While I'm pleased for these artists (Jay Sean & Taio deserve their success), I can't believe these "lightweight" tracks are what the americans are eating up right now.

 

 

Everybody in Love

 

Interesting choice...I would have gone with one of the other two :lol: I guess with J.R. Rotem being the producer it's the most 'US friendly' of the three though.

I honestly thought 'Beat Again' would be more likely to smash over there than EIL, but that was before I heard of Jason Derulo and Iyaz LOL. JR Rotem, is the RedOne of this year it seems. But JLS have got no chance unless they add Lil Jon or something :heehee: But I guess having a track produced by Rotem is what'll do it for them.

I love how most of Jason DeRulo's album has identical intros/closes to the opening few seconds of Everybody In Love :lol:

Yeh its because the songs have all been produced by J R Rotem

"Everybody In Love" is "Love In This Club" Pt 2, so it's the ideal choice for the American market :lol:

 

 

Rihanna is going surpass BEP.

I'm glad Taio Cruz is doing so well, even though I don't like the song.

 

I was also thinking the other day that Tinchy Stryder's Never Leave You would actually be HUGE in the US I reckon.

Jay Sean and Taio Cruz are R&B/Pop vocalists featuring US rappers.

 

Tinchy and Chipmunk are british (so-called) rappers featuring vocalists. Not sure what the american market will make of their attempts :lol:

 

I know I just wanted to make a Sugababes connection :lol:

Rihanna is going surpass BEP.

Probaby, but she's down to #5.

:o Go away Lady ...

Wow, GO Taio :o

I was reading this thread at work this afternoon during my lunch and was completely surprised to see Taio Cruz no. 1 in the US iTunes chart. I personally don't think it's his best track despite its three weeks at no. 1 in the UK last Autumn (I prefer 'Come On Girl' much more).

 

Still, it's great to see another British artist getting success in the US. I wonder if 'Break Your Heart' will hit no. 1 in the US Billboard Hot 100? :o Downloads have the best thing to happen to the US charts - just imagine how crap and shallow the US no. 1 singles of 2009 would've been with just airplay!!! :lol: It's not even work considering.

To be honest, I'd prefer 'I Gotta Feeling' being no. 1 in the US for 52 weeks the 104 weeks of hell that were 2003 and 2004 (156 if you include 2006).

The Script are Irish!
