ALBUM OF THE WEEK: LMFAO - SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING
 
LMFAO did it right with this album. There's no shortage of hit dance music here. Highlights include the two No. 1's and "Take it to the Hole" and the retro-sounding "All Night Long". I give it a B ...no ballads, I would given it an A for a solid ballad.

SONG OF THE WEEK: FLO RIDA - WILD ONES

It's #1 on the NZ Music chart and has a catchy tune.  Features Sia, a lady with a beautiful voice. Definitely another hit!
