Jesse McCartney has 'Body Language' in new video

That is all.

Update: never mind, it's quite good

Update 2: no we were right the first time

Update 3: We are listening to 'Leavin' right now. It is very good.

The Editors' new video runs wild

We chose that headline because there is a lot of 'running' in the video. In all honesty not a lot of thought went into it but we got a late start so don't judge. The song is pretty much a pop/electro masterpiece though, and definitely deserves a listen or three. Gone are the gloomy moody guitars, replaced now with synths and driving beats. It's sure to alienate some of their fan base, which is a shame because there are SO FEW moody guitar bands to choose from out there :(




No date for the single yet, but the album is out Oct 12

The JLS video is all hot boys dancing to music

No complaints there then.



Shame about the song. And by 'shame' we mean it's actually a little brilliant but no one can EVER KNOW we think that.

Sliimy has a 'Wake Up' call in new video

While ScopiSat is loathe to promote anything touched or fondled by Perez Hilton, whoever he put in charge of his burgeoning record label is doing an alright job. For example, here's the debut American video by Sliimy, who was signed to Hilton's label not too long ago. It's quite fun don't you think? Fun because there are colors and shapes and a person who would be Mika if Mika were French, but also because because there is a nice tune playing while all that goes on.



Out now on Warner/Perezcious Records

Jade Ewen has a single out

In case you haven't heard, Jade Ewen has some things going on... among them is her new (and likely last...until she gets chucked out like all the other Sugababes) solo single. It's a kind of middling almost-Mariah-but-not-even-close-really affair and the video is all kinds of R&B/pop cliche. Hot guy? Check. Hot girl? Check. Stuffed cougar for no reason? Check.



Out today

The Sugababes lineup changes but as long as About a Girl comes out we'll be fine

Really girls, this is getting a bit ridiculous. Now that Keisha's out (leaving Amelle, Heidi and new member Jade Ewen), there isn't a single original member left. We, for one, can't imagine not feeling cheated in the future by anything released by the 'Sugababes.' It's a bit like if Armani sold the brand name to Wal-Mart or Asda or something and expected us to think nothing really changed, when in reality the new clothes are all poly-blend and the sizes run very, very big.

Just put this out and be done with it.

Alexandra Burke's 'Bad Boys' video has dancing and cars and singing

...and it is very good. Who knew she could dance?



Out October 9th on Syco

Chart Chat UK: September 20, 2009

This week there's lots of action on the chart, as we have a new number 1, a missed opportunity, and an up-and-comer. First up is Taio Cruz with his new single 'Break Your Heart.' Taio is a busy man - he's reportedly working with Kylie and Leona and everyone else under the sun - but even with all that going on he has managed to bag his first chart topper. Not so lucky is our number 3 entry. Madonna's had a lot more luck over in the UK than she has in her home country, where she releases singles more as concert promotions rather than to become hits in their own right. In the UK, however, she has been enjoying some the biggest hits of her career. In the past eleven years every one of her album's lead singles have hit the top, save 'American Life' (which hit number 2 in 2003). All that means that 'Celebration' becomes her lowest-charting lead single since 'Evita's' 'You Must Love Me.' Number 3 is nothing to sniff at, especially for an artist that has been going at it for as long as she, but one can't help but feel this track just isn't resonating with listeners as well as hoped. Number 5 finds quite the opposite situation, as Shakira racks up her sixth top ten. Leaping twenty places this week, 'She Wolf' is a solid bet to become her second chart topper after its full physical release this coming week. Pixie Lott tumbles all the way down to 6 from 1, but she shouldn't be too upset with this result. What's really going on is everyone stopped buying the single and started buying the album, which bows at 6 on the album chart this week. ScopiSat faves Mini Viva hang in there at 9, and Sugababes manage another week in the top ten despite my predictions of a swift demise. With all the rumors of a lineup change, perhaps the single got a sales bump from the idea this may be the last chance to buy a 'Babes track in this incarnation. The rest of the chart is pretty quiet, save an honorable mention for Little Boots, whose 'Remedy' maintains a slow descent at 13, and the appearance of what will surely be a huge hit for Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. 'Empire State of Mind' debuts at 15 this week solely off the back of the duo's US MTV Video Music Awards performance, giving Jay-Z two hits in the top 20 this week. With a full single campaign in the works, it would be very very foolish to expect anything less than chart greatness from this track.

The UK Top Ten:
1 - Taio Cruz: Break Your Heart
2 - David Guetta ft Akon: Sexy Chick
3 - Madonna: Celebration
4 - Jay-Z ft Rihanna & Kanye West: Run This Town
5 - Shakira: She Wolf
6 - Pixie Lott: Boys & Girls
7 - Black Eyed Peas: I Gotta Feeling
8 - Dizzee Rascal: Holiday
9 - Mini Viva: Left My Heart in Tokyo
10- Sugababes: Get Sexy
