Taio Cruz-es to 2nd Pop Songs no.1

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 07:57:07 +0000

After no solo male artists had started their discographies with 2 No. One entries on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio airplay chart between its beginning in 1992 and last year, 2 such vocalists have accomplished the achievement this year. Taio Cruz becomes just the second male soloist to top Pop Songs with his first 2 charted tracks, as “Dynamite” rises 2-1. The English frontman / tunesmith / producer spent 3 weeks at No. 1 with his debut single “Break Your Heart,” featuring Ludacris, beginning May. Cruz joins Jason Derulo, whose “Whatcha Say” started a four-week reign on the Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs total in Nov . His “In My Head” followed with a fourteen day rule beginning Apr. Derulo is aiming towards a noteworthy 3rd successive career-opening leader on Pop Songs with “Ridin ‘ Solo,” which bullets at No. Seven for a 5th successive week. “Break Your Heart” and “Dynamite” appear on Cruz’s first album, “Rokstarr,” which opened at its No. Eight top to-date on the Poster advertisement two hundred in June.

Even arriving with one introductory No. One on Pop Songs is a rare attainment. Before Derulo and Cruz, 9 solo males had reached the apex in their first visits to the chart : Shawn Mullins ( “Lullaby,” 1998 ), Eagle Eye Cherry ( “Save Tonight,” 1998 ), Ricky Martin ( “Livin ‘ La Vida Loca,” 1999 ), Lou Bega ( “Mambo No. Five ( a small amount of … ),” 2k ), Gavin DeGraw ( “I do not really wish to Be,” 2005 ), Chris Brown ( “Run It!,” 2005 ), Ne-Yo ( “So Sick,” 2006 ), Flo Rida ( “Low,” 2008 ) and Jay Sean ( “Down,” featuring Lil Wayne, 2009 ).

Beyonce Caught Texting while Driving

You can get away with lots of stuff if your name is Beyonc, but one thing you reputedly can’t get away with is texting while driving. According to Star, the pop star was pulled over earlier this summer for texting while she was behind the wheel. The world icon was soon ticketed. The work elaborates: ‘Beyonc was actually embarrassed as she just recently got her driver’s license. She attempted to charm that cop and told him she had no clue that texting while driving was against the law.

He had no clue who she was. He just slapped her with the ticket, which was more valuable than $100!’ a spy witness chuckles.

Having studied Beyonc’s misfortune, we are making a guess this spy witness returned to his standard routine of playing X-Box Live in his mother’s cellar. But in all seriousness, Beyonc, what are you thinking? Don’t you have helpers and chauffeurs to text and drive for you? Better to leave this to the pros.

In a different story, Beyonce to appear on Britain’s Next Top Model.

Make efforts to tune into Britain’s Next Top Model on Monday because Beyonce will be making a special appearance. The soulful diva will challenge the leftover 10 hopeful models to record a commercial for her new perfume, Heat. Beyonce follows Nicola Roberts ‘ latest guest appearance. The Girls out loud frontman joined the show’s judging panel. Snagging such an A-lister has left plenty in the U.S. Thinking about why America’s Next Top Model can not do the same. Let us know, will you be tuning in next Monday to watch Beyonce on BNTM?

LCD Plasma TV!

If you don’t include a flat screen television by now, I’m sure it won’t be long before you’ll also be buying one. You might be getting yourself a plasma television or an LCD television. No matter which type, you still need to install it suitably on your wall, maybe on top of the fireplace in a prominent location.

If you are very usable with tools, you’ll like to read this article as you might need a little things that you have to budget for in that case.

First of all the question that is for the most part essential is where will you place your flat screen TV. Most probably you’re thinking of putting it on the wall. Quite good enough. However you need to purchase a a small amount of things. For example you need a television outlet that is installed at the same height that you want your TV. Also you need some HDMI cables for the reason that using regular cables will destroy some decent view that a guest will have of your brand new living space, and this is why. While you use a standard television jack to mount your screen, you’ll be inflicted with lots of hanging wires that you won’t know what to do about. They’ll simply be there on the wall behind your fireplace for every person to observe. This is quite an hideous view which sadly many newer homes have.

So get yourself a pair of HDMI cables that will run through the walls to cover your cables away from prying eyes. Unfortunately this will not be a discounted experience, because you might have to foot the bill for around $400-$500. But in the long run it is well worth it considering that you’ll take part in as an finish result a beautiful living room with a gorgeous television over your fireplace that you, your family and guests will like watching for a long time to come.

An extra widget that you absolutely need to purchase is a corner TV mount to properly mount your new state of art television on the wall.

Copyright Laws Need to Be Changed to Deal with Music Videos on the Internet

admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:32:25 +0000

People around the world want to connect and interact with content online. We expect to be able to sit at our computer, or walk along with our mobile phone, and have content at our fingertips. The internet enables just that, and in doing so has shifted community expectations about access to content.

It is challenging for traditional copyright laws to adapt to the online environment, as was noted by WIPO director-general Francis Gurry in his address to the National Press Club in August.

In Mr Gurry’s words: ”It is not necessarily by putting teenagers in jail that we are going to be able to deal with this extremely serious problem.”

Managing copyright online presents some of the most difficult technical and legal challenges on the internet – in part because global rights ownership and management are exceedingly complicated.

For example, music videos often have many different content owners who own different components of the video and audio. One party may own the video, another party the soundtrack and yet another the musical composition. You get the picture.

As a lawyer for YouTube, I am familiar with the challenges and excited about the potential solutions. I believe it’s important that content owners, service providers and the public tackle this proactively. We see a lot of focus on combating copyright infringement. But do we see enough focus on the experimentation that is happening with new business models and the copyright tools that will make those new business models possible?

YouTube aims to be a comprehensive video platform, and its business model is based on revenue sharing.

The more YouTube can help content owners generate revenue from their content, the more great content they can make, which helps them build a larger audience, and brings more people online to watch video.

To give content owners control of their content on YouTube, we’ve invested significantly in a system called Content ID, which is capable of automatically detecting and managing content on YouTube.

Believe it or not, matching uploaded videos with reference files given to us by content owners is actually the easy part.

The hard part is figuring out what to do with a video once a content owner’s rights in it have been identified.

YouTube is now monetising more than a billion video views worldwide for our partners every week. And we are committed to seeing this number grow.
