BEST OF 2010: Paramore

Looking back in time, American rock band Paramore had quite a year. They spent almost all of it on tour, promoting their latest album Brand New Eyes (amazing record by the way).  At the ending of last year, they released their first two singles which were Ignorance and Brick By Boring Brick and on this year, they released Careful, Playing God and The Only Exception. I have to say that I’m love with the whole album (of course there is the normal exception Turn It Off was like… ugh..).

Talking about numbers, well, the band really sold a lot of albums, which means that Hayley’s got herself a couple of more dollars than before. They managed to go platinum on countries like Australia and United Kingdom, and gold in places like Ireland and the United States (just to do mention of some).

Still, not everything was sun and flowers for the band, just recently two of the members made an announcement, where they stated that they were leaving the band (Josh and Zac Farro). It’s important to say that back in 2007, Hayley and Josh were dating, so even though we’re not sure, maybe there were some controversy in the band because of this, which inevitably lead to the departure of their leading guitarist and their drums guy.

Here are some of Paramore's best vids:

BEST OF 2010: Sickest tune is "We No Speak Americano"

We No Speak Americano was released on February 27 of this year, but even now in December, I still hear this song bouncing in my head. This song belongs to Australian duo Yolanda Be Cool and it was produced by DCUP. The original idea behind it was just to do a bit of a sample of classic song Tu vuò fà lámericano by Renato Carosone, BUT it ended up being a major hit all around the world.

So far, this track has gone platinum in Germany, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Spain (twice) and gold in Belgium, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland. Let's remember that in order to get a platinum record in America you need to sale 200,000 units and for the gold one you need 100,000 units sold. So, do you get now why I told you it became a MAJOR HIT?

At first, the song may sound a bit old and boring to you, but once the song reaaally starts you won’t be able to get it out of your head. In case you’ve never seen it (that was my case until 5 minutos ago), here’s the official video for this song. About the video, I think I doesn’t make the song any justice, so, if you like, just click the play button and only listen to the track!
