Two former Idol contestants can lay claim to top 10 singles this week, both on the Billboard pop chart. For the second straight week, Jordin Sparks’ latest hit, “Battlefield,” checks in at number seven among pop singles. And though they’re better known as a rock band, Daughtry has enjoyed its share of pop success and…
Avril Lavigne. Shania Twain. The list of celebrities and musicians auditioning for the role of Idol’s fourth judge just keeps getting longer. I mean, at this point, who hasn’t had a turn in the judge’s chair? Billy Bob Thornton. That’s who. That suggestion comes from country music star and former Idol contestant Bucky Covington, who’s…
That didn’t take long. Monday, we learned that Carrie Underwood’s new album would be titled “Play On” and is scheduled for a Nov. 3 release. Absent was any news about the first single off the album. Well, late last night, Underwood’s first single from album three, “Cowboy Casanova,” was announced on her MySpace page. Still…
Can Danny Gokey become the next Kellie Pickler? Or Carrie Underwood? Apparently that will be the goal. A week ago, Danny said he’d have a record deal soon and that he was going country. The news became official Wednesday when 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville announced his signing. Fans can expect a single late this fall and…
It’s official: Jordin Sparks is diva worthy. While the whole world — or is it just the whole American Idol world? — seems to be fixated on Paula Abdul’s every move, you might have missed that bit of news. Yes, Paula’s new gigs include hosting VH1 Divas 2009 on Sept. 17 (9 p.m. EST). But…
Country music star Carrie Underwood’s new album has a title: “Play On.” Check out the cover at left. A press release issued Monday morning announced the name of the album, scheduled for a Nov. 3 release. The album is being produced by Mark Bright, the same guy who was at the helm of Carrie’s second…
Have no fear, Kelly Clarkson fans. Her cancellation of a show at the Minnesota State Fair on Sunday night has been chalked up to a “temporary illness” and shouldn’t affect future shows, including her Sept. 11 concert at the York Fair. So said her publicist Monday afternoon. Kelly was in fine voice Friday night when…
We’ve hit a bit of a late-August/September lull in high-profile Idol releases. Don’t worry. It won’t last for long. In October, we’ll get new albums from Blake Lewis, Katharine McPhee and a Christmas CD from David Achuleta. See the “Upcoming CDs” link at right for details. And, according to a Tweet he posted Thursday, Kris…
Anyone who follows season seven runner-up David Archuleta on Twitter knows he’s been spending part of his summer in the recording studio, singing Christmas tunes. And he talks about the photo shoot for the album cover in a video blog posted Monday. The end result of his efforts will be an album titled “Christmas from…
I was on vacation last week, so I missed the exciting news. Fans can now pre-order Jason Castro’s debut album through his Web site, for about $400. OK, that’s just the most expensive of three packages being offered. But, wow! I figure someone’s really going to have to be a fan of dreadlocks to spend…
