not ACTUALLY 'Run.' Essentially it is just what a 'second album lead single' from Leona Lewis should sound like.

La Roux is not your toy in their new video
La Roux is finally putting out a single ScopiSat can get on board with. It has proper verses and choruses and doesn't involve ear-splitting wails during either. Well done. The video is also quite good and fun and has lots of cool elements like glasses and old men but it's Saturday and we're too lazy to write a proper review so you can watch and talk amongst yourselves about it.
Out the 28th of September on Polydor

It's Scopitone Saturday!!
This week, Joi Lansing once again supplies us with a delightfully wholesome Scopitone. From the opening 'I mean business and that business is SEX' walk to the flesh colored 'I mean fun and that fun is SEX' one-piece, Joi shows us that EVEN BUSTY BLONDES can be sexy.

Listen to the new Robbie single
We're waiting to fully judge. It certainly is a grower. It certainly has a lot of fun production bits. It's certainly 'old Robbie done in a new way.' It certainly tries to be controversial ('Jesus didn't die for you, what are you on?'). It certainly has a choir and epic strings. It most certainly will be at the top of the charts soon. And as we've been writing this the song has been playing again and just scratch all of the above because it is AMAZING.
