Hit & Miss 1st November 2010

Its time to review some of the new songs available to download and buy next week.

Nadine Coyle - 'Insatiable'

1st November

The much delayed first solo release from 'The Voice'

of Girls Aloud. with obvious undertones of 2007

smash hit Umbrella by Rihanna/ Jay Z. Great vocals

on display in this, should do well but won't be able

to compete with the promotion from among others

bandmate Cheryl Cole and The X Factor juggernaut.

PREDICTION- UK Top 10

VERDICT- HIT





Ne-Yo - 'One In A Million'

1st November

Hot on the heels of uptempo chart topping
 'Monster', Ne-Yo lends his silky smooth
vocals to this catchy number. With the cold
nights drawing in this song is a real

Winter warmer and should chart well,

however it doesnt scream like an instant

smash, would say its more of a creeper hit,

but should debut solidly.



PREDICTION- UK Top 3

VERDICT- HIT

Will.i.am & Nicki Minaj -'Check It Out'

1st November

Another month, another appearance from Nicki

Minaj, this time with will.i.am. Already scaling the

Billboard charts in the U.S. This takes a few

listens to bed in but when it does all becomes

clear. A real crowd pleaser at the right time

for many Christmas party playlists. And with

a sample of the Buggles 'Video Killed The Radio

Star' thrown in for good measure, you can't go

far wrong with this track.

PREDICTION- UK Top 3

VERDICT- HIT

Roll Deep feat. Alesha Dixon - 'Take Control'

1st November

following their 2005 debut to moderate success

Roll Deep are having a phenomenal year so far

coming off the back of two Number 1's this year,

they enlist the help of Strictly Come Dancing vixen

Alesha Dixon. However this song lacks a few things

firstly originality as it sounds more like an album

filler and finally the killer hook that is apparent in

their last two efforts. I fear not even Alesha

 can help this song foxtrot its way to the top spot.

PREDICTION- UK Top 10

VERDICT - MISS

So having seen the top draw songs available next week, lets see what other songs are available on general download and release.

Alexis Jordan - Happiness

American singer Alexis makes her first major UK release with this song. Despite much hype and promise in the US don't expect anything special from this.

Prediction- Top 75 MISS

Ellie Golding - Lights

Ellie's amazing vocals and harmonic sound raidiates throughout this little gem of a track, the third from her same-titled debut album. 

Prediction- Top 20 HIT

Jamiroquai - Blue Skies

A hearty welcome back to a british institution in the shape of Jay Kay and Jamiroquai. With a video reminiscent of Robbie Williams and Bodies last year, this laid back, relaxed evening song, will make a mild impression on the chart upon release, and is a sweet enough song, but more importantly its good to have you back.

Prediction- Top 20 HIT

Linkin' Park - Waiting For The End,

I have listened to this song a few times now, and im still none the wiser about the inspiration for this song. It's such a drastic change of musical theme and style from Linkin' Park that I still have to check the name to make sure it is them. Sometime change is good. On this occasion however the title of the track takes on a deeper significance- it sounds like we are hearing the end of this group.

Prediction- Top 40 BIG MISS

check back next week for another review of the main tracks available to own from next week, with my thoughts and eventual chart position predictions and verdicts on them.
