Taylor Swift breaking records
Makes nearly $40-million in one year
Forbes reports $16-million
Forbes listed Miley Cyrus' wages last year as $25-million, same as the Jonas Brothers, when she actually made well in excess of $100-million.
History repeats itself. Forbes listed Taylor Swift at $16-million. Here's a woman who has sold in excess of 8-million CDs. So, if you include only CD sales, Forbes hit it on the head. Doesn't include magazines, publishing rights, concerts. Forbes might want to look into those little things that add to an artist's revenue, pushing Swift close to the $40-million mark.
Swift is within striking distance of having her debut album spend the longest time on the Billboard 200 than any act since 1997, when charts criteria were changed. She's a week or two away from topping Shania Twain's record of top country female on the longevity trail.
Yet Forbes reports only $16-million. What about that little concert tour? Miley Cyrus is grossing $90-million on 45 dates, but will probably only net $25-million (I didn't know how elaborate that stage was). Swift had at least 55 dates. Once more, where does Forbes get its information?

Miley Cyrus in concert
Was that a half-hour infomercial for Last Song movie?
I can see The Rolling Stones including a infomercial in their concerts for Martin Scorsese's Shine the Light. That didn't happen, did it?

Miley Cyrus making $2-million

Deja Vu all over again

Britney Spears concert duels with Miley Cyrus
Which one will draw more fans in the West?
Ms. Cyrus comes into the Staples Center on Tuesday. Britney follows the next night, on the 23rd. That night Miley will hold court in Anaheim at the Honda Center.
Miley plays Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center Saturday night. Britney plays Mandalay Bay the same night, plus Sunday night.
Which of the divas will win the bigger crowd in Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Box office total is unfair since Britney's tickets are almost three times of Miley's cost.
Emily Osment songs you won’t hear
On new EP All The Right Wrongs
Emily Osment steered clear of Disney and Hollywood records, choosing Wind-Up for her label. Maybe not a great choice, but the days of a record label behind you are long gone (see Building the Band Brand: Becoming famous in 21st Century at TweenMarketing.blogspot.com). You need your own publicist and handle your own career.
The thing that bothers me is she went for an EP (extended play) rather than a full CD. This killed even Miley Cyrus on The Time of Our Lives, which languished at #3 on the Billboard charts instead of going to #1.
Yes, I do believe Osment is one of the greatest new Hollywood stars, and they all seem to be coming out of Disney. Look at the video with Mitchell Musso or Hero In Me. No indication she’d turn into the Hollywood Hottie she is today. Same with Alyson Michalka (here). Believe Osment will be the second decade of 21st Century equivalent to Heather Locklear or Molly Ringwald; 21st Century Liz Taylor or Bridgette Bardot?
By the way, Amazon is smartly offering All the Right (should be Wright) Wrongs for $5.98, more accurate pricing than The Time of Our Lives $8.

Darn. Miley Cyrus gives up attempt to kill audience in Oakland
NOW she starts listening to Marketing Sociologist
I was waiting for the headlines, Miley Cyrus motorcycle cable breaks, killing fans. Darn - why you listening to me now, Miley? Hell, it's been about a day since any Hollywood stars have croaked. When they have the awards banquets with all the stars that died in 2009, it will last until the next morning. We could have included all the Miley fans dieing at the hands of a runaway Harley.
Have a feeling it wasn't my advice (I am told she follows this blog), but the arena couldn't facilitate the cable rig - we can hope. Maybe that Harley will fall in Glendale on Friday. Will Jordin Sparks be under the Harley in her hometown? Good planning on eliminating the competition, Miley!
Six days until it's party with Miley Cyrus in the U.S.A.
