Taylor Swift on Billboard

Country’s teen singing sensation Taylor Swift shows just how much of a fighter she is in the new issue of Billboard. She’s talking about her music though and not her break up from Joe Jonas. She said “Being on a little record label, you have to fight harder than being on a bigger record label to be on award shows, to be a performer and a presenter and to get big tours and support. My record label [Big Machine Records] had 12 employees when I put out my album and my single and I just kept looking around and thinking, ‘Some day we are going to grow and this is going to change and we are going to have a fighting chance.’”
No commentsJonas Brothers for MySpace

The Jonas Brothers are one of three artists featured in an outdoor billboard campaign for MySpace Music in New York City’s Times Square. MIA and Lil Wayne are the other two featured artists. It’s all publicity for MySpace’s taste of the pie for digital media with their new venture. Considering that they’ve done a lot for artists like Colbie Caillat for one, I think they’d be greatly received. iTunes is about to get some competition. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Monopoly is an evil thing especially in a capitalist world. Plus, you can cheat with MySpace and be able to download stuff for free sometimes. Shh! Don’t tell anyone.
No commentsKaty Perry is Queen

It looks like Rihanna has some competition for the title of Queen for this summer as Katy Perry has done it again by topping the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth week in a row! The singer’s monster single ‘I Kissed a Girl’ is once again the number 1 song in America. The Barbadian singing sensation isn’t too far behind though as Rihanna’s ‘Take a Bow’ is hot on Katy’s heels at the number two spot. Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me on who’s going to rule the charts this summer. It’s pretty obvious that either of the girls is going to be it.
Miley’s Billboard

Miley Cyrus is featured on the cover of the new issue of Billboard. She talks about a lot of things like Vanity Fair, fans being shut out of her last tour, Hannah Montana, acting in a flick not related to Disney or Hannah Montana, on being a role model, but the most interesting part for me was when she talked about her new album and her songwriting. She says “It’s grown-up. I wrote all the songs except two… I wrote my first song when I was probably 7–it was called ‘Pink.’ That shows what kind of song it was about—it’s about the color pink. But you know what, darn it, I wrote it and I’ve been writing since I was my little sister’s age.” She tries so hard to be an artist.
