Bloc Party's first single off their new studio album, Four (out 24 August) has just received the remix treatment from RAC. "Octopus" is now available on iTunes to purchase as a single.
Olly Murs has one of the catchiest songs of the year in his hands with the Chiddy Bang featured single "Heart Skips a Beat". The former UK X-Factor runner-up is looking to follow in the footsteps fellow UK X-Factor contestants Leona Lewis and One Direction and score a mega hit right off the bat.
Elton John has always known how to get people interested in his music, and he's done it again, teaming up with members of Empire Of The Sun for an 8 track remix album, where Sir Elton granted the duo (working under the Pnau moniker) access to his master tracks of vocal takes from songs recorded during the period of 1970-76. The album, Good Morning To The Night, is now available on iTunes and streaming on Spotify.

As you vote for next week's countdown, I'd like to bring to your attention to my new music blog over on tumblr. I'll be posting my favorite new music in there, and it will be a great place to discuss the best of today's music.
Also, the OP has been updated with a full list of every #1 song in this chart's history, starting with Alicia Keys' "No One" and leading to this week's #1 video, the first ever #1 for Neon Trees, with the video for "Everybody Talks". In addition to that, the year end Top 10s for each year (2008-2011), as well as a list of the artists with the most #1 videos is also viewable on the first page.
Thanks for continually supporting this countdown, and I look forward to bringing it to you for the rest of the year as I complete my five year anniversary on ATRL and with the Sound Check countdown.
