Lady Gaga will be re-releasing her debut album ‘The Fame’ later this year with new songs. It’s rumoured the special edition will be called ‘The Fame: Monster’. A new single called ‘New York’ is also rumoured for the Autumn. Meanwhile, a special Lady Gaga edition of popular iPod application Tap Tap Revenge is now available from the iTunes Store. It’s also rumoured she will be running for US President in 2012.
If you haven’t already seen it, Preston from the Ordinary Boys is back and looking hot. His first solo single was Popjustice song of the day yesterday – head over there for a listen and a look.
Shakira is back with a new song later this month, it’s called ‘She Wolf’ and has one of the most bizzare teaser campaigns ever – check this out:
Apologies if I’ve blown the surprise for you, but, on the other hand, if you’ve already stumbled upon this and been concerned about the prospect of a werewolf on the loose in NYC – rest assured it’s just a slightly mental Colombian pop godess. My invite to the listening party for She Wolf obviously got lost in the post but the guys from Digital Spy were there.
And let’s take a quick look at how the mid week single chart is shaping up in the UK – David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland look set to knock Pixie Lott off the top spot, Take That are just inside the top ten, Jordin Sparks is just outside (but expect that to change by Sunday) and Stone Cold Sober by Paloma Faith and the Freemasons with Sophie Ellis Bextor are having a sniff around the top fifteen.

It’s back for a second installment…must have been a success.
First, some serious stuff. No, really. Virgin Media have signed a deal with Universal Music to clamp down on Internet piracy. Virgin will police users who share files illegally by temporarily disconnecting them but in return will offer an unlimited mp3 download and streaming service to broadband subscribers. More here…
Preston from the Ordinary Boys is coming back with a solo record. He’s looking rather dishy and according to Popjustice (therefore fact) the music is rather good.
The brilliant Sneaky Sound System are No.1 in the Official UK Club Chart with their new single ‘It’s Not My Problem’ – I don’t know what that means exactly but congratulations are most certainly in order. They are without a doubt one of my favourite bands of the 21st Century. I also hear they went down a storm at the Isle of Wight Festival on Friday night (see their Facebook page for photos).
A quick look at the charts… ..Pixie Lott goes straight to the top of the Official Singles Chart with ‘Mama Do’, Agnes moves up to number 3 and David Guetta and Kelly Rowland are new at 7. In the all new The Big Top 40 Show which has replace Hit40UK on commercial radio across the UK – David Guetta’s at the top, Pixie only makes number 2 and Lady Gaga sneaks into the top 10 at 9 with ‘Paparazzi’.
Pixie Lott looks set to top the UK singles chart this weekend with her debut single ‘Mama Do’. The 18 year old from Essex has been a record company darling since the age of 14, now it looks like all that hard work has paid off. She’s worked with producer of the moment Red One among others on her debut album ‘Turn It Up’ which is released in September.
Next to VV Brown who’s brilliant single ‘Shark In The Water’ is out on Monday. VV had a bit of a Twitter rant during the week because the song wasn’t added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist. She said she was “beyond gutted that despite support from all avenues of the industry radio 1 dont want to support us”. It does seem a little odd. There’s every reason for it to feature. Must be some record company/BBC type politics going on.
And finally, despite reports tickets for her gigs at the O2 were being sold for just £2 this week, Britney Spears has announced another string of dates across North America on her Circus tour taking her up to the end of the year. Her next single ‘Radar’ is due this summer – despite originally appearing on her last album ‘Blackout’. Rumours are already circulating that she’ll be releasing ‘Kill The Lights’ later in the year too.
