Busta Rhymes ft. Linkin Park: 'We Made It' [NEW SINGLE!]
2008-04-30 23:18:00
Busta Rhymes is back with a new album and a brand new single titled 'We Made It,' which features Linkin Park doing the chorus to the single. It's an interesting mash-up but it's definitely a good song- so you should check it out. The single is likely to do well on the charts based on curiosity in the pairing- but not sure how well it will do in the long run, but we'll see. I think it won't do much on radio at all.

Coldplay: 'Violet Hill' [NEW SINGLE!]
2008-04-29 23:13:00
Coldplay have had major success with their past albums, and they are back with their new single 'Violet Hill ' and a brand new album- and this is likely to be a hit just like the single that preceded it. It's a great song and I think it has a shot to do well on the charts- especially the Billboard Hot 100 from sales over time. Download this track- it's a must have IMO- although it reminds me of another song. [LINK #1] Coldplay- 'Violet Hill' [LINK #2] Coldplay- 'Violet Hill'

Good Charlotte: 'Where Would We Be?' [NEW SINGLE!]
2008-04-28 22:31:00
Good Charlotte released their album 'Good Morning Revival' last spring and it has been met with a bit of opposition. The album has had one hit single 'Dancefloor Anthem', but other singles have failed to garner any interest and the album has dropped off the charts. Hopefully they can get another hit with their new single 'Where Would We Be?', being released to radio in May. Could another ballad get them a hit single-we'll see! Download the single below and see what you think! [LINK #1] Good Charlotte - 'Where Would We Be?' [LINK #2] Good Charlotte- 'Where Would We Be?'

Ashlee Simpson: 'Little Miss Obsessive' [Dave Audé Remix!]
2008-04-28 22:23:00
Ashlee Simpson 's second single 'Little Miss Obsessive' was getting a good start on radio, but has now started free-falling. The first two singles have been flops in the US, with a little better success in the UK. I'm not sure if they are going to bother releasing anymore singles in the US because of the massive disinterest, but Dave Audé has remixed the single, and it's not a bad remix- so check it out!

2008-04-27 04:15:00
Fergie is re-releasing her multi-platinum album 'The Dutchess' with 5 new songs, and one of them is 'Labels Or Love ' which is also the theme song of the new Sex & The City movie, as well as being on the soundtrack. It's the new single from the re-release and it's already being played on radio. This could be a massive hit for her- and hopefully she films a hot video for it- which she's talked about doing!

Kylie Minogue: 'All I See' [NEW VIDEO]
2008-04-17 23:42:00
Now before people go bashing this video- Kylie is extensively rehearsing for her major tour and didn't have time to shoot a major scale video for the single. It's not the best video, but a simple promo video like this with her looking beautiful is better than nothing, and hopefully she'll shoot a real video for the next single.

Alanis Morissette: 'Underneath' [NEW SINGLE!]
2008-04-17 23:33:00
Alanis Morissette is back with her new album 'Flavors of Entanglement' which is released in June, and the new single 'Underneath' has recently been released to iTunes. The song is great, and a lot better than anything she has released since Jagged Little Pill in my opinion- so definitely check the single out and see what you think! Hopefully this song gets her another hit on Pop Radio here in the US! [LINK #1] Alanis Morrissette- 'Underneath' [LINK #2] Alanis Morrissette- 'Underneath'

Madonna: 'Hard Candy' [30 Second Clips!]
2008-04-16 19:24:00
Madonna has come full circle with this album- it has a an 80's tinged style meshed with current sounds from Pharrel and Timbaland. She seems to have brought some of her 80's vocals back with the high pitched voice- and this album seems fresh, and original. Definitely a great album from Madonna. 'Devil' sounds like the best song on the album- and should definitely be a single along with 'Dance 2night'. [LINK #1] Madonna- 'Hard Candy ' [Preview!]

Mariah Carey- 'Bye Bye' [LIVE @ Oprah!]
2008-04-15 01:45:00
Apart from the lipped ending- the performance wasn't that bad- but Mariah definitely needs to get some vocal training and stop singing for a while- her voice is deteriorating fast- and I don't want her to end up like that. She needs vocal rest and vocal therapy- or get surgery or something to help with the problem. Also, you can buy the new single 'Bye Bye' on iTunes now!

Tokio Hotel: 'Ready, Set, Go!' [NEW SINGLE/VIDEO!]
2008-04-13 05:48:00
Tokio Hotel are releasing their new English language next month, and the first single 'Ready , Set, Go!' is all over MTV and music networks in the US. The song isn't catching onto radio just yet- but it's nice to see it featured on major cable networks. I saw the video on MTV one morning- and it got me into the group- their single is great, and I definitely want to check out their past material. [LINK #1] Tokio Hotel - 'Ready, Set, Go!'

Sara Bareilles- 'Bottle It Up' [NEW SINGLE!]
2008-04-13 04:49:00
Sara Bareilles went to #1 on Pop Radio with her debut single 'Love Song' after it exploded, and her next single 'Bottle It Up' was used in the iTunes commercial and other commercials will likely do the same thing. It's not as instant as 'Love Song' but it's a good song and will probably give her another hit from this album. The album isn't that bad- so I recommend it to anyone who cares to give a listen.

Chris Brown: 'Forever' [NEW SINGLE!]
2008-04-08 23:31:00
Chris Brown has had hits with his past two singles 'Kiss Kiss' and 'With You', but now is re-releasing his album in June with a new single 'Forever ', which seems to be more electro-pop than anything he has released before. I'm not sure if radio will be receptive towards it since it's different- but we'll see. It's a good song. Download the new single from the re-release below and see what you think!

Mariah Carey- 'Bye Bye' & 'That Chick' [HQ Webrips!]
2008-04-06 08:06:00
Mariah's new album E=MC² comes out in a little over a week- and two new tracks have leaked, being recorded from a few performances that she pre-recorded for T4's television show. 'That Chick ' should definitely be a single- it's kind of old school meets the sounds of today. It's mellow and just something I can picture on the radio over the spring or summer. 'Bye Bye' is a nice ballad that will for sure put her back at #1. She has great single choices and will be just as successful with this album!

2008-04-05 19:14:00
The-Dream are releasing their new single 'Livin' A Lie' featuring Rihanna , after the success of their last single 'Falsetto' on Urban and Rhythmic radio. Hopefully this song can catch on to the pop radio format and it should. Hopefully this doesn't turn into another good song that flops for no reason- just like 'Falsetto' didn't do well on pop radio.

The Dollyrots: 'My Best Friend's Hot' [NEW SINGLE!]
2008-04-05 06:36:00
The band The Dollyrots are releasing their new single 'My Best Friend's Hot' top CHR/POP radio, and the single is something you'd generally hear in the 90's- it's the kind of pop that Avril Lavigne has been doing with her recent album. It's a decent song- but not sure how it'll fair on mainstream pop radio. [LINK #1] The Dollyrots- 'My Best Friend's Hot' [LINK #2] The Dollyrots- 'My Best Friend's Hot'

Mariah Carey ft. T-Pain: 'Migrate' [RADIO RIP!]
2008-04-02 05:15:00
Mariah Carey is back with her new single 'Touch My Body', and while 'Bye Bye' may be the second single- the new song that was played on B96 'Migrate' is a hot song and should have been the second single- it would have been huge. She needs to quit trying to emulate her last albums single formula and just release this anyways. Download the radio rip below and see how you like the new song!

2008-04-02 03:24:00
Linkin Park have been very successful with their past few single releases on radio- and hopefully their last single from Minutes To Midnight titled 'Leave Out All The Rest ' will do just as well as the previous.

Boys Like Girls have had hits with their past two singles 'The Great Escape' and 'Hero/Heroine'- and I'm sure their third single 'Thunder ' will be one as well. It's a great song- but why haven't they released 'Five Minutes To Midnight' yet? That song would be bigger than anything they've released before- it better get released!

Christina Aguilera: 'Here To Stay' [Pepsi Remix!]
2008-03-29 05:17:00
Christina Aguilera did a Pepsi commercial before her last album Back To Basics came out, and the remix used in the song has been a fan favorite among the Christina fans. The remix never leaked in full- except for a clip and a fanmade remix. The official remix was put up on the producers myspace page, and was ripped. This is definitely better than the album version, and should have been released as a last single or something. Download it below and see what you think about it.
