Kings of Leon are once again kings of the album chart for a second consecutive week. Hillsong has summoned their inner King's X and debut at #7 on the charts. I got an advance of the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack. I recognized many of the names and even knew a few of the songs. Fans of the '80s will delight in songs by The Smiths. Today's indie kids would do well to study their Morrissey and they can do that with this soundtrack and hear those songs alongside some of their favorite contemporary indie artists.

Yes, Whitney is gonna be back! I love MILLION DOLLAR BILL, her Alicia Keys-penned track off I LOOK TO YOU. Noone can do it like her. I hope her album will remind the younger generation who the real DIVA is. Btw, Madonna has also released a new single called CELEBRATION. It is climbing the Hot100 charts and hope it reaches the top 40 and top ten and topspot in the weeks to come.
