Batman and Robyn

It's taken us around two weeks to recover from that Diana Vickers review. But thankfully we've been jerked back into reality, and it's all thanks to not having any more bloody exams to do the travesty that is the chart position of Robyn's new single this Sunday. Dancing On My Own. Here's the video; it's got a very half-finished feel to it. Almost as if they stopped building the set half-way through but Robyn was just like "screw it, the quality of my emoting is such that no one will really notice anyway."



The song itself is absolutely spectacular, and taps in perfectly to this "sad disco" malarkey (c.f. Scissor Sisters Fire With Fire; Lady Gaga Alejandro) which really is invigorating pop music this Summer. And, where, I hear you cry is this masterpiece of modern pop music and (if we're being honest) the natural lyrical progression from The Smiths' How Soon Is Now? going to chart if the Friday midweeks are to be believed?

Number 7.

:'(

But it's OK, because thankfully James Corden and Dizzy Rascal are here to massacre Tears For Fears in the name of cheering on the English Football team.

Thank God, we were worried that pop music had just curled into a corner and died for a second.

As we've said before, if All The Lovers can't make number 1 this Summer, then everyone might as well pack up and go home.
