New Omarion (Ft. Lil' Wayne)

This song is getting rave reviews around the forums and music blogs. The beat is produced by Timbaland. With Chris Brown maybe out the picture, there could be room for Omarion to take over.

Kelly Clarkson came into the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge , yesterday and performed her new single My Life Would Suck Without You and Since You Been Gone.

New Enrique

Here is the HQ version of Enrique Iglesias' latest single Takin' Back My Love, feturing Sarah Connor! Personally I think the Ciara version blows this one out of the water.

Lily Allen's 2nd Single Is..

Not Fair [Listen Here]

Lily Allen confirmed this on her twitter feed. She shot the video on February 20th in LA and the video is set to have country feel to it, to match the vibe of the record.

Kelly Clarkson #1 On UK Midweeks

My Life Would Suck Without You is already #1 on the UK Midweek chart ahead of Taylor Swift's Love Story which is #2, if this stays the same way until Sunday which is very likely then Kelly will get her first #1 hit there. Lily has fallen to #6 on iTunes meaning she could struggle to stay in the top five by Sunday.

Can't believe how different this era is to when she released My December. Just goes to show that artistic license doesn't necessarily mean you will do well on the carts. Incidently, I read recently that Kelly was offered $10,000,000 to swap up five tracks from My December for more radio friendly ones, and turned it down! No one's Can't deny that she believed in the project, but I much prefer the material from All I Ever Wanted. So do the fans it seems!

New T-Pain (Ft. Kanye West)

Here is a new tagged song from T-Pain called Flight School and it features Kanye West. It'snot a bad cut, very generic T-Pain stuff though.Worth a listen if you are a fan.

The Pussycat Dolls 'Jai Ho' iTunes Rip

The HQ of Jai Ho has finally leaked onto the internet. It looks like they are filming a video for it judging by this picture, I think this song could go huge after the huge Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire. I am a huge fan of this track, I think it really suits Nicole's voice. A bit odd how it says The Pussycat Dolls (Feat. Nicole Scherzinger) though?

As I reported earlier, the track is called Boom Boom Pow and it looks like Wil.I.Am is the one who has put it up on the internet. HQ stream below, I will put up download as soon as it becomes available. All I can say is it sounds fierce, it's a real step forward from their last album.

New Ciara Single

Ciara's next single, Love and Sex and Magic has leaked onto the internet in the last 12 hours. Unfortunately for her the song is quite weak. I think he label have completely misjudged this album, she needs a 1,2 Step-esque single to really ensure massive first week sales. This sounds very average, with typical timberland beats and Justin's vocals don't really add much.

We call it, like, electric static funk, something like that."

The Fray Cover Kanye's 'Heartless'

Not the type of song you would expect The Fray to cover, but one that works nonetheless. His grainy voice adds a great twist to it.

Sorry guys, there's still not much going on in the world of music, and I refuse to lower the quality of this blog with lots of meaningless posts just for the sake of it!

T.I. 'Dead And Gone' Video


The video for T.I.'s latest single, the Justin Timberlake assisted 'Dead and Gone', premiered within the last hour. While the clip does a good job of driving home the song's message, it was one boring video if there ever was one. Decent song, yet a sleep-inducing video. That said, I guess it serves its purpose.

New Girls Aloud Album In 2010

There have been various stories in the newspapers this week - and it's true that the girls will be doing various bits outside of Girls Aloud this year. However, it has been confirmed that there will be a brand new Girls aloud album next year - and that they girls have just signed a new deal with Polydor / Fascination for minimum of three more albums!

Alexandra Burke has reportedly signed a US record deal with Epic worth £3 million.The X Factor winner was picked up by the label for a five-album contract as a result of the success of her 'Hallelujah' single, The Sun reports.

An industry insider said: "Epic think Alexandra can follow in Leona's footsteps."The US market loves women with big voices - and Alex certainly has that. If she comes close to Leona's success it will be a job well done."

The song managed to peak to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play, but never went anywhere from there. If you don't have lindsay's version, get it now.

New Chris Brown

Many people are becoming very hostile to Chris Brown on the forums, and whilst I can see why you may be in disgust, it doesn't mean his music is any less amazing. Therefore I am not going to stop posting his music as a result of his recent arrest. Here is a new song to have leaked in HQ called Takes Time To Love.


Apparantly, the latest is that Rihanna has cancelled her 21st birthday party as a result of the goings on.

This is a medley of tracks from The Fame. Gaga has added some new spoken word moments and intros. This promo CD will be given out at release parties.

Chartstuff Update

I apologize for the lack of updates over the past few days. There are two reasons, firstly the music scene is dead at the moment; not much is leaking, and I thought I would spare you countless remixes or up to the minute updates on the Rihanna/Chris Brown fiasco. Secondly, I have been on vacation, but I'm back now so expect more posts in the coming week and beyond :D Thanks for coming!
