Tohoshinki & Big Bang On Music Station

On the December 25th Christmas Special edition of Music Station Live in Japan, two of Korea's biggest groups,TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki and Big Bang were invited to be on the show.

Both groups had a brief interview and performed their hit singles, TVXQ performing Stand By You and Big Bang performing Gara Gara Go. Out of these two performances the thing that stood out the most for me was T.O.P.'s hair... he's got a huge fro.

SNSD In The USA?

Many people have been trying hard to break in to the US market such as Wonder Girls, Crown J, Rain, Lee Byung Hun, BoA, and Se7en. But out of all the other Korean artistes, which seem like they have a chance in the States?

At Bugs music site they held a a poll, "Which musician could make it in America?" andSNSD won with 29% of the votes. Nothing against the girls but really? In my opinion, they are really far off from what America is looking for. They're cute, I'll give them that, but who would take them seriously here?

Netizens argued, "SNSD has 9 girls and some can speak English. They can pull off all concepts. If they get a good producer, they would be successful." If that's the case, shouldn't most Korean artistes who have tried to make it in the US, have made it already since they always seem to get the best producers.

Another netizen commented, "In the US, they love Asian women. I think girl groups have a better chance than the boy groups."

2nd place went to 2PM. Netizens said, "JYP has a lot of connections in America so they would have an advantage," and "2PM's amazing performances would gather attention."

They chose Big Bang for third place. And Rain took 4th place. Ouch, the one guy that's actually done work in America gets fourth place. 2NE1 took fifth place and Wheesungtook sixth.

The Pussycat Dolls getting new members

The girl band have been surrounded by rumours they are splitting, but choreographer Robin Antin - who founded the group in its first incarnation as a dance troupe in 1995 – insists they are continuing but with fresh faces joining lead singer Nicole Scherzinger.

She told MTV: 'Nicole is going back in the studio. We're working on new music right now. There will be a few new faces in the Pussycat Dolls. I've been really putting that out there. I'm really excited about it. Inside every girl, inside every woman, is a Pussycat Doll and I always want to bring in new faces to really show that.

'The Pussycat Dolls are not breaking up. I'm the creator of the Pussycat Dolls and I own the brand. I would be the one to say, 'OK, it's over.' But it's so not.'

Robin wouldn’t reveal who of the current line-up – Nicole, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton – might be leaving but insists a change of faces will invigorate the group.

She added: "It's Nicole and a couple new faces. Some of the girls want to go and do their own thing. We're moving on. We're excited. We're looking at new girls. It's phase three of the Pussycat Dolls because we did our first album, our second album and now we're going on to our third. We're touring ... a lot is coming up." 

Miley Cyrus breaks O2 attendance record

Seventeen year old Miley Cyrus broke yet another record at the weekend with the largest ever attendance (for an end on stage) at the London 02 Arena.

16,196 crazed fans packed the venue to see the third of Miley's five sold out performances there.

Miley sold out ten UK dates for her Wonder World tour in just ten minutes and has traded California sunshine for the English winter to play dates across the country right up until the new year.

She now moves on to the Birmingham LG Arena for her next dates, before heading back to the London O2 for her final date on December 29th.

Michael Bublé tops resellers list

Viagogo has today released its 2009 live music statistics with some surprising results.

Tickets to see Michael Bublé have been the most traded in 2009 proving that this year has been the Canadian crooner’s most successful in Europe. Bublé may have been helped by making 2 appearances on this year’s X-Factor including a duet with Stacy Solomon on the final weekend which was seen by more than 17 million people. Tickets to U2’s tour were the second most traded, topping off a bumper year for the band which has seen them play in front of millions of people all over the world.

Whilst Michael Bublé topped the chart for the number of tickets resold, Robbie Williams topped the chart for the most expensive music ticket traded on viagogo in 2009. Tickets for his appearance at the Roundhouse for the Electric Proms were trading for up to a staggering £655 a ticket. Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus, had the second most expensive ticket of the year at £350, just over half the price of comeback king Robbie Williams.

This year has seen reality television dominate the headlines and as a result has driven huge numbers of concert goers to sites like www.viagogo.co.uk where fans can get tickets to see their favourite performers live in concert, even when they are sold out at the box office. viagogo has enabled its customers access to previously unobtainable concert tickets to see artists like Michael Bublé, Madonna, U2, and Lady Gaga, live in concert all over Europe.

Ed Parkinson, viagogo’s UK Director said, 'Live music has dominated the media this year and has reminded people how enjoyable watching live music is and it would seem that the recession has not kept fans at home. This has been viagogo’s most successful year to date and we are proud to have helped to connect the fans with their heroes, from U2 to Susan Boyle.'

1. Michael Bublé
2. U2

Cheryl Cole will never forgive Lily Allen for hurtful words

The Girls Aloud singer – who has famously clashed with the 'Not Fair’ songstress over the years – is not prepared to forgive and forget after the outspoken pop star made a series of 'awful' remarks.

Lily previously blasted Cheryl’s soccer star husband and labelled her flame-haired bandmate Nicola Roberts 'the ugly one' in the girl group.

Cheryl said: 'She called my husband 'horrendous’. Then she called Nicola 'ugly’. For another female artist to call you ugly is so awful.

'Nicola’s been called 'ginger’ all her life, then she makes something of herself and everyone calls her the 'ugly one’.'

For that reason, 'Fight for This Love’ singer Cheryl will never regret her previous comments which referred to Lily as a 'chick with a d**k'

She explained to Q magazine: 'I feel very protective of Nicola and if that means I’m going to call Lily 'whatever’, then I don’t care.'

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old singer has admitted she thinks some of Girls Aloud’s records are 'c**p'.

She said: 'I remember listening to 'Love Machine’ and thinking, 'We cannot put this c**p out.’ I said to the label, 'It sounds like something Busted would do.’ Then it went to number two in the charts. I was, like, 'Oh right. OK. I’ll keep quiet.’ 

JLS singer Aston Merrygold buys brother a car for Christmas

JLS singer Aston Merrygold has bought his younger brother a car for Christmas.

The pop star was delighted with the band’s success this year, as it meant he could splash out on lavish gifts for his family.

He said: 'I bought my little brother a Peugeot 207. It’s his first car because he’s just started driving. He’s 17, so I haven’t bought a really flash car. We’ve all treated our families this year.'

After a year which saw the group top the UK singles charts twice, the 'Beat Again’ hitmakers have pledged to build on their success for 2010.

Bandmate Marvin Humes said: 'We’ve had the best year any new artist could hope for and we just want to continue and be even better.'

Aston added: 'We’re going to do everything and anything we can to make it our year. We’re going to be really busy, but we’re having so much fun it doesn’t feel like work.'

Aston and Marvin are joined in JLS by Jonathan 'JB’ Gill and Oritse Williams.

Wonder Girls to release a Chinese album next year

The Wonder Girls, who are currently promoting in the U.S., are set to release an album in China early next year.

Wonder Girls have already been well-received by China - they were awarded the "Best Asian Artist of the Year" award at the MTV Style Gala 2009 and also held a concert in Shanghai, China on December 1st for their Chinese fans. Judging by the fancams, it was quite a spectacle.

On the 24th, a representative of JYP Entertainment informed MoneyToday StarNews, "Currently, Wonder Girls have finished recording the Chinese version of their songs. The official Chinese album is scheduled to be released early next year."

The JYPE representative added, "The other songs in their album have not been decided yet. However, their hit songs will have first priority."

A U.S. album slated for February 2010, a possible breakthrough in the U.K market (we hope, anyway), and now a Chinese album? At this rate, world domination looks very possible for the Wonder Girls. 

Big Bang and SNSD top the annual charts!

Boy group Big Bang and girl group SNSD topped the 2009Soribada charts under the category of "most searched"!

If you don't know, Soribada is the most used P2P music downloading program. In other words, it's the Korean version of Napster or Limewire. And from January 1 through December 23, the site monitors and logs all the key phrases and terms being searched to form a Top 10 List of the most searched artists. The data for the year has been reviewed and Soribada announced that Big Bang was the #1 most searched artist in 2009, which is quite surprising and amazing because they've spent a majority of their time in Japan rather than Korea.

Big Bang was searched about 415,000 times with Lee Seung Chul coming second at 386,000 searches. SNSD took third place with 257,000 searches, but what's more noteworthy is that their track Gee was the #1 most searched song.

Soribada expects Big Bang to win it again next year due to their comeback plans in Korea, but they say that girl groups may have trouble reaching the Top 10 in the new year due to many solo comebacks and debuts that are bound to amass a huge success. They said, "Next year, Lee Hyori will be finally releasing her album after 2 years and Jewelry's Park Jung Ah and Seon In Young are going solo so we're very eager for that."

What do you think guys, this year has been a parade of group comebacks and debuts, but will 2010 be the time for solo artists to steal the spotlight?

Lee Seung Gi’s “Like the First Time” at #1 right after release

Lee Seung Gi was quite successful with his fourth album that was released not long ago. Just like with all his past albums, he released a repackaged version with a new title song!

Lee's new song, Like the First Time, reached number 1 right when it came out on the Cyworld Real-time charts. Even with his excellence on acting and heodang (fool) persona on variety show 1 Night 2 Days, singing will always come first.

Like the First Time is produced by Kim Do Hoon, who also produced Will You Marry Me? in the summer. Netizens have been leaving positive comments, and the song is receiving explosive popularity. The song also features Davichi's Kang Min Kyung, who has a great voice.

The repackaged album will be on sale January 13th, 2010; I am expecting it to be as successful as the original album, which had 40,000 preorders.

2PM will perform a new song at SBS Gayo Daejun

For those of you who have been listening to 2PM's new album non-stop, there is good news awaiting. ThoughHeartbeat has been successful, 2PM will perform a new track off their newest album for the 2009 Gayo Daejun. This will be their first time performing this song since they only sang one song, Heartbeat, for their comeback performances.

Here's the bad news: We don't know which one. You'll have to wait and see! 

But we got more good news for not just 2PM fans. 2PM's Junsu, Kim Tae Woo, K.Will,and SHINee's Jonghyun will get together to perform a stage harmonized by their amazing voices.

Though this isn't 2PM related, the Big Bang brothers Taeyang and G-Dragon will have their solo stages. MBLAQ and BEAST will have a rival stage. And there's just so much more so just wait.

Sori & Dong Joon - Burning Down [Video Premiere]

After coming out with a teaser a few days ago, Sori andChild of Empire's Dongjoon have released their full music video for "Burning Down."

The video shows the two engaged in various activities such as posing for photo-shoots and recording in the studio. The song is pretty catchy and the pair have great voices.
