The Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

It won’t come as a surprise that WelcheMusic loves charts. This time we’ve dug into music magazine’s Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All. As this site is mainly devoted to current chart trends, it’s quite refreshing to see the lack of new music in the top regions. Bob Dylan wins the race with “Like a Rolling Stone,” ahead of The Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” and John Lennon’s “Imagine.” No Miley Cyrus, no Black Eyed Peas, not even Mariah Carey? We’ve included the top three videos below. The rest of the chart can be read here.

“Real Housewives” Countess Wants Producer Akon to Launch Her Singing Career

As reported by E! Online, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps is reported to have written and recorded the track “Money Can’t Buy Class,” inspired by her memoir/etiquette book Class with the Countess. She has Akon in mind, when naming what producer she’d like to work with. Why, one might wonder? Think etiquette, then “Sexy Bitch.” No, the countess might want to rethink – and Akon’s probably has his mind up. Read the rest of the story here.

Don’t Hassle with Erik

So there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the reception of Swedish singer Erik Hassle in the UK. Some say that the positive reviews have been overrated, stating that the Guardian did not offically hail him (it was a freelancer who did). Who cares? The guy is fantastic and “Hurtful” must be one of the best pop tracks last century. Well, get this – the track has made its way onto BBC Radio 1’s rotation, which means it will get regular spins. The best of luck!

“Hurtful” will be issued in the UK in the beginning of February, and it’s the Starsmith edit that has been added to the playlist.
