Christmas songs

As we are finally on the week leading up to Christmas, it is time for some Christmas music. We have been on the lookout for new songs which you can add to your festive playlist. Here are our favourites:

1. Feuerherz - Merry Christmas

Feuerherz is a German schlager/pop group and have released their track 'Merry Christmas' which uses 5 foreign language (German, English, Spanish, Italian and Dutch).
For anyone who likes a good looking boyband looking all festive in their Christmas jumpers and winter wardrobe, this video will be perfect for you.

The song is now available on Amazon and iTunes.

2. Kylie Minogue feat. Dannii Minogue - 100 Degrees

It has been a very long time since the Minogue sisters have performed together but finally as part of Kylie's Christmas album, Kylie is joined by her sister Dannii for their Christmas song '100 Degrees'.
The song is disco/pop track and something very different to the traditional Christmas songs which are usually played on the radio.

Kylie and Dannii recently performed their song on The X Factor Australia and at the Royal Albert Hall.

Jessie J - Man With The Bag

It has been a long time coming for Jessie J to release a Christmas song. She has an amazing voice and brings something very different. With her song 'Man With The Bag' Jessie j joins the race to be part of the Christmas charts.

4. The Makemakes - Please Come Home For Christmas

The Austrian band The Makemakes are back with a Christmas song. 'Please Come Home For Christmas is a song for people who want different and a more rocker sound.
The group best known for representing Austria in the European Song Contest 2015 hope to finish the year on a bit of a high after coming last (with Germany) after scoring 0 points.

Fleur East And The Vamps

With many exciting chart battles taking place lately, we expect these two albums to climb up the UK Charts in the next couple of weeks with sales over the Christmas period.

Fleur East - Love, Sax and Flashbacks

Fleur East came second on The X Factor UK last year but has already entered the UK Charts at number 3 with her debut single 'Sax'. Her new album 'Love, Sax and Flashbacks went in at number 14 in the UK but with her fantastic live performances and the run up to Christmas, we think Ms East will be in the top 10 in no time!
One stand out track off the album has to be 'Breakfast' (short clip below).

The Vamps - Wake Up

The Vamps recently enjoyed showing off the video to their single 'Wake up' which stared Brooklyn Beckham. The single entered the UK chart at number 12 and their new album 'Wake Up' entered the chart at number 10.
The lads have recently announced a UK tour starting March 2016 and tickets are selling fast!

With One Direction taking a break in 2016, it is believed that The Vamps will take their place for world domination!

 

UK Boys with Soul

An artist who can move people with just their voices don't come round very often. This week sees the release of two singles performed by artists who can do this.

Jahméne - Down For Love

Jahméne is best know from his appearance on The X Factor where he finished runner up to James Arthur. During his time on the show, he moved the audience to tears with his soulful and emotional performances.
Jahméne is now back with his new single 'Down For Love' which has a gospel/soul feel to it and with the voice that everyone has been missing, you would be crazy not to add this song straight to your playlist.

One thing that really stands out about Jahméne is the fact that he is just a normal guy and like he has recently said, he is not looking for fame, its all about the music.
We are still hoping for him to record an original song with his X Factor mentor Nicole Scherzinger as their voices blended so well on the final!

The song is available now and we are sure there will be many more great songs and emotional performances coming from this British artist!



Nathan Sykes - Over and Over Again

What a journey Nathan Sykes is currently on. The ex The Wanted member has been performing everywhere around the world and working on new music for his debut solo album.
He has already had chart success with his single 'Kiss Me Quick' which entered the UK chart at number 14 and the US Dance chart at number 1.

Nathan is now back with his new single 'Over and Over Again' which perfectly showcases his soulful voice and really takes the listener on a journey. He will be performing the song on The X Factor UK and it has been announced that Nathan will be supporting Little Mix on their 'Get Weird Tour' in 2016.

We feel Nathan Sykes could be the artist to represent the UK on a global scale in 2016.
 

 

Album Chart Battle This Week

After One Direction going up against Justin Bieber, Ben Haenow and Kylie Minogue, this week brings a new album chart battle between a comeback queen, an Australian beauty and amazing vocals from 6 Irish lads.

 Adele - 25

After hitting the number 1 spot in most countries worldwide with her single 'Hello', Adele has finally released her 3rd studio album '25'.
With her heavenly vocals and instrumentally driven tracks, Adele is on course to enter this weeks charts at number 1.
The album sold 300,000 copies in the UK and 600,000 copies in the US in the first 24 hours of its release!

All we can say is she is the comeback queen and everyone must remember that this talent singer is not to be messed with!

The album is now available everywhere!

Samantha Jade - Nine

She is the Australian pop princess who won The X Factor Australia season 4. After a successful debut album on Sony Music Australia, Samantha is now ready for everyone to hear what is next in her musical journey.
The album 'Nine' features the track 'Shake That' feat. Pitbull and is a great single to get you up and dancing.
The song has featured on British TV show The Only Way Is Essex and played all over radio stations.

With the announcement of Australia being in the Eurovision 2016, we are hoping that Samantha Jade will be representing our friends down under.

Hometown - Hometown

Ever since Louis Walsh announced he was going to put a 6 piece boy band together, we got very excited. The band ended up being called Hometown and have showcased their stunning vocals all over Ireland and the UK.
They already have 2 Irish number 1 singles to their name ('Where I Belong' and 'Cry For Help') and now they have released their debut album 'Hometown' to keep the buzz alive and to give their fans many more songs to enjoy.

With an Ireland and UK tour planned early 2016, all that needs to be asked is, where can we get our tickets from?

 
 

Shane Filan & Nadine Coyle

Friday 13th November saw somethink very special, very Irish and very amazing take place. Shane Filan (Westlife) and Nadine Coyle performed their song 'I Could Be' live on Children In Need 2015. The song features on Shane's new album 'Right Here' which has already topped the Irish charts and went to number 11 in the UK.

Little Mix - Get Weird

Little Mix has taken the world by storm ever since winning The X Factor UK (the first group to win). Now they are back with their 3rd album 'Get Weird' and early sales make it look like it is going to be another successful project for the ladies.
The album features the number 1 single 'Black Magic' and their song 'Love Me Like You'. It also has 'Grown' on it which made social media go crazy after their performance of it at Apple Festival where they were the support act for One Direction.
