Guns ‘n Roses x Best Buy
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you have come across my post about Target snatching the Aguilera best of exclusively. Well, a new major chain has risen to the occasion to get a big release this year. The title of this post probably spoiled the surprise, I’m talking about GnR’s long [...]

StarRoc (JAY-Z ft. StarGate)
And there you have it. Not too long ago I mentioned JAY-Z is in the Live Nation deal for way more than just him the artist. [StarRoc] confirms my theory that after the mid 90s craze for European pop music like Swedish duo Max Martin and Denniz Pop (Please look these names up if they [...]

The A Files (Mya)

Significantly… What are your alternatives (hence the name, A files) when you’re not selling 250K in the first week anymore? Hell, you probably ain’t selling 100K anymore either.

SoundScan Shock!
Soundscan freaked me out today, man! I agree on the majority of things Nelly’s saying in this video (scroll down to see it), but Billboard made me think today about how hard it is to sell music these days. Walk with me for a sec.

GENIUS!
Apple launched the new iTunes 8.0 today. I LOVE IT! They’ve introduced an amazing new feature – the genius sidebar. It gives you advice on missing tracks that are essential to your collection, which is cool… But the best part is when you’re listening to a song from your library and click on the genius [...]

Target, an American mass-merchandiser has closed an exclusive deal with Jive (oops, I meant) RCA Records to release Christina Aguilera’s forthcoming greatest hits album ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better – A Decade of Hits’.
