Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Pop,
The sibling exploitation has begun.
A song that was originally released by La Toya Jackson over a month ago, now has a video to go with it. Although a release date for her upcoming album is unknown, the label decided to offer “Home” shortly after Michael Jackson’s death. Fortunately, the move was (mostly) made for a good cause.

Kris Allen Gets Album Release Date
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock,
November is going to be a busy month for past American Idol winners. On November 11, Carrie Underwood will host the CMA Awards for the second year in a row. Now Kris Allen is getting a date on the calendar.
On Friday, the Season 8 champ used his Twitter account to break professional news. (That’s so very Paula Abdul.) “Hey guys! The album is set to release Nov 17th,” Allen revealed.
Earlier this summer, the 24-year-old said his upcoming album would be built on the sound that helped him win. “Everyone’s been asking me what it’s going to sound like. It will be very similar to what you heard from me on the show — definitely in the pop/rock genre.”
Kris’ as-yet-untitled CD can be pre-ordered on Amazon now.
(FYI - You can also follow Albumista on Twitter.)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Videos, Pop,
If you saw any of Katharine McPhee‘s acting appearances in the past year (The House Bunny, CSI: NY), you might have almost forgotten about her singing career. With any luck, that will change in the next few months.
In the video above, the former American Idol finalist can be seen working on her upcoming album Unbroken. McPhee, who recently took a drastic turn to the blonde side (you can see a picture after the jump), says her lightened locks were a result of her new sound.

Jason Mraz Sets New Billboard Record
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, The Charts, Pop,
Having trouble getting Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” out of your head? It seems you are not the only one.
Despite debuting over a year ago (May 3, 2008) and only peaking at #6 on the Hot 100, the song still has a lot of life. Now, after 70 weeks on that Billboard chart, the Grammy-nominated tune has broken the record previously set by LeAnn Rimes. (“How Do I Live” ended it’s 69-week run in 1998.)
“I’m Yours” is also the first tune to top each of these four radio-based charts: Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs, Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40, and Triple A.

Lady Gaga to Tone Down Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Industry News, Performances, Dance, Pop,
Lady Gaga is toning down her image for her trip to Israel. The “Poker Face” singer - famed for her provocative outfits and routines - has vowed to be respectful while she is in the Jewish country and can’t wait to see “sacred and holy” Jerusalem. She added her visit to the holy city will be “an emotional and spiritual experience.” However, the 23-year-old blonde - who plans to swim in the Dead Sea - admits she won’t be able to curb all her wild behavior and has confessed she might “get drunk in Jerusalem.”
Lady Gaga, who will perform the last show of her “Fame Ball” tour in Tel Aviv tonight, is not the first star ordered to tone down their image during a visit to a religious country. In October 2007, Beyonce Knowles canceled her concert in Malaysia after she was told to follow the Muslim country’s strict dress code. Gwen Stefani was also told to cover up during her Malaysian concert in August 2007. The flamboyant star wore sober outfits but called it a “major sacrifice”. She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines during the show. Madonna was warned about her raunchy stage show for her concert in Russia’s St. Petersburg earlier this month.

Pink doesn’t drink alcohol because she has a hard time with the day after.
The “So What” singer - who is famed for her wild lifestyle and has previously admitted taking illegal drugs - has curtailed the amount she drinks as it has a negative impact on her performances. Her husband Carey Hart, who she reunited with earlier this year, explained: “I don’t really really drink anymore,” Hart stated. “[Pink]‘s actually gotten really good about it, too. Her tour is so intense that she’s the same way as me. She can’t deal with the hangovers…If she has an off night, she falls from her trapeze, so that’s not so good.”
Professional motocross racer Carey - who married the now 29-year-old singer in January 2006, with the pair taking time away from their relationship in February last year - added he and Pink are happy since reuniting, but have no plans to start a family yet. He added to E! News: “It’s a long ways down. She still has another 18 months of touring, and I’m pretty heavy in competing again in all my businesses, so it’s definitely going to happen, but just not anytime soon.”
