Lady Gaga - "G.U.Y"
After lots of problems surrounding the release of her second single, "Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)", Lady Gaga has returned and confirmed the release of ARTPOP's 3rd official single. Fan favorite track, "G.U.Y" will be released on April 8th to mainstream radio and the music video will premiere tomorrow night as a part of NBC's new installment of Dateline at 8/7c. Fun fact about "G.U.Y"; it has already charted and fallen off the CDS Music Chart Top 50. During album release week, it debuted and peaked at #15 off a strong start. Now it has the upper hand. With lots of hype, a new video, voting all meshed together, the song will easily blast back into the top 50 by the end of the tracking period next Friday. To help up its ante, you can vote for it as your favorite newly released song at the end of this article. Every vote counts as 1 point on the chart. A song typically hits #1 with at least 90 overall points (points include votes below and how many times I play the song).
While "Pulses" isn't the official third single from their new album Pulses, Karmin debuted the track in full this week and it's not too shabby. Nick takes the chorus part of the song (something new from the duo), leaving Amy with only the rapping segments of the new track. The title track from the album is interesting, fun, exciting and much more rolled together. You can read my full review of the track as part of my "Pulses Album Review" post here.
Katy Tiz - "The Big Bang"
Katy Tiz is back with a new track. "The Big Bang" is a cover of a Rock Mafia song released in 2010 under the same name. While this version is a huge step up from the original, it's going to be really hard for this track to chart. Reasons? It's a cover, and it's a little too slow for my liking. Fortunately, the vocals are stellar and extremely outstanding. For those of you that tend to enjoy slower tracks, this is one I definitely recommend. She kind of sounds like Adele. Katy previously ruled the Summer of 2013 with "Red Cup" which topped the tally for a full month and became the #4 song of last year.
Justin Timberlake - "Not A Bad Thing"
Yes I guess you could call this cheating because this track has been in release (as a single) for about a month but it wasn't until just recently that it started to explode. The official music video for this track was just released a day ago (and although it will easily be trumped by the premiere of "G.U.Y"), the song has skyrocketed in popularity overnight (legit). It's a very romantic song that has a equally romantic video in which a group of documentary makers try to track down a man who proposed on a train in New York City/Long Beach area and blasted the track. Additionally, other New York couples were interviewed about what they thought about love and what it meant to them.
Now that I've shared my picks of the week, YOU can vote for your favorite track that is included in part 1 or 2. For a refresher, you can read part 1 here: http://cdschart.blogspot.com/2014/03/cds-picks-sia-calvin-harris-more.html
All votes count for points on the chart. Points count toward the song's position on the chart. You can vote up to 3 times. Spam won't count.
