TV airplay chart: a batch of future hits are already making their mark on the first TV airplay chart of 2004.(Airplay TV)

9. Blazin' Squad

Here 4 One is perhaps the most unusual Blazin' Squad single to date, blending their usual lite rapping style with a lengthy piano intro and almost operatic interlude. It is not doing much at radio yet--it ranks B28 on the radio airplay chart--but it is very popular on music TV, soaring 163-9 on the chart this week, thanks to support from stations MTV Hits (68 plays), The Box (61), Smash Hits TV (27) and Flaunt (13).

13. Michelle McManus

TV made her and TV is playing her--Michelle McManus, that is. The 2003 Pop Idol's introductory single All This Time rockets 114-17 on the TV airplay chart with 154 plays, almost half of them (74) coming from The Box. Ironically, although one of the judges suggested radio might be a kinder medium for McManus, radio is not behind the disc in a big way yet--it ranks 288th on the radio airplay chart at present.
