La Roux 2 Release "I'm Not Your Toy"



La Roux will release her fourth single, "I'm Not Your Toy" from her Mercury-Award nominated debut album.

"I'm Not Your Toy" will be released on September 28, 2009. The music video will premiere on September 7 with a radio release on September 16.

This is a perfect single choice. I would love for either "Colourless Colour" or "As If By Magic" to be released as the next single.

Leona Lewis is "Happy" With New Single


Leona Lewis is set to release her lead single from her sophomore album, "Echo."

The lead single will be titled, "Happy" and will be released on September 7, 2009. The music video will premiere near the end of September with a radio date for the middle of September.

"Echo" will be released on November 17, 2009.

Bat For Lashes 2 Release Double A-Side


Bat For Lashes is set to release her third single from her mercury-award nominated sophomore album, "Two Suns."

As mentioned before, "Sleep Alone" was released in August 2009. The music video premiered last month, but now there has been a change of plans. The third single will actually be a double-A single which means two singles will be released at the same time.

"Sleep Alone" and "Moon and Moon" will be released at the same time. "Moon and Moon" will be the fourth single and will be released near the end of September, with a music video to premiere in October.

I am very happy with the choices! There are two more tracks that I could see being singles, they are "Two Planets" and "Glass."

The double-A single was released to promote the deluxe edition of "Two Suns" which includes the entire album as well as a bonus CD with remixes, live tracks and previously unreleased material as well as a DVD documentary.

Mimi's "Imperfect Angel" Track Listing

M-Dolla Has Highest Grossing Solo Tour


Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour wrapped yesterday with the second of two shows in Tel Aviv, Israel (Sept. 1-2), putting the lid on what looks to be the second-highest grossing tour of all time.

With a gross of $408 million, Sticky & Sweet is the top-grossing tour by a solo artist of all time, and second only to the Rolling Stones' $558 million Bigger Bang tour of 2005-2007. "She is absolutely one of the great performers of all time," says Arthur Fogel, Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring for Live Nation, producer of Madona's tours. "That this tour will take its place as the second highest grossing tour in the history of our business says it all."

Since its launch in August 2008, Sticky & Sweet has moved more than 3.5 million fans to 85 shows in 32 countries, according to Live Nation. Madonna set an attendance record for the biggest crowds in history in Zurich, Switzerland, where she drew the largest audience ever for a concert in that country (72,000). According to Live Nation stats, her Gothenburg, Sweden show, seen by 119,000 fans, broke the record for highest grossing multiple shows in the country's history. In Helsinki, Finland, Sticky & Sweet sold more than 85,000 tickets, making it the biggest single show by an artist in history for all of Scandinavia. Other highlights on the tour included stops in Buenos Aires, Argentina (256,000), Santiago, Chile (146,000), Sao Paolo, Brazil (203,000), Tallinn, Estonia (72,000), Warsaw, Poland (79,000), Bucharest, Romania (69,000), and Sofia, Bulgaria (54,000).

Sticky & Sweet broke Madonna's previous record for top solo tour ever with her Confessions tour, which grossed $194 million in 2006, according to Billboard Boxscore. The 2008-2009 tour was the first under Madonna's $120 million, 10-year multi-rights deal with Live Nation.
