CARLY RAE JEPSEN TO RELEASE "TONIGHT I'M GETTING OVER YOU" AS NEXT SINGLE

Canadian pop star Carly Rae Jepsen has confirmed that the third single to be lifted from her current album "Kiss" is the Lukas Hilbert and Max Martin-produced gem "Tonight I'm Getting Over You."

Co-written by Jepsen and the production team, the track is a euro-pop infused track not to dissimilar to "This Kiss," which failed commercially in comparison to the success of the worldwide hit "Call Me Maybe."

Yesterday the star updated her Facebook page about the upcoming video: "Big News! I am in LA this weekend filming the music video for my new single... "Tonight I'm Getting Over You!"

Take a listen to the track below.

"Kiss" was released 14 September [iTunes]

ARIA REVEAL THEIR TOP 100 SINGLES AND ALBUMS FOR 2012

ARIA, the Australian Recording Industry Association, have revealed their top 100 singles and albums for 2012. The charts, which we re released this morning, provide a list based on the total sales of singles and albums across Australia for the year.

We thought we'd take a look at what fabulous pop representation there was in the singles mix, to celebrate the year which was dominated by quite a lot of good music (and of course, some really bad music). But first, let's take a look at the top ten:

Coming in at #1 for the year we have Carly Rae Jepsen's smash "Call Me Maybe." The track, which achieved a 8x platinum-selling status (for over 560,000 copies sold) beat Psy's "Gangnam Style" to the summit. Coming in at #3 was the highest selling single by an Australian artist, Guy Sebastian, with his 7x platinum-selling single "Battle Scars" featuring Lupe Fiasco.

US rapper Flo Rida secured the next two spots with his hits "Whistle" and "Wild Ones," with Nicki Minaj's annoyingly-catchy "Starships" locked in at #6. Australia's Got Talent winners Justice Crew earned their stripes at #7 with "Boom Boom," and Birdy's surprise hit "Skinny Love," riding on the success of Bella Feraro's X Factor Australia performance, came in at #8.

Rounding off the top ten we have the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' hit "Thrift Shop" and Swedish House Mafia's send-off "Don't You Worry Child" at #9 and #10 respectively.

10. Flight Facilities - With You (feat. Grovesnor)

After the success of "Crave You" and "Foreign Language" in 2011, Australian house outfit Flight Facilities returned in 2012 with yet another hit "With You."

Grosvenor's vocals ooze sexiness and desire as he begs his mistress "I just can't be seen by you..." The track is a classic chill-out house number that like their previous material, is a perfect summer jam.

9. Ricki-Lee - Do It Like That

Calling on the #NoPantsBrigade! Australia's own diva Ricki-Lee, somewhat rising from the ashes, unveiled her killer anthem "Do It Like That" following last year's "Raining Diamonds." The jam, which originally leaked under the critically-acclaimed Fred Falke remix, instantly became one of the most addictive tracks on radio.

"Do It Like That" saw Ricki-Lee embrace everything we wanted her to - sexiness, freedom and God damn brilliant pop music. An excellent return to the scene girlfriend!

8. fun. - Some Nights

New York City-based fun. launched their second single, the album's title track, earlier in the year post the belated worldwide success of "We Are Young" (feat. Janelle Monáe). The track became yet another massive hit for the group, cementing lead singer Nate Ruess as a key songwriter in the current age.

Probably the stand out from their album, it was a strong contender across the year - regardless of it's over-play on commercial radio!

7. Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

The track that took the world by storm would have to be none other than Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." After the unofficial endorsement by Justin Bieber via his Twitter account, people started to notice (and get slightly addicted) to the ex-Canadian Idol's latest jam.

"Call Me Maybe" is an easy, fun, pop song. That's it - it's simple and effective. And did we mention slightly addictive?

6. Matt Corby - Brother

It's hard to believe that it was five years ago when we met a young, fresh-faced 16 year-old Matt Corby on Australian Idol. Now, the 22 year-old is one of Australia's most successful recording artists signed to UK record label Communion (started by Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons)... with four EPs under his belt.

"Brother" is a highly emotional and provocative song. Corby belts out the tune with all his passion and might, captivating any listener upon first engagement. An outstanding release from the "Into the Flame" EP.

5. Marina and the Diamonds - Primadonna

The part Welsh/part Greek beauty that is Marina and the Diamonds (aka Marina Diamandis) teased us with the Stargate-produced "Radioactive" in 2011 - a journey to a pop stratosphere that we'd not heard from the star before. Moving far away from her indie-pop roots we discovered on "The Family Jewels," Marina introduced us to her alter-ego, Electra Heart.

"Electra Heart," as it be named her sophomore album, revealed "Primadonna" as the lead single. Produced by Dr Luke and Cirkut, it became her highest-selling single yet - achieving platinum selling status here in Australia. 

"Primadonna" saw Marina's #Diamonds embrace the new pop star and her obsession with American culture. Throughout this transition though, has the beauty not just become what she mocks the most?

4. Azealia Banks - 212 (feat. Lazy Jay)

Already topping a range of 'best of' and 'up and comer' lists late 2011, Azealia Banks was always going to be someone to listen out for. "212" was released as the lead single from her "1991" EP - and what a debut track. Lyrically coarse (we'll let you Google the lyrics if you don't know them), it certainly turned some heads and meant this girl meant biz-nes.

Throughout the year we were treated to clips for all four tracks off the EP, but "212" still reigned supreme. A hip-hop track that will stand the test of music time, one that only Nicki Minaj could hope for.

- - - -



3. Calvin Harris - Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch)

Just when you thought nothing could get better than the Calvin Harris remix of Florence and the Machine's hit "Spectrum," out Flo and the new David Guetta pop "Sweet Nothing."

Welch's vocals and Harris' progressive house beats are a match made in heaven - making it hard to resist this impeccable tune. One of the stand out tracks, if not the best, from Harris's "18 Months" album.

2. Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans

Released as the third single taken from her "Born To Die" album, "Blue Jeans" was a surprising single choice - mainly because it featured so prominently as a highlight of the "Video Games" b-side late 2011. Regardless, Del Rey pushed forward with the release.

Accompanying the official single release was the Yoann Lemoine-directed video, who also worked with Del Rey on "Born To Die." The black and white affair was a stunning visual and a must-see for all.

"Blue Jeans" is classic Lana Del Rey - vintage American, James Dean-esque, love.

1. Frank Ocean - Pyramids

The second single to be lifted from Frank Ocean's critically acclaimed album "Channel Orange" was that of epic proportions. "Pyramids," in it's almost-ten-minute glory, tells us of multiple stories - with the most obvious being about a woman "working at the pyramid tonight."

The track features a mix of R&B and hip-hop, with electro club beats and a John Mayer-led guitar solo thrown in for good measure. "Pyramids" showcases Ocean's brilliant ability to tell a story through his outstanding writing skills, in a track that will be listed as a classic for years to come. A very worthy recipient of our number one single for 2012.

CARLY RAE JEPSEN PREMIERES "THIS KISS" VIDEO

Carly Rae Jepsen can only hope that she can emulate the success of "Call Me Maybe" this year. The 26 year-old pop star and past Canadian Idol winner has premiered the video for the latest track, taken from her sophomore album, the dance-fused track "This Kiss."

[VIDEO PREMIERE] OWL CITY AND CARLY RAE JEPSEN "GOOD TIME"

Owl City (aka Adam Young) and Carly Rae Jepsen have premiered the video for "Good Time." The track is the second single to be taken from Owl City's fourth studio album "The Midsummer Station," out in August.

The track has already peaked at #6 in Australia, and hit the top twenty in both Canada and the US. Being released on August 9 in the UK, we expect it'll also do quite well there (on the back of "Call Me Maybe" going number one almost everywhere!)
