SuBo Domination: Susan Shatters Leona’s Record in UK with Over 400K Sold!
Susan Boyle has successfully conquered the world, but results in her native UK are staggering. The 48 year-old Britain’s Got Talent contestant sold 412,000 copies in her home country alone, more than enough to top Leona’s record for the fastest-selling debut album ever. Leona sold 375,000 with her debut Spirit in 2007. Susan Boyle’s debut, … Read more
Video of the Week: Surprised Kitty
Sorry Cheryl Cole, but this kitty’s got you beat. This is, hands down, one of the cutest things I have ever seen, ever!
Download of the Day UK (11/29): Shadows by Westlife
Earlier this month, veteran boybanders Westlife made their return to British pop music with a brand new single. Okay, calling a Westlife single “brand new” is kind of a joke, since a good portion of their catalog are covers. The cover they released this time? “What About Now”, a song from American Idol favorite Chris … Read more
Download of the Day (11/29): Whataya Want From Me by Adam Lambert
Highly influential New York radio station Z100 has been spinning Adam Lambert’s second single “Whataya Want From Me” for a week or two now. They completely bypassed his lead single, the title track of his just-released album For Your Entertainment, helping its status as an utter flop. Yet, it’s easy to see why they jumped … Read more
Some Notes About New Moon…
Last weekend, I went with my friends to go see New Moon. The movie theater was PACKED, for that film alone, so I figured it would be a movie worth seeing. After mulling it over for a week, here are some thoughts about the film: About 65% of New Moon was about someone staring. Whether … Read more
Joe McElderry MUST Win The X Factor!
So, I have been somewhat following this season of Britain’s The X Factor for two major reasons. One, because Cheryl Cole owns a part of my soul. Two, Leona Lewis came from that show, and she owns another part of my soul. Clearly, I have a vested interest in who comes from Simon Cowell’s other … Read more
Best Bits from Rihanna’s Rated R Album
I know, back-to-back posts about Chris Brown and Rihanna… I could write a review about Rihanna’s new album Rated R, but I feel like I would be writing the same review that I wrote for Kanye’s 808′S and Heartbreak. What I can say is that this is her best album to date, her darkest album … Read more
Download of the Day (11/28): Crawl by Chris Brown
Chris Brown is a douche. Worse than that, Chris Brown is an incoherent douche (in my opinion, if you are going to be a douche, at least have the decency to properly articulate yourself, which he clearly cannot do, if his interviews are anything to go by). Still, that does not take away from his … Read more

Album Review: Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster
Flashback to the late summer of 2008 for a second. It was August 1st, to be more specific, when Lady Gaga acquired my interest with her balls-out crazy performance of her first single “Just Dance” on So You Think You Can Dance. I immediately fell in love with the track and quickly featured it in … Read more
