It’s a testament to the enduring power of the penis that whereas so many boy bands have split up due to bad record sales that the female area of this market is still so prominent.
In their defence, groups like Girls Aloud and Sugababes have lasted because they have inoffensive solid pop singles, have made them consistently and have been well marketed. Something Kind of Oooh contains everything they’ve built the career on. A solid bass line, catchy chorus and a sexy video. Good pop music is always preferable to bad indie music and being un-ashamedly good at what you do is worthy of praise and the very fact that Girls Aloud have had this many top-ten singles over three albums shows the very good at what they do, so fair play to them.
