Jay-Z Kanye West su i ove nedelje na prvom mestu Billboard Top 200 liste sa njihovim zajedničkim albumom "Watch the Throne". Ovaj album je prošle nedelje prodat u 177 000 primeraka, što je ukupno 613 000 od objavljivanja.
U top 10 su dva noviteta ove nedelje. Novi album Eli Young Banda "Life at Best" debitovao je na šestom mestu sa 35 000 primeraka, što je njihov prvi top 10 album i najbolja nedeljna prodaja. 
Takođe prvi top 10 album dobio je bend Blue October. Njihovo novo izdanje "Any Man in America" nalazi se na osmom mestu (27 000).
Što se liste singlova tiče, Katy Perry je zadržala prošlonedeljnu #1 poziciju sa "Last Friday Night (T. G. I. F)" uprkos tome što je pala sa prvog na drugo mesto liste najslušanijih pesama na radio-stanicama i što je i dalje 4. najprodavanija pesma u zemlji. Ovo znači da će Katy sledeće nedelje najverovatnije izgubiti prvo mesto na Hot 100 listi. 
Novi singl Lil Wayna "She Will" debitovao je na trećem mestu. Ovo je bila najprodavanija pesma prošle nedelje sa 255 000 prodatih downloada, što je najbolja prodaja pesme u prvoj nedelji u karijeri ovog izvođača. Pesma je trenutno na 71. mestu najslušanijih pesama, ali jasno je da će uskoro postati pretendent na prvo mesto Hot 100 liste.

LISTEN: Feist - How Come You Never Go There (NEW SINGLE!)


Feist je konačno objavila novi singl - "How Come You Never Go There"! Ovo je prvi singl sa njenog novog albuma "Metals" koji će biti objavljen 4. oktobra. Pesma nije toliko komercijalna kao njen veliki hit "1 2 3 4" sa njenog albuma "Reminder", ali kako sama kaže, to joj nije bio ni cilj. Ipak, siguran sam da će ispuniti očekivanja onih koji vole njenu muziku.
Uživajte :)

Billboard Charts: Adele provela najveći broj nedelja na prvom mestu u 21. veku / Adele Notches Most Weeks at No. 1 in the 21th century

Aktuelni album Adele "21" nalazi se na prvom mestu po 12. put, što je najveći broj nedelja na vrhu još od Santaninog albuma "Supernatural" iz 1999. godine. Ovaj album prošle nedelje prodat je u 76 000 primeraka što je ukupno 2.9 miliona od objavljivanja pre 6 meseci.
Prošlonedeljni #1 album "Chief" Erica Churcha pao je na drugo mesto (53 000).
U top 10 su četiri noviteta. Novi album country pevača Tracea Adkinsa "Proud to be Here" stiže na treće mesto (47 000), što je njegov četvrti top 10 album. Četvrti studijski album Mata Kearneya "Young Love" debitovao je na četvrtom mestu (44 000), što je najbolja pozicija i nedeljna prodaja u njegovoj karijeri.
Na petom mestu je soundtrack Nickelodoenove serije "Victorious" (41 000), dok je na devetom mestu R'n'B kompilacija "Slow Grind" (32 000).
Što se liste singlova tiče, Katy Perry ni ove nedelje nije uspela da stigne do prvog mesta, jer su tu poziciju zadržali LMFAO sa "Party Rock Anthem". To će se možda promeniti sledeće nedelje jer je Katy objavila remiks pesme "Last Friday Night" sa Missy Elliot.
Duet Adama Levine i Christine Aguilere "Moves Like Jagger", za koji je nedavno objavljen i spot, napredovao je sa 25. na osmo mesto ove nedelje. Ovo je četvrti top 10 hit za Maroon 5 (prvi od 2005. godine) i 9. za Christinu Aguileru.
Top 10 liste albuma i singlova pogledajte ispod ovog posta.

The latest Adele's album "21" spends the 12th week at #1 which is the most weeks on top since Santana's "Supernatural" back in 1999. This album was sold in 76k copies last week bringing total to 2.9 million.
The last week #1 album Eric Church's "Chief" slips to #2 (53k).
There are four new entries inside top 10. Trace Adkins' new studio album "Proud to be Here" reaches #3 (47k) which is his fourth top 10 album. The fourth studio album by Mat Kearney "Young Love" bows at #4 (44k), which is the best position and best weekly sales in his career.
A soundtrack from Nickelodoen's TV series "Victorious" starts at #5 (41k), while R'n'B compilation "Slow Grind" arrives at #9 (33k).
As for the singles chart, LMFAO with "Party Rock Anthem" block Katy Perry again to reach #1. But that maybe changes next week, because Katy has recently released a remix of "Last Friday Night" featuring Missy Elliot.
Christina Aguilera's and Adam Levine's duet "Moves Like Jagger", that got a video recently, moves 25-8 making it the fourth top 10 hit for Maroon 5 and 9th for Christina.

LISTEN: Katy Perry feat. Missy Elliot - Last Friday Night (Remix) (NEW SINGLE!)


Katy Perry se već nedeljama nalazi na drugom mestu Billboard Hot 100 liste sa "Last Friday Night (T. G. I. F.)". Ali, ako uspe da dođe do prvog mesta imaće 5 #1 singlova na ovoj listi sa istog albuma, koliko ih je imao Michael Jackson sa albumom "Bad", što je rekord.
Kako bi došla do cilja, objavila je remiks svog aktuelnog singla (u prodaji od ponedeljka), u kome učestvuje čuvena reperka Missy Elliot. Hoće li uspeti u svojoj nameri, saznaćemo za dve nedelje.

Lady Gaga i Kanye West ulažu u društvenu mrežu / Lady Gaga & Kanye West to invest in social network


Lady Gaga i Kanye West odlučili su da ulože svoj novac u moderne tehnologije, te su tako uložili 7.5 miliona dolara u jedinstovanu socijalnu mrežu Turntable.fm.
"Turntable.fm je streaming servis, koji omogućava korisnicima da komuniciraju međusobno, tako što ocenjuju jedni drugima muzički ukus u "privatnim DJ sobama", tj. zatvorenim sekcijama sajta. U svakoj "sobi" postoji pet DJ mesta, a korisnici se menjaju u puštanju muzike, a zatim jedni drugima ocenjuju izbor pesama. Uticajni blog Techcrunch, koji prati novitete iz tehnologije, tvrdi da je ovaj servis revolucionaran kao što su to Twitter ili Foursquare".
Prevod: MTV

Trenutno pristup ovom servisu imaju samo stanovnici Sjedinjenih Američkih Država.

Lady Gaga and Kanye West decided to invest in new technologies, so they invested 7.5 mil $ in a growing and unique social network Turntable.fm.
"Turntable.fm is essentially a music streaming service which allows multiple users to interact with each other and offer opinions on each others' music in private DJ rooms. Each room has up to five DJ slots, and users take it in turns to play a song, while listeners rate them as 'awesome' or 'lame'.
The service is said to be as revolutionary as Twitter or Foursquare by influential gadget blog Techcrunch".

Tužbe, plagijati... / Accusations, plagiarisms...

Tužbe za plagijat definitivno nisu retka pojava, posebno u svetu pop muzike koje i inače privlače veliku pažnju medija. Da krenemo redom. Kao što znate (a znate ako čitate ovaj blog), Leona Lewis je nedavno objavila novi singl "Colide". Sve je to super, samo što je snimila bez dozvole autora (da, ne krade samo Karleuša). Instrumental je uradio švedski muzičar Tim Bergling alias DJ Avicii i, kako tvrdi, na taj instrumental je dodat Leonin vokal bez prethodnog konsultovanja sa njim. Saslušanje obe strane je zakazno za 8. avgust. Naravno, poslušajte obe pesme, pa prosudite i vi. 
Tu je još jedan slučaj. Pevačica Rebecca Francescatti tvrdi da je pesma "Judas" Lady Gage, zapravo obrada njene pesme "Juda" iz 1999. godine. I ona je podnela tužbu, ali sudeći po isečcima ne verujem da će se obogatiti.

***

Accusations for plagiarism are definitely not rare, especially in pop music world which are closely followed by medias. So, let's start. As you know (and you know if you read this blog), Leona Lewis has recently released her now single "Colide". It's all nice, just it seems that she recorded it without an author's permission. An instrumental for the song recorded Swedish musician Tim Bergling alias DJ Avicii and, according to him, Leona's vocals were just added to his music without asking for a permission previously. Both sides will meet in court on Aug 8th. In a meantime, you can listen both songs below and judge for yourself.
There is another case.  American singer Rebecca Francescatti claims that Lady Gaga's "Judas" is a rip-off of her 1999 song "Juda". She filed a lawsuit, but according to snipets below, she won't get ritch.

    Kings of Leon pred raspadom? / Kings of Leon to disband?


    Popularna grupa Kings of Leon otkazala je ostatak svoje američke turneje, što je pojačalo glasine o raspadu benda. Zvanično, turneja je otkazana zbog toga što pevač, Caleb Followill, ima probleme sa glasom, ali je njegov brat, Jared, bio iskreniji sa fanovima, te je na twitter-u napisao:
    "Znam da niste glupi. Ne mogu da lažem. U našem bendu ima većih problema od nedovoljnog konzumiranja Gatoradea (sportsko piće, prim. aut.)."
    Spekuliše se da je jedan od razloga prekida turneje i taj što Caleb previše pije, pa njegova porodica i prijatelji pokušavaju da ga ubede da ode na rehabilitaciju. Tokom poslednjeg koncerta u Dalasu Caleb je napustio scenu na nekoliko minuta rekavši da ide da povraća, ali ne zato što previše pije, nego zato što mu je vruće.
    Njihova turneja trebalo bi da se nastavi 28. septembra u Kanadi, a da li će se to desiti ostaje da vidimo. Nadam se samo da neće biti "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said 'no, no, no" situacija.

    Kings of Leon cancelled the rest of their US tour which increased rumors about disbanding. Officially, the tour is cancelled becase a singer, Caleb Followill, is suffering from vocal issues, but his brother, Jared, has been a little more honest with fans.
    "I know you guys aren't stupid. I can't lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade," he tweeted. 
    It's also being speculated that one of the reason for cancelling the tour were Caleb's drinking problems and that his friends and family are trying to convince him to go to rehab. During their last concert in Dallas, Caleb left the stage for few minutes saying that he had to vomit because it was hot in a hall and not because he's drinking too much.
    Their tour should continue on Sep 28th in Canada, but only time will tell if that will happen. 
    I just hope this won't turn out into "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said 'no, no, no" sutuation.
