Because singing with your hair brush shouldn’t cost the Earth…

Here’s what’s been rocking the world of music over the past two weeks. As a way to remind you not to keep your laptops, iPods and other music-listening devices on charge 24/7 we tell you whether we think these tunes are sh*t or a hit. It’s a simple game: if it’s a hit turn up the speakers to 11. And if it’s sh*t, remember to turn off your charger…

Ed Sheeran has broken the US chart record with his debut album by becoming the first British male to score a Billboard top 5 LP (we bet NME’s Luke Lewis is feeling a bit silly right now). We think it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke so here’s the video for Lego House to get your toes tapping on the bus… HIT

The TOWIE lot really aren’t giving up on their mission to take over the world (even though recent attempts have been less than fruitful). The latest TOWIE star to branch out is Jessica Wright who has now released her own single entitled Dance All Night. It’s the perfect example of why, just because someone lets you into a recording studio, it doesn’t mean you should actually release a single… SH*T

We’re sure you were glued to the football on TV last night like us. We’ve had our fingers crossed all week that Italy would be going home (and sending Postcards from Italy rather than Poland) but alas, it’s over for England now! So here’s the track by Beirut to cheer you up… HIT

We love a good gossip and we’ve been dying to know what really went on between Katy Perry and Russell Brand before their split. Luckily for us Katy perry has opened up in her brand new single Wide Awake. Here’s the brooding new video that reveals all… HIT

Our last tune of the week is a bit of a weird one, but we had to share it with you. Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter has teamed up with Slow Club to make this video for their new single Beginners. We won’t tell you much more about it except for that there’s a drinks minesweep and air guitar moves. The Global Cool office is split right down the middle so you guys decide if it’s SH*T or a HIT…

If you need some musical inspiration why not check out our Spotify playlist to get you grooving on the bus to work. Have a lovely week!

Here comes the science bit…

All Global Cool articles highlight one of four ways (the one in bold below) to start living greener. Click the links to find out more…

1. Be a winner, not a binner (aka recycling and reusing stuff)
2. Turn up the style, not the heat (aka not charging electrical devices 24/7)
3. Love the trend, not the spend (aka buying stuff that doesn’t harm the planet)
4. Do it in public (aka ditching the car and plane when you can)
