Infatueighties: #87: “Love is a Battlefield”
“We are young…heartache to heartache we stand…no promises, no demands…”
Ahhhh, the drama of young love, right?
Pat Benatar’s rocking softened up a little bit on this 1983 hit. “Battlefield” was certainly her most synth-heavy and dancefloor friendly song up to that point. Her emotive crooning certainly struck a chord, “Battlefield” was also the highest-charting song of her career, landing at #5 that autumn.

MHW News Roundup: Estelle Has an iTunes Oops, Noel Gallagher Gets What For & More!!
Hey folks, here are some of the headlines floating through the music world this week, and no, I’m not talking about Kanye West’s arrest.
“American Boy”…now you see it…now you don’t…now you see it again!!
Following the lead of Kid Rock, whose “Rock & Roll Jesus”album has sold 2 million copies + without any digital media services, Atlantic Records pulled British singer’s “American Boy”off of iTunes about two weeks ago,although the song had climbed into the Top Ten on the Billboard charts. This was done with the intention of spurring album sales-remember back in the days when labels would take singles out of print or not release them at all to get you to buy the album? Same premise.

Don’t you just love the record industry?
Here’s the video for Estelle’s smokin’ new single “Pretty Please (Love Me)”
