Vai parir? Quando sairam as indicações, todo mundo cogitou a possibilidade do Grammy 2009 ser um programa legal para um domingo à noite . Afinal, não é sempre que o prêmio tem indicados que efetivamente fizeram música boa no ano que passou, como Radiohead, Coldplay, Lil Wayne, M.I.A. Então, agora está confirmado que o Grammy, que acontece nesse domingo (08/02) às 23h, vai ser legal em 2009, se não for histórico. Por que? Então, pelo menos para mim, um prêmio que têm show de Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Smokey Robinson, U2 e Stevie Wonder, [...]

![The 9513 Works Hard To Prove Country Music Still Has A Pulse [Listening Station]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1449101_lg.jpg)
You can usually count on country music blog The 9513 to be a solid source for news within the genre, so it's not surprising that their top 50 songs of '08 list is full of solid picks from No. 1 on down. Plus, there's music by the adorable Joey + Rory scattered throughout, which should appeal to all three Can You Duet fans out there . 9513 's top three, via the magic of YouTube, below the cut. No. 3: Lee Ann [...]
![New Orleans Jazzfest Really Serious About The Whole "Something For Everyone" Concept [Lineups]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1410603_lg.jpg)
Aretha Franklin, Wynton Marsalis, Erykah Badu, Spoon, Sharon Jones, Mavis Staples, and Etta James are but a few of the artists slated to play the 40th-anniversary edition of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which takes place over the weekends of April 24-26 and April 30-May 3. (This festival's concession to the tough economic times: Discount packages! But don't worry, those of you who still want to live large can overspend on indulge in a VIP setup.) Huge list of names—which is only a partial lineup!—after the jump. [...]
![Weezy Shows Up At The CMAs And... Air Guitars?! [Everybody's A Winner]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1351359_lg.jpg)
When I heard that Lil Wayne was going to show up to perform with Kid Rock at the Country Music Awards last night, I got pretty excited. I'm not what you'd call a Kid Rock fan, but lately I've been rooting on the Waffle House-brawling palooka because he keeps bucking industry CW to no detriment to his decade-long (!) career. Anyway, before the CMAs, word got out that the decidedly non-country Weezy himself was going to take the stage with Kid Rock, who's already barely country by today's standards. Little did I know that Lil' Wayne would show up and [...]
So Beyoncé isn't someone you'd normally see here on PopWreckoning . Say and think what you will about her and her music, but "Irreplaceable," originally written by R&B artist Ne-Yo as a country tune, is a great song in its re-arranged pop R&B state. Ne-Yo wrote the song from his own male perspective and intended it for a Shania Twain or Faith Hill type, but Beyoncé's rearrangement turned the cut into an empowering Top 40 jam. I don't remember how I happened upon it, but I'd say [...]
MUSIC NEWS - We'll see if another year of constant touring pays off for Kenny Chesney again. He's just been nominated for the Country Music Association 's Entertainer of the Year award. He took the top honor last year, in 2006 and in 2004. Carrie Underwood 's "Carnival Ride," Chesney 's "Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates," and Allan Jackson's "Good Time" were nominated for album of the year, along with Geoge Strait's "Troubadour" and Brooks & Dunn's "Cowboy Town." Other nominees [...]
![Just in time for Sugarland's new album, Love ... [Sue Me, Sue You Blues]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1191809_lg.jpg)
Just in time for Sugarland's new album, Love On The Inside , to snag the album charts' top spot from Miley Cyrus, founding member Kristen Hall has decided to take action against Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush for a milli and a half. She's claiming she has a right to that money because she came up with the band's name and worked on their older tracks, but apparently Nettles and Bush are leery of sharing the profits of their music with someone who left the group three years ago. Gee, wonder why. [ Atlanta Journal-Constitution ]
And it's notable because, this season, the show's sixth, is the first one to take place on network television. Unlike previous seasons of the country music singing competition show (basically American Idol for the cowboy hat set), which were broadcast on the cable USA network, this year's competition was shown on NBC. With the win , the mother of five (seen above, singing Sugarland 's "Something More") gets a new car and a recording contract with Warner Bros. Nashville. So, congrats to Ms. Lawson . [...]
![Sugarland Vs. Miley Cyrus: Anyone's Guess [Friday Chart Preview]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1170478_lg.jpg)
The Great Miley Cyrus/Sugarland Battle of '08 continues with today's chart projections from Hits . Little did we know that Miley had a trick up her sleeve (on those days that she actually wears sleeves, anyway). The TV premiere of her concert film, which chronicles a show on the Best of Both Worlds Tour, is this Saturday. The movie was shot in 3-D, and the glasses needed to view Hannah/Miley in her illusory glory are exclusively available at Wal-Mart, where they're likely stocked somewhat near copies of her new album.

![OMG, could Sugarland keep Miley Cyrus from ... [Early Reports]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1168458_lg.jpg)
OMG, could Sugarland keep Miley Cyrus from the top spot on the album charts next week? Breakout was only 2,000 sales ahead of the super-deluxe edition of Sugarland's Love On The Inside through the end of yesterday, according to sales reported by Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Circuit City, Starbucks, Borders, iTunes, Target, Anderson Merchandisers, and Handleman. (Both albums officially hit stores on Tuesday.) And Sugarland's outselling Miley at Amazon , too! What will Disney do? Does this mean more MySpace picture leaks are in the offing? [ Billboard ]
![Sugarland's Mash Note To Steve Earle Gets Raves From Music Writers [The Last Word]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1165143_lg.jpg)
From time to time, we like to round up the all-important, all-summarizing last sentences of the biggest new-music reviews. Today's entry is by the Wayne Coyne-inspired pop-country outfit Sugarland, whose album Love On The Inside comes out in a "deluxe fan edition" today and a plain old edition in a week. (That's one way to keep the people coming back to the record stores, I guess.) • "Such maturity isn't surprising coming from a singer in her early 30s who was working the Georgia club circuit for [...]
![This Just In: Americans Enjoy Listening To Lil Wayne While Possibly Getting Inebriated [Jukebox Heroes Redux]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1154960_lg.jpg)
We love charts here at Idolator, but sometimes they can be so elitist. Who cares what critics think, or what the program directors of America feel like shoving down peoples' throats? We want to know: What are the people demanding to hear? What songs inspire people to vote with their wallets, making them insert a dollar into a machine with one hand while holding a longneck in the other? Turns out the answer is: Anything by Lil Wayne. Weezy took five of the ten spots on June's edition of the [...]
