Single Of The Day: Westlife - Swear It Again
What makes this single stand out is the perfect blend of emotional lyrics and beautiful harmonies that showcase the vocal talents of Shane, Kian, Mark, Nicky, and Brian. "Swear It Again" serves as an excellent introduction to Westlife's signature sound, which combines traditional boyband elements with a more mature pop approach. The track will be included on their upcoming self-titled debut album, scheduled for release later this year. With Louis Walsh managing the group and Simon Cowell overseeing their career at BMG, Westlife has all the ingredients needed to achieve international success. This single demonstrates why they deserve to be the next big thing in pop music, following in the footsteps of successful Irish acts like Boyzone and the Corrs.

Single Of The Day: Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca
This explosive track has earned our Single of the Day recognition due to its irresistible energy and impeccable timing. Released just after Martin's acclaimed performance at the Grammy Awards earlier this year, "Livin' La Vida Loca" has ignited a Latin pop explosion across America. The song represents a technological breakthrough as well, being the first major hit to be recorded and mixed entirely using Pro Tools digital production software, giving it that distinctive crisp sound. The track's innovative blend of Latin rhythms, surf-rock guitar riffs, and Martin's charismatic delivery has made it impossible to ignore on radio stations across the country. Already climbing charts rapidly and generating massive buzz, this single seems destined to propel Ricky Martin to global superstardom ahead of his self-titled English-language album scheduled for release next month. Music industry insiders are predicting this could be the song of summer 1999!

Single Of The Day: Cher - Strong Enough
The single continues the dance-pop sound that made "Believe" such an international success, solidifying Cher's remarkable career reinvention. The upbeat disco-inspired track has already been compared to Gloria Gaynor's classic "I Will Survive" by some music critics for its empowering message. The accompanying music video, directed by Nigel Dick (who also directed the "Believe" video), features Cher as a sort of digital advisor helping a young woman recognize she deserves better in her relationship. Several remixes of the song are included on the CD single, including versions by Club 69 and the Pumpin' Dolls. With "Believe" still performing strongly on charts worldwide, "Strong Enough" seems poised to continue Cher's impressive return to the top of the dance music scene.

Single Of The Day: Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time
The song is proving to be a global success, already climbing charts rapidly around the world. In the United States, it recently entered the Billboard Hot 100 and is gaining momentum weekly. The accompanying music video, featuring Spears in a now-iconic schoolgirl outfit, has been in heavy rotation on MTV since its release. "...Baby One More Time" showcases the 17-year-old former Mickey Mouse Club member's impressive vocal talents and star quality. A debut album of the same name is scheduled for release on January 12, 1999, and if this first single is any indication, Britney Spears is poised to become one of the biggest new stars of the year. The CD single also includes the B-side track "Autumn Goodbye," also worth checking out for fans eager to hear more from this promising new artist.
