Backstreet Boys "Straight Through My Heart" Single On iTunes

The Backstreet Boys (May 4 - 11, 2008) have released a new song titled "Straight Through My Heart". It is the first single off their upcoming seventh album, "This Is Us", which hits stores October 6th. The song is produced by RedOne, who produced Lady GaGa's music, as well as the New Kids on the Block (July 20 - 27, 2008) comeback album "The Block". They have been back so many times now since 2005. This is their third comeback, but this time, it's for the radio stations. This song is a dance-pop track that reflects their previous dance hits. The only question is if it will become a hit. You can buy "Straight Through My Heart" on iTunes right now.

Kelly Clarkson Hates "Already Gone"

Kelly Clarkson (March 8 - 15, 2009) is now releasing her third official single from her fourth album "All I Ever Wanted". Turns out, the song was the one she NEVER wanted: "Already Gone".

Okay, Demi. You Can Stop Crying Now.

Billboard has reported that Demi Lovato's current single "Here We Go Again" has finally broken into the top 40 tier of the Billboard Hot 100. The song debuted 4 weeks ago at #51. Last week, it was #66. This week, it has jumped 42 spots to #24! This is only the second top 40 hit to date by Demi (April 26 - May 3, 2009). Her first top 40 hit was "This is Me", which was the Camp Rock duet with Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers (August 31 - September 7, 2008). Two songs from her debut album have come so close to breaking into the top 40 (Get Back peaked at #43, and Don't Forget was right on the edge at#41). We're proud of Demi, and now she's not in danger of being discussed in one of VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonder countdowns.

Oh yeah, and if Demi still cries every now and then, we won't stop her. It's actually sweet.

Demi Lovato's new album "Here We Go Again" is out now. Buy it. Or else the cops will catch you.

Boys Like Girls Are No Longer One Hit Wonders!

Boys Like Girls (January 6 - 13, 2008) released their new single "Love Drunk" not too long ago. Last week, it premiered at #46, which disappointed us because when it came out, it was #2 on iTunes, and then it fell down several spots.

However, this week, the song has shot up to #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its second week! It was also recognized as the week's biggest sales gainer thanks to iTunes. The only prior time that they broke into the Top 40 was almost two years ago with their first-ever single "The Great Escape". Now the worst they can be considered is a two-hit wonder, which isn't as bad.

Demi Lovato "Stop The World" Live From Lafayette (07.01.2009)

Demi Lovato (April 26 - May 3, 2009) performs a new song titled "Stop The World" off her upcoming album "Here We Go Again" on her summer tour in Lafayette, Louisiana. This song feels reminescent of Michelle Branch's "Breathe", and I can imagine this on radio.

Demi Lovato "Solo" Live From Lafayette (07.01.2009)

Demi Lovato (April 26 - May 3, 2009) performs a new song titled "Solo" off her upcoming album "Here We Go Again" on her summer tour in Lafayette, Louisiana. This is a very great jam song. You can sing this in your convertible.

Demi Lovato "Catch Me" Live From Lafayette (07.01.2009)

Demi Lovato performs a new song titled "Catch Me" off of her upcoming album "Here We Go Again" on her summer tour in Lafayette, Louisiana. This song goes into most of the duration in a sweet, soothing acoustic melody, and then it kicks into hard time at the end, just like "Don't Forget". Well done, Demi.

Demi Lovato "You Got Nothing On Me" Live From Lafayette (07.01.2009)

Demi Lovato (April 26 - May 3, 2009) introduces a new song off her upcoming album "Here We Go Again" called "You Got Nothing On Me" on her summer tour in Lafayette, Louisiana. The chorus was very fun to learn, and I'm interested to hear how she does it on the studio cut. Maybe this next album will be great also.

The Mission District's New Video For "So Over You"

The Mission District - So Over You from Fiona Byers on Vimeo.

Our good friends from The Mission District (March 16 - 23, 2008) have a new music video out for their first single "So Over You". The single will be released on August 10th through EMI.

Boys Like Girls "Love Drunk"

We now have the first single from the new album by Boys Like Girls (January 6 - 13, 2008). "Love Drunk" is the title track of their long awaited follow-up to their self-titled debut in 2006. The new album will be released on September 8th. This new song is just as good as their biggest song "The Great Escape". You can buy it right now on iTunes. We would have posted up a link to the song from something like zShare or Mediafire, but we're not illegal music pirates.

Both Our Artists of the Week & Demi Lovato Release New Singles

It was an interesting week for EdgeMusic on iTunes. This past Sunday, we name Ashley Tisdale and KSM our EdgeMusic Artists of the Week after tying for 1st place. This past Tuesday, both of them have released new singles on iTunes. Ashley Tisdale released a song called "Overrated", which is off her upcoming album "Guilty Pleasure". iTunes is apparently counting down to the album release by releasing a song off her album every 2 weeks leading up to the week her album drops. They already have "It's Alright, It's OK" and "Masquerade" out. On July 7th, they will release "What If", and "Acting Out" will be out July 21st. This song isn't as good as "Masquerade", but it's a lot better than her 1st single "It's Alright, It's OK". Definitely check it out.

KSM released a song called "I Want You To Want Me". As we count down to seeing them Wednesday with David Archuleta and Demi Lovato, they cover a song from Cheap Trick, who we'll also see when they open up for Def Leppard (May 11 - 25, 2008) on August 18th. The song will be featured in the upcoming ABC Family show "10 Things I Hate About You". It certainly sounds better than all the 89 covers of this song.

Also this past week, Demi Lovato (April 26 - May 3, 2009) also released her 1st single "Here We Go Again", the title track on her upcoming second album. This is the only song on the album that Demi Lovato has not written, as she wrote all the rest. Whatever the acoustic rock style that will be displayed on her new album sounds like, we're glad there's at least one song that keeps the sound from her superior debut album, "Don't Forget". Buy it on iTunes, and request it on the radio so that it does good on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was #23 on the iTunes 100 Songs until Michael Jackson's death resurged song downloads and took over the chart. It's at #45 right now, but it could still debut good, since the Billboard Hot 100 doesn't allow old songs to re-chart.
