Spring Singles

We rate the slew of new songs out this season, from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' ''Zero'' to the Pussycat Dolls' ''Jai Ho''

As Winter fades, brand-new tunes blossom. Our barometer, from best to worst.

BLAST IT
Yeah Yeah Yeahs ''Zero''
NYC rockers' synth-mad anthem ignites. Way more than zero!

Peter Bjorn and John ''Nothing to Worry About''
The twee Swedes get funky. Kanye-approved!

Ciara feat. Justin Timberlake ''Love Sex Magic''
R&B baby diva pops squiggly party jam.

Black Eyed Peas ''Boom Boom Pow''
Auto-Tuned Fergie + spacey will.i.am beats = just okay.

Pussycat Dolls ''Jai Ho''
Oscar-winning Slumdog song needs Doll parts? Jai no.
TRASH IT
