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.
