  Paramore – Still Into You (FBR/WAR)
  The Aston Shuffle vs Tommy Trash – Sunrise (Won’t Get Lost) (EMI)
  The Presets – Fall (UMA)
  tyDi feat Melanie Fontana – Nothing Really Matters (RON/UMA)
  Sam La More feat Gary Go – Adrenaline (HUS/UMA)
  Tegan & Sara – I was a Fool (WBR/WMA)
  Little Mix feat Missy Elliot – How Ya Doin’ (SME)

  US rock/pop band Paramore fronted by Hayley Williams have raced up the charts for their most successful single here in Australia ever with Still Into You.  We missed the jump on this one, but we’ll play catch up and join in the fun.

  A plethora of Aussie dance masters return with The Presets, The Aston Shuffle, tyDi and Sam La More all offering world beating, chart topping excellence for the European summer club season.

  With their tour in full swing and Diff’rent Strokes Jade Gulliver sharing a motel room with the girls in Melbourne last week….ok it was for an interview (see right) … Tegan & Sara hit us up with a gorgeous mid tempo number showcasing their vocal harmonies beautifully.  Listen into the Sound Museum tonight or the C+C Drive Factory tomorrow for those interview highlights or keep an eye out for the podcast shortly.

  The UK’s Little Mix enrol the big guns with Missy Elliot on board for the 4th offering  lifted from their debut album.  The song is a bit of a mongrel, literally, with it sampling lyrically and composition wise, no less than 3 other songs, but actually it works really well.

  Aussie independent trio out of Adelaide – brothers Harrison and Andrew along with best friend Jai – are AT SUNSET and they head up our music additions with new single “RUSH” this week. Also gracing our airwaves will be 2008 Aus Idol alumna 22-year-old Brooke Addamo, now known as Owl Eyes. Indie pop duo out of New York MS MR have been creating a deal of hype for a couple of months now and their latest single, “FANTASY”, works for us. Jessie J teams up with David Guetta for a second time following last year’s UK top 10 with Laserlight, and those of us (old enough) who hold that soft spot for ABBA will be very excited by the return of Agnetha with a highly competent and contemporary new single, with an album to follow in May.

  At Sunset – Rush (IND)
  Ms Mr – Fantasy (SME)
  Owl Eyes – Closer (ILLUSIVE)
  Agnetha Faltskog – When You Really Loved Someone (UMG)
  David Guetta feat Jessie J – Repeat (EMI)
