Data Shows Modest Tequila Downloads on iTunes Store Tila Tequila has the most friends on MySpace with nearly 1.7 million, but that popularity has not yet translated into meaningful iTunes purchases. According to data relayed by media tracking firm BigChampagne, the Tequila single, "I Love U," has delivered a lackluster performance so far. In a conversation with Digital Music News on Monday, BigChampagne chief executive Eric Garland pointed to iTunes sales volumes that were "in the thousands," though exact figures were not disclosed. Since its release in late February, the single has failed to cross into the top 50, though it did break the top 100 barrier shortly after its release. The best chart position came on March 1st, when the single danced into the 52nd slot. That performance follows heavy online promotional activity from Tequila, including a large amount of dedicated real estate on the artist's MySpace page. The modest result deflates some of the optimism surrounding the potential power of a MySpace artist. Whether Tequila is the perfect guinea pig remains unclear, and other experiments may be needed to truly assess the terrain. Meanwhile, questions surround the track itself, which may lack the punch of a bona fide hit. Still, deeper questions are lingering, including the willingness of MySpace users to purchase music. The Tequila friends list may contain some demographic surprises, particularly on the male side, though a heavy percentage skew Read Full Article | Read More News From This Artist

Cnn is reporting that Carrie Underwood will likely release a new album. long with releases by Kenny Chesney and Big & Rich, the most anticipated country album this fall might be Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts." The 22-year-old Underwood became the fourth winner of Fox's "American Idol" TV series in May, and the country music industry is hoping that she'll help reverse a 10 percent slide in sales this year -- that her popularity with the show's nearly 30 million viewers will translate into sales. "Look at all the exposure she's had. You'd expect it to be a lot like Kelly Clarkson," said Bill Kennedy, vice president of sales for Capitol Records Nashville. Clarkson, the first "American Idol" winner, has had six top 10 singles and two albums in the top 5. Her first album, "Thankful," debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's album chart in 2003. Underwood, who has a big, full voice like one of her country music heroes, Martina McBride, released a pop single in June, "Inside Your Heaven," that was chosen for her -- or for whomever won for that matter -- by "American Idol" producers.

A recent tour stop brought Audioslave to Winnipeg, Manitoba where the put on one hell of a show! The near capacity crowd was on their feet for the entire 2 hours of the show. Audislave covered a lot of material throughout the night with many songs off their new album, Out of Exile, as well as off their self titled debut album. Not to mention covering some SoundGarden and Rage Against the Machine tracks. Some of the highlights were Chris Cornell breaking into an accoustical session with a great rendition of Black Hole Sun in which the entire audience was drowning out his voice while they sang along. While the special effects were minimal, the band more than made up for it with a stellar performance, amazing guitar work and a clean, clear and crisp sound. If you have the chance to see Audioslave in person, it is definitly worth the price of admission. A big two thumbs up for these guys and the show they put on!

Tired of spinning the same stuff in your cd player? Skipping over the same old songs on your IPod? If you haven’t already discovered Matthew Good, you're not alone. Matthew Good was the lead singer of the Matthew Good Band, a western Canadian band that got high acclaim in the Canadian music world. However, the Matthew Good Band never broke into the American music market, and was never therefore considered a popular band. Matthew Good is now doing solo projects (backed up by a few of the members from the band). During its peak the Matthew Good Band had some amazing songs. Hello Time Bomb, Jenny, Middle Class Gangster, Rico. Matthew's voice is haunting and solid, leading to some amazing melodic music. He backs up his strong vocals with an array of hard rocking guitars and booming drums. If I haven’t sold you on at least investigating this band/singer, I probably never will. If you like Rock, and you appreciate strong vocals, give them a try. Read Full Article | Read More News From This Artist
