Mon Jan 23 2012 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Talk about a recurring Dream! Katy Perry will stop at nothing, absolutely nothing, to get that sixth #1 single off Teenage Dream, even if she has to keep re-releasing the same album over and over until she's rolling around naked in cotton candy from a nursing home. [The Prophet Blog]

Best Songs Of 2011: The Top 10 Pop Non-Singles Of The Year
Wed Dec 14 2011 by Robbie Daw
Sure, there have been a boatload of decent singles that made an impact both on the charts and in pop culture in 2011. But there were also plenty of outstanding tracks tucked away on your favorite pop artists' albums that never got their day in the sun. Sometimes it may seem like a no-brainer when choosing which track from an LP deserves an official single release — and sometimes artists and labels get it way wrong and overlook some of their best material.
We've rounded up what we consider to be 10 such tunes below. Our selection process was simple: they were all from albums that were released in 2011 or, at the very least, the tail-end of 2010, and they all had ample opportunity to be up for single consideration this year. Alas, these diamonds were left untouched by radio (this year, at least). More »

Katy Perry To Host ‘Saturday Night Live’ In December
Mon Nov 21 2011 by Robbie Daw
Over a year after she delivered two pitchy performances (of her Teenage Dream title song and "California Gurls") on Saturday Night Live, Katy Perry is once again returning to NYC for the show — this time to host. The good news is that, with her California Dreams Tour nearly completed, any stage fright the pink-haired American Music Awards performer had should be obliterated by now. Katy's comedy chops will be put to the ultimate SNL test on the December 10 episode. And, total bonus: Robyn is the musical guest (we think, based on Katy's tweet. Think you can handle that?

Wed Nov 16 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Last friday night, Katy Perry celebrated her 27th birthday with a Wild West-themed party that put any fiesta you’ve ever attended to shame.

Adam Lambert and boyfriend Sauli Koskinen arrived dressed as (sexy) Indians, but the belle of the hoedown had to be Katy’s California Dreams tour partner Robyn, who dressed as the most fantastic cactus we’ve ever seen. Check out pics from what the California native called the “best. party. ever.” More »

Robyn Calls Up A Breathtaking Performance On The ‘Tonight Show’
Wed Nov 2 2011 by Robbie Daw
We don't know if Robyn is feeling more energized after performing at MTV's O Awards or during her opening slot on Katy Perry's North American tour, or perhaps at her recent headlining gig at the Hollywood Bowl, but the pop pixie was in rare form on the Tonight Show last night, where she belted out "Call Your Girlfriend" with such conviction it seemed like she might fall over by the end. Oh, and she wore a pretty cool black and yellow jacket, too. Watch below, and check out Jay Leno's other guest Eddie Murphy grinning in wonderment at Robyn toward the very end of the clip.
