Will we be heard?

February 27th, 2011

Many have come and many have gone. Many have tried, but few have been noticed.

Is 2011 the year when this shall change… when India shall get its calling? I most definitely think so.

 

We’ve had collaborations done before with international artists, but bollywood’s very own singing diva – Sunidhi Chauhan, and latino hearthrobe Enrique Iglesias crooning together? Wow, now that would be full of fireworks! We hear the two have collaborated on a new single, which shall be featured on Enrique’s album – Euphoria in a special Indian edition and is set to release this March.



Romance and Music? Hmmmm

I was at the Bryan Adams concert last night – and enjoyed every minute of it. But while i’d like to rant on about how amazing he was, this post is actually about… romantic music. And the reason I brought Bryan Adams up, is because i think he’s got some really really romantic hits – that should definitely be on your playlist if you’re trying to have a romantic dinner with your loved one.

My personal favourite is Lets Make A Night To Remember. Everything about the song is absolutely sexy – right from the lyrics, to his voice to the guitar – just everything. Guys – if this is your first valentine’s day with your girlfriend and you’re looking to score – just play this song.

Boybands have come and gone and have left behind a lot of romantic numbers that girls swoon over. But i know these are not the kind of songs ‘men’ want to be caught listening to. So here’s a list of 10 romantic songs that will definitely win your girl over – and both of you will enjoy listening to them!

 

(In random order)

Lets Make A Night To Remember by Bryan Adams

Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton

I don’t Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith

Your Song by Elton John

I’ve  Had The Time Of My Life – Dirty Dancing OST

Unchained Melody by Righteous Brothers

Something by The Beatles

Everything I Do by Bryan Adams

Your Body Is A Wonderland by John Mayer

Insatiable by Darren Hayes

 

Be sure to let me know if the list worked for you! ;) Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day folks!!

Hot 100 songs of 2010

January 24th, 2011

2010 has come to an end… and what’s an end without year-ending charts. Who made it to the top of this year’s billboard charts??

Kesha

Looks like Ke$ha has overshadowed everybody this year. Tik Tok is the hottest song of 2010. Along with that she is No. 1 in the following categories -

  • Top New Artists

  • Hot 100 Artists

  • Hot Digital Songs

  • Hot Digital Songs Artists

And finally… She is no. 2 at the European Hot 100 singles chart. Not bad at all eh!! Looks like Ke$ha has been our drug this gone year!

Here’s an interesting insight:

Both Ke$ha and Drake have 5 singles in the top US 100 chart.

Usher, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, The Black Eyed Peas and Lil Wayne have 4 singles each.

Surprisingly Shakira’s waka waka didn’t make it to the US charts… but it created a storm overseas. So it’s only fair she deserves a mention somewhere!

Enough of jabber now, here are the HOT 100 songs of 2010! Don’t forget to check out all the other charts on www.billboard.com!

No 1. Ke$ha – Tik Tok

No 2. Lady Antebellum – Need You Now

No 3. Train – Hey Soul Sister

No 4. Katy Perry Ft. Snoop Dogg – California Gurls

No 5. Usher Ft. will.i.am – OMG

No 6. B.o.B Ft Hayley Williams – Airplanes

No 7. Eminem Ft. Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie

No 8. Lady Gaga – Bad Romance

No 9. Taio Cruz – Dynamite

No 10. Taio Cruz Ft. Ludacris – Break Your Heart
