Countdown Commentary

It's been a while since the BLOG has shifted it's attention to the Countdown to the prior day so let's take a quick peak before tomorrow's Tight Ass Tuesday Tune Day.

The new tunes this week came from Bastille and Fatboy Slim mixing it up with Riva Starr. I was really happy to see some new music from Fatboy as he really is a dance music icon. Norman Cook has worked under a few names and produced hits for years now. Bastille proved "Pompeii" was not just a lucky hit.

In other news before I move onto this weeks local and international (the UK) charts well done to Lorde, one for filling in for Frank Ocean (a big task) at Splendour in the Grass 2013 and two for being number one again with the massive smash "Royals" and also "Tennis Court" continues to prove she is no one trick pony.  Looking forward to a debut from the 16 year old from across the pond.

So to the Australian Number One in the singles Avicii continues to be number one with Aloe Blacc doing some damn fine work on vocals on that tune. Avicii's album True will be very interesting towards the end of this year. On the album side of things Aussie rock team Karnivool take out the top spot with their latest release "Asymmetry". The boys from Perth who formed in 1997 really are killing it & I expect to see them on many festival line ups and the weather starts to heat up.

In the UK Avicii "Wake Up" mirrors it's Aussie number one success and shows the young DJ is HUGE! On the albums chart Jahmene Douglas (not on my radar yet) took out the top spot with his album "Love Never Fails".

So there you have it, so much good pop music out now and my favourite pop album from the weekend and recent times, it's the infectious AlunaGeorge, take a listen below:
