GaGa Explains The Idea Behind ‘Telephone’

0 Comments 12 March 2010

After some explaining, I am still left a little confused as to what the story behind GaGa’s latest eye popping music video, BUT regardless I still loved it.  The director did a great job shooting a vivid, Quentin Taratino like music video that runs just under ten minutes.   See what GaGa has to say!

British Star Taio Cruz Has #1 Song In US

0 Comments 11 March 2010

Cruz’s “Break Your Heart,” featuring rapper Ludacris, soared 52 places to the top, a new record for the largest jump to the top by an act with its first charting single.

The old record was held by inaugural “American Idol” champ Kelly Clarkson’s victory song, “A Moment Like This,” which flew 51 places to the top in September 2002.

“Break Your Heart” replaces the Black Eyed Peas’ “Imma Be” which slid to No. 5 after a two-week stay at the top. It also gives Ludacris his second entry in the top 10, as “How Low” fell three places to No. 10.

If not for Cruz’s incredible rise, Lady Antebellum would have been celebrating its first Hot 100 No. 1. But, the country trio’s “Need You Now” had to settle for the runner-up slot after swapping places with Young Money’s “BedRock” at No. 3.

Next week’s Hot 100 is shaping up as a tough battle. An expected slip in sales for Cruz could open the door for either Lady Antebellum to slip into No. 1 or allow Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” (up four to No. 4) to continue its quick ascension.

Ke$ha’s former No. 1 “TiK ToK” fell two to No. 6, while Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” slipped one to No. 7. Jason Derulo rose two to No. 8 with “In My Head,” one of three tracks he places on the Hot 100. He also debuted at No. 33 with “Ridin’ Solo” and fell seven places to No. 42 with former chart-topper “Whatcha Say.” Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” fell four to No. 9.

Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber claimed the chart’s Hot Shot Debut as “Never Let You Go,” the second preview single for his forthcoming “My World 2.0″ (due March 23) entered at No. 21. The track joins first single “Baby” (No. 14) on the list.

Other debuts included Usher’s “Lil Freak,” featuring Nicki Minaj, at No. 43, Avril Lavigne’ “Alice” (No. 71), “Ain’t Back Yet” by Kenny Chesney (No. 73) and Godsmack’s “Cryin’ Like A Bitch” (No. 74).

Verizon Promoting The MiFi iPad?

0 Comments 10 March 2010

Though the iPad is only compatible with AT&T’s 3G network in the U.S., that hasn’t stopped Verizon from telling its employees to pitch its own data plans, shared via Wi-Fi, to prospective buyers of Apple’s new hardware.

Calling the nation’s largest wireless provider an “eternal optimist,” Engadget obtained a copy of an internal memo from Verizon, which calls the impending launch of the iPad an “opportunity” for the carrier to court new customers. Verizon salespeople could convince customers to buy a Wi-Fi-only version of the iPad and connect it to the Verizon 3G network with a device like the MiFi.

The company memo notes that the 3G-compatible iPad costs an extra $130, and claims the device will not be directly sold by AT&T. Since sales, customer service and billing will all be through Apple, Verizon believes it could convince some customers to use its data plans instead.

“Why pay more for the 3G version & get 3G service on an overloaded network with limited coverage?” the memo reads.

But a Verizon customer using the MiFi device to tether to its 3G network would pay about $60 per month for a 5GB data-only plan, a rate much higher than the $29.99 unlimited offered without contract by AT&T. And at Verizon’s price, a data-only plan would exceed the $130 premium for 3G connectivity in just a matter of months.

Prior to the iPad’s unveiling, rumors persisted for months that Verizon was a potential partner for data on the device. However, it is rumored that AT&T outbid Verizon by offering cheaper data plans without contract. AT&T’s iPad plans will also offer free access to AT&T’s nationwide hotspots.
