SONG REVIEW: They may have recently topped both the UK and Irish Singles Chart alongside 'Prince Of Grime' Tinchy Stryder recently but N-Dubz as a whole have yet to achieve that all important breakthrough hit. Despite gaining legions of fans (including myself), releasing seven singles and setting forth the poppy Strong Again a while back, could Wouldn't You give N-Dubz the commercial success they deserve?

Song: Et Cetera

Genre: Pop rock

Peak Position: 6 (IRL)

Okay just thought I'd give Irish viewers a round up of my opinions on the Top 50 Singles Chart in Ireland as of 30 April 2009. This is basically a rehash of last weeks charts but with any new entries added in afterwards.

50. Kids-MGMT: Basically in a few words, I'll say this. MGMT are the most exciting synthpop/indie kids to come out in 2009 and this song proves that. This cheery crazy indie pop track perfectly captures the youthful, cosmopolitan lifestyle of their New York homeland and spreads it to a universal audience. (4/5)

49. Crack A Bottle-Eminem featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent: Ooooooh Em I am disappointed. This is neither witty like The Real Slim Shady or serious like Stan. It's dirty pop rap, that's all! The tune is reasonably catchy I guess but...nah! (2/5)

Okay just thought I'd give Irish viewers a round up of my opinions on the Top 50 Singles Chart in Ireland as of 9 April 2009. This is basically a rehash of last weeks charts but with any new entries added in afterwards.

50. Let It Rock-Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne: Nothing amazing about this track. It's a slick, danceable, electronic rock track that will have you up dancing to its infectious beats. (3/5)

49. The Galway Girl-Mundy and Sharon Shannon: Ah I see this has dropped 10 places this week. The Irish folk song has been around forever and it definitely has a timeless quality to it but I don't wanna hear this constantly on the radio again-sorry! Seeing the drop in the charts looks like the song will move off for another while longer. (4/5)

48. Take Me Back-Tinchy Stryder featuring Taio Cruz: I really think that UK urban stars can really give the Americans a run for their money. Even though this house tune has rather repetitive lyrics-the production, the beats, Tinchy's slick rapping and Cruz's smooth, soulful vocals all work so well. If this was released by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake in the US, it would be topping the Billboard Chart! (4/5)
