Julianne Hough Makes The News
Although the biggest story here is probably that, besides being linked to Ryan Seacrest, Dancing With The Stars alum and country singer, Julianne Hough is making headlines across the music industry for her flatlining music career. Early this week, Julianne released the video for her new single “Is That So Wrong” online. In the summer the video appeared on CMT, but was later taken down after sources say the conservative folks at the music television network found it too “wrong” for their audiences. The video showcases Hough strutting around her house doing what she does best: stripping, er uh, dancing… while removing articles of clothes, gyrating her hips, and spreading eagle…

America Wants To Stay
On Wednesday night, we watched Jason Aldean stun audiences with his powerful vocal performance and on stage chemistry with global pop sensation Kelly Clarkson, when the duo took the stage at the 44th Annual CMA’s. The Tragic Kingdom favorites performed the new single from Aldean’s latest album, My Kinda Party, entitled “Don’t You Wanna Stay”. Yesterday, Aldean’s label, Broken Bow Records, rushed the songs release and made the song available due to a flood of requests from radio stations across the country. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years in the record business, it is always give radio what they want,” said SVP Promotion Carson James. “Our entire…

Country’s Fresh Face
The fresh faced Carrie Underwood has inked a two-year deal with facial cleanser, Olay, to be the company’s new spokesmodel. The print ads (seen above) will begin rotating immediately, while the television campaign will debut during the Country Music Awards tomorrow night, which Underwood will also serve as host. Joe Arcuri, VP of Procter & Gamble, said in a statement: “The partnership with Carrie Underwood is all about reaching women like her, ages 25 to 35, who are not currently using Olay now, or really any other skin care brand, because they think the products are very focused on anti-aging. We believe this campaign will bring these women into the…

This week, music fans cashed in on the country craze, especially with the release of the newest effort from this month’s featured artist, Jason Aldean. The totals are still being counted, but it looks like Aldean’s My Kinda Party is projected to move about 200,000 copies in its first week (not a bad start), debuting at Billboard’s #2 spot. Taylor Swift‘s Speak Now will enjoy another week in the top position, projecting to move 350,000 in it’s second week. Also rounding out the top ten this week, it looks like Brad Paisley will land in that last spot with his greatest hits album, Hits Alive. Maybe it’s in preparation for this Wednesday’s…

Carrie Adds New Accolades to the List
First up, plagiarizer? It seems Underwood’s new single, “Cowboy Casanova“, is being accused of sounding awfully familiar to a song by an unknown country lady, Brittany McDonald. Apparently “Casanova”‘s co-writer, Brett James, met with McDonald and heard her song, “Bang!”, and loved it. Months later the Carrie single hit the airwaves. I admit that they have similar takes on the upbeat country song, but it is certainly not like Carrie pulled a Beyonce on Kelly Clarkson’s “Already Gone”. Take a listen to “Bang!” and weigh in. It’s unfortunate that they sound similar, but the controversy hasn’t stopped her fans. “Cowboy Casanova” is already the fastest selling single of Carrie’s career,…
