We loved The Big Pink's 'Velvet' single so much, we were a little worried this might not be able to live up to it's predecessor. What fools we were! 'Stop the World' is an absolutely massive track, taking the best parts of shoegaze, uplifting indie rock and even electronic flourishes to create one of the most exciting tunes we've heard since, well, 'Velvet'. Get it here for just 50p.

There's not much we need to say about this, is there? La Roux are THE pop success of 2009, and with the massive singles 'Bulletproof' and 'In For The Kill' leading the way, their debut album simply cannot lose. When you've stopped dancing like it's 1982, why not check out our fantastic interview with the band, or enter our competition to see them live?
