DJ H has done it again, bagging yet another smash hit number one iTunes record, this time hitting the top spot on the world chart just an hour after the single was released at midnight last night.

Two versions of Jawani 2 were released at midnight including the normal mix and the desi remix, and by 8am this morning the two versions had secured the top spots on the iTunes chart sitting at number one and number two respectively on the chart.

The official music video for Jawani 2 featuring DJ H doing all manner of crazy stunts including sky diving and motorcycle racing, has also been released to coincide with the single’s debut on the iTunes chart.

The stunning video was shot on location in Dubai and will definitely put a smile on your face as DJ H and Jas Johal live it up in the sun-soaked UAE and indulge in a whole host of crazy activities. The video closes with DJ H paying tribute to his friend and former Kudos Music colleague, DJ Unkz, who sadly passed away in February last year.

It feels especially fitting for H to pay tribute to the late DJ in Jawani 2 as the spirit of the song is to embrace life and enjoy your youth, a message which is especially poignant when you consider that some people don’t get this chance if their lives are unexpectedly cut short.

If you’ve not heard the new number one iTunes single from DJ H, Jawani 2, where have you been?! Get online now and check out the smash hit single, Jawani 2 from DJ H, Nirmal Sidhu, Jas Johal & Angel.

US pop singer and international superstar, Lady Gaga, has touched down in India this week and performed a sell out performance to an audience which included some of Bollywood’s biggest names.

The Bad Romance singer gave an amazing performance at Arjun Raampal’s closing party for the Indian Grand Prix over the weekend, singing some of her biggest hits and also giving an exclusive first performance of her new single, Marry the Night.

Famed for her elaborate stage shows, Lady Gaga didn’t disappoint during her first performance in the country, putting together a special performance incorporating many authentic Indian elements as a fitting tribute to the host country.

The 26-year-old singer had a sitar player flown in especially to accompany her during her gig, and chose to wear a sari by Indian fashion designer, Tarun Tahiliani, although in typical Gaga style she ripped up part of the sari and teamed the look a white bodysuit to create her own unique twist on the traditional Indian look.

The singer declared she’d waited a “lifetime” to perform in India and that she’d initially been asked to sing just three sings during her set, but flatly refused, instead performing a full show including a number of acoustic renditions of her most famous hit songs.

The performance went down a storm with some of the biggest names in Bollywood who’d snapped up tickets to the exclusive party to celebrate the final day of the Grand Prix. Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Bipasha Basu were all reported to have been present to see Lady Gaga perform for the first time ever in India.
