Calvin Harris Aims For #1 With New UK Single "We'll Be Coming Back" featuring Example

While dance music producer and performer Calvin Harris has been busy becoming an international pop superstar with his trio of singles "Bounce" featuring Kelis, "Feel So Close," and "Let's Go" featuring Ne-Yo, he has experienced some serious chart frustration at home in the UK. Despite having two earlier #1 pop hit singles, these last three hits have all peaked at #2 on the UK pop singles chart. Calvin Harris' latest release will use some guest star power to try and power into the #1 slot. However, he will also have to fight off music from the Olympics along the way.

Carly Rae Jepsen Sets a Chart Milestone For Canadian Artists With "Call Me Maybe"

Carly Rae Jepsen's breakout hit "Call Me Maybe" is entering the pop chart record books. As the song logs its seventh week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, it becomes the longest reigning #1 ever by a female Canadian solo artist. Three other songs by female artists spent six weeks at the top. They are "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland and two Celine Dion songs, "Because You Loved Me" and "I'm Your Angel" featuring R. Kelly. Among all Canadian artists Carly Rae Jepsen moves into a tie with Snow's "Informer" Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)." She has a big hill to climb to take the all-time title. Canada's Percy Faith holds that record spending nine weeks at #1 back in 1960 with "The Theme From A Summer Place."

Slipknot: Wear The Mask

Slipknot is proud to announce the launch of the band's first ever digital app, available now across Mac iOS and Android platforms.  Appropriately entitled "Slipknot: Wear the Mask," the app is as much about the fans as it is the band. "Wear The Mask" has social, gameplay, and photography aspects, but it is not any one of those things exclusively.


Clown of Slipknot notes: "Welcome to what we are. Welcome to what you are, and what we together have always been. Slipknot is not a band. We are a culture and you are our blood. We play for blood. Enjoy your new face. It has always been there with you. Strap it on and let's infect the entire world together as one. It's time to Wear The Mask. Stay (sic) and enjoy it."


"Slipknot: Wear the Mask" can be downloaded at http://wearthemask.slipknot1.com/.

Spotify Playlist: Friday The 13th

This week's Friday Spotify playlist is a repeat, and here's why: 2012 is a special year in that it has had three Friday the 13ths, each one separated by 13 weeks. (The first one was in January, the second in April; this is the last one of the year.) Weird, right?


Anyway, as we told you back in April, in 2003, Roadrunner released the soundtrack to the movie Freddy vs. Jason, a disc which included tracks by Killswitch EngageSlipknot,Stone SourType O NegativeDevilDriverChimaira, and many more. And while that disc is not available on Spotify, some enterprising fan went and tracked down all the individual songs and built a Spotify playlist that exactly corresponds to the CD. So we're sharing it with you today! Enjoy!

Cookie Monster Spoofs Carly Rae Jepsen with "Share It Maybe"

Carly Rae Jepsen's massive #1 hit single "Call Me Maybe" has been the subject of a wide range of spoofs and cover versions. However, it is quite possible this latest one trumps them all. Sesame Street's beloved Cookie Monster has come up with his own cookie-centered version "Share It Maybe." Parents may even laugh out loud as they recognize the sharing of snacks, watching videos, and using the photocopier in an office of cubicles. Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" has spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over four million copies. It has reached #1 in more than 15 countries around the world as well as the top 10 on dance, adult pop, and adult contemporary charts. Check out the Cookie Monster's good natured version below.

Florence and the Machine Set For First #1 UK Pop Single With "Spectrum (Say My Name)"

Florence and the Machine are proof that a stellar live performance can indeed sell music. This past weekend Florence and the Machine received kudos for a powerful performance at the T in the Park music festival. The result is that Florence Welch is on target for her first #1 pop hit single in the UK. "Spectrum (Say My Name)" is also supported by a music video directed by famed photographer David LaChapelle and a popular remix by Calvin Harris. It is the fifth chart single from the acclaimed album Ceremonials. Florence and the Machine's only previous top 10 hit single was "You Got the Love" from the first album Lungs. Both albums have topped the album chart and are certified platinum.
