Watch Whitney's 'Million Dollar' video

This is Whit's new video. In it she goes to the dry cleaner and sings to people in the basement because that is the only way to become famous again after you go on a crack binge and marry Bobby Brown. :(



Also she looks like a REALLY GOOD Whitney Houston drag queen.

Good to have you back, Miss H.

Soft Toy Emergency's new single is 'Critical'

ScopiSat doesn't know what to make of Soft Toy Emergency, and even less what to make of their new song. On one hand it's got a great melody, it's got attitude. On the other, WTF IS GOING ON WITH THAT BEAT? It's like the Vengaboys. We're definitely on board with a tip of the hat to the past and we love our retro-referential flourishes, but come on guys. Too soon.



Out in November on AATW but if you want pure 90's joy buy Alphabeat's 'The Spell' instead

Listen to Madonna's new full leaked track 'Revolver' ft Lil Wayne



A new Madonna song has surfaced and it is both crap and amazing. It is amazing because it is Madonna but sounds like Britney or Rihanna without being terribly unoriginal. It is crap because...well because of Lil Wayne. As a whole the track is overwrought, overproduced, and nothing we haven't heard before. But somehow (read: because it is Madonna and she's had some practice at this sort of thing) it ultimately ends up a fantastic anthem that is literally begging to be a single.




'Revolver' features on Madonna's new greatest hits, out Sept 29

Kanye West Apology Generator (Create Your Own Kanye Apology)


This has to be one of the best things to come of the internet since we were told to leave Britney alone. It is timely. It is on the nose. It is harsh but deserved. It is AMAZING. Click here to create your own all-caps, half gibberish, overly punctuated apology with the help of some mad-libs style text entry boxes.

Literally amazing.

The new Alicia Keys track is not bad is it

If you get over the whole 'whiney foghorn' thing it's really pretty good.




'Doesn't Mean Anything' goes to radio Sept 29

Madonna hits 40....number 1's


If Mantis-arms continues at this pace, her tally of number ones will soon match her age. And that's a LOT.

Billboard's Chart Beat this week focuses solely on Madonna and her quite extraordinary feat of achieving 40...FORTY number ones on the Dance/Club Play Chart. Fittingly, the song that rounded out her total is 'Celebration,' a track off her forthcoming greatest hits that is heavily influenced by her career's greatest chart toppers. In all honesty it is quite an amazing record. That's forty individual songs that have at one time or another been the absolute biggest dance song in the entire country. So, hats (or dancing shoes or whatever) off to you, Madge....why don't you go work out or something to celebrate. You clearly have been slacking off.

Billboard's Chart Beat has a nice rundown of all Madonna's hits with dates and chart positions and all that music-nerd stuff that people like us TOTALLY get off on, so head over to their site and check it out.

Jojo has recorded a MIND BLOWING SONG that you must listen to RIGHT AWAY

This track has been knocking around on our iPod for a few weeks now and since we've run out of bad things to say re: Kanye West, it's time to throw the song to the wolves and see if you love it as much as we do.

Apparently this is a track from Jojo's upcoming album, which has been delayed and cancelled and rescheduled and cancelled again all due to some tiff between the 'artiste' and her 'label' about hairstyles or limos or retransmission licensing royalties or something. It's a mighty, mighty shame though, because this jam, called 'Forever In My Life,' is really something of a revelation. Ever since that damn 'Leave (Get Out)' crap, ScopiSat has had the knives out for Jojo, so for a tune to change our mind - and in such spectacular fashion - is quite a feat. It starts out all Christina Aguilera-warbly and you think 'oh this is going to be shit isn't it' but then a beat drops in and then the chorus happens and then a billion magical music nymphs come down from the heavens and dance around in your ears because that is what they do when a song is PROPERLY GOOD and you have drunk some cold medicine.



Amazing? Amazing.

Dolly Rockers know inside us all lives a 'Bingo Freak' (new song)

Ok so it starts out a little weird but then turns into something phenomenal and somehow quite genuine. It's a bit Lily Allen-meets-britpop working class balladry but with big hair and bigger boobs.



Is it just us or can you guys NOT WAIT for this album???
