Scotty McCreery recently premiered the music video for his song “The Trouble with Girls”. The Mark Bright-produced country song serves as the second single from the American Idol winner’s debut album “Clear as Day”. The song is enjoyable but it’s failing to impress on the charts. Scotty has done a couple of high profile TV performances with it but he’s still very low on the Billboard 100 and nowhere to be seen on iTunes USA’s top 100. Anyway, the video is pretty nice with a sweet story behind it. It was actually shot at Garner Magnet High School in North Carolina where Scotty is currently a senior.
Demi Lovato delivered a spectacular performance of her single “Skyscraper” on America’s Got Talent earlier this week. The track is the lead single from the pop singer’s upcoming third album called “Unbroken”, which is due out on September 20th. The song managed to top the iTunes Singles Chart and enter the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 recently. It’s such an emotional song, and with the vocals that Demi has, she can afford to show off and make the song even more beautiful during live performances. Dare I say it, she’s the best performer from the whole Hollywood Records roster.

Wiz Khalifa has recently premiered the music video for his song “No Sleep”. The track serves as the official fourth single from the rapper’s major label debut album “Rolling Papers”. Now I just want him to confirm a date for radio release in the US and kick off a TV promo. They should have given this the single treatment months ago when it went to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 when it was released as a digital-only single. But whatever, we have it now. As for the recently premiered video, it sees Wiz waking up and reminiscing the crazy night he had, which was full of partying with his friend and girlfriend Amber Rose.

Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” is an official hit. The track has been moving up on the Billboard Hot 100 chart weeks after its initial release and has become the highest charting Hot 100 rap hit by a solo female rapper ever since Missy Elliott’s “Work It”, which reached the #2 spot back in 2002. “Super Bass” is also only one of eight rap singles by a solo female artist to reach the top 10 in the chart’s 53-year history. Cash Money co-founder Ronald Williams isn’t surprised by the success of Nicki and the track, saying “Nicki isn’t like any other female rapper. We knew she had the goods when Lil Wayne signed her. She’s not a female rapper — she’s a pop star who happens to rap.” Congratulations!
Adele made it back to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart for the tenth consecutive week last week. Now, the British singer is having even more success on the charts with “Rolling in the Deep” finding its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for its seventh week. I’m also happy to announce that Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (TGIF)” has made it to the top 5 of the Hot 100. The song is also doing very well in the Digital Songs chart where it sits at number 1, replacing Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”, which fell back to number 5. A huge shout out goes to Pitbull for holding the number 2 spot on the Hot 100 with “Give Me Everything” too. Congratulations guys!
Bruno Mars has scored nothing but perfection with his music this past year and now, the R&B singer has made history. Bruno’s smash hit “Just the Way You Are” just reached its 20th week at the number 1 spot on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. He has beaten out Colbie Caillat and Daniel Powter, and now has the longest-reigning debut single in the list’s almost 50-year history. I think that it’s very well deserved. It’s been months since the song has been released and I still haven’t gotten sick of it. Heck, I’m listening to it right now. Congratulations to Bruno on the achievement!
Adam Anders, the executive music producer for “Glee”, has been successful in co-producing over 100 Billboard Hot 100 hits for the hit TV show. Now, he’s looking to capitalize on his success by making his own record label. Adam is currently working on albums by Zac Poor and Ben Burgess, and his first release will be the self-titled debut album of Disney star Shane Harper. When talking about the direction his record label will take, Adam said “I don’t believe in putting out a single and then if it doesn’t hit, drop the artist. We are here to develop artists — there is no timetable to getting it right.” I agree! I think that’s exactly what the music industry needs, a nurturing environment.

Cuban-American rapper Pitbull recently premiered the music video for his new smash hit “Give Me Everything” via VEVO. The track, which features Ne-Yo and up and coming singer Nayer, has peaked thus far at the #13 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100. I think it’s likely to crack the top 10 now with a visual in support of it. Speaking of the visual, the David Rousseau-directed clip captured the song’s essence and showed a non-stop party. If you want more of Pitbull and his music, his new album “Planet Pit” will be hitting stores on June 21st. What do you think?

I was quite impressed with Kenny Chesney when his album “Hemingway’s Whiskey” hit the number 1 spot on both the Soundscan Top 200 and the Country Albums charts. Now, the country singer’s success continues as his single “Live a Little” has become his 20th number 1 on Billboard’s Country Songs airplay chart. The song also marks Kenny’s third number 1 country songs hit from “Hemingway’s Whiskey”. Congratulations to Kenny on his success! He continues to impress and I don’t think he’s going to stop impressing any time soon. Are you among the people who have helped his song and his album reach this type of success?

Rihanna’s “S&M” has officially hit the number 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This achievement marks the R&B/pop singer’s 10th number 1 hit on the chart, and given the fact that her 1st #1 hit on the chart was May 2006’s “SOS”, Rihanna has achieved a record of having “the shortest span between a solo artist’s first and 10th No. 1s in the chart’s 52-year history.” The only artists who have gained 10 Hot 100 number 1’s faster than her are the Beatles and the Supremes. That’s not bad at all. If that’s not enough of an achievement, Rihanna has also become the youngest artist to land 10 number 1’s in the Hot 100 chart. Wow! Congratulations Rihanna!
John Legend has gone ahead and paid tribute to Adele. The Grammy-winning singer has recently unveiled a stunning a cappella cover of the British star’s smash hit “Rolling in the Deep”. Adele’s latest album “21” has reclaimed the top spot of the Billboard 200. Whether John’s cover is an attempt to gain publicity, there’s no denying that he did amazingly on it. Some may say that it sounds too close to the original but the final result was still hot. It’s soulful, powerful and very good. The backup vocals were right on point too. I wonder what Adele thinks of the cover. I actually hope that they record the song as a duet after hearing John sing it.

American electro pop singer Dev, aka the girl from Far East Movement’s “Like a G6”, has chosen The Cataracs-produced “In the Dark” as the official second single from her upcoming debut album “The Night the Sun Came Up”, which is scheduled for release late this Summer. The song sounds good and I think is so much better than her first single “Bass Down Low”, which only managed to peak at #61 on Billboard’s Hot 100. I like Dev’s vocals on the song even if it is auto tuned. The instrumentals are also pretty cool. If promoted right, this song can be a summer smash hit.
Dev – In the Dark – New Song
This is one big historic week on the Billboard charts. As of this week, the cast of “Glee” has placed an astounding 113 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 song chart. In the two and a half years that the hit TV show has been making amazing remakes, they have already bested Elvis Presley’s record of 108 for most charted songs by an act in the list’s 52 years. With the show seeming to not have any end coming soon, you can be sure that those numbers are still going to rise. As for this week’s charts, the show bested their own record by charting nine songs in a week, including Lea Michele’s rendition of Katy Perry’s “Firework”. Congratulations to “Glee”!

Avril Lavigne’s new single “What the Hell” has debuted at the number 13 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It’s a more than respectable debut considering that it’s only backed up mainly by its digital sales. I’m sure it will go higher on the chart once the music video comes out, radio airplay increases and when the Canadian pop rock singer starts promoting the song on TV. I’m not expecting Avril to reach number 1 though with Britney Spears’ “Hold it Against me” proving to be a monster single by debuting at number 1. I have a feeling that it’s going to stay there for a while. But even after that, Avril’s going to have to settle for a lower spot on the Top 5 since Lady Gaga would be back in February.
Panic! At the Disco is back this 2011 with a new album called “Vices & Virtues”, which will be available on March 29th. The project’s lead single “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” was officially released earlier this week so you know that the rock band has to start with promo rounds. Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith, the only remaining members of the lineup, kicked things off with an appearance on Billboard’s “Live Q&A”, where they performed an acoustic performance of the lead single. It’s the perfect execution and I’m not itching to see how they would perform the song with the drums and electric guitars.

Electro hip hop duo 3OH!3 have recently premiered the music video for “Touchin’ on My”. The song is the official third single taken from their latest studio LP “Streets of Gold”. The Matt Squire-produced song was released as a digital download back in May 2010, before the album hit stores, in the US. It peaked at number 49 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart back then. The song is now getting the official single treatment and will go for US radio spins in the coming weeks. I expect to see it go up higher in the charts with the support of this music video. The song is fun and I think it’s the strongest track off of their album. As for the video, it’s pure craziness that everyone’s sure to have fun watching.

Jay Sean is back with a new single called “Hit the Lights” which features rapper Lil Wayne. The song is a definite club banger. The J-Remy and Bobbygass-produced track will officially be released in the UK on February 8th. Jay’s new studio album “Freeze Time” will hit stores two weeks later on February 22nd. I think this song is going to kill on the radio. The singer’s latest track needs to get to number one because I think it’s miles better than “2012”. But if he’s planning to release this in the US, he better ask for some help with Lil Wayne if he wants to score another number one on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Ξ December 15th, 2010 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Kesha |
Ke$ha is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Billboard magazine. The 23-year old pop singer has several reasons to celebrate, including being named the magazines Hot 100 Artist of the Year, as well as Top New Artist. Ke$ha talked about her whirlwind past year with the magazine, saying I pretty much feel like Ive been reborn into this completely different existence. My entire life has become making music and playing shows, and I love it. Congratulations to Ke$ha for getting such an honor. Do you think she deserves it? I may not be a big fan of hers but I like her music enough to think that she does.

Nicki Minaj is featured on the cover of the upcoming issue of Billboard magazine which names the 25-year old rapper The First Lady of Hip Hop. In the accompanying interview, Nicki talks about her rapping style, saying When I started rapping, people were trying to make me like the typical New York rapper, but Im not that. No disrespect to New York rappers, but I dont want people to hear me and know exactly where Im from. I wanted the album to be universal and versatile. It really feels like it speaks for every one of my personalities. Its great that she wants to set herself apart from everyone else. I think thats why she has a lot of people supporting her.
Nicki Minaj has released a new song called “Fly” it features Rihanna

Mariah Carey has found herself on top of the charts granted its Billboards new Holiday Digital Songs chart but Im still happy for her. The pop singers first single from her new Christmas album Merry Christmas II You is the number 1 song on the new chart. Ironically, the number 2 song is her classic All I Want for Christmas is You. I dont think any Christmas song will ever surpass that one in overall numbers but heres hoping that the new album comes close. Congratulations to Mariah for finally getting another hit. Its been a while hasnt it? I bet shes happy.
I wasnt sure if I was ever going to see this happen again but theres finally some good news for Christina Aguilera. The once powerhouse singer turned wannabe electo-pop star has snagged the number one spot on Billboards Dance/Club Chart with her single You Lost Me from her huge flop of an album Bionic. Im not going to lie, Im shocked especially since the song is actually a ballad and not a dance song. But hey, a number one is a number one. Congratulations to Christina. This may be the last time that it would ever happen for you unless you admit that youre album is an epic failure and you go back to what you do best.
Linkin Parks album A Thousand Suns has reached the top spot on the Billboard charts, with 241,000 units sold. Its a pretty big slide from the bands 2007 release Minutes to Midnight which sold 623,000 units and debuted at number 1 as well. But theyre still number 1 so that should count for something. The music industry isnt the same as it was before. As far as singles go, the rock stars hit song The Catalyst hit number 27 on this weeks Billboard Hot 100. Theyre doing well for themselves but I really think they could be doing better. But I still extend my congratulations to the band for having a number 1 album.
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 Eminems 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! Its 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.
If all you has-beens are planning to make a comeback, you may want to learn a couple of things from Eminem. The rappers 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 doesnt veer off the path that hes 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.
For a second week, Eminems album Recovery is still on top. This is really of no surprise, the album selling 313,000 as Nielsen SoundScan reported. The album was sold in 1.1 million copies in the U.S., in two weeks time. The song “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna, also stays number one for a second week on the Digital Songs chart. The song was downloaded 280,000 times during these two weeks. The first single of this album was “Not Afraid released on April 29 and landed number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lee DeWyze was crowned the new American Idol last week and just like the champions before him, his debut single was rushed released into the music world. But unlike other Idols before him, the singers single is tanking. In its first week of sales, Lee has only sold 95,000 copies of his debut single Beautiful Day. It came in at #10 on the sales charts but its lack of airplay means it will come in much lower on the Billboard Hot 100. If you put things into perspective Kris Allen peddled 134,000 downloads of No Boundaries in its first week and David Cook sold 236,000 of Time of My Life and debuted at #1 on the charts. Welcome to the decline of the reality TV talent show! its the end of an era.
Kings of Leon is putting the finishing touches on their fifth album. Drummer Nathan Followill spoke to Billboard about how the band and producers Jacquire King and Angelo Petraglia did a majority of (the album) in New York City and decided to come home to do the last couple of weeks just to fool around and do it at home [in Nashville]. Honestly, with the success of the last recorda lot of people thought we would put a lot of pressure on ourselves and go in there and try to recreate what we thought was successful on the last record And Ill be damned if we didnt go in there and make a fun record. Its got songs that are beachy. Its got songs that are a little more of our (2003 debut album) Youth and Young Manhood days pretty much all across the board. Were super excited. Everything, we feel, fits perfectly for this project. Itll be interesting to see how well-received it is. Are you ready for new music from Kings of Leon?
Christina Aguilera is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Billboard magazine. In the accompanying cover article, Sia, one of the powerhouse singers collaborators, was quoted about what she thought of Christina. Sia said Christina [Aguilera] could shit in a bottle and her fans would still love it. Sorry to burst your bubble but that isnt going to happen any time soon. Christinas album would just drive my point home. However, if you said that Lady Gaga could shit in a bottle and her fans would still love it, I wouldnt argue with you at all. Yes, I said it.
After 16 years with the label, the boys of Weezer have left Geffen Records and plan to start producing their own music all on their own, also known as being indie. What that means, even the band doesn?t know, but bassist Scott Shriner told Billboard Magazine that they are definitely working on new music and are scheming something big for fans. One of the things that they have in store is a collection of B-sides and rare recordings the guys have had over the years. That sounds like a great way to recycle. Who?s interested in some new/old Weezer music?
Lady Gaga is absolutely on fire as the singer?s latest single ?Bad Romance? has hit the number one spot on Billboard?s pop songs. In case you lost count, that makes it the princess of pop?s fifth consecutive song to reach the top of the charts. Congratulations are most definitely in order for Lady Gaga. I can?t 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 she?s pretty much still just at the beginning of her career. She?s bound to reach higher things.
