The Wanted unveils Walks Like Rihanna

The Wanted have premiered summer smash in waiting Walks Like Rihanna. The Brit lads will release the new track on June 23rd.
Produced by hitmaker of the moment Dr Luke, it's insanely catchy chorus includes the lines " She cant sing /She cant dance /But who cares /She walks like Rihanna "

The song looks set to repeat the huge success of 2011 signature tune Glad You Came. Their 3rd album will follow later this year. The follow up to 2011's Battleground , it will also include the smash hit singles Chasing The Sun and I Found You.

The Wanted may have had to live in the shadows of JLS and One Direction , but the five piece are arguably an extremely more appealing and edgier pop proposition with a stronger canon of singles. Their rivalry with One Direction flared up again on Twitter recently with tom Parker trading verbal barbs with Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne. Whereas One Direction may have the most insane hardcore fanbase and global success, its all been calculated and without any trace of artistic merit.
If anything , The Wanted have produced far stronger material than One Directions saccharine tween bile. Add in the fact The Wanted have seemingly worked harder for their success.

Expect The wanted to land their 3rd UK Number 1 come July. Listen to Walks Like Rihanna

Vince Kidd hits The Zoo

Vince Kidd was undoubtedly my favourite act on the first series of The Voice last year. Kidd has a voice like Prince , is dripping in swag , and a brash sexiness that was demonstrated brilliantly on last years Sick Love. Kidd is one to watch this year. A unique style all his own , he's a talent that has'nt been seen on the UK pop charts for a long time and deserves massive mainstream success. Sexy music with a hint of grit , glamma , personality and ballsiness that is intoxicating. In short , Vince Kidd is the real deal.

Now he's unveiled The Zoo , his new track from his forthcoming EP , featuring The Saturdays Vanessa White , a close friend of Vince.
The video and track like it's predecessor , the brilliant Sick Love is fresh , fierce , ferocious , sexy and has a great vocal cameo from Vanessa.
Safe to say I'm pretty excited for Vince's forthcoming EP , out on June 2nd. Buy it.

This Kidd is most certainly alright!!

Calvin smashes Jacko chart record

Calvin Harris has smashed a chart record held by Michael Jackson , by becoming the FIRST ever artist to score EIGHT UK Top 10 hits from the same album. His current album 18 Months , has spawned the eight songs that have produced the stunning feat.
His latest collaboration with Ellie Goulding I Need Your Love , entered the Top 10 at Number 7 yesterday to break Michael Jackson's longstanding record.

The King of Pop , had previously scored an impressive seven Top 10 hits from his 1987 classic Bad. The Scottish DJ and producer begun his run of eight top 10;s back in June 2011 with Kelis assisted Bounce hitting Number 2. This was followed up by the massive transatlantic smash Feels So Close , also hitting Number 2. Then came the globe conquering We Found Love with Bajan superstar Rihanna.

Last year saw the hits keep clocking up. Let's Go with R&B king Ne-Yo and his collaboration with fellow Brit Example on We'll Be Coming Back both hit Number 2.

The subliime Sweet Nothing with Florence Welch hit Number 1 , before Tinie Tempah hook up Drinking From The Bottle hit Number 5 in January.

It's a monumental achievement for the Dumfries hitmaker. 18 Months seems to serve more now as calvin Harris Greatest Hits album.
Harris' first Top10 came in 2007 with the brilliant Acceptable In The 80's. Since then , Calvin has chalked up  4 UK Number 1's and an astonishing 13 Top 10 hits.
