*Be sure to remember that if you buy the song once off iTunes- it only counts once. If you want to buy multiple copies or something, buy from different places, such as one copy from iTunes, one copy from Napster, etc. 'Gimme More' is still #1 on iTunes and we need to show Perez that he is lame and needs to just shut his mouth!
Here are two new pics of Britney from this week, the first being from a fashion show she went to Thursday night, and the second being her trip to Starbucks Friday. She is looking better, and I hope she only improves.
Kelly Clarkson did a small intimiate concert last night in Melbourne Australia, and she sounded amazing! Her voice seemed to be back to usual- no rasp or strain. She performed 'Sober' along with a few other songs, and I don't know where she pulled those vocals from, but she was brilliant. The high notes at the end of the song were even better than the album version! She's also performing on Australian Idol Monday Night, so be sure to catch that if you can, I'll also post it!
Congratulations to P!NK on her new #1 single on TOP 40 Radio! 'Who Knew' was released in May 2006, and has finally reached the top spot in late September 2007. That's a year and a half basically, which is unbelievable. P!Nk's label should think about releasing another single and quit with the "no more single" news. I'm willing to bet that there will be a new single- I doubt they are going to stop after two hits singles. I'd love to see 'Long Way To Happy' or 'I'm Not Dead' released.
Justin just keeps on having great singles and this is no exception. 'Until The End Of Time' has been doing very well on Urban and R&B radio formats as they played the song on their own, so I guess the label saw that radio was interested in this song so they decided to remix the song and release it as a single! Beyonce is featured on the single version, and she adds a little something extra to the song. I actually like the song a lot more now that Beyonce is featured on it. Should be a major hit!
Mary J. Blige is back with a new album coming out in November, and the first single in my opinion is a very late 90's, early 00's sounding song- and I seem to like it. I think the song will do well on radio, and Mary will probably sell as well as she did with her last album if she has more hits from this upcoming album.
Natasha Bedingfield is back with her new single 'Love Like This' and it's actually a newly added song to her recent album simply titled with her own name. Natasha released her album in the UK and other territories earlier this year, and she is finally going to release the album in the US with a few new songs and US mixes of a few of the other songs like she did with her last album. The song features Sean Kingston and is a great song which should do well on the charts!
Britney's new hit single is already TOP 20 on Radio, and it has just been released to iTunes early this morning! Britney is doing better than expected and we need to get her back to the top of the charts to shut all the haters up!
PLEASE if you are a Britney fan and visit this forum, go to iTunes and pay 99 cents and buy the 'Gimme More' single! Let's get the song to the top of the Hot 100!
Plain White Tee's covered 'Umbrella' I think as part of the special edition of their album and it's definitely an amazing version. I think this is my favorite acoustic version of the song by far. I'm going to see them in November and I really look forward to it, you should check out their album if you haven't already!
Kylie Minogue is releasing her new album this November I believe, and a new song that is on the album 'In My Arms' was posted on Perez Hilton's website. I almost will NEVER post a link to his site because I personally cannot stand him, but I couldn't find the song yet and I can only find it on his website. It's a great song, very euro-pop and I think from listening to this song that I'll enjoy the album a lot.
Darren Hayes did an acoustic set recently and covered Madonna's hit single 'Ray Of Light', and it was amazing. His vocal range is perfect for the song and I've always been a huge fan of Darren ever since Savage Garden. I'd love it if he actually covered the song officially and did a real version of the song.
Rihanna recently performed her new hit single 'Hate That I Love You' on Yahoo! Live and I must say that after hearing the song live it has grown on me so much. It's a beautiful song and it's already blowing up on radio. I didn't agree with the single choice at first, but I think I've realized that they will never release 'Rehab' like I think they should have, but it's alright! Video will premiere later this month.
30 Seconds To Mars were recently on Radio 1 and performed a cover of Kanye Wests' 'Stronger' and they did an amazing job of it. They took the song and completely made it their own- changed the arrangement, changed the mood of the entire song, even changed the lyrics to fit their sound. It's a great cover. Instead of copying the song they made it their own. It's the best cover I've heard in a while.
Ashlee Simpson is back with her new single and it's a hot song. It's very different from what you'd expect from Ashlee. It's not rocky at all, it's more urban- which comes at no surprise since she even recruited the hot hip hop producers lately including Timbaland. This song is definitely going to do well because it's a hot song. Someone went through and quieted the tags during the song except for the last tag at the end. As soon as the song leaks in HQ, I'll be sure to post it!
Ashanti is back with her first new album in a few years, and after the success of her last album's singles it'd be great to have her back on top yet again. The beat is almost a rip off of Diddy's 'Last Night', and it sounds almost similar, but it's hot nonetheless. Should be a hit for her even if it sounds REALLY similar to 'Last Night'.
I don't have the time to update anything tonight, so I found this remix of Chris Crocker telling everyone to leave Britney alone, and thought it was amazing. BEST thing EVER in life.. seriously.. LOL! I'll be able to update more often this week, soo sorry for the lack of updates lately! I'll start posting a few things daily.

Faith Hill is releasing 'The Hits' this fall, which will include her past hit singles, and a few new songs which include her past single 'Lost' and her new single 'Red Umbrella'. The song is a bit more poppy than the stuff she has released lately with her 'Fireflies' album, but it's a decent song overall. I'll have to wait until the video is released to really pass judgment on the song. It's decent, but not her best song.

Britney Spears was to perform under the magic of Chris Angel... but MTV freaked out at the last minute finding out what Britney was actually going to do. Supposedly, what Britney and Chris were planning was to do a set of mirrors and flotation. But when told to the Palms Hotel/Casino... the hotel flipped.
Insurance was the main problem, and the stage couldn't support the performance. MTV also freaked at the last minute because of their fear of being "too controversial" during the performance. Britney and Chris were furious with MTV's sad excuse and told Britney to change the performance at the last minute.
Britney's original performance was to infact appear and disappear. To float through the air... and for much mature dancing.
Remember to tune in tonight at 9pm/EST for the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards! Britney is opening the show, and there are tons of other performances and things going on. Also, I will be recording the performances I liked and will post them as soon as they are uploaded. For those who don't like the performances I recorded myself and wanted to see any other performances, I'll find those and post them!
*EDIT: I didn't get performances recorded because I cried! kidding. I had to leave to pick up a friend from somewhere halfway through the show.. I'll post performances I can find whenever I can. I'll post them tomorrow- I have to study tonight!
*Sorry, all the VMA videos for the most part were removed.

"MTV News can now confirm what may well be one of the worst-kept VMA secrets of all time: On Sunday night, Spears will grace the VMA stage, nestled within the Palms Casino Resorts' Pearl Concert Theater, to perform "Gimme More," the first single from her forthcoming fifth album, which is slated for a November 13 release.
Perhaps in homage to the glittery magic of Las Vegas, Spears consulted with illusionist Criss Angel, star of A&E's "Mindfreak," on "some of the moments of the performance," said Jesse Ignjatovic, the executive producer of this year's VMAs.
As for what we can expect from Ms. Spears, Ignjatovic wouldn't give up the goods, but promised fans would be thrilled. "You can expect the things we want and expect from Britney — that will all be there," he said. "What I've seen of it is great. She'll be dancing, performing, doing her thing. That's exactly what we all want. Fans that are familiar with her performance on previous VMAs will not be disappointed.""

*New Promo pic for the VMA's on the left. The VMA's air this Sunday on MTV @ 9pm/EST.
The NFL Kickoff Concert will air tonight on NBC at 8pm/EST, featuring performance by Kelly Clarkson, Faith Hill, Hinder and Bruce Springsteen. Be sure to tune in to catch these amazing performances, and if you're a Kelly fan- she sounded great during sound check I'm told, it'd be interesting to see if she'll sing something new. I'll be sure to get these performances posted as soon as I can if you missed them! I'd imagine they'd be online as soon as tomorrow.
Another Britney track has leaked, this time an older demo that she worked on during the In The Zone era. I repeat, This is NOT a new track! It's nice that all this older material is leaking, but not everyone knows if something is new or not, but this definitely isn't. Also, in other news- TRL mentioned today that Britney "might" perform this weekend at the VMA Awards! I'll watch just in case!
More Britney songs have leaked and the question is, are they real? I don't think they are tracks from the new album. In 2005, Britney Spears went on radio stations and premiered 'Mona Lisa' as her "new song". MTV even stated it was a new song being released. Britney had an entire album recorded and was ready to release it, but then had her child and it was all scrapped. People tell me all the time that 'Mona Lisa' was a demo, and it kind of is now, but it was meant to be on the album she had planned for release titled 'The Original Doll'. I think these songs being leaked are from the album that was never released in 2005! As more songs are leaking we may have two albums from Britney this year, one never released, and one new! 'Everybody', however is a new song which will be on the album!
Sara Evans is releasing her Greatest Hits album on October 2nd, and 'As If' is the first single from that package. This single isn't entirely "new", but I liked it and figured I'd post it! It's doing well on Country radio and the video is posted below as well if anyone cares to watch it! She definitely looks beautiful in the video.
Timabaland's new smash hit 'The Way I Are' has been remixed yet again and this time it features the members of OneRepublic who are featured on Timabaland and the bands new single 'Apologize'. The new single 'Apologize' is already doing well on radio and is sure to be another huge hit for them both.
Duran Duran are back with new material and this time a collabo with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland on their new single 'Nightrunner'. It's a decent song, nothing extremely special but it's an alright song to listen to every now and then- maybe it'll grow on me more as I listen to it a few more times.
