Basshunter

The Swedish Famous StarBiography\\r\\n\\r\\nJonas Erik Altberg was born on 22 December 1984 in Halmstad, Sweden. He lived with his parents and younger brother near Tylösand, a famous Swedish beach. He started to produce music under the stage name "Basshunter" in 1999 with the computer program Fruity Loops, and released his first album, The Bassmachine, through his own home page in 2004. His interest in music became greater as he progressed. After several demo songs spread over the internet, he started to get phone calls from dance clubs that wanted to hire him as a DJ. In April 2006, he signed his first contract with Warner Music, releasing his first single, "Boten Anna". In Scandinavia, the song became a hit instantly and was the first ever Swedish language song to reach number one on the Dutch Top 40 Chart. His major label debut album, LOL would chart all over Europe and launch him into the forefront of dance music. When Basshunter reached 50,000 friends on MySpace, he celebrated by releasing "Beer in the Bar - Myspace Edit" and chatting via webcam with fans]. In 2007, Altberg released a re-recording of "Boten Anna", titled "Now You're Gone", featuring entirely rewritten lyrics to appeal to a foreign market. The song subsequently charted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and stayed there for 5 weeks.\\r\\n\\r\\nThroughout 2007, Basshunter has been working on a new album, titled Now You're Gone: The Album, after the leading single, set to be released on 14 July 2008. He has so released a small clip of "Camilla", while the song "I Can Walk On Water, I Can Fly" leaked unintentionally. After a planned release, "Please Don't Go", another single, was cancelled in an email to subscribers of the Hard2Beat newsletter. The single release was instead switched to "All I Ever Wanted", an English re-recording of "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA", in the vein of "Now You're Gone". Within the single newsletter, it was also revealed that the next album was indeed "on its way", along with the single, and that the album would be English reworkings of classic Basshunter songs.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nAlbums \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Bassmachine is the first album by Basshunter.

"...And More"\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n "Boten Anna " ("Anna, a bot") is a song by Swedish dance musician BassHunter, which appears on his second studio album LOL . Due to the song, BassHunter became a noted artist in his native Sweden, as well as Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Poland and the Netherlands after the release of the single in 2006. The song topped hit charts and – on May 3, 2006 – was named Norway's official Russ-song[1] of the year. It was also the most popular song at The Gathering demo party 2006.\\r\\n\\r\\nA bot named Anna occasionally resides in the IRC channel #BassHunter.se on Quakenet, albeit due to the popularity of the song, the channel, as well as #Anna, has been filled up with bots.\\r\\n\\r\\nSwedish lyrics\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Swedish lyrics of Boten Anna tell the story of a female IRC user mistaken for an IRC bot by the vocalist who later finds out the truth; subsequently, however, he states that she will always remain a bot in his eyes. The song is based on an actual experience of Jonas Erik Altberg (a.k.a. Basshunter), who explained the situation in an interview with the Finnish website Stara.fi. His friend said he would create a bot with administrative capabilities to keep order in his channel, #BassHunter.se; when this happened Jonas saw a new user with administrative capabilities named Anna enter the channel, and naturally thought this was the bot. Months later, he learned that Anna was actually not a bot, but was his friend's girlfriend; the embarrassment, he says, inspired him to create the song.\\r\\n\\r\\nDespite the esoteric subject of the lyrics, the song was well-received by mainstream media, albeit the word bot was frequently mistaken for boat (bot is commonly pronounced the same as boat in the dialect spoken by Altberg), and the double meaning of the word channel — the IRC channel mistaken for the body of water. The video to the song deliberately plays on double meanings, it shows BassHunter riding a "bass hunter" pedal boat (used for hunting the fish called "bass") with a capital "A" on it, down a canal.\\r\\n\\r\\nOther versions\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the Dutch Top 40 in the Netherlands, a spoof of the song has peaked at #6 in weeks 38 and 39 of 2006. It is also called "Boten Anna" and it is by De Gebroeders Ko, who also made other Dutch versions of known songs like "Dragostea din Tei". Although they knew the original song wasn't about a boat, they translated it as if it were (one called Anna). "Boten" is the plural form of "boat" in Dutch. In November another spoof of the song, again by De Gebroeders Ko, charted the Dutch Top 40. In week 47 the song called "Sinterklaas Boot (Boten Anna)" charted in the Dutch Top 40 and peaked at #7. This version of "Boten Anna" is about the boat of Sinterklaas. An Israeli band called Chovevei Tzion (חובבי ציון) spoofed "Boten Anna" with their popular single, "Rotze Banot" (רוצה בנות, meaning "I Want Girls"), which was extensively spoofed in turn.[2] Also the polish group Cliver made a version called "Za oknem deszcz" (engl. "Behind the window is the rain"). A German version of the song was released by Kid Bob, titled 'Die Dicke Anna' (The Fat Anna). The lyrics to this version are about a fat girl sitting in a boat. In Denmark the song was later made as a parody. The song was called "Hoen Anna" which means "Anna the whore". The Swedish lyrics are misheard and in that way it becomes Danish.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n"Now You're Gone"\\r\\n\\r\\n Main article: Now You're Gone (song)\\r\\n\\r\\nAn English version of "Boten Anna" titled "Now You're Gone", sung by an Anonymous, Unknown singer with the Net-Tag of Masrad, with unrelated lyrics, by DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz which was originally released in 2006, has become the music to a video by Basshunter with the same title in November 2007. The video and the track was met with world chart success and became the most requested record in summer holiday resorts around Europe in early 2008 and as people return from their holidays wanting to hear it again, TV channels in the UK have been inundated with requests for the video.[citation needed] On the 13 January 2008, "Now You're Gone" entered number one in the UK Singles Chart and spent five weeks at the top of the charts, ending Leon Jackson's three week run with "When You Believe". [3] In the sixth week after the song's release it was knocked off the top by Welsh songstress Duffy, with her song "Mercy". The song reached No. 1 on the Irish singles chart on February 2nd 2008. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nVi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nVi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" (English "We are sitting in Ventrilo, playing DotA" and in some countries shortened to "DotA") is a song by Swedish dance DJ Basshunter. The lyrics, in Swedish, are about using the voice chat program Ventrilo while playing the Warcraft III Custom Map Defense of the Ancients. The song incorporates samples from the game. It was released as the second single from Basshunter's second album LOL . The melody for DotA is a remixed version of Daddy DJ.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nMusic video\\r\\n\\r\\nThe video starts out with Basshunter's mother opening a door where it reveals that he and his friends are playing DotA. She tells him that he's playing too much DotA when he starts singing. The video continues on showing him playing DotA and later singing at a gamehall live. The gamehall was shot during Dreamhack, the world's largest LAN party event. At the end of the video, he and all his friends fall asleep in his room.\\r\\n\\r\\nNotes: The mother is actually Basshunter's mother. Some scenes are taken from Boten Anna.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe new video starts with him sitting in a chair and a young woman dancing.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nCD single\\r\\n\\r\\n 1. "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" [Single Version] - 3:55\\r\\n 2. "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" [Club Mix] - 5:43\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nNow You're Gone" is a song performed by dance musician Basshunter in cooperation with DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz. The single uses the same music as "Boten Anna", Basshunter's major European hit in 2006, but its lyrics, performed in English, are completely different.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nDifferences from Boten Anna\\r\\n\\r\\nThe song's theme is different from "Boten Anna"; "Boten Anna" is about an IRC bot, and "Now You're Gone" is about a young couple breaking up. The music video expands on this theme, although it suggests a reunion of the couple, which is not referenced in the song itself. The tempo of the song has also been increased compared to "Boten Anna".\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nReception\\r\\n\\r\\nThe song peaked at No.1 on the Irish Singles Chart, in the UK it entered at No.14 on downloads alone. It peaked at No.1 on the UK Singles Chart and the British iTunes Chart. Now You're Gone stayed at the UK No.1 spot for five weeks before being knocked off by Welsh female artist Duffy with her song "Mercy".\\r\\n\\r\\nOn June 16, 2008, The Kiss Radio Network in the UK added the song to their playlist, 6 months after the initial release.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nPromotional Video\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Norwegian model Aylar Lie plays the female lead in the music video of the song. The other two girls that are with Aylar Lie are, Silje Lian who is in the pink top before she gets changed and Marielle Mathiassen who is the other lady.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe music video expands on the song's theme of a young man and a woman ending their relationship, depicting the couple breaking up over SMS text messages. At the end of the video, the couple kiss, but the lyrics do not follow this event.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nFormats and track listings\\r\\n\\r\\n2-track CD single\\r\\n\\r\\n 1.

"Boten Anna" (Radio Edit) - 3:30\\r\\n\\r\\n "All I ever Wanted" is a song by Swedish eurodance musician Basshunter. It is similar to Basshunter's previous single "Now You're Gone". The melody for "All I Ever Wanted" is largely a remixed version of Daddy DJ, and is also similar to Basshunter's song DotA, but is not the same song.\\r\\n\\r\\nPlease Don't Go\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nPlease Don't Go" is a song recorded and released in 1979 on the KC and the Sunshine Band album Do You Wanna Go Party. The song was the band's first love ballad, in which the subject pleads obviously for a second chance. Ironically, shortly after the song's one-week run at number one, the group broke up and Harry Wayne Casey went solo. The song was the band's fifth and final number-one hit on Billboard Hot 100 charts.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nCharts\\r\\n\\r\\nThe song is incorrectly noted by some sources as being the last number one hit of the 1970s and the first of the 1980s on the Billboard Hot 100. In fact, it was only the number one song for the chart week of January 5, 1980. It was both preceded and followed at number one by "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes, which dropped to number two for the week that "Please Don't Go" was number one.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt also reached number three on the UK Singles Chart in January 1980.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nDouble You version\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 1992 the song was covered by dance music group Double You and was a major hit in Europe.\\r\\n\\r\\n[edit] Track listings\\r\\n\\r\\nCD maxi\\r\\n\\r\\n 1.

But due to technical difficulties, the release was cancelled and "All I Ever Wanted" took its place on July 7. It had much more success than originally thought as All I Ever Wanted reached number 2 in the UK charts.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt is more than likely that this song will be the follow up UK single to "All I Ever Wanted"\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nTrack listing\\r\\n\\r\\n"Please Don't Go" (CDM)\\r\\n\\r\\n 1.

Pictures Inc., founded Music Publishers Holding Company (“MPHC”) to acquire music copyrights as a means of providing inexpensive music for films. Amongst the historic compositions in which the publishing rights are controlled by WMG are the works of Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Its printed music operation, Warner Bros. Publications, was sold to Alfred Publishing on 2005-06-01.\\r\\n\\r\\nHistory\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nWMG's roots in what became Time Warner date back to the founding of Warner Bros. Records as a division of the Warner Bros. movie studio in 1958, in reaction to one of its contracted actors, Tab Hunter scoring a hit for Dot Records, a division of Paramount Pictures. In 1963, Warner Bros. purchased Reprise Records, founded by Frank Sinatra 3 years earlier so that he could have more creative control over his recordings. Reprise was operated in conjunction with WBR.\\r\\n\\r\\nAfter Warner Bros. was sold to Seven Arts Productions in 1967 (forming Warner Bros.-Seven Arts), it purchased Atlantic Records, now WMG's oldest label. For the next 2 years, Atlantic and its subsidiary label Atco Records were operated separately from WBR and Reprise.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 1969, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts was sold to the Kinney National Company. Kinney (later to be known as Warner Communications) combined the operations of all of its record labels. The following year, Kinney bought Elektra Records and its sister label Nonesuch Records, and assembled the labels into a group known as Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, also called WEA for short, or Warner Music Group. The WEA name was also used as a label outside the U.S.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the mid-1970s, WEA expanded by purchasing Asylum Records and Sire Records. The former was merged with Elektra to form Elektra-Asylum, though the separate names would still be used as well. The latter became a sublabel of WBR in the meanwhile.\\r\\n\\r\\nWEA's labels also distributed a number of otherwise independent labels. For example, Warner Bros. distributed Straight Records, DiscReet Records, Bizarre Records, Bearsville Records, and Geffen Records (the latter was sold to MCA in 1990). Atlantic Records distributed Swan Song Records.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 1987, it was announced that Warner Communications was to merge with Time Inc. to form Time Warner, a transaction which was completed in 1990.\\r\\n\\r\\nAtlantic started 2 new subsidiary labels in the early 1990s - EastWest Records (which absorbed Atco Records) and Interscope Records. The former was later absorbed into Elektra, and the latter was also sold to MCA in 1995.\\r\\n\\r\\nTime Warner sold the company in late 2003 to a group of investors led by Edgar Bronfman, Jr. for $2.6 billion. Time Warner was reportedly attempting to reduce its debt load. This spinoff was completed on February 27, 2004. In the 2004 transition to independent ownership, WMG hired record industry heavyweight Lyor Cohen from Universal Music Group (successor to MCA) to attempt to reduce cost and increase performance.\\r\\n\\r\\nWMG's current logo is the former Warner Communications logo.\\r\\n\\r\\nOn May 5, 2006, WMG apparently rejected a buyout offer from EMI[2].[dead link] Then WMG offered to buy EMI and it also rejected the offer. As of 2008, EMI has since been purchased by Terra Firma Capital Partners.[citation needed]\\r\\n\\r\\nRecently, WMG acquired Rykodisc (home of the Frank Zappa catalog), and Roadrunner Records.[citation needed]\\r\\n\\r\\nOn December 27, 2007, Warner announced that they would sell digital music without Digital Rights Management through AmazonMP3, making them the third major label to do so.[1]\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 2007, Warner Chapell sent a Cease and Desist letter to Walter Ritter, the creator of a freeware program (PearLyrics) which was used to find lyrics of songs using the internet. In response to wide negative publicity, they subsequently apologized and offered to cooperate with him on the application; however, no subsequent overtures seem to have been made, and the software remains unavailable.[2] In August 2008, Lyor Cohen sold 23 percent of his shares in the company.[3]\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n

The Swedish Famous StarBiography\\r\\n\\r\\nJonas Erik Altberg was born on 22 December 1984 in Halmstad, Sweden. He lived with his parents and younger brother near Tylösand, a famous Swedish beach. He started to produce music under the stage name "Basshunter" in 1999 with the computer program Fruity Loops, and released his first album, The Bassmachine, through his own home page in 2004. His interest in music became greater as he progressed. After several demo songs spread over the internet, he started to get phone calls from dance clubs that wanted to hire him as a DJ. In April 2006, he signed his first contract with Warner Music, releasing his first single, "Boten Anna". In Scandinavia, the song became a hit instantly and was the first ever Swedish language song to reach number one on the Dutch Top 40 Chart. His major label debut album, LOL would chart all over Europe and launch him into the forefront of dance music. When Basshunter reached 50,000 friends on MySpace, he celebrated by releasing "Beer in the Bar - Myspace Edit" and chatting via webcam with fans]. In 2007, Altberg released a re-recording of "Boten Anna", titled "Now You're Gone", featuring entirely rewritten lyrics to appeal to a foreign market. The song subsequently charted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and stayed there for 5 weeks.\\r\\n\\r\\nThroughout 2007, Basshunter has been working on a new album, titled Now You're Gone: The Album, after the leading single, set to be released on 14 July 2008. He has so released a small clip of "Camilla", while the song "I Can Walk On Water, I Can Fly" leaked unintentionally. After a planned release, "Please Don't Go", another single, was cancelled in an email to subscribers of the Hard2Beat newsletter. The single release was instead switched to "All I Ever Wanted", an English re-recording of "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA", in the vein of "Now You're Gone". Within the single newsletter, it was also revealed that the next album was indeed "on its way", along with the single, and that the album would be English reworkings of classic Basshunter songs.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nAlbums \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Bassmachine is the first album by Basshunter.

"...And More"\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n "Boten Anna " ("Anna, a bot") is a song by Swedish dance musician BassHunter, which appears on his second studio album LOL . Due to the song, BassHunter became a noted artist in his native Sweden, as well as Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Poland and the Netherlands after the release of the single in 2006. The song topped hit charts and – on May 3, 2006 – was named Norway's official Russ-song[1] of the year. It was also the most popular song at The Gathering demo party 2006.\\r\\n\\r\\nA bot named Anna occasionally resides in the IRC channel #BassHunter.se on Quakenet, albeit due to the popularity of the song, the channel, as well as #Anna, has been filled up with bots.\\r\\n\\r\\nSwedish lyrics\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Swedish lyrics of Boten Anna tell the story of a female IRC user mistaken for an IRC bot by the vocalist who later finds out the truth; subsequently, however, he states that she will always remain a bot in his eyes. The song is based on an actual experience of Jonas Erik Altberg (a.k.a. Basshunter), who explained the situation in an interview with the Finnish website Stara.fi. His friend said he would create a bot with administrative capabilities to keep order in his channel, #BassHunter.se; when this happened Jonas saw a new user with administrative capabilities named Anna enter the channel, and naturally thought this was the bot. Months later, he learned that Anna was actually not a bot, but was his friend's girlfriend; the embarrassment, he says, inspired him to create the song.\\r\\n\\r\\nDespite the esoteric subject of the lyrics, the song was well-received by mainstream media, albeit the word bot was frequently mistaken for boat (bot is commonly pronounced the same as boat in the dialect spoken by Altberg), and the double meaning of the word channel — the IRC channel mistaken for the body of water. The video to the song deliberately plays on double meanings, it shows BassHunter riding a "bass hunter" pedal boat (used for hunting the fish called "bass") with a capital "A" on it, down a canal.\\r\\n\\r\\nOther versions\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the Dutch Top 40 in the Netherlands, a spoof of the song has peaked at #6 in weeks 38 and 39 of 2006. It is also called "Boten Anna" and it is by De Gebroeders Ko, who also made other Dutch versions of known songs like "Dragostea din Tei". Although they knew the original song wasn't about a boat, they translated it as if it were (one called Anna). "Boten" is the plural form of "boat" in Dutch. In November another spoof of the song, again by De Gebroeders Ko, charted the Dutch Top 40. In week 47 the song called "Sinterklaas Boot (Boten Anna)" charted in the Dutch Top 40 and peaked at #7. This version of "Boten Anna" is about the boat of Sinterklaas. An Israeli band called Chovevei Tzion (חובבי ציון) spoofed "Boten Anna" with their popular single, "Rotze Banot" (רוצה בנות, meaning "I Want Girls"), which was extensively spoofed in turn.[2] Also the polish group Cliver made a version called "Za oknem deszcz" (engl. "Behind the window is the rain"). A German version of the song was released by Kid Bob, titled 'Die Dicke Anna' (The Fat Anna). The lyrics to this version are about a fat girl sitting in a boat. In Denmark the song was later made as a parody. The song was called "Hoen Anna" which means "Anna the whore". The Swedish lyrics are misheard and in that way it becomes Danish.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n"Now You're Gone"\\r\\n\\r\\n Main article: Now You're Gone (song)\\r\\n\\r\\nAn English version of "Boten Anna" titled "Now You're Gone", sung by an Anonymous, Unknown singer with the Net-Tag of Masrad, with unrelated lyrics, by DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz which was originally released in 2006, has become the music to a video by Basshunter with the same title in November 2007. The video and the track was met with world chart success and became the most requested record in summer holiday resorts around Europe in early 2008 and as people return from their holidays wanting to hear it again, TV channels in the UK have been inundated with requests for the video.[citation needed] On the 13 January 2008, "Now You're Gone" entered number one in the UK Singles Chart and spent five weeks at the top of the charts, ending Leon Jackson's three week run with "When You Believe". [3] In the sixth week after the song's release it was knocked off the top by Welsh songstress Duffy, with her song "Mercy". The song reached No. 1 on the Irish singles chart on February 2nd 2008. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nVi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nVi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" (English "We are sitting in Ventrilo, playing DotA" and in some countries shortened to "DotA") is a song by Swedish dance DJ Basshunter. The lyrics, in Swedish, are about using the voice chat program Ventrilo while playing the Warcraft III Custom Map Defense of the Ancients. The song incorporates samples from the game. It was released as the second single from Basshunter's second album LOL . The melody for DotA is a remixed version of Daddy DJ.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nMusic video\\r\\n\\r\\nThe video starts out with Basshunter's mother opening a door where it reveals that he and his friends are playing DotA. She tells him that he's playing too much DotA when he starts singing. The video continues on showing him playing DotA and later singing at a gamehall live. The gamehall was shot during Dreamhack, the world's largest LAN party event. At the end of the video, he and all his friends fall asleep in his room.\\r\\n\\r\\nNotes: The mother is actually Basshunter's mother. Some scenes are taken from Boten Anna.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe new video starts with him sitting in a chair and a young woman dancing.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nCD single\\r\\n\\r\\n 1. "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" [Single Version] - 3:55\\r\\n 2. "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" [Club Mix] - 5:43\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nNow You're Gone" is a song performed by dance musician Basshunter in cooperation with DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz. The single uses the same music as "Boten Anna", Basshunter's major European hit in 2006, but its lyrics, performed in English, are completely different.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nDifferences from Boten Anna\\r\\n\\r\\nThe song's theme is different from "Boten Anna"; "Boten Anna" is about an IRC bot, and "Now You're Gone" is about a young couple breaking up. The music video expands on this theme, although it suggests a reunion of the couple, which is not referenced in the song itself. The tempo of the song has also been increased compared to "Boten Anna".\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nReception\\r\\n\\r\\nThe song peaked at No.1 on the Irish Singles Chart, in the UK it entered at No.14 on downloads alone. It peaked at No.1 on the UK Singles Chart and the British iTunes Chart. Now You're Gone stayed at the UK No.1 spot for five weeks before being knocked off by Welsh female artist Duffy with her song "Mercy".\\r\\n\\r\\nOn June 16, 2008, The Kiss Radio Network in the UK added the song to their playlist, 6 months after the initial release.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nPromotional Video\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Norwegian model Aylar Lie plays the female lead in the music video of the song. The other two girls that are with Aylar Lie are, Silje Lian who is in the pink top before she gets changed and Marielle Mathiassen who is the other lady.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe music video expands on the song's theme of a young man and a woman ending their relationship, depicting the couple breaking up over SMS text messages. At the end of the video, the couple kiss, but the lyrics do not follow this event.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nFormats and track listings\\r\\n\\r\\n2-track CD single\\r\\n\\r\\n 1.

"Boten Anna" (Radio Edit) - 3:30\\r\\n\\r\\n "All I ever Wanted" is a song by Swedish eurodance musician Basshunter. It is similar to Basshunter's previous single "Now You're Gone". The melody for "All I Ever Wanted" is largely a remixed version of Daddy DJ, and is also similar to Basshunter's song DotA, but is not the same song.\\r\\n\\r\\nPlease Don't Go\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nPlease Don't Go" is a song recorded and released in 1979 on the KC and the Sunshine Band album Do You Wanna Go Party. The song was the band's first love ballad, in which the subject pleads obviously for a second chance. Ironically, shortly after the song's one-week run at number one, the group broke up and Harry Wayne Casey went solo. The song was the band's fifth and final number-one hit on Billboard Hot 100 charts.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nCharts\\r\\n\\r\\nThe song is incorrectly noted by some sources as being the last number one hit of the 1970s and the first of the 1980s on the Billboard Hot 100. In fact, it was only the number one song for the chart week of January 5, 1980. It was both preceded and followed at number one by "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes, which dropped to number two for the week that "Please Don't Go" was number one.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt also reached number three on the UK Singles Chart in January 1980.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nDouble You version\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 1992 the song was covered by dance music group Double You and was a major hit in Europe.\\r\\n\\r\\n[edit] Track listings\\r\\n\\r\\nCD maxi\\r\\n\\r\\n 1.

But due to technical difficulties, the release was cancelled and "All I Ever Wanted" took its place on July 7. It had much more success than originally thought as All I Ever Wanted reached number 2 in the UK charts.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt is more than likely that this song will be the follow up UK single to "All I Ever Wanted"\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nTrack listing\\r\\n\\r\\n"Please Don't Go" (CDM)\\r\\n\\r\\n 1.

Pictures Inc., founded Music Publishers Holding Company (“MPHC”) to acquire music copyrights as a means of providing inexpensive music for films. Amongst the historic compositions in which the publishing rights are controlled by WMG are the works of Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Its printed music operation, Warner Bros. Publications, was sold to Alfred Publishing on 2005-06-01.\\r\\n\\r\\nHistory\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nWMG's roots in what became Time Warner date back to the founding of Warner Bros. Records as a division of the Warner Bros. movie studio in 1958, in reaction to one of its contracted actors, Tab Hunter scoring a hit for Dot Records, a division of Paramount Pictures. In 1963, Warner Bros. purchased Reprise Records, founded by Frank Sinatra 3 years earlier so that he could have more creative control over his recordings. Reprise was operated in conjunction with WBR.\\r\\n\\r\\nAfter Warner Bros. was sold to Seven Arts Productions in 1967 (forming Warner Bros.-Seven Arts), it purchased Atlantic Records, now WMG's oldest label. For the next 2 years, Atlantic and its subsidiary label Atco Records were operated separately from WBR and Reprise.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 1969, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts was sold to the Kinney National Company. Kinney (later to be known as Warner Communications) combined the operations of all of its record labels. The following year, Kinney bought Elektra Records and its sister label Nonesuch Records, and assembled the labels into a group known as Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, also called WEA for short, or Warner Music Group. The WEA name was also used as a label outside the U.S.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the mid-1970s, WEA expanded by purchasing Asylum Records and Sire Records. The former was merged with Elektra to form Elektra-Asylum, though the separate names would still be used as well. The latter became a sublabel of WBR in the meanwhile.\\r\\n\\r\\nWEA's labels also distributed a number of otherwise independent labels. For example, Warner Bros. distributed Straight Records, DiscReet Records, Bizarre Records, Bearsville Records, and Geffen Records (the latter was sold to MCA in 1990). Atlantic Records distributed Swan Song Records.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 1987, it was announced that Warner Communications was to merge with Time Inc. to form Time Warner, a transaction which was completed in 1990.\\r\\n\\r\\nAtlantic started 2 new subsidiary labels in the early 1990s - EastWest Records (which absorbed Atco Records) and Interscope Records. The former was later absorbed into Elektra, and the latter was also sold to MCA in 1995.\\r\\n\\r\\nTime Warner sold the company in late 2003 to a group of investors led by Edgar Bronfman, Jr. for $2.6 billion. Time Warner was reportedly attempting to reduce its debt load. This spinoff was completed on February 27, 2004. In the 2004 transition to independent ownership, WMG hired record industry heavyweight Lyor Cohen from Universal Music Group (successor to MCA) to attempt to reduce cost and increase performance.\\r\\n\\r\\nWMG's current logo is the former Warner Communications logo.\\r\\n\\r\\nOn May 5, 2006, WMG apparently rejected a buyout offer from EMI[2].[dead link] Then WMG offered to buy EMI and it also rejected the offer. As of 2008, EMI has since been purchased by Terra Firma Capital Partners.[citation needed]\\r\\n\\r\\nRecently, WMG acquired Rykodisc (home of the Frank Zappa catalog), and Roadrunner Records.[citation needed]\\r\\n\\r\\nOn December 27, 2007, Warner announced that they would sell digital music without Digital Rights Management through AmazonMP3, making them the third major label to do so.[1]\\r\\n\\r\\nIn 2007, Warner Chapell sent a Cease and Desist letter to Walter Ritter, the creator of a freeware program (PearLyrics) which was used to find lyrics of songs using the internet. In response to wide negative publicity, they subsequently apologized and offered to cooperate with him on the application; however, no subsequent overtures seem to have been made, and the software remains unavailable.[2] In August 2008, Lyor Cohen sold 23 percent of his shares in the company.[3]\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n
