Play Hard

Artist: David Guetta feat. Ne-Yo & Akon
Label: Parlophone
Impact date: May 20
ROTD featured date: Wednesday 1 May 2013

We say

The staggering numbers attached to the runaway success story that is David Guetta still raise eyebrows. 42 million Facebook likes; six videos with more than 100 million VEVO views apiece; 3.5 million sales of fifth album Nothing But The Beat; 25 million singles sales from just that one record including seven UK top 10 singles and 1 million sales for Titanium alone. So why not release a ninth - yes, ninth - single when big numbers are your stock in trade? Play Hard, with its hook borrowed from Alice Deejay's Better Off Alone and guest vocals from Neyo & Akon rounds out a project with a lifespan of two years and counting. After two headline shows at Miami's Ultra Festival, Guetta returns to Europe in June to support Rihanna on her UK and Paris dates. Video.

London gig: June 15 and 16 - Rihanna support, Twickenham Stadium
