The Veronicas' next UK single is one of the 200 greatest pop songs of all time

  • June 12, 2009
  • Popjustice

Here's a bit of a surprise: in September, over four years since it was ori­gin­ally released in Australia, The Veronicas' incred­ible single '4Ever' will be released in the UK. 

The song — a Max Martin epic from the same TXTspeak-friendly genepool as 'U + Ur Hand' and 'Since U Been Gone' — has been bundled onto the end of the UK edition of the band's new album 'Hook Me Up' (which itself is two years old). On the artwork the song appears with two † symbols next to it. That's because this song is TWICE AS GOOD AS JESUS. 

Here is the original video for the song.

How good is this song? So good that it survives even THIS treatment from The Vines.

Can you imagine a world where The Vines actually wrote songs that good? IMAGINE IT JUST FOR A SECOND. Incredible.
