David Guetta & Nicki Minaj - Turn Me On (Cover)

Got to love it when an unsigned artist takes on a hit from a major aritst, puts their own spin on it and does a decent job of it all. Below we have another Cover Story with Robbie Jayy covering the unreleased single from David Guetta's Nothing But the Beat where he teams up with none other than Nicki Minaj. Robbie Jayy puts a jazz spin on it, but does an excellent job at giving a great song a whole new life in another world. Robbie Jayy, who's from London England sight some of his influences as being Jason Mraz and John Mayer which you can totally hear coming out in his rendition. Props to Robbie Jayy and check-out his music helping us support the best in new music around the world.

Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight

Olly Murs, the English singer-songwriter is back with the second single from In Case You Didn't Know . After being the runner-up on the 6th season of X-Factor UK, Olly hasn't looked back and has succeeded like a winner of the whole darn thing! Olly's latest release has an infectious retro feel to it and it is the Sneak Preview this week on the Chartblue countdown. While we wait for the official countdown debut, take a peak at the video just recently released and tell me that it isn't the funnest thing you've ever seen/heard?

Britney Spears - Criminal (Video)

By far the best video to come out of Britney Spears' camp in a long time (if not ever!). She seems to have taken a the very stylized, Lady Gaga approach to her latest release. The video actually makes me like the song a whole lot more as I was iffy about it at the outset. What are your thoughts on the new video and her choice for Criminal as the next release from Femme Fatale ?

Hedley - Invincible (Video)

The boys from British Columbia are back with the first release from their fourth studio album Storms due out later this November. The concept behind the video was to shed light on bullying and depicts several different victims groups who prove to be stronger than their woes as the video progresses. Hedley has seen very good success on the Chartblue countdown, and this song is climbing as we speak. What do you think of "Invincible"?

Coldplay ft. Rihanna - Princess of China (Audio)

Got to love it when to music heavyweights team up to make music bliss, and that is what has happened on the very mature-sounding and melodically driven Princess of China single. Rumours have been flying around that Chris Martin has suggested that Mylo Xyloto might be the band's last. With singles like this one, I think I speak for everyone when we say we hope not...

Beyonce - Love On Top (Video)

Beyonce has taken to the VEVO channels to release her latest video, for the song Love On Top which we saw performed during the VMAs this year. While the video is simple in concept, something about it is really enjoyable to watch! Of course Ms. B can dance like no one's business, but the single also has a real retro feel to it. What are your thoughts on the latest release from Beyonce?

The Fray - Heartbeat (Audio)

The Fray are back, the Fray are back! Seriously, if we could get more excited we would, but we can't. The boys from Denver Colorado USA are set to release their second album after their massively successful How to Save A Life. Can anyone forget the use of the title track from Grey's Anatomy Seasons 2 Finale... amazing! Either way, their making a name for themselves again with Scars and Stories due to drop on in February of 2012. The first single is Heartbeat and its got our hearts racing. Think The Fray are here to stay with this one?
