Excellent! All that extra-terrestrial luurve-making must have really gotten people going!

Katy Perry's new single with Kanye West, E.T., has hit the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, having sold another 327,0000 downloads and up 29 spots, in light of the music video's premiere last week!

Not bad at all, gurl! Keep up the good werk!

We wonder if she's planning on releasing anymore tracks from the album as singles?

Peacock? Maybe? Please?!

Just saying!

Looks like Usher and Ke$ha were a digital force to be reckoned with last week!

During the week ending on Mar 6, Usher managed to surpass the 4 million mark with his song OMG, which features will.i.am. This is the first song of Usher's to reach that number.

Previously, he surpassed 3 million downloads with 2004's Yeah!

Wowsa! Congrats Usher! Keep it up!

Ke$ha's We R Who We R also hit a milestone last week, by surpassing 3 million downloads in only its 19th week in release!

Very impressive, considering her big breakthrough hit TiK ToK reached the 3 million mark at 18 weeks in release.

Great job, Usher and Ke$ha! Way to show iTunes who's boss! Ha!

Did U contribute to Usher or Ke$ha's accomplishment by downloading their hit singles?

Not surprising. We know our favorites made the list!

With Glee up for two Grammys in two weeks, The Hollywood Reporter went ahead and listed the top 5 biggest selling Glee renditions to date. And they are:

# 1 Don't Stop Believin' - 1.1 million downloads
# 2 Forget You - 466,000
# 3 Teenage Dream - 407,000
# 4 Halo/Walking On Sunshine - 332,000
# 5 Somebody To Love - 331,000

We actually thought Don't Stop sold a lot more than that, but the numbers are still very impressive.

Wonder how well Thriller/Heads Will Roll will fair come this weekend!

And to think…she lives on an allowance of only $450 a week!

According to Cliff Dane of Britain's Sunday Times Rich List, Susan Boyle is worth about $16.5 million.

Here's what Dane had to say about it:

“Unlike a lot of artists who write songs and have heavy touring commitments, most of Susan’s income has come from old-fashioned record sales, mostly CDs as opposed to downloads due to the nature of her fanbase. I estimate she is currently worth $16.5 million based on royalties and advances accumulated to date.”

We're glad to hear it, SuBo!

We're proud of you, and we wish you the best with your continued success, bb!

The future looks bleak for all those who would rather download their music for free on the Internet illegally than pay iTunes $1.29 per song.

After Thanksgiving, a bill that will give the Justice Department the power to take down illegally offered copyrighted content for sale, download, or streaming, will go to the Senate for a full vote.

This new bill, the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, allows federal officials to get to work on shutting down any and all websites they deem illegally distributing music and other copyrighted materials.

As you can imagine, La La Land is thrilled to be getting their money back from all the consumers who've been cheating them all this time. SAG and the DGA even issued a joint-statement in support of the bill, saying:

“We believe today’s committee action is the first step in making it much more difficult for rogue site operators to run their sites with impunity.”

Uh-huh. Ever heard of the old saying, "where there's a will, there's a way?" We think the government underestimates the average American's overpowering inclination to not pay for stuff.

But still, this could affect a lot of your favorite websites, which is a bummer.

What are your thoughts about this new bill?

WOW! This is HUGE!

According to the Billboard Charts, Darren Criss' AMAZING cover of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream on Glee this week is expected to sell from 150,000 to 175,000 downloads on iTunes, which would make it the single-best sales week for a single from the series - even better than the current number one - Don't Stop Believin' by Journey!

Holy shiz!

Amazing!

If Criss weren't secured a regular spot already, he'll DEFINITELY be getting one now!

Congratulations, bb!

And if you haven't already watched it a hundred times already - like us - then check out the performance (above)!

Thoughts??
