Backstreet Boys: 'Satellite' (New B-Side!)
2008-01-02 23:53:00
Backstreet Boys current single 'Helpless When She Smiles' isn't doing too well on the charts at the moment even with a great video, but that doesn't seem to stop them from making good music. The bands new album 'Unbreakable' seems to only be selling well in Japan where they still are loved, and it just doesn't make sense to me. The album is probably their best since Black & Blue or even 'Millenium'. They deserve success and I think they will get it eventually since they keep trying and never give up. This song 'Satellite ' is a b-side featured on their current single. [LINK #1] Backstreet Boys- 'Satellite' [LINK #2] Backstreet Boys- 'Satellite'

Extra: Janet On The Set Of Video!
2008-01-02 23:40:00
*Credit: Kevipod for the video!* Janet Jackson was featured on Extra on the set of her new video for her new single 'Feedback' and she looked great. The video, as Janet states, is supposed to have a futuristic look into what her "perfect world" would be like. That should be very interesting. Janet also talks about her upcoming album where she says there are a mix of different songs- uptempo dance tracks, midtempo songs, ballads, and baby making songs. The video is also rumored to be premiering tonight on Extra, so check back for a clip of the video or video if it does indeed air.

Kelly Clarkson: New Album News!
2008-01-02 23:33:00
Ryan Tedder posted on his own personal producer myspace page that he is working with Kelly Clarkson , although it is not sure whether it is both writing and producing, or just one or the other. The post included this information: 'CURRENT WRITING AND PRODUCTION PROJECTS: Esmee Denters, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Cornell, NLT, Paula Deanda, Leona Lewis? U.S. release & Jennifer Hudson'. This should be an interesting collaboration as Ryan is great at making hits, and I cannot wait for Kelly to be on top of the game again! Now, don't be so quick to think Kelly is selling out for hits- Kelly mentioned recently that she loved OneRepublic's music and sound, and that is probably why she is working with him as he is the lead vocalist of the group. It's also rumored the album will drop this fall- so can't wait!

Evanescence- 'Weight Of The World' (New Single)
2008-01-01 08:18:00
Evanescence is releasing their new single 'Weight Of The World ' in Latin America, and some South American countries, but it isn't known if the song will be released in the United States, Europe or worldwide for that matter. The song is great and I wouldn't mind if it were released in the United States at all. 'All That I'm Living For' should be the next single if they release anymore for sure.

Janet Jackson: New Magazine Photoshoot!
2008-01-01 07:38:00
Janet Jackson recently had a photoshoot for 'Prestige' Magazine in Hong Kong and she looks absolutely stunning. It's a fresh new look for her, and something that isn't showing her breasts and body, as she is clothed while still looking sexy. I think that works for her more so than the bearing all look she's used to. Also, Janet has a brand new single 'Feedback' out now, and available for download on iTunes! Be sure to support Janet and purchase the single, request it on your local radio station, and buy the album that will be out in the US titled 'Discipline' on February 26th! ...... ......

Fergie: 'Finally' (New Single!)
2008-01-01 07:25:00
Fergie is releasing yet another single from her multi-platinum selling album 'The Dutchess' and the last and final single will be the ballad 'Finally '. The song is decent and shows off her vocal abilities which she doesn't always show, but I think that songs like 'All That I Got' and 'Pick It Up' are better choices. This song will end her string of hits and will not chart well, but it's still something and I'm sure there will be a video filmed soon as well. [LINK #1] Fergie- 'Finally' [LINK #2] Fergie- 'Finally'

2007-12-29 22:54:00
Room2012 is a band consisting of three guys an a girl from the German Popstars show, and their new album 'Elevator' should be interesting after hearing the first single 'Haunted '. The song is great, kind of sounds like 'My Love' as some people have brought up, but it's decent song and I like it, so felt like posting it. Download and watch the video below!

Britney: 'Let Go' (Blackout B-Side Final Edit)
2007-12-27 07:39:00
Britney recorded this song 'Let Go' during the sessions for her new album Blackout , and while no slower songs made the final cut, this is the final version posted on the producers official myspace page. It's a nice ballad for sure. Great song. Hopefully the final version of 'State Of Grace' will surface sometime in the near future- that song was amazing.

Maroon 5: 'Goodnight, Goodnight' (New Single!)
2007-12-23 19:24:00
Maroon 5 are releasing their fourth single 'Goodnight, Goodnight' after their current single 'Won't Go Home Without You' is through on the charts. They even have got Sophie Muller directing the video in London, so it'll be a good video. Only concern is that it's a slower song, and they had much better single choices to pick from.

Spice Girls: '2 Become 1' (Live Performance!)
2007-12-23 18:40:00
The Spice Girls recently performed their past hit single '2 Become 1' on the UK show Strictly Come Dancing, and I was very surprised to see that they were singing 100% live and there can be no doubts about that. They did the song justice and I think that they should sing live more often and not lip synch so much! It was a great performance. I have tickets to see them in February in NYC, so I'm very excited to see them!

Jennifer Lopez: 'Brave' (New Single!)
2007-12-22 04:30:00
Jennifer Lopez is not releasing 'Hold It Don't Drop It' as the second US single after all. That will now serve as the UK's second single, as Jennifer shot the video for her second US single which will be 'Brave' with producer Michael Haussman. I hope that the label actually doesn't give up and releases 'Stay Together', 'Forever' and 'Wrong When You're Gone' afterwards. Stream and download the single below!

Spice Girls: New Record Deal/Album?
2007-12-20 22:39:00
The Spice Girls are on the brink of replacing Robbie Williams at EMI as part of a new multi-million pound album deal, Metro.co.uk can reveal. Insiders at the record label plan an audacious move for the girls to record new material. It comes just days after rumours the label is set to ditch Robbie Williams because his music is failing to sell. The whole deal rests on the success of the Spice tour, which has already been dogged by rumours of bitch fighting between the band. A record company insider said: 'EMI has more than 2,000 artists and as one of the labels biggest stars Robbie represents more than one percent of the group's review. Last year it was far less than that - massively.' Williams had a disastrous year in 2007 letting it all hang out in Amsterdam and fading into the shadows of former band Take That. His highest chart position missed the top 10 with 'She's Madonna' limping in at number 11 - one chart position that won't make 'good business sense' to EMI and on...

Ashlee: 'Outta My Head' (Video Premiere!)
2007-12-19 06:51:00
Ashlee Simpson has just premiered the video for her new single 'Outta My Head *Ay Ya Ya' on Yahoo! Music, and the video is absolutely brilliant. It's one of the best videos this year for sure and will have a great impact on the song I think. It's very Gwen, and I think Ashlee may have a hit on her hands and a catchy song and a video never hurt!

Nicole Scherzinger: 'Puakenikeni' (New Single!)
2007-12-19 06:29:00
Nicole Scherzinger, after having two flop songs under her belt, and an album that isn't even released yet is hoping to have a hit with her new single 'Puakenikeni' although I don't see Nicole having success with this album at all to be honest. I think she needs to re-evaluate her songs and single choices and completely start from scratch with a new project. This just isn't working for her- but that's only my opinion- and to each their own!

2007-12-17 08:15:00
Avril is supposedly releasing 'Runaway ' as the fourth single from her platinum selling album 'The Best Damn Thing'. This song is good, and should do well on radio. I think she should release either 'I Don't Have To Try' or 'The Best Damn Thing' as the next single if she releases anything else, though. Stream the single, and download the song below!

Miley Cyrus , better known for playing the pop superstar Hannah Montana on the Disney series, released her own album along with the Hanna Montana album last summer. The new single from her real life album is 'Start All Over' and it's a good song to be honest. I think it should have been the first single instead of 'See You Again', but thank god it's actually a single- I think it would do well with promotion.

Timbland ft. Keri & Nicole: 'Scream' (New Single!)
2007-12-17 05:24:00
Timbaland is releasing 'Scream ' as the next single from his album 'Shock Value'. The single sounds like a song that would be a leftover from Britney's 'In The Zone' album, so if you liked the mellow songs such as 'Early Mornin' then you'd probably love this song. Hopefully 'Time' will be released next. The video for the single is confirmed to premiere on Yahoo! Video Premieres website in mid January.

Natasha Bedingfield is releasing a new album this winter, and it will be a little different than her recent release. The album will include a few songs from the recent 'N.B' release in the UK, but it will also include a few 'American' mixes of songs from the past album as well as a few new songs and a completely different album cover and packaging. The album will be titled 'Pocket Full Of Sunshine ' and the title track from the album was recently posted on Natasha's myspace profile. It's a great song and should definitely be a single for sure!

Britney: 'Piece Of Me' (Video Premiere!)
2007-12-15 03:55:00
Britney's new video for her hit single 'Piece Of Me' is miles better than the last video for the first single 'Gimme More'. She looks stunning and although she seems kind of insecure about herself, it's definitely a great step forward. The video features a few different scenes involving the paparazzi, and it's a good video in general! This video should stay on MTV and VH1 unlike 'Gimme More' which fell off soon after it premiered. Stream the full video at MTV, or Britney's Official Site.

Celine Dion: 'Eyes On Me' (New Single!)
2007-12-15 01:21:00
Celine Dion is releasing her new single 'Eyes On Me' after a hit first single worldwide, and the new single is an alright song. It seems a bit desperate- but it's something that Celine hasn't done before and it's nice to hear from her. It reminds me of a mix of Beyonce's 'Baby Boy' and something from Shakira. It should do well, maybe even do alright on US radio- time will tell for sure, but I think it has a great shot. [LINK #1] Celine Dion- 'Eyes On Me' [LINK #2] Celine Dion- 'Eyes On Me'

Above are some pictures from the video shoot, and look very interesting. Pete Wentz was quoted saying "It's like a Salvador Dalí painting meets 'Being John Malkovich.' She just went to this weird place for it. It has this kind of multiple personality, like the song does." Sounds like an amazing video for a fun and fiesty song!
