However, competitors, in this field, went into action – hell-bent on destroy- ing a good thing going. And they have shamelessly succeeded.

I knew Desmond as a singer of English songs, performing with the Spitfires, etc., and certainly not as a baila artiste. I know of quite a few people who were disappointed, seeing him perform mostly bailas, at his recent Colombo concert. It was a baila session, from start to fin- ish. The organisers should have remem- bered that we, in Sri Lanka, hear baila music 24/7. So why bring Desmond and get him, as well, to perform bailas! I also thought he was too much glued to the lyrics stand. I hope if I do get the opportunity of see- ing Desmond perform again, he would give us a balance of English and Sinhala songs.” TOTP PopShot Chart World Singles Chart 9. Sugar – Maroon 5. 10.

Runaway (U & I) - Galantis T hey say, ‘when you are in love, it’s the loveliest night of the year.’ And some refer to December 31st as the loveliest night of the year. Well, what would be your pick! I know, it’s too early to be talking about 31st night activities, but when there is something extra special cropping up, on December 31st, then, I believe, it’s quite in order to make a big sound about it. The unhappy ‘noise’ we generally hear, as the New Year approaches, is the high cost of 31st night dance tickets. Many revellers find it tough to fork out big bucks for just one particular night of fun. With this in mind, two big names in the music scene, Sohan and Corrine, have decided to team up in order to create the right 31st night atmosphere, at a price affordable to all. In actual fact, they say, tickets are being priced at two for the price of one, plus din- ner and breakfast. And, most importantly, you would be having two of the best 31st night aggregations in action – Sohan & The X- Periments and Corrine & Co. The venue is going to be the Eagle’s Lakeside Banquet & Convention Hall, with a capacity to accommodate over 1000 guests! The other plus factor is that this particular venue has a mega stage, elaborate lighting, a large dance floor, and is fully air-condi- tioned - with a waterfront deck, over- looking the lake. There will also be entertainment, in the form of Ronnie and Mariazelle, with Kumar de Silva handling the pro- ceedings. From what I hear, this is going to be one mighty mind-boggling 31st event. And the whole family is welcome. Okay, now what would you consider to be the loveliest night of the year? ‘When you are in love,’ or a ‘New Year’s Eve happening, with Sohan & The X- Periments and Corrine & Co.!’ Corrine & Co. Sohan & The X-Periments Desmond de Silva J anet Jackson will release a new album this autumn, it has been confirmed. The singer has partnered her own Rhythm Nation label, with BMG, for the new collection; her first in seven years. Janet said: "Thank you to the talent- ed team at BMG, my new artistic home. The opportunity to be creative, in music, and every form of entertain- ment, has great potential here." Until recently, the star had put her music career on hiatus; stepping out of the public eye and moving to Saudi Arabia. Last month, the sister of the late Michael Jackson, announced her return to music on her Twitter page, using the hashtag #ConversationsInACafe. BMG CEO, Hartwig Masuch, said: "Janet is not just a supreme artist, she is a unique cultural force whose work resonates around the world. It is an honor that she has chosen BMG to release her long-awaited new album. We look forward to collaborating with her across every platform." Jon Cohen, EVP of Recorded Music, at BMG Chrysalis US, added: "Janet is a cultural icon and pop star like no other. The release of her long-awaited new album will undoubtedly be one of the musical highlights of 2015. It is an honor to work with her." Janet began her career at the age of seven when she first performed with her family at the MGM in Las Vegas. The worldwide breakthrough came with her third album,‘Control,’ which peaked at Number 8, on the Official Albums Chart, in 1986. She has since scored a further five Top 10 albums including the chart-top- ping ‘janet.’ in 1993. Janet Jackson 1. Bokutachi Wa Tatakawanai - Akb48 3. Bad Blood – Taylor Swift 7.
