This is a record of the ups and the downs; the struggles and the achievements; the laughter and the frustration and what it takes to break into The Industry...the radio industry that is.

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!
