Jason Derulo finds his “It Girl” in the second single from his forthcoming album, Future History, that will be released September 27.
On the whistling, happy-go-lucky tune, Derulo croons to a lovely lady that he compares to his biggest hit. This track serves as the follow up to top 10 single “Don’t Wanna Go Home.”
Look for “It Girl” in the jukebox right now and make sure to rate it so we will know what you think!
Singer/songwriter Jason Derülo is back with a hot new single, “Don’t Wanna Go Home.”
The club-banger samples a few familiar tracks including “Get Low” by Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz when Derülo sings “from the window to the wall.” The chorus is in tune with Harry Belafonte’s “Day-O” as Derülo proclaims that “daylight come and we don’t wanna go home.”
This is Jason’s newest single since he released his hits “In My Head” and “Ridin’ Solo” from his self- titled debut album. “Don’t Wanna Go Home” will be featured on his new album Future History which Derülo just revealed the title for on his Facebook page. Future History is set to drop sometime in 2011.

This week was a half and half week for me at HitPredictor; there were just as many bad songs as there were good. I usually like to start off with my favorite for the week but I honestly did not have one song I felt passionate about. I did like the song “What If” by Jason Derulo. He has had some good pop songs but this song had a little more substance than usual and it made for a better song. I enjoyed “Move That Body” by Nelly feat. Akon and T-Pain. This collaboration is filled with hit makers and it really makes for a good club song. I think it will be a big hit.
There were other good songs in the jukebox as well. “We Radiate” by Goldfrapp was a pretty good dance tune. “Still Here” by Superchick was a fun pop song. “Underwear” by KaraMel was fun and had a good pop beat at first, but then it just got so poppy it was annoying. “Love 2012” by 30H!3 was just annoying techno music through and through. I’ve only liked a few of their songs and this is just not one of them.
“Sweet Serendipity” by Lee DeWyze is a very catchy song with good lyrics. It has a really good flow to it. “We R Who We R” leaves me even more confused about why people would ever listen to Ke$ha. The lyrics are terrible and her voice is just so freaking annoying. “Pretty Girl Rock” by Keri Hilson had a great beat, a little pretentious but it’s a good song in the end. “Give a Little More” by Maroon 5 is one of the best songs on their album and should definitely be their next hit. I really love this group because they honestly never let me down.
So that’s it people. What were your favorites and total dislikes for the week?
Hey HP!
Well, it’s been another week of good and bad music. Let’s just start with the bad, get it over with, and work our way up. I did not like the new Nelly song, “Move That Body” (feat. TPain and Akon). I thought it was an awful follow-up single to “Just A Dream” (which was an awesome song). I also did not like “Love 2012” by 3OH!3 I actually haven’t liked many of their songs since “Don’t Trust Me.” I also didn’t like Maroon 5’s new single, “Give a Little More,” I expect better from them. Another song I really didn’t like was the new Ke$ha single, “We R Who We R.” Guess what, it sounds exactly like all her other songs (and the lyrics are really stupid).
I usually really like Jason Derulo songs and I thought “What If” was okay. I thought the new Buckcherry song, “Dead,” was okay too. I also liked K’Naan’s “Bang Bang,” very catchy! I think Keri Hilson’s “Pretty Girl Rock” will be a hit; but I personally wasn’t a big fan of the song. I really liked the Disturbed song “Animal” in the jukebox; it was nice to hear something new from them. It was also nice to hear new music from Seal, with his new single “If I’m Any Closer.” He seems to be trying to go back to his better days (“Kiss from a Rose” era). Don’t worry about the past few years dude, you are married to Heidi Klum = you still win!
I liked Lee DeWyze’s new single, “Sweet Serendipity” – and that’s coming from a Crystal Bowersox fan! I like his sound in this song and I like the lyrics. I loved the new Jewel single, “No Good in Goodbye” and I hope it becomes a huge hit. I also really liked Superchick’s “Still Here.” I have always loved their music and I thought this song had to be in the jukebox.
That’s all for this week; but tune in next week for the review of the new Taryn Manning single, “Spotlight”, which Taryn is sending to Resolution Radio TODAY! I will also have plenty of other songs to rate, and things to say! If you want to get to know me better, shoot me an e-mail at hewitt_fanatic@musician.org!

Eminem is the king of the charts again this week after re-securing the Billboard 200 and continuing to hold on at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna, for the fifth straight week.
Katy Perry also hit a milestone this week, according to Billboard, as she became the 10th solo female in the Hot 100’s 52-year history to concurrently record two titles in the top five as the lead artist. This week “California Gurls” comes in at No. 3 on the chart, and “Teenage Dream” squeaks in at No. 5. Her newest track “Circle the Drain” – which many of you rated this week at HitPredictor – came in at No. 58 – do you think it will chart much higher?

Do you have any of these songs on your favorite playlist right now?
Hey HP!
My name is Lilly, and I am the Owner/DJ of Resolution Radio! I am also a writer and I’ve always been told I have a good ear for music; so we will see how this goes! I made a deal with HitPredictor that I would come on here about once a week or so and give my opinions on the hottest songs of the week (according to Billboard Hot 100) and also give my predictions on some of the songs currently in the HitPredictor Jukebox (as of the writing of this blog).
First off, let’s start with the Billboard Hot 100 this week: I love “Love The Way You Lie” by Eminem and Rihanna – I think it’s a great song with very real lyrics. I can’t imagine anyone else singing it besides Rihanna (she puts feeling into the song because she has lived through it). I am not a big fan of “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz (sorry!). It’s an OK song; but I’m just not feeling it. I love “California Gurls” – another hit for Katy Perry! I still love “Airplanes” and it’s actually probably one of my favorite songs of the year! So far I have liked every single that Jason Derulo has released, and “Ridin’ Solo” is no exception – I think it’s a great song that everyone can relate to. Taylor Swift debuted at No. 3 this week, and though I am not a big fan of the song “Mine”, it might grow on me later. Oh, and I like Mike Posner’s “Cooler Than Me”; but so far it’s the only song of his that I like.
Now, onto the songs currently in the HitPredictor jukebox (only reviewing some): I like some Usher songs; but not really feeling “Hot Tottie”; but I am sure it will be a hit because it’s Usher and Jay-Z. So far I am really liking Tino Coury’s sound and songs – I am hoping he will be a big star someday; because he definitely has the look and talent. 30 Seconds to Mars’ song “Closer To The Edge” is OK; but I don’t think it will be as big of a hit as their previous songs. I don’t like the new Weezer song “Memories” at all. Let me just say, SoundGarden will NEVER have a better song than “Black Hole Sun” and I don’t think “Black Rain” will even be a huge hit. I think “Just Let Go” by Reina is a good techno-type of song and it might do pretty well on the dance charts – a lot of people like those club type of songs. I think my favorite song currently in the jukebox is “Just a Dream” by Nelly – I think it’s such a great song and I see it being a HUGE hit. I also really like “Body Shots” by Kaci Battaglia – I really think she is underrated. I also think Justin Bieber’s new song, “U Smile” will be a huge hit because teenage girls still exist in this world :). And that’s it for this week; but I will see y’all next week with more songs!
If you want to get to know me better; head over to the Resolution Radio Web site and say Hi! We seriously do play the best music on the Net!
Until then, see you later and thanks for reading! – Lilly
Taylor Swift comes out swinging with her new single “Mine” but it wasn’t quite enough to dethrone Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie,” from the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Billboard reports the country star’s new single came in at No. 3 in its debut week, making Swift only the second female artist in the history of the Hot 100 to debut multiple tracks in the top 5 during the calendar year. Swift’s “Today Was a Fairytale,” debuted at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart dated Feb. 6. The only other female artist to have done so is Mariah Carey who at two tracks “Fantasy,” and “One Sweet Day,” open at No. 1 in 1995.
The rest of the Hot 100 top 10 includes:
Do you have any of these songs on repeat this week? If not, what singles have you been listening to?
Eminem has recorded another big week as not only does Recovery hold the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, but his single “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna maintains its peak at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a second straight week.
Billboard reports “Love The Way You Lie” earned the chart’s Airplay Gainer award for its fourth straight week, pushing it to No. 5 on Hot 100 Airplay, and holding on to the No. 1 standing on Digital Songs for a fifth week ever widening its points lead over Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” which it successfully bumped to No. 2 last week.
Billboard reports that Eminem is the first artist in the “digital age” to concurrently hold the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 and the Hot Digital Songs for five straight weeks.
The rest of the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 includes:
Of interest is Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” which came in at No. 20 in its first week of availability – are you a fan of this new song? Another new entry on the chart is Bruno Mars’ first solo single “Just The Way You Are,” a song several members have tipped off as having great potential, so definitely one we’re looking to get in the jukebox soon!
Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg continues to hold No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for its sixth straight week.
However, Billboard predicts it may be Perry’s last week on top since Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna, this week’s No. 2 on the Hot 100, is also the chart’s Airplay Gainer for a second straight week, which puts it in line to take over the top spot next week.
The rest of the Hot 100 Top 10 includes:
Which of these songs have you been listening to on repeat this week?
How long can she hold onto the No. 1 position on the Hot 100? Well that’s a question that won’t be answered until – at earliest – next week as Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” extends its run on the top of the Hot 1oo to five weeks, with Billboard reporting that airplay for Perry’s first single off the forthcoming Teenage Dream is still continuing to build.
Perry and Snoop Dogg were able to fend off the huge leap Eminem made with “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna, which blasted in at No. 2 last week and held steady at that position. Billboard reports that most download-fueled top 10 debuts (such as this one) normally slip in their second week on the list, but that Eminem’s new track hardly dropped its download numbers at all. Another interesting tidbit on the Detroit-based rapper is that his first single from Recovery, “Not Afraid” moved back into the top 10 this week, giving Em simultaneous top 10s for the first time in his career.
The rest of the Hot 100 top 10 includes:
Do you have any of these tracks on heavy rotation? Or, are there any you think are getting too MUCH airplay?
Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg has held on to the throne at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth straight week. Billboard reports the summer anthem has also earned the Airplay Gainer award for the third straight week.
It will be fun to see if she can pull of another week as Eminem’s collaboration with Rihanna “Love the Way You Lie” from his new album Recovery stormed the chart coming in at No. 2 on the Hot 100. Will it continue to gain steam next week to usurp “California Gurls”?
The rest of the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 includes:
Other notable debuts in the Hot 100 this week are songs that many of our HitPredictor members have recently voted on including Selena Gomez & The Scene’s “Round & Round,” which debuted at No. 24, Maroon 5’s “Misery” which came in at No. 44, and Sara Bareilles’ “King of Anything” which came in at No. 59.
Do you have any of these songs in a current playlist? If so, which ones?
The hot, young Atlanta-based rapper B.o.B has locked in a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 100 with his debut single, “Nothin’ on You” featuring Bruno Mars.
But that’s not the only song B.o.B is charting in the top 10 as his track “Airplanes” featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore, lands in the No. 9 slot after its debut last week at No. 12.
The rapper’s debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, was just released Tuesday, and is a front-runner for the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 next week.

Which of these tracks do you have in heavy rotation on your iPod?
Atlanta rapper B.o.B has broken Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” stranglehold of the No. 1 slot of the Billboard 100, moving up to the top of the chart with his debut single “Nothin’ On You,” featuring Bruno Mars.
According to Billboard.com, this makes B.o.B the fourth male vocalist since October to reach the top of the chart with a debut track as Jay Sean, Jason Derulo, and Taio Cruz have done so within the past six months.
But don’t think that’s the end of B.o.B for this week, as he also scored the chart’s Hot Shot Debut as “Airplanes” featuring Paramore’s Haley Williams lands at No. 12 in its first week! B.o.B also released another track this week, “Bet I” which industry prognosticators anticipate breaking into the Hot 100 next week. The Atlanta rapper’s debut album, “B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray,” is scheduled to drop next Tuesday, April 27.

Billboard also reported on a number of notable debuts to the Hot 100 this week – here’s a quick rundown. Christina Aguilera’s first single, “Not Myself Tonight” from her upcoming Bionic album entered the hot 100 at No. 23, which is the singer’s third-highest Hot 100 debut.
FOUR singles from the Glee Cast, performed during the April 13 episode of the wildly popular Fox series, made it into the Hot 100 this week. The covers of “Gives You Hell” (The All-American Rejects), “Hello” (Lionel Richie), “Hello Goodbye” (The Beatles), and “Hello, I Love You” (The Doors) entered the chart at No. 32, 35, 49, and 66 respectively. Billboard reports that since the start of 2009, the cast of Glee has posted more chart entries – 29 in total – than any other act!
Which songs do you currently have on a heavy rotation on your iPod?
Rihanna retains her reign at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fifth straight week with “Rude Boy.” B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You” featuring Bruno Mars holds steady at No. 2, unable to dethrone Rihanna.
“Nothin’ On You” did take the chart Airplay Gainer this week, with an increase of 11 million listener impressions according to Billboard.com.
The rest of the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 include:
It’s worth noting that Usher’s “OMG” is only its second week on the chart, and is Usher’s 15th top 10 hit. According to Billboard.com, Usher hasn’t had a song break the top 10 this quickly since 1998 when “Nice & Slow” debuted at No. 9.
Are you hooked on any of these songs?
