New Music

New leaks come from Jordin Sparks, Trina, and Christina Milian. All of these are great tracks, but C Milis' really is surprising, not what I expected from her. Definately gotta give her props for changing her sound as compared to her previous song Us Against The World.

So here are the tracks:

US Billboard Placings

Today was a great day for The Black Eyed Peas and Jason Mraz as they broke 2 longetivity records. Mraz's 'Im Yours' logs in a record 70th week beating out LeAnn Rimes's 69 weeks with 'How Do I Live'. Given that the still has a considerable amount of airplay, expect Jason to extend his lead beyond 70 weeks. The BEP also have lasted long with 'Boom Boom Pow' and 'I Gotta Feeling' being at #1 for 20 consecutive weeks. Usher had the record as 'Yeah' and 'Burn' had 19 weeks. In order for them to extend their lead they must remain close to the digital downloads of 'Party In The USA', since Miley still controls iTunes sales. Since the Peas have 8,000+ more spins in radio, they more than substitute for the small gap in downloads. Here are the top 10 on the Hot 100:

'I Gotta Feeling' BLack Eyed Peas

'Party In The USA' Miley Cyrus

'Run This Town' Jay Z

'You Belong With Me' Taylor Swift

'Use Somebody' Kings Of Leon

'Best I Ever Had' Drake

'Down' Jay Sean

'Knock You Down' Keri Hilson

'Good Girls Go Bad' Cobra Starship

'Hotel Room Service' Pitbull

With no major single releases this week, next week's top 10 should remain unchanged with the exception of Mariah Carey's 'Obsessed' possibly cracking the top 10 with it's increase in airplay. Here is the top 10 albums in the country:

Twang George Straight

Hot August Night/NYC Neil Diamond

The E.N.D. BLack EYed Peas

Hot Mess Cobra Starship

Only By Night Kings of Leon

Now 31 Various Artists

BLACKsummer's Night Maxwell

Leave This Town Daughtry

Fearless Taylor Swift

Justin Moore Justin Moore

With albums hardly even reaching 100,000 sales, this chart is always changing. This explains why albums like Swifts' and the BEPs' are so popular. Next weeks sales are really going to change with at least 4 new entries from Reba, Sean Paul, Third Eye Blind, and MuteMath

New Music: Whitney, Pit, & Trina

Another song from Whitney's new album (shouldn't call it a comeback cuz she's been here awhile lol) I Look To You has surfaced. Although I'm not a big fan, I LOVE this song. IMO 'I Look To You' and 'Million Dollar Bill' were mediocre at best, but this one is so much better. The song, 'Salute', is the best I've heard thus far. Throughout the song, you feel a Rihanna vibe (not dissing the song) and hopefully there will be more songs like this one in her new album:



'Across The World' Ft. rapper B.O.B. is a new track from Pitbull's upcoming album Rebelution which hit stores Sept.1. This album will provide Whitney some competition since her album drops just one day before. Backed up with top 10 singles 'I Know You Want Me' and 'Hotel Room Service', Mr.305 will definately have a chance at hitting #1 on the Billboard 200. About the song, I can definately see this song being played in radios mainly because the beat is so catchy and the singing goes well with it. B.O.B. is also featured in Cobra Starship's 'The World Will Never Do', my favorite track of their new album Hot Mess:





Finally, Trina also releases a new track 'That's My Attitude'. She's still 'The Baddest Bitch' and this track will be the first single dropped from her new album Amazin. Say what you want, but Trina will always be serving up catchy music:

More Mariah News

Mariah's second single off Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel will be the Foreigners 'I Want To Know What Love Is'. The song has been getting rave reviews from critics and will be Mariah's second cover of an 80's song, the first being 'I Still Believe' by Brenda K. Starr. IMO, how well this track does will be how well the album does seeing as how people consider 'Obsessed' a flop (since when is #7 a flop). An unofficial tracklisting was also revealed as a 13 track set.

1. Betcha

2. Obsessed

3. H.A.T.E.U

4. Candy Bling

5. Ribbon

6. Standing O’s

7. Impossible

8. It’s a Wrap

9. Inseparable

10. Up Out My Face

11. More than Just Friends

12. Angels Cry

13. I Want To Know What Love Is

'Up Out My Face' sounds like the kind of track I want to hear lol. There are a few songs that you can tell were inspired by Nick Cannon, one of them being 'Impossible'. Anyways, be on the lookout for Mariah's new single in the near future and be sure to buy her album M.O.A.I.A. out September 29.

The album had the #1 Temperature and #3 Give It Up To Me Ft. Keyshia Cole singles. The new album has 19 tracks with a bonus track and the 'So Fine' video if you purchase it on iTunes (which is why Amazon has it $4 cheaper). Country artist Reba also releases her album today, her last album was released in 2003. Her 13 song set titled 'Keep On Loving You' was preceded by two singles, 'Stranger' & 'Consider Me Gone'. Rock Band Third Eye Blind also released an album yesterday title 'Ursa Major'. The band, who also haven't released material since '03, plan to release yet another album made up of left over tracks from this album.


On the singles side, pop band 'The BackStreet Boys' release their new single 'Straight Through My Heart' for their up and coming 7th studio album 'This Is Us'.

World Charts

In UK charts, Michael Jackson's 'The Essential Michael Jackson' remains at #1 in their albums chart for 7 weeks now. Following Jackson is Beyonce with 'I Am... Sasha Fierce' in at #2, Black Eyed Peas's 'The E.N.D.' at #3, Paolo Nutini's 'Sunny Side Up' at #4, & Stone Roses' 'Stone Roses' at #5. On the singles side, The BEP's "I Gotta Feeling" takes #1 after being pushed down to #2 last week. According to Billboard, this is the first time 2 different song of the same artist/band have reclaimed the top spot (BOom BoOm Pow fell in may and reclaimed #1 in June). Seems like all Jackson and The BEP are doing is breaking records!

Globally, Jackson falls from the top as Japanese band Kobukuro takes the spot with "Calling". Here is a recap of the top 10 albums worldwide:

Kobukuro - Calling - 231,000
Michael Jackson - Thriller (25th Anniversary Reissue) - 192,000
Michael Jackson - Number Ones Epic - 160,000
Michael Jackson - The Essential Epic - 150,000
Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D.Interscope - 122,000
Michael Jackson - Bad 16Epic - 121,000
Michael Jackson - Dangerous 15Epic - 108,000
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall 9Epic - 101,000
Michael Jackson - King Of PopEpic - 97,000
Lady GaGa - The Fame - 80,000

As for singles, none other than the BEP top the charts.Here is the recap:

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas - 408,000 - 5 weeks at No.1
I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) - Pitbull - 215,000
When Love Takes Over - David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland - 191,000
Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas - 169,000
Knock You Down - Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo - 157,000
Fire Burning - Sean Kingston - 142,000
21 Guns - Green Day- 140,000

Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon - 137,000
You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift- 135,000
Ichibu To Zenbu - B'z - 134,000

No doubt that the BEP are really taking over. The video for their official third single 'Meet Me Halfway' is set to be released sometime in November (possibly sooner seeing as how filming is over). Keep an eye Thursday to see if they set a record on the Hot 100 along with Jason Mraz.

Mary J. Blige added to list of hosts

Along with Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham) and Katy Perry, MJB will also be a guest host on American Idol. As Paula Abdul's resignation may upset many people, AI is doing the right thing and have celebrities have guest spots in each show. IMO, only artists can give feedback to aspiring singers, plus there is an added pressure to perform your best. Even though I don't watch AI, I will definately be tuning in. Meanwhile, be on the lookout for Mary's new album "Stronger" which will be released later this year. Check out her first single 'The One', which is featured on the AT&T commercials, and make sure to support her on iTunes or Amazon.

Placing on Billboard!

When a song is being decided where to place here is what they look for:

52%, digital sales

45%, airplay

3%, streaming

0.06%, physical singles

With the digital era at its new peak, physical singles no longer have much effect on their tallies. This week Mariah's 'Obsessed' is #1 in physical sales, yet she remains on her last week's position on The Hot 100 at #14. Here is a review of the Top 10:

1. I Gotta Feeling by BEP (now at 19th consecutive week with Boom Boom Pow. They now tie the record for most week at #1 in a row with Usher whose 'Yeah' & 'Burn' topped the charts for 19 weeks aswell.

2. You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift

3. Best I Ever Had by Drake

4. Knock You Down by Keri Hilson

5. Use Somebody by Kings of Leon

6. Down by Jay Sean

7. Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship

8. Fire Burning by Sean Kingston

9. Hotel Room Service by Pitbull

10. Boom Boom Pow by BEP

Next week Jay Z's 'We Run This Town' and Miley's 'Party in the USA' Will most likely debut in the top ten with the help of strong digital download. IMO Shakira's 'She Wolf' might also crack the top 10.

Nelly Furtado Lyrics

Many have been asking to post the lyrics for mi plan
Here are the lyrics to all 3 singles released so far:

MANOS AL AIRE (with the MTV subtitiles)

(You) Tú

(when you lose your self control) que pierdes el control

(and you’re yelling in that tone) hablando en alta voz

(you break my heart in two) hieres mi corazón

(and I) Yo

(try to hear you out) tratando de escuchar

(but it’s hard to figure out) no me puedo explicar

(how to tell you how I feel) que extraña sensación

(You don’t want to understand me) Tú no me quieres entender

(you just want to shut me up) y me mandas a callar diciéndome

(and tell me I shouldn’t be so surprised) no me debo sorprender

(and that I should realize) porque así es la realidad

(that this is our love and I) de nuestro amor y yo

(surrender) no tengo armas

(I have no weapons) para enfrentarte

(I put my hands up) pongo mis manos

(in the air) manos al aire

(I only) Sólo

(want to love you) me importa amarte

(with all that I have) en cuerpo y alma

(like yesterday) como era ayer You Tú

(when you lose your upper hand) que perdiste el control

(you get so insecure) te dejaste llevar

(and you hate the way it feels) por la inseguridad

(I have seen you grow so much) Yo que te he visto crecer

(but it’s never enough) me puedo imaginar

(I tell myself you’ll change) que todo cambiará

(Today we repeat the same game) Hoy aunque todo siga igual

(you tell me “shut-up” again making clear) y me mandes a callar diciéndome

(that if you had it your way) que tienes que dominar

(I’d have no say) o será el final

(and I can’t live this way) y yo no puedo así

(I surrender) no tengo armas

(I have no weapons) para enfrentarte

(I put my hands up) pongo mis manos

(in the air) manos al aire

(I only) Sólo

(want to love you) me importa amarte

(with all that I have) en cuerpo y alma

(like yesterday) como era ayer

(I surrender) no tengo armas

(I have no weapons) para enfrentarte

(I put my hands up) pongo mis manos

(in the air) manos al aire

(I only) Sólo

(want to love you) me importa amarte

(with all that I have) en cuerpo y alma

(like yesterday) como era ayer

(like yesterday) como era ayer

Nelly Furtado - "Mi Plan" (Featuring Alex Cuba) Lyrics
Eres mi mas grande deseo

Ese que no puedo esconder

De mi ilusion y mis anhelos

Quizas es mi forma de ser

Y me pregunto si podre dejarte ir

Porque te quiero retenerHaces mi vida sonreir

Porque yo se que tu eres para mi

Solo se qe tu amor le ha devuelto a mi ser

La esperanza, la voz, el color y la fe

Que sorpresa m dio el destino

He varado el dolor

Cuando me senti perdida

Eres mi sol en la oscuridad

Ahora quiero volar

Porque tu vuelas conmigo

Ser feliz
Es todo mi plan (x2)

Tus ojos cambian como el cielo

Mi boca se antoja tu piel

Cuando jugamos con el fuego

De noche hasta el amanecer

Y se muy bien que no podre dejarte ir

Porque de ti me enamore uhh uhh uhhhh

Solo se qe tu amor le ha devuelto a mi ser la esperanza, la voz, el color y la fe

Que sorpresa nos dio el destino

He varado el dolor

Cuando me senti perdida

Eres mi sol en la oscuridad

Ahora quiero volar

Porque tu vuelas conmigo

Ser feliz

Es todo mi plan
Todo mi plan (x3)

Para los dooos aaah aaah

Tu y yoo (x2)

Solo se qe tu amor le ha devuelto a mi ser

La esperanza, la voz, el color y la fe

Que sorpresa nos dio el destino
He varado el dolor

Cuando me senti perdida

Eres mi sol ll En la oscuridad (En la oscuridad)

Ahora quiero volar

Porque tu vuelas conmigo (Porque tu vuelas conmigo)

Ser feliz ll Es todo mi plan (Todooo mi plan.. oooohh oohhh oooh ohhh)

Todo mi plan

Es todo mi plan, Es todo mi plan, yeaah

Es todo mi plan (x3)
