Want to know which fresh new music is hitting the (virtual) shelves this week? Then you've come to the right place. Here's our pick of this week's new releases...
Singles:
Helping Haiti Everybody Hurts
You've got to hand to it Simon Cowell. It can't have been easy to track down the likes of Mariah, Miley, Leona and erm... Susan Boyle all at the same time. Ok, so they weren't actually in the same room when they recorded this emotional cover of REM classic Everybody Hurts, but they did all give up their time for this very worthy cause. Dig deep and make this a massive hit.
Erik Hassle Hurtful
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Swedes ABBA, Robyn and Agnes by scoring a huge chart hit in the UK, 21-year-old Erik Hassle bears his soul on debut single Hurtful. His mid-tempo rock-pop sound makes a refreshing change from the auto-tuned electro pop dominating the charts at the moment and, if this track is anything to go by, we can look forward to great things from his debut album Pieces.

Taylor Swift Today Was A Fairytale
Taken from the soundtrack of new 'romcom' Valentine's Day, Today Was A Fairytale is Taylor Swift doing what she does best: laid-back country-pop with an irresistibly catchy chorus. We can just imagine this one playing over the end credits...

You Used To Hold Me is the fourth single to be taken from the Scottish singer-songwriter, DJ and producer's No.1 album Ready For The Weekend. Whack this one on when you're getting ready to go out and it will definitely get you in the party mood!
