Katy Perry Chosen as Billboard's Woman of the Year

Singer Katy Perry has this week been selected as Billboard's Woman of the Year. This year has seen Katy continue touring and has also seen the release of "Part of Me", a film that gave her millions of fans a glimpse into the life of the pop star.

Katy was honored at an event on Friday, where Carly Rae Jepsen was also given the honor of being crowned the year's Rising Star. At the event in New York, Katy said that "I don’t really like to call myself a role model for my fans. I hope that I am an inspiration for them, especially young women. My mantra, especially for the film, was: If you believe in yourself, you can be anything."

Speaking with the magazine about being given the title of Woman of the Year, Katy mentioned that she thought her year was done and over, hinting that she was surprised when she won.

Congratulations to Katy on the honor!

Adele's 21 Sells over 10 Million - That's the math we like!

Los Angeles Times

21 is named for the chanteuse's age when she was recording the album and maybe that was lucky because it just became the 21st album to sell 10 million copies.  21 hasn't left the Billboard Top 100 since it's debut at number one last February. 

In a detailed analysis, Billboard's Keith Caulfield says  "21" is one of eight albums to move 10 million copies in their first two years of release. The others include Santana's "Supernatural," the "Bodyguard" soundtrack and "Jagged Little Pill" by Alanis Morissette. N Sync's "No Strings Attached" and the Backstreet Boys' "Millennium" got there even faster, hitting the 10-million mark in less than 11 months.  

Just incredible, but then so is the album!  What do you think? Do you own 21?

Lil Wayne edges out Elvis on Billboard Record

Today is Lil Wayne's 30th Birthday!  Have a great Birthday, man!

He made, not only Rap, but Rock-n-Roll history recently.  The rapper just surpassed Elvis Presley as the leading male with the most entries on the Billboard chart.

Lil Wayne now has 109 songs on that chart with Thursday's debut of Game's song "Celebration," where he is a guest alongside Chris Brown, Tyga and Wiz Khalifa. Of his 109 charted songs, only 42 are led by Lil Wayne; 67 are songs where he is the featured act.

Elvis totaled 108 songs on the Hot 100 since it launched in 1958. Presley's career kicked off before that and several of his songs — like "Heartbreak Hotel" — could not be included in his total number.

The "Glee" cast has the most Hot 100 entries with 204.
