This Manchester coed duo's irresistibly upbeat ''Shut Up and Let Me Go'' has become the latest single to enjoy a digital-sales bump due to its placement in an iPod commercial. And here's some good news for anyone who bought that track: The Ting Tings' debut, We Started Nothing comes packed with a peppy parade of songs likewise steeped in electro beats and chant-along vocals — from the playfully taunting ''That's Not My Name'' to the dreamy near-ballad ''Be the One.'' Who knew the sound of Nothing could be so much fun? B+
