Ahoy, Internet
new week, new luck, new entry. Idk what to say. I’m just happy to be on time, actually. Yes, my busy life keeps me… busy. But now it’s all about music.

Noteworthy:
> Ke$ha : since I saw the “C’Mon” video I’m kinda interested in her newer songs again. And thus, “Warrior” was played.
> Sarah Brightman : new album alert. But apart from “Dreamchaser” I also revisited “Eden”, which is a very nice album.
> One Direction : no, not that British boygroup. It was about that other band.
> VOTA : at first I thought “ooh, catchy tunes”, but then I realized that it’s about Christianity. :/
> Trackshittaz : silly party tracks from Austria? Well, why not. It’s quite fun (and explicit).
Stats!
Most played artists:
> Sugababes : I revisited “Three” - one of the bigger Sugababes releases. I guess it was around that time when I really liked the group.
> Puhdys : one of the underrated German bands that I am happy to have in my playlist - thanks to a friend who recommended their music to me some years ago.
> mr.tinoforever : yes, finest indielectro tunes were on my playlist as well.
Most played tracks:
> Hafenlied : this is one of the melancholic Puhdys songs.
> Forever Dead : you can’t imagine how much this track grew on me. These days I really love it.
News?
> Alicia Keys announced her “Set The World On Fire” Tour (via YouTube) starting in March.
> Monarchy’s new video “Disintegration” features Dita Von Teese in artsy visuals that could be in a glossy magazine. Oh, and yes, she also provides some vocals. (Not that it would matter.) ^^
> Hurts will soon release their second album “Exile” - the first single “Miracle” is already out.
> Another new album to be released soon is Alizée’s “5”.
> I never heard of Jana Kramer, but her new song “Whiskey” is a fine catchy country tune. Also the video is worth watching, because she quite beautiful.
> Nicole Scherzinger is still not done with her solo career - a new single called “Boomerang” is about to get airplay.
> Next Rihanna single: “Pour It Up” or “Stay” (featuring Mikky Ekko)
> The new season of American Idol (#12) has started - and it won’t be long until the first live show with the new judge panel.
> Keri Hilson is back in the studio recording a new album.
> Kate Nash’s next album will be “Girl Talk”.
> Kelly Rowland is also planning ahead. New single: “Kisses Down Low”.
> Paramore’s new album will have 17 tracks and it comes out in April.
> Someone is channeling Madonna and Nicki Minaj - her name is Kwanza Jones. And her video “Supercharged” (or “SUPERCHARGED”) is just ridiculously entertaining. T&A factor : check. Autotune vocals : check. Male dancers in stripper outfits : check. Colorful hair styles : check. And if you’re wondering what her attitude is - her bandcamp page says “I’m a gladiator in a thong” :D
A look at the German charts
it’s official. will.i.am did it. (Thanks to Britney maybe?)
wow, this marks the highest place for The Script so far. I’m happy that they now get known/famous here. (Idc that it might be related to a stupid German RomCom film) :D
Troublemaker (feat. Flo Rida) : tbh I still find this song a bit annoying, knowing that Olly Murs can do it better (regarding his second album).
Hurt Lovers : and another success based on film promotion. But it’s a nice track, actually.
Sonnentanz : I’m sure we’ve had this song before. Anyway… maybe it’s because of the winter weather that this instrumental track gets in the top ten again.
