This song is exploding most definitely! The song has already been played by one of the largest radio stations in the country- Z100 and is already #7 on their top countdown! This song is looking to possibly be massive for Britney. Thanks to airrockstar, a HQ rip of the song has surfaced and definitely sounds amazing. Bring on the rumored VMA Performance with Criss Angel if it's going to happen!
IT HAS ARRIVED! The new single from Miss Britney called 'Gimme More'. She is back and better than ever guys. This single is hot and I have to say it's my favorite Britney song yet. This is going to be huge and the radio is going to eat this up. Britney has brought it hard and people can shut the hell up now! Also an album tracked titled 'Cold As Fire' has also leaked.. whether it is a demo or the final version is yet to be known. Let's hope the entire album doesn't leak!
*Remember Natalie Imbruglia from the HUGE 90's smash single 'Torn'? Well she's releasing her 'The Singles: 1997-2007' album and this will actually be a new single in the US as well. It kind of reminds me of Torn so hopefully it'll get airplay!
Alicia Keys is ready to release her new album this fall and it's been said that this is her first single from the album. Her last album was amazing and was a great success for her so hopefully this time around she will have the same success.
Billboard's website has posted a new article today confirming reports that Britney's new single will be sent to radio as early as next week! There have been reports going around that Britney's new album drops this fall with NO promotion from Jive- but I find it hard to believe with the state of things right now that they won't promote Britney and the album. I guess we'll find out this fall for sure.
Jennifer Lopez had a secret mini-concert hosted by Z100 and she performed two new songs including 'Hold It, Don't Drop It' and 'Do It Well' along with a medley of her other hits. It seemed like a great show- should be interesting to see the promotion for this new album and all of her promo gigs.
*View the concert HERE.
The show is in two parts, so the 2nd is under the first.
Ashlee Simpson's official website, www.ashleesimpsonmusic.com, her new album will be released this November! A title for the album has not been released, and nothing is known about the first single as of yet. Her past albums have done well and I'm sure that the new album will do just as well. Word is that it's a very eclectic album incorporating rock, pop and dance.
Jordin Sparks, this years American Idol winner is releasing a new album this November and the first single will be 'Tattoo'. I'm not really a big fan of this song. It sounds like something you would hear on Radio Disney and it doesn't seem like something the label put a lot of thought into coming up with. The beat is recycled to hell and back, and I just don't think this is something that she should be doing. She is capable of much better. If this is what they want to release, I think her career is over before it even starts. Cute song, yes, but not the best song to release.
A higher quality version of 'The Beat Goes On' featuring Pharrel has leaked and I'm not sure whether it's the final version or not but it has some added beats, the vocals sound a bit smoother like in most final versions of songs, and it just sounds a bit different in parts. If it's not the final version then sorry, but it just sounded different to me so I felt like I would post!
A new album track titled 'The Beat Goes On' has surfaced featuring Pharrel which will probably be included on Madonna's upcoming album being released this fall. The song is a classic Pharrel song, and it's amazing! I love this song and I cannot wait to hear the first single and the album and all that. I tried to post this this morning but for some reason Blogspot was down and I wasn't able to post it, so sorry that it's late. I'm sure you all got it already, but just posting anyways!
*LINKS REMOVED. I was asked to take them down by certain sources. Sorry!
Entertainment Tonight has confirmed that Madonna will be performing with Justin Timberlake at this years MTV Video Music Awards slated to air on September 9th, 2007. More information is surely to become available closer to the performance, or it could just be a surprise as to what she's doing- we'll find out!
Kelly Clarkson performed tonight on the Canadian version of Idol and she was great! She performed Never Again and an acoustic version of Because Of You. For some reason Kelly looked bigger weight-wise last night. Something about her hair being styled and blonde along with tighter clothing makes her look a lot thinner for some reason. Kelly also announced that she will be touring Canada later this fall. A few tour dates have already been released for the US, but as soon as the full list is available I'll post it!
Ryan Cabrera released this song as a promo for something or another a while back, and it is now being used on So You Think You Can Dance?, and he re-recorded it and changed the arrangement some and maybe it's going to be included on his new album. I don't have the new version of the song, but there is a clip of it on Ryan's myspace page HERE. If you'd like to hear the original version of the song you can download it with the links posted below! It's a great song as well.
Ryan Cabrera also was a guest performer on So You Think You Can Dance? this week and his performance was great! He performed obviously I Will Remember You and did a great job at it. He's definitely changed his look- longer black hair instead of the blonde, spikey highlights. Can't wait for his third album. I didn't care for his last album much besides a few songs, but his first album is one of my favorite albums of all time- it's amazing.
*The single is for charity, so I'm not going to post it, but it's great and everyone shoud purchase it on iTunes. It's already #29 on their top songs! This is a very touching song and I'm glad she decided to pay tribute to her father again.
According to No Doubt Web, Billboard has confirmed that Gwen Stefani is releasing Early Winter as her fifth single from her platinum album The Sweet Escape in Ocotber of this year. Should be yet another hit single for Gwen after Now That You Got It. Hopefully she'll release six different singles like she did with LAMB. I wouldn't mind tour footage of Flourescent, because I know she performed it a few times before she took it off the list, or Orange County Girl. I just want as much solo stuff as I can get before No Doubt!
Gwen Stefani is releasing Now That You Got It as her latest single from The Sweet Escape, and the OFFICIAL Radio Edit has surfaced. It wasn't confirmed whether the album version or the remix would be sent to radio, but after listening to this I am blown away really. It's a mix of both the album version and the remix. I think it makes it better than it was before, without changing it's "hit" factor that it had in the original album version. It's better than it ever was before, so take a listen!
Britney was out to dinner last night with the famous magician Criss Angel discussing with him about maybe doing the VMA's together! This would make for a very interesting performance. If you watch his show Mindfreak on television he completely does the illogical sometimes, he's one of the best magicians out there IMO. This is going to be a killer VMA performance, can't wait to see it if this works out! This performance could be big for her, so I'm glad she's going all out!
Ignore these posts if you'd like.. I've just been having fun lately with speeding up songs and having people speed them up and such. It's just interesting to hear a song in a new way and you just might like it. This time it's Kelly Clarkson's Sober and I think it sounds interesting sped up a bit. It doesn't take away from the song, but yet it makes it sound a little more uptempo and not as depressing. Don't get me wrong, the song is a brilliant masterpiece the way it is, but this is just something interesting I felt like I'd post. Credit to 'David Is Back' from the Pulse Music Boards for making this and sharing it. I've definitely grown to like it a lot.
Radio stations usually play songs a bit faster than how they originally were, and I'm sure you've noticed this. Radio stations around here have been playing Who Knew a little bit faster than the original version, and I seem to like it faster. I guess it just comes down to personal opinion. I thought since there wasn't much to post today that I'd share this with anyone who wanted it. Actually thanks to Jtill from LD for making this for me. If you like this, great.. but if you don't it's just fanmade.
Recently the subject of Britney's custody battle with Kevin Federline became the topic on Nancy Grace's show on CNN. Now, Nancy Grace is known for her "big mouth" and the urge to tell everyone off an express her opinions openly that's for sure; I found it odd that she was on Britney's side in this. I have to agree 100% with Nancy. These facts that the people are bringing up are just statements that aren't based on facts. The woman keeps saying they are facts, but they aren't! None of these things she's said have been confirmed without a reasonable doubt and half of the things they bring up are inaccurate. I'm glad Nancy's on Britney's side!

Kelly Clarkson was spotted in Las Vegas with her friends from back home in Texas and she looks amazing! She looks as if she's been working out and slimmed down a bit and she's dyed her hair back to a more dirty blonde color like she's had before. Hopefully we'll get info soon on a new single or video as well as tour news. She's scheduled to have about three interviews and three performances on different shows within the next month, so check back for updates!
Linkin Park are releasing their new single around the beginning of October in the UK and their choice for the next single is Shadow Of The Day. I think this is a good choice, but I'd also like for them to release Leave Out All The Rest. This is a future release in the UK but things could change.
A new remix of Fergie's latest hit single Big Girls Don't Cry has surfaced featuring Sean Kingston.This is the official remix for the single and has been updated to include links to the HIGH QUALITY version fo the remix. It sounds great so enjoy!
It was just announced tonight on Jay Leno that Jon McLaughlin will be opening for Kelly Clarkson on her fall tour! You might remember or recall John McLaughlin releasing a song to pop radio recently called Beautiful Disaster. It's an amazing song and he should be an amazing opening performer for Kelly! Can't wait for tickets to go on sale as well as find out what the next single is!
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly releasing two singles at once in anticipation for her new album being released this fall. The way I understand it, Do It Well is for US promotion and Hold It, Don't Drop It is for promotion in the UK. We'll see how it pans out. I like both songs so I don't mind which one is in which place.
The Killers are releasing Bling (Confessions Of A King) as their fifth single from their album Sams Town and I'm not really sure if it will be their last single, but I'm assuming it will be. I wish they would have released a few other songs that I liked instead of this, but this should do well on some charts.
Natasha Bedingfield is releasing Say It Again featuring Adam Levigne as her next European single. I've thought this song should be a single for a while so I'm glad it's finally getting the release it deserves. Now if she only would release How Do You Do i'd be very happy with this album! I think this song will do well overall.
A new tracklisting for the US version of Natasha Bedingfield's new album N.B. has been posted on her official forums and it features a different tracklist from the European edition as well as a few new songs/versions. It features US versions/remixes of a few album cuts like How Do You Do and Babies like she did with her last album, but also a new song called Wrong Direction featuring Ne-Yo and Diddy. Whether this tracklisting is real has yet to be confirmed.
You can see the tracklisting and information HERE.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus had great success with their last single and I'm sure their new single Your Guardian Angel will do just as well if not better. I am really loving this song and I can honestly say it's probably one of my favorite songs of the year by far. This should be a big hit on Pop radio by the end of the year!
Rihanna's third single featuring Ne-Yo is being sent to radio next week. The single is a great song, nothing to complain about and it should do well, but I realy think that Rihanna is making a huge mistake by not releasing Rehab. Hopefully she will release the song before the singles are through and over with.
The Shiny Toy Guns released this song as a single months ago, but they are finally releasing it to Pop/Mainstream Radio this month, so I figured I would post it! It's an amazing song and they are a great band, one of my favorites. The song has a very 80's feel to it, but also a very electronic feel to it.
Thanks to Ali's blog, we now have the new Backstreet Boys song and I must say that I think this is my favorite song by them in a while. The song sounds like it'd be great for radio and the song is just great. The title is similar to Incomplete, but I think they have another hit song on their hands!
Akon has recently done a cover of Fall Out Boy's song The Take Over, The Break's Over and it really isn't that bad. I kind of like it to be honest and I've never really been a fan of Akon. Of course I like Fall Out Boy's version a lot more but this is a nice song to have. Akon's voice seems less annoying on this song.
Here are a few more things that Kelly Clarkson will be giving interviews/performing on. Can't wait to see Kelly again since she's been on a small hiatus for a while.

Paramore are releasing Hallelujah as their 2nd single in the UK, not sure about US yet since Misery Business is taking off on different formats. Great song. This band is amazing. Also, you can watch the new video with live footage HERE.
BUY their album RiotHERE.
Visit their official website HERE.
Carrie Underwood is back with her brand new single So Small from her upcoming album being released this fall and the song is good. I wouldn't call the song amazing, but it's decent. I like it, but nothing I'd play over and over like I did with some of her other singles. I think it might just take some getting used to.
