either broken record or black and yellow
i heard the j-lo song when watching American Idol w my mom (this and Rebecca Black were my only compromises with my self-imposed Lent music ban) and I was kinda shocked at how un-catchy I found it...
Yep.
Following Annastasia Baker's audition of the song on The X Factor on 28 August 2010, the single re-entered the UK Singles Chart at #24 on 5 September 2010. After a subsequent performance of the song by various artists at boot camp shown 26 September, it peaked at #4 on 3 October 2010.
Dylan's version didn't make the charts though.

Having only knowingly heard 17 of these at the start of the week, I have spent the last couple of days diligently working my way through all 40 tracks.

They're OK - 14

Here they all are, in descending order of preference.

Broken Record is amazing, the final third where she starts singing "like a broken record" and the 90s style breakbeats kick in and it all lifts off is probably my favourite musical moment of this year. Everyone needs to hear it (and the album for that matter).

'Wonderman' is pretty great as well, much better than "fifth single off the album, featuring Ellie Goulding" would lead you to believe.

I'm not sure how far I could rationally justify my liking for "Hello"! For me, it has good associations with warm-up DJs/excited crowds at arena gigs.

X-Post. Well, might have gone for Lady Gaga or Rihanna as well, but feel none of those are among their best.
