			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hipsters were able to rejoice last week with Arcade Fire taking over the top spot on the Billboard charts but their celebration with the indie band will have to get cut short as music industry experts say that Eminem’s ‘Recovery’ is making, for lack of a better term, big recovery back to the number one spot in its eighth week on the charts. Congratulations in advance go out to the rapper! It’s a well deserved spot. As for Arcade Fire, all hope is not lost. If they can maintain good sales, they have a chance at staying in the top 10 for a good while.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> If all you has-beens are planning to make a comeback, you may want to learn a couple of things from Eminem. The rapper’s latest disc ‘Recovery’ is holding strong at the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the fourth straight week, selling 195,000 copies. Congratulations to Eminem! Hopefully, he doesn’t veer off the path that he’s on now and keeps on giving us great music. I have to admit that I missed the guy. I wonder if he managed to dethrone Katy Perry on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and took the top honors there too.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lady Gaga is absolutely on fire as the singers latest single Bad Romance has hit the number one spot on Billboards pop songs. In case you lost count, that makes it the princess of pops fifth consecutive song to reach the top of the charts. Congratulations are most definitely in order for Lady Gaga. I cant wait until the next single comes out and hits number one too. She has to have broken another record or something. Lady Gaga is making history folks! And shes pretty much still just at the beginning of her career. Shes bound to reach higher things.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lady Gagas latest hit Bad Romance debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 last week at number 9! That makes it the fifth Top 10 single in America for the pop princess. The singers hit Paparazzi is still going strong at number 6 on the Hot 100 too! Lady Gaga is also at number 3 on the Digital Songs with 142,000 downloads of Bad Romance. With that, shes getting ever so close to reaching five number 1 singles from a single album. I have no doubt that its going to happen. We all just have to wait just a few more weeks, perhaps even just one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taylor Swift doesnt seem to be slowing down as the country singer officially has Billboards longest charting album of this century with her self-titled debut album. Taylor Swift was first released in October 2006 and now in its 157th week in the Top 200 albums chart beating out previous record holder Nickelback. If the cuties first album has done this well, I cant wait to see how well Fearless ends up doing. I can just imagine it breaking even more records. Congratulations Taylor! You are truly one amazing talent. I dont think us music fans will ever get to see another one like you in our lifetime.</p>

In the September 26th issue of Billboard, the Queen of Pops single Celebration has become the singers 40th number one single on the Hot Dance Club Play Chart.

According to Billboard, AEG sold $85 million worth of tickets along with $30 million spent on spent on production and $10 given to the late singer as an advanced payment. Theyre not sure whether nonappearance insurance will cover the unfortunate situation. If the King of Pop died from a drug overdose or a pre-existing condition, the producer will not get reimbursed and will be forced to refund 750,000 already purchased tickets.</p>

The movie might not even be in theaters yet but the soundtrack for the vampire movie ?Twilight? has snatched the top spot on the Billboard charts from rock icons AC/DC. The soundtrack has sold around 165,000 copies last week. 29% of which, or 48,000 were digital downloads. The soundtrack for the movie scored the second biggest digital download week for a soundtrack since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking album download sales in 2004. The biggest digital week honor goes to ?High School Musical 2? back in August 2007 when the soundtrack sold 62,000 downloads in a week. If the soundtrack is any indication, the movie ?Twilight? is going to be huge!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Universal Republic Records? rock band 10 Years landed a Top 15 debut on Billboard?s Top Album chart this week, coming in at #12 with their new album Division.  The new CD also grabbed the top spot on iTunes coveted rock page and currently sits at #7 on the Top Albums.  It also garnered the #1 spot on the Top Hard Music Chart, #2 on the Top Alternative Album Chart and #3 on the Top Current Rock Album Chart rallied by their soaring hit single ?Beautiful.? The single was launched at radio in early February and was the #1 Most Added single at Alternative and Active Rock radio.</p>
<p>The video for the new single has also garnered wide acclaim, with the clip taking a swipe at both celebrities and paparazzi in the current Gotcha game of celebrity journalism.  10 Years has also earned a place on one of 2008?s most anticipated summer tours, joining mega-rockers Linkin Park on their 5th annual rollout of the Projekt Revolution tour, which kicks off on July 16 at the Tweeter Center in Boston, MA.  10 Years will share the Revolution stage with multiple other bands on the raucous trek, including metal icons Atreyu, Hawthorne Heights, and Armor For Sleep.  The 24 city trek hits multiple major U.S. cities in July and August, including New York City on July 22, Washington DC on July 27, Atlanta on August 3, and Chicago on August 16, winding up in Houston Texas on August 24 for the final Projekt Revolution event at the Cynthia woods Mitchell Pavilion.</p>
<p>Critics have cited no let-down in the momentum10 Years established with the across-the-board fan response they received with their previous album The Autumn Effect, which spawned the hits ?Wasteland? and ?Through The Iris.?  ?Wasteland? was hailed by the rock, video, and digital world as one of the decade?s breakthrough rock singles, setting career highs for the band as it reigned for more than a year on the rock charts.  The song notched the #4 spot on the year-end Active Rock chart, and pulled off a hat-trick of #1 citations at Active Rock, Billboard?s Modern Rock chart, and in the Alternative Rock format.</p>
<p>The new album, Division, was produced by acclaimed production veteran Rick Parasher (Pearl Jam, Nickelback, Soundgarden. Rob Zombie, among others), and recorded during what the band<br />
has described as ?an intense creative process.? Songs on Division include ?Just Can?t Win,? ?Drug of Choice,? ?11:00AM (Daydreamer),? and ?Focus,? among others.  The latter song was co-written by guitarist Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots? fame.</p>
<p>Formed in 2002, members of 10 Years are longtime friends, gaining notoriety with their independent release Killing All That holds You, and signing on with Universal Records in 2005.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About Staind:<br />
In the past decade, Staind has had four No. 1 singles at mainstream rock radio, seen six more singles break the Top 10, and watched their last three albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Album Chart. The group has earned their place as one of the most successful rock bands of the new millennium, with four major-label studio recordings and a highly anticipated new release due later this summer.  Staind&#8217;s music and core sound remains timely and relevant, as the group&#8217;s primary focus has always been songwriting over fashion and the latest trend.</p>

<p>Chris Cornell went on the record with Billboard.com that he really liked David Cook?s rendition of ?Billie Jean? on American Idol last week ? especially because he did it first. In his interview, the rocker admits that the Idol wannabe ?sang it great? but then adds that ?it was literally a note-for-note take on what I came up with.? And they say Cook is an original. While Chris was given credit for the innovative arrangement on the show, Idol?s imitation also pays Chris off as his cover of ?Billie Jean? has jumped to #12 on iTunes. And by the way, Doxology was finally given credit for their version of ?Eleanor Rigby? which Cook also sang.</p>

<p>She may have conquered the iTunes singles chart but I guess that?s the only positive thing that we can expect from Mariah Carey. The curvaceous singer?s new single ?Touch My Body? is not on the number 15 spot on the Billboard singles chart this week. The song has been on the chart for six weeks but has failed to even just break into the top 10 having only peaked at a high of the number 14 spot last week. But with her single being number 1 on iTunes, here?s to hoping that the digital downloads will help her even just for a little bit.</p>

<p>Idol fans, this is your time for sweet revenge.  He may not have won the competition, but he won the hearts of album buyers this year.  Billboard named Chris Daughtry the most popular album of 2007.  They sold about 3.2 million copies.</p>
<p>Just half a million shy of that, in second place, is Akon&#8217;s album &#8220;Konvicted&#8221;, followed by the Hannah Montana soundtrack (2.5 million), Fergie&#8217;s &#8220;The Dutchess&#8221; (2.4 million), and Carrie Underwood&#8217;s &#8220;Some Hearts&#8221; (2.3 million).</p>
<p>Number one song of the year was &#8220;Irreplaceable&#8221; by Beyonce, with Rihanna coming in just behind with &#8220;Umbrella&#8221;.  Top tour of the year was The Police&#8217;s reunion tour, bringing in $212 million at last estimate.</p>

<p>Alicia Keys hit the top of the charts this week with her new album ?As I Am?. The gorgeous and talented singer has hit Number one with her album in the Billboard 200 charts, after it sold over 700,000 copies in the US. Blimey girl that?s a lot of albums!</p>
<p>Keys has had 3 previous albums hit number one in the first week of their release; hinting that this little lady is not just a pretty face. She seems to have the ?key? to our hearts, or at least our ears, as fans sweep in to buy her music as fast as it can hit the shelves.</p>
<p>And what a perfect name for the album. We?ll definitely take you as you are Alicia?it seems to be working so far. Keep your ears peeled folks ? if you haven?t heard it yet, get buying it; before it?s sold out!</p>

<p>A look at Evanescence on paper reveals a band that should be in its glory. Following a best new artist Grammy Award for 2003 debut studio album &#8220;Fallen,&#8221; a Billboard 200 No. 1 debut for 2006 follow-up &#8220;The Open Door&#8221; and the top 10 launch single &#8220;Call Me When You&#8217;re Sober,&#8221; the group toured the world for nearly a year. So what happened? Single follow-ups &#8220;Lithium&#8221; and &#8220;Sweet Sacrifice&#8221; never even charted in the States. The fourth single from &#8220;The Open Door,&#8221; piano-driven rock ballad &#8220;Good Enough,&#8221; is as intense and affecting as anything before it?and this time, Lee&#8217;s lyric steps from the dark side, reveling in the relief of positivity: &#8220;It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but I feel good enough.&#8221; It&#8217;s a make-or-break moment for a band that seemed to own the world one year ago.</p>

<p>Black Eyed Peas leader will.i.am says he&#8217;s &#8220;really excited and nervous at the same time&#8221; about becoming a solo artist with the September 25 release of &#8220;Songs About Girls.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I was like, &#8216;How and why should I put out a solo project?&#8217; I could just do another Black Eyed Peas record,&#8221; he tells Billboard.com. The hook, he says, was making &#8220;Songs About Girls&#8221; a semi-autobiographical conceptual piece &#8220;where all the songs could tell a story of falling in love, falling out of love, trying to get back in love, destructing love and destroying love and then starting a new situation. That journey is what makes this unique.&#8221;</p>
<p>The album features only one guest star, Snoop Dogg, on the electroclash-styled track &#8220;Donque.&#8221;</p>
<p>Besides the album&#8217;s 12 songs, will.i.am shot videos for eight of the tracks and stitched them together into &#8220;a movie about making a movie&#8221; that will accompany the CD.</p>
<p>will.i.am plans to perform some of the &#8220;Songs About Girls&#8221; material live when Black Eyed Peas hit the road for a two-month international tour on September 4 in Israel. The group will play in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America and Mexico but not in North America. &#8220;There&#8217;s no Black Eyed Peas record out,&#8221; he explains, &#8220;and America&#8217;s weird like that. If you ain&#8217;t got nothing in the marketplace, (the fans) ain&#8217;t showing up.&#8221;</p>
