Download vol.3 of the WelcheMusic Compilation Playlist

It’s time for WelcheMusic vol.3 fresh from the oven. Ke$ha storms the charts with the new album and we think that “Take It Off” is a contender for an upcoming single release. Owl City storms the UK singles chart this week with “Fireflies.” Let’s hope that the follow-up single “Vanilla Twilight” can repeat the success. Also included, current hits from Sidney Samson and the Glee Cast’s version of “Don’t Stop Believin’.” True to form, we’ve added bonus tracks. Jay-Z recorded “History” for the More than a Game soundtrack.

Take a bow for DJ Earworm. Not only has he created the greatest mashup video of 2009’s hits, he also was hailed by Billboard. Built on the Top 25 hits of Billboard last year, more than 1m has already viewed the hit online.

Will Beyoncé Return Soon?

Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins was the hottest producer awhile back when hits such as Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay,” Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” and Brandy & Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine” ruled the charts. Now he’s reportedly in the studio with Beyoncé, working on new material which is scheduled to be released sometime later this year. Released in October 2008, her I Am…Sasha Fierce album spawned eight hit singles. Some were only released in certain territories. “Broken-Hearted Girl” was never officially issued in the US, but charted anyways due to strong downloads. Rodney Jerkins co-wrote and produced the upcoming Lady Gaga single “Telephone,” where Beyoncé sings guest vocals.

Duffy to Return in 2010

Welsh pop singer Duffy is recording new material. She was born Aimée Ann Duffy and reign from Wales. Her 2008 debut album Rockferry has sold 6m worldwide and spawned hit singles such as “Mercy” and “Warwick Avenue.” A new album is slated for release later this year and the singer has worked with Drummer Questlove, one of The Root’s members. He has previously written tracks for Christina Aguilera and N*E*R*D. Duffy won three Brit Awards last year including British Female, British Breakthrough and British Album. While “Mercy” became the great breakthrough for Duffy, it was actually the title track “Rockferry” that was released first. Co-written by Suede’s Bernard Butler, “Rockferry” peaked at No.45 in the UK in November 2007. The track also reached the Swiss Top 40 upon its release.
