Rock In Rio USA Is Coming To The US On May 8-16 In Las Vegas

Hey everybody. I just want you to know that Rock In Rio is coming to the US in 2015 and it will be taking place in Las Vegas on May 8, 9, 15 and 16, 2015. John Mayer will be there who will be performing. Performers in Rock In Rio USA includes Metallica, John Legend, Linkin Park, Taylor Swift, No Doubt, and Deftones. Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran will also be performed too. Now, here's what Rock In Rio has to say about this. Let's take a look.

"Rock in Rio USA Dates Announced: the One Year Countdown Begins! 30th Anniversary Festival to take place in Las Vegas May 8-9, 2015 and May 15-16, 2015.

Ready… set… GO! We’re staring to reveal the line-ups for Rock in Rio Las Vegas and Rock in Rio Brazil. The first five names announced during an official event in New York City’s Times Square on September 26th symbolize the musical diversity of the festival. The list ranges from R&B to heavy metal, with names known for their spectacular performances. OK, we won’t keep you any longer, we know you want to know; here’s the beginning of the list:

LAS VEGAS

Metallica: This is one of the greatest names in the world of heavy metal and needs no introduction. The band knows Rock in Rio quite well; in fact, they’ve played at the festival six times already. We can be sure that what they will bring to the stage for a seventh time will be their very best, as we’re counting on another historic show.

Linkin Park A result of the blend between rock and rap, Linkin Park is an old acquaintance. The guys already set the City of Rock on fire in 2008, 2012 and 2014, when they performed at Rock in Rio Lisbon. The Hunting Party, released this year, is proof of this force.

John Legend: Singer, composer, musician and producer who’s reached tremendous success, John Legend’s strong suit is R&B with heavy soul influences, plus a little hip-hop too. Love in The Future, his most recent album, exemplifies his talent for beautiful melodies. And it will be even prettier onstage.

No Doubt: Ska, rock, pop, punk and even traces of hip-hop can be found in the irresistible and inimitable sound of No Doubt. With the endlessly charismatic Gwen Stefani running the show, the band is known for their outstanding stage performances.

Taylor Swift: Perfectly combining country and pop music in her sound, Taylor Swift launches her new album “1989″ in October. Don’t miss the chance to listen to songs from her fifth album LIVE at Rock in Rio USA. It will be an awesome party.

Deftones: The Deftones are making their grand return to Rock in Rio with their unique rock and roll sound. We’re still thinking about the time they played Brazil in 2001 and can’t wait to see them once more at Rock in Rio USA."

Sounds like a good choice. Taylor Swift would be perfect for Rock In Rio since country music don't seem to care about Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift will only appeal pop, not country. So Taylor Swift will only do mainstream since country music is not mainstream and it has to be pop/hip-hop/alternative/soul/rock/EDM. Good thing rock music is mainstream, but not country. That's why popular music don't care about popular music in general like country music and Spice Girls. Popular music only appeal mainstream like pop music and Britney Spears. So I think Taylor Swift should perform any of her country singles in rock remix like Picture To Burn and Mean because all Taylor Swift songs like Ours needs to be mainstream, not country. So good choice. She can think about rock music as her next genre because Taylor Swift needs to tackle new genres now that Taylor Swift is out of country music and country music has moved on. I hope Taylor Swift gets to save rock music.

Come on, US. You need to pay attention to rock music like Nickleback. Rock music is mainstream and yet US mainstream don't care about rock music like Linkin Park. 2015 would be a perfect year for rock music's US comeback.

So what do you think about this article?

Bits Journal #4

OK, let's get back to Bits Journal. Shall we?

To start things off, it appears that Beyonce is the most Grammy-nominated woman in history! That's right, Beyonce now has more Grammy nominations than any female recording artist like Taylor Swift. Now, according to Grammys, with today's Grammy nominations still coming in for next year, Beyonce is now officially the most nominated female artist in the award show's 57-year history. Currently up for five awards, including Best Album of the Year, for last year's surprise self-titled record, Bey now has a grand total of 48 nominations, putting her ahead of Dolly Parton on the list of nominated women and tied with pop musician and producer David Foster for 7th most-nominated artist overall. Great for a female artist like Beyonce. I bet popular music loves Beyonce like Drunk In Love. In fact, Beyonce is perfect for Sony because Sony loves big names and RCA like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus respectively. However, Sony hates popular music in general like Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore. That's right, Sony hates music in general and only wants money. All Sony Music Entertainment wants is big names like Britney Spears and radio singles like Kelly Clarkson singles. Sony just wnats to forget about popular music in general like Avril Lavigne and the only way to use music goes by evolutions/creativity/innovation is Universal like Islands and EMI like Capitol and speaking of Britney Spears, I bet mainstream music needs to think about her. So, Beyonce is done and let's move on to Britney Spears. Shall we?

Now, it appears that Britney Spears is ready to record her ninth album after RCA and Work Bitch killed Britney Jean (her eighth album) last year. Luckily, 2015 will got Britney Spears covered. In fact, 2015 will be the first year for Britney Spears to get her US number 1 singles since 2011. In fact, she has recorded her first 2015 single where she gets to team up with Iggy Azalea. That's right, Iggy Azalea is gonna be in a Britney Spears song. Sounds cool, huh. I'm not a Britney Spears fan. So I don't know why I prefer her first 2 albums and forget her third album onwards from 2001-2013. Britney Spears's popularity is gonna love Britney Spears's Iggy Azalea single for early 2015. I know general public lost interest in Britney Spears since 2007. But not the music industry like MTV and Vevo though. While general public like contemporary radio had no interested in Britney Spears, we can count on the mainstream music industry like Fuse. America's music industry had screwed over Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. Even the latter's hilarious song, Booty with Iggy Azalea couldn't help. Lol. I bet America screwed over the music industry like Music Choice by putting in big names like Justin Timberlake and social media artists like One Direction and forget the rest like country music. So Britney Spears's Iggy Azalea collabo single will have more information when the 2015 Britney Spears single will be released as soon as 2015 begins. Speaking of Iggy Azalea, I want to show you about Iggy Azalea's second album for 2015. Oh yeah, one more thing, the 2015 Britney Spears with Iggy Azalea will be a fun single and not an evolved high quality single. Lol. I bet why America screwed over high quality evolutions and America only wants bland repetitive repeats just to make money. OK, let's move on to Iggy Azalea.

OK, so we're done with Britney Spears and let's talk about Iggy Azalea. Well, it appears that Iggy Azalea will be working on her second album in 2015. Guess who's gonna be in a 2015 Iggy Azalea album? That's right. Taylor Swift gets to be in Iggy Azalea's second album. So I was expecting to see Taylor Swift appearing in an Iggy Azalea collabo single and have Taylor Swift gets to do some rapping and this will the first time Taylor Swift gets to do swearing in her music career since she is capable of tackling new genres after Taylor Swift lost her country career in favor for mainstream. Country music is not mainstream. Country music is considered popular music. But country is not mainstream since popular music screwed over country music. Anyway, let's continue. Like Britney Spears, Taylor Swift will collaborate with Iggy Azalea. So let's hope Iggy Azalea's 2015 single off of her sophomore album has to feature Taylor Swift. Another artist that will appear in Iggy Azalea's collabo is Demi Lovato. So I was expecting to see Demi Lovato/Iggy Azalea collabo on either Demi Lovato's fifth album or Iggy Azalea's second album. We'll get more information when 2015 is right around the corner. OK, since I G G Y gets to be in a 2015 Grammys, let's hope the hot Australian rapper can signal Britney Spears appearing in a 2015 Grammys and do a Britney Spears/Iggy Azalea single at the Grammys. That would be so cool if it's gonna happen. Right? Well, yeah I guess. With 2014 is the perfect time for Iggy Azalea gets to be in the mainstream roster thanks to the humongous success of her mega funny number 1 single, Fancy, this would be a perfect time for Iggy Azalea shines during the mid-2010s in 2015.

OK, that's it for this article. I bet why popular music like Britney Spears needs to be events. Plain and simple.

So what do you think? Are you happy to see Beyonce had more Grammy nominations than any female recording artist to date? Would you like to see a Britney Spears/Iggy Azalea single coming in early 2015? Do you want Taylor Swift to be in a 2015 Iggy Azalea single? Are you expecting to see Demi Lovato to appear on a 2015 Iggy Azalea single? Sound off below!

Carrie Underwood Might Be Hinted For A Pop Album

That's right, Carrie Underwood will be working on her fifth album and her fifth album will be her first 100% pop album. Now, before we're gonna discuss a speculation on Carrie Underwood's first pop album, I just want you to know that, Carrie Underwood's first compilation album, Greatest Hits: Decade Number 1, is out now yesterday and Greatest Hits: Decade Number 1 include two new Carrie Underwood songs from 2014, Something In The Water, which went to number 1 on US Hot Christian Songs (Billboard) and US Hot Country Songs (Billboard), and another 2014 Carrie Underwood song called Little Toy Guns. So pick it up if you haven't. Now, let's talk about Carrie Underwood working on her first pop album that she is speculating since 2012.

Following Taylor Swift's first pop album, 1989, it's time for Carrie Underwood to do her first pop album. With Taylor Swift losing her country music career after her pop songs like I Knew You Were Trouble went mainstream causing country music department to move away from Taylor Swift and the country music industry has moved on by the time Taylor Swift released her first pop album called 1989, it's time for Carrie Underwood to move away from her own country music career and moved to pop. So, Carrie Underwood will be working on her first pop album which is her fifth album. Taylor Swift wants to adopt the style of late 80s music for pop in 1989. So I was expecting to see Carrie Underwood wanted to adopt Christian music for pop. This will allow Carrie Underwood's pop music to be more closely related to Christian music or Christian rock if you asked me. She start working on that in 2013 when 2012's Good Girl and Blown Away were smash hit crossover hits on both country and pop. So without further ado, she will be working on pop music that Carrie Underwood has never experienced before.

During the production of Carrie Underwood's first pop album, it appears that Christian music was actually made in Nashville who brought us country music. So she wanted to take on her own Christian music and fusing to pop and make her pop music look more pop Christian. Duh. So Arista Nashville will be her label once again for her first 100% pop album. So let's speculate on Carrie Underwood's mainstream music moving towards pop. Shall we?

On November 29, 2013, Carrie Underwood sings Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball beside THAT cat as she joins Rashida Jones for hilarious holiday medley on Jimmy Fallon as Carrie Underwood performed part of a holiday medley on Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night to the tune of Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball. It's usually Miley Cyrus's twerking dance moves and risqué videos which have been the subject of satire over the past few months.

But on Thursday night, Carrie Underwood channelled Miley's recent performance at the American Music Awards which featured her perform a Thanksgiving version of Wrecking Ball in front of a large ginger and white lip syncing cat.

The 30-year-old Soon-to-be Future Pop Music star joined Rashida Jones to perform a hilarious holiday medley on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

However, Carrie Underwood performed with a few more clothes on than Miley Cyrus, singing in a flared glittery cream skirt and black T-shirt, with a few chunky gold bracelets.

'I cooked you butterball. And then a green bean casserole,' she trilled in front of the cat who was wearing a black pilgrim hat. 'All you did was sit and watch football and ignore all your fam-ily, ignored all your fam-ily.'

She then joined Rashida Jones and Jimmy Fallon to sing a version of Icona Pop's I Love It (I Don't Care), with musings about the Thanksgiving turkey being raw.

'I stuffed it. I don't care,' they sang.

Earlier, Rashida Jones and Jimmy Fallon begun their medley with a Thanksgiving version of Daft Punk's hit Get Lucky.

'I feel like I weigh a ton, my pants are coming undone, turn off that microwave son, we're up all night to get turkey,' they sang, before launching into Katy Perry's Roar.

'I ate the thigh of the turkey, the gravy, everything you made me, now I'm on the sofa and you're gonna hear me snore.'

Rashida Jones looked stunning in a simple black plunging dress, with black rimmed glasses and a slick of bright lipstick.

The trio donned Santa hats at one point and seemed to enjoy their performance, showing the audience a fair few coordinated dance moves.

Earlier in November 2013, Miley Cyrus has performed at last weekend's AMAs in front of a huge ginger cat.

Then flash forward to November 29 of the same year when Carrie Underwood performs the track next to the cat wearing a Pilgrim's hat while she along with Rashida and Jimmy Fallon has performed a variety of songs to the tune of the year's most popular hits which includes Lorde's Royals, The Lumineers's Ho Hey, Daft Punk's Get Lucky, Katy Perry's Roar, Icona Pop's I Love It and Mily Cyrus's Wrecking Ball. I bet Carrie Underwood look stunning in her Santa Claus hat.

The trio appeared to be reading the festive lyrics off the autocue but had engineered a few dance moves as the trio did their best to get their audience into the holiday spirit. Duh. I bet Carrie Underwood might be speculating her first pop music as soon as 2013 ends. With Taylor Swift will no longer make country music, it's time for Carrie Underwood to follow Taylor Swift's footsteps and Carrie Underwood is ready for her first pop music despite she is after 30. Well then, let's continue.

'I hate these long lines. Outside the WalMart, outside the KMart, outside the Target,' sang Jimmy Fallon. 'You're the hottest gift in this place.'

The Lumineers's Ho Hey was the last song to be parodied: 'Made a list and checked it twice. Are you naughty or are you nice.'

'I believe in you. You believe in me. I'm Santa Claus,' they sung, before heading into the audience. Boy, I bet A Hanukkah tribute was performed to the tune of Lorde's Royals.

Well then, off to 2014 when Carrie Underwood is ready to begin working on her first pop album. That's right, Carrie Underwood's first pop album will be ready before by the end of 2014 when she is ready to release her first pop music as she turns 31. This will allow Carrie Underwood to get ready for her first pop album which will be Carrie Underwood's fifth album by the end of 2014. Unfortunately, Carrie Underwood is pregnant earlier this year. So you know what that means, Carrie Underwood has to go back to country music and work on her country greatest hits album which we have today as Greatest Hits: Decade Number 1 and recorded to new country songs, which we have Something In The Water and Little Toy Guns. Something In The Water peaked at number 1 on US Hot Christian Songs (Billboard) and US Hot Country Songs (Billboard) and peaked at number 24 on US Billboard Hot 100. It had a crossover success for Christian which is why this will be hinted for Carrie Underwood's first pop music and her first pop album. She will be ready for her first child by spring 2015 which is the time her first song, Jesus Take The Wheel celebrated its tenth anniversary. This will allow her career to inspire her first pop music and this will speculated Carrie Underwood's first pop record. That way, it will allow Carrie Underwood to adopt the style of Christian music for pop when her career transcended to pop. As Christian music is made in Nashville where country music is held, she will do her own Christian music that is considered to be pop Christian, Nashville's pop music.

This might be a good time to work on her fifth album during the 10th anniversary of her career that began in 2005 after her first child. This might be confirmed that Carrie Underwood's first pop music will not be country. So no country radio for Carrie Underwood's first pop music, only pop radio. Just like Taylor Swift's pop songs like Shake It Off was released for pop radio only. I'm so exciting for Carrie Underwood's first pop album and her first pop music. But first, her baby. OK, that's it for my speculation on Carrie Underwood's first pop album.

So what do you think? Are you happy that Carrie Underwood's first pop album will be released after her first child? Would you like Carrie Underwood to do pop music that goes in a Christian rock music routine? Do you think Carrie Underwood's pop music will likely to allow her music career to drop her country music career in favor for her future pop music career? Sound off below!

Avril Lavigne Plagued by Mysterious Illness

Hey everybody, I just want you to know about why Avril Lavigne was plauged by mysterious illness. So let's take a look. 

Avril Lavigne requests that you keep Avril Lavigne in your prayers. Is she dying? It's unclear. After releasing a racist horror of a video in April, the Skater Grl's been quiet, and now she's telling fans it's because she's having "some health issues."

Despite asking for prayers, she declined to specify what health problem(s) have befallen her. Her rep refused to comment to Billboard about Avril Lavigne's "illness or its severity."

According to Billboard, Avril Lavigne was suffering from undisclosed health issue.

Avril Lavigne is suffering from an undisclosed health issue, and reportedly asked a fan to “keep me in your prayers” during an exchange over the weekend. The 30-year-old pop star did not specify the illness from which she is suffering, and has yet to release a statement.

On Sunday (Dec. 7), Avril Lavigne responded to a tweet from a fan account that reads “#GetWellSoonAvril #PrayForAvril” with a simple “thank you”:

The same Twitter fan account, @AvrilMusicChart, posted a screenshot of what is reportedly a DM exchange with her that occurred over the weekend: when asked whether or not she is working on new music, Avril Lavigne responded, “I feel bad because I haven’t been able to say anything to the fans to let them no [sic] why I’ve been absent. I’m torn as I’m quite private…. I’m not feeling well. I’m having some health issues. So please keep me in your prayers."

A rep for Avril Lavigne could not disclose the illness or its severity upon request.

Last year, Avril Lavigne released her self-titled fifth studio album, featuring the singles “Here’s To Never Growing Up” and “Rock N Roll.” She married Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger in July 2013, and he recently brushed off rumors that their marriage was on shaky ground.

Then at 4:30pm, the yesterday's Billboard article was updated and stated that following up with Billboard, a rep for Avril Lavigne has confirmed that the DM exchange posted by @AvrilMusicChart was authentic. The health issue could not be specified but it was confirmed that Avril Lavigne is not pregnant, as some have speculated.

Wow, sounds like a very serious illness issue. Anyway, with Avril Lavigne working on her sixth album for mid 2015 (June/July), she will not make anymore bratty songs and she will no longer make pop music after general public like MTV and radio had screwed over Avril Lavigne after 2002 like 2004 and Girlfriend causing Sony Music said, "Screw Avril Lavigne. Avril Lavigne is awful. Other artists like Britney Spears and Beyonce is better." That's why Arista is so much better than RCA. Too bad RCA ruined 2004's Under My Skin from Arista and RCA screwed over Under My Skin throughout 2004 by putting in wrong singles like My Happy Ending. 7 years later, Arista was shut down and RCA have completely ruined Goodbye Lullaby bu putting in delays and bratty songs like What The Hell which almost killed Avril Lavigne's comeback. Thus, RCA has to drop her and moved on to other artists like Britney Spears and Pink. 2004-2011 RCA killed Avril Lavigne's outputs after 2002 like Under My Skin. This is why I prefer Arista over RCA because Arista did an amazing job promoting Let Go throughout 2002 unlike RCA which killed her 2004-2011 albums like Under My Skin (which Arista produced back in 2003).

Then when she moved to Epic Records, she reunite with LA Ried and worked on Here's To Never Growing Up, Rock N Roll and Let Me Go with Chad Kroeger. But after she finished working on her fifth album by 2012, Epic Records did not have enough money to support Avril Lavigne like bratty songs and LA Ried has to hire a cheaply made collabo, Martin Johnson. Thus, Martin Johnson destroy her Epic Records output and ruined Here's To Never Growing Up and Rock N Roll by early 2013 and her fifth album was a mess. Yep, we can all blame Epic Records for ruining her first Epic Records album by putting in Martin Johnson and ruined her 2013 comeback causing her fifth album delayed to November and Epic Records screwed Avril Lavigne. So Epic Records will have to stick with Say Something and All About That Bass. Curse you, Epic Records.

So, for the sixth album, no Epic Records, no bratty songs, bring back number 1 singles and it has to be a rock album. Because she has to stay on Vevo, let's have Epic Records drop her and have her move to Universal Music Group where we brought us even far more successful female artists like Rihanna and have her joined Universal Music Group. That would be awesome if Universal Music Group add Avril Lavigne into its roster. But it has to be different experiments of Avril Lavigne singles for the sixth album. No bratty songs. That's why I prefer Universal is much better than Sony because Universal can follow Arista's footsteps since 2006. It would be cool if Avril Lavigne's sixth album will only have rock music and not including bratty songs. This will make Avril Lavigne a fan favorite artist since 2002.

In addition, Avril Lavigne is more into long running career than breaking records. So she is perfect for a long running career. So let's have Avril Lavigne's first rock music off of her upcoming sixth album in 2015 gets to go with a praying Avril Lavigne route and have her music rely on either Evanesence or Demi Lovato. Heck, she can even go for a Katy Perry route or a Carrie Underwood route too. Duh. What was I'm saying? I'm so exciting for Avril lavigne's real comeback in 2015 and hopefully, she might even gonna bring back her number 1 singles and she will be playing her newly shifted rock music on rock radio stations. Heck, she can also do a rock crossover single for pop so that way, she will no longer make anymore pop music or bratty singles. Sounds like a good evolution.

Oh yeah, one more thing, Avril Lavigne needs to collaborate with other artists for her sixth album's collabo single like Ariana Grande. So I was thinking about Iggy Azalea. Why? Because Iggy Azalea can collaborate with alot of artists like Charli XCX for her number 1 2014 single, Fancy. So I was expecting to see Iggy Azalea pulling off a Linkin Park route allowing Iggy Azalea to do her Linkin Park-esque raping while Avril Lavigne gets to do her serious singing in her serious rock anthem single. So Iggy Azalea for Avril Lavigne singles please.

So what do you think? Do you want to pray for Avril Lavigne? Do you want Avril Lavigne to move away from bratty singles and try something new each time? Is Avril Lavigne even gonna bring back US number 1 singles for 2015 instead of unsuccessful bratty songs? Do you think Avril Lavigne might ever make her first rock album as her sixth album from 2015? Do you want Iggy Azalea to be featured in a future Avril Lavigne single like her upcoming sixth album's single? Sound off below!

Taylor Swift Announced THE 1989 WORLD TOUR

Hey there Swifties. I hope you all enjoy 1989. If you haven't own this album, now is the time to pick this one up.

In addition, Vance Joy will be supporting all North American tour dates. His hit song, Riptide, was recently covered by Taylor Swift. Shawn Mendes will also join the tour for select performances. Another surprise that Twitter has been discovered is none other than country music's Tim McGraw. That's right, Tim McGraw will be joining a pop tour. This will be Tim McGraw's first pop tour despite he is a country star where he gets to perform his number 1 2013 country single, Highway Don't Care. Taylor Swift was featured in that song. Taylor Swift will also be signing her debut single with the same name from 2006 to him since she stopped making country music allowing Taylor Swift in favor for her pop music. This will allow Taylor Swift perform her country music to her pop fans. That way, she will move all her country songs to her pop music department just in time for her real pop career.

OK, without further ado, let's discuss The 1989 World Tour from May 05, 2015 to December 11, 2015. So all I hope you enjoy this article.

OK, that's it for this article. Now, I just want you to know that also in 2015 aside from her 1989 tour, she will be teaming up with Iggy Azalea. The same Australian rapper where she also be featured in an upcoming Britney Spears song and an upcoming Demi Lovato song in 2015. She will be collaborating with Taylor Swift along with Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. Also in 2015, Taylor Swift will might have the time to work on her 2015 Christmas EP making her first country album since 2012's Red. She will be heading back to country by the end of her 1989 tour just in time for Christmas. She might also be working on her first 2015 Christmas single and her first Christmas music video.

After Christmas in 2015, in 2016, she will be working on her second pop album and her second pop album will be her first compilation album which includes her hit pop singles along with her country singles too. But despite all her singles including her country singles will be in her greatest hits album, it is a pop album, not a country album. So it will not be promoted to country due to the inclusion of her pop singles. So her country fans will have to get T-Swizzle's compilation pop album to hear country singles like Mean. Bear in that, country fans. That way, Taylor Swift's compilation album will be released in 2016 just in time for Taylor Swift's 10th anniversary of her career that began in 2006. There will also have 2 new singles that will be different than her 1989 pop songs. So her greatest hits album's new pop songs might be different. Most likely pop punk singles or such.

So what do you think? Are you exciting for Taylor Swift's The 1989 World Tour? Do you want to see Tim McGraw on The 1989 World Tour? Sound of below!

This Is Why Something Really Caused Justin Bieber's Career To Collapse

I don’t want any hopes if I could get serious and formal with all the people for a minute. I’m going to stick my neck out here and confess that I’m a Justin Bieber hater. That’s right, I hate Justin Bieber. Why? Because his music is awful. His songs like As Long As You Love Me is just plain annoying. Why did he gained more than 80 million dollars on his total gross in 2014? Why is he more popular than far superior music like Avril Lavigne and country music? I guess America wants more Justin Bieber just to make money. So, I have sincere concerns about the state of Justin Bieber’s career. In this article, I just want to gain some insight from everyone here on Justin Bieber’s struggles and why you think Justin Bieber is a bad artist since 2009. So I hope you enjoy reading this article.

I hate Justin Bieber’s career. I mean, My World? Why did he release his 2 stupid albums, My World 2.0 and Believe? Worse, his music videos like her Boyfriend music video gained way too much views on Vevo and YouTube. Why did he get a number 1 single for Beauty And A Beat featuring Nicki Minaj? Then it got worse, we have his dumb singles which includes One Time, One Less Lonely Girl, Baby, Eenie Meenie, Somebody to Love, U Smile, Pray, Never Say Never, Boyfriend, As Long as You Love Me, Beauty and a Beat, Right Here, All Around the World, and so on. Of course, there is a Justin Bieber movie called Justin Bieber's Believe. How about no. Then of course, he started dating Selena Gomez in 2010. I mean, why is her dating Selena Gomez? Good thing He and Selena Gomez end their relationship in January 2013. I hope I will not thought that he would have a bright future.

Well, it was smart enough that Justin Bieber’s career has severely gone downhill between 2012 and 2014. So that's a good start.

Of course, Justin Bieber lost tons of fans by the end of 2012. In May 2013, a poll by Public Policy Polling found that Bieber's favorability ratings among Americans were 20% positive, 26% mixed and 54% negative. So Justin Bieber has had several run-ins with the law around the world before his first arrest in 2014, including when he was accused of reckless driving in his neighborhood in 2012 and charged in Brazil with vandalism in 2013.

With Justin Bieber's first arrest in January 2014, he coupled with a string of brushes with the law and controversial incidents in 2013, led to comments that his image has been transformed from "boy-next-door" to "bad boy". In August 2014, Justin Bieber was described to have frequently made "headlines due to his party-intense lifestyle". Well come to think of it, let's take a lookback at the stupid Canadian singer's declining to November 2011 when Justin Bieber was hit with his first real controversy at the age of 17: a 20-year-old fan claimed he was her baby daddy. The woman even said she had taken Bieber's virginity backstage at a show. But after taking a paternity test under "very controlled circumstances," it turns out that that the baby bundle wasn't the Bieb's. Sounds like a good start for his declining.

Then in September 2012, Justin Bieber blows it. The last thing an excited young Belieber expects at a show is vomit, but that's what many of his unfortunately situated fans saw at an Arizona show back in the fall of 2012. Halfway through a performance of "Out of Town Girl," The Bieb's doubled over and puked all over the stage. After an awkward apology to his audience, he tweeted "And…Milk was a bad choice! lol." Gross, Justin, just gross.

In March 2013, in London, Justin Bieber displayed some serious meltdown warning signs when he apparently went after paparazzi and had to be restrained. The resulting photo series is unintentionally hilarious, as Justin Bieber looked generally dazed and confused and why is he wearking a gas mask to dinner? Well, he went shopping and out to dine in London while donning what was probably the weirdest item of clothing item he's ever worn (and, yes, we're including his regular drop-crotch sweatpants steez in that category.) All in all, a weird trip to England. Lol, good one UK. I knew you don't care about him. This is why his 19th birthday went terrible in March 2013 because nobody celebrated his 19th birthday. What a way to start his bad behaviors off in early 2013. Let's continue.

In May 2013, Justin Bieber isn't exactly known for his acumen behind the steering wheel, and his road antics irked ex-NFL star Keyshawn Johnson, his Calabasas, California neighbor. That's right, Keyshawn Johnson apparently confronted the pop star about his speeding around their gated community in a Ferrari. That's why nobody cared about him during 2013.

In July 2013, after leaving a New York City nightclub with his friends back in July, Justin Bieber decided to pee in a random bucket normally used for cleaning the club's floors. But the weirdest part about this caught-on-camera ordeal is that Justin Bieber sprays a photo of Bill Clinton hanging in the club at the end of the clip, yelling "F(bleep) Bill Clinton!" The day after, he called the former president to apologize, later tweeting about how his "words mean a lot."

Then in August 2013, there's too much monkey business when every troubled young pop star needs a stupidly eccentric pet they can't possibly care for. Justin Bieber's came in the form of Mally, a capuchin monkey. After the Biebs left the poor little simian in Munich because he didn't have proper clearances, German authorities contacted the singer's team and told him he owed over $11,000 euros (the cost of caring for Mally). Now property of the country, Mally is currently spending his days in a German zoo. Ooh, too bad, Bieb's. Too bad.

By the end of 2013, there's more monkey troubles for Justin Bieber in November 2013. What's a meltdown without a bit of racist graffiti, right? Ever the monkey fan, he posted a photo to his Instagram of him spray-painting a questionable-looking monkey (decked out in gold chains) on a building. "This is my escape," he captioned the photo but many critics wondered if his escape was hella racist. So he has to retire his career in December 2013.

Then 2014 arrives and one of his neighbours in Calabasas, California accused Justin Bieber of throwing eggs at his home on January 9, 2014 and causing thousands of dollars of damage. On January 23, 2014, Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida together with singer Khalil, on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an over six month expired license and resisting arrest without violence. Police said that he told authorities he had consumed alcohol, smoked marijuana and taken prescription drugs. Bieber was released on a $2,500 bond. A toxicology report revealed that Justin Bieber had THC (a principal constituent of cannabis) and the anti-anxiety medication Xanax in his system at the time of his arrest. That's right, I'm talking about his awful early 2014 start in January 2014 when early into his "retirement," Justin Bieber did what any young star with free time on his hands and millions of dollars in his bank account would do: egg some houses. A neighbor called the cops, (because of course you egg the house of someone living next door), and the fuzz raided his house. They found weed and other drugs, the latter being linked to the star's latest friend Lil Za, whom he recently mooned on Instagram. On January 23, 2014, Justin Bieber was arrested in Florida for allegedly drunk driving and drag racing. Even though he made sure to drag race in the most inconspicuous car possible (a bright yellow Lamborghini), Bieber was pulled over at 4:19 a.m., and failed a sobriety test. "Why the f(bleep) are you doing this to me," he reportedly asked his arresting officers. So why indeed?

So January was just a plain bad month for Justin Bieber. Capping his horrible start to 2014, the troubled icon saw police documents surface alleged he was under the influence of alcohol, pot and Xanax when he was arrested during his road racing adventure in Miami earlier in the month. This came after his lawyer had entered a "not guilty" plea in response to the charges of DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license before February 2014 arrives when people are saying, Bieber Go Home! Not only was he struggling with judicial court issues, it appeared that he was losing in the court of public opinion, too. A WhiteHouse.gov online petition to deport the Canadian singer had become the second-largest petition in the site's history, earning 262,817 signatures. Only 100,000 signatures are needed to earn a response from the White House. The President, to his credit, has remained mum on the matter, but earlier in February, the First Lady advised Justin Bieber's mother to be "very present in his life right now." So by February 2014, apparently people deal with flying anxiety in all sorts of ways: During a flight from Canada to New Jersey, Justin Bieber and his father, Jeremy, allegedly ignored a pilot's request to stop smoking marijuana. A source told CNN that flight crew members donned oxygen masks because they didn't want to be test positive for drugs upon landing. With reported antics like this, maybe Justin Bieber wants to be deported. Good grief, Justin Bieber.

March 2014, Justin Bieber's win of the fans' choice prize at the Juno Awards received a mix of cheers and boos from the Canadian audience.

On July 9, 2014, Justin Bieber was charged with one misdemeanor count of vandalism in California for throwing eggs at his Calabasas neighbour's home in January. Police earlier claimed that they had video footage of Bieber high-fiving friends after the eggs were thrown. With Bieber pleading no contest to the charge, the Los Angeles County Superior Court sentenced him on July 9 to pay US$80,900 in restitution, serve two years' probation, complete twelve weeks of anger management and five days of community service in what the district attorney termed a negotiated settlement. Justin Bieber had moved to Beverly Hills, California after the incident.

On August 13, 2014, the January DUI case was settled with a plea bargain. Justin Bieber pled guilty to resisting an officer without violence and a lesser charge of driving without due care and attention. Justin Bieber was fined $500 and sentenced to attend both a 12-hour anger management course and a program that teaches about the impact of drunken driving on victims. Also as part of the plea bargain, he made a $50,000 contribution to Our Kids, a local children's charity.

Then during September 2014, on September 1, 2014, Justin Bieber was arrested and charged with assault and dangerous driving near his hometown of Stratford, Ontario after a collision between a minivan and his all-terrain vehicle on August 29. Ontario police claimed that he then "engaged in a physical altercation" with an occupant of the minivan. Justin Bieber was released shortly and his lawyer blamed the incident on "the unwelcome presence of paparazzi". On September 8, Toronto dropped an assault charge against him originally brought up on January 29 for an incident with a limousine driver in December 2013. Yeah, that's why I like to hear.

In November 2014, he was ordered to appear in Argentina within 60 days by a Buenos Aires court to give testimony on an alleged assault on a photographer on 9 November 2013. That's why 2013 is not a great year for Justin Bieber because some of his Believe Tour’s live performances was canned in some countries like UK as of November 2013.

Thus, it appears that the majority of Justin Bieber's fans have moved on. Good one, general public. Good one. Let's continue.

In terms of the general public, young people don’t seem to care for him, and adult listeners won’t take him seriously. Then, it got funnier, Justin Bieber is unable to compete with One Direction, Iggy Azalea, Fifth Harmony, Jessie J, Ariana Grande, 5 Seconds Of Summer and Meghan Trainor. Lol. Even Taylor Swift can easily compete with Justin Bieber. That’s right, Justin Bieber is unable to compete with Taylor Swift. Good one, Taylor Swift.

So the general public was lucky that Justin Bieber is facing a steady decline in relevance as his fanbase has greatly dwindled. So that’s a brighter note.

So what do you think? What do you think about causing Justin Bieber’s career to completely collapse? Are you happy that has Justin Bieber become a has-been? Do you think that everybody here could be objective for a moment, and give any honest opinions on the root cause of Justin Bieber’s floppage since late 2012? Do you want Justin Bieber’s career to end right away? If Justin Beber's career ended, then are you proud for him to not make anymore bad music? Sound Off below!

One Direction’s Four Makes Historic No. 1 Debut On Billboard 200 Chart Replacing Taylor Swift’s 1989

Hey everybody, I hope you all enjoying Thanksgiving and December is finally here. Now, it appears that Taylor Swift’s 1989 was dropped out of the Billboard’s Top 10 Albums chart’s number 1 peak allowing in favor of One Direction’s Four. Now, before I discuss One Direction’s Four, it appears that Four is One Direction’s fourth album because the title of the album represents 4 albums. So, let’s check out One Direction’s Four. Shall we?

Now, according to Billboard, One Direction is only group to debut at No. 1 with their first four albums. Sounds fascinating, huh? Let’s continue.

One Direction makes history, again, as the act’s new album Four debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. They are the only group in the 58-year history of the chart to see their first four albums debut at No. 1. (A year ago, they became the first group to enter at No. 1 with their first three studio sets, when Midnight Memories bowed atop the chart.)

The new album was released on Nov. 17 through SYCO/Columbia Records.

Here’s a by-the-numbers look at the achievements the British/Irish quintet has made with Four’s chart-topping arrival:

- With 387,000 sold in the week ending Nov. 23, according to Nielsen SoundScan, Four earns the second-largest sales debut of the year, and the biggest week overall for a group. Only Taylor Swift’s 1989 was larger, with its 1.287 million start.

- One Direction is the only group to see their first four studio albums debut at No. 1. (They were already the only group to arrive atop the list with their first three sets.)

- They are the fourth act, overall, to have their first four studio albums debut at No. 1. They follow soloists Britney Spears (between 1999 and 2003), DMX (his first five, 1998-2003) and Beyonce (five, 2003-2013).

- Four tallies the biggest week for an album by a group since One Direction’s previous effort, Midnight Memories, started with 546,000 on the Dec. 14, 2013-dated Billboard 200 chart (reflecting the sales week ending Dec. 1).

- Four is One Direction’s fourth No. 1 album in a row, in less than three years. They previously topped the list with their debut effort, Up All Night (on the list dated March 31, 2012), Take Me Home (Dec. 1, 2012) and Midnight Memories.

- In the history of the Billboard 200 chart, only three groups have reached No. 1 with their first four studio albums: One Direction, The Monkees (between 1966-1967) and The Kingston Trio (with their first five sets, 1958-1960). While all four of One Direction’s albums debuted at No. 1, The Monkees and The Kingston Trio’s releases climbed to No. 1 after entering the chart at a lower rank. (The chart didn’t see its first debut at No. 1 until 1975, when Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy started atop the list.)

- In total, just six acts have reached No. 1 with their first four studio releases: Beyonce, DMX, The Kingston Trio, The Monkees, One Direction and Britney Spears.

So, it appears that One Direction has released a One Direction album 4 years in a row. Avril Lavigne has 4 albums 9 years after her music career started in 2002 with Complicated and Arista’s Let Go. It appears that RCA and bratty songs lost Avril Lavigne is huge in America appearance and number 1 Avril Lavigne singles. Taylor Swift got 4 albums quicker and faster than Avril Lavigne after her fourth album, Red released 6 years after her debut album back in 2006. Girlfriend was lucky though since the song peaked at number 1 on the Hot 100 chart back in 2007 and RCA has backed up on that one. That’s because Avril Lavigne used to be popular back in 2002 as non-pop mainstream music (hip-hop and rock) took over during 2002 and Complicated peaked at number 1 on Adult Top 40 as Avril Lavigne broke a record set by Natalie Imbruglia's Torn when Complicated held the number one spot on the Adult Top 40 chart for 16 weeks in a row and Let Go sold more than 6 million copies in North America by the end of 2002 throughout US and Canada. But not anymore. After 2002, Avril Lavigne vanished in 2003 while I’m With You went big during 2003 along with the Losing Grip music video for MTV to watch. Then in 2004, general public lost interest to Avril Lavigne by the time RCA took over Arista’s Under My Skin and RCA start butchering Under My Skin by putting in the wrong singles like My Happy Ending and not letting He Wasn’t aired on MTV during 2005 and only in the UK in that year. Then RCA ruined Avril Lavigne by putting in bratty songs like Hot and making her dreadful third album, The Best Damn Thing, which lose fans for bashing the mega hilarious Girlfriend and began moving away from her after listening to the 6 times platinum Let Go and the messy post 2002 sophomore album, Under My Skin. RCA delayed her fourth album several times and Goodbye Lullaby lost her number 1 comebacks and Avril Lavigne’s new Max Martin songs like Wish You Were Her by putting in bratty songs that almost butchered Goodbye Lullaby like What The Hell. RCA will never want to work with Avril Lavigne again and RCA moved on to other artist like Britney Spears. By that time, Avril Lavigne’s post 2002 singles from 2004-2013 like My Happy Ending can get easily walled against other songs from 2004-today like Tim McGraw, Umbrella, Firework and Come And Get It. Why Avril Lavigne songs only appeal Complicated and not bother other songs like Here’s To Never Growing Up? Why 2004-today songs only appeal other songs like Mama’s Song and Alejandro? Let me guess, money. RCA and Sony Music hates Avril Lavigne. Who am I kidding? Rambling Avril Lavigne’s post 2002 problems aside and let’s get back to One Direction.

As you may know that One Direction is not an American artist much like non-US artists like Rihanna and Iggy Azalea. One Direction also marks the return of boy bands where we had Backstreet Boys and NSync back in 1995-2001 before 2002-2014 music like Carrie Underwood and Ariana Grande took over. Duh. One Direction only have to US number 1s, What Makes You Beautiful and Story Of My Life. Others like Best Song Ever doesn’t. Duh. So for members, we have Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and One Direction’s albums include Up All Night, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories and Four as I talked about earlier. One Direction’s singles from 2011-2014 includes What Makes You Beautiful, Gotta Be You, One Thing, More Than This, Live While We're Young, Little Things, Kiss You, Best Song Ever, Story of My Life, Midnight Memories, You & I, Steal My Girl, and Night Changes. There’s also a One Direction move called One Direction: This Is Us. Lol. Hold on a second, a One Direction movie? Do we need a One Direction movie? How about no, n, o, no. Music artists and moves don’t work together and never will. Let’s continue.

It appears that One Direction just made history, again. When Four debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, they became the only group in the chart's 58-year history to see their first four albums debut at the list's top slot. So how do One Direction's first-week album sales compare to other boy bands like Backstreet Boys?

According to Billboard, the world's biggest boy band moved 387,000 copies of Four in the week ending Nov. 23, according to Nielsen SoundScan. While that's more copies than the most recent releases from fellow pop stars Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus, it's a notable 29 percent drop from the first-week sales for their previous album.

Midnight Memories, which came out just last year, opened with 546,000 copies in its first week. Their previous album, 2012's Take Me Home, had a similar first week, moving 540,000 copies.

To reiterate, Four's opening week sales are still massive -- but this is the first 1D album since their debut not to cross the half-million mark in its opening week. And that album, Up All Night, came out before the boys were bona fide superstars in the U.S.

Despite their increasing fame and their maturing sound, 1D fever may slowly be cooling off. And there's nothing shocking about that. As a boy band grows up, so does their audience -- and not every tweenage fan sticks with their one-time crushes.

It's worth keeping in mind that overall album sales are down 13 percent compared to the same time a year ago, so it's a challenge for anyone to sell albums. (Still, Taylor Swift somewhat miraculously sold 1.287 million copies of 1989 in its first week -- her best sales week yet and the first album to shift more than a million since Swift's own Red two years ago.)

In the bar graphs above, we've rounded up the first-week sales for the first few studio albums from One Direction, 'N Sync, Backstreet Boys and the Jonas Brothers. So how does 1D's record sales history match up to their boy band predecessors?

In some respects, it's very similar.

'N Sync's three albums followed a similar sales path. Not close to superstardom when their self-titled album dropped in America, 'N Sync's first album sold just 14,000 its first week out (astonishing, right?). It would eventually become a hit, and by the time No Strings Attached dropped, the group sold nearly 2.5 million copies of its second album in its first week -- the largest sales week ever for an album since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991. But when their swan song, Celebrity, came out, sales slipped to 1,888,000 copies -- a 28 percent sales drop. That's pretty similar to the 29 percent sales drop 1D just saw with Four.

Backstreet, on the other hand, was a different story. Much like NSync, their first album's first-week sales were wildly below the peaks they were soon to reach – they became superstars in America after the first record dropped. Their second album, Millennium, moved 1,134,000 copies in its first week, while Black & Blue sold 1,591,000 in its debut week. But Backstreet went on a two-year hiatus at the peak of their fame. So when their fourth album dropped, the massive sales slip they saw -- Never Gone moved just 291,000 in its first week -- was partly due to the fact that they'd reformed at a point when boy bands were very much passé.

What about the Jonas Brothers? First off, yes, we know the JoBros played their own instruments are wrote their own songs, which makes them remarkably different from other boy bands. But the JoBros made teen pop/rock, they were marketed as teen heartthrobs, and they were quite literally a band made up of boys. It's fair to compare them to other boy bands.

Although their career got off to a slow start (their first album, It's About Time, sold just 10,000 in its first week), by the time their third album, A Little Bit Longer, rolled around, it broke half-million sales in its first week. And even though their fourth did quite well, it saw a similar drop to 1D's fourth -- Lines, Vines and Trying Times opened with 247,000.

Despite the Jonas's success, it took 1D to make boy bands cool again. And even if no one else has replicated their incredible international domination, America is safer place for boy bands thanks to 1D.

Whether 1D's next album will follow the gradual sales slip most boy bands seem to experience after their third or fourth album -- or come back with another half-million selling LP -- remains to be seen.

Well it seems that Four earns the second-largest sales debut of the year, and the biggest week overall for a group with 387,000 sold in the US in the week ending Nov. 23, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Only Taylor Swift’s 1989 was larger, with its 1.287 million start. Pretty impressive for a One Direction album like this one.

So what do you think? What do you think about One Direction's Four sold 387,000 copies in the US during its first week? Sound Off below!
