Monday Madness 19.12.16

It's officially Christmas week so no unhappy faces this week, all smiles! Let's ring in the festive season with some Monday Madness tunes...

The Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started

There's something about this song, and possibly the group in general, that make being unhappy impossible. It's also a good message to start off the week, so come on, let's get it started!

DMX - X Gon' Give It To Ya

While this song only achieved minor chart success when it was first dropped in 2003, peaking at number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100, it recently experienced a second lease of life thanks to 2016 hit film, Deadpool, starring Hollywood heart-throb, Ryan Reynolds.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop Feat. Wanz

The song received widespread critical acclaim when it was released in 2012, and it's not hard to understand why. A complete ear worm that will be stuck in your head all day. After climbing their way to UK NO.1 Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were only the second act to score a number one in Britain with a self-released single.

Will.i.am - Boys & Girls Feat. Pia Mia

King of the collab. William James Adams, otherwise known as Will.i.am, has worked his way around the music industry pretty flawlessly, working with everyone from Bieber to Brittany, from Jennifer Lopez to Mick Jagger. For this phenomenal chart topper, he teamed up with Pia Mia. Though its less than a year old, it is potentially one of his most popular songs.

Boy Better Know - Too Many Man

Boy Better Know is an English grime collective and record label. Too Many Man was the first single from the album, was released on 25 May 2009. The song is also featured on the Wiley and Skepta albums, Race Against Time and Microphone Champion, respectively.
