Most blogs started their "hotly-tipped for '10" lists back in like, 2008, but ScopiSat prefers to bide our time and see who actually makes it down the record label pipe. Turns out, back in 2008 a lot of people were right, and Mary N'diaye is gearing up to be quite huge. Let's look at the evidence:
The Evidence:
1. She is working with Akon
2. She is AMAZING
The end.
Yes, it is looking very good for her isn't it.
Here is "Take Me Home," which is an absolutely brilliant piece of pop.
Mary's cover "Oh, Pretty Woman" is out on iTunes in both the US and in Europe/UK, and is a must-download. No really. Do it now.

One Republic have 'All The Right Moves' in new video - watch now
Ryan Tedder and his band One Republic are back with a song that sounds....like every other Ryan Tedder track. That's not a bad thing, of course, as he's penned such masterpieces as 'Apologize' and Leona Lewis' 'Bleeding Love.' We're totally loving the subtle updates on the formula though - the more organic guitar and drum sounds, particularly. The video we could take or leave...it's a bit 90's throwback (Annie Lennox 'No More I Love Yous,' anyone?) but the whole thing ends up a solid 7/10.
The song is out January 11, from One Republic's forthcoming new album

Happy New Year from ScopiSat and Kylie
2009 comes to an end in mere hours, and since we celebrated Christmas with some Kylie it seems only appropriate to do so for the new year as well. Here's Kylie singing 'I Should Be So Lucky' on Jools Holland for New Years a couple years back. Here's to a great 2010!

Billboard's Top 25 of '09 in under 5 minutes
So '09 is drawing to a close, and the next chart will be officially dated "2010," so we now know with absolution what the top 25 tracks of the year were. And what does one do with such powerful knowledge? Jam them all into a five-minute megamix, of course.
DJ Earworm is at it again - see if you can name all the songs.
Literally Amazing.

Paloma Faith wonders if "You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful" - watch the video now
While Amy Winehouse is "otherwise engaged," somebody has to pick up the MOR-retro-throwback banner. That somebody is Paloma Faith. Your grandma will love it, your kids won't hate it, and after it's over the world will be exactly the same.
Still, pretty video though.
The single is out now with an album in February, and a U.S. launch sometime in 2010.

Chart Chat UK: December 27, 2009
Something quite interesting happened this week. The battle for Christmas number one is over, with a result that until a few weeks ago would have been unthinkable. Rage Against the Machine managed to beat the yearly X-Factor winner's single to the top spot for the crucial Christmas chart, leaving the reality talent show champ languishing in number 2. But X-Factor winner Joe Mcelderry this week is redeemed, edging up to the pole position and saving himself the embarrassment of being the only X-Factor winner ever to not top the charts. In the end, everybody wins - the anti-establishment crusaders got their Christmas chart victory, and the X-Factor machine keeps on trucking.
Lady Gaga holds down the fort at 3, while Cheryl Cole racks up her second straight solo top 5 with "3 Words," her brilliant Will.i.am collaboration.
The rest of the chart suffers from the post-holiday blues, with no new material put out until the new year. In fact, the only new entry that isn't a Christmas tune is Jay-Z featuring Mr. Hudson with "Young Forever" all the way down at 30.
Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday and a happy new year to you all!
The UK Top Ten:
1 - The Climb: Joe Mcelderry
2 - Killing In The Name: Rage Against The Machine
3 - Bad Romance: Lady Gaga
4 - 3 Words: Cheryl Cole ft Will.i.am
5 - Starstrukk: 3Oh!3 ft Katy Perry
6 - Meet Me Halfway: Black Eyed Peas
7 - Don't Stop Believin': Journey
8 - Russian Roulette: Rihanna
9 - You Know Me: Robbie Williams
10- Tik Tok: Kesha
