Hottraxx
Salute TeeNation music lovers, it’s time once again to get your weekly Top 10 top up in this week’s Hottraxx.
From video premiers, to calling out twitter opponents, even a declaration of running for Presidency, the 35th annual Video Music Awards proved to us all why it’s called the biggest night in pop culture. It was definitely the hot ticket last Sunday night. Special shoutout to Taylor Swift who took home three Moonmen last night including the Moonman for Best Video.
Also, respect to the man of the hour Kanye West, who won the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. And respect for giving us one of the major shockers for the night with #KanyeForPresident2020. Hottraxx might’ve considered voting for you if we could. #OneManShouldHaveAllThatPower
But back to the reason why we are here. Get ready to update your playlist and dust off your headphones as we give you the Top Ten local and international hits in this week’s Hottraxx:1. Notice You – Kranium ft Vanessa Bling
Local List
In the first place this week is Vanessa Bling AKA Gaza Slim and Kranium with their new hit Notice You. The song, produced by Markus Records, came as shock to some, as the recently engaged Dancehall Diva was once romantically linked to Kranium and allegedly was in a feud with diva Tiana over Kranium. Messy right…? In any case the song is sure to be one of the early hits for this month.2. Wah Gwan Bredrin – Masicka
In second place this week is Masicka with his new single Wah Gwan Bredin. The upbeat track is the most recent release from the deejay and is expected to do very well this month. The song is the most recent track to be featured on the 6 Figga riddim which is in the running to be considered riddim of the year.3. Pound a Rice – Vybz Kartel
In third place spot this week is the ‘Worl Boss’ himself Vybz Kartel with Pound a Rice. Jugglerz Sound Dancehall Mixes has recently released a volume of songs by the incarcerated DJ, entitled “Bars From Behind Bars 2” which is the sequel to the 2014 release. 4. If Annu Money – Konshens
In the fourth place spot this week is the money-man himself Konshens, with If Annu Money. Kudos to Konshens who’s currently tied with Kartel for having the most hits on the local Chart this week.Ghetto People – Chronixx

International List
1.
Remaining in first place on the international list this week is Taylor Swift with her hit Wildest Dreams. Taylor, accompanied by her powerful posse and the stars of the Bad Blood music video, revealed the steamy music video for Wildest Dreams, which showcased a brunette Taylor opposite Scott Eastwood. Taylor channelled her inner Elizabeth Taylor as the video depicted a rocky romance between two old Hollywood movie stars shooting a scene in Africa. The proceeds from the music video are being donated to the African Parks Foundation of America.2. Back Together – Robin Thicke ft Nicki Minaj
In second place this week is Robin Thicke and Nicki Minaj with Back Together. The VMAs was also a great night for Nicki, who also won the award for Best Hip Hop Video. She opened the show in a stellar red African queen themed performance. She also started the show by mending bridges between with Taylor Swift who literally popped up on stage and helped Nicki during her performance. Safe to say the war is over between these two….. but Miley better watch her back.What Do You Mean – Justin Bieber
3.
Welcome back Justin! Justin Bieber gave his first performance at the VMAs in the last five years, and shut it down! With the great vocals and awesome choreography that we know and love, he also performed his new single What Do You Mean, I think it’s safe to say that the Biebs is back.Locked Away – R.
