He announced "Down" as the second single. Hopefully those plans change now.

"Saxobeat" has never really clicked with me. Something about it is just cheezy, I dunno why. Of those, I LOVE "Take Over Control" and would want that to become the biggest hit. At the same time, I don't mind if it remains a hidden gem and not overplayed into the ground. Yeah I think "Saxobeat" is cheesy too which is why I can't get into it. But the cheesiness is the same reason that I think it can get people's attention more than the others. It's also by far the biggest of these hits in Europe. Afrojack I think will eventually go Top 20 but will have a hard time going much further. Swedish House Mafia would have happened by now if it were going to, but then again these songs stick around for months before they go somewhere. But since this has been used in Captain America adverts I'd have though it would have gotten more noticed by now if it were going to breakthrough. Medina sounds like the type of dance song that dance-leaning stations would have played even years ago. No wonder it's NYC and Miami that are supporting it so far, but it doesn't strike me as the type of dance song related to the dance epidemic at radio.

Can any of these be the next "Stereo Love" or "Hello" and go Top 20 at Pop? Maybe even Top 10? Which has the best shot? The first three on the list are already Top 50 at Pop and the first two are already Top 100 on iTunes. I think Alexandra has the best shot with lots of Z100 support and a gimmick factor, but Afrojack has a good chance too. Of the 4 Alexandra is my least favorite though

While this isn't really a hit at any format, it has managed to go Top 40 at all three major formats which is in a way kind of impressive.

This is falling like a brick now! Hopefully SLY gains starts making up for lost spins really quickly.

This is still increasing quickly at radio, but has already fallen out of the Top 10 of the Hot 100.

It reminds me of Chris Brown's "Yeah 3x" I don't hear the comparisons to "Yeah 3x" or "I'm Not Alone" at all. ROFL LOL. FML I don't hear it all now.

So good. My guess is this is his second single and it could be a MAJOR breakout for him.
Damn I wish I had this song for the whole summer.

I think one thing going against this in the US is the lack of a video. Hopefully one is in the works. It doesn't have to be anything amazing but videos are SO important for the American market. Are they REALLY that influential anymore? Outside of Lady GaGa, I honestly can't remember the last time I watched a video. Even most of the music video channels are moving away from them. Certainly having one can't hurt, but I feel that at best it might offer a temporary bump in sales. I notice that most songs don't truly climb the iTunes chart til the week the video comes out. Even if they're not always on TV, people are looking for them on social media sights.

Huge for her.
I forget- did Eve's "Let Me Blow Your Mind" make it to #1 on the Hot 100?

"Everytime" didn't even go Top 10? Chart methodology was so messed up for the first half of Brit's career.

Nice! A performance will send this up the iTunes chart really fast again. I wonder if it will beat its debut week #8 peak on the Hot 100 soon.

#6 iTunes now Can't remember the last time a proper Alternative song by a new artist did this well on the sales chart. True. Maybe "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven is the last one I can think of. Still don't understand that one, and that was three or four years ago. True... although that always reminded me of the type of Active Rock/Alternative hybrids that were doing well at the time. (SO glad that phase is over)

Jojo's version is OUT OF THIS WORLD good. YES! So good. It's so weird hearing the "Leave (Get Out)" girl singing "f**k the new girl" and singing about Aderol and Red Bull lol

This is nice in a way but nothing spectacular. LOL @ the robotic affect on Adele's voice.

Hot beat! Sounds like it could be from 2006 though, but I hope it does well. Sirius XM's The Heat is on it.

Yeah this is always on Hot 97.
I like it but don't love it. I change the station half the time and leave it half the time lol
