- Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger follows the sound of the group's last single "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" with her next solo album. Since it's the dance producer Dave Aude that has written songs for her. After working as the group's music director and remixing their singles for years, Nicole's solo material could just be the natural thing to do. Nicole Scherzinger is also working with RedOne with her album.- The follow-up to Black Eyed Peas's double-platinum album "The E.N.D" is on the way. As reported before their next album, "The beginning" is almost finnished and it will be released later this year. "The Beginning" is said to be "fresh" and "more mature". The news about the album are great way to deny the breakup rumours around the group.
- Christina Aguilera's label isn't dissapointed about the underperformed single "You lost Me" apparently. Why would they, since this weekend the song is being added to UK radio stations and it's being released as a third single after "I Hate Boys" in Australia (that has been just only-australia radio single).

Girls Aloud/Continue without Nadine?
Posted on at 10:21 PM.
According to new reports, Girls Aloud are reuniting without Nadine Coyle. The group is reportedly grown apart with Nadine and is ready to reunite in 2011 without her with new material. Before that, Nadine is expected to release her first solo album and Cheryl Cole her second."It's been a painful decision for Sarah, Nicola, Kimberley and Cheryl but they have decided that the future of Girls Aloud lies without Nadine," a source told the publication. "They've all been on a roller-coaster ride since 2002 and have just grown apart from Nadine. Relations with her had been strained within the camp for a while. Disputes began cropping up towards the final days of the band before they went on a hiatus."
Their label have hinted that there is no truth behind these news. The reports over the troubles within the group have been going on throughout this year.

Christina Aguilera/"You lost Me" shows no impact!
Posted on at 8:26 PM.
Christina Aguilera isn't exactly doing much to "Bionic" with "You lost Me". The second single isn't yet in itunes Top 200 and the song is getting minimal radio play. There hasn't been much promotion to it despite the video but nothing seems to be working with this current material. Christina is reportedly re-releasing the album later on, but it's not official yet. Hopefully the label will start promotion in Europe, since Christina has always been well recieved in Europe in comparison to US charts.Discuss.

Backstreet Boys/If I knew Then (Live)

Backstreet Boys are still releasing "If I knew Then"? Since they just gave a performance of the song on Lopez Tonight. The Boys are currently recording their upcoming album but stopped by to promote their album in US. They did great job with the performance, being once again vocally fantastic. This song isn't a hit material though, it sounds bit dated to be their next hit but hopefully they will catch new wind of success with their next album.

Paris Hilton/New music coming up!
Posted on at 8:02 PM.
Paris Hilton is getting ready to start the second album era, after she released her debut back in 2006. She is currently filming a music video for her first single, yet untitled that will be released in August. The rest of the album will be out in few months. A new leak from her, song called "I Need You" is a demo from early album sessions, before the direction of the album changed.
Paris Hilton has suggested that Kylie Minogue is the main influence on her upcoming second album. Hilton said: "My record is just in production now. I recently finished recording it. It's very like dance, club music. I really have always loved Kylie Minogue - she's like, one of my favourite artists. I've just been really inspired by her. I just wanted my music to kind of... emulate her. I just kind of love her sound and I love the way she is, so I was inspired by her, and the album's going to be out in a few months."

Blue/New Demo snippets leak!
Posted on 27.7.10 at 7:40 PM.
Here is new snippet called "Don't worry About it" from boyband Blue that are reforming. Sources tell us that these clips were probably intented to be leaking for the fans. These two leaked tracks are early demo versions of the tracks they've recorded and the album is still in very early stages and they have been recording many tracks already. Personally, I like "Between You and I" more from these two but I know they aren't either designed to be the first single material, just a preview of their work so far. Can't wait for their next album though, one of my favourite groups of all time!
Listen to "Between You and I"!

Britney Spears/No new album this year?
Posted on at 5:22 PM.
Gimmebritney.com that claim to be the official Australian source of information about Britney and let's admit, they've been right before. They reported that Britney's album is not scheduled for the late 2010 apparently."Today we can let you all know that there will be no new Britney album this year. We’re of course keeping our ear to the ground for any news on a single that could possibly be released around November. Sony Music announced their upcoming plans for the last half of the year, and Britney does not feature on the release schedule (last year The Singles Collection appeared on the schedule that we were first to report on)." Things can change though and this is only one source claiming so but how dissapointing if this has any truth in it.
Also, a demo for supposed new song called "Outta my Head" for Britney was shown on the official page of the producer Fernando Garibay as the new official produced song for 2010 but it was shortly deleted from the page. Interesting!

Natasha Bedingfield/Touch (Video)
Posted on at 5:16 PM.
New beautiful video for "Touch" by Natasha Bedingfield. Tash tells a similar story in the video to what she sings in the song but the editing process is smarter than you expect. By the second verse, you lose the idea of the story but the whole picture comes clear in the end. Natasha looks pretty in the video and the song is absolutely amazing. If this one doesn't find it's place in the charts, we wonder what went wrong in the end because this deserves attention.

Robyn/Hang with Me (Video)

Robyn and her newly released "Hang with Me" video. The video follows her through UK's promo tour and you see the real Robyn behind the scenes. The video starts up a little boring but shortly it grows on you. It has beautiful shots and it's well edited to be fast-paced throughout until the end. "Hang with Me" is fantastic single but not as good as it's predecessor, "Dancing on my Own". The single will be released on September 5th.

Medina/Lonely (Video)
Posted on 26.7.10 at 2:54 AM.
Medina and her new video for "Lonely". The song has played in my head like madness for few days now. It's pretty much just as instant as "You and I", it's like part 2 of the song. Her new album "Welcome to Medina" has just been released in Europe and this is the second official single from the album. The song is emotional, beautiful and the video shows up the edgy new style she carries for the promotion. She has new haircut and cool neon lights to light up the video. It's pretty video for amazing song. Hopefully it will be a hit and the similarities between this and the previous single won't hurt it's potential.

Britney Spears/New music soon?
Posted on 25.7.10 at 11:05 PM.
Inside sources tell us that the first media reporters are given the opportunity to hear some new Britney Spears very soon. Also, sources tell us MTV will be the first one to hear new music and that there is some pre-promo planned with them about the upcoming album. Would this have anything to do with VMA's that are being prepared as we speak. This leads us to every year question, will Britney perform? Sources say the label is currently choosing the first single to promote the album that is almost ready, but it could be that we have to wait a bit to hear the first single. Hopefully she'll take a chance to promote herself at VMA's.Discuss.

Girlgroup Countdown/Part 8
Posted on at 5:48 PM.
Today we continue the girlgroup countdown with couple of duo's. First one, Australian pride, The Veronicas have had their hits already and sold millions of albums worldwide. They've only released two official studio albums but also number of singles, EP's and compilations worldwide. The girls are currently recording their third album that is said to introduce new sound for them. The duo's best songs are "4 Ever", "This Love", "Untouched","Take Me On The Floor"and the amazing "Hook Me Up". Their music is like electro-pop mixed with Rock. It's like Ke$ha mixed up with Avril Lavigne but with two girls.
Another duo that I'm completely obsessed about is t.A.T.u. They became big almost ten years ago with "All the things she said", creating provocative and controvercial lesbian-image around the duo. The russian duo knew exactly what ropes to pull and became a worldwide hit selling over 15 million records. They went from controvercy to another, they broke US markets, they managed to go to Top 3 in Eurovisiong song contest and they proved they were not only a one-hit wonders. They are currently and hiatus and there has been some drama between the two girls but they have never disbanded officially, they are just on "hiatus". They have released three english and three russian albums and over 20 singles. Their best songs are "Not gonna Get us", "30 minutes", "How soon is Now?", "Prostye Dvizhenia", "Ne Ver', Ne Boisya, Ne Prosi", "Show Me Love", "All about us", "Dangerous and Moving", "White Robe", "Perfect Enemy", "Sacrifice", "Stars", "Friend or Foe" and "Fly on the Wall". They have that little mystery inside of them that makes them interesting and they are so overlooked usually by the general public because of their previous image. They recorded amazing music.

Posted on at 5:17 PM.
- Seems like Taio Cruz's "Dirty Picture" is given another pushback, but this time in Australia and again in favour of "Dynamite". After "Dirty Picture" was sent to radios few weeks ago, it never peaked inside Top 30, before "Dynamite" was released in itunes. All suddenly the current US single charted in itunes on Top 3 that led Universal to official release it up next to Australian radio stations. Looks like "Dynamite" will be a next worldwide hit for him.- Exclusive information tell us that the comercial disaster that Christina Aguilera's "Bionic" was, the label is busy rewamping the album with more radio-friendly hit material for the re-release. Forget Sia and other "orginal" writers, because now she is working a hit material with producers like Darkchild. In meanwhile, in Australia "Bionic" has sold gold and "I hate Boys" is one of the most added hits in radio.
- Beyonce is still not over the new era. At least not in UK. First she released her single "Why don't You love Me?" on UK channels and radio stations and the official date has now been given for the 30th of August. Sources tell us it will be her final planned UK single from the album and overall 9th single from the album.
- Kelly Rowland will be following her first European single "Commander" with her current US Pop-single "Rose Coloured Glasses". It has been officially released in some radio stations already and release dates will be announced soon, after "Commander" has made it's impact everywhere. "Commander" will be released in Germany on August 9th physically. Also, Kelly is asking for help from the fans to make up a title for her upcoming album that will not be self-titled apparently. It's also pushed back to October 26th.

Lady Gaga/DITD won't have a video, just radio-single?
Posted on at 1:51 AM.
Lady Gaga's 9th Australian single will be "Dance in the Dark" as reported before, but hopefully the worldwide release rumours are untrue. The reason I hope that is that there won't be any music video shot for the song. Polydor has confirmed that there won't be video shot for the single so it will be just promotional single with no further spread. According to rumours though, this will be radio-single in countries like US but something tells me it wouldn't be a hit without proper release with a video. No matter how amazing song it is.Discuss.

Here is a preview of Katy Perry's next video "Teenage Dream" in slideshow-kind of a way. There is no premiere date set for the freshly shot video but it looks great already. Katy seems to be over the wig-thing she had with the first single and is now natural and beautiful. The song itself is in Top 10 on US itunes already and the buzz around the song is overwhealming. But the song sounds like #1 hit already. Good job Katy!

The Saturdays performing in new Viva show called "Suck my POP" that contains live performances, mixed up with some music-videoish scenes. They performed their brand new single "Missing You" and looked absolutely beautiful. Too bad Frankie isn't exactly the most talented girl in the group because the first half a minute sounds weak, while the rest of the performance sounds better. Such a shame Una isn't showcasing her vocals too much in this song, because she is amazing. Hopefully this single will be a hit, I'm crossing my fingers and toes for it to be. They deserve another chance.

Medina/Lonely (New single)
Posted on at 10:18 PM.
Medina is now releasing just as appealing follow-up to "You and I" in Europe after recieving moderate success to it in countries like Germany. The song is beautiful and actually includes a line that works as a path from the first single to this: "There is no longer you and I..." Amazing! It continues soundwise the similar path being melancholic and electric. Which suits us really well. The english album is being released in Germany first and probably after that elsewhere.

Dima Bilan ft. Anastacia/Safety (Video)
Posted on at 9:19 PM.
Dima Bilan and Anastacia with their new video for "Safety". No wonder it took this long to release the video, since there is quite much going on in it and it's probably one of the most visual videos I've seen lately. It has colours, sexy edge and multiple scenes with plot and performance scenes going on. "Safety" as a song isn't the sharpest ballad either of the duo have done and the sound of it sounds a bit dated too but it still has something pleasant in it. The whole video looks like it could've been done at any point from 2001 to this day. Anastacia has her signature glasses on and the whole set looks cool. Overall a fantastic video for somewhat good song. Not bad.

Kristinia DeBarge/Died in your eyes (The Saturdays orginal)
Posted on at 6:22 PM.
The reason we post this Kristinia DeBarge track "Died in your eyes" is that The Saturdays were given the song to record for "Headlines". Now that I listen to it, it does sound very The Saturdays-ish, don't you think? Kristinia DeBarge failed to be a big hit worldwide but she is recording new material currently, but will this be a hit for The Sats then? It sounds something from "Chasing Lights" stylewise. I can Vanessa singing the final lines of the song already!

Part 2 of the three part album set will be out soon and the details, including a title of the first single from the third album. "Body Talk Pt 2 offers the clearest example yet of Robyn’s pop prowess; 8 songs that crystallize her preoccupation with hypnotic repetition, propulsive beats and infectious hooks, and lyrics which display the kind of unabashed emotional vulnerability that only comes with true self-confidence. Body Talk 2 is further proof that Robyn’s understanding and love of pop music is as intrinsic as it is accomplished. "

Christina Aguilera and her stunning new video for "You lost Me". The video was obviously done to be raw, beautiful but very simple and somehow it works. It does get a bit too raw at times, making it somewhat pointless but the whole set just completes the song. The song is also a ballad that starts up a little slow and in the end you "get it", the whole thing comes together. Hopefully the simplicity works and this video/single becames a hit since it was obviously shot as a complete opposite to "Not myself Tonight". I think that was what fans wanted to see instead.

RIAA have now confirmed that Britney Spears has officially sold over 100 million records. Britney’s phenomenal sales first began in the late nineties, when her debut album “…Baby One More Time“ went Diamond and sold around 28 million copies worldwide. Her next effort “Oops… I Did It Again” was also certified Diamond and sold 20 million copies in total, putting Britney close to 50 million albums sold off her first two releases alone.Billboard ranked Britney as the biggest selling female artist of the past decade, the best selling teenager in history, one of the highest selling female artists of all time. All six of her studio albums have topped the Billboard charts, except for 2007′s 3 million selling Blackout which peaked at #2 after chart rules changed just before the release.
Her previous album "Circus" has reportedly sold up to five million copies worldwide. Her follow-up to that is in recording process and expected to be released at the end of the year.

Girlgroup Countdown/Part 7
Posted on at 6:14 PM.
Here we continue the girlgroup countdown with another huge name, TLC. The girlgroup is known from it's urban hits and the sad death of young Lisa "Left eye" Lopez. The video posted is "Unpretty", #1 single's video released in 1999 and the last video released in US to feature late Lisa Lopez. After this video, she eventually featured in EU-video "Dear Lie". TLC made a comeback just after her death in 2002 with "3D" that wasn't a huge success despite having some vocals from Lisa in some of the songs. TLC's best tracks for me are "No Scrubs", "Dear Lies", "Damaged", "Silly Ho", "Girl Talk","Hands Up","Turntable" and the timeless "Unpretty". They are just one of the brightest girlgroups there has been. Listening to them as we speak.
Another girlgroup for today is No Angels, german girlgroup still making music. They went through some lineup changes as most girlgroups do and ended up being a four-girl-group with the latest news suggesting that the lineup would've been again changed, leaving the group as a trio. The german popstars group started out with a bang in 2001 with their first single "Daylight in Your eyes" charting well worldwide, including peaks in UK, US and number of European countries. The girls followed their success with two albums and one live CD before the first lineup change. They released one more hit album and Greatest Hits before disbanding in 2003. Four of the members made a comeback with a new album in 2007 but they struggeled to succeed with their latest albums, despite having Eurovision hit song "Disappear" that they performed on the finals of Eurovision song contest 2008.
They didn't peak high of all the countries but the hit got followed by their last album "Welcome to the Dance" that was released last year. The album wasn't well recieved, despite their promotion and tour. Their best tracks are a cover of "There must be an Angel","Too Old", "Disappear", "Maybe", "Teardrops", "Down Boy", "Something About Us", "Against the Wall", "Dance-aholic" and "One Life".

Too bad that her usually amazing vocals are kinda drowned to the song that isn't exactly made for live performance. Anyway, great promotion. It's rare to see promotion this early on but hopefully she'll continue promoting until the single is out later on. We all remember what happened to The Saturdays "Work" that was promoted in TV far too early but had no performances scheduled later on. Hopefully this won't be the case with this potential hit.

Kelly Rowland/Album pushed back!
Posted on at 12:58 AM.
It appears that Kelly Rowland needs a bit more time to complete her self-titled Universal/Motown debut. According to the "Commander" singer, "Kelly Rowland," will be coming out later this year. Originally slated for release September 21, Rowland's new album is now up for a mid-fall release, something she confirmed with the Big Tigger Morning Show (WPGC) this week. "I'm just making sure everything is going to be absolutely perfect... I'm still recording," Rowland told Big Tigger.Rumours are that despite the success of "Commander" in UK and Europe, lack of interest for Kelly's US singles have made her label to demand recording of more potential hits for the album. "Commander" has been a club hit in US, but there is yet no radio release planned for the song.

Inna/10 Minutes (Video)
Posted on at 12:36 AM.
Inna and her new video for "10 Minutes", her latest to be lifted from "Hot". This was already released to radios in some european countries but she shot a video for the song in UK recently, directed by Paul Boyd. She looks fantastic in the video and actually dances a bit in it too. "10 Minutes" is luckily a skip from her usual sound, that she has been recycling for awhile now. Her latest UK single "Amazing" will be out on 15th of August officially. "Sun is Up" will be her next single after "10 minutes" as it was earlier confirmed. Great video for cool dance track. Something tells me this will be released in UK after "Amazing" has finnished it's chart run.

Taio Cruz/Dynamite (Video)
Posted on 18.7.10 at 10:15 PM.
Taio Cruz and his new video for "Dynamite". This is the reported first version of the video with a part 2 coming up featuring Miss Jennifer Lopez. This one is the solo version with slightly remixed intro. The video is fun, very visual, showing off beautiful ladies in little clothes which is always a pleasure. But other than that, there isn't much going. The best part is the ending with the fireworks and the female extra's in the video. "Dynamite" instead is amazing song that could be even bigger hit than the previous one "Break your Heart". Can't wait to see the remix version with J.Lo. Not that it was neccessary to bring someone to feature in the song, but it's a nice new thing to listen to when you need a little change.

Monrose/Official second single!
Posted on at 12:39 AM.
Monrose have finally reached success after their previous album wasn't a huge seller. Their latest album "Ladylike" scored their 4th Top 10 album and their single "Like a Lady" became 7th Top 10 single from the group. So far, so good but it's turn to second single soon. The group has announced now that expectedly, "This is Me" will be their official second single from "Ladylike". The single will be released quite soon, on August 27th. They made a right choice by releasing a second most potential track from the album. It sounds like them and could be another hit for the group.Discuss.

Kaci Battaglia/Body Shots (New single)
Posted on 15.7.10 at 11:33 PM.
Kaci Battaglia is about to unleash finally the follow-up to her first single "Crazy Possessive" that still sounds as fresh as it ever did. This new single is called "Body Shots" and it's a sexy club featuring Ludacris. In the cover art, she is also wearing a dress that looks familiar to us. Wasn't that worn by Britney on her promo shots of "Circus"? Anyway, she is talented and sexy and "Body Shots" sounds fantastic. But we do have doubts about this. If "Crazy Possessive" didn't do anything in the charts, we doubt this will either.

VipMedia News Flash/
Posted on at 9:05 PM.
- Kylie has scored her second best entry at US charts with her latest album. Peaking just inside Top 20 (#19) with "Aphrodite", she sold three times more than her previous album "X" did in US. Back then she charted at #139 with minimal sales. It's also shocking that Kylie peaked this high with no US Hit singles from this album. "All the Lovers" hasn't been a hit in US and her highest peaking album "Fever" had Top 10 hit "Can't get you out of my Head" to sell it. "Aphrodite" is fifth of her 11 albums to chart in US.- German girlgroup Queensberry is in the middle of lineup drama. While two of the girls are out of the group, another one of them is accusing the group of kicking her out. They aren't stopping now though, since the group will be releasing their next single soon with a new lineup. See the new members in the new photoshoot from here!
- Robyn has confirmed that she'll be releasing "Body Talk part 2" in September 6th with a new single out the day before. First single from the second part of the album will be "Hang with Me", a track that featured as a acoustic version in the first part of the album but will now be out as more dancey version. Sources also suggest that she has interesting stuff coming up with the third album.
- David Archuleta will release his single "Something about Love" on July 20th, the same day you can pre-order his upcoming album. The second album, titled "Other side of Down" will be released on September 14th. More details will be released on the following days!

Darin/Lovekiller (Live)
Posted on at 7:30 PM.
Swedish popstar Darin performing his new single "Lovekiller" live in Swedish TV show called Allsång På Skansen 2010. He did great job vocally and he seems to have this new style with this new project. He always delivers great vocals but "Lovekiller" hasn't yet clicked totally with me and his new musical direction is leaving me cold this time. It just sounds like his previous singles from the album unfortunately but I do "get" the song. Maybe it's a grower.

Girlgroup Countdown/Part 6
Posted on at 12:11 AM.
To continue with girlgroup countdown, here is UK's one of the most successful girlgroups of all time, Atomic Kitten. They've had few lineup changes but in their very early days but they have recorded amazing music. It's hard to say what's the best one but "Last Goodbye", "Be with you", "Eternal Flame", "If you Come to Me", "You Are", "The tide is High", "Anyone who had a heart", "It's OK" and "Someone Like Me" come close. They've gained fans outside UK too, selling 10 million singles and albums worldwide. They've released two #1 albums and two #5 ones, including Greatest Hits collection as well as 13 Top 10-hits (three number ones). They never officially disbanded, so after they went on a break in 2004, they've appeared quite a few times with special stuff. Their last official single, "Anyone who had a Heart"was out in 2008 but it wasn't a success. Despite there has been hints almost every year that they'd make a proper comeback with new material.
And from UK to US with Girlicious that were found from reality show called "Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious". The current trio had fourth member during the first album but she was kicked out dramatically with media buzz around them. Their singles "Stupid Sh*t" and "Like Me" were hits in Canada, with latter charting to #4 in singles charts but neither charted on US. Their third single "Baby Doll" was supposed to be out in US too, but only video got itunes release and the song underperformed in Canada. Both of their singles as a trio, "Over You" that was only digitally released and "Maniac" that is probably their most potential single, flopped in the charts. "Maniac" is ironically their lowest charting single. It's so sad that this group has never recieved the hype they deserve, especially now. This could be explained with the zero promo that they've been given with just few TV performances and only in Canada. The album is out on next month in Canada, so hopefully they'll get even some success this time around. One of the most potential girlgroups that are overlooked.

Miley Cyrus/Official second single confirmed!

Miley Cyrus will release "Two More Lonely People" as the second official single from "Can't Be Tamed". Following the title track, this new single is yet to be added to radio stations but it doesn't stop them playing the song already. Miley has made it already to #119 in CHR Pop 40 Radio charts without adds date. The song is fantastic, combining the current sound of the album to more traditional Miley. The rumours about "Liberty Walk" being the second single weren't true but hopefully it will be unleashed after this. There is no news yet about the video.

Girls Can't Catch/Album tracks leak!
Posted on at 10:59 PM.
Looks like the unreleased album by Girls Can't Catch will be leaked. Four songs from the album, "Mind it", "You're the Kinda Man", "Live my way" and "Discover Me" have been leaked so far. The group broke up officially yesterday with statement written to their official site but these new songs made me kind of sad for them. Looks like their album was going to be full of great tracks after all. They might not be Girls Aloud or filled with personality, but their music sounds like it's full of potential!

Girlgroup Countdown/part 5
Posted on at 12:59 AM.
We'll continue the girlgroup countdown with Dream, Diddy's first girlgroup that released their debut single "He Loves U Not" in 2000. The song became a hit in US and the girls soon released their album and next single in the following year. "This is Me" was served as a second single and the remix of it afterwards as the final single from "It was all a Dream". There was two more singles planned but after terror attacks and one member leaving the group, they moved on. In 2003, Dream came back with raunchy new image and "Crazy", their first single. It wasn't a success in charts and it lead Diddy to drop them off the label and the group disbanding. Years later in 2008 "Reality", their unreleased second album leaked and the label released two more unreleased albums to itunes for the fans. These songs were rumoured to be recorded for their second album, before "Reality" was ultimately recorded instead. They remain one of the shortest lived girlgroups with mysteries all over their history. There has even been rumours of some of the members getting back together after there was no formal "Disbanding" announced.
After the breakup news, we'll add Girls Can't Catch to the countdown. These girls supported Girls Aloud on their last tour and released two amazing singles, "Keep your head Up" and "Echo" but didn't recieve much success or hype around them. Their unreleased album has partly leaked from the promotional discs that were released after "Echo". The album included such amazing tracks as "Turn me Up" and "Happy Alone" that will be left unreleased now. Another girlgroup everyone forgets soon but that actually recorded handful of fantastic music. Best of luck to the girls in future!

Girls Can't Catch/Announce split-up!
Posted on at 5:19 PM.
Girls Can't Catch have officially disbanded. Their record label, Fascination told earlier that the group isn't "unfortunately no longer signed to us". This is following their poor sales of two singles released, "Keep you Head Up" that peaked at #26 and "Echo" that peaked at #19 earlier this year. The group were scheduled to release their debut album later on and promo disc's of the upcoming material already leaked online."Sadly its over for GCC. We have an incredible year! Thank you so much for your support. It was a pleasure to share this experience with Jess and Phoebe. I will pursuing other projects. I don't believe in giving up. Thank you once again for everything," Agnew wrote on Twitter. "And yes I will be going solo, I've got this far I'm not going to stop now."
After just two singles released, they've toured with The Jonas Brothers and their label mates Girls Aloud on their tours. They finnish up the official statement with words to their fans.
“We’re so thankful for the dedication and generosity from all of the supporters, it's an experience we will never forget and we've loved meeting so many of the GCC family. You honestly don’t expect such warmth and dedication from fans, so when it comes along it actually takes you by surprise. From each of us, to every single GCC fan, we want to say a huge thankyou. Don’t worry, you’ll be hearing from each of us very soon!”

Girlgroup countdown/Part 4
Posted on at 2:20 AM.
Now, to continue our posts of the Girlgroup countdown, we bring you Queensberry, who have had recently some lineup changes that aren't too rare with girlgroups. Since the group formed in 2009 and released their debut single "No Smoke", they've released just four singles from two albums. Their future looks still bit unclear but they've recorded amazing songs. "Too Young" and "Hello (Turn your radio On)" have been hits for good reasons, they do have potential but it looks like German groups have hard time finding the right audience to buy their music in their own country.
Another group for today is actually a duo called Booty Luv. They have released one album that has sold silver in UK and spawned five singles with four of them as Top 20 hits in UK, including amazing tracks like "Some kind of Rush" and "Don't mess with my Man". They are the same two girls from disbanded Big Brovaz and since releasing their latest Top 20-single "Say It", they are seeking a third member to the group. "Say It" wasn't comercial success and they left their label and are currently looking for new one to release their next album with. They've had great start and they are two gorgeous, talented ladies so hopefully they'll get their chance to continue their career!

VipMedia Recommends/Eric Saade
Posted on at 1:26 AM.
Eric Saade is a young talent from Sweden that has just reached to his breakthrough after Melodifestivalen, national Eurovision song contest with his song finnish up as third. His new single is called "The break of Dawn" and it's great quality ballad/midtempo and and this song we posted is called "It's Gonna Rain" and it's just one uptempo treat from his album "Masquerade" that went to #2 in Swedish album charts. He has everything there needs to be in a male-artist and great songs too but hopefully he'll try the tough part, to breakthrough in Europe too. He isn't eyeing for the fame outside Sweden yet, but there could be time and space for him to do so. Great artist to add to your collections!

Lee Ryan/Flop-single results him to Blue-comeback!
Posted on at 12:38 AM.
Lee Ryan haven't had the best luck recently. After being labeled as a "Bad Boy" for years, resulting some twisted words and bad press around him recently, he's latest single has been a flop in UK charts. The double single "I Am Who I Am/Secret Love" charted at dissapointing #33 in UK singles charts. He also said the label released 2000 hard copies of the single to shops around the country for the fans but the sales weren't exactly what they were with his ex-group Blue. He commented the subject in twitter with dissapointing words. "Really upset, #33 ain't terrible but I thought it would of done better! The album is so good its a shame it won't be out now! They (the label) just won't release it now. I'm just gonna put it on the internet and the let the fans get it for free! F**k em!"He also confirmed that Blue are in fact already started recording and they will be back, we guess the time "they've been waiting" is now that Lee flopped in charts. Sad, since "Secret Love" was really good track but good because Blue have been missed.

The Saturdays/"One Shot" getting one more shot?
Posted on at 12:23 AM.
Rumours around The Saturdays are saying that "One Shot" might just get a second chance after "Missing You" is released. Few sources hinted that remixes for the song were done when the song was supposed to be released as a 3rd single off "Wordshaker" after "Ego". "Here Standing" was supposed single at some point, before it got switched to "One Shot" and now it looks like it will be "Radar" all over again. The label is keeping their ears open for the fans as they've done with lots of single releases before and now there could be a chance for them to push the single out for the fans who thought it was unjustice to left unreleased.Another source say this will just be a way to release one of the remixes comercially, since there is no single release. "Higher" is currently tipped for single release amongst fans, after they've performed the song in many events with their brand new single. Hopefully "Missing You" does it's work as a major grower and kills the charts next month.
There is even one long preview of official remix for "One Shot", listen it from here!

Darin/Lovekiller (New single)
Posted on 12.7.10 at 8:33 PM.
Here is the full version of Darin's "Lovekiller", his brand new single. It's safe to say that he is once again taking a new direction for his music. The last time it was more electric after heavily R&B-influenced material and now it has a new edge. The song sounds fantastic but it's quite a scene from start to it's interesting end and the lyrics are cool too. I'm not sure if I like the album if every track is similar to this, but it works well as a single hit. But I must say this isn't the sharpest first single I've heard from him yet, but it sounds great!
