This week, Marcus Collins follows-up his debut smash 'Seven Nation Army' with his new single 'Mercy'.
To celebrate, we've asked him to review a selection of songs released this month that he believes are tipped for chart success.
"I really like this. I saw Aiden at T4 a few weeks ago and we got talking. I'm excited to hear the follow-up single and album. He's come out with an original sound - it's kind of electro but there's something else in there as well. I wish him all the best with it because it deserves success. It's strange he's only in the music video for a split second - that must have been an easy video shoot!"
"It's very different from everything else he has done so far, but I love it. I watched his performance on Britain's Got Talent and I thought it was really great. I'm wondering where he gets all his ideas for those cool suits he wears! He's beyond cool. The brightly-coloured outfits, the brass section, the sample... it's a great track. I like the grimey music he makes as well, but this stuff appeals to my ear a bit more because it's what I do. I was shocked when I heard it, but very impressed."
"It's a very strange collaboration, but it's absolutely amazing and completely epic. Rihanna is all over the charts at the moment, but I've yet to actually see her live. I like that she's evenly distributing herself everywhere and working with everyone. She's one of the biggest artists in the world so she must be doing something right."
"This is my favourite song out there at the moment. The video is so cool - I love how everyone is going back to old school swag. I'd love to do a collab with them. We were both singing at an event the other day, and my God they can sing! They're working so hard too; they're at every event I'm at so I know they're busting a nut. I love the microphones in the music video as well. I actually got one for my birthday from my tour manager."
"I'm rooting for this track. It's my favourite song on the album, so I hope it does well! Because I wrote it, it feels like my baby. I'm very attached to it. There are a few more I'm hoping to release from the album; 'Love & Hate' and 'Don't Surrender' would be great. I can imagine myself walking along the river in a nice jacket and looking serious."
