After a successful return to the music business with her third studio album Back To Me, pop/R&B/soul songstress Fantasia has premiered the video for I'm Doin' Me, the second single off Back To Me.
Positive things first: The song is fun and has a little swing to it. The video is colourful and shows a much happier Fantasia who's decided to move on from a man that treats her "no good".
But the bad things? It's as if 'Tasia rushed out of the salon while getting a perm done and left one of the curlers in her hair. And what's up with the braces?
But I'm nitpicking here, the song is fun and should do pretty well on the charts.
Bruno Mars once again continues to lead the Hot 100 this week with Just The Way You Are standing at #1. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream rounds out the Top 3 at #3 this week. Rihanna's lead single Only Girl (In The World) from her upcoming album LOUD stays at #8 after it dropped to #8 last week from #3.

Rihanna's new single Only Girl (In The World) falls 5 spots to #8 this week after leaping up to #3 last week. I remember this happening to Taylor Swift's Mine after it made a glittering debut at #3, it kind of went downhill from then on. This week, Mine sits outside the Top 10 at #11 this week while Ke$ha's Take It Off falls a spot to #12 this week. The Glee Cast have invaded the Hot 100 once again after the first episode of Season 2 premiered last week and Empire State of Mind has made a debut at #21, Telephone at #23, Billionaire at #28, Listen at #38 and What I Did For Love at #51.

Katy Perry's Teenage Dream has been knocked off the top spot, falling to #4 this week while Bruno Mars conquers the Hot 100 with his debut single Just The Way You Are.

Pop superstar Katy Perry continues to top the Hot 100 at #1 for a second consecutive week. Ke$ha's latest single Take It Off sticks at #8 for a second week in a row. Inching its way up on the Hot 100 is OneRepublic's latest offering Secrets and Adam Lambert's latest dance/pop single If I Had You sitting at new peaks of #26 and #31 respectively. It's the release week of Sara Bareilles' sophomore album Kaleidoscope Heart which means it has propelled the lead single King of Anything to #32, a new peak for the single.

Michael Buble's latest single Hollywood makes a debut at #55 while Daughtry's latest single September hits a new peak of #57.

Katy Perry's Teenage Dream holds on to its position at #4 while Fantasia's Back To Me sits outside the Top 10 at #11.

'Tasia does a swingin' version of her new single I'm Doin' Me and chats for a short interview (that got cut). So it's.. shorter. Watch the performance above and the interview below.
Pop megastar Katy Perry's Teenage Dream has finally dethroned Eminem's single Love The Way You Lie which features Rihanna, slipping to #2 this week while Katy Perry takes over the Hot 100 at #1. Taylor Swift's Mine is on an upward climb this week, moving up to #7 from #9 last week. Also moving up is Ke$ha with her latest single Take It Off. OneRepublic is also on the move up with latest single Secrets entering Top 30 territory, hitting a new peak of #29 this week. Sara Bareilles' brilliant lead single King of Anything from sophomore set Kaleidescope Heart is back at it's peak on the Hot 100 of #51, which is bound to go up during the album release week, which is this week. Daughtry's fantastic new single September hits a new peak of #66 this week. After bouncing back up on her feet, Fantasia's single Bittersweet just kept climbing. However, Bittersweet has lost a little steam, falling to 81 this week after reaching a peak of #81.
Disturbed's Asylum makes a debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart while previous chart topper Katy Perry has slipped to #2 with Teenage Dream while Fantasia's Back To Me, last week's #2, has dropped to #5. After the movie release, the Camp Rock 2 Soundtrack has rebounded up the chart to #9 up from #22 last week. Carrie Underwood also rebounds up to #42 this week, flying up 20 spots up from #62 last week. In anticipation of her Glee premiere, Charice's self-titled international debut album has re-entered the chart at #160 this week.
The release week of Katy Perry's sophomore album Teenage Dream bumped up single sales for her current single, the title track and California Gurls, which helped push both tracks up a spot to reach #2 and #7 on the Hot 100 this week. Teenage Dream has reached a new peak by the way, standing at #2 while album track Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) debuts down the chart at #67. However, the might of Katy Perry just cannot get a hold on Eminem and Rihanna, who have been ruling the charts for so long with Love The Way You Lie holding up at #1 again. However, I don't expect this to last for too long. After slipping off the Top 10 last week, Taylor Swift's Mine has returned to the Top 10, moving up to #9 this week while Ke$ha's latest single Take It Off rounds out the Top 10 and reaches a new peak of #10 this week on the Hot 100. Adam Lambert's latest single If I Had You stays at its current spot of #32 for a second week. OneRepublic has achieved a new peak for their new single Secrets as it swings into #35 this week. Sara Bareilles' King of Anything remains stuck at #58 this week, just 7 spots away from its peak when it debuted on the chart. Despite her personal life struggles, I truly believe Fantasia has overcome them and Bittersweet has yet moved up again to reach a new peak on the Hot 100 at #74. Daughtry's latest single September from platinum-selling sophomore album Leave This Town has moved up to a new peak as well, hitting #75 this week.
On the Billboard 200 albums chart, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream has hit #1, trailed by a very different artist Fantasia, with her latest set Back To Me. OneRepublic's second album Waking Up makes a move up to #105 this week.
Eminem and Rihanna's humongous collaboration on Love The Way You Lie are still at #1 on the Hot 100 this week. Katy Perry's second single Teenage Dream, as I predicted, has moved up this week to #5 while first single California Gurls has moved up one spot to #3. Taylor Swift's new single Mine has dropped to #8 this week after debuting at #3 last week. Jason DeRulo continues to round out the top 10 with Ridin' Solo holding at #10 this week. Ke$ha has entered Top 20 territory with her latest single Take It Off making a move up to #20 this week. OneRepublic sits just outside the Top 40 with Secrets moving up 10 spots to #41 this week. Adam Lambert's latest single If I Had You hits a new peak of #42. Sara Bareilles' latest single King of Anything rebounds up to #53 up from #64 last week. Katy Perry will release singles to iTunes in anticipation for second album Teenage Dream and last week's track Circle The Drain makes a debut at #58. Rihanna's latest single as a solo artist Rockstar 101 makes a move up to #64 this week while Miranda Cosgrove's Kissin' U makes a move up to #69 this week. Ne-Yo's Champagne Life and Fantasia's Bittersweet both hit new peaks at #75 and #79 respectively. Starting to think there could be a resurgence in R&B after this dance/pop craze is over. Daaughtry's latest single September makes a move up to #91 this week.
Eminem has returned to the top spot of the Billboard 200 albums chart while the Camp Rock 2 soundtrack makes a debut at #3. Miley Cyrus' latest album Can't Be Tamed falls to #40 this week. Selena Gomez & The Scene's debut album Kiss N Tell stay at #55 this week. Thanks to the success of Love The Way You Lie and Rockstar 101, despite not even shifting a million units, Rihanna's latest album Rated R moves up to #65 from #89. Katy Perry's debut album One of the Boys is also moving up, this week to #79 up from #90 last week. In its 10th week, Christina Aguilera's latest album Bionic falls a spot to #84. Sara Bareilles' debut album Little Voice has re-entered the chart at #96 thanks to the success of King of Anything, her latest single taken from sophomore album Kalaidescope Heart to be released in September.
American Idol Season 3 winner is looking to regain some lost ground in the music industry with new album Back To Me. Her private life currently is a complete mess and I don't expect this to do well but I didn't expect Bittersweet to even chart on the Hot 100 so maybe there is hope for Fantasia after all. I didn't expect Back To Me to leak so early but anyway, reception to the album has been positive. Enjoy!

Artist Of The Month. (November 2011)
The Power Rangers of British pop, The Saturdays, are returning this year with a more mature sound and image, with the girlband taking a stab at the pop/dance wave with their fourth album On Your Radar's first single Notorious being a total flip in direction in their sound, and was noticeably more clubby compared to their previous singles and albums. They then took things a level further with the complete rave-tastic All Fired Up, which is without a doubt their best single release, not surprising since the track was produced by production powerhouse Xenomania, the machine behind pretty much all of Girls Aloud's discography. The pop five-piece are charging forward with the Christmassy ballad My Heart Takes Over before their album On Your Radar drops November 21st!
