Baby Hungry Madonna

Sorry you couldn't get any new babies Madonna. Saw this on SNL a few weeks back and it makes me laugh harder than anything since "I Seen Beyonce at Burger King".


iTunes Watch
Palin Gives SNL, Adele A Major Boost


Saturday Night Live received it's highest ratings for viewers in 14 years this weekend with the highly anticipated visit of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Twenty year old British singer Adele was lucky enough to be the guest artist. Her album, 19 (she was 19 when it was released), has been wildly successful in her home country, reaching #1 in the album charts and being certified platinum. In the United States however, it hasn't gone as well. After being released in January, it rose as high as #44 on the Billboard 200 album chart but no higher.

What better way to boost sales and interest than performing on the Saturday Night Live with the highest viewership since figure skater Nancy Kerrigan (the one who was clubbed in the knee by Tonya Harding's ex-husband) and Aretha Franklin took the stage in 1994? After her performance, 19 shot up the iTunes top album list and by Sunday night she topped it.

Over on iTune's top songs chart, "Womanizer" reclaimed pole position after playing second fiddle to Taylor Swift's "Fearless". "Fearless" is apart of a countdown to Swift's new album, a tactic used earlier for the Jonas Brother's release, where several new songs are release in the weeks leading up to an album's release date. Although it will have a tough chance keeping #1 on the Hot 100 this week with T.I.'s massive airplay, "Womanizer" has a good shot at a good third week position with it's continued sales.

Adele "Chasing Pavements"
Are They Human Or Are They Spacemen?
Last night the Killers performed their new single "Human" (now available on iTunes) as well as premiered another new Day & Age track, "Spaceman"on Saturday Night Live. Brandon Flowers rocked a suit with feather shoulders and sans facial hair, he looked more like a missionary than anyone else in the band. His dance moves were lacking, but we love him nevertheless. Unfortunaltey, any and all clips of the SNL performance have been taken down, but at least we can enjoy a performance of "Spaceman" in New Jersey this summer and the Less Provacative Songs of Katy Perry.
