UK star Taio Cruz has taken the US by storm with his Stateside debut ‘Break Your Heart’. The Ludacris-assisted song rocketed #53-#1 on the Billboard Hot 100 today; in the process making chart history by registering the highest jump on the chart for an artist with their first single.
Congratulations are no doubt in order for the London-based singer/songwriter. It will be interesting to see if he’s able to keep the momentum going with the future releases from his ‘Rokstarr’ LP.
DAMN. It’s soo easy to get a #1 single these days thanks to the “Digital Era”
i just checked billboard and the black eyed peas are number 1
im confused
Good for Taio! With this hit and the rise of other overseas artist in the US, it proves that music is universal. I wish online stores like Itunes would pay attention and stop blocking international tunes to its consumers.
TAIO WHO????
i just listened to the song… it’s alright, i guess. nice, but nothing extraordinary.
@brandiose: agree re: itunes. the point of the internet is to make information borderless. what is this, the 50s?
i didnt understand when it was number 1 here its like the charts are full of crap now
who?
I don’t get why mediocre singers break records so easily…
YESSS. Happy for him. That’s great. I love the song and I really liked his albums.
OMG WOW WOW WOW!!! im totally happy for taio cruz ive listened to his music for 2-3 years now & always thought why this guy is not even an international star yet!! im happy hes getting it finally!!!! hes so talented & amazing singer & has really good songs!
It’s easy to get a number one single but it’s not easy to sale records. FUNNY
He sucks. I can’t wait until this Dance music trend is over.
The song is a bit bland but UK acts need to start charting in the US we have American acts dominating the UK charts.I wonder how Alexandra Burke, JLS and Pixie Lott will do.
My bf and I just asked who this was., and it came on the radio-haha-terrible terrible song!!! Wow!!! I am just speechless @ music rite now!!
to @zenguru, billboard.com doesn’t update their charts until Thursday (tomorrow)
you’re true with itunes…gets on my nerves that i dont get songs that are released everywhere else….and they are wondering why everyone is downloading illegally
nice song
he should release dirty pictures as the second single
I had to look up cuz I didnt know who this was, he sucks, and only in America, I aint even going to talk no more because this generation is really pissing me off.
ONE HIT WONDER.
I liked the song from first listen, and I can’t say that the song isn’t #1 worthy because it definitely has a good concept and a nice video to accompany it. Haters please stop hating because if it were that easy to get a number one single, you’d have one!!!!
Another song I would’ve love to see soar to #1 in the US is La Roux’s ‘Bulletproof’. The song is hot and the beat is blazin’!!
I hope Bulletproof by La Roux does well on the charts here in the U.S.!
It was #1 in the U.K.!
don’t like that song, but congrats to him
In recent years only acts like Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone have been some of the few to chart big in USA… so it’s finally good to see another joining them…
I remember hearing this last week on b1xtra and he only managed to chart at no53 but if he has managed to get a no1, well all i can say is atleast it’s better than that s***** a*** DOWN DOWN DOWNDOWN track. Why it got 2 no1 in the states is beyond me. And even though this only his 1st track nto hit the states and looking back at his past tracks that he did i think that he will be in the charts longer than Jay s***** a*** Sean . At leat he can write records.
Wow…really? This song ain’t even all that. Still, good for him. I actually like this guy and I hope Dirty Picture has the same success.
wow…
As long as he dosent mention his dislike for black women, he should be fine.
His tunes are great, so congratulations to him
That’s a good look for him so congrates on that one.
Maybe he can find a black girl for his damn videos..
first of all, if crap like soulja boy, kei$sha can get to number 1, that means i can pen a record and get to number 1. it aint that difficult anymore.
secondly, taio is a duscsh!!!!!
some comment are really dubious and nothing sensible in it..do you dont like the person or his music dont comment go throw your self to any pool and sort your life out..bitchesssssss
i love you taio cruz am cruzy de toi
