CHART SPOTLIGHT. The new hit single “Coconut Tree” leapfrogs the Swedish singles tally moving 44-10 in its second week. Performed by Swedish-Congolese R&B singer-songwriter Mohombi, the track features Nicole Scherzinger on guest vocals.

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Like no other, RedOne revisits Far East Movement’s “Like a G6.” WelcheMusic first covered the Los Angeles based quartet back in October last year, when the track initially charted on the Hot 100.  The RedOne remix features Swedish-Congolese r’n’b singer Mohombi on guest vocals.

Can Lady Gaga’s Producer Revive Jennifer Lopez

The Swedish producer RedOne will help Jennifer Lopez with new material. She’s in dire need as WelcheMusic pointed out in the earlier blogpost “Will Jennifer Lopez Return to Her Former Glory?” RedOne has produced a majority of Lady Gaga’s hits, including “Just Dance” and “Bad Romance.” According to Expressen, “[Jennifer’s] very positive and content. She knows what she wants.” Jennifer Lopez is currently one of the judges on American Idol. RedOne is launching Swedish Mohombi in the States. His “Bumby Ride” has become a pan-European hit and will promoted in the US.

So far, Jennifer Lopez has produced seven studio albums. The last single was “Louboutins” in 2009, which peaked at No.1 on the US dance chart. The singer debuted in 1999 with “If You Had My Love” – a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, which peaked at No.4 in the UK.
