The Heatseekers (May 30, 2009)

Here are ten tracks that are amassing huge airplay or will soon heat up the charts. I had a hard time getting hold of the first two songs because I only hear them but I don’t know the title or who sang it. But finally (thanks to Google lyrics)...I found them.

* Cheater’s Dilemma (Kay B)
* Takes Time To Love (Trey Songz)
* Permanent (David Cook)
* Breathe Slow (Alesha Dixon)
* The Show (Lenka)
* This Time (John Legend)
* Touch My Hand (David Archuleta)
* Sugar (Flo Rida feat Wynter)
* Knock You Down (Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West and Neyo)
* Her Diamonds (Rob Thomas)

Music Updates

Mariah Carey and Usher have announced the titles of their next albums due out late this year. No, this is not a collaboration album. MC's new release will be called Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel and she is said to be working with Timbaland. Usher's will be called Monster. Usher should consider renaming the album in light of the now famous YouTube video of Chris Brown saying "I am not a monster" in reference to his altercation case with ex Rihanna.

Eminem is back at #1 on the album charts with his new album Relapse. But seems like his music has already ran its course in this part of the world. How about some controversy, Marshall Mathers?

Post-Idol finale, Kris Allen posted five songs on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest being No Boundaries (his victory song) at #11 and Heartless at #16. Runner-up Adam Lambert has four songs, with Mad World at #19. This falls short of the record-breaking 11 songs posted by David Cook post-finale last year.

But this is because they also released a Season 8 Best Performances digital album which migh have affected downloads of their singles. On the Billboard Hot 200 Albums, Lambert (#33) outsold Allen (#50).
