Correction: Emily Osment All the Right Wrongs
Charting second week on
Billboard Top 200

Would like to publicly apologize. Previously reported Emily Osment's All the Right Wrongs had not charted on Billboard. It is in its second week, topping at 117 on the charts, this week 168.
When searching Osment on Billboard, it says (also, no listing of All the Right Wrongs when you search it on Billboard),
Live Dates
No events scheduled.Upcoming Releases

no matches found
Searching the charts, there is no photo of the CD, so I missed it two weeks in a row. Wishing Osment success as great as her voice.
Also found this review on Billboard:
After flirting with teen pop on her early recordings, Emily Osment underwent a rock & roll makeover for her debut EP, All the Right Wrongs. Songwriting sessions with Eve 6 and Plain White T's yielded enough punky fodder for this six-track disc, which still bears traces of Disney-approved pop but also features songs like "You Are the Only One." A spunky, '80s-styled ode to adolescent love that features Osment's rawest vocal to date, "You Are the Only One" proves that Osment may eventually eclipse her Disney peers, provided she has more songs like this in her arsenal. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

Torn between Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond
Never watched Dancing with the Stars
Tough choice
Truth in blogging. I have watched Dancing with the Stars. Miley Cyrus was on it, Demi Lovato was on it, Selena Gomez fell in love on it. Saw all of them on YouTube, so is that watching Dancing with the stars?
Just found out two of the four finalists are Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond.
Fell in love with Kelly Osbourne's voice from the very first note of her Shut Up CD, later renamed Changes. She was Tween Music before the genre existed.
I loved Donny for being the first guy to show his pubic hair on the cover of Rolling Stone. Wait, that was David Cassidy. I've always gotten them confused. Way back in the '70s Alice Cooper sang Department of Youth from Welcome to My Nightmare. Live he would sing, We've got the power, and who gave it to you - Donnie (yes, it was Donnie, not Donny back then - remember Donnie & Marie?) Osmond, Donnie Osmond.

Taylor Swift youngest winner
CMA Entertainer of the Year
Why wait for tonight. We all know who's going to be named CMA entertainer of the year. Ironic ABC Television has this awards show and six months from now we have the ACM Awards. Disney knows how to make $$$$, pitch those country music awards shows.
Would bet Swift would take home the female vocalist award, but ABC is smart. Need to cover the baby-boomer audience, so most likely will go to Reba McEntire or Carrie Underwood. Personally, I vote for Selena Gomez! Aly & AJ would have won, but haven't heard from them musically since that newly discovered African dinosaur roamed the earth.
Also predicting Swift's Fearless gets album of the year. Could also go to Sugarland. Anyone else is a shill.
Start a Band by Brad Paisley with Keith Urban has a shot at beating Swift's Love Story for video of the year. Wait, who are we kidding? This is ABC awards where $$$$ rules - Swift! Beyonce if Kanye West is judging.
What, 15 didn't get nominated for song of the year? Swift not in that category?
-----------------
8 p.m. update - Album of the year - Fearless!
8:30 p.m. update - Video of the year, no, not Beyonce, Love Story.
9:15 p.m. - Marketing $ociologist correct again - Taylor Swift CMA entertainer of the year!

Taylor Swift taking lessons from
Selena Gomez?
That's a really great band Taylor Swift's left hand stole the show from. Did she take lessons from Selena Gomez on how to make love to cameras?

Bandslam DVD sets release date
Known as one of the losers of 2009, the Bandslam movie will be released on DVD Dec. 7 according to Wikipedia.I enjoyed the movie. It has grossed $10-million worldwide in theater distribution. That's better than what I made this year, so I wouldn't call it a failure.
The fault may be how it was marketed. It is quite an intellectual film in the Terms of Endearment genre. Yet it was marketed as a teen romance film and coming of age.
Tour, Tour, Tour
Taylor Swift jumps to #3 on Billboard charts

On Tween Marketing, there's a series on Building the Band Brand: Becoming famous in the 21st Century where I advocate tour, tour, tour for bands and musicians.
Taylor Swift put her 2010 tickets on sale, sold out in minutes, and her Fearless CD jumped four positions and is identified this week as a Billboard Sales Gainer.
There's a lesson there. Can you figure it out?
