The Reality Check Podcast – The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale
Via BayArea.com Tiffany (@TVProducerLady) and GG (@roheblius) are back to discuss the season finale of the X Factor USA. It was a two night affair that was long on hours and not so long on surprises and good television. We discuss why Tate Stevens won and why we predicted him to win even if he wasn’t our favorite. We also talk about the season as whole. Why were we disappointed in this season compared to last? What were some of […]
Popblerd’s New Release Report 11/19/12: Rihanna All Over Again
It’s November, that means there must be a new Rihanna album coming out! Check out the list of new albums coming on the last big release day of 2012!
The Singles Bar: Spring and Summer Soundtrack Songs
Ah, the soundtrack song. It’s been a very, very long time since the theme to a movie really gripped the pop charts by the collar and refused to let go. (Interestingly, the last such occurrence may be Celine Dion’s undying “My Heart Will Go On,” the theme to 1997’s Titanic, which just broke the $2 billion dollar mark thanks to a 3-D re-release this month. But Titanic hasn’t enjoyed another weekend atop the box office charts this year like it did for 15 weeks in 1997 and 1998. […]
2011 MTV Video Music Awards Live Blog
It’s the 2011 version of the VMAs and really, other than who has a hot single, what’s the real difference from year to year? You take a bunch of famous pop stars, give them tons of alcohol, and just let them act the fool on live TV. I think the real question should be: Who is going to do something that makes the Twitter go crazy? Kanye, Lady Gaga, or how about Kanye? My money’s on Kanye. I have my […]
Chart Stalker 6/9/11: Gaga Tumbles, Death Cab Debuts Big
So maybe my headline is a little misleading. After all, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way hangs on for a second week at the top of the Billboard album charts. However, after scoring a million + sales week, the pop star’s latest record suffers a steeper-than-normal 84% drop and scans a relatively pedestrian 174,000 units in week two. While the drop is slightly alarming, it was inevitable without the benefit of a promotion like Amazon’s 99 cent gambit. Regardless of anything, […]
Hear Here!: J. Lo & Pitbull’s “On the Floor”
“American Idol” just might save Jennifer Lopez’s music career. Key word: might. I’m sure Paula Abdul had designs on regaining her pop star status after “Idol” turned into a ratings juggernaut. However, neither of the two singles she released since obtaining her judge-ship performed especially well. However, the musical climate is different now, and Lopez hasn’t been inactive for as long as Abdul was. She’s only a half-decade or so removed from her last hit, and “Idol” is much more […]
2010 American Music Awards: Live Blog
The American Music Awards may have fallen to third place on the importance list behind the Grammy Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards, but it’s still a pretty important show where it counts…at the cash register. It’s pretty well-watched, and lots of people that see performances or award winners end up going to their local store (or to iTunes) and picking up a single or album by someone they caught on the show. The AMAs began in 1974 as […]
Ushering in a New Era of Mediocrity with “Versus”
I stand corrected. When Usher’s “Raymond V. Raymond” came out earlier this year, I predicted that after a solid first week, it was going to flop hard. Well, I guess I have egg on my face. Thanks to the inexplicable success of the will.i.am-assisted hit “OMG”, “Raymond” has already outsold Usher’s (much better qualitatively but not as pop-friendly) previous record “Here I Stand”. In order to keep the momentum going (and maybe to hoodwink Usher’s fans into buying material that […]
Chart Stalker 7/21/10: The Singles Bar
There’s not a heck of a lot to report on the album chart this week-we are officially in the summer doldrums, although the first serious challenger to Eminem’s four weeks and counting run at the top of the chart arrived in the form of Rick Ross. If his “Teflon Don” can squeeze out 130,000 or so copies (not a stretch considering the rapper is inexplicably popular), he has a chance of sliding Slim Shady out of the perch he’s inhabited […]
