Beyonce

Beyonce is back with 1 + 1, One Direction unleash a pop monster and Rihanna gets the drinks in…

This week’s best new video: Beyoncé – 1+1

Taken from Bey’s incredible album ’4’, here’s the seductive and sexy follow-up to the amazing ’Best Thing I Never Had’. Released just as she annouced her first pregnancy, there’s no sign of a baby bump though!

Hot this week – top 5

1. Ed Sheeran – You Need Me, I Don’t Need You

Filmed in black and white and only featuring glimpses of the man himself, this brilliant video features some of the coolest sign language ever and was the Top 5 follow-up to ’The A Team’, from his album ’+’.

 

2. Cover Drive – Lick Ya Down
Smashing its way into the UK Top 10 shortly after becoming a huge US hit too, here’s the ridiculously addictive pop nugget. Lead singer Manda claims this isn’t a rude tune despite what you might have thought!

 

3. One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful
After forming on TV’s X Factor, Harry, Zayn, Liam, Louis and Niall finally released this debut single a year later and you’d be hard pressed to find anything as instantly addictive as this absolute monster!

 

4. Rihanna – Cheers (Drink To That)

We’d pretty much lost count on the number of tracks that Rihanna had pulled from her amazing 2010 album ’Loud’ when this became yet another Top 40 hit for her. The video documents a bonkers year on the road.

 

5. Leona Lewis/Avicii – Collide
Blasting straight into the UK Top 5 and setting things up for Leona’s third studio album ’Glassheart’, this tune features production team Avicii and heralded a confident new upbeat sound for the pop diva.

 

Top 5 – Leona Lewis

She’s gone from shy Hackney chanteuse to world-conquering superstar. Here’s Leona’s top 5:

1. A Moment Like This
2. Better In Time
3. Bleeding Love
4. Run
5. Forgive Me
