Attention all, it's time for the Xposition!!!
An exposition in music is the first section of a movement written in sonata form, introducing the melodies and themes. In my blog the Xposition would be the analysis of the charts at the end of the month as well as some exciting news from the music scene.
Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke ft. T.I. and Pharrell held on to No. 1 for quite a number of weeks on both the UK Charts as well as the Billboard Hot 100. The highest entry to the UK Charts is The Other Side by Jason Derulo which I believe hoped for Numero Uno but fell short by couple of hundred singles. No new entrants to the first 50 in the Billboard Hot 100 although a few changes in between.
Dizzee Rascal makes a return to the charts, this time debuting at Number 5 for his song Goin' Crazy featuring Robbie Williams. Andrea Begley won the UK version of the Voice Season 2 but her winning song cover of Sarah Mclachlan's Angel did not even chart although her version of Evanescence's My Immortal debuted at 75. Interesting thing is Leah McFall and Mike Ward who were the Runners-Up both have their singles higher up the charts with their songs Gloria Gaynor's I will survive and Bruno Mars' When I was your man respectively.
Meanwhile Miley Cyrus who is made her return with We Can't Stop has landed the cover of the Billboard magazine. It appears that Miley Cyrus has indeed crept out of her father's shadow and shed the Hannah Montana persona into a more vivacious Rihanna/Ke$ha outfit. Let's hope she doesn't take a plunge like Lindsey or Britney though, and we all know that Billy Ray Cyrus has now filed for divorce from his wife ending a 19 year marriage, which could affect his daughter deeply.
Songs that haven't performed as well as they have expected are:
1. Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull - Live it up
2. Will.I.Am ft. Justin Bieber - #that Power
3. Demi Lovato - Heart Attack
Despite the hype these singles created they have not actually performed as much as the producers expected, though this might be because of Robin Thicke, Daft Punk and Naughty Boy, not to forget Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pink.
In the Albums Chart news in the UK we have Kanye West with Yeezus which peaked and in the US Black Sabbath after 43 years returns to the top with 13.
Although one would have expected Jennifer Lopez to have gotten a Hollywood Star by now it was only now that she received the honour of a star down the famous Walk of Fame in Hollywood. It is also significant for her as she is the 2500th celebrity to receive it.
Til the next beat...
At Ease!!!
