Jennifer Lopez Joins Taio Cruz On “Dynamite” Remix

The song isn't that great, and you can't really tell J-lo is in the song. I consider this a sign of things to come as more people remix the song and others start to cover it. I think it helps solidify Taio Cruz's hit and all the people who think he is a one hit wonder can forget about it. Taio is here to stay.

Eminem and Rihanna have prevented Taio Cruz from scoring his first No.1 on the ARIA singles chart.

British singer-songwriter-producer Cruz also peaked at number two Down Under with 'Break Your Heart' earlier this year.

Meanwhile, behind Eminem, Rihanna and Cruz, Enrique Iglesias slips to three with Pitbull collaboration 'I Like It'.

Katy Perry places two tracks in this week's top ten, debuting at four with 'Teenage Dream' to notch up her sixth Aussie top ten hit, but falling from four to seven with former chart-topper 'California Gurls'.

'America's Got Talent' welcomes Bret Michaels, Taio Cruz

The Wednesday, Aug. 4 live results show of "America's Got Talent" just got a whole lot thornier.

Bret Michaels, most recently of "Celebrity Apprentice," is stopping by "America's Got Talent" to perform his signature power ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." He will be joined by U.K. artist Taio Cruz, whose debut single "Break Your Heart," (feat. Ludicris) is currently making its way up the charts.

Michaels also performed "Rose" on the "American Idol" finale with finalist Casey James and has been mentioned many times in guess-who-is-replacing-Simon-Cowell conversations. This performance of "Rose" comes during the last quarter-final of "Talent," when the final three acts advance to the semi-finals.

Funnily enough, we predicted Bret Michaels would be on "Talent." We were only three weeks off. "America's Got Talent" airs Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.

A lot of Press Over Dynamite, Taio's New Single!

I love the video and I love the song. What do you think? Will it hit number one? If you haven't seen the video yet, check it out here.

Taio Cruz - New Music - More Music Videos

Mike Thiel column: Usher, Katy Perry, Taio Cruz among artists defining summer radio play

Think of all the music you mentally digest in a week; what songs get stuck in your head? What melody do you find yourself humming along to even when you despise it?

For some reason, summer songs are far more contagious than songs released in other seasons, and 2010’s defining summer tunes are beginning to pop; Usher’s back, Katy Perry never left and Taio Cruz is finally creeping up on the veterans.

Choosing this summer’s top dance/club tracks was difficult but after considering the timing of the release, longevity on the charts, radio play, current chart status and a little subjectivity, it became easier to dole out my five songs to be remembered in the summer of 2010.

“OMG” by Usher

After hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and currently lasting 16 weeks on the charts, I will go on record to say that “OMG” holds enough weight to close down 2010 as the summer’s defining song. Even in its almighty radio rotation, “OMG” shines brighter than other tracks with its clever song structure, fun incorporation of technology lingo and new school meets old school video. Usher is back in 2010 and is inching closer to filling the void left by our now Michael Jackson-less music world.

“Dynamite” by Taio Cruz

“Break Your Heart” added the commercial value of Ludacris to lift it to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but “Dynamite” has Cruz all on his own, rocking a simple solo sing-along. I’m loving this track right now and it’s holding its place on the charts well; too soon to tell if this one will get old fast, but right now it’s exploding like … dynamite.

“Club Can’t Handle Me” by Flo Rida

Last night, “Club Can’t Handle Me” was sitting at No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100, which means it has the potential to do some serious climbing in the upcoming weeks. Though sometimes it reminds me of a “I Got a Feeling”/”Hamster Dance Song” hybrid, it’s a total hands-up party track that has potential to last in the DJ’s play list.

“I Like It” by Enrique Iglesias

Originally, I poked fun and called this song “I Don’t Like It,” but its continuous radio play has forced me to sing along, and now, the song and I enjoy our time together. Whether any of us really “like it” or not, Iglesias and Pitbull nail the summer sound with this one.

“California Gurls” by Katy Perry

It’s the current No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 (as of last night) and is shaping up to be the peanut butter to our summer jam. A catchy hook, an assist from Snoop Dogg and a risque music video were enough to boot “OMG” from the top spot a few weeks ago and it has anchored itself since. Also, the No. 1 hit is spurring YouTube spoofs like “Minnesota Gurls,” which is sure to inspire more (bad) knock-offs, keeping this summery tune fresh until the leaves start falling.

Eminem, Rihanna end Perry's US chart reign

Eminem and Rihanna have ended Katy Perry's six-week reign over the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

Their hit 'Love The Way You Lie' - also top in Australia at present - climbs to No.1 this week after spending three consecutive weeks in second position.

It becomes the fourth and seventh US chart-toppers for Eminem and Rihanna respectively.

Perry slips to two with 'California Gurls', while B.o.B. and Hayley Williams hold steady at three with 'Airplanes'.

Meanwhile, Taio Cruz climbs from six to four with 'Dynamite', the follow-up to his transatlantic chart-topper 'Break Your Heart'.

Notable gains outside the top ten come from Shontelle, who jumps from 16 to 13 with 'Impossible', and Maroon 5, who leap from 44 to 28 with 'Misery'.

Video Premiere: Taio Cruz's 'Dynamite'

Taio Cruz rides a fast bike and stops by a place where he kicks off a firework party with the ladies in attendance. "I've done race cars and speedboats. For this one, I wanted to do things on a bike," he explained to MTV. "So you're gonna see me spin the tires on this, which is pretty cool!"

One of the vehicles brought for the video shoot is a "massive truck" which was used to film big screen project "Universal Soldier". He said, "I've never done a video that has this many props in it. We've got the most amazing, wrecked cars."

"Dynamite" is taken from Taio Cruz's second album "Rokstarr". He stated, "[It] is about when you go to the club and when you go to a party and when you're just going out ... you got to feel like, 'I'm just gonna explode'." And he represents that in the music video with "just massive, massive fireworks in the sky."

Listen to Taio Cruz "Dynamite" (Stonebridge Remix)

Taio Cruz's new single "Dynamite" is guilty pleasure pop of the finest kind. And that should really come as no surprise. The track was written by Taio in collaboration with Dr. Luke (Ke$ha's main man) and Swedish pop genius Max Martin who really doesn't need more of an introduction.

"Dynamite" further solidies Cruz's reputation as one of the planet's rare, sure-bet chart toppers. If you look for slick, catchy and dancefloor-ready pop, Taizo Cruz delivers every single time. The single comes with a slew of remixes including this hot little remake by Stonebridge. "Dynamite" will hit the U.K. on August 23.
