    2nd album from Capital Cities is finally out! You may remember them for "In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery" which included singles "Safe And Sound", "Kangaroo Court" and "One Minute More" among other great tracks, and their covers of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and Madonna's "Holiday".

    This is legit now my favourite dance track at the moment. Sounded really good on Dance Anthems earlier.

    I thought the same as well! Was exercising during dance anthems and this one stood out as being something special.

     

    It kind of sounds like what Galantis SHOULD be releasing now, based on what they released in 2015/16.

    Harps on about God i.e. saving him from dying recently - do these rappers think that worshipping God when they commit all sorts means they’re immune from judgement? Though given the following in this instance it seems so!

    Wonder if we'll get some more new Christmas tracks climbing the ranks? Santa's Coming For Us should certainly get a new peak since it was only released last year and should leapfrog some of the older songs ahead of it.

    It’d be great to see the best of Sia's Christmas album get some nice peaks. Go "Ho Ho Ho"!

    Well put Joe. Though perhaps while he’s losing or potentially losing fans of BN, he now seems to have a huge following from teenyboppers - a lot of Ariana fans also now transferring onto Troye. So perhaps it’s not all bad for him... perhaps this is the market he’s aiming for now?

    mre than a mess, id say it's been a bunch of underwhelming and disappointing tracks (sadly)

    Only really underwhelming and disappointing when compared to "Blue Neighbourhood" which was sublime/5 star. The singles are decent they just seem to lack the levels of the previous album.

    Loved "Holiday"! I remember absolutely rinsing that one in the first weeks after it came out. Still enjoy it now.

     

    Also love both Prodigy tracks from that list - such a strong era for them - and the Nneka/Chase & Status track - such a good remix and went on to be sampled by Rita Ora in "R.I.P."

     

    Quite a few other tracks of note such as "Poppiholla", "Heartbreak...", "I Remember", “Get Shaky", "Rock It", "Watch The Sun Come Up" (Example was actually good once), "Flashback" and "Ghosts n Stuff". Dance music was good fun but perhaps I was just very much a university student :P

    "Call Your Girlfriend" is sublime. As are "Dancing On My Own", "Be Mine!", "Hang With Me", "Indestructible", "Handle Me", "Show Me Love", "Dancehall Queen", "Dream On", "Keep This Fire Burning" - I mean we could go on...

    Akon did not feature on Just Dance (although he did co-write the track according to Wikipedia) - it was just Lady Gaga and Colby O'Donis who were credited on it.

    Although he isn't officially credited on the single, I felt he provides significant enough background vocal and songwriting input to warrant it being mentioned.

    2nd best ever? Oh come off of it. Obviously you're entitled to your opinion :P But! You have to get past the mammoth epicness of "With Every Heartbeat" and "Dancing On My Own" before you even consider the rest of her rather excellent back catalogue.

    David Guetta featuring Akon - Sexy Bitch

    Date: 23 August 2009

    Weeks at #1: 10 weeks

    Official Chart Run: 1-2-3-2-2-2-3-5-10-13-18-24-31-36-35-43-47-59-52-33-45-54-65-68-73-78-86-83-85-95-90-85-xx-92-88-96-97-xx-100-89-xx-99 (26 weeks top 75 +14 top 100)

     

     

    Another monster hit now for the other monster DJ: that's right, French DJ legend David Guetta grabs another dance number 1, with the assistance of Akon on vocals, with "Sexy Bitch" - or "Sexy Chick" if you're listening clean. This was the follow up to the huge "When Love Takes Over" featuring Kelly Rowland which topped the charts earlier in the year, and taken from Guetta's 4th album "One Love".

     

    Written in just one night in collaboration with Akon, Giorgio Tuinfort, Jean-Claude Sindres and Sandy Vee, Guetta was eager to capitalise on the success of his previous single. Akon at the time was still popular, having already hit the number 1 spot in the UK with "Lonely" (2005), "Smack That" (2006) and "Just Dance" (2009). It was Guetta's 2nd UK number 1 single, though Stateside it peaked a little lower at number 5. As of October 2014, it had sold 740,000 combined copies in the UK. Stateside it has sold over 3.5 million combined copies. Here it tops the dance chart for 10 weeks in two separate runs - held off for a week in its second week by the next number 1.

     

    The release was not without its controversy, from lyrics considered to be disrespectful to women, to the music video being offensive to Buddhism as a Buddha statue appeared in many shots of the video. The latter led to Akon being barred from entering Sri Lanka where he was due to perform.

     

    Official remixes were released by Chuckie and Lil Jon, AfroJack, Koen Groeneveld, Abel Ramos, and Footloose.

     

    The impact of "Sexy Bitch" was phenomenal. You couldn't go to a club without hearing this for years. I remember hearing it in a club in Monaco in 2015, still popular 6 years on. It's certainly one of the biggest dance hits I can remember from this century so far.

     

    Parent album "One Love" heralded further singles - "One Love" featuring Estelle (#46) and "Memories" featuring Kid Cudi (#15), and then "Gettin' Over You" featuring Chris Willis, Fergie and LMFAO (#1) and "Who's That Chick?" featuring Rihanna (#6) from disc 2 of the "One More Love" re-issue. "I Wanna Go Crazy" featuring will.i.am was also released as a promo track, reaching #92 in the UK. From the same era, and included on disc 2 of "One More Love", were "Commander" with Kelly Rowland (#9) and "Acapella" with Kelis (#5), Guetta's remix of Madonna's "Revolver" (#130), and his earlier singles "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)" vs. The Egg and featuring Chris Willis, and "Love Is Gone" also featuring long-time collaborator Chris Willis. David Guetta will be no stranger to the top spot in the 2010s - it's clear his impact hereon was absolutely massive - though it could be argued a lot of his output nowadays has been watered down so much that the quality has dissipated.

    I don’t rate either FI driver, I find them petulant and stroppy and arrogant. Neither have the skills to back their ego.

     

    You look at the aero and cooling on that RBR and compare it to Renault and McLaren (who had packaging and cooling issues in testing) and it’s a reasonable conclusion to make. There’s some reason why they have a higher failure rate and I think claims of “overdriving” are less about factual reality and more of a hatred of Max

    Esteban has always come across as such a lovely guy in any interview I've seen; granted immature reacting to situations with Sergio last year. Sergio I've increasingly found to come across quite arrogant - though I've seen good-hearted comments and actions from him too to be fair.

     

    Surely though, they've been driving the socks off of that Force India? Do you think Hamilton or Vettel or Alonso could've gotten that car onto the podium regularly or even once last year? I think Pérez has improved somewhat since his chance at McLaren... I think Ocon could be a future world champion. Just the impression I get anyway.

     

    I ignore the Max hate - he's just a little immature and the mistakes will get less with each year that goes by. When he's on form, he's incredible. I'd take Danny Ric over him as things stand, but I definitely believe the hype.
