Erika Jayne Tops Billboard "Hot Dance Club Play Chart" with lates single "One Hot Pleasure"
She’s now five for five.
Leading into 2011, bona fide chart queen ERIKA JAYNE has triumphantly returned to the #1 spot for the fifth consecutive time on Billboard’s “Hot Dance Club Play” chart this week. She’s vaulted to this spot with the sizzling “One Hot Pleasure,” propelled by a stable of killer remixes by Dave Aude, Ralphi Rosario, Sultan & Ned Shepard and DJ Mr. White plus a glittering video co-directed by famed photographer Mike Ruiz and MTV Video Music Award Nominee Mikey Minden.
The song--written and produced by Dave Aude and co-written with Nick Clow and Luciana (“I Like That”)--was released last month as the debut track on ERIKA’s Pretty Mess Records label. ERIKA’S previous singles “Rollercoaster,” “Stars,” “Give You Everything” and “Pretty Mess” from her debut album Pretty Mess also hit the #1 position this chart. “One Hot Pleasure”’s peak at #1 tops tracks by Katy Perry, Cher and Enrique Iglesias (featuring Ludacris and DJ Frank E) solidifying her as a major player in the pop and dance worlds.
States ERIKA, "I'm super excited that the first release off my label Pretty Mess Records has gone #1. Nothing feels better than creating and delivering the material to the fans that have supported me from the beginning."
Known for her alluring vocals, catchy melodies and electro beats, not to mention an infectious taste of decadence, pop vocalist, songwriter and performer Erika Jayne is a force to be reckoned with. The Atlanta-born, Los Angeles transplant hit #1 on Billboard’s dance charts with her first hit single “Rollercoaster.” It was soon followed by three more number one singles including “Stars,” “Give You Everything” and most recently “Pretty Mess.” According to Billboard, only thirteen acts have taken their first four hits to number one since the chart launched in 1976. Erika joins the ranks of dance giants, including Rihanna and The Pussycat Dolls, who have accomplished similar feats. She has been distinguished by industry powerhouse Billboard magazine and industry insiders for this “uncommon feat.”
“One Hot Pleasure” is Erika’s most recent #1 Billboard hit. Look for a new EP from Erika this spring.

Kristine W Has Her 14th #1 Billboard Dance Hit With Her Latest Release, "Be Alright"

Kristine W hits #1 again on the September 5, 2009 edition of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart with her latest single, “Be Alright.” This is Kristine’s 14th #1 single and ties her with Mariah Carey for the 3rd most Club No. 1s among women. “Be Alright” has also jumped to #14 on the FMQB Adult Contemporary chart.
The song’s message is one of hope triumphing over difficulty; a theme Kristine says is especially poignant today. “With the financial crisis hitting every country, political instability reaching all time highs, and health care in limbo, I wanted to write and sing a song that both expressed how people are feeling and encouraged optimism,” says the singer, a leukemia survivor celebrating eight years in remission. “The fact that ‘Be Alright’ is crossing different genres of music proves the message is universal. We are all feeling pressure in today’s world but we all need to believe that we will get through this. In the end, we will all be alright.”
Mike McVay, President of McVay Media, a company that consults more than 150 radio stations around the world, echoes Kristine’s sentiments on the song’s success. “Its reassuring lyrics and positive energy speak to listeners. We expect the song to continue its ascent on the AC charts.”
“Be Alright” is the fifth release from Kristine’s recently released full-length project, The Power of Music.
The Power of Music has already proven its power on the dance scene with its first four single releases - “Walk Away”, “The Boss”, “Never”, and “Love is the Look” – all landing at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play List.
Kristine W (kristinew.com) is a fourth generation entertainer hailing from Pasco, Washington. After winning titles as Miss Tri-Cities, Miss Washington and placing first in the talent competition at the Miss America pageant, Kristine went on to pursue her educational and musical dreams in Las Vegas, where she found success headlining her own show at the Las Vegas Hilton, winning several 'Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year' awards and being officially sanctioned as the entertainer who performed more live shows at the Las Vegas Hilton than any other performer in its history - including Elvis. The award led to June 28th being officially sanctioned Kristine W day in the state of Nevada.
Her previous full length album, Fly Again, released in 2004 from Tommy Boy Records, yielded four #1 dance records and established Kristine as a world record holder for Most Consecutive #1 Billboard Club Hits, topping records previously held by Janet Jackson and Madonna.

Dance Music Sensation Erika Jayne to Release Highly Anticipated Debut Album, "Pretty Mess," on August 11

If disco balls, ecstasy, pearls, Studio 54, sex, crystal chandeliers, Purple Rain and crème brûlée could be whipped in a blender and made into a delicious pop-dance musical confection, you would have PRETTY MESS, the debut from dance-pop’s latest sensation ERIKA JAYNE. Due out August 11 through E1 Music (formerly KOCH Records), fantasy and escape reign on the 14-song collection of dance, rhythmic pop and dreamy electronica produced and co-written with some of today’s most in-demand and talented producers.
“Purple Rain, the feel of Studio 54, Kylie Minogue and the old Hollywood designers Edith Head and Adrian Adolph Greenberg…they were all about having a good time and that is what my record is about,” notes the Atlanta-bred, Los Angeles-based songstress regarding the variety of fabulous influences for her first album. “I want people to have fun, dance and escape into fantasy. I want the listener to take a sexy little trip away from their lives. It’s a very sensual, erotic, luxurious-feeling album.”
With assistance from production heavyweights Peter Rafelson (Madonna, Britney Spears, Stevie Nicks) and Eric Kupper (Shakira, Destiny’s Child, Kylie Minogue), Pretty Mess showcases Jayne’s talent as both a singer and a songwriter with tracks spanning from rhythmic pop and dance to chill electronic ballads. The album includes a nod to Prince, one of Jayne’s biggest influences, with a cover of his protégé Apollonia’s hit “Sex Shooter” as well as a guest appearance from legendary percussionist Sheila E on the track “Time to Realize.” Pretty Mess also includes stellar guest production from the likes of Esthero (under the name Pinklake), Jahi Lake (Chris Brown) and Ike Dirty (Lil’ Scrappy, Ying Yang Twins).
Jayne is experiencing success prior to album release that is not often seen by debut artists. The current single “Give You Everything,” created with Rafelson, has put her high on the Billboard Dance charts for the third consecutive time, following the album’s first two singles “Rollercoaster” and “Stars.” The track recently scored her “Breakout Artist of the Week” status on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Breakouts chart, pushing her past hit artists Lady Gaga and the Pussycat Dolls to secure the top spot. The song was also a Billboard “Hotshot Debut” for the week.
With mixes from dance club elite including Moto Blanco, Mike Rizzo, DJ Escape & Johnny Vicious and Dave Audé, the single continues to jump up the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and marks Jayne’s third time dominating the chart. Previous singles “Roller Coaster” and “Stars” were both #1 Dance Club Play tracks, with “Stars” also hitting #1 on the Billboard Dance Radio Airplay Chart.
The video for “Give You Everything” paired Jayne with Grammy-nominated video director Marty Thomas for a clip that shows off Jayne’s triple-threat talent as an actress as well as a singer and dancer. Choreography for the clip came from noted choreographer Mikey Minden (The Pussycat Dolls). The video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hfrsd3ICBA
Tracks from Pretty Mess have also made their way to the big screen. “Roller Coaster” appeared in Deal featuring Burt Reynolds, while “Stars” has a cameo in The Pools Boys, an upcoming comedy from the director of American Pie 2 with Efren Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite) and Matthew Lillard (Scream). “I Lose Myself” and “Just a Phase” were also included in the 2008 romantic comedy The Neighbor, starting Matthew Modine and Michelle Laroque.
In anticipation of the album release, Jayne is treating fans to special appearances at the West Coast’s two largest Pride celebrations. With back up dancers in tow, she recently captivated the audience at the Los Angeles Pride celebration and got the crowd moving with a performance of her hit singles on the festival’s main stage.
