#1 in this week’s Music Week Commercial Chart is Katy Perry’s new single ‘The One That Got Away’, featuring the fabulous 7th Heaven remix. This is Katy’s 6th successive MW Commercial Chart #1 from her multi-platinum selling ‘Teenage Dream’ album. Huge congratulations to Capitol/Virgin both here and in the states plus special thanks to Craig Jones at Eurosolution. The remix package, featuring mixes from 7th Heaven and JRMX, is released on 4th December.

Probably one of the finest songs 7th Heaven have ever been asked to remix is the amazing new song for US superstar Kelly Clarkson entitled ‘Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)’. This is planned as Kelly’s next international single release on RCA, following up her huge radio hit, ‘Mr Know It All’. We heard today that the mix has now had full artist approval.

7th Heaven have remixed the huge club tune Utah Saints vs. Drumsound & Bassline Smith ‘What Can You Do For Me’ for Ministry Of Sound. Of course Old Skool enthusiasts will remember this dance classic from the early 90s as it originally featured instantly familiar samples from two 80s pop hits – Gwen Guthrie’s ‘Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent’ and Eurythmics’ ‘There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)’. 7th Heaven’s remix is on a big room tip and respects fully the original 90s version. Promos go out to DJs shortly and release is planned for early in the new year.

Given a huge thumbs up today by Interscope in the US, with a full artist approval, is the 7th Heaven mix of the amazing new Nicole Scherzinger song ‘Try With Me’. It’s an epic sounding mix and we think one of the strongest 7th Heaven mixes of the year.

A digital release last week on iTunes for both US and Japanese territories only is Jin Akanishi ft. Jason Derulo ‘Test Drive’, which features a peak time remix from 7th Heaven. This mix was commissioned back in the summer for Beluga Heights/Warner Bros. Pop star, singer-songwriter and actor Jin Akanishi is a household name in Japan.

25th November 2011 sees the release date of the full remix package for 7th Heaven ft. Donna Gardier-Elliott ‘Don’t Make Me Wait’ on Ego. Featuring mixes from 7th Heaven, Oxford Hustlers, Gyber, JRMX, Consoul Trainin, Trilogy Project, Wayne G & Porl Young, Dulcie Danger, Mars & Vans, Joe Gauthreaux, iamDARTS and The Thin Red Men.

7th Heaven have remixed the Christmas single from ‘X Factor’ and ‘Popstar To Operastar’ winner Joe McElderry for Decca. It is a rework of the classic 80s Wham song. The 7th Heaven mix is due to be club promoted to DJs in early December and released on 18th December.

Delivered last week to US radio stations is the JD Radio Edit of Katy Perry’s ‘The One That Got Away’. This is a slower tempo pop mix which is a totally different production to the 7th Heaven dance mixes currently on promo. By all acounts it is proving to be very popular already with US radio DJs.

Completed this week is an amazing new 7th Heaven remix on the debut release for the Israeli duo TYP (The Young Professionals). The track is ‘D.I.S.C.O.’, a fun slice of electro pop meets nu-disco that samples heavily from Ottawan’s 1980 disco anthem of the same name. TYP have been nominated for ‘Worldwide Act’ at 2011 MTV European Music Awards. We’re certain you’ll be hearing a great deal more about this group (and this song) over the coming months.

Due to be club promoted imminently in the UK is the latest single ‘No I.D.’ by English electropop musician Frankmusik ft. Colette Carr. Set for release in mid November on Island the song is a super catchy, hook laden pop song which sounds to us like a massive club and radio hit to be.
