Cheryl Cole’s “Promise This” Hits the Dancefloor with Remixes

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Spotify UK offers no less than nine remixes of Cheryl Cole’s latest hit single “Promise This.” Released on Oct.25, the track has already managed to top the UK singles chart. It sold 157,000 copies in its first week, which is the biggest selling record for a non-charity single.

Digital Dog, Almighty and Jorg Schmid are among the producers who remixed the “Promise This.”  The Jorg Schmid remix is available on the Clubland 18 compilation album.

“Promise This” is written by the singer Priscilla Renea Hamilton who failed to garner any success with her own album Jukebox from December 2009.Producer Wayne Wilkins has previously worked on tracks with Keri Hilson, Leona Lewis, Beyoncé and Jordin Sparks.

“Parachute” was the final track to be issued off the 3 Words album. The song reached No.5 in the UK, peaking at No.2 in Poland and topped the Romanian chart tally this March. Cole also made the headlines the other week as she and X-Factor colleague Dannii Minogue snubbed Jamiroquai singer Jay K following a foul-mouthed rant before the group performed on the show. Let’s see if Cheryl Cole returns to Skavlan to promote her new album.

WelcheMusic update: “Promise This” never charted in Sweden as it was only released as a promo single back in October. It reached No.19 on the Belgium singles chart.

Countdown to Sing in the Shower Day

Okay, WelcheMusic have to admit – we like singing in the shower. So, we were delighted to hear that we’re not alone and there’s even a day devoted for this and it’s happening tomorrow.

The day was actually founded to support the launch of JBL’s new two-in-one alarm clock and docking station OnTime Micro.  The JBL OnTime Micro Shower Singing Survey found that 82% of 18-24 years olds sing in the shower, but it’s not just for youngsters – almost half (49%) of people aged 55+ do it too. Whatever your age, let your voice ring loud this Thursday!

The JBL Shower Singing Survey named Shakira as the singer that most people would like to perform a shower duet with. You know, her taps don’t lie…

France is the top shower singing country in Europe, with 71% of our French survey respondents enjoying a “chantez dans la douche.”

WelcheMusic’s current shower favourites:

  • Lady Gaga feat. Beyoncé – Telephone
  • Cheryl Cole – Fight for This Love
  • Eric Saade – Manboy
