New Video: Wynter Gordon ‘Dirty Talk’

Big Beat/Atlantic - Wynter Gordon 'Dirty Talk'

Wynter Gordon’s single ‘Dirty Talk’ has hit #1 on Billboard’s “Dance Club Play Songs” chart and the singer has just released the official music video.

Although she may seem like a newcomer to the business, Wynter Gordon is without doubt one of the most in-demand songwriters of the last five years. A graduate of New York’s world famous LaGuardia High School For The Performing Arts, the Queens-born songstress first broke through in 2005 after penning the title track for Mary J. Blige’s #1 blockbuster, “THE BREAKTHROUGH.” From there, Gordon contributed songs to such artists as Danity Kane and Jennifer Lopez, while simultaneously kickstarting her own stint in the spotlight with vocal appearances on co-written tracks by David Guetta and Poe Boy/Atlantic recording artist Flo Rida. The latter single, 2009’s “Sugar (Feat. Wynter Gordon),” proved an RIAA platinum certified top 5 hit on Billboard’s “Hot 100” as well as a top 10 international smash.

KE$HA Sets New Digital Download Record

KE$HA’s starting off the new year with a bang. She’s at the top of the billboard charts and she just set a new digital download record for the most downloads by a female artist in one week. Her single ‘Tik Tok’ was downloaded 610,000 times beating the previous record of 419,000 held by Lady Gaga’s ‘Just Dance’, which was set exactly one year ago this week.

Interestingly, the overall record for the most digital downloads belongs to Flo-Rida’s ‘Right Round’ which sold 636,000 digital tracks. If the female voice singing the hook sounds familiar, that’s because it belongs to KE$HA. Could it be that everything she touches will turn to gold? If you didn’t know that voice was KE$HA’s, that’s because KE$HA requested not to have a feature credit on the song. She didn’t want it to distract from her debut solo album.

Here’s hoping we’ll be talking a lot more about KE$HA in 2010.

Mash-Up: Top 25 Pop Songs Of 2009

Take a look and listen to the top 25 pop songs of 2009 thanks to this incredible mash-up by DJ Earworm called ‘The United States Of Pop 2009 (Blame It On The Pop)’.

KE$HA ‘Tik Tok’ Hits No. 1

We’ve been following KE$HA for the past year, before her collaboration with Flo-Rida on ‘Right Round’ and we’re proud to announce that she’s hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

KE$HA is the first female to have a No. 1 debut single since Lady Gaga did it with ‘Just Dance’ in January 2009. KE$HA has the first No. 1 single of the new decade. Quite an accomplishment for the singer who claims she was broke when Flo-Rida released ‘Right Round’.

Congratulations!

“Low,” the gritty debut single from “Right Round” hitmaker Flo Rida, has been dubbed the “Most Downloaded Song of the Decade,” according to Nielsen SoundScan data.

Christina Aguilera Completes 4th Studio Album

I cannot wait to hear Christina Aguilera’s upcoming album! But we’re all going to have to wait until 2010.

Tricky Stewart, who has produced such hits as Rihanna’s Umbrella and Beyonce’s Single Ladies, is working with Christina Aguilera on her upcoming album and had the following to say about it:

“It’s just great. I wouldn’t say that it’s alternative, I wouldn’t say that it’s different. Christina’s always been an artist that moves the bar and that’s what the great ones do. They don’t stay in the same place for too long and this album is just another move for her. I really feel it’s one of her best bodies of work that I’ve heard since Stripped.”

Aguilera has also been working with M.I.A., Santigold, Sia, Le Tigre, Ladytron and Flo Rida.

The reason for the 2010 album release is because she’s currently working on the movie Burlesque with Cher.

Tricky says, “She’s gonna do the film first. She didn’t want to not be able to promote this record because it’s going to be a big record for her. The album is finished. She’s mixing. She hasn’t made a final decision about what the first single is, but I know everyone feels good about their options.”

It sounds like it’s going to be an amazing album!!!

New Video: KE$HA ‘Tik Tok’

KE$HA’s got a new single that’s quickly gaining popularity. If you don’t recognize the name, you definitely recognize the voice from Flo Rida’s smash hit ‘Right Round.’
