Things looked rather grim at first for Maroon 5 latest single ‘Payphone’ when a released cover of their track made it nearly to the top. However good news for the American guys, who managed to take the number 1 last week. Whether they can hold on for another week will be difficult. the Calvin Harris Remix of Florence+ The Machine’s track ‘Spectrum’ seems to be having the number 1 in the bag. We’ll find out tomorrow.
2011 has been a very interesting year in terms of music, especially since there was a lot of dance music going on. No wonder, that the hopes were high when an artist came along who’s style of music was rather gentle, sincere and sweet. Jasmine van den Bogaerde, better known as Birdy, was one of those artists who was welcomed with open arms.
