It's nice to hear a song with Japanese lyrics in the chart. It's a pity the song itself isn't too good. Give me nano.RIPE any day.

Not long till the epic conclusion ;)

Nowadays, I just refer to anything that made the Top 75 as a single, whether it was promoted as such or not.

That means loads of cherry picked tracks on release of album will be classed as singles, not a very good way of looking at it

Biography

When the Southern-flavored party rap called crunk took over urban radio in 2004, Miami rapper Pitbull decided it was time to seek stardom. The way Pitbull saw it, "crunk ain't nothin' but bass music slowed down." Miami bass music, that is, the kind Pitbull grew up on. His parents were first-generation Cuban immigrants who didn't let their son forget about his culture. They required him to memorize the works of Cuban poet José Martí, and Pitbull understood the power of words right away. Southern acts like Poison Clan and Luther Campbell were early influences, but as he grew, the young rapper got turned on to the G-funk sound of the West Coast and the New York City point of view Nas brought to the game.

 

Pitbull got involved in the game himself when he started appearing on Miami mixtapes. A meeting with Irv Gotti resulted in nothing, but soon Luther Campbell called on the rapper to appear on his "Lollipop" single. It brought Pitbull to the attention of the Diaz Brothers management team, who introduced the rapper to the king of crunk, Lil Jon. A Pitbull freestyle landed on Lil Jon's platinum-selling Kings of Crunk album in 2002, and the rapper's "Oye" track appeared on the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack in 2003. Ready to take it all the way to the top, Pitbull unleashed his debut full-length, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004 on the TVT label, with the Lil Jon-produced single "Culo" leading the way.

 

Soon Pitbull was making guest appearances on tracks by everyone from the Ying Yang Twins to Elephant Man. The 2005 compilation Money Is Still a Major Issue collected the best of these collaborations along with some remixes and unreleased tracks. In 2006, the single "Bojangles" prepared fans for his next album, El Mariel. As the album landed on the shelves it was announced that his next effort would be entirely in Spanish and titled The Boatlift. When the end product arrived in 2007, it was an album mostly in English, introduced by the single "Go Girl."

 

Two years later he released Rebelution, an album filled with slick club cuts including the hits "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" and "Hotel Room Service." Featuring the hit single "Bon Bon," his all-Spanish-language album Armando followed in 2010. In 2011, his Planet Pit album arrived, featuring the singles "Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)" and "Give Me Everything." Both the singles collection Original Hits and I Am Armando — a "reloaded" version of Armando — arrived in 2012 along with his seventh studio effort, Global Warming. The latter album featured the hits "Back in Time" and "Feel This Moment," and when a deluxe reissue appeared in 2013, the single "Timber" with special guest Ke$ha was added to the track list. - iTunes

Speaking of Ke$ha, I finally decided to get Warrior yesterday!

You're in denial! :D On the Capital Playlist = sent to radio stations

 

Latest Capital FM Playlist | 1st February 2014

 

Beyoncé - XO

Beyoncé feat. Jay Z - Drunk In Love

Capital play whatever is charting well, regardless. There is no way in a million years Radio 1 would not have playlisted 'Drunk In Love' if it had already been presented to radio (they would probably have some similar to what happened with Lily - two coinciding playlisted tracks ['Somewhere Only We Know' & 'Hard Out Here']).

Nowadays, I just refer to anything that made the Top 75 as a single, whether it was promoted as such or not.

 

Basically. I mean, maybe I wouldn't refer to an album track which just spends a week at #55 before dropping off the earth as a "single", but something like 'Drunk in Love' which has become a big hit, is getting played by loads of mainstream radio stations and even has a video really does have to be considered a single to all intents and purposes.

This interview :lol:

 

It was abit wako wasn't it? :lol:

 

I wish I had the confidence just to ask a girl out randomly like that fruit guy! :lol: If Katy B wants a valentines date, then I'm free :blush:

Didn't Music Week say in their commentary the other week that 'Drunk In Love' is the 'first hit' while 'XO' is the 'first single', even pointing out that that was an intentional distinguishment? Presumably they have slightly more insider knowledge than us random people on a music forum.

It's going down down the chart like timberrrr :P

At the very least, it's a promo single. There's no way 'Drunk In Love' can be classed merely as an album track! It's just not logical!

Capital play whatever is charting well that's either dance or R&B, regardless.

Fixed that for you! :D :P

It's an album track. Technically it's still an album track. And yes it is illogical. I don't know why she hasn't changed the singles over.

Fixed that for you! :D :P

 

Hah! Capital play anything that gets big for months and months all the time. It's thanks to them that the charts are so stale sometimes.

Capital are 99% of times the epitome of "safe" indeed. And their dependance of charts is quite boring.
