1. Started From The Bottom – Drake – Drake is really unique, he can take what would be dreary by anybody else and spin gold. This is the most depressing song ever written about the joys of success. It can’t seem to drag itself out of the nightclub – Grade: B+

5. Virginia Plain – The Bryan Ferry Orchestra – 1920s ragtime instrumental by the always game Ferry and I can’t wait for the tour. Of course, there is no real reason at all for it, though the trumpet flying down to Rio needs no excuse – Grade: B+
