This week’s best new video: Beyonce – Run The World (Girls)

The lead single taken from Beyonce’s upcoming album 4 which is to be released in June. The video was premiered on Wednesday’s episode of American Idol, as well as, online via VEVO.

Beyonce had already release two video teaser clips for the video which was directed by Francis Lawrence in Los Angeles at the beginning of April. The videos is rumoured to be Beyonce’s biggest production ever! Lets see does Beyonce really run the world?

Hot this week – top 5

1. Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song

Blasting its way into the UK Top 3 and following hot on the heels of one of 2011’s biggest selling singles ‘Grenade’, Mr Mars and his mates in matching monkey masks all kept it simple for this cheap but cute video, shot in just one take.

 

2. Nicole Scherzinger with 50 Cent – Right There

Not long after Nicole’s first ever solo UK No.1 with top tune ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’, she returned and teamed up with superstar rapper 50 Cent for this insanely catchy track and great video, full of raunchy dance moves for you to master!

 

3. Calvin Harris with Kelis – Bounce

After a year-long break, during which Calvin decided to take a more discreet role in the music world and use guest singers instead of supplying vocals himself, his return saw him team up with ace R&B star Kelis for this monster tune.

 

4. Rihanna – California King Bed

After the controversy of her video for the track ‘S&M’, the first lady of R&B returned with this immaculate tune, a true classic power ballad that’ll be played for years to come and our favourite song from her million-selling ‘Loud’ album.

 

5. Lady GaGa – Judas

This eagerly-awaited follow-up to Top 3 hit ‘Born This Way’ arrived in a blaze of controversy with Gaga playing the part of a modern-day Mary Magdalene riding on a motorbike. As ever, she can never be accused of doing things by halves!

 

Top 5 – Pure Pop Party

Summer is just around the corner – the perfect time for some pure pop. Here are five choice cuts:

  1. Cheryl Cole – Fight For This Love
  2. Justin Bieber with Ludacris – Baby
  3. Miley Cyrus – Party In The USA
