Taylor Swift’s “White Horse,” a track from her new album Fearless that was featured on the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy is doing great.
The soulful song will debut at #13 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 singles chart this week, which will give her the 6th Top 20 debut of 2008 breaking the all-time Billlboard record for the number of Top 20 debuts in a calendar year by any artist!
The previous record was five Top 20 debuts this year and that was held by her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas and his brothers.
Taylor’s other five songs that made the Top 20 include “Change”, “Fearless”, “You’re Not Sorry”, “You Belong With Me” and “Love Story”.
Fearless also sold 592,304 units in its first week of sales (her last album sold 3.5 million).
In comparison, The Jonas Brothers sold over 525,000 units of their latest album, A Little Bit Longer (their last album sold 1.5 million).

Britney just won the Best Album of the Year Award during the MTV Europe Awards today in Liverpool, England. She wasn’t present for the awards, but did have a thank you speech ready. Britney also just won the award for Best Act. Check out her speech here:
According to BMGjapan.com, “Amnesia” will be listed as the second bonus track after “Radar,” on Britney’s next album, Circus.
Take a peek at Christina Aguilera’s new “Keeps Gettin’ Better” music video. The song is the first single off her upcoming greatest hits album Keeps Gettin’ Better - A Decade of Hits.
The director for the music video was Peter Berg, the same director of the movie Hancock, which starred Will Smith. I think the point to the video, is that she is traveling through time and fashion to show case her ten year career.
“I really enjoyed making the video for ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better,” being an artist who likes to play around with different looks, it was a lot of fun to portray various characters within the same shoot.”
Radio stations were supposed to start playing Britney Spears’ new single “Womanizer” on Monday, but it didn’t happen. Wendy Washington, a spokeswoman for the record company, said that the single’s release was pushed back:
“Yes, the mix is being finalized and is expected to be done within a week,” Washington said.
The last minute delay came about after a 37-second clip of “Womanizer” was leaked and played on the Web site of a Nashville, Tennessee, radio station last Friday. The leak was plugged almost immediately as her record label Zomba Label Group/Jive Records told the station to take the song off its site.
I”m not surprised since what we all heard of“Womanizer” did not sound like an immediate hit judging from the reactions of commentators on the Web. The site Hollyscoop.com said the fake song “Candy From Strangers,” posted online last week by a Spears impostor, was more catchy than the leaked song from Spears herself!
The single is off Brit’s new album “Circus,” which is scheduled to be released on the her 27th birthday on Dec. 2.
Spears needs a hit badly. Since her very public meltdown last year everyone is waiting to see if she still has it.
Here is a little clip of her latest single Womanizer that ‘leaked’ on the internet. Some radio station in Nashville, Tenn., 107.5 The River, posted the 40-second clip the other day.
This is the second leak from Circus (which is scheduled for release on Britney’s birthday December 2), “Candy From Strangers,” earlier in the week.
The sound quality is not the best… nor is the song in my opinion.
The Jonas brothers were on set filming their “Lovebug” music video today. It’s their second official single off their third studio album, A Little Bit Longer.
Apparently they were spotted going into their trailer for a quick costume change despite the production assistants attempts to keep them covered up under umbrellas and blankets as they ushered them from the set to the trailer.
If you look real close you can see Jonas shoes and their bodyguard Big Rob’s shoes underneath the blankets!
The release date of the “Love Bug” music video is still unknown.
Katy Perry has done it again. She was Number 1 in the US for 7 weeks, and now her hit single is Number 1 on the U.K. singles charts on download sales alone!
The song has received its share of criticism and controversy for its faux-lesbian lyrics - “I kissed a girl and I liked it / I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it.”
Rolling Stone said the former gospel singer: “sounds like the type who makes out with her best friend just to get a dude’s attention.”
Katy shares writing credits with Max Martin who wrote (Britney Spears’ Baby… One More Time), Dr Luke who wrote (Sugababes’ About You Now) and British singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis who wrote (Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head).
Dennis said it was “a bit of a shock” to find out she had scored another number one record, but added she “couldn’t be happier” for Perry.
Here is her newly released video for her first single ‘All The Way Around.’ Basically the clip is showing her do her thing as she records the song at the Maloof Music recording studios at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. It has maintained a spot on the iTunes Top 100 since its debut earlier this month.
She also recently auditioned for the role of Eunice St. Clair in the remake of ’80s horror flick “Troll,” but one of the producers she auditioned is porn director Peter Davy.
Supposedly her agent set up the audition but mama Dina Lohan had no idea about the producer’s identity!
The audition was even captured on tape as part of her E! reality show “Living Lohan,” which is all about Ali and her mother trying to launch her singing and acting career.
Not sure what if any budget she had for this, but … well you decide for yourself!
