Ok, so we didn't countdown all 45 (which we revealed here, yesterday, complete with a Spotify playlist), as that would take forever-and-ever, instead we counted down the top 25 via our music forum, as well as DiS' Facebook, Twitter and DrownedinSoundcloud Tumblr blog. And without furtherado, here's what we named number one... »

THIS IS THE NEWS. Or it was the news, being a compilation of some of the most noteworthy stories of the first quarter of the year and the first...umm... 0.3333333 2.5 per cent of the decade (GCSE Maths, Grade B), if you want to get decimal about it all. Unfortunately, so far this year some of the biggest stories have also been the saddest, with three of music's brightest stars being lost to us forever, save through their music. »
Late last month we reported that US act Gang Gang Dance asked Florence + The Machine for royalties, due to the absolutely ridiculous similarities between the GGD song 'House Jam' and Flo's 'Rabbit Heart'.

Well, now GGD are trying to claim royalties from the track, claiming that the similarities are too striking (via Pitchfork).»
