In one of those online polls that makes you fear for the sexual development of Internet-enabled persons as a whole; Britney Spears’ clip for “Toxic” has been named the “Most Sexy Video” of all time by the users of the UK music-video site Muzu.tv; No. 1 on the corresponding “Least Sexy” list, meanwhile, is Madonna’s leotard-tastic “Hung Up”. In case you’re wondering just what the gender breakdown of the artists included on each list is: The “Most” list has a 6.5/3.5 female/male split (although I don’t think I’d be wrong to guess that Robert Palmer’s “Addicted To Love,” No. 10, was deemed “sexy” not because of the late blue-eyed soul singer but by his fake female backing band); the “Least” list’s split, meanwhile, is 4/6. The only artist to make both the “most” and “least” lists? Robbie Williams-spawning Britboyband Take That. (How UKrazy!) The two top tens after the jump. MORE »

Who knows whether it’ll result in any recorded material, or just more frothy speculation from across the pond—but hey, any limp excuse to post the video for the group’s 1995 single (and lone hit in America) “Back For Good” is OK by me! Clip after the jump. MORE »

What we’re currently missing at this evening’s Brit Awards thanks to the almost-up-to-the-minute magic of the Guardian’s (snoozy) liveblog: “20.10: Despite actually showing up this year, and doing so in fancy dress, Take That just won Best Live Act over the Arctic Monkeys.” Ah, sweet justice.
