Over the weekend I got turned on to the young pop wonder that is Lily Allen, whose Smile reached #1 in the UK pop charts last week.
As an aside, Ray LaMontagne, Snow Patrol, Gnarls Barkley and Muse are all in UK Top 40. I can barely turn on a radio here, and the stuff that I like on the US charts hit the UK charts months earlier. Case in point of popular US music being a sad state of affairs: Paris Hilton at #34. (For the curious, a good list of country-by-country chart comparisons can be found at AllofMP3.)
So, Lily Allen. She's this pop-ska 21-year-old cutie pie from London, and is another one of the wonder creatures who has used MySpace to launch her career. Her music is good if you're in the mood for giggling, dancing, or giggling and dancing simultaneously. Check out her site here, or go to Lily's MySpace for more info.

If you haven't yet, you should hear her cover of Kaiser Chiefs; "Oh My God." It's quite good.
