Friday's New Mix Music

We add the new music we've chosen for Mix every Friday morning, and this week is no exception.


Cee-Lo Green "Forget You" - this was a hit on the Top 40 charts, but it took Gwyneth Paltrow's rendition on Glee (and Cee-Lo's SNL appearance) to bring it back for our Hot Adult Contemporary format. The song was originally "F*** You," and written with no intention of being released to radio. It became "Eff You" and finally, "Forget You." I wish it had been the last version from the start - it deserves to be the massive hit we're hoping it becomes, now that stations are FINALLY playing it!


Taylor Swift "Back To December" Her latest nominations are for the Kids' Choice Awards - Taylor is up for Favorite Female Singer and Favorite Song ("Mine"). Tell your kids they can vote at http://www.nick.com/ starting March 1, and that the awards show is on April 2.

And for grownups...Taylor has topped a Yahoo! OMG poll as the singer most adults (especially men under 35 - duh) would like to serenade them on Valentine's Day. Doubt they'd choose "Back to December" as the song she'd sing, as it's filled with longing and regret. Rumor has it Taylor wrote it for ex Taylor Lautner; her music is consistently inspired by real guys and real events. I would have to say that if most kids her age wrote song lyrics, that would be the case.


Linkin Park "Waiting for the End" This is a different sound for the rock/rap metal band best known for their 2001 hit "In the End." You'll find it on their latest album, A Thousand Suns, which came out in September 2010. Fringe fans may recognize it from commercials for the Fox show, and gamers have downloaded it for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
