Calling all Glamberts!

Yesterday, former Idol contestant, part-time Queen frontman and full-time Outlaw of Love Adam Lambert made history by becoming the first LGBT artist in history to top (ALRIGHT, SIMMER DOWN) the Billboard 200 chart at #1, selling over 77,000 copies and knocking fellow Idol alum Carrie Underwood‘s Blown Away. A huge day for Adam, and an even huger day for the gay community. Kudos, Mr. Lambert!

Still haven’t heard the album yet? Well, don’t be Shady! I got you! To celebrate the release…

If you’ve not already heard “Titanium” on the radio, Sia‘s massive dance floor anthem crafted alongside David Guetta (and one of my Top 10 Singles of 2011!), fear not–you’re about to.

Having already peaked at #1 across the pond in the UK in early February (as well as hitting Top 10 in dozens of other countries), the track now stands at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100, already a giant leap up from last week’s #79.

To celebrate, MuuMuse is giving away 5 “Titanium” prize packs.

Each prize pack contains ONE remix CD featuring mixes by Alesso, Nicky Romero and more, plus ONE “Titanium” T-shirt which looks like…THIS! To enter to win, simply leave a comment below with the following phrase:

I AM TITANIUM!

Five winners will be contacted via email on Monday, May 14. US entries only, please!

Good luck, godspeed, and stay strong. Remember: YOU ARE TITANIUM.

Grab your spray cans, ladyboys and girls: It’s time to get tagging!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been doing nothing else but strutting down the city streets (my bedroom at night), rocking the latest fashions (my Pillsbury Dough Boy pajamas) and whipping my ponytail (my panda hat) to Vampire Diaries diva Kat Graham‘s sassy new single, “Put Your Graffiti On Me.”

(In case you haven’t seen the whiplash-inducing, ponytail-flipping, animal print party that is the video, you’ll want to go ahead and view that immediately.)

Now, it’s time for some more fun to celebrate with some tagged copies of Miss Graham’s latest smash.

That’s right…SHE PUT HER NAME ON IT!

MuuMuse is giving away six signed copies of Kat Graham’s “Put Your Graffiti On Me.”

To enter to win, simply leave a comment on this post with the phrase–you guessed it:

TAG ME!

Six winners will be randomly selected and notified on Thursday, May 3.

Along with the contest, MuuMuse is Excluusively premiering the official video for the FIYAH hot Huffine Mucci‘s “Tagged” remix, which you can now check out below. Drink up this bottle of yeah!

In case you’ve somehow not yet heard (how’s that cave you’re living in? spacious?), the boys of The Wanted have at long last unleashed their debut American EP this week.

The 10-track collection features tracks from both 2010′s The Wanted and 2011′s Battleground–including #1 UK singles “All Time Low” and “Glad You Came”–as well as two new songs: the Example-penned “Chasing The Sun,” and the unbelievably amazing Ryan Tedder-produced “Satellite.” (Evidently the boys have their sights set on conquering outer space next.)

To celebrate the release, MuuMuse is giving away

Five winners will be selected and notified on Wednesday, May 2. North American entries only, please.

And while you’re at it, check out the official clip for “Chasing The Sun,” which just premiered earlier this week. I won’t spoil the plot, but the moral of the story is this: Never trust a woman with a tattoo.

Calling all Barbs!

Last week, rapper/singer/professional dick-in-your-facer Nicki Minaj released her sophomore record, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which just debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 this week. (While you’re at it, check out the MuuMuse review of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded now!)

Last year, speak-songstress Dev ruled the radio airwaves with her gigantic “Calabria”-esque club smash, “In The Dark.”

And then, the slight bump in the road–a baby bump, to be exact.

Yep: Dev got pregnant, and the campaign took a backseat while the mommy-to-be focused on preparing for her other full-time career. But now that newborn daughter Emilia is happy and healthy, Dev’s back on track and ready to push out her other baby–The Night The Sun Came Up.

Dev’s solo debut, which was produced entirely by The Cataracs, is more than you might have expected from the “Like A G6″ songstress: Apart from the many reliably slick club bangas (“In My Trunk,” “Lightspeed”) and moody temptations (“Kiss My Lips”), there’s a solid chunk of surprisingly lovely and introspective piano-led cuts as well (“Getaway,” “Perfect Match”), helping to paint Dev as deeper than simply a bass lovin’ club-trotter.

And so, to celebrate the release…

MuuMuse is proud to be giving away 3 copies of The Night The Sun Came Up.

To enter to win, simply tweet me with the following phrase:

I want to watch the sun come up with @MuuMuse and @DEVisHot! http://bit.ly/Hj0YRP

Three winners will be randomly selected and notified on Thursday, April 12. Good luck!

PS: Last Thursday, the speak-songstress released her incredibly sexy clip for “Naked,” which features Enrique Iglesias as they go for a stroll down the Las Vegas strip. (For the record, Enrique can blow on my dice anytime.) Check it!

The Night The Sun Came Up was released on March 26. (iTunes)

Today, DJ/producer extraordinaire Morgan Page unleashes his third studio album In The Air, which features cuts with some of my favorite acts–including Tegan & Sara, Angela McCluskey and Nadia Ali. (Didn’t catch the album review posted earlier this morning? Check it out now!)

And so, to celebrate the release…

MuuMuse is proud to be giving away an In The Air prize pack.

Happy 1st Anniversary, Femme Fatale!

One year ago today, Britney shut our mouths and turned us Inside Out with the release of
her brilliant seventh studio album, Femme Fatale.

Starting off with the major bang that was “Hold It Against Me” (original review) back on January 10, 2011, the promotional campaign saw the living legend look (Drop Dead) Beautiful in the pages of V, Out and Glamour, take to the stage at Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel and the 2011 Billboard Music Awards with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, take home the Video Vanguard Award at the 2011 MTV VMAs and embark on a major tour across the world.

Femme Fatale spawned four Hot 100 charting singles in total, including “Hold It Against Me” (#1), “Till The World Ends (#3), “I Wanna Go” (#7) and “Criminal” (#55).

The album also broke dozens of records: Femme Fatale became Britney’s first album to have three Top Ten Hot 100 singles in a row, “Hold It Against Me” became Britney’s fourth #1 and broke the record for the fastest one-week spin increase at radio, “Till The World Ends” became Britney’s biggest radio hit of her entire career–well, until “I Wanna Go,” which became an even bigger smash on the radio and her 12th Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit. Plus, Femme Fatale and The Femme Fatale Tour DVD have gone platinum since their release.

Along the way, we met Pandahatney and Awkwardney, slurped some delicious sweet tea, battled our inner demons, got stuck in a few manholes, became lactose intolerant and stole a few vanilla candles. When all was said and done, there was no doubt that 2011 was truly the Year of the Spears.

So if I said I wanted to celebrate this album now…would you Hold It Against Me?

MuuMuse is proud to be giving away
One Premium Fan Edition of Femme Fatale.

To enter to win, leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite part of the Femme Fatale era and why.

In 2010, Katy Perry released her sugary-sweet sophomore record, Teenage Dream.

The album spawned Objectively Amazing Pop Singles “Teenage Dream” and “E.T.”, the Ke$ha-biting “California Gurls” and “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”, penis appreciation anthem “Peacock,” ‘It Gets Better’ bandwagon jumper “Firework,” and the Alanis-lite “Circle The Drain” (which I may or may not angrily lip-sync for my life alone in my bedroom at night.)

This week, the pop star has unleashed Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, a repackaged version of her 2010 record with three previously unreleased tracks, remixes and a brand new album megamix by Tommie Sunshine.

Despite my wariness about Ms. Perry as a pop star, Teenage Dream is a truly solid pop record. Plus, it’s well documented that I quite love her new single, “Part Of Me.” (The other new track on the Complete Confection–”Wide Awake”–is pretty great too.) Therefore…

MuuMuse is giving away 3 COPIES of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.

In order to win, send me an email with the subject line “KATY CONFECTION” telling me your favorite song off of Teenage Dream and why.

Three winners will be selected and notified on Tuesday, April 3. US entrants only.

Check out the full album tracklisting is under the cut. Good luck!
