Big Wreck - Albatross
American band fronted by Canadian singer Ian Thornley, best remembered for their 1997 single 'The Oaf'.  They have reformed, and this is their latest single, new in the Canadian chart at #99

Martin Solveig featuring Dragonette and Idoling! - Big in Japan
The 4th single from Solveig's album 'Smash'.  This song was released in October of 2011, where it was already a Top 40 hit in Belgium.  It's slowly rising in North America, currently at #51 in Canada

Mia Martina - Burning
I am sold on that awesome saxophone. This was released in 2011, but has risen to #30 in Canada.  I think I have found my #1 of 2012 (so far)

Midnight City is a great one.

It's even better live on this Jimmy Fallon performance, the sax at the end is not mixed down as far in the background.

This one is technically not new, as it already reached #11 in Canada back in April of 2011, but it has recently been released for the European Market where it debuted last week at #2 in the UK chart (This week dropping to #5).  It is a fantastic cover/sample of the 1987 song 'Alone' by Heart

Alyssa Reid featuring Jump Smokers - Along Again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJZX_fYV3ZI

It's appearance in the UK chart, may have prompted interest in the original, as 'Alone' by Heart has currently-re-entered the UK chart at #94

I also like Turn Me On by David Guetta & Nicki Minaj and Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) By Kelly Clarkson which are big hits at the moment.

Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) By Kelly Clarkson

I like it very much. I has that 2000s feeling.

Cher Lloyd featuring Astro - Want U Back

This song will be HUGE in the coming months.  It has the female-oriented teen pop sound that is all the rage right now.

I don't really like this song, but its the sound that is hot right now.

This song is already huge in Canada.  It reached #1 here back in early February.  Carly Rae Jepsen placed 3rd in the 5th season of Canadian Idol, and with this song, she is the first conestant from Canadian Idol to have a hit outside of Canada.  It is her 4th hit here

My new guilty pleasure LOL.

There's also a dirty version on youtube for those interested lol.

Not usually a fan of music videos but my cousin sent this and it is just about the nicest, sexiest, video that I have ever had the pleasure to watch.  The ending is just the nicest  :)

Usher - Climax
Jessie J - Domino
Adele - Rumour Has It
Garbage - Blood for Poppies

I saw this band at Rockfest on Saturday and I really liked them. This song has been getting a lot of airplay on the local rock station.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ29Pw1P7DE





And while we're on the subject of Rockfest: Hey, Jason...can you Canadians do the world a favor and stuff Theory Of A Deadman back into whatever igloo they crawled out of? They were like Nickelback if they had gotten rid of Chad Kroger and replaced him with The Situation from Jersey Shore.  8-P

Theory of A Deadman are not as popular as they once were.  Lead singer Tyler Connolly does look like he belongs on the Jersey Shore lol

I'm not entirely sure this is a 2012 song, but I heard it for the first time today:

King Charles - Mississippi Isabel

Warning: You may have difficulty figuring out which year you're in when you listen to some of these songs.

Songs from artist I've been addicted to for over the past week...

Recently discovered Onra and I'm officially addicted to his music. I'm aware that the following came out in 2010, but I heard it for the first time this year so...:

Azealia Banks has quickly become a fave! She reminds me of Missy Elliot and a bit of Lauryn Hill. My top 3 fave songs from her right now:

Also a fan of Jessie Ware. Just discovered her a few days ago, but was unaware she already had a few hits in the UK (I'm out here in the US). I'd love to see her get successful over here. She reminds me of Sade and Annie Lennox:
