Weekly Top Ten: Kylie In, Salvatore Out
Some things aren’t meant to last, and it seems that Chris Salvatore‘s “Dirty Love” is one of them. Even though the song managed to take first place on last week’s 2010 Song of Summer countdown, it fell off faster than you can say “Kylie Minogue just […]
Aural Only: Sheryl Crow
What’s an easy way to slip in as a Song of Summer contender? Well, throwing the word “summer” into the title of your song probably can’t hurt. It worked for Kid Rock back in 2008 with “All Summer Long”, and this particular strategy might help […]

If you were upset that Robyn‘s “Dancing On My Own” didn’t take off on the Song of Summer charts, take comfort in the fact that the Swedish pop star will have a second chance. Yesterday, she unveiled the music video for her latest single “Hang […]

Aural Only: Christina Perri
Apparently people can get recording contracts after being featured on an episode of So You Think You Can Dance? At least that’s the story behind singer-songwriter Christina Perri and her breakout single “Jar of Hearts”. Two of the show’s contestants choreographed a dance for her […]
Weekly Top Ten: It’s A Tie!
Kylie Minogue and Lady Gaga have tied for the number one position on our Weekly Top Ten charts. And when it comes to our quest for 2010’s official “Song of Summer“, there can only be one winner. So who did we wind up picking for […]
Aural Only: Ellie Goulding
We’re totally digging Ellie Goulding‘s latest single “The Writer”, even if it doesn’t necessarily have “Song of Summer” written all over it. While it’s nowhere near as exciting or upbeat as her previous output, there’s something very refreshing about hearing her vocals on a toned-down pop […]
