6 Singles You May Have Missed #2


A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about six singles that I loved that I hadn't yet written about, and hadn't been as popular as they probably deserved. So many times it's simply because you haven't heard the song yet. Well pop fans, this will now be a monthly column and a perfect chance to discover some music you may have missed.

Top 5 Songs: Jewel


Jewel is one of those artists that can break your heart. Her lyrics are like poetry and have this special ability to make you relate. I was listening to her back catalogue this week and was remembering how much I adore her music, so it felt the perfect time to celebrate the work of Jewel with a Top 5 list.

The Top 5 Australian Girl Groups


Girl groups are great, their music puts a massive smile on your face. Every few years, there seems to be a new group that rule the charts. The world again has some amazing girl groups catching the attention of the pop world. Both Britain's, "Little Mix" and the US's "Fifth Harmony" were both created via the X-Factor and have crossed over to be genuine stars. But where are the Australian girl groups?

Album Review: Confident - Demi Lovato


There are so many great artists releasing albums over the next few months that it may be hard to keep up with, but an album I knew I wasn't going to miss was the newie from Demi Lovato, "Confident", and I was not disappointed - this is an exceptional album from a lady with a truly special voice.

Top 5 Songs: NSYNC


Before Justin Timberlake was a megastar in his own right, he led one of the 90s best boybands, the one, the only, NSYNC. And wow, they had some amazing songs, pop gold. So it felt right to honour them this week with a Top 5 list.

Single of the Week: Disclosure featuring Lorde - Magnets


Sometimes songs have a way of working their way deep into your psyche. That's why this blog is called Internal Jukebox, because sometimes a song gets stuck on repeat and you have it stuck in your internal jukebox. This week that song was the new one from Disclosure featuring New Zealand's favourite daughter, Lorde. In fact, I had planned to have another song as my single of the week, but then I just couldn't escape this great tune, and knew it just had to be the single of the week.

The Top 20 Stock, Aitken & Waterman Songs


Stock, Aitken & Waterman made my high school years. While I may have gone to a fairly rough Western Sydney School and all my friends were discovering Guns 'n' Roses, Bon Jovi and still holding a torch for Cold Chisel; I was all about the poptastic produced hits of Stock, Aitken & Waterman.

Album Review: Revival - Selena Gomez


Selena Gomez is an artist I've always enjoyed, but it was always about the singles, I had never tried out one of her albums. So I thought it was time to check out her new album, "Revival", and what a great surprise, this is a brilliant album from an artist who is truly finding her voice.

Top 5 Songs: Garbage


Garbage were always an awesome act, a bit pop, a bit rock with a few other genres thrown in to make their sound brilliant, and they had so many amazing hits. With the re-release of their debut album to celebrate 20 years, it seemed the perfect time to honour them with a Top 5 list.

Single of the Week: Alive - Sia


When there's a brand spanking new Sia song, that is reason to celebrate - but when it's this good, there's extra reason to celebrate and to proudly make it our single of the week.

Top Ten Bond Songs


Bond. James Bond Themes. There's often as much excitement about the themes to the movies as there is about the films themselves. And they always attract major stars to record them. In a time when movie soundtracks really don't do as well as they used to, it's nice to see the Bond themes still as big as ever (the latest Sam Smith Bond Theme was last week number one in the UK). With the recent release of the latest Bond theme, it felt like the right time to look at my favourite Top Ten James Bond themes.

Album Review: Unbreakable - Janet Jackson


Janet is back (that's Ms Jackson if you're nasty), with her first new album in seven years and the result is an amazing return to form for one of the best female artists of all time.

Top 5 Songs: Salt 'n' Pepa


Salt 'n' Pepa's here and we're in effect! Indeed! The first ladies of hip-hop, Salt 'n' Pepa, are a group that I have always adored. Fresh and funky, the ladies knew how to release great tunes, so it is with great excitement that this week we celebrate their career with a Top 5 list of their best songs.

There is something magical about the work of Ms Jessica Mauboy, she continues to deliver solid song after song, and in preparation for her fourth album, she has again released a corker of a track, the brilliant, "This Ain't Love" - a song that had to be our single of the week.

Album Review: I Cry When I Laugh - Jess Glynne


With an album that features six hit singles, it was certainly time for the wondrous Jess Glynne to release her debut album, and what a great album it is. Pop it on, feel the beat, love the vocals and lose yourself in the music.
