Chase and Status - No More Idols

2011 will bring us many exciting events and music releases. (Including my 18^th) But by far the biggest release next year will be Chase & Status’s second album “No More Idols”. This album has the potential to blow the previous record “More Than A Lot” right out of the water.

In the time that it has been released, “More Than A Lot” gained two singles in the UK charts, and peaked at number 49 in the album chart. “Pieces” featuring Plan B got to number 1 in the UK Dance charts. However, on a whole, this album did not get much publicity and will remain as one of the most underrated albums of the century.

Things are now looking up for the two piece from London. “Let you go” featuring Mali reached number eleven in the charts, “End Credits” featuring Plan B reached ninth in the UK singles chart and “Hypest Hype” featuring Tempa T has not yet charted, having only being released this week. As you may have noticed, Chase & Status do not sing and require guests to come sing their lyrics. Well now they have hit the big time. DIZZIE RASCAL features on their next single, "Heavy".

It’s finally time that Chase & Status to stand up and receive the credit they deserve. I’ll hold my hands up and say it’s one of the best albums I have heard in recent times; so it’s hard to believe when I say that they sound even better live. X

My Chemical Romance - Danger Days

My Chemical Romance are expected to release their fourth album, 'Danger Days', on the 22nd of November. Thing is, can they really follow up the MASSIVE success of their previous album 'The Black Parade'?

As of October 2010, the album had sold over 1,610,000 copies in the US. There is no clear estimate of how many copies were sold worldwide; and this figure also doesn't include the number of copies that have been illegally downloaded. The album got so big, that during the 'Black Parade Tour', they played over 130 gigs, over a period of 18months and is longest tour the band have ever played.

So can 'Danger Days' top that act?

Early indications show that the signs are good for Gerard Way and the gang. One FORMER critic of the band came out and said, "rock has been in a decline for many years now, but with the way Gerard Way's voice syncs with the guitars, rock isn't giving up yet!" NME's Dan Martin said the song "rooted in the here and now, with the most simple pop song refrain rebooted as nothing less than a generational call to arms".

I wish them the best of luck and I can assure you that when it is released, it will be waiting for me in my iTunes, prepared to be played again and again and again for a long time to come. X
