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.

Five Times August Achieve $20,000!

Our second ever Artist of the Week, Five Times August (November 11 - 18, 2007), had annouced a month ago that Brad Skitsmas (the only person in the band) needs $20,000 raised in order to release his next album. The deadline was Midnight August 16th. With 4 hours left to go, Brad has crossed the $20,000 mark. I was afraid that he would never cross it, but he was able to do it with hours left to spare. Thank you, fans of Five Times August, for allowing the band to continue doing music without a major label. Now, "Life As A Song" will be released on October 13th.

Mississippi Queen (Week 83)

Okay, the nominees have been selected, the new poll has been created, and the vote is now open. Here's the lowdown on this week's EdgeMusic Artist of the Week contest.

This week, the theme is "Mississippi Queen". Mississippi became the 20th state to be admitted into the United States on December 10th, 1817. It is currently the 31st most popular state and the 32nd largest state in area. The capital and the most popular city is Jackson, Mississippi. Mississippi is known for the Mississippi River, where it takes its name from.

Musicians from the state's Delta region have been significant in the Blues genre. The genre began to rise during Reconstruction and has been the origin of many Blues artists. Also, its significance in American music as a whole is recognized as well. Its most famous music native is Elvis Presley (today is the 32nd anniversary of his death). He was born in Tupelo, and he had gone on to crossover in the 1950s and popularize the rock n' roll genre. Other natives in music are Tammy Wynette, Bo Diddley, Britney Spears (NOTE: KENTWOOD, LOUISIANA DOESN'T HAVE ANY HOSPITALS), Brandy Norwood, Ray J, LeAnn Rimes, Jimmy Buffett, Faith Hill, and B.B. King.

This week's contest is between 5 bands from the state of Mississippi. The nominees are:

*Colour Revolt (Oxford)

*Fox Chase Drive (Jackson)

*Wavorly (Tupelo)

*Cleverform (Jackson)

*At Cliffs End (Jackson)

Those are your nominees this week. You can vote on either this website (poll listed below), or you can vote on our MySpace profile. Voting ends Saturday night at 11 PM Eastern. Results announced at Midnight.
