Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khalifa - Payphone
I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby, it’s all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
Yeah, I, I know it’s hard to remember
The people we used to be
It’s even harder to picture
That you’re not here next to me
You say it’s too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in that time that you wasted
All of our bridges burnt down
I’ve wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I’m paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby, it’s all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I’ll be sick
[Verse 2: Adam Levine]
You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can’t expect me to be fine
I don’t expect you to care
I know I said it before
But all of our bridges burnt down
I’ve wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I’m paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby, it’s all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I’ll be sick
Now I’m at a payphone…
[Verse 3: Wiz Khalifa]
Man, fuck that shit
I’ll be out spending all this money
While you sitting around wondering
Why it wasn’t you who came up from nothing
Made it from the botton
Now when you see me I’m stuntin’
And all cars start with the push of a button
Telling me the changed since I blew up or whatever you call it
Switched the number to my phone so you never could call it
Don’t need my name on my shirt, you can tell that I’m ballin’
Swish, what a shame, coulda got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could’ve saw
But sad to say it’s over for it
Phantom pull up, valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now it’s me who they they want
So you can go and take that little piece of shit with you
I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby, it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I’ll be sick
Now I’m at a payphone…

Fun. featuring Janelle Monae

We Are Young van Fun. featuring Janelle Monae stijgt op 12 mei 2012 in de tiende week van 11 naar 7. De single werd uitgebracht op 20 september 2011. Het is de eerste single van Fun.'s tweede album Some Nights. Janelle Monáe werd gevraagd om mee te zingen, omdat ze een vriendin is van de producent Jeff Bhasker. De single werd in de VS een hit door de televisieserie Glee. Ook Chevrolet gebruikte het nummer voor een reclamespot tijdens Super Bowl. De single haalde al #1 in de Verenigde Staten, Canada, Australië, Ierland en Israël. Hitstanden in Nederland waren tot nu toe: 34-33-31-38-35-37-28-19-11-7. Op 30 juni 2012 stijgt de track in de 17e week terug de top 10 in.

Fun. bestaat uit zanger Nate Ruess, pianist-basgitarist Andrew Dost en gitarist-drummer Jack Antonoff. De band wilde een naam die kort en to the point is. Eerst kwam 'ice-cream' op. Dat zou volgens hen de slechtste naam ooit zijn, maar je wordt wel blij van het woord. Zo kwamen ze op Fun.. Het geeft je een goed gevoel. Fun. schrijf je met een punt erachter, omdat er al een andere formatie is die 'Fun' heet. Zij vroegen of de band iets aan de naam kon veranderen.

Janelle Monáe werd geboren als Janelle Monáe Robinson op 1 december 1985 in Kansas City. 

Fun. featuring Janelle Monae - We Are Young
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight

Gusttavo Lima stijgt op 5 mei 2012 van 34 naar 3 met Balada. Het is zijn eerste hit in Nederland. In Vlaanderen werd de #1 notering al bereikt.

De tekst en muziek zijn niet van zijn hand, maar van Cássio Sampaio. Balada betekent letterlijk feest in het Portugees. Een korte samenvatting van de songtekst: "Schat bel me, want er is een feest vanavond. En ik wil er samen met jou tot in de late uurtjes van genieten. Dansen en springen totdat de zon opkomt. Gusttavo Lima en jij."

Nivaldo Batista Lima werd geboren op 3 september 1989 in Presidente Olegário, Minas Gerais, in Brazilië. Op negenjarige leeftijd zong Gusttavo al in een koor. In 2009 kwam in zijn geboorteland zijn eerste cd uit. Begin 2012 verscheen zijn derde album Atualmente.

Gusttavo Lima - Balada 

Eu já lavei o meu carro, regulei o som

Já tá tudo preparado, vem que o brega é bom

Menina fica a vontade, entre e faça a festa

Me liga mais tarde, vou adorar, vamos nessa

Gata, me liga, mais tarde tem balada

Quero curtir com você na madrugada

Dançar, pular até o sol raiar.

Gata, me liga, mais tarde tem balada

Quero curtir com você na madrugada

Dançar, pular que hoje vai rolar.

Tchê tcherere tchê tchê,

Tcherere tchê tchê,

Tcherere tchê tchê,

Tchereretchê

Tchê, tchê, tchê,

Gusttavo Lima e você

Se você me olhar vou querer te pegar

E depois namorar, curtição

Que hoje vai rolar...

Gata, me liga, mais tarde tem balada

Quero curtir com você na madrugada

Dançar, pular até o sol raiar.

Gata, me liga, mais tarde tem balada

Quero curtir com você na madrugada

Dançar, pular que hoje vai rolar.

Tchê tcherere tchê tchê,

Tcherere tchê tchê,

Tcherere tchê tchê,

Tchereretchê

Tchê, tchê, tchê,

Gusttavo Lima e você...

Marlon Roudette - New Age
If love was a word, I don't understand.
The simplest sound, With four letters.
Whatever it was, I'm over it now.
With every day, It gets better.
Are you loving pain, loving the pain?
And with everyday, everyday
I try to move on.
Whatever it was, 
Whatever it was, 
There's nothing now.
You changed.
New Age.
I'm walking away, From everything I had.
I need a room with new colours.
There was a time, 
When I didn't mind living the life of others.
Are you loving pain, loving the pain?
And with everyday, everyday
I try to move on.
Whatever it was, 
Whatever it was, 
There's nothing now.
You changed.
New Age.
So much fire that it burned my wings.
Her heat was amazing.
Now I'm dreaming of the simple things.
Old ways, erased.
If love was a word, 
I don't understand.
The simplest sound, 
With four letters.
Are you loving pain, loving the pain?
And with everyday, everyday
I try to move on.
Whatever it was, 
Whatever it was, 
There's nothing now.
You changed.
New Age

Emeli Sandé

Op 14 april 2012 stijgt Emeli Sandé van 13 naar 10 met Next To Me. Het is haar eerste hit in Nederland.

Adele Emeli Sandé werd geboren op 10 maart 1988 (Nederlandse Wikipedia meldt 20 mei 1987) in Alford, Aberdeenshire in Schotland. Ze heeft een vader uit Zambia en een Engelse moeder. Emeli studeerde geneeskunde aan de universiteit van Glasgow, maar brak haar studie af om zich aan de muziek te wijden. Ze gebruikt niet haar eerste voornaam Adele om verwarring met zangeres Adele Adkins te voorkomen. Ze schreef songs voor onder andere Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis, Cheryl Cole en Tinie Tempah. Haar eerste single Heaven haalde in Nederland de Top 40 niet (tip 3). In Vlaanderen haalde Heaven #23, Read All About It #21 en Next To Me staat nu in de top 10. Emeli is op dit moment druk bezig met het schrijven van teksten voor de comeback van de Sugababes in de originele bezetting.

Emeli Sandé - Next To Me
You won’t find him drinking at the table
Rolling dice and staying out til 3
You won’t ever find him being unfaithful
You will find you will find him next to me
You won’t find him trying to change the devil
For money fame power out of grief
You won’t ever find him where the rest go
You will find him find him next to me
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you’ll find him next to me
When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When everyone’s lost their head all around us
You will find him you’ll find him next to me 
Never in my life have i met someone like him
I’m blown away by his love for me
If you ever wonder where it is you’ll find him
You will find him you will find him next to me
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you’ll find him next to me
When the moneys spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can’t seem to find no help or love for free
I know there’s no need for me to panic
Cause I’ll find him I’ll find him next to me 
When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing 
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
All i need is a helping hand to stop the tears from 
falling
I will find him will find him next to me
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you’ll find him next to me
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you’ll find him next to me

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, 
I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell, 
And now you're in my way 
I trade my soul for a wish, 
Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this, 
But now you're in my way 
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' 
Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby? 
[Chorus] 
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
It's hard to look right, at you baaabeh, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
And all the other boys, try to chaaase me, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
[Verse 2] 
You took your time with the call, 
I took no time with the fall 
You gave me nothing at all, but still, you're in my way 
I beg, and borrow and steal 
Have foresight and it's real 
I didn't know I would feel it, but it's in my way 
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, 
Skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' 
Where you think you're going, baby? 
It's hard to look right, at you baaabeh, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
And all the other boys, try to chaaase me, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad 
I missed you so bad I missed you so, so bad 
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad 
And you should know that I missed you so, so bad 
It's hard to look right, at you baaabeh, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
And all the other boys, try to chaaase me, 
But here's my number, so call me, maybe? 
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad 
I missed you so bad I missed you so so bad 
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad 
And you should know that 
So call me, maybe?

Flo Rida featuring Sia - Wild Ones
[Sia - Hook]
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
[Flo Rida]
I like crazy, foolish, stupid
Party going wild, fist pumping
Music, I might lose it
Blast to the roof, that's how we do'z it
I don't care the night, she don't care we like
Almost dared the right five
Ready to get popping, ain't no surprise
Take me so high, jumping no doubts
Surfing the crowd
Oooh
Said I gotta be the man
When they heading my van, might check one too
Shut them down in the club while the playboy does it, and y'all get lose lose
After bottle, we all get bit and again tomorrow
Gotta break loose cause that's the motto
Club shuts down, I heard you're super models
[Sia - Hook]
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
[Flo Rida]
Party rocker, foot show stopper
More shampoo
Never one, club popper
Got a hangover like too much vodka
Can't see me with ten binoculars
So cool
No doubt by the end of the night
Got the clothes coming off
Til I make that move
Somehow, someway, gotta raise the roof, roof
All black shades when the sun come through
Oh, it's on like everything goes
Round up baby til the freaky show
What happens to that body, it's a private show
Stays right here, private show
I like em untamed, don't tell me how pain
Tell them this, bottoms up with the champagne
My life, coming harder than we hit play
Do you busy with the bail, were you insane
[Sia - Hook]
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
[Bridge]
I am a wild one
Break me in
Saddle me up and lets begin
I am a wild one
Tame me now
Running with wolves
And i'm on the prowl
Show you another side of me
A side you would never thought you would see
Tell that body
Gotta make sure do you have enough
I can't lie
The wilds don't lie
[Sia - Hook]
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I want to shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones
Oooh
I am a wild one
Break me in
Saddle me up and let's begin
I am a wild one
Tame me now
Running with wolves
And i'm on the prowl....
