HNR

YOUR HOT NEW RELEASES: A number of tracks we've been monitoring for a while (including U.K. X Factor winner/chart phenom Ella Henderson's "Ghost," above) officially impact Pop radio this week, while Modern Rock welcomes new music from some core artists. We admit to being unnaturally geeked about new arrival Royal Blood; WB's Brit band is helping to bring the rawk back to Alt in a big way.

TOP 40
Gipp f/Cee Lo Green, "Shine Like Gold" (Epic)
Ella Henderson, "Ghost" (SYCO/Columbia)
Afrojack vs. Thirty Seconds to Mars, "Do or Die" (Def Jam)

ALTERNATIVE
Cage The Elephant, “Cigarette Daydreams” (RCA)
Cold War Kids, “All This Could Be Yours” (Downtown)
Jack White, “Would You Fight For My Love?” (Third Man/Columbia)
Royal Blood, “Figure It Out” (Warner Bros.)

In other news, Russian cosmonauts have apparently discovered alien life forms, but they're too tiny for Steven Spielberg to make a movie about them. (8/25a)
