With sales of 15 million plus David Guetta’s undoubtedly the world’s most sought after producer. The driving force behind the current swathe of chart topping electro influenced R&B, Guetta’s music has helped a huge array of artists to the top of the charts. With a list of collaborators that includes The Black Eyed Peas, Flo Rida, Kelly Rowland, Rihanna, Akon, Madonna – Guetta’s productions credits read like a who’s who of pop.
Guetta’s also a huge star in his own right. One of the planet’s most successful DJ’s, his own records have been some of the most pop records of the last decade with tracks like ‘When Love Takes Over’ and ‘Who’s That Chick?’ just two of his many platinum singles. We caught up with Guetta to talk about his forthcoming album, his next single with Nicki Minaj and why his relationship with Will.i.am is purely platonic.

Your new album is on the way, what can we expect?

Well the album is really far from being finished so I can’t really speak about it yet. The album is due in September. But I have my new record, ‘Where Them Girls At’, hopefully that’ll be number one on Shazam. That’s coming out on the radio on Monday and on iTunes at the end of the month (in the UK – a little before in some other countries). That’s really exciting. Nicki Minaj is one of my favorite artists on the planet right now so that’s really exciting: Flo Rida, of course, we had a number one record before.

No alarms and no surprises in our US tag chart during an extremely quiet week in which Jason Derulo remained on top once again and few movements were registered. The mighty Black Eyed Peas were the only new entry with ‘Meet Me Halfway’, the third single taken from ‘The End’ in hope to continue with the band’s previous tracks unrivalled success.

Black Eyed Peas top the US Tag Chart again this week with ‘I Gotta Feelin’; making it an omnipresent 5 weeks at the top for the rap crew. With David Guetta about to release a much hyped hook up with Akon and plenty of singles still to come from Black Eyed Peas’ latest album, don’t be surprised if the electro/hip-hop sound is still topping our charts for the rest of the Summer. A new release comes this week from Shakira, whose latest track ‘She Wolf’ sees the Columbian return to the US charts.
