"(You Want To) Make a Memory" was the first single to be lifted from Bon Jovi's tenth studio album "Lost Highway." The song debuted at #39 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and was the highest debuting song of the week. After repeatedly moving up and down on the Hot Country Songs charts, it reached a peak of #35. The song was also a "Hot Shot" on the Billboard Hot 100, the band's highest debut on the chart of their career. However, in the UK the single only peaked at #33, Bon Jovi's worst performance in the UK singles chart since "Living in Sin" in 1989.

The song is currently nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo/Group with Vocals at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

"Stole" was one of the first tracks that Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland worked on while recording her debut solo album.

Pressure laid high on Kelly's shoulders after various #1s with her band Destiny's Child and "Dilemma." However, the single managed to continue her series of hits seamlessly as "Stole" entered the Top 20 on the majority of the charts it appeared on. In the end it even reached the Top 10 of the singles charts in Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland and in the UK.

In the United States the song saw moderate success when it debuted at #92 on the Billboard Hot 100. Five weeks later it reached its peak position at #27, eventually leaving the Hot 100 after just twelve weeks.

In 2001 ITV's talent show Popstars was on the lookout for five girls, or boys, to be part of a group, that would go on to try and make it big in the charts. Kym Marsh was one of the lucky ones who impressed judges with her vocal talent.

After becoming one of the chosen five for the group now called Hear'Say, Kym and the group hit the #1 spot with their both debut single "Pure & Simple" and also with their album "Popstars." The media were quick to savage the group, and scrutinise their every move. The band enjoyed one more single before tensions started to emerge. After Hear'Say released an unsuccessful second album, Kym broke news that she was leaving the band.

After a while out of the spotlight, Kym emerged again, signing a solo record deal with Island Records. Her first single, "Cry," went to #2 in the UK singles chart, whilst her 2nd single "Come On Over" made #10. Kym's make-or-break 3rd single, "Sentimental," stalled at #35 resulting in her being dropped by Island Records.

"Soulmate" was the second single to be released from Natasha Bedingfield's sophomore album "N.B."

Despite warm reception from fans, the single was not a favourite of music critics. Paul Taylor of the Manchester Evening News called the song "impassioned" and IndieLondon.co.uk called the track "far too sentimental," rating it two out of five stars.

"Soulmate" debuted on the UK singles chart at #70 before climbing to its peak position of #7 three weeks later. The single was a moderate success in Europe as well. It reached the Top 10 in Switzerland and Norway and the Top 20 in Austria, Finland, Germany, Spain and Poland.

Like many of his peers, teen heartthrob Joey Lawrence saw himself as a man of many talents. As an actor, he captured the hearts of millions of teenage girls on the hit TV show "Blossom." Naturally, the next step was music.

In 1993, Joey released his self-titled debut album through MCA Records. Working with such music heavyweights as Ian Price, Teddy Riley and Elliot Wolff, Joey had what seemed to be a hit on his hands. His debut single, "Nothin' My Love Can't Fix," charted at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #13 in the UK singles chart. Two more singles from the album, "I can't Help Myself" and "Stay Forever," also managed to crack the UK Top 50.

The album was a sizeable hit and a follow-up was released some four years later to a mixed reception.

1. I Can't Help Myself

"It's About Time" was the second album from Christina Milian. Despite acheiving international success with her debut, Christina's music never caught on in her homeland of the United States. But Island Records gained some confidence in Christina the second go round, as the albums' first single, "Dip It Low," was getting early airplay and creating a buzz. It became her most successful single, charting at #2 in the UK and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The albums' second single release failed to set the charts alight, however, and just charted within the Billboard Hot 100 at #100 and barely cracked the UK Top 10.

The album debuted at #14 on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling over 36,000 copies in the first week, and #21 in the UK. However, after a few months, sales of the album were lackluster at 385,000 copies. The album was certified Silver in the UK on the 15th October 2004 for 60.000 copies sold. In 2005 "It's About Time" received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album.

"Don't" was the second single from Canuck Shania Twain's 2005 "Greatest Hits" album. The single received very little promotion and underperformed in most territories.

It debuted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart at #44, Twain's fourth highest debut of all time, and highest of the week. The single spent fifteen weeks on the chart and climbed to a peak position of #24, where it remained for one week. "Don't!" became Twain's first single to miss Top 20 since 2000's "Rock This Country!"

Released to adult contemporary radio in March 2005, "Don't!" debuted at #29. The single spent sixteen weeks on the chart and climbed to a peak position of #18, where it remained for four non-consecutive weeks. "Don't!" became Twain's tenth consecutive Top 20 single. However, across the pond, the single didn't fare quite as well. The single debuted and peaked at #30 in the UK, becoming her lowest-peaking single in the country. It fell to #57 in its second week and dropped off the chart immediately afterwards.

"Like Toy Soldiers" tells the story of Eminem's attempts to calm a violent community of rappers. He speaks openly about problems with The Source magazine and its editor Benzino, as well as Murder Inc. Records, and explains the feud between Ja Rule and 50 Cent. Despite not being released in the US, the song reached the top 40 Stateside and hit #1 in the UK.

The song's video, released in 2004, which depicts Eminem's fellow D12 member Proof being gunned down in a drive-by shooting, took a sudden and tragic turn in the early hours of April 11, 2006, when Proof was actually shot and killed at the CCC nightclub on Detroit's 8 Mile Road.

Wynonna & Naomi Judd were a mother-daughter duo known as The Judds in the country music industry from the early 1980s through the 1990s. Starting out while Wynonna was still in high school and Naomi was working as an RN, the duo were picked up by RCA to record their first full-length album.

The album reached #1 on the country charts and went on to sell more than a million copies - a huge feat for a new female country act. The song "Why Not Me" went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1986, as did "Mama He's Crazy" in 1985.

"Why Not Me" includes the duo's first Billboard #1 single on the Country music charts, "Mama He's Crazy, which was first released on their 1983 EP "Wynonna & Naomi." Three more singles from the album reached #1 on the country charts: "Why Not Me", "Girls Night Out", and "Love Is Alive."

In 1991, the Judds retired from the music business as a duo due to Naomi's hepatitis, a disease she contracted from a needle prick working as an RN. Wynonna trucked on, however, having even more crossover appeal than the duo and acheiving many Billboard Hot 100 hits as well as successful singles in Europe and Australia.

"In My Mind" was the first solo album by NERD frontman Pharrell Williams. The album was originally scheduled to be released at the end of 2005 but was delayed after lackluster airplay for the albums' two already-released singles.

The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard album chart behind former Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett and a NOW! compilation, barely selling 140,000 copies. The album fell to #9 in its second week and dropped like a stone from there despite single releases from high-profile guests Gwen Stefani and Kanye West. To date the album has sold just under 890,000 copies worldwide.

The album received generally poor reviews from critics. Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone called it "still only so-so, offering a series of modestly tuneful, sometimes snoozy soul-pop-hip-hop songs". Entertainment Weekly said the album "seems divided against itself, rest assured that all of the songs have something in common: They're not remotely catchy". Despite the negative reviews and low sales, the album was surprisingly nominated for in Best Rap Album category at the 2007 Grammy Awards. Not to surprisingly, though, it lost out to Ludacris' "Release Therapy."

Wilson Phillips reunited in 2004 to release "California," an album of lazy, beach-inspired cover songs.

The album failed to ever reach sales of over 100,000.

The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #53 before peaking at #42.

After the $ucce$$ that was "You Won't Forget About Me," Dannii Minogue & her label, All Around the World, attempted to use the same formula for another single release. Once again, Dannii wrote lyrics for an instrumental club track that was already doing the rounds in Europe. The original track, "Turn Me Upside Down," heavily sampled the Vicki Sue Robinson classic "Turn the Beat Around" and was produced by up-and-coming DJ duo The Soul Seekerz, who have since remixed and produced a number of successful tunes.

What came from the collaboration was a song called "Perfection." The remix promo was leaked surprisingly early on the Internet and was sent to clubs not long after. Neither the song or video were picked up for major airplay and the single, which was tipped to become Dannii's first UK #1, limped into the UK singles chart at #11. It was, however, another UK Club hit, topping that particular chart. The single didn't fare any better in her native Australia either, charting at a mediocre #13. It also charted in the Top 20 in Holland and Finland but failed to garner any other notable chart success. Dannii quickly moved on and released her next single and a greatest hits compilation the following year.

"Perfection" is another Dannii CD that I was lucky enough to have signed last year!

"We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight" was the fourth and last single to be released from Baby Spice Emma Bunton's debut solo album, "A Girl Like Me". Released on 10th December 2001, the week before the race for the Christmas #1, the single was ignored by the public. It wans't helped by the fact that during part of the major promotional period, Emma took a 2-week promotional trip to Australia - which meant that promotion in the UK for the song was disjointed, and so the song didn't have a positive impact on music buyers.

Even though the single was eventually well-promoted, the single only went to #20 in the UK singles charts, selling 13,000 copies in its first week, and just 35,000 copies altogether. The song only spent five weeks in the Top 75, but had a good Top 40 chart run, spending three weeks around the mid-thirties.

The single was, at the time, the lowest-charting Spice Girls-related single to date. Because of its failure, Emma became the second Spice Girl to be dropped from Virgin Records following Scary Spice Mel B's departure earlier in the year.

Kelly Clarkson made her debut under RCA Records after she won the highly publicized first season of the television series "American Idol" in 2002. The albums' first official single was a track called "Miss Independent," which was one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2003.

The producer and co-writer of the track, Lawrence, had originally given the chorus to Destiny's Child. After they did not record it, Christina Aguilera was offered the chorus, and she incorporated verses written by Matt Morris and continued to co-write with Lawrence. Lawrence was later informed that Christina was not going to finish and use the song because she had found another rock style song that she preferred. Two years later, Lawrence played the song for Kelly. They finished the lyrics and made new additions to the song, eventually using it as the first single from her upcoming long-delayed album "Thankful." Although Lawrence was never in any way asked, informally or officially, to hold or save the song for Christina, she was not pleased that the track had been given to someone else, and at one point there was talk of a possible lawsuit. Fortunately, the matter was able to be settled.

The track went on to peak at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and also peaked in the Top 10 in the UK, Australia, Canada and Holland.

"Can't Hold Us Down" was the fourth single released from Christina Aguilera's second mainstream album "Stripped." Released in the summer of 2003, the single peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her tenth Top 20 hit in the US. Internationally, the song peaked within the Top 10 in the UK, Ireland and Australia and several other countries, and reached #2 in New Zealand. In 2004, it was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

Originally, Eve was booked to be the guest rapper on this song. The rapper-actress even commented about it on MTV news saying that she had collaborated with Christina on a female-empowering anthem for her upcoming album. However, as the release date of the album approached, Lil' Kim was revealed to be the actual guest on the record without any explanation of what happened to Eve. Many speculate that Kim might have forced her away upon the record. At the time she was dating Scott Storch and might have had a slight rivalry against Eve, and therefore asked Storch to replace Eve with herself on the record.

"Feels So Good" was the third single to be released from Scary Spice Mel B's debut solo album "Hot." This single was promoted well and had a nice, big-budget video to back it up. It was originally due to be released on 11th December 2000, but Melanie needed a break after promoting the album and the new Spice Girls releases. It was also a bad time to release the single, as major competition from more established artists were also releasing new material. Virgin Records decided to put back the release for two months and it was eventually released on 19th February 2001.

The single reached #5 in the UK singles chart, selling 55,000 copies in its first week (a very high figure for a #5 position), and a very pleasing 139,100 copies altogether - and was, quite shockingly, the 80th best seller of 2001. "Feels So Good" helped the floundering album rise back up to #95 in the UK album chart in February 2001, but sadly this was the only time the album re-entered the chart.

"Independent Women Part I" was the first release by Destiny's Child as a trio following the departure of Farrah Franklin. Released as both the theme to the "Charlie's Angels" movie and album's first single in fall 2000, the song held the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 consecutive weeks. It was in the 2000-2001 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records for longest running song by a female group.

In the US, the song also broke the record for the most radio spins in one week and the record for most audience impressions after reaching a staggering 140.4 million listeners. The single also became the group's first ever #1 single in the UK and sold over 421,000 copies. It also reached the #1 position in New Zealand for a week, peaked within the Top 5 placings in Canada, Australia and Switzerland, and charted within the Top 20 in France and Japan.

Christina Aguilera's self-titled debut album came at a time when blonde pop tarts were reigning over the music industry. Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson were receiving huge airplay on radio and television and selling millions of records and RCA thought they had something with a young Christina.

The album surpassed industry expectations when it debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album charts thanks to the help of her single "Genie in a Bottle," which had already spent five weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the release of the album. The number-one single and the number-one album made her the first new female artist since Britney Spears earlier that year to have both her debut single and debut album reach number one, and because of that, Christina was immediately labeled Britney's rival.

The album proved to have some longevity as it stayed in the top fifteen throughout the 1999 holiday season, even working its way back into the top five thanks to its second single "What a Girl Wants" which had topped the charts by the end of 1999. As the year closed, Aguilera's debut album had already sold four million copies, and by the end of 1999, Aguilera had already become a household name.

In February 2000, she won Best New Artist at the 2000 Grammy Awards. The Grammy win and the continuing success of "What a Girl Wants" propelled the album back into the Top 5 in the US, and by the end of February 2000, Aguilera's debut album had already gone 6x platinum.

A re-release of the album coincided with the release of her fourth single, "Come on over Baby (All I Want Is You)", which became her third US #1 and helped her album reach a certification of 8x platinum by the end of the year.

"Sexbox" was the first single lifted from La Toya Jackson's 1991 "No Relations" album. A huge promotional campaign from Pump Records boosted sales of the single in Holland and Germany, charting at #25 on the Dutch singles chart. "Sexbox" became La Toya's second biggest hit in holland behind her debut single "If You Feel the Funk" in 1980.

Along with promotion of the single and album, La Toya was sent on a promotional tour to hype the release of her best-selling autobiography, "La Toya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family" and her second appearance in Playboy. Despite the hoopla surrounding the book's release, La Toya couldn't drum up enough interest in her music and nothing else was released through Pump Records.

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates this past week. I was out of town for a few days and when I got back, I tried uploading things to Mediafire but it was apparently on the fritz. The download links here wouldn't work either.

Anyway, this message is to tell you all about a new feature I'm implementing into the blog. I'm starting a bi-monthly download called "Essentials" which is basically all of an artist's biggest hits (and in some cases, flops) in one collection. Packed to the brim, each "Essentials" download will consist of as many songs that would fit into an eighty-minute disc!

The Jennifer Lopez "Essentials" collection is uploading now and will be available for download in a bit!

"Doesn't Really Matter" was the lead single from the Universal Pictures film "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps", in which Janet Jackson co-starred with actor Eddie Murphy. It became Jackson's ninth #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and first in the 2000s, staying atop the chart for three weeks. It also made her the first artist in history to score #1 singles in the '80s, '90s, and '00s.

Miss Jackson didn't think that the song would be as big a hit as it was, as she just wrote it for the film. In addition to topping the US charts, it landed in the Top 20 in more than a dozen other countries.

When the Backstreet Boys decided to take a short hiatus in 2001 the most popular member of the band, Nick, was ready to strike out on his own. Jive Records sent him into the studio to cut a solo record. Branding him a young Bryan Adams, Jive was confident that Nick could stand on his own without the other Backstreet Boys by his side.

His debut solo single, "Help Me," was released mid-2002 to mixed reviews. The Bryan Adams influence was definately there, in both sound an image. The track proved to be mildly popular with the video receiving heavy rotation in the US and Australia. Charts don't lie, however, and neither the single or album were performing up to par. Jive quickly rushed out another two singles (each released in different markets) and gave up on the album. *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake would soon be embarking on his own solo career and Jive changed their focus.

Nick soon went back into the studio to record with the Backstreet Boys and also record a follow-up which has never seen the light of day.

"Don't Tell Me" was the second single lifted from Madonna's 2000 album "Music." The track was originally written by Joe Henry, Madonna's brother-in-law. He recorded the track on its own, simply called "Stop", which was released on his 2001 album "Scar." His wife, Melanie, sent a demo of the track to her sister, who recorded her own version.

"Don't Tell Me" peaked at #4 on the U.S. charts and spent 8 weeks in the Top 10. The song was also a huge hit around the world, peaking in the Top 5 in many countries, going in at #2 in Canada and #4 in the UK. It also went to number one in Ireland, and stayed in the key position for three weeks.

After the success of her first album, Melanie C went back into the studio to record what would become her second and final album for Virgin Records. The first single, "Here it Comes Again," didn't stack up to the success of her previous work, charting at #7 in the UK and barely scraping the Top 20 in countries across Europe.

For the albums' second single, Virgin initially decided to take a different approach. "On the Horizon" was set to be released in the UK only, with "Positively Somewhere" being released worldwide and "Let's Love" being released in Japan. However, as the release dates were approaching, Virgin decided against this plan. "On the Horizon" was now going to be released everywhere except Japan, where "Let's Love" was being used in an automobile campaign, therefore receiving a single release.

The track featured production from Gregg Alexander, formerly of the New Radicals, so both Melanie C and her fans were confident that "On the Horizon" would fare well. Unfortunately, they were proven wrong when the charts were released the following week. The single failed to crack the Top 10, peaking at #14 in the UK and did no better anywhere else.

"Amazed" is a track that was originally recorded by popular country band Lonestar and released as a single from the band's album "Lonely Grill." The song spent 8 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 1999 and crossed over to pop radio, climbing to number #24.

"Amazed" was remixed for mainstream radio (a tactic commonly used to present country-leaning songs to non-country audiences) and the new mix's popularity prompted a re-entry in the Hot 100. On its second chart run, the track went to number one for two weeks in March of 2000.
