Guilty Pleasures

We've all got them, be it food, drink, music... you get the point. In the past couple of weeks, I fear I have discovered my guilty pleasure in music.

I originally thought my guilty pleasure would stem from the clubber in me, who has emerged since I've been at University. I now own a significant amount of 'that' kind of music, which as anyone who truly knows me will know, is not exactly my usual taste in music. However, I have learnt to embrace it and love it (with some exceptions of course...)

My guilty pleasure is also not all the 90s Pop I own, because let's be honest, I am PROUD to have loved S Club 7, Busted, Steps... I could go on.

No, the most worrying development in my musical tastes has come in the past couple of weeks. Since S Club 7 split up, pop music has ceased to be my forte, excluding Take That of course. Any mention of The Saturdays for example and I run a mile. I would normally say the same for The WANTED, but the release of 'Glad You Came,' has changed my mind. In all honesty, I have become a little bit obsessed with listening to it, which has since developed into an unhealthy obsession with their other videos, mainly 'Gold Forever.' I'm starting to annoy myself with how much I listen to their latest hit, so much so that I downloaded it, just so I could stop watching the video on YouTube. It has now become my iPod's guilty pleasure.

I'm sure I will get a lot of grief for my obsession with this song, but I will constantly use the excuse of it being my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
