[VIDEO PREMIERE] THE SATURDAYS "MY HEART TAKES OVER"

After releasing a preview of the video for The Saturdays latest single My Heart Takes Over, out pops the clip in full length. The track, with it's video shot in chilly Iceland, is the third to be taken from the girl group's upcoming third studio album On Your Radar.

With yet another Steve Mac production the girls are trying hard to lock in their first ever UK #1 single with My Heart Takes Over. Fans and bloggers alike are dubbing this track the best since the Chasing Lights era back in 2008, which coincidentally scored the girls their highest peaking single to date, Just Can't Get Enough, which peaked at #2 in the UK.

In the video the girls battle it out against the elements - wind, snow, rock formations, etc. All doing this whilst looking as fashionable as ever, of course.

Mt Heart Takes Over will be available from 6 November, a day prior to the release of On Your Radar [iTunes]

[VIDEO PREMIERE] KELLY ROWLAND "LAY IT ON ME" FEAT. BIG SEAN

X Factor UK judge and all-round music goddess Kelly Rowland has premiered the video for her new single, the track Lay It On Me featuring Big Sean.

The Esther Dean co-penned track follows on from Rowland's Billboard top twenty hit Motivation, and the David Guetta produced Commander from 2010. All tracks appear on Rowland's third studio album, Here I Am.

If you thought Rowland's performance in her Motivation video was sex-driven, the clip for Lay It On Me takes Rowland's sex appeal to another level. Telling us exactly what she wants us to do she oozes  over gorgeous god-like men, Suzy the elephant (!) and a silver slinky (!!)

Here I Am is available digitally today [iTunes]

ADELE TO RELEASE "RUMOUR HAS IT" AS FOURTH SINGLE FROM 21...?

Rumour has it that the fourth single to be lifted from Adele's outstanding sophomore album 21 will indeed be, Rumour Has It. The  track has already been released in the Netherlands as a single, and despite not officially being released elsewhere, it has made an appearance on various charts in the US and Canada.

This week the Ryan Tedder penned/produced song was the eighth most added track to commercial radio here in Australia... perhaps this is a sign...?

Rumour Has It is indeed a fan favourite, alongside the Gwyneth Paltrow covered Turning Tables (also penned by Tedder). Adele's current singles - Rolling In The Deep, Someone Like You and Set Fire To The Rain - are all still sitting comfortably in the top 20 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

Watch the new video for Someone Like You

Speaking of, 21 notches up an massive 21 weeks at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart this week and moves to seven-times platinum record sales (490,000+). Now that's impressive.

21 is available digitally today [iTunes]
