Sorry Kim!

While both Kim Kardashian's Jam (Turn It Up) and Paris Hilton's 2006 debut single Stars Are Blind are both special in their own way, it looks like Paris' single was able to turn it up with listeners more than Kim's.

Within its first five days in release, Kim's single sold 14,000 downloads, which didn't quite bring her to the "75-position Digital Songs chart."

Paris Hilton's debut single back in '06 sold 53,000 downloads in its first week, and landed the #10 spot on the Digital Songs chart, as well as a #18 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Don't worry about it, Kim! We were still VERY impressed with your single. As we said before, it was catchy, vocals were nice, and it wasn't TOO autotuned!

Which single do U like better? Kim's Jam (Turn It Up) or Paris' Stars Are Blind?

Wow!

He must want to ensure that he hits the ground running!

Although it's already been reported that Piers Morgan will be premiering his new CNN show - taking over for Larry King - on January 17th with Oprah Winfrey as his first guest, we're now hearing that the he's got some pretty awesome people following the Big O during his first week on air in the States!

Expect to see Howard Stern, Condoleeza Rice, Ricky Gervais, and George Clooney appearing the week's subsequent episodes!

Amazing! Lots of variety!

Well-played, sir! We're very curious to see how viewers will respond!

Thoughts??

Innerested in supporting your favorite artists, but low on cash? Now you'll be able to do it without shelling out $9.99 for their new albums!

Today, Billboard launches the Social 50, which is a chart that measures an artist's popularity based on activity on social networks.

The chart will be released weekly, and rankings will be influenced by friends, fans, and followers on social networking sites, as well as artist page views, weekly song plays, and measurement of the ratio of page views to fans.

Artists on the debut version of the chart include Rihanna in the #1 spot, followed by Eminem, Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, Nicki Minaj, Ke$ha, and Katy Perry as well.

The Biebs and GaGa, eh? Could WE perhaps be having an influence on this chart? LOLs.

Here's what Billboard Editorial Director Bill Werde had to say about the new chart:

“We continue to adapt the way we chart the changing landscape of music. The Social 50 is yet another step in the evolution of Billboard and an important response to our changing times.”

We'll be innerested to see who makes the cut after the chart's first week in operation.

Rihanna must be happy to see herself in the top spot! Nice little consolation prize after the weak debut of her new album.

Will U follow Billboard's Social 50 chart?
