Hello again everyone, and welcome to the last post of April (there have been a lot of them). I thought that seeing as how it’s the end of the month and I haven’t put up a favourites post since January , it was time I wrote one for you all. This is going to be all of the new music, TV shows, and movies I’ve been enjoying lately. DOCTOR WHO If you’re a regular follower of me, you will know that I am a massive fan of Doctor Who and have been wanting a new series for a long time now, so I am over the moon that it is finally back. Although there have now been three episodes, I have at the time of writing finished only the review of episode one, but I am working on the other reviews and they will be up soon for you. Until then, just be glad this television icon is back and enjoy it! And, of course, read the review of episode one! PETER KAY’S CAR SHARE My mum introduced me to this TV series whilst I was back home for Easter and I cannot believe I’ve never watched it bef...

Hello again everyone. On Saturday, Doctor Who returned at last! After more than a year of waiting, our favourite time-travelling alien is back with a new sonic, a new companion, and some cracking new adventures on the way over the next three months! With the return of the show comes the return of my episode reviews, where I’ll be sharing my thoughts on each episode, and looking at my expectations for upcoming episodes as well. This is my review of episode 1 “The Pilot”. WARNING! This post contains spoilers so if you have not seen it yet, DO NOT read on. BILL Of course, this episode centred around new companion Bill as she meets the Doctor for the first time. We already knew from hearsay that Bill was going to be a different kind of companion to those we have seen in the past, but The Pilot really gave her a chance to show us exactly who she was and how unique a companion she is going to be. She asks different types of questions to what we have come to expect from...

Hello everyone, and welcome to the final instalment of Trent’s Tracks of 2007. I am going to be counting down my top 40 tracks from 2007, with two songs added to the list every weekday throughout April. I hope you will all enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane as we go back to a decade ago! Well, what a month it has been. We have counted down 38 songs over the last four weeks, all of which are amazing and showcase what a fantastic year for music 2007 was. But, it is now time to reveal which songs have made it to the top 2, and ultimately find out which one has made it to number 1. So, a bit about the last two songs before telling you the order. Mika spent 5 weeks at number 1 in the UK with this song, and it effectively launched his career and the incredible year he would go on to have, with other hits such as Big Girl (You Are Beautiful), Happy Ending, and Love Today all going on to be big sellers in 2007 for him. Grace Kelly is a fast, happy tune with a very singalo...

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Trent’s Tracks of 2007. I am going to be counting down my top 40 tracks from 2007, with two songs added to the list every weekday throughout April. I hope you will all enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane as we go back to a decade ago! We only have four songs left on this countdown! The track in 4 th place is the last collaboration to appear on this list. Prepare to do the “wee-woos” as you listen and for those of you who didn’t know what she is saying in that fast bit, it is: Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor, it’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator, maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold If you just sang that then you know what’s coming. At 4, it is Gwen Stefani and Akon with The Sweet Escape. At 3 on my countdown, it is the Sugababes with an incredible track from late on in ’07. It is in fact one of my favourite Sugababes songs and I still play it on a regular basis just because ...

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Trent’s Tracks of 2007. I am going to be counting down my top 40 tracks from 2007, with two songs added to the list every weekday throughout April. I hope you will all enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane as we go back to a decade ago! At 6 on this list, it is Avril Lavigne, with Girlfriend. Be prepared to sing along with a ton of attitude as you play this track. I love the sassiness this song, and I’m sure there are a lot of you who do too. We now go into the top 5! In September 2007, this song spent 4 weeks at number one and was a massive success. It is an incredible song, and it is hard to believe that this guy was only 17 at the time it was released! Since then, he has gone on to work with the likes of Akon, Nicki Minaj, and Justin Bieber among others, and it all started a decade ago with this song. Everyone, this is Sean Kingston with Beautiful Girls, at number 5 on my Tracks of 2007. 6 Avril Lavign...

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Trent’s Tracks of 2007. I am going to be counting down my top 40 tracks from 2007, with two songs added to the list every weekday throughout April. I hope you will all enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane as we go back to a decade ago! It is time to look at numbers 8 and 7 on this chart. In 2007, this song was all over the place. Not only did it launch the Kaiser Chiefs into being household names, it also sparked a rise in the number of babies being given the same name as this track. I’m sure you’ll all agree that this deserves to be recognised as an icon. Here is Ruby , coming in at 8. At 7, it is a collaboration between two of the biggest divas in music. When Beyoncé teamed up with Colombian sensation Shakira for this song, it was a smash all over the world. I love the vibe from this track and it is simply a great song. Everyone, I give you Beautiful Liar. 8 Kaiser Chiefs Ruby Video: https://www.youtube....

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Trent’s Tracks of 2007. I am going to be counting down my top 40 tracks from 2007, with two songs added to the list every weekday throughout April. I hope you will all enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane as we go back to a decade ago! It is already the final week of April, which means that this countdown is almost at an end. By this time on Friday, we will have gone through all 40 songs and I will have revealed my number 1 song of 2007. Today, we enter the top 10. At 10, it is the biggest-selling song of 2007 in the UK. It spent a staggering 10 weeks at the top of the charts here in the summer of that year. Whilst this country suffered some of the worst floods for years, this song was playing on radios and MP3 players (remember those?) everywhere almost as though it was taunting us Brits about being under our umbrellas all summer! Yes, here is the summer sensation that is Umbrella from Rihanna and Jay-Z. At 9, a cover versio...
