Sure Shots Round 4

4. Deadmau5 - Sofi Needs a Ladder

Countdown to Air: 2-3 Weeks.  This one is a little tricky. Yes it does have some catchy vocals and a really great beat, but is it to much techno? I think that the best outcome for this particular song will be used as transitions and fill-in for live on-air mixes. That way they can use just the hook without the 2 minute intro. 

3. Flo Rida ft. Akon - Who Dat Girl?

Countdown to Air: 2-3 Weeks. This song, although it sounds exactly the same as every other Flo Rida song out there, it will still get massive amounts of air play. It’s just a matter of when to bring it into rotation seeing as Flo Rida has the song “Club Can’t Handle Me” out right now and it is doing very well. 

2. Taio Cruz ft. Kylie Minogue - Higher

Countdown to Air: 4-5 Weeks. I would love to say that this track is going to be played right away but like I mentioned in the clip Taio is still near the top of the charts with his song “Dynamite”. Once that comes down, this one will be added for sure.

1. David Guetta ft. Rihanna - Who’s That Chick?

Countdown to Air: 3-4 Weeks. Of all the songs this round, I want this one to be played immediately the most. Although I would deem this a pretty “safe” song (meaning nothing unique about it), there will be some stations that will hold out, again, because Rihanna has “Only Girl in the World” out right now and it’s rare to have more then one single out at a time.

Make sure to leave me a comment in the section below about what you thought about the audio version of this round of Sure Shots and also what songs that you think are going to become number ones!

Sarah Palin’s Alaska…

Yes, I was as surprised as you are that Sarah Palin is still even remotely relevant. Her new show Sarah Palin’s Alaska premiered on Sunday on TLC and I don’t think I have ever wanted someone to fall through a crack in a glacier more (In case you didn’t lose the button in the couch cushion and were to lazy to get up to change the channel, Sarah and her husband went hiking up a mountain that had a bunch of crevices (apparently pronounced: crev-asses) that they could fall in and die from). 

It’s obviously a show aimed at trying to make her seem more “real” and “relatable” in case she runs for El Presidente (don’t judge me on my horrible attempt at Spanish… I know it sounds better in my head). Basically the premise? Sarah acts as our travel guide and shows us all sides of Alaska, but for me it’s not about that at all. It’s about Palin going into potentially dangerous situations and me hoping for said dangerous situations to end her political career… oh wait she might have done that on her own, ZING!

No, but seriously, it’s awful HA! But in her defence it was TLC’s highest rated premiere show ever, with over 4.96 million views. My main question, now that she has thrown herself into the spotlight again, when will she answer the question on everyones mind? “How the hell did you come up with your kid’s names? Trig? Track? I mean really!”
