Christina Aguilera for the Grammys


Christina Aguilera is the latest performer added to “The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! – Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night”. The new one hour special is the first time that the nominations will be announced for the annual GRAMMY Awards on primetime television. The live performances are said to be a ploy to get some interest back on the ceremony. More interest means higher ratings. In other Christina news, her greatest hits album ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better – A Decade of Hits’ debuted at #9 on the Billboard Album Charts. It’s her first greatest hits album and is sold exclusively at Target and Target.com.

Taylor Swift Tops the Charts


Taylor Swift has taken the album chart by storm but the country singing sweetheart is also ripping it up on the singles charts. With her song ‘White Horse’, Taylor Swift was able to score her 6th top 20 debut. That count is just for this year! According to reports, that’s a calendar year record for any artist in the 50-year history of the chart. Taylor Swift broke the record of the Jonas Brothers with 5. Taylor is also tied for second place with Mariah Carey and the Beatles for the most top 20 debuts in a career. One more new entry in the singles chart will put her in a 3-way tie for first place with Janet Jackson and Madonna.
