Luciana Breaks The Drought

This week Luciana scores her first top 50 hit as the lead artist since 1994. That's a 17-year gap, people! While many fans think the dance diva began her career singing "Yeah Yeah" for Bodyrox, she actually started out making R&B-tinged pop as a veritable foetus in the early '90s. Since then she's been in three bands, released countless records as the featured artist and even recorded a duet with Betty White. I'm glad she can finally add solo star to her long list of achievements! The performance of "I'm Still Hot" boggles the mind. To go top 50 with a camp electro-anthem on an independent dance label with minimal airplay and little promotion is amazing. Hopefully, radio programmers will wise up to the surprise hit of the 2011 and start spinning it. Help them out by voting for the song on the Hot 30 and keep downloading Luci's smash from iTunes.

I guess now is as good a time as any to announce the winners of my "I'm Still Hot" comp:

Win A Signed Luciana Promo Single!

This is my favourite competition ever. Because it literally is exclusive to this blog. I've got a handful of "I'm Still Hot" promo singles to give away that were pressed simply due to my annoying kindly asking the record company. So this is THE only place to pick up a physical copy of the hottest dance track on radio. Luciana's latest is turning out to be something of a smash (#35 on iTunes and climbing), so I'm sure you will be hearing a lot more from the Queen of electro over the next couple of months.

How to enter:

1) You need to be following Luci on Twitter - her handle is @LucianaCaporaso

2) Once you've done that simply tweet me saying you want to enter the comp and you're in the draw - my handle is @poptrashmike

Unfortunately, you have to be in Australia but if you can passionately convince me of your devotion to the legendary dance diva, I'll make a couple of exceptions.

Good luck!
