Katy Perry was unable to break Michael Jackson’s record of 5 #1 songs from a single album on the Billboard Hot 100 but thanks to her high profile performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards, she has found her way to the summit of chart in another respect. However, Perry wasn’t the only Pop star to [...]
After dominating the 2012 Grammy Awards with her historic 6 wins, many people thought that Adele’s journey with ’21′ had reached an impressive end. However, those persons might be shocked to discover that the British Soul singer had only just begun her reign. In fact, Adele’s ’21′ reached a new sales peak this week, exactly [...]
After an artist’s death, there is usually a sudden resurgence of public interest in that person’s music. That was exactly the case with Whitney Houston who rebounded into the top 10 of both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 as a result of massive sales increases.

Kelly Clarkson sang a beautiful rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ at Super Bowl XLVI last weekend and now she is reaping the benefits of her efforts. Indeed, US consumers have responded her to voice and awarded her the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.
