There Will Be A 4th "E=MC2" Single"?!


Here is what has happened in the Mariah Carey "E=MC2" world in the last month:

- "I'm That Chick" was to be released as the 4th single, than it was canceled
- "Migrate" was chosen as the 4th single, than it was also canceled
- Both singles were canceled because "The Ballads" album was to be released in November 2008
- Now "I Stay In Love" has been chosen as the 4th single

Only time will tell if "I Stay In Love" will actually be released as a single. So far it states that October 21, 2008 will be the radio/digital release date.

'Miles Away' 3rd Official 'Hard Candy' Single


Madonna/Warner Brothers have decided to release the fan favourite "Miles Away" as the third official single from "Hard Candy".

"Miles Away" was released today, September 29, 2008 to North American radio. It will be released on October 7, 2008 digitally. It is unknown whether or not there will be an official video to accompany the single's release worldwide, but it has been rumored that there might not be one.

So far I am completely happy with all the singles released from "Hard Candy". Most likely there will only be one more single released because Madonna has an untitled Greatest Hits collection coming out in 2009.

If they decided to release any other singles from "Hard Candy" I feel "Heartbeat" and "Beat Goes On" would be great single choices. It would be even more amazing if they released both these songs next.

'The Dark Knight' DVD/Blu Ray Details



The cover art and early specs for the home release of "The Dark Knight" have been posted online. The December 9th release will come in single-disc DVD, double-disc DVD and Blu-ray editions.

Director Christopher Nolan has confirmed that on the Blu-ray release, the film will swap between a 2.40:1 aspect ratio for scenes shot on 35mm and full sized widescreen 1.78:1 for the IMAX scenes (IMAX is shot in 1.66:1 so a little bit of the top and bottom of the IMAX image will be lost).

The Blu-ray will also include a Gotham Uncovered documentary, featurettes, the Gotham Tonight cable news viral segments, galleries, trailers and TV spots. A limited edition set with Batpod will also be available. Here's the art including the slipcases for each version:

Britney's 'Womanizer' Delayed One Week


Britney Spears brand new single 'Womanizer' from her sixth studio album 'Cicrus' was to be released to radio today, September 22, 2008 but has since been delayed one week. It will not be allowed on radio until September 29, 2008.

On Monday at 7:35 am the new single 'womanizer' was to premiere on North American radio, That was the plan! But shortly before the worldwide premiere on radio, SonyBMG called the radio stations and stopped the single from being played. Britney Spears is allegedly still in the studio finishing up some last minute touches on the track.

SonyBMG are blaming the "demo leak" of the single by a radio station on Friday as well as a deadline not being met by the producers of the track. Currently media does not have access to the single because the single needs some more mixing and editing.

I think the reason it has been delayed is because the track sucks and they realized that this may be Britney's last chance to redeem herself, so they need a really kick ass single.

September 29 - Radio Release
October 7 - Digital Release

Official X-Tina GHs Track Listing


Christina Aguilera is set to release her Greatest Hits collection entitled "Keeps Gettin Better: A Decade of Hits" on November 11, 2008. The lead single "Keeps Gettin Better" impacted radio on September 8, 2008 and its video will premiere at the very end of September, early October.

The official track listing for "Keeps Gettin Better" was just released and it includes all her biggest hits, but only has 12 tracks, two of them are brand new. There are four tracks that I thought for sure were gonna be on the CD but were left off because they weren't huge hits.

01 - "Genie in a Bottle" (New Version)
02 - What a Girl Wants"
03 - "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)"
04 - "Lady Marmalade" (New Version)
05 - "Dirrty" featuring Redman
06 - "Beautiful" (New Version)
07 - "Fighter"
08 - "Ain't No Other Man"
09 - "Hurt"
10 - "Candyman"
11 - "Keeps Gettin' Better"
12 - "Dynamite"

The four tracks that I cannot believe are not on the album are:

- 'Reflection' which was her first single and was released in 1998 which would make this album not a decade of hits because it only has tracks from 9 years with the omission of 'Reflection'.
- 'I Turn To You' which was the only ballad from her debut album and it reached #2 which is higher than other tracks on the collection such as 'Dirrty', 'Candyman' and 'Hurt'.
- 'Can't Hold Us Down'
- 'The Voice Within'

I knew that the other tracks such as her spanish language singles, her featured artist singles and the overseas singles 'Oh Mother' and 'Slow Down Baby' were not going to be released.

Let's hope that the DVD collection of her videos include all her videos and not a select few like they did with Destiny's Child and Aaliyah.

30 Tracks Recorded 4 'Circus' Experiment


Britney Spears has recorded over 30 tracks for her sixth studio album 'Circus' which comes out on December 2, 2008. The first single 'Womanizer' is set to impact radio and digital stores tomorrow, September 22, 2008.

Britney explains, "I wanted to experiment with producers I havent worked with much before."

Let's hope the new album is just as good as 'Blackout'.

Mariah's "Love Songs" Now "The Ballads"


Earlier this month I spoke about Mariah Carey releasing an album containing all her biggest ballads from the 1990s. It was to be entitled "Love Songs" and to be released on January 20, 2009.

Well those plans were scrapped and it has been pushed forward to October 20, 2008 and will now be called "The Ballads".

The reason for the rush release is because her latest album "E=MC2" has not done as well as expected and they have decided not to release "Migrate" anymore. It was to be released at the end of September 2008 but they are done with "E=MC2". Now with a big window open for Fall 2008 why not release the Ballads album now so it can compete for Christmas. This album will most likely do very well because everyone loves Mariah Carey's ballads from the 1990s and now they are all on one CD, a perfect Christmas present!


Here is the official tracklisting for "The Ballads":

1. Hero/93
2. Vision Of Love/90
3. Without You/93
4. Always Be My Baby/95
5. My All/97
6. How Much [With. Usher]/99
7. Dreamlover/93
8. Thank God I Found You [With. Nas and Joe]/99
9. The Roof/97
10. One Sweet Day [With. Boyz II Men]/95
11. Anytime You Need A Friend/93
12. I'll Be There [With. Trey Lorenz]/92
13. I Still Believe/98
14. Reflections [Care Enough]/01
15. Open Arms/95
16. Against All Odds [With. Westlife]/99
17. Endless Love [With. Luther Vandross]/94
18. All I Want For Christmas [Is You]/94

"Naughty Step" Delayed Til February


Lily Allen has penciled in a February 9, 2009, release date for her sophomore album "Stuck On The Naughty Step". Last month Allen wrote on her MySpace page that the album was finished but being held up by drama at EMI in the wake of its buyout by private equity firm Terra Firma.

Billboard has heard 10 tracks from the record, again produced by Greg Kurstin, and Allen sounds as lyrically confident as ever. Songs such as "Everyone's At It" and "I Don't Know" showcase a more electronic sound, with the latter song dissecting the artist's tabloid infamy.

On her MySpace blog, Allen promises "there will be bits and bobs flying around" prior to street date, including a viral video for an unnamed song. At present, she's in the studio "working on extra stuff" to augment the new album.

"I am trying really hard to do this album with integrity and I want you all to know that it has been thought about by me, not just some thrown together last minute industry bullshizz," she says.

The new album is the follow-up to 2007's "Alright Still," which has sold 514,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Mariah & T-Pain 2 "Migrate" This Fall


The Mariah Carey Gods have answered my prayers. They have really chose wisely when thinking of a 4th single.

Originally it was announced that "I'm That Chick" was to be released as the 4th official single this Fall. Mariah even perfomed the track at "Fashion Rocks" and the "Canadian Idol Finale" this past month.

Well, her label have decided to release the much more urban, dance track "Migrate" featuring. T-Pain. "Migrate" is the opening track to the album "E=MC2" and it really is one of the standout tracks of the bunch.

"Migrate" is to be released to radio on September 30, 2008 and a digital release on Cotboer 1, 2008. The video is currently being filmed and will be released on October 11, 2008.

Let's hope this brings Mariah her 19th #1 because "Bye Bye" and "I'll Be Lovin U Long Time" were sad excuses for singles.
