Boom Boom NOW!

Finally the Black Eyed Peas (which sometimes sounds like Will.I.Am & Fergie only) received their first Billboard Hot 100 number 1 single, with their lead single to their upcoming album, "Boom Boom Pow."

The Energy Never Dies AKA The E.N.D. has been said to be the Pea's last album, which wouldn't be surprising with Fergie's recent solo success, and hence the title, END! Regardless I personally am really excited to hear their new album, the Black Eyed Peas commercially friendly Hip Hop Pop sound is infectious to say the least.

With that being said it's great that they finally earned their 1st Hot 100 number 1 single, which actually has topped the Hot 100 for it's second week in a row; I do think past singles released by them may have been more deserving of the number 1 spot. "Boom Boom Pow," hasn't fully grown on me, but it is catchy thanks to Fergs, but I like songs like "My Humps," and "Lets Get It Started," better. Any who their album The E.N.D. is slatted for a release on June 9th, 2009.

Rihanna -We're Waiting...Wherever You Are!

I know this is going to sound completely crazy to some people, but I surprisingly am missing Rihanna.

I am completely sick and tired of hearing about the whole February Chris Brown/Rihanna domestic abuse scandal. It's really old and played out, yet still gaining massive amounts of media exposure- Chris does need some substantial punishment, and Rihanna you should NOT get back with him.

With that being said quickly, I could really go for a new Rihanna single, album... but I do not want to hear something off of 2007, yes OH SEVEN's Good Girl Gone Bad being released as a single, I do not care if it's remixed either! Let it die out peacefully. I have heard some of her demos or songs being presented to her including "Hatin' On The Club," and "Emergency Room."

I am really liking "Emergency Room," and whether it's Rihanna or not whose singing on the leaked version, I could definitely be released as a "Take A Bow" Part II. Supposedly Mario wrote the song, and there also is a version out there with his vocals on it too. Interesting, cause Rihanna and Mario on a duet sounds very odd to me. Surprisingly as well I heard "Hatin' On The Club" played on (one of my) my home town's radio station, had me thinking is a Rihanna album on the way..... But still no official word yet.

This all is really different for Rihanna to take a break... Because right after "If It's Lovin' That You Want," started to die down she moved quickly onto her sophomore album's lead single "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)." And the same thing happened when "Break It Off" wasn't getting a video filmed and peaked at number 9 on the Hot 100, we quickly after started to hear "Umbrella," off of her third album. So it's kind of odd for Def Jam to give Rihanna a break, I wonder if it is because of the abuse scandal, or if its from Def Jam realizing that if another Rihanna single was released so quickly people would seriously have got sick of her, and her near Beyonce number 1 song quality factor would slowly die down. Makes you wonder.

Swagga Jacked by the American Idol Herself? | "My Life Would Suck Without You"

It seems Kelly Clarkson made an apt time for her comeback. After her 3rd album My December, which tanked in comparison to her 6x platinum selling Breakaway.

She returns with a not so new sound, from her first single; "My Life Would Suck Without You," which sounds exactly like the "Since U Been Gone" Clarkson mixed with the ever now popular ElectroPop-Rock sound that Katy Perry brings to her music on singles such as "Hot & Cold." Obiviously they chose the safe route for Clarkson, since she couldn't afford to have another album not do well. Max Martin & Dr. Luke also wrote the song, who've had big successes with Pink ("So What"), Avril Lavigne ("Girlfriend"), Brintey Spears ("Circus"), and previously Clarkson ("Since U Been Gone"). All I Ever Wanted is due on March 10th, 2009.

I'm expecting the majority of the music to revisit the sound from Breakaway, but stay current to popular music-and ElectroPop is in, just ask Britney, & newcomer Lady GaGa who both landed at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Womanizer" & "Just Dance")

Two odd things regarding the release of "My Life Would Suck Without You," is that iTunes is oddly billing it as: "My Life Would S**k Without You." It really s**ks because I never knew s**k always meant something dirty. Nevertheless it managed to quickly peak at number 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart- which means it will be in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 next week. Guess I was wrong! But also the cover to 'My Life...' strikingly resembles Crazy Town's album cover for their 1999 album, The Gift Of Game. seems like Crazy Town deserves some sort of royalty for inspiring the cover. I mean both clearly have the same positions and everything, just look at it above!
