Jingle Ball is a great way to end the year & with new music its guaranteed this is one concert you cannot miss. December 5th is a date you might want to write down as Taylor Swift & recent new artists gather at the Nokia Theatre in L.A!

Music is one of the most demanded things in the entertainment industry. The sound of the human race is underneath everything in life. We are constantly listening to music or hearing our favorite songs in television shows or blockbuster movies. Some people believe that music sings what we cannot possibly say. Music is an outlet for most people & with new music comes new artists.


At age 15, R&B singer Justin Bieber has released two smash singles, both placing him on the itunes top 20 list. In 2008 renowned singer & performer Usher discovered the young talent & Bieber was then signed to Island Records. Justin Bieber will be releasing his first studio album titled ‘My World’ November 17 2009.
One of the most popular club duos this year is LMFAO. LMFAO consist of Redfoo & Sky Blu. The boys got their name after Sky Blu had an Internet conversation with his grandmother. The boys have released singles such as ‘Im In Miami Trick’, ‘Shots’ & ‘La La La’. LMFAO released their first studio album ‘Party Rock’ back in July & they are now headlining their own tour with other up & coming artist such as Far East Movement, Space Cowboy, Paradiso Girls & Shwayze.
Shwayze, another two-man group,consist of Cisco Adler & Aaron Smith. The boys have released singles such as ‘Buzzin’ & the most recent single ‘Get U Home’ which was featured in the recent horror film ‘Sorority Row’. Shwayze will release their second studio album ‘Let It Beat’ November 3, 2009.
If you’ve been in a dancing mood or if you have recently been to any clubs, then, you  most likely  have come across hit singles such as ‘Tik Tok’, ‘Down’ & ‘Whatcha Say’. ‘Tik Tok’ is the first single from Pop-Electro Ke$ha. We were first introduced to Ke$ha when she collaborated with Flo Rida in the hit single ‘Right Round’. ‘Tik Tok’ has been featured on many television shows & will soon be available on Ke$ha’s first studio album. Another recent club banger has been British pop-R&B singer Jay Sean. Jay Sean provided the hit “Down’ which has blown up all over clubs & radios. Signed to Cash Money Records Jay Sean has most recently announced his new single ‘Ride It’. Jay Sean has tasted success before in the UK but is now making his way in the US, and we love him! Look for his new album ‘All or Nothing’ later this year.
Music is a big factor in the world today. We are always buying, downloading, burning & listening to music. New music is always among us & with up & coming artists such as these the pop music fan is taken care of.
