VIRGINS Vs. BRITNEY
It's that time of year when the great and the good of the music industry vote for their favourite singles and albums of the year, and, for once, The Golden Virgins have not been overlooked! The very intelligent, charming and attractive Claire Sturgess at XFM Radio has nominated 'Light in Her Window' as her favourite single of the year in the XFM listeners' poll. This means that we are up against the likes of Britney Spears, Razorlight, Franz Ferdinand etc.
Vote for the Golden Virgins until your keyboard breaks and your hands are sore! Do it! NOW!.
