Jennifer Lopez Just Did It


CHART SPOTLIGHT. This January, WelcheMusic posed the question ‘Would RedOne be able to reinvigorate Jennifer Lopez career?’A strenuous way back to the charts have been crowned with no less than two hits from the new album. “On the Floor” became a global crossover hit, yet “I’m Into You” is still to catch on in the US. To date, the track has only reached No.72 while it has peaked at No.9 in the UK.

Released this April, “I’m Into You” features Lil Wayne on a track co-written by Taio Cruz, Wayne and StarGate. Expect more tracks to be lifted from the album, not least the RedOne track “Papi.” While recent coverage has focused on J.Lo’s honeymoon tape which has triggered a bidding war, we will keep a close eye on the singer’s upcoming musical ventures.
