The stars of hit TV show Glee are glum over the show’s smash hit soundtrack. For the singing high school stars claim they have been short changed by Sony Music over royalties from the No. 1 album Glee: The Music ” Journey to the Regionals. More than a million of the albums have been sold to fans but stars such as Corey Monteith and Mark Salling are grumbling they have received minimal payments from it. “I got 400 bucks from it going No. 1,” Monteith told a Washington D.C. radio show. Many of the stars are now choosing to sign with different record labels for their solo projects, including Salling and Matthew Morrison. “The Glee cast is furious because they feel they were misled by Sony,” an insider told the New York Post. “They have all complained to executive producer Ryan Murphy that they want a bigger share of the royalties. “Sony should have known better ” they kept their hands on money that could have been paid to the cast. “But by upsetting the biggest talent on TV, the label is cutting its nose off to spite its face. It is myopic, short-term thinking on their part.” Reps for Sony and Fox did not comment.
Madonna just keeps on blowing minds and breaking records and it looks like she?s not going to stop any time soon. In the September 26th issue of Billboard, the Queen of Pop?s single ?Celebration? has become the singer?s 40th number one single on the Hot Dance Club Play Chart. That?s more hit singles than any other artist in the history of the chart! Talk about achieving a great milestone. I bet the second placer with regards to number one hits doesn?t even come close. Madonna is utterly amazing! Congratulations are definitely due out to her. And you can bet that there?s more where that came from.
Mariah Carey?s mediocre single ?Obsessed? debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at a very disappointing number 11. The new charts came in recently and as it was predicted, the singer has suffered a steep decline. Mariah?s single has dropped to number 20 and it?s likely that it won?t even crack the top 10 at all. Radio hasn?t been that receptive to the song and Mariah had just announced that she is delaying the release of her new album. That sucks for her. She needs to come out with a new song and hope that it will do loads better than the song that?s out right now.
