EW picks the Spring’s next big singles! But in my eyes, this list is crap, none of these will be “big”… because, well, Rihanna nor Chris Brown are on it.. also HOW can these be hits without Timbaland or T-Pain being involved? This is a little too confusing.
1. TEYANA TAYLOR – Google Me: Download | Link 2
Alright… maybe this song will make it.
2. SHE & HIM – Why Do You Let Me Stay Here
Indie crooner M. Ward + actress/singer/pixie Zooey Deschanel = one delightful country-pop ditty.

Downtown cool filtered through spare, ragga-inspired backbeats.

Indelible, horn-addled electro for the masses.
6. IDLE WARSHIP – Industry Diary
Rapper Talib Kweli and songstress Res take down the music biz, create superhot cut.

Ambitious psych epic rife with squiggles and tambourines.
8. RAFTER – Love Time Now Please
Floaty, horn-filled kook-rock pastiche from the San Diego-based Friend of Sufjan.

I am feeling Santogold, but this type of music isnt the kind to become “hits”.
That Google song is gonna be the next annoying radio hit…
what the fuck is that last song? ugh, terrible!
i agree wit most of this list, these songs are great
