Spotify Pushes Hot New Remixes of Seal

Seal released his seventh studio album Commitment back in September 2010. The set was produced by legendary producer David Foster. Throughout the years, Foster has discovered artists such as Céline Dion, Josh Groban and Michael Bublé.

Spotify currently pushes new Jimster remixes of “Weight of My Mistakes” and “Here I Am (Come and Take Me).” The former is included on the set and released as a single back in November 2010. The single failed to make any impact on the charts, while the first single “Secret” did manage to peak at No.82.

Commitment did, however, chart and peaked at No.11 on the UK albums chart and No.31 on the Billboard 200.

Seal got his breakthrough in 1990 with “Crazy,” which topped charts across the world. While peaking at No.2 in the UK, it topped tallies in Sweden, Holland and Switzerland. While originally appearing as the singer of Adamski’s “Killer” (a UK No.1 hit in ’90), Seal re-recorded the track and manage to chart again in 1991.

The soul/pop singer has issued close to 30 singles throughout the years, most notably the WelcheMusic favourite “Kiss from a Rose” which had two chart runs. It was released as a single in 1994, then remixed for the Batman Forever soundtrack. In the UK, the track first peaked at No.20 only to return to the charts a year later as a chart topper.

X-Factor Joe McElderry Goes Norwegian

Cee Lo Green’s “F**k You” tops the chart again this Sunday as Radio 1 counts down the official UK singles tally. He is trailed by Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” the former No.1 which moves 4-2 this week. The highest new entry samples “Gotta Go Home” – Boney M’s 1979 hit. Titled “Barbra Streisand,” the novelty act Duck Sauce gets its breakthrough hit. Duck Sauce consists of DJ’s Armand van Helden and A-Trak. The American DJ Van Helden is nothing short of a giant on the dance scene, his biggest commercial hit to date is “U Don’t Even Know Me” from 1999. Swedish DJ collective Swedish House Mafia manages to climb 5-4 with “Miami 2 Ibiza,” surpassing Tinie Tempah’s “Written in the Stars” which falls 3-5. This means that Tempah holds both the No.4 and 5 positions as he’s featured on “Ibiza.”

It has taken Joe McElderry a good ten months to follow-up “The Climb,” a UK No.1 from January this year. He returns to the chart with a track originally released by the Norwegian pop group Donkeyboy. He bows at No.6 with his cover version, mind you that his debut hit was a Miley Cyrus cover. The track bows at No.4 on the Irish chart.

Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow takes  a 2-7 drop with “Shame,” while Mike Posner’s “Cooler than Me” breaks into the top ten, leapfrogging 22-9. Usher & Pitbull returns to the top ten as well with “DJ Got Us Falling in Love.” Despite being most played song on UK radio before being released as a single, Michael Bublé bows at No.17. Robbie Williams vaults into the pole position on the album chart with In and Out of Consciousness: Greatest Hits 1990-2010, knocking Tinie Tempah’s Disc-Overy from the top spot. He lands at No.2, just ahead of Cliff Richard who is back with Bold as Brass, featuring classical standards.

Lady Gaga remains at No.3 with “Bad Romance” adding her ninth week on the UK singles chart. She’s trailed by Cheryl Cole who’s back with a follow-up to this fall’s No.1 “Fight for this Love.” Her new single features will.i.am on vocals and is titled “3 Words.” The Black Eyed Peas rise 10-6 with “Meet Me Halfway.” The highest new entry comes from Jay-Z who’s teamed up with Mr. Hudson on the Alphaville rendition “Young Forever.” Similar to recent success by T.I. and Flo Rida, the track is based on a well-known hit, this time “Forever Young.”

Michael Bublé’s Crazy Love denies Susan Boyle another week atop of the album chart. Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream is still the Billboard 200 album No.1. Lady Gaga remains at No.4 with The Fame, a set that almost celebrates its first anniversary on the chart. The follow-up, The Fame Monster, has already fallen out of the top 40.
