Stateside Check: April 08

We love hearing music from all over the world and what's hot in America often gives us a good idea of what might be big in the UK in a couple of months.

Here are three of our picks:

Miley Cyrus - See You Again

It's not in the slightest bit cool but we can't get enough of this song by the girl who plays Hannah Montana. It sounds a bit like 80s synth classic 'Sunglasses At Night' and has a killer jump along chorus that P!nk would kill for.

C-Side - Boyfriend/Girlfriend

Atlanta rap trio C-Side have teamed up with P Diddy's favourite girl Keyshia Cole for this newcomer on the American charts. It's a typical boys rap, girl sings a nice bit kind of song, but it's got a great summery vibe and is catchy as hell. Be warned the video takes a little while to get into though!

Ray J ft Yung Berg

Remember Brandy? Well Ray J is her brother and by the sound of this top 10 American hit, he could be the next Neyo / Chris Brown on the smooth R&B scene. He's been making music in the US for 10 years but has only had 1 UK hit so far.
