DURAN DURAN
(Reach Up For The) Sunrise

New Wave icons Duran Duran are back with “Sunrise,” the first single from their upcoming album Astronaut. This is their first album of new material made with all five original members in over twenty years! Anticipation is building and the buzz is strong at Adult radio nationwide, with a number of key stations already giving it solid, steady airplay. What do you think of “Sunrise”? Will it be as popular as Duran Duran’s previous hits like “Rio,” “Hungry Like The Wolf” or “The Reflex”? Log on to the Star 100.7 Music Challenge II page and vote!

DIDO
Sand In My Shoes

This is the 3rd single off her 1.8 million selling album Life For Rent. “Sand In My Shoes” blends a more upbeat tempo with Dido’s warm and familiar vocals. What do you think of the song? Listen to it a few times before making any decisions, and then be sure to make your prediction on the Music Challenge II page. Good luck!

SWITCHFOOT
Dare You To Move

Local band Switchfoot is back with their second single on the Star 100.7 Music Challenge II. “Dare You To Move” is the second single off their fourth album, Beautiful Letdown. Their first single “Meant To Live” has been in the top 5 on Greg & Jen’s Top 20 Countdown, and has been in heavy rotation on Star’s playlist for several weeks in a row. Switchfoot’s classic sound can be heard in “Dare You To Move” and the lyrics are predictably thought provoking. What’s your prediction for the song? Do you think it has the same appeal and longevity as “Meant To Live”? Good luck with your vote!

THE KILLERS
Somebody Told Me

New to Star 100.7, is the Las Vegas rock band, The Killers. Their debut single “Somebody Told Me” is on this week’s Music Challenge II and its danceable, retro feel has built a considerable buzz over the past few weeks. These 22-year olds have put together an ‘80’s sound, with catchy hooks and vocals to match. Music critics liken their vocals to those of Duran Duran’s. What’s your opinion? After you’ve listened a few times to “Somebody Told Me,” log on to the Music Challenge II page at www.histar.com and rate it!
