SIA GETS RICH FROM CHEAP THRILLS


Drake’s One Dance has been camped out as the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since May (10 weeks). Sia’s smash hit, Cheap Thrills that features Sean Paul, knocked Drake off the throne with her ode to a low cost night out. Making this the first time Sia has worn the #1 crown as an artist and Paul’s fourth time at the top in more than 10 years. It could have just as easily been Rihanna looking down from the tower. Rihanna’s manager had asked Sia to write another Diamonds. Sia sent Cheap Thrills to the Rihanna camp but they passed on it. Here's where I get to brag and say I told you so (why does that feel so good. LOL!). Over six months ago I wrote a blog about Sia's new album consisting of songs that she wrote for other artists and all had been rejected. I went on to say…their loss would be Sia's gain! And here she is six months later with the #1 song in the country! 

This week I’m putting Sia’s #1 song on In The Mix with HK™ with an exclusive HK remix just for you! I’ll also be upping the watts on hits by Shawn Mendes, Katy Perry, Flume, Fifth Harmony, Coldplay, Twenty One Pilots and so much more! Plus new jams from Major Lazer featuring Justin Bieber and Steve Aoki & Boehm featuring Walk The Moon! I’ve got your weekend party soundtrack all cued up!

Remember…if it's hot, if it's new and it makes you wanna move…you're In The Mix with HK™.

KATY PERRY RISES THIS WEEK ON IN THE MIX WITH HK™

Katy Perry recently released Rise, it’s her first new single in two years and she also wrote it! Here’s what the Grammy nominee said in a statement about her latest track – “This is a song that’s been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface. I was inspired to finish it now, rather than save it for my next album, because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite.  I know that together we can rise above the fear – in our country, and around the world. I can’t think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather together in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be. I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together. I am honored that NBC Olympics has chosen to use it as an anthem before and during the Rio Games.”

This week on In The Mix with HK™ I’ll put my spin on Katy’s latest tune and also hit you up with new jams from Britney Spears and Demi Lovato! Your speakers will be thumpin’ with exclusive HK remixes on Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, OneRebublic, Sia, Drake, Meghan Trainor, Twenty One Pilots and so much more!!

Remember…if it's hot, if it's new and it makes you wanna move…you're In The Mix with HK™.

"THIS GIRL" IS THIS WEEK'S PICK TO HIT™

This Girl is Kungs reworking of a Cookin’ On 3 Burners song. The track has gone #1 on the French and German charts, #2 on the UK Singles Chart and this week it’s the Pick To Hit™ on In The Mix with HK™. Kungs, born Valentin Brunel, is a French DJ, record producer and musician. His musical interest was sparked at the age of five when he received a djembe as a gift from his parents. Which may explain the esoteric feel of his music. At 17 he began creating melodies using his own instruments. In 2014 Kungs began recording and uploading his bootleg mixes and by 2016 he opened for David Guetta’s European tour and recorded This Girl. Hear it this week On In The Mix with HK™ and hit me back with your thoughts.   



In The meantime I’ll be hittin’ you up with exclusive HK remixes on Daya, Charlie Puth featuring Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes, Pink, Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna and others. There're also new tracks from Lukas Graham, Zayn and Clean Bandit! And that's just getting the party started! I’ll be dropping the needle on all your favorite hits!
