After taking a much needed break, I am back and ready to gear up for the second half of 2012! Next week will mark the 25th countdown of the year, and with 25 more to go, there is still a lot to be decided in this year. New to the list this week is Regina Spektor's video for "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)".
Also debuting is the second single off of Usher's just-released new album, the excellent Looking 4 Myself. Along with "Scream", also expect to see Fiona Apple's return to the music video world with "Every Single Night."

When voting opens, expect to see the fastest rising song on radio at the moment, Cher Lloyd's single "What U Back". Also going for adds is the newest video from Havana Brown, who gets help from Pitbull on "We Run the Night." Twin Shadow, one of 2010's indie darlings (thanks to the still awesome Forget) is back with the first single off his second studio album, Confess, "Five Seconds".
