WelcheMusic “Beat” Radio1

We’re the first to admit that WelcheMusic’s inspiration partly comes from what’s being picked up around the world. Buzz on Billboard, Radio 1’s playlists and so on. Having said that, it’s totally in line with this site’s focus when three of this week’s additions to the Radio 1 playlist already have been featured on our compilations. These are Timbaland feat. Katy Perry’s “If We Ever Meet Again,” Muse’s “Resistance” and Jay Sean’s “Do You Remember.” And as mentioned earlier, Erik Hassle made the cut with “Hurtful.” Download vol.1 here and vol.2 here.

Ke$ha Set to Overtake the Throne from Susan Boyle

According to Billboard, Ke$ha is overtake the throne from Susan Boyle on the Billboard 200 album chart. We will know for sure tomorrow (13/1), but it seems as if Ke$ha’s debut set Animal will overthrone Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream. The album was the biggest selling one in the UK last year, and the No.2 album in the States. “TiK ToK” has been a massive worldwide hit and is set to be followed by “Blah Blah Blah,” which features alternative rock act 3OH!3. That track is included on the WelcheMusic vol.2 compilation which is out now. What might come as a suprise is that Ke$ha is credited as backing vocalist on Paris Hilton’s “Nothing in this World,” a track that only made the top ten in…Finland.

Basshunter UK Adventures Revealed

If you want to read the latest gossip about Basshunter’s Celebrity Big Brother stay, please read The Sun. We will focus on his musical career. I mean, eight UK hits since 2006 is nothing to sneeze at – even though his latest one, “I Promised Myself,” peaked at a rather low No.94. “Now You’re Gone” is by far his biggest, spending five weeks atop of the UK singles chart in January 2008. The YouTube video has been viewed more than 76m times! The hit was followed by the No.2 hit “All I Ever Wanted.” For those not familiar with the background, “Now You’re Gone” was originally called “Boten Anna,” a giant hit not only in Sweden but in Holland as well. It was the first ever (and only!?) Swedish languaged song to reach the top of the Dutch Top 40.

The Gym Is Calling

It’s the time of the year, when everybody hits off to the gym. What is a better way of getting inspiration than watch Eric Prydz’ video to “Call on Me.” The single held a rather unusal record, for a long while it the lowest-selling No.1 single ever in the UK. One of the reasons was that the digital download wasn’t an eligible format in the chart. A little more flattering is that the original artist, Steve Winwood, re-recorded the vocals to “Call on Me” which was originally featured in his own hit “Valerie.” The track was a hit in 1982, but not as near as big as Eric Prydz’ hit.
