Kylie Minogue: 'Better Than Today'

There's no set formula for becoming a first-rate female popstar. Taylor's relatable, KP works a nice line in being provocative-in-a-cartoony-kinda-way, K$'s mere existence makes you feel that bit more clean and sober than you really are, and Kylie, well, she's got what that Irish chappie with the dodgy dye job who sits alongside her sister every Saturday and Sunday night calls "The Likeability Factor".

And that's something this latest single taps into brilliantly. 'Better Than Today' isn't the freshest confection you'll sample this party season, nor the flashiest, but it's sweet, seductive and pretty much impossible not to succumb to over and over again - call it a dance-pop macaroon! Oh, and kudos to co-scribes Nerina Pallot and Andy Chatterly for coming up with probably the Kyliest Kylie lyric ever: "What's the point in living if you don't wanna dance?" Someone stick it on a T-shirt NOW.
