Glee Goes Gold
Posted in Journey, Songs Download, iTunes on the November 4, 2009
The ‘Glee’ cast recording of Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ has been certified gold after being downloaded over half a million times. And that’s just the legal downloads. With their tracks selling big time on iTunes, it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. Actress Lea Michele talked about it saying “The great thing about our show is that some of the songs that we do sound very close to the original and others are completely re-done and ‘mashed up.’ It’s great that we’ve brought these old songs back and we’ve put a new twist to them, while still honoring the amazing songs that they are. Matthew Morrison added “I feel like we’re revitalizing the music industry. The younger generation hears songs they never heard before through our show. And I’ll be bold as to say that I think some of the records we’re doing are even better than the originals.”

Posted in Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Twitter, iTunes on the October 16, 2009
Chris Brown has slowly been working his way back into the music world. The 20-year old R&B singer’s recent single ‘I Can Transform Ya’ featuring Lil Wayne has been doing well and his 2008 hit ‘Forever’ managed to work its way back to the top spot on the iTunes R&B chart. A new single called ‘So Cold’ was also just leaked onto the internet earlier this week and Chris went on his Twitter to talk about it saying “OMG as you all know a song leaked today from my album called so cold.. im a lil upset but i pray my album doesnt leak..” I hope it does so no one has to buy it and his album will be a sales flop.

American Idol Rip Off
Posted in American Idol, Music Review, Myspace, TV Show, iTunes on the March 14, 2008
The rocker of this season’s American Idol, David Cook, was on fire with his rendition of the Beatles classic ‘Eleanor Rigby’ on Tuesday night but a Seattle band is claiming that he ripped off the arrangement from them. The band Doxology recorded their version of the song over a year ago and put it up on iTunes and the band’s MySpace. Their manager claims that the song is what they’re best known for and have played it at nearly 200 shows. They say that they have no intention of suing but they are trying to get in touch with the show hoping to at least get a bit of props.

Posted in Album Release, Country Music, Dance, Dancing With the Stars, Julianne Hough, Music, Music People, Music Review, Photography, Records Deal, Singers, iTunes on the December 12, 2007
It seems as if Julianne Hough is determined to make sure people know her name. Not only has she twice won Dancing With the Stars….now she’s going to release a country song in early 2008 with Universal Music Group.
Julianne is only 19 and seems to have things going her way. She plans to begin recording next month on the group’s Mercury Records label. She’s already released one country single on iTunes back this past summer.
What is it with people who wanna do it all? I mean, sheesh, leave some room for the rest of us. Nah, really, if you got it, you got it, right? Good luck, Julianne.
iTunes Launches a Special Festival
Posted in Concert, Live Music, Music, Music Bands, Music People, Photography, iTunes on the June 13, 2007
Live music is the latest field of activity that is eyed by iTunes. Their technology will back the free iTunes Festival that will be held in London in July. Apple managed to put together a huge show with over 60 artists already confirmed for the events. Mika will start it off on July 1 and others that will be featured include Travis, Amy Winehouse, Crowded House, Stereophonics, Beverley Knight and Editors.
Fans that want to get their hands on a ticket will need to go to the official iTunes Festival web site and enter different competitions. In this 31 days program organizers will give access to artist interviews, videos, pictures, blogs and different podcasts. As expected there is also something to make money of. Every single concert will be recorded and sold on iTunes. This is the first event of its kind and people are skeptic when talking about results.
