'In Case You Didn't Know' who is currently sitting at the top of the Official UK Albums Top 100 Chart this week...

It's none other than...
Congrats Olly! You deserve the top spot!
Now you can go on with your life once again. But if you ever find yourself in an awkward social situation, at least you can tell them, "Did you know that Olly Murs knocked off Rihanna off the top spot and got the Number 1 album in the UK?"
There you go.
You can now be 'coooool' and watch his music video.
(But since Vevo decides to be a prick, you might have to watch it on YouTube instead.)

Because creating a playlist for someone can be quite taxing. You can't just put all of your favorite songs into a list and hope that the person you're giving it to will love it. You've got to make sure that every song will flow seamlessly with the next track. You've got to make sure that you limit it to 15 - 20 songs max. (There's a reason why every album only has that amount of songs! And it's definitely not because of the lack of space!)
I've created playlists for friends, family… but mostly for myself. And I've always envisioned myself creating a playlist for someone special in my life.
So hello to my future partner out there, this playlist is for you. I don't know when or how I'll be meeting you but I hope when that day happens, you'll eventually find this playlist of mine and I hope you enjoy it. (I sound a bit psychotic, er I know.)

2. I Want You To Want Me - Brooke Elliott
3. Fallin' For You - Colbie Caillat
4. Please Don't Let Me Go - Olly Murs
5. If You're Not The One - Daniel Beddingfield
6. Do You Remember - Aaron Carter
7. A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

It has been four years since R&B Songstress, Kelly Rowland, last released her sophomore album, Ms. Kelly, and here she is, finally, all geared up for her latest offering come July 26th.
Despite all of the countless push backs and delays, Kelly Rowland pretty much had a fantastic year going for her ever since she danced her way to the top of the UK Charts with 'When Love Takes Over', a track she collaborated with DJ David Guetta back in 2010. Since then, she has been producing a string of Top 10 hits in the UK (Commander, Forever And A Day & What A Feeling) and her success has earned her a position as a judge in The X Factor UK.
Her previous efforts may not be worth mentioning with the exception of 'Dilemma' and after much experimentation, Kelly Rowland has finally found her distinctive sound in the industry. Gone are the days when Kelly used to live in the shadows of Beyonce, her ex-bandmate from Destiny's Child.
Unlike her past efforts that did nothing but bore me to death, 'Here I Am' has the perfect blend of Soul, R&B and Dance music and features a different side of Kelly. She's a much more confident singer this time 'round as she sings on the album-opener, 'I'm Dat Chick', on which she brags "Yeah I be the one that they love to mention." But she's still as sexy and sensual as ever (I still can't get over her provocative music video for her hit single, 'Motivation') and her vocals never sounded this good before.
'Here I Am' is filled with plenty of great tracks that's bound to keep you listening to the album over and over again. I love songs with a great piano hook and that's probably the reason why I fell in love with the track 'Feeling Me Right Now' almost instantly, in which she sings about falling in the club and realizing her self-worth. Really interesting lyrics, Miss Kelly. Though this song could easily be mistaken about Kelly singing about another girl she met at a club. She sings in the beginning, "Oh you're just my type, baby" and that kinda scares me a bit.
Feeling Me Right Now. My new sexy jam.
All in all, this is a perfect album. The addition of Commander and Down For Whatever (Feat. The WAV.s) may be awkward on paper, but it seems to mix seamlessly with the rest of the other tracks in the album. I'm not gonna complain. Though if I had the choice, I'd replace Big Sean with Missy Elliot on the track, 'Lay It On Me'. It's still good. But why settle for good when you can get something that is brilliant?
Go get Kelly Rowland's 'Here I Am' album (July 26th) 'cos right now she commands you to! I know I'll definitely be getting my copy! And hopefully Kelly Rowland finally gets the success she deserves with this release.
Other standout tracks: Down For Whatever (Feat. The WAV.s), All Of The Night (Feat. Rico Love), Lay It On Me (Feat. Big Sean)

This song is all kinds of amazing.
Who saysI'm now a fan. I love songs like this. Such a feel-good kinda song that is all about accepting who you really are as a person and the fact that you are beautiful in your own way, no matter what other people say. Because you are worth it. Love yourself.
Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
