CHARICE f/IYAZ "Pyramid" (143/Reprise)

Every once in awhile a young talent comes along with an extraordinary voice that leaves you thinking he or she could be “the next…” Charice is “the next” and her vocal talent is special! The 17 year old Filipino singer made her North American debut at 15 on the Ellen show in 2007, but it may have been one of her numerous appearances on Oprah where you remember seeing Charice work her vocal prowess covering classic songs such as “And I’m Telling You” from Dreamgirls and Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.” Or, you may have been one of the 25 million who have seen her on YouTube. There’s no doubt having that kind of exposure can open many doors, and the timing couldn't be any better for Charice's debut single. "Pyramid" is a gem of a Pop song with multi-format potential. It sure doesn’t hurt that chart topper Iyaz is also featured. The combination, as odd as it may seem at first, is what makes great songs become HIT songs! Charice is destined to become one of the next great voices in Pop music! That alone makes her an “Artist To Watch” in 2010!


Lady Gaga has also announced her highly anticipated return to North America on the heels of her sold-out European tour. The 2010 North American leg of f The Monster Ball Tour, presented by Virgin Mobile, will begin on June 28 at Montreal’s Bell Centre, taking her spectacular show to 31 top arenas and a host of new cities in the U.S. and Canada throughout the summer and fall. In keeping with Lady Gaga’s flair for the theatrical, as well as her innovative and creative spirit, the second leg of the tour promises to push the limits of the live concert experience, bringing fans a spectacle even more eye-popping than what they experienced during the thrilling first leg of The Monster Ball.

Justin Bieber will hit the road on his first-ever headlining tour of North America. Bieber will play a mix of arenas and state fairs throughout the summer, starting in Hartford, CT on June 23. Sean Kingston will open the tour. In conjunction with Bieber's My World tour and his upcoming My World 2.0 album, the "Bieber Fever" fanclub website has launched at bieberfever.com. My World 2.0 will be out next Tuesday, March 23.

Paramore will headline this summer's Honda Civic Tour, with Tegan and Sara opening all dates. More opening acts will be announced in the future. The trek begins on July 23 in Raleigh, NC, with a complete itinerary on the way later this month.

Kings Of Leon now have their own iPhone game, created by Tapulous, the makers of Tap Tap Revenge. Kings Of Leon Revenge features 10 of the band's songs and is available from the Apple App Store.

On March 30, The Black Eyed Peas will hit the big screen as their concert performance from Los Angeles is transmitted live in movie theaters nationwide. Broadcast from the Staples Center to nearly 500 movie theaters, The Black Eyed Peas: The E.N.D. World Tour Live will feature a 30-minute exclusive program for movie theater audiences, including behind-the-scenes footage and band interviews. Tickets for The Black Eyed Peas: The E.N.D.
