Britney Spears is back! After giving us more of her pieces, breaking the ice and whatsoever - she’s up with her new and improved Radar. Well, that is actually the title of the new single of the most celebrated pop icon. Radar by Britney Spears will surely be rocking the hit charts, just like what her Gimme More did before.
As of this post, the top three fastest climbing songs in terms of playlist rotation are:
This data is based on the playlist of all the major market Top 40 stations in the United States. It’s not surprising to know that most of these songs are rhythmic.
Jonas Brothers’ Burning Up has just premiered, but thanks to the fan-fueled publicity it’s now enjoying high rotations. The Jonas Brothers are going the same track as Jesse McCartney is going right now. It seems that pop rock artists are going into more rhythmic songs now. Jesse’s trying to sound like a Chris Brown. Now Jonas Brothers want to sound like Justin Timberlake?!
PCD is still doing great in iTunes, hitcharts and playlist. The infectious song definitely is worth its current position.
Rihanna’s Disturbia should supposedly be earning more rotations since it came out ahead of the Jonas Bros’ new hit. Disturbia again is another big dance track. Reminds you of how Rihanna moved the world with Don’t Stop The Music. Click here to listen for yourself.
That’s about it now for the latest updates in the world of radio playlists. Check out for more updates.

From People
The Jonas Brothers, action heroes? Just call them Bonds – James Bonds.
The video for “Burning Up,” their first single from their upcoming CD A Little Bit Longer , debuted today with a bang – literally.
In the video, Nick Jonas fights bad guys and dodges danger as a James Bond-style villain while Kevin does kung fu and Joe sports a mustache playing a Miami Vice clone.
Fellow Disney star Selena Gomez – who has been dubbed the next Miley Cyrus – makes a cameo as Nick’s Bond girl, and actors Danny Trejo and David Carradine also make appearances.
Even the group’s bodyguard, Rob, is in on the act – grabbing the microphone and rapping a few lines as the group sings poolside.
A Little Bit Longer debuts August 12th and the trio’s made-for-TV movie, Camp Rock premieres Friday night on the Disney channel.
Their single from the Camp Rock soundtrack, “Play My Music,” is currently the sixth most downloaded song on iTunes.
Star FM Iligan and Cagayan de Oro had already stopped airing. Sandy 101, an NBC station in the same market, had also ceased operating. By Monday, June 23, 2008 another radio station is signing off for good. So long, Killerbee Butuan. It will be the first Killerbee to close shop. Too bad, we see nothing wrong with the product, how could a station manager possibly shutdown such a sellable format?
Hey walking hit charts! Time to freshen up your pods. Here are the latest must-download mp3s.
This is not really a Top Ten of something. Just a random thought on what radio stations and your iPods should be playing right now. But intentionally, we put Jonas Brothers at the top since we realize the massiveness of its popularity. The songs premiers today on US radio stations. And most likely it will be another iTunes hit.
The emo thingy is back again, in fact, it’s never gone. We especially like Boys Like Girl’s new single called Thunder, just very emo-ish! And another emo-emo stuff is Secondhand Serenade’s Fall For You.
Among the rhythmic tracks, Bust It Baby by Plies sounds good and it’s a potential hit! In The Ayer isn’t picking up yet. PCD’s When I Grow Up is getting a lot of attention and publicity. Credit that to Britney Spears’ cameo for the video of that song.
Sara Barreilles’ Bottle It Up is a follow up to her Love Song.
Get ‘em now!
From the same guy who gave you Low, comes another smashing danceable hip-hop tune called In The Ayer. In The Ayer as in “in the air” features BEP stars Fergie and Will.I.Am. Check out the recently out music video.

Charice Pempengco needs a label, no, not a recording label. She needs to be tagged, with all this exposure she’s taking, she should be named like something. What do you think is a good label for her? Everyone knows that she’s rising a star now. Internet Star, The YouTube Diva, the Whitney Houston clone? What?
Charice recently sang a new version of DZMM’s Station ID following the trails of Sharon Cuneta, Gary Valenciano, Sheryn Regis and Carol Banawa. DZMM exec Peter Musngi is delighted to have Charice singing their jingles which really made a good impression as listeners texted in their positive feedback.
Here is the report from ABS-CBN.com:
By REYMA BUAN-DEVEZA
abs-cbnNEWS.comIf you think the voice behind the latest version of DZMM Radyo Patrol Sais Trenta’s radio jingle sounds familiar, you’re right. It is familiar.
Because the voice behind that song is no other than international singing sensation Charice.
In an exclusive interview with Peter Musngi, ABS-CBN’s vice-president for Manila Radio Division (MRD), he said they decided to get Charice to sing the station’s jingle specifically to get the attention of young listeners.
“We are hoping that the young listeners will notice at baka sakaling ‘yon ang maging susi para ma-introduce sila sa DZMM,” Musngi said.
“Alam mo naman ang mga bata, nasa FM or nasa iPod ‘yan. But if they hear Charice singing the DZMM anthem, number one, they might be curious to find out why is DZMM the choice AM station of Charice in terms of lending her singing talent. Number two, maybe this is more important Charice actually is showing the way for all the other teenagers na you can, you know with talent and perseverance you can be a big success even you are so young,” DZMM’s big boss added.
Musngi said that after all the honors Charice gained from her international guestings abroad, it would be just right to give the young singer a chance to shine in her own country and be heard by almost everybody through DZMM’s anthem.
“Si Charice is very hot right now and I think what happened to her in Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah I think and [her guesting for the concert] in Las Vegas it brings a lot of honor or at least it put the Philippines in the center of entertainment kumbaga when it comes to talent. And I feel ‘yung mga accomplishments na ganoon especially with very young girl should be publicized and the same talent should be given a chance to shine. Dumating na siya sa punto na kahit bata pa siya ay malaking impact na ang nagawa niya so we thought that let’s try,” he said.
Musngi said he is thankful to Malou Santos of Star Records who did the arrangement for Charice to record the station’s anthem. He said they were delighted when Charice accepted their request. The song was recorded last Thursday, April 29, and after almost three weeks of preparations it was finally aired midnight of June 1, Sunday, over radio DZMM.
Her best
Meanwhile, a business development Officer of MRD, who declined to be named, also said that Charice gave her best recording the song despite the fact that the young star was really tired from her shows abroad.
“Nakuha niya agad at mabilis ang pagkuha niya sa kanta, hindi naman siya nagko-complain pero sabi nga niya mataas yung areglo ng kanta, actually medyo paos siya ng nag-record s’ya kaya nagulat kami na she did it. And before she went to recording alam na niya na for DZMM… the recording was okay and for me it’s malinis, malakas, very powerful and anthemic.”
Charice arrived in Manila last Wednesday, May 28, from her well-praised performance at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas five days earlier for record producer David Foster’s benefit show, entitled “David Foster & Friends”.
Last Friday, May 30, Charice again left the country to attend Philippine Independence Day Parade in New York.
Musngi said that every year, they are search for talents who can give the DZMM anthem a new sound and a new energy and evidently they found it with the young diva. He said that they made the right decision to use the singing prowess of the young diva since they already receiving feedbacks from listeners through short messages saying that they like the newest station ID.
“Yung mga medyo bata-bata pa sabi na mabuti naman at si Charice ang napili niyo. Ano kasi yan Charice is not a superstar or megastar pero alam mo na she’s really rising and she achieved so much siguro thanks to the internet kasi doon siya nadiskubre but she’s really a talented.
Gratis
Musngi said they are really thankful to Charice, who, like the other great singers opted to share her talent through her rendition of DZMM’s anthem free of charge.
“The fact is napaka-busy ni Charice para isingit niya yan ibig sabihin she’s ready and excited to do it, sa totoo lang hindi namin binayaran si Charice para din si Sharon, Gary ‘yung mga kumanta na namabibigay na artists na ito they never asked for anything siguro alam nila na DZMM is not only just about news but also about public service,” Musngi said.
Musngi revealed that right now, DZMM is getting another male singer that will do a duet with Charice. He also said that DZMM’s anniversary CD compilation feature song rendition from different anchors and personalities. They will also include the version of Charice, he added.
The DZMM theme was first heard in 2005. It was composed by Jessie Lasaten and sang by Reuben Laurente, a former member of the music group The CompanY.
After Laurente’s rendition of the station’s anthem, great singers like Sheryn Regis, Rachelle Ann Go and Carol Banawa also sang the song.
When DZMM celebrated its 20th Anniversary at the Araneta Coliseum in 2006, the jingle was given a different twist when Megastar Sharon Cuneta sang her rendition.
Nope, it’s not the iFM in the Philippines, it’s WAOI FM in San Antonio, Texas. The station, which bears the iFM logo, now has its jingle package syndication of LiteHouse Studios posted on the Jones TM website. LiteHouse Studios is a production company that specializes in AC radio jingle imaging. Along with iFM jingle resings are station montages for KVIL, WBIZ and many others.
