Look out Dizzee, Tinchy, Taio and Chippy - Tinie Tempah is the UK's new Number One. Tinie aka Patrick Okogwu, born 7 November 1988 is a rapper and MC from South London. He was born to Nigerian parents Frank & Rosemary Okogwu and has one brother; Kelvin Okogwu who currently attends the same St Paul's Academy as his brother. Tinie's first break came with his track 'Wifey' when a writer from the New York Times gave it a glowing review, noting Patrick’s shifting rhyme schemes, delivery and "nerve." Tinie Parlophone Records debut album is 'The Disc-Overy' is due in Summer 2010.
Tinie Temper aka Patrick Okogwu

Make way for the new wave... this is the teenies British craze equivalent of the 60's beat groups, 70's glam/punk, 80's new romantics/acid house, 90's Britpop/London soul and the 00's Arctic led indie fest and it shows no sign of abating...

Nine new tunes this week - and after just a week's absence The Black eyed Peas are back with 'Rock That Body'in at 24 - their fourth UK hit pulled from 'The End' - Stateside they've gone with a different track for fourth single with 'Imme Be' top for a second week.

Surprising in the week Lady GaGa's Monster Ball tour came to Cardiff and the UK that 'Telephone' is struggling for a fifth week in the 30s reaching a high today of 31. Support act Alphabeat's top pop tune 'Hole In My Heart' drops ten to 39.

Lady GaGa proves that all the political correctness laws in the world can't stop offensive behaviour, and in fronty of our eyes too. Stephanie as her Mum knows her gave a scintilating live performance on Red Dragon Wadio last year only to this year have Kam Kelly calling her Lady BoiBoi everytime he mentions her. I bet you would Kam, you know, if you were ... you knwo. Then on Friday Jonathan Woss is taking aim with Lady GeeGee. I know she excells with her drama, she's superb on stage and her debut album, full of top songs has launched a new genre selling ten million copies for Diamond status in just a year - but she looks kinda fragile on interview duty. Still as Bernard Manning said 'Never take a joke seriously'... I suppose...

With a sell ot tour and a top four single Ellie Goulding can add Number One Album to her CV as 'Lights' goes straight top the top. .

Last night BBC1 Wales showed an interesting documentary on one of India's newest rock stars... Bridgend boy and former Losing Son drummer Jayce Lewis... still widely unknown here it's well worth a view, his 'Icon' tune has been massive in Asia and it's on it's way back to the UK.

Get Real Real
Posted Friday 5th March 2010
It's so sad to see a big grown up company like Real Radio / Guardian Media Group behaving like utter jerks.
The recently disappeared Tony Wright has again left a trail of heartbroken listeners with the radio station feeling unable to be honest with it's 'customers'.
Now the Real Radio Facebook page reports his co-host Angela J sounding not herself, and no wonder.
One of Wales On Sundays 50 Sexiest Welsh Women must have been asked to keep silent on the departure of a fellow she has worked with closely for three years.
Surely this offends her human rights in some way - Miss J appearing utterly inhumane in not apparently noticing the departure of her long time co-host Mr Wright - and surely she can not be unconcerned at the numerous requests for news of him.
The act in vain because many fear the exit door is approaching for her also.
The new Real Radio Wales Breakfast Show Hosts have revealed themselves to be nine year Northampton radio stalwarts Simon Jagger and Chris Wood - who probably would have had to have given at least two to three months notice to begin at Real Radio Wales in April.
If I were a betting man, I'd say they stand as good a chance as Jason Harrold's Red Dragon Breakfast Show replacement/s ... ie not much.
It's commercial radios' tacky bland disdain for decent behaviour that is killing it - leading them mistakenly to target undermining the BBC rather than create their own good.
Despite all the attacks on it BBC management frequently demonstrates industry leading standards of practice and decency - note the year long consultation over their intended axeing of BBC 6 Music.
As Mrs Thatcher put it "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong".

Uncertainty we're told - the reason the pound's plunging and investors are reconsidering the UK - the prospect of a fourth spend spend Labour Government.
It seems the BBC don't believe Labour are closing the gap on the Tories.
The scrapping of BBC Asian Network
(a snip at seventeen times the cost of even the bloated Radio One), BBC 6 Music, Blast, Switch (what on earth is Switch - some kind of moronic brain numbing machine?) and the halving of the number of BBC.co.uk web pages seems to be an attempt to be nice to an incoming Tory / Murdoch Government - falling in line early with their new policy of a smaller less competative BBC.
Well we'd all do well to take the opinion polls with a large dollop of salt.
YouGov tell us today Labour are only 5% behind the Tories - 38% to 33% with the 'Liberals' on 16%.
See UK Opinion Polling Report here
This would account for a remarkable 88% of the electorate in favour of these three parties alone. An unbelievable regenerated enthusiasm for our electoral process since last June when only 34% voted in the European Election. The Tories won that with 27% of the 34% that voted, Labour were third on 15% and the Libs fourth on 13% ... then beginning with second placed UKIP on 16% the ten next most popular parties polled six million votes between them .... six million of an electorate which in total numbers around forty million - that represents 15% for that lot alone - then add in the non-plussed non voters ....
See Wiki analysis of UK EU Results 2009 here
So where on earth does 38%, 33% and 16% come from???

Prejudice?
Posted Sunday 28th February 2010
If you want to see discrimination in action try spotting coverage of Newport County on BBC Wales or ITV Wales. After going out of business in 1989, the Welsh FA forced the reborn County to play their home games in England as only the love of their fans remained to bring the club back to life.
Now with the dream of returning to the Football League looking increasingly worthwhile there seems to be some kind of unofficial Welsh TV prejudice against covering County's supreme efforts.
Newport are possibly three games away from completing an amazing promotion to the Blue Square Conference, one division below the Football League proper - 21 points ahead of their nearest challenger with a staggering goal difference of plus 52 and just 12 games to go. In front of another 2,000 plus crowd at Newport Stadium on Saturday they completed their 12th victory in 15 league games beating 4th placed Braintree Town 1-0.
see it on BlipTV here.
We pay tribute to the perseverence of all County's supporters and management who've done what many would have thought impossible. They deserve a mention on Wales mainstream TV and Radio media every week as their great achievement nears.
