Carrie Underwood Is Releasing Her Greatest Hits Album On December 9

It appears that Carrie Underwood will be releasing her greatest hits album on December 9 instead of her fifth album. Taylor Swift did release her fifth album 1989 before Carrie Underwood released her fifth album. Gee, I wonder why. Oh yeah, it appears that Carrie Underwood will have to work on her fifth album after she is getting her first child. That's right, Carrie Underwood is pregnant. So she will have to release her greatest hits album instead of her fifth album because she is expecting to release her first child. That's a smart move. Heh, Carrie? Anyway, let's talk about her greatest hits album called Greatest Hits: Decade #1.

Greatest Hits: Decade #1 is a compilation album by American country music artist Carrie Underwood. It will be released on December 9, 2014, by Arista Nashville. The album will include her first twenty singles from Inside Your Heaven in 2005 to See You Again in 2013. Here’s the tracklist for Greatest Hits: Decade #1.

Disc 1
1. Something in the Water
2. Little Toy Guns
3. Inside Your Heaven
4. Jesus Take the Wheel
5. Don't Forget to Remember Me
6. Before He Cheats
7. Wasted
8. So Small
9. All-American Girl
10. Last Name
11. Just a Dream
12. I Told You So

Disc 2

11. So Small (Songwriting Sessions Worktape)
12. Last Name (Songwriting Sessions Worktape)
13. Mama's Song" (Songwriting Sessions Worktape)

It's too bad Some Hearts and Ever Ever After is not in this list but the tracklist do realize that there will be 2 new Carrie Underwood songs, Something in the Water and Little Toy Guns. Also, it appears that Something in the Water was released as the first single from the compilation. So let’s check out Something in the Water. Shall we?

Something in the Water is a song by American country music artist Carrie Underwood, from her first greatest hits album, Greatest Hits: Decade #1. The song was released on September 29, 2014, as the album's lead single through Sony Music Nashville. It is a Christian and country song that is written by Carrie Underwood, Chris DeStefano, Brett James and produced by Mark Bright.

An instant crossover success, Something in the Water debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart and rose to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in its second week. It set and broke multiple airplay records on Country radio in its first week. It also debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song received acclaim from music critics. Website Saving Country Music gave Something in the Water a very favorable review, rating the song 1 3/4 Guns Up and writing it "will also be jeered as pure pop by many, but even with this assessment it still puts it in front of the garbled, directionless multi-genre hodgepodge presented by many of the genre’s top male stars".

It appears that Something in the Water is country. What? First of all, it's a pop Christian song not a country song. Second of all, this song is not country, it's pop with a touch of Christian music. Something in the Water would've done better if it's a Christian pop song rather than a country song with Christian. Christian and country don't work together. If Carrie Underwood songs are pop with a touch of Christian, then it would've done a better job classifying Carrie Underwood as a Christian pop singer, not a country singer. She is not country. She is pop Christian. Something in the Water is very lucky since the song was mentioned on Fuse and the song was played on radio that isn't country which is Christian radio. If Carrie Underwood is releasing her Something in the Water music video, then that music video better be played on MTV/VH1/Fuse. The music video can air on CMT but it better be shown on MTV because MTV needs to pay attention to Carrie Underwood. Not CMT, MTV. Plus, MTV Hits manage to air music videos for All-American Girl and Two Black Cadillacs. This is mainstream music and Carrie Underwood is suppose to be mainstream. Not country, mainstream. That's what you'll be working on.

Oh, I gotta tell you something about Carrie Underwood. It seems that Carrie Underwood will host at the 2014 CMA with Brad Paisley when it aired on ABC on November 5 at 8pm. So were all exciting to see Carrie Underwood on CMA when November 5 is right around the corner. Well best of luck, Carrie Underwood.

OK, Carrie Underwood will be getting her first child by spring 2015 and then she will be working on her fifth album. It appears that Carrie Underwood's fifth album will be released after Taylor Swift's fifth album. Taylor Swift has moved to pop. So how about Carrie Underwood moved to pop too and have Carrie Underwood to work on her first pop album and her pop music will adopt the style of Christian rock music. Her newly shifted pop music with the touch of Christian music will not play on country radio and it will only play on pop radio and Christian radio at the same time. Taylor Swift did a good job not playing her pop music on country radio and only play on pop radio thanks to Shake It Off. So Carrie Underwood will expected to do the same thing Carrie Underwood did except with Christian rather than 80s pop which Taylor Swift adopted for her own pop music on her fifth album, 1989.

So for my fifth album idea. It will be Carrie Underwood's first pop album rather than making more country music and have Carrie Underwood's pop music will adopt the style of Christian rock music. Also, have Carrie Underwood's Christian pop music to be produced by Max Martin and Shellback and feature a few artists like Demi Lovato. It's still gonna be made by Arista Nashville because Christian music happens to be made in Nashville. So a pop Christian album would might work. Duh. The release date will be 2016 after the tenth anniversary of her debut album, Some Hearts. Carrie Underwood's fifth album will be released 11 years after her career debut in 2005 just like Avril Lavigne released her own fifth album 11 years after her career debut in 2002. Lol.

I want that to happen because Carrie Underwood needs to make her debut pop album with the touch of Christian rock music after Carrie Underwood released her greatest hits album on December 9 and having her first child during spring 2015. Then Carrie Underwood will be working on her country music-less fifth album. I want that to happen one day.

Make it happen, Carrie Underwood.

Is It Me Or I Think Taylor Swift Is A Sellout Artist Now That 1989 Is Sold Out In Stores?

Hello, everyone. I hope you enjoy buying a copy of Taylor Swift’s fifth album, 1989. Now then, I’ll be talking about Taylor Swift’s 1989 launch in stores and for download.

As you may know that Taylor Swift is now a sellout artist rather than an artist who is the bestselling singer-songwriting. It appears that 1989 was sold out in many stores like Target and Best Buy. I guess Taylor Swift is going mainstream rather than people are looking forward to get a Taylor Swift album and people love that new album. You know what’s ugly? 1989 is sold out on ITunes too. Lol. Good one, ITunes.

Anyway, it looks like Taylor Swift is making a lot of pop music over a crossover artist for both country and pop just to make a lot of money. But don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of Taylor Swift and I loved Taylor Swift’s first three albums. I become a Swiftie 2 years ago by the time her fourth album, Red launched in 2012 selling 1.2 million copies in the US during its first week. Plus, her music videos is incredible. The music videos were more akin to real life over the music videos that goes by repeats and money like I’m feeling sexy and twerking. So I’ll take Taylor Swift music videos like We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together music video over music videos that goes by sex/money like Nicki Minaj music videos and repeat music videos like Miley Cyrus twerking. Let’s not forget that Taylor Swift is hot. I mean, look how hot she it. No matter she’s hot. Let’s continue.

So it appears that 1989 is sold out in many stores 2 days in a row. No other album does that. Sounds reasonable. Don’t you think?

1989 was lucky however, it got a rating of 75 at Metacritic based on 18 reviews and according to Billboard, 1989 will be heading for 1 million sales debut. This will make the first singer to have an album sold more than 1 million copies in the first week 3 million-selling debuts in a row. Plus: 1989 will be the first 2014 to sell a million copies. So it looks like Taylor Swift’s 1989 just keeps getting bigger. So with 1989’s huge sales throughout 2014, Taylor Swift will be leaving country for good since 1989 will not include country music. And, Taylor Swift will be play her country hits that weren’t played on pop radio like Begin Again on pop radio. That means, Taylor Swift can now play her first song Tim McGraw, the single that came out in 2006, on pop music stations without the need of country music. Pop music can enjoy listening to Taylor Swift’s country hits like Ours. With Taylor Swift moving to pop, she can now retire her country music career at the age of 24 making it the youngest country star to retire the country music career. Smart call, Taylor Swift. Next up, Taylor Swift marathon on MTV this holiday season.

Now with 1989 becoming the only huge success in 2014, this would be a good time to evolve music and switched over to streaming, internet like Vevo, music videos (including Taylor Swift music videos), and, wait for it, advertising albums. That’s right, advertising albums. 90s and early 2000s like 1996 and 2002 got it right. So Taylor Swift should do the same thing 90s and early 2000s like 2003 did. That’s crazy, I mean 1990-2003 was a great time for 90s and early 2000s music. After that, the music died out in 2004 because music started to get more mainstream and started to act like money and soundfonts in the same year. Good thing country music after 2003 like Miranda Lambert will finally gets some attention from 2004-today so that way country music like Brad Paisley gets to be part of the entire popular music industry since 2006.

Why music needs advertising over general public? Because music needs to evolve and not going by mainstream/top 40/radio/tours. We want music videos/internet like Vevo/streaming music like Spotify/advertising albums/MTV playing music videos. Good thing Fuse and MTV Hits do go by music videos like Katy Perry music videos. Trust me, no more radio, tours, running gags like Justin Bieber, repeats like sexy music videos or all that junk like overplaying same songs on the radio. We want music in general like Avril Lavigne and Nelly Furtado. Not radio or sellouts or all that stupidity like Miley Cyrus. We want music that many people enjoy and for future generations to come like Christina Aguilera and Carrie Underwood. That’s why.

Oh yeah, it appears that 1989 will be up for sale for 99 cents on Microsoft’s new Music Deals app. That way, 1989 isn’t available on steaming sites like Spotify. Lol. Good one, Microsoft.

I almost forgot, Big Machine Records will be going up for sale yesterday. According to Scott Borchetta, he will be selling Big Machine Records in favor for Taylor Swift to make more pop music and tackling new genres later on like rock. So how about Universal Music Group since Universal Music Group will buy Big Machine Records so that way Big Machine Records will be part of Universal Music Group. Once Universal purchase Big Machine Records, Universal Music Group will get rid of country music off of Big Machine Records, keep Taylor Swift but others has to go and turn all Taylor Swift songs including her country songs into pop songs. Let's not forget Big Machine Records will turn all Taylor Swift albums into pop albums causing Big Machine Records to become a pop label rather than an indie country label in Nashville. Trust me, we need a pop label in Nashville. Big Machine Records can even hire poorly marketed artists like Avril Lavigne, troubled popular artists like Chirstina Aguilera and artists that should've got more attention like Nelly Furtado. If an artist is having a tough time getting their music go strong, you can count on Big Machine Records. Big Machine Records is here to help. That would be something that Universal Music Group and Big Machine Records will look forward too when Universal Music Group purchase Big Machine Records due to the success of 1989.

OK, that’s it for my humble opinion on this entire article. 1989 is now available in stores and for download on ITunes and Google Play. I hope you enjoying listening to 1989. If you haven’t own a copy, now is the time do but that album. I will see you next time. Peace out.

Taylor Swift Is No Longer Country And All Her Country Songs Are Now Pop Music Thanks To 1989 (PM's Music World's Review Of 1989)

Hello everyone. Well, it's finally here. Taylor Swift's fifth album, 1989 is finally here. And you know what that means, it's time for a full review of 1989. Now, here's our review of 1989. I hope you enjoy it.

Taylor Swift has been around for 8 years since her debut in 2006 and she is going strong. In fact, it was Big Machine's only pop star ever in existence. Now, i'f something pop music should be Big Machine's label instead of country in Nashville. Let's not forget Speak Now and Red sold more than 1 million copies in the US on its first week. Today, Taylor Swift's fifth album, 1989 will be Taylor Swift's first pop album. It is also Big Machine's first pop album. That's right, 1989 is Taylor Swift's first pop album and the first pop album released by Big Machine Records.

Now, here's what critics has to say about 1989:

"Deeply weird, feverishly emotional, wildly enthusiastic, '1989' sounds exactly like Taylor Swift, even when it sounds like nothing she's ever tried before. And yes, she takes it to extremes. Are you surprised? This is Taylor Swift, remember? Extremes are where she starts out." -- Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone.

"Executive-produced by Swift and [Max] Martin, two of the all-time biggest hitmakers, the LP could have been an overstuffed Frankenstein of battling ideas. But instead it's Swift's best work -- a sophisticated pop tour de force that deserves to be as popular commercially as with Robyn-worshipping bloggers; an album that finds Swift meeting Katy and Miley and Pink on their home turf and staring them down." -- Jem Aswad, Billboard.

"At her best (2010's ''Dear John,'' 2012's ''All Too Well''), she's the most vivid songwriter of her generation, able to summon the storm clouds of every heartbreak you've ever had with one couplet and then sweep them away with another. But too often on '1989'she's trying to win at somebody else's game, whittling her words down to generic love stuff over flowy synthesizers." -- Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly.

"Swift's fifth record is a bold, gossipy confection that plays to her strengths -- strengths which pretty much define modern pop, with its obsession with the private lives of celebrities and its premium on heightened emotion. The album's one failing? There's no obvious single here as unequivocally great as 'I Knew You Were Trouble.'" -- Kitty Empire, The Guardian.

"The era of pop she channels here was a collision of sleaze and romanticism, of the human and the digital. But there's barely any loucheness in Ms. Swift's voice. Her take on that sound is sandpapered flat and polished to a sheen." -- Jon Caramanica, The New York Times.

"Swift's genius -- or part of it, anyway -- has been to turn the same mix of unabashed neediness and cunning that can make her tough to defend as a celebrity into rock-solid musical assets. On '1989,' she matches deceptively simple, irresistibly catchy melodies with lyrics that can seem by turns confessional and elusive, playful and aching." -- Elysa Gardner, USA Today.

"As long as Swift writes autobiographically, her romantic affairs will be the subject of speculation, but it's the expertly crafted sound of '1989' that marks her most impressive sleight of hand yet -- shifting the focus away from her past and onto her music, which is as smart and confident as it's ever been. Who are these songs about? When they sound this good, who cares?" -- Sam Lansky, Time.

Tell us: What do you think of Taylor Swift's "1989"? We do. Even MTV loved it.

Anyway, off to my review of 1989. Now, as you may know that 1989 is a big hit for Taylor Swift and pop music and with 1989 becoming Taylor Swift's pop album, it looks like Taylor Swift will be leaving country for good. That means, Taylor Swift can no longer play her country music on country radio. Keep in mind that her pop music will only play on pop radio, crossover hits for both country and pop like Love Story aside. But, 1989 will not have any country music. Only pop music as Taylor Swift mentioned.

Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Records, told Rolling Stone: "Taylor fans are going to love it. Will country stations play a complete pop song just because it's her? No. But when she comes to town, her friends at country radio will come and see her."

There you go. You don't need country radio to play Taylor Swift's pop songs. Country radio is for Taylor Swift's country music. But unfortunately, all her country songs including her country songs that weren't played on pop radio are pop songs on Vevo. So, will pop stations play a complete country song just because it's Taylor Swift? Yes, of course it can. All Taylor Swift's country songs like Tim McGraw and White Horse can work well on pop radio. Now, let's continue.

Since 2008, Taylor Swift gets to do pop music too starting with her first true pop song, Change. That came out in 2008 after her first crossover song, Teardrops On My Guitar was played on pop radio in 2007. Following Change, we have The Story Of Us, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Boo!), I Knew You Were Trouble, Taylor Swift's most play song on the radio with more than 200 million airplays, the underrated fan favorite pop hit, 22, Everything Has Changed with Ed Sheeran and a UK only single, The Last Time. After her fourth album, Red sold more than 1.2 million copies in the US during its first week in the US, it's time for Taylor Swift's pop music to have a Taylor Swift album all to themselves and 1989 is born. 1989 is amazing. It's the first Taylor Swift album to not have any country music at all which means all Taylor Swift's country songs like Sparks Fly and Begin Again can now join pop music stations like Fuse. With Taylor Swift now bringing her country music to the pop world, she will no longer make country music and she will no longer appear on country music stations. Vevo was lucky since all Taylor Swift songs were categorized pop on Vevo. That includes Tim McGraw's number 1 country song, Highway Don't Care which Taylor Swift was featured. So a Taylor Swift MTV marathon will do the trick.

OK, that's just my humble opinion. I want social media and physical broadcasts to collaborate with each other now that Taylor Swift is no longer country and she is now pop. So it's perfect for Taylor Swift music videos. We want all Taylor Swift music videos on mainstream music channels like MTV, not channels in general like CMT. We want Taylor Swift's country music videos like Mean music video on MTV/VH1/Fuse. It needs to happen. Trust me, all Taylor Swift's country songs needs to be pop songs. Now then, let's review 1989. To start things off, guess who's producing 1989? That's right, Max Martin and Shellback. Max Martin and Shellback who produced We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Boo!), I Knew You Were Trouble, and 22 also worked on 1989 and 1989's tracks like Shake It Off. Jack Antonoff and Ryan Tedder have also worked on 1989.

So first things off is her lead song called Welcome To New York (Boo!). Welcome to New York is the album's opening track that was released as the second countdown single on October 20, 2014. It is a synthpop song written by Taylor Swift alongside Ryan Tedder and produced by Taylor Swift, Ryan Tedder and Noel Zancanella. Welcome To New York is inspired by Taylor Swift visting New York as she sang her country song, Mean, "Someday I'll be living in a big old city". Mean inspired that. By the way, Mean should've done better if this Taylor Swift country song should be played on pop radio, not country radio. This is why all Taylor Swift's country songs like Picture To Burn should be pop, not country, pop. Let's continue.

Unfortunately, Welcome To New York is a mediocre lead song that rely on copy and paste pop anthem and a lazy New York anthem. Stay away from Welcome To New York.

Her second track, Blank Space is without a doubt the best Taylor Swift song in this album and resembles a 1999 song like Backstreet Boys's I Want It That Way. This is the Taylor Swift we’ve been waiting for. So I was expecting to have this song to have a music for for later in 2015. So Black Space can make a great post album launch single or a late 1989 single.

After Blank Space, there's Style which you'll hear on a Target commercial and later, Out Of The Woods. Out of the Woods is a lead countdown single from the album on October 14, 2014 in order to promote the album. It is a synthpop song written by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff and produced by Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift, and Max Martin. Out Of The Woods would be perfect for a music video later on. So I was thinking about a music video for Out Of The Woods directed by Trey Fanjoy.

After All You Had To Do Was Stay, we have Taylor Swift's hilarious lead single, Shake It Off. Shake It Off is a lead single released on August 18, 2014. Shake It Off debuts at number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Other great songs include I WIsh You Would, Bad Blood, Wildest Dreams, How You Get The Girl, This Love, I Know Places and Clean. Bad Blood will be her angriest track to date. And guess who's Bad Blood is about? That's right, Katy Perry. Bad Blood is about Katy Perry. We definitely want the pop-rock Bad Blood to be a single and have a music video there. So a music video that is directed by Trey Fanjoy (or something cheaper) for Bad Blood will do the trick.

This Love is the only song to be written by Taylor Swift herself and it's the only song in the album produced by Nathan Chapman. It is a mature anthem ballad about Lorde.

Clean is the only collabo song since Taylor Swift will be teaming up with Imogen Heap. That's right. Taylor Swift and Imogen Heap written and produced Clean together.

Overall, 1989 is definitely the album that Taylor Swift fans old and new alike have all been dreaming of. This is where Taylor Swift has joined pop music and she will not be coming back to country forever. With a touch of late 80s pop music mixed with modern pop songs and Taylor Swift's emotions, 1989 is the reason why all Taylor Swift's country songs are pop rather than country. So pick one up right now. What are you waiting for? Get 1989. You will love this album.

Good:
Taylor Swift's first pop album
The first Taylor Swift album with no country music
Out Of The Woods
Taylor Swift's hilarious lead single, Shake It Off
Max Martin and Shellback returns
Ryan Tedder and Jack Anonoff produced this album
Bad Blood is about Katy Perry
This Love is about Lorde
Nathan Chapman is back

Bad:
Welcome To New York
Only 2 ballads
More than half of songs are mostly anthems rather than emotions

Rating: 9/10

With 1989 becoming a huge success for Taylor Swift and pop music, Taylor Swift will no longer make country music and Taylor Swift is no longer country. She will only make pop music starting with this album and all her country songs that you won't find on pop radio has now joined pop radio. Taylor Swift is 100% pop and 0% country. That includes her country songs like Tim McGraw's Highway Don't Care. Let's hope music needs to move on to marketing like advertising albums and Vevo commercial. Make it happen, music industry and Taylor Swift.

OK, those are the nominees. Now, it appears that the American Music Awards is for popular music, not mainstream music which means country is part of popular music, not mainstream music. But it appears that it can be a mix up. First of all, Carrie Underwood is not a country singer. She is a pop singer because her country music is different compared to other country music like George Strait and her music is more akin to Christian music as well as Demi Lovato and Evanescence. So therefore, Carrie Underwood is not country. Carrie Underwood only appeals country music killed Carrie Underwood is not country and she is pop appearance. So learn your lessons, country music. OK, let’s move on.

It appears that Sam Smith, 5 Seconds of Summer, Mary J. Blige to perform at 2014 American Music Awards. Who’s next? Britney Spears? That’s right. Bring back American Music Awards Britney Spears appearance, American Music Awards. Bring back Britney Spears to perform at American Music Awards. Britney Spears is huge since 1998 and she is still huge today. So please pay attention to Britney Spears, US music industry. Anyway, this will be Iggy Azalea’s first American Music Awards appearance since she was the top nominee at American Music Awards and she leads American Music Awards nominations with 6 nods. Good for you, Iggy Azalea. OK, let’s move on to Meghan Trainor and her funny number 1 2014 song, All About That Bass.

OK, let's discuss Meghan Trainor and her hilarious number 1 hit song from Epic Records (Boo!), All About That Bass. As you may know that Epic Records's All About That Bass has hit number 1 on Hot 100 Billboard chart above Taylor Swift's hilarious number 1 2014 single, Shake It Off for 7 weeks. That's crazy. I mean, 7 weeks? Nice. Anyway, That song along with Shake It Off and Nick Minaj's awful song, Anoconda (Boo!) had stayed in the top 5 for more than 5 weeks. Great for this song along with Shake It Off. Speaking of Taylor Swift, I will do more random Taylor Swift stuff in this article after we discuss All About That Bass.

Anyway, what I like about Meghan Trainor? Well, for starters, it appears that Meghan Trainor is from Massachusetts. That's right, Massachusetts. Massachusetts is part of New England along with New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maine. I happened to be a New England resident because I live in New England and New Hampshire is part of New England. I live in New Hampshire. So me and Meghan Trainor lived on New England. OK, All About That Bass is a great and song if you you seen this one, you should watch the song's music video on YouTube or listen to it on the radio. But I hate radio. I want music videos. Let's not forget that Meghan Trainor is hot. I mean, look how hot she is. No matter Meghan Trainor is hot. OK, All About That Bass is done.

Now let’s move on to Taylor Swift. With 1989 released only 4 days away, Taylor Swift will be revealing her tracklist from her first pop album, 1989.

The tracklist she released on her Instagram are:

1. “Welcome to New York”

2. “Blank Space”

3. “Style”

4. “Out of the Woods”

5. “All You Had to Do Was Stay”

6. “Shake It Off”

7. “I Wish You Would”

8. “Bad Blood”

9. “Wildest Dreams”

10. “How You Get the Girl”

11. “This Love”

12. “I Know Places”

13. “Clean”

There you go, those will be the Taylor Swift songs on her 1989 album. It appears that 1989 will be the first Taylor Swift album to not have an album titled track. Pretty interesting for a Taylor Swift album. There's no Taylor Swift album titled song that appears in a Taylor Swift album with a title. That was a cool move. Don't you think? Let's not forget that Taylor Swift s leaving country for good. So let's hope Taylor Swift will be bringing all her country hits for pop just to show her country music in general to her country fans and her new fans alike. It needs to happen when 1989 is only 4 days away til launch. Taylor Swift's country songs needs pop music appearances. Vevo was very lucky. But MTV and Fuse doesn't. So what can MTV and Fuse do is to team up with Vevo and have the 2 music companies/channels to play all Taylor Swift music videos without the need of country channels like CMT. Sounds reasonable. Huh? Also, pop radio needs to play all country Taylor Swift songs like Begin Again so that way pop stations in general will play all Taylor Swift songs in general.

So why I'm looking forward for 1989 this Monday? Well, Taylor Swift needs to move all her songs in general to pop and have all her songs (including her country songs) turned to pop. We need all Taylor Swift songs like Sparks Fly on random pop stations like Radio Disney so that way, her country music will no longer play on country radio. Pop music department needs Taylor Swift's country hits in general for pop stations like MTV Hits. Thus, I'm a huge Talyor Swift fan and I loved Taylor Swift's first 3 albums. While I prefer old music over today's music like One Direction, I loved Taylor Swift and I want Taylor Swift songs in general to be pop including her country songs. Thus, Taylor Swift along with late 90s and early 2000s music are personal favorites in the 1995-2014 era. Taylor Swift along with late 90s and early 2000s all the way. Oh yeah, let's not forget why I think Taylor Swift is hot.

By the way, she also released her second promotional single that I mentioned way above called Welcome To New York. That’s right, Welcome To New York. It is written by Taylor Swift and Ryan Tedder and produced by Ryan Tedder, Noel Zancanella and Taylor Swift. Welcome To New York debut at number 1 on ITunes with Shake It Off at number 2 2 days ago. Welcome To New York? Is this what Taylor Swift come up with? Seriously? Welcome To New York is awful. I want another Taylor Swift music video and Bad Blood, Taylor Swift. Bring me another Taylor Swift music video and Bad Blood this year. That's what you'll be working on.

Following the list of the songs that will be included in 1989, there’s a new Diet Coke commercial where she gets to encounter a lot of cats. That’s right, cats are cute. Why? Because how adorable cats are. Especially those fuzzy kittens. Plus, her very own cat named Olivia Benson appears at the end of the commercial. Also, there’s another Taylor Swift commercial for Target promoting 1989. Another Target Talyor Swift commercial containing a 1989 album plays a new Taylor Swift I mentioned above called Style. With Target and Taylor Swift, there's no way albums nowadays can stop Taylor Swift album because Taylor Swift albums were way better than other albums from 2004-today like Britney Jean. Next up, a Taylor Swift MTV marathon during either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

For the first time ever, 1989 will be Taylor Swift's first pop album, the first Taylor Swift album that does not include country tracks and the first Big Machine Records all at the same time. Do you believe that? It looks like Big Machine Records will have to get rid of country music like Tim McGraw and moved on to pop music in Nashville like Christina Aguilera. I want that to happen because I want Big Machine Records to be a pop record label in Nashville instead of country. That way, the entire country music industry will become obsolete in Big Machine Records. If 1989 becoming another success, then maybe Big Machine Records will change its records label to pop label and remove all country music outputs like The Band Perry. This will allow Big Machine Records to turn Taylor Swift into a pop star and turn a country label into a pop label in Nashville. So no more country music for Big Machine Records. It's time for Big Machine Records to move on to pop. That means, Taylor Swift is no longer a country star and country radio will no longer play Taylor Swift songs like Mean. That's right, all Taylor Swift's country songs like Picture To Burn are now pop. So with a Taylor Swift marathon coming to MTV, all Taylor Swift songs are now pop and all her country songs like Ours will be joining pop music allowing Taylor Swift's country fans to have a big surprise when her country songs like Tim McGraw were played on pop radio. Now this is something that Taylor Swift will look forward to when 1989 hits stores this Monday.

So, what do you think? Are you exciting to see 2014 American Music Awards on November 23 hosted by Pitbull? Do you want to see Iggy Azalea winning one of the 6 nominees? Are you happy that All About That Bass peaked at number 1 for 7 weeks in a row? Are you exciting to pick up Taylor Swift's 1989 album? Would you like too see all Taylor Swift songs becoming pop and not country anymore? Do you want Big Machine Records to become a pop label when 1989 has becoming another success for Talyor Swift? Sound off below!

My Taylor Swift's 1989 Predictions

Only 7 days left until Taylor Swift's fifth album, 1989, came out and I will get a quick start on my predictions for Taylor Swift's 1989.

Now, as you may know that I will be making my predictions for the entire 1989 era. But first, the album's US sales.

My 1989 Album Sales Prediction:
US, first week: 300k-700k

Guess Predictions:
US, first week: 700k-1 million

Now, as you may notice that Red sold 1.2 million copies in the US during its first week. So 1989 might sold less than Red or Speak Now. So I was thinking about selling between 400k and 700k copies on its first week. But if the sales are once again more than 1 million copies, then its a win for Taylor Swift. But, if it sold less than 1 million, then about 500k-700k copies in its first week would be fine for a Taylor Swift album. See what I'm saying?

Now for the US sales, it might gonna sold less than Taylor Swift's 4 albums from 2006-2012. So I was saying, I think that 1989 might be a regular success rather than a huge success because 1989 will not have any country music at all, just pop. So selling more than 2 million copies in the US will be good for a Taylor Swift album. So it will stay at number 1 at the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart for either 1 week or 2 weeks and then drop below to number 2 or below if the album's sales were in the top 10 for, I would say, more than 2 weeks. Now, let's talk about my predictions for Taylor Swift's 1989 era predictions. So let's check it out.

Now, as you may notice that 2 months ago when Taylor Swift announce her 1989 album and her really funny number 1 pop song, Shake It Off on August 18 throughout Yahoo, she talks about 1989 was classified as her first pop album. Then Taylor Swift performs Shake It Off at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards so that way Shake It Off will be at number 1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart. Then last month, Taylor Swift performed this song at the IHeartRadio Festival 2014 alongside Love Story, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble and 22. Also last month, she announced Bad Blood off of the Rolling Stone cover. Bad Blood is a bout Katy Perry. I covered that last month. So go check it out if you haven't. Then this month, we have Out Of The Woods and she was promoted at Subway. She will then appear in a new Diet Coke commercial where she encountered a truckload of nice fuzzy kittens. Her cat, Olivia appeared at the end of the commerical. Now let's talk about my predictions for Taylor Swift's 1989 era right now.

My 1989 Era Predictions:
2014:
October 2014:
Out Of The Woods (already out last week)
1989 launch on October 27
November 2014:
Probably another Taylor Swift music video (either Bad Blood or Out Of The Woods or so on)
Taylor Swift marathon on MTV
December 2014:
Taylor Swift turns 25 on December 13
Jingle Ball Festival
2015:
2015 Grammys
Taylor Swift's 1989 Tour
Another Taylor Swift music video for one of her songs off of 1989
Possibly a Taylor Swift 2015 single (much like 2013's Highway Don't Care)
2015 MTV Video Music Awards
2015 American Music Awards
The end of 1989 tour by the end of 2015
Possible a 2015 Taylor Swift Christmas EP and probably her first Christmas single music video

OK, these are my predictions. Then after the 1989 era is done, Taylor Swift will be moving on to her tenth anniversary of her career with her greatest hit album and then her 10th anniversary tour. OK, I hope my read my article on my predictions for her 1989 era. Keep in mind that the 1989 era don't last very long unlike her Fearless/Speak Now/Red eras. So keep in mind of that. Trust me, 1989 will be her short era and it will end by the end of next year.

So what do you think?

Taylor Swift Tidbits

Hey Swifties. Now just to let you know that her fifth album, 1989 is only 13 days away. Are you exciting for 1989? Also, Taylor Swift has released a new song off of 1989 called Out Of The Woods and it debut at number 1 on ITunes as soon as it came out during midnight earlier this morning. So if you haven’t pick up Out Of The Woods, now is the time to do that. Anyway, it appears that Taylor Swift is teaming up with Diet Coke and Subway for promoting Taylor Swift. Now that’s what I like to market Taylor Swift, not promoting Taylor Swift. Now, here’s what Billboard has to say about this.

"Exclusive: Taylor Swift Teams With Subway, Diet Coke For #MeetTaylor Promotion

Want to meet Taylor Swift on her next tour? Subway’s got you covered.

The world’s largest restaurant chain (42,741 locations globally) is teaming up with the best-selling pop star and Diet Coke for #MeetTaylor, a campaign that will give 31 fans a chance to win paid trips to meet Taylor Swift on her 2015 concert tour – one for every day in October, in anticipation for the Oct. 27 release date of her fifth album 1989.

The promotion kicks off October 1, with fans able to enter by purchasing a limited-edition, Swift-branded Diet Coke cup that will include a specially-marked code to enter the #MeetTaylor contest on www.subway.com or the Subway Freshbuzz App. Subway will advertise the Taylor tie-in via TV, radio, social media and in-restaurant advertising, with an undisclosed media spend that chief marketing officer Tony Pace indicates may increase as the campaign picks up steam.

“The whole marketing model is moving much more to a real-time circumstance, which is really beneficial when you’re working with a star as big as Taylor Swift,” Pace says. “Taylor reaches a really broad swath of millennials that are very engaged with her music, and because she’s been so astute about her presence in social media, a lot of people in that demographic really identify with her.”

Swift is no stranger to teaming with brands both in and outside of an album cycle. For 2012’s Red alone she teamed with Target, Walgreen’s Ked’s, CoverGirl and Elizabeth Arden, adding Diet Coke in early 2013 for a "long-term partnership" that included signing on as a Red tour sponsor. Perhaps most notably, Swift previously worked with Papa John’s during Red’s release week for an album-bundle deal that contributed 9,000 copies to her massive 1.2 million-selling debut. Pace says Subway will mention 1989 and its release date in marketing materials, but will not sell physical copies of the album at Subway locations.

"From a logistics standpoint, it’s a little tough,” Pace says. “Folks would say, ‘Well, just send x number of albums to a given restaurant,’ and that’s a little bit complicated because the demand is gonna be different at each restaurant when you’re dealing with physical inventory. We were able to work this out in a way that made sense for our system and her team.”

While Papa John’s and Walgreen’s are not expected to return for Swift’s 1989 promotion cycle, Target has already announced its latest deluxe-edition exclusive, with fresh campaigns from Ked’s and Diet Coke expected to roll out in the coming weeks as well.

The contest entry will run through November 15, for U.S. residents only, aged 13 or older, with grand prizes of a trip for two that includes airfaire, hotel, transportation, $500, concert tickets and meet-and-greet passes.

There you go, Subway is promoting Taylor Swift. With Taylor Swift’s music getting marketed not, promoting it, we want other artists like Avril Lavigne to market music from different places like Subway rather than promoting music because streaming music is on the rise thanks to music’s important websites like Vevo. So let’s hope music needs to move on to the internet because listening to music needs to dominate the music industry. Now let’s continue.

It also appears that Taylor Swift will be doing more Diet Coke this year. She started teaming up with Diet Coke last year and she will be doing more Diet Coke this year.

Also, Taylor Swift’s hilarious smash hit single, Shake It Off has peaked at number 2 at the Hot 100 chart behind Meghan Tranor’s All About That Bass for another week. Great for a Taylor Swift song. Let’s not forget that Shake It Off has peaked at number 1 on Pop Songs chart and Adult Pop Songs chart at the same time with the latter peaked the song at number 1 for 3 weeks. I would say congrats to Taylor. Let’s not forget the music video gained more than 171 million views on Vevo and YouTube too. With Shake It Off becoming a huge success, Shake it Off might takeover her country music and soon, her country songs like Picture To Burn might be ending up played on pop music stations like Fuse. That way, all her country tunes like Ours will no longer be played on country music stations like CMT. So that means, all her country songs like Mean will only play on pop, not country. Let’s make this happen. We want all her country singles like Tim McGraw on pop radio now. Next up, Out Of The Woods and hopefully, Out Of The Woods music video soon.

OK, with Shake It Off becoming a huge success, Taylor Swift will no longer do country music and her country music will no longer play on country. So this would be a good time to have all her country songs turned to pop because all her county songs needs to be pop, not country. That includes Tim McGraw’s number 1 2013 country song, Highway Don’t Care featuring Taylor Swift. Now all we gotta do now is to wait for MTV to air a Taylor Swift marathon and Taylor Swift is officially 100% pop and all her music is now 100% pop. Of course, that includes all her country music because all her country music, crossover or not, will be 100% pop as soon as 1989 hits stores in 13 days. With 1989 becoming another huge success for Taylor Swift, Big Machine Records might be getting rid of country music and switched over to pop music like Britney Spears because pop music needs Nashville pop music. Imagine Carrie Underwood making pop music in Nashville. That would be awesome if pop music gets to do Nashville pop music instead of country music. So we’re gonna say goodbye to country music because country music is not mainstream music and popular music don’t care about country music. Popular music should’ve done better if country music don’t belong to popular music and only belongs to other music. Remember, this blog is all about mainstream music, not popular music.

So are you exciting for 1989? Are you gonna pick up 1989 when it came out on October 27? Are you exciting to see Taylor Swift at Subway? Would you like to see a Taylor Swift marathon on MTV when MTV is planning to make one? Do you like Out Of The Woods and you wish to see an Out Of The Woods music video soon? Are you happy to see Shake It Off becoming her new number 1 smash hit single? Sound off below!

Avril Lavigne Already Working On 6th Album

OK, remember I talked about my articles regarding on why Avril Lavigne needs to make an album with no bratty songs and why Avril Lavigne needs to resign Sony Music and moved to Universal Records for 2015? Well, it appears that Avril Lavigne is writing a "less pop" 6th album. That's right, Avril Lavigne is going less pop new songs. Awesome. Now, here's what Avril Lavigne's upcoming sixth album has to say about that in this exciting article.

In May we discovered that Avril Lavigne is already writing new songs. Even though her self-titled 5th album came out only last November and she is currently touring in support of it, that hasn’t stopped her from crafting more tunes. She confirmed in June that she’s been writing these new songs alone.

Now we have more info on Avril Lavigne’s new songs: In an interview with In Rock Magazine, she revealed that the songs she was writing while in Brazil are less pop than the music she’s known for. Will Avril Lavigne’s next album go in a new direction?

Throughout her career, she has always been somewhere in the pop rock category. She’s ranged from darker, heavier tracks to upbeat pop punk and straightforward pop. It was after her 3rd album when things got tricky for the singer. Although she wanted to go in a mellow, acoustic direction for Goodbye Lullaby – reflective of her recent divorce – her label wanted a couple of hit pop singles. Arguments, returns to the studio, and a over a year later, and her 4th album was divided into two halves: Part radio friendly pop, part acoustic pop rock.

On her 5th album, Avril Lavigne, Avril faced similar differences of opinion. She was ready to release a record full of indie rock and pop rock songs that were personal to her. Indeed, songs like “Give You What You Like” and “Falling Fast” showed a whole new direction for Avril Lavigne, one that was more mature and adult contemporary. But her label once again wanted those radio hits, and she ended up recording with big name producers to make pop rock songs that are more akin to her earlier work.

So Avril Lavigne’s last two albums have been inconsistent and confused in their musical style. So she probably knows what she wants: Less pop, more singer-songwriter/rock/acoustic. But her label wants her to repeat the success of “Girlfriend” over and over, and demands pop songs that she ultimately isn’t interested in.

Hopefully Avril Lavigne’s next album will be exactly how she wants it, and represent the sound and style that she has in mind. We’re excited to hear her “less pop” songs. If they’re anything like the more latter half of Avril Lavigne, they will be amazing.

Keep checking back here for more news on Avril Lavigne and your other favorite artists. You can also check out a full recap of everything we know about Avril Lavigne’s 6th album so far.

OK, here's what I'm saying about the 6th Avril Lavigne album. In my opinion, it appears that Avril Lavigne is getting better after the RCA era ended in 2011. But the songs released after RCA like Rock N Roll were ended up going with the floed by Epic Records. Well, come to think of it.

About that... For me, I think Here's To Never Growing Up was her top 20 2013 hit single right? Yeah. That's right, Here's To Never Growing Up would be a great time to start things up quietly without any general public which is driven by poor promotions, bratty singles of Avril Lavigne as a whole and Martin Johnson. It would've been great if Here's To Never Growing Up is produced by Max Martin. But no, Here's To Never Growing Up lost its number 1 peaks because of Martin Johnson and bratty singles of Avril Lavigne as a whole. That's too bad because Here's To Never Growing Up is such a funny Avril Lavigne song and Here's To Never Growing Up fits nicely as a 2013 Avril Lavigne song. Plus, Here's To Never Growing Up is a great Avril Lavigne song to start summer 2013 off. But it got lazy. So instead of Here's To Never Growing Up becoming her huge comeback unlike the misguided What The Hell, it got wasted in the public and it was thrown against other summer 2013 singles like Come & Get It (great song by the way), We Can't Stop, Heart Attack and Blurred Lines. Epic Records is lazy.

Anyway, following Here's To Never Growing Up, we have Rock N Roll (another funny song) and Let Me Go with Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. But again, poor marketing and Epic Records killed Rock N Roll and Let Me Go. Why, Epic Records, why? Worse, her fifth album was a mess by putting in bratty songs, bad release date, Martin Johnson, and of course, a song that nearly killed her career called Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty? Who come up with that idea? Anyway, will Avril Lavigne's sixth album and her 2015 lead single ever gonna get her number 1 singles back? I hope so. Why? Because Avril Lavigne hasn't do her number 1 singles since 2007's Girlfriend and Avril Lavigne needs her number 1 singles back. She needs a real comeback. No more bratty songs and she needs to leave Epic Records and move to Universal labels like The Island Def Jam Music Group because Sony screwed over her music after the Let Go era since 2004. Remember artists that can try something new on a new album instead of major staple signature objects? Take Taylor Swift for instance, Taylor Swift wanted to make an album with no country songs which will be her fifth album which is coming out on October 27. The result is her first pop album, 1989. With Taylor Swift finally manage to make an album with no country songs, Avril Lavigne gets to make an album with no bratty songs and instead trying out new things. Just like Taylor Swift. Hey, I know, what if Taylor Swift can team up with Avril Lavigne? That would be awesome if both album can do that. Plus, Taylor Swift can handledly compete against Avril Lavigne since Avril Lavigne was screwed over by Sony and RCA during 2004 onwards allowing Taylor Swift to beat Avril Lavigne. So when Taylor Swift gets to tour on her 1989 tour next year, Avril Lavigne would be a good time to team up with Taylor Swift. Pretty interesting, huh? Now let's continue.

So why am I rooting for Avril Lavigne's 2015 outputs for 2015 so much? The answer: It's a big risk. A HUGE risk. I think Avril Lavigne needs her successes back and she needs to bring back her number 1 peaks in general when Avril Lavigne takes risks, and pulls them off.

Her sixth album, to me, is a risk along with the lines of her second 3 albums, Under My Skin, The Best Damn Thing and Goodbye Lullaby. These 3 Avril Lavigne albums released between 2004 and 2011 with Under My Skin, Avril Lavigne's sophomore album, becoming an album that fans loved along with Let Go as well as her funny lead single off of her third album, The Best Damn Thing, Girlfriend where Girlfriend sold more than 3 million copies in the US and topped the Hot 100 Billboard chart in 2007. Right? Yup. Let's continue. Avril Lavigne's fourth album, Goodbye Lullaby, is where Avril Lavigne gets to go on a mature route by releasing mellow tracks like Wish You Were Here and let's not forget Max Martin too. All three albums were released after Let Go released in 2002 and all three albums will be different than Let Go by focusing on different experiments. These three albums is perfect for this thing, but unfortunately, those three albums fell short of their ambitions thanks to RCA and Sony's executives for ruining the 3 post 2002 albums. Under My Skin was originally made by Arista Records in 2004. It was going to be an epic Avril Lavigne album because it was her second album and her album that fans loved in 2004, and it showed that Avril Lavigne wanted to break away from bratty songs that plagued Complicated and Skater Boy and even Losing Grip during the Let Go era.

It would've been perfect, coming off of Let Go during 2002. Shirts that said "No Bratty Songs. Yes Mature Songs." were worn by Arista during production in 2003. This was shaping up to be Avril Lavigne’s most ambitious album yet. Something Avril Lavigne would've made. What happened? Well, Arista and Avril Lavigne was dictated by RCA and Sony Music’s executives. RCA manufactured the album causing Arista unable to manufacture the album on its own, and Under My Skin turned out to be a mess. It couldn't appeal to music public in 2004. It was perceived as too explicit for kids (even though this happened in Don’t Tell Me and My Happy Ending), her singles which are better than her 2007-present bratty singles did horrible compared to her Let Go singles and feels more like a post 2002 album rather than a sophomore Avril Lavigne album because the album wasn't mature enough for people in 2004. Worse, 2004 music hates Under My Skin and 2004 music only likes other 2004 music like Lean Back. Overall, Under My Skin was a big mess. Even with positive reviews from the critics, Under My Skin paled along with The Best Damn Thing/Goodbye Lullaby/2013 Avril Lavigne album compared to Let Go. Even the success of Under My Skin and fans loved the album couldn't saved the album’s public during 2004. Worse, He Wasn’t did not release a music video in 2005 in the US. That’s why the Let Go era and Girlfriend is better than Under My Skin. OK, let’s continue.

Following Under My Skin, where in return, that poorly-marketed album turned out to be the second best selling Avril Lavigne album of all time selling more than 3 million copies in the US as of 2006, undoubtedly, Avril Lavigne lost tons of fans after releasing The Best Damn Thing despite the album's lead single, Girlfriend, is her number 1 smash hit single of 2007. And yet they ignore the fact, her career has severely gone downhill in 2004 when RCA and Sony Music gets to control too much power over Avril Lavigne causing Avril Lavigne's career after 2003 started to have problems in the same year. She then reluctantly faded into obscurity for four years, as her record label had refused to release her next album until she agreed to work with Max Martin on the single What The Hell.

That next album, Goodbye Lullaby, was designed to win back her old fans. But that never happened. What The Hell was supposed to appeal to teens and tweens. But the song never caught on. Plus, she couldn’t capture a wider audience with the more mature songs that she had otherwise recorded for the album.

So in 2011, Goodbye Lullaby tanked on the charts (again, bad date, bratty songs like Smile, RCA and the album pushed back several times killed Goodbye Lullaby), and the rest of her world tour was canned.

It appears that the majority of Avril Lavigne fans have moved on.

RCA blew it because RCA killed Avril Lavigne's 2004-2011 music like Under My Skin. Curse you, RCA.

Avril Lavigne's upcoming sixth album and her 2015 singles will be similar to her music from 2004-2011, but her sixth album and its 2015 singles will most likely won't be plagued with the problems that plagued them. Those songs were produced when RCA executives had their way. Read up on all the horror stories. An Avril Lavigne song called He Wasn't from her sophomore album, Under My Skin, was being cut from Under My Skin's singles selection in 2005 because the music department at test screenings got antsy for not releasing He Wasn't's music video on MTV in 2005, the decision to throw RCA and explicit writing into My Happy Ending in 2004 causing that 2004 song to get rejected by the radio in 2004 after it peaked at number 1 on Top 40 Mainstream and played more than 80 million times on the radio causing that Avril Lavigne song to unable to compete against other 2004 songs like Since U Been Gone, RCA killed Arista's Under My Skin (Avril Lavigne's second album from 2004) causing that album to pale along with its singles like Don't Tell Me compared to 2002's Let Go era despite selling almost 3 million copies in the US and fans loved the album, the various cuts done to her third album, The Best Damn Thing like no Keep Holding On music video, fans hated Girlfriend in 2007 despite Girlfriend peaked at number 1 on Billboard Hot 100 in 2007 and the butchering of Goodbye Lullaby (Avril Lavigne's 4th album in 2011)... The list goes on. Now that the RCA era is over, Epic Records and LA Reid don't have to worry about this. No more pandering Avril Lavigne songs to people who doesn't care about Avril Lavigne, no attempts to make an Avril Lavigne song more appealing to music listeners who never heard of Avril Lavigne rather than fans. Avril Lavigne is following footsteps of another artist like Madonna and Taylor Swift, allowing Avril Lavigne to create great songs for all ages without having to pander to any particular audience.

This is why Avril Lavigne's recent outputs is superior to a majority of her music released between 2004 and 2011. I'll take Here's To Never Growing Up, Rock N Roll and Let Me Go over Don't Tell Me, My Happy Ending, Nobody's Home, Girlfriend, When You're Gone, Hot, The Best Damn Thing, What The Hell, Smile and Wish You Were Here any day. Still, fascinating work shines through in these songs. Look past the executive meddling and you'd be surprised. Now we're in an era where we don't have to look past that. I have a feeling that the sixth Avril Lavigne album and her 2015 singles could be the first ambitious Avril Lavigne era that will work, because no executives will be sticking their spoons into the broth. Avril Lavigne hasn't made a risky, ambitious sixth album and its 2015 singles that worked for a while. Now the time has come...

OK, let's get back to my ideas for Avril Lavigne's sixth album. Shall we? Good. Remember I talked about why Avril Lavigne needs to stop making bratty songs earlier? That's what I'm saying. No bratty songs and the lead single has to be different. So how about a rock album. Yeah, that would be nice. A rock album sounds like a good choice for the sixth album. Plus, she can make alot of amazing rock tracks with good storytelling. Taylor Swift did that already. So how about doing the same thing Taylor Swift did for the next album. A crossover rock single for pop radio works perfectly for an Avril Lavigne rock single. Not only that, she needs good collaborations like Max Martin and make it appropriate for all ages, not explicit writing. Let's not forget that she needs another artist for a new collabo single too like Lorde. That's another reason Avril Lavigne is a fan favorite artist. One more thing, she needs to find a beautiful, mature talented image, not a spoiled brat image. You got that? Good. OK, that's it for my thoughts.

What do you think? Do you want Avril Lavigne's sixth album to be better than her fourth and fifth albums? Do you think it's the only way to bring back Avril Lavigne's number 1 records? Do you think 2015 would be a great time for Avril Lavigne to get her number 1 singles back? Sound off!

I Hate Justin Bieber (A Rant)

Hello everybody, today, we're gonna talk about why I hate Justin Bieber. But before we're gonna do that, let's talk about why 1995 ruined America by putting in messy 1995 junk like Pocahontas instead of something good in 1995 like Wonderwall.

As you may know that music is having trouble going strong since 1995 since America doesn't care about music from 1995 onwards and music thinks 1994 is the peak of music's greatness. It would've been great if we can listen to music from 1995-2014 like This Is How We Do It, No Diggity, MMM Bop, Believe, Californication, The Middle, A Moment Like This, Stacy's Mom, Leave (Get Out), Don't Cha, Umbrella, Love Story, Firework, Love You Like A Love Song, Blown Away, Heart Attack and Boom Clap. But no, America is screwing up 1995-2014 music like Pon De Replay and Black Widow and never stops. Why America hates great music from the late 90s/early 2000s and today's music like Lady Gaga? Let me guess, money. That's why.

So we saw a decline in the late 90s and early 2000s from 1996 to 2003, but we got an upswing that started with great music from 1996 in the late 90s and early 2000s but sadly ended with great music from 2003. 2003’s impressive music from 2003 like Hey Ya, unfortunately, was dwarfed by music from 2004 onwards as 2004 arrives. That became the start of music's declining that started in 2004 which resulted damaging great music from 2004 like Pieces Of Me by switching over to big names like Britney Spears and today's fads like One Direction. With late 90s and early 2000s music disappeared in 2004 as 2004 is considered mid 2000s, the novelty of why America is going downhill and people bash America was still strong at the time since 1995, and everything else worked in America's declining's favor.

So music’s plan was to move away from the dominating 90s and early 2000s formula by 2003 as 2003 ended the early 2000s. The next line-up of music will be music that will evolve and try something new each time from 2004 all the way to today. And thus, we have music from 2004-today like Taylor Swift and Iggy Azalea. In, 2004, Usher released Yeah and become the most successful song of 2004 thanks to Ludacris. Also in 2004, Kelly Clarkson is huge thanks to her amazing 2004 song, Breakaway along with her sophomore album with the same name and its smash hit lead single, Since U Been Gone. In 2005, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna and Chris Brown has joined the music lineup by putting in Jesus Take The Wheel, Pon De Replay and Run It respectively. In 2006, Taylor Swift came in with her first mainstream song which is actually country called Tim McGraw. This is where Taylor Swift gets to become a major crossover hit artist thanks to her 2 worldwide crossover hits from her second album, Fearless, Love Story and You Belong With Me. In 2012, Taylor Swift release her number 1 smash hit single We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together off of her 4th album Red, which sold more the 1.2 million copies in the US during its first week. Let's not forget Tim McGraw's Highway Don't Care last year since I loved that song and Taylor Swift was featured too. This year, Taylor Swift will be releasing her debut pop album 1989 along with her number 1 smash hit single Shake It Off. In 2007, Rihanna finally made her music popped thanks to her hilarious smash hit song, Umbrella along with Avril Lavigne's 2007 number 1 hit single, Girlfriend. Plus, we have Colbie Caillat and later, the return of Spice Girls later in 2007. By the late 2000s, we have Katy Perry and her number 1 hit singles like I Kissed A Girl, Firework and Roar and there's also Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. Both artists are from Disney Channel and both artists were huge in 2013 thanks to Come And Get it and Heart Attack respectively as well as Slow Down and Neon Lights respectively. In 2009, right after TRL ended by the end of 2008, we have Vevo along with a new era which begins that year. In 2013, Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea has joined the music squad along with the rise of steaming music like Spotify and in 2014, Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande has shined throughout the whole year as well as even more exciting cool discoveries throughout 2014 like Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass. This will make the 2009-2014 period the most exciting music era yet...

Unfortunately, the plan didn’t quite work out. By 2004, America had put many labels' executives in charge of music industry. Many of them were biased against music and saw it as a marketing machine, rather than a great medium where we get to listen to great music with state of the art quality and innovation as well as great artists like Rihanna and Ariana Grande. As a result, the music environment there became worse and worse, and the music (including great music after 2003 like Umbrella) took a hit…

In 2004, we saw nothing but post early 2000s songs like Lean Back which resulted in destroying great 2004 songs like My Happy Ending and later in the mid 2000s, innovation's evolution was pretty much going with the floed by America and mainstream repeats along with in favor of repeat hits like twerking music videos and Justin Bieber. Not only that, they put the wrong music in the wrong marketing like putting Carrie Underwood songs like Mama's Song on country music department and not released mainstream and Taylor Swift putting her pop songs like I Knew You Were Trouble on her country music career damaging her country music career causing country music to forget her country songs like Begin Again causing Taylor Swift songs only appeal pop music and America (except for fans) forgets her country music like Red and only wants her pop songs like Everything Has Changed. Let's not forget today's bad artists like Justin Bieber (which I'll discuss later) as well to today's annoying songs like Wrecking Ball. America is ruining great music since 2004 and never stops. Why can't music pay attention to music in general like Avril Lavigne and Vevo? Stupid America music for ruining music.

The 2004-2014 era has now become the "music is going downhill causing people hates today's music" era post-early 2000s.

The late 90s and early 2000s music’s tenure was ambitious, but ruined by executive interference, 1995 or later music America, bad 90s music like Spice Girls and the aggressive “I hate today's music” of America's music as a whole. Music was no longer that maker of fine family entertainment and innovation for everyone; it was now a “music started going downhill in 1995” empire.

The latter half of 2004-2014 period’s tenure thankfully is hands-off when it comes to the labels and nothing is I hate today's music and I miss old music-ified. Music artists after 2004 like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry along with songs after 2004 like Love Story and Come & Get It as well as other surprises like Vevo get to do their own thing, they get to make their own decisions for the most part. However, the era is unambitious in many other areas thanks to repeat America populars that ruined good music after early 2000s by putting in today's artists like One Direction and today's awful songs like Miley Cyrus's We Can't Stop and Nicki Minaj's Anaconda.

Why can't music is going strong anymore? I'm sick of today's awful artists like Miley Cyrus and today's awful music like Blurred Lines. I want my good new music like Kelly Clarkson's Catch My Breath. Stupid today's bad music like Gangnam Style. OK, now let's talk about why I hate Justin Bieber.

OK, now let's talk about why I hate Justin Bieber. First of all, he can't sing. Second, he sings like a girl in his 2009-2010 music like Baby. But then his voice changes and sings like a male rnb singer on his 2012 songs like Beauty And A Beat. Not only that, he is not talented and he doesn't win a Grammy. Good, I like it that way. No Grammys for you, Justin Bieber. Let's continue. He doesn't like people who listens to Metal and Metallica. He doesn't like Metallica. Are you serious?

Then it got ugly, he has way too much fans as well as his annoying songs like As Long As You Love Me. Worse, his fans saying "he's so hot". What? Is is really necessary to say Justin Bieber is hot to Justin Bieber? How about no. There's no such thing as Justin Bieber is hot. First of all, stop saying he's hot/she's hot to artists like Justin Timberlake. You know people saying "this artist is hot" to an artist like Ne-Yo is not okay. Second of all, why is it necessary to say he's hot to men like Usher. How about no. There's no such thing as men are hot. In fact, you should never say hot to an artist like Avril Lavigne. It's not OK to say hot to an artist like One Direction. So end of story.

It's tough keeping up with Justin Bieber. He's just so...dumb, to the point where he makes The Lazyness, of Crazy Ira and The Idiot fame, seem like Casey Kasem by comparison. I've never been within a mile of the Beebs (the court took care of that problem), but I imagine being around him is like wandering into an Axe Body Spray walk-in humidor. How Selena Gomez, who seems like a normal-ish person, lasted as long as she did, I'll never know.

After yesterday's incident, which I'll get to later, I thought it wise to cull together some of the Swaggy Bro's most nightmareish moments from throughout his still relatively-young career. What does the future hold in store? Will he rob a Hollister store, shirtless, while listening to DMB? The answer: yes. Justin Bieber: history's biggest nightmare is the enture music industry.

Thus, Justin Bieber may be the most stupidist music artist In world history. Here are 10 reasons why Justin Bieber is so annoying.

10 Reasons Why Justin Bieber Is Garbage"

#1. This note, from the Anne Frank House’s Facebook page:

Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House, together with his friends and guards. Fans were waiting outside to see a glimpse of him. He stayed more than an hour in the museum. In our guestbook he wrote: “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.” (Via)

Seriously? Anne Frank loves Justin Bieber? How about no, let's move on.

#2. Still trying to make sense of the time JB killed Bowser, stole his shell, and painted it yellow.

#3. He began the year a Los Angeles Lakers fan ("from the womb"), he'll end it a Miami Heat bro.

#4. Along the athletics line: OF COURSE he hangs out with boxing's Miami Heat, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Boo!

#5. Justin Bieber's car is faster than a cheetah; the poor cat's blood is sprayed all over his Audi.

#6. That time he bought a monkey in Germany, nearly caused Outbreak, then left it behind.

#7. When he tweets "worst birthday," what does that mean?

 "Worst birthday," he tweeted to his more than 35 million followers. The tone of the message was in stark contrast with his excitement from earlier in the day, when he wrote, "Gonna be fun tonight. 19!"

So what went wrong? A source at London's Cirque du Soir, where the "Nothing Like Us" crooner was celebrating with friends including Will Smith's son Jaden Smith and British singer Ella-Paige Roberts Clarke, tells Us Weekly that there was a confrontation between Bieber's team and security at the venue. The alleged source of the scuffle was Smith, who at 14 isn't old enough for the club scene.

One night earlier, he and his pals partied past dawn at the members-only after-hours club BLC (British Luxury Club) in London. From there, they headed to Edgware Road for some snacks before finally calling it a night at 6 a.m. Later, before going to Cirque du Soir, Bieber went on a shopping spree at Selfridges, where he picked up some Christian Louboutin sneakers, Hermes accessories, and a ton of Balmain and Givenchy swag. (Via)

Of course, his birthday is awful last year. What's next? Losing his career? Lol.

#8. Never Forget: where you were when you saw Beebs saying "(insert bad word here) Bill Clinton" after pissing into a mop bucket.

#9. The entirety of Big Daddy Drew's GQ profile, including this immortal passage:

Everyone gathers around as Bieber tours the van. He is euphoric. So much so that he has decided to pledge his loyalty to West Coast Customs forever and to decry its rival, Platinum Motorsport. "(insert bad word here) Platinum," he says. "Platinum can (insert bad word here) a (insert bad word here), man. West Coast all day." This is a different Bieber from the one who was imprisoned with me. This must be the Bieber that Bieber would like to be all the time. His R-rated rant, though, draws a reprimand from Friedlinghaus. "I respect everyone's business—it's all love, dog," he tells Bieber. "Dudes came from my neighborhood, you know what I mean?" Bieber is chastened. "I respect that," he says. To atone, he invites Friedlinghaus and the West Coast Crew into his recording bungalow to listen to new songs. "I'm 18 years old and I'm a swaggy adult!" he yells. "Come on, swaggy bros!" (Via)

#10. It appears that JB posting this on his Instagram is the worst thing he's ever done. Yet. Stop dating Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber. You know why Selean Gomez is older than you.

There you go, that's 10 reasons why Justin Bieber is bad.

Overall, stay away from Justin Bieber and all his stupid songs like Boyfriend. Trust me, you will never ever listen to Justin Bieber again. Now, if you'll excuse me while I go burn down alot of Justin Bieber stuff because I can't stand him.

*burning Justin Bieber merchandises and smashed his cds into pieces*
