Miley Cyrus' BANGERZ Reaches the top of the Charts!



Miley Cyrus' fourth studio album "BANGERZ" was released on October 8th and has surpassed her previous album sales coming in at #1 on the billboard top 200. Cyrus' previous album "Cant be Tamed" debuted at No.3 which some blame on the lack of strategy in the promotion of the album. But this time around Miley made sure that she was the spectacle of the year with her racy performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV Music Video Awards that had everyone talking and her shocking video for the single "Wrecking Ball" where she appears naked swinging on a wrecking ball. With millions of views on Vevo and many parodies as well as a hosting gig on  SNL she has surely succeeded in her plan.

I have not gotten the chance to listen to the full album yet, but from what I have heard "BANGERZ" seems to be a nice departure from her previous Teen-Pop sound into a more mature mixture of Urban, Dupstep sound with a splash of country. If you have listened to the full album feel free to post your thoughts in the comment section below!

Billboard has recently announced their choice for Woman of the Year and it is none other than the amazing, P!NK. After Almost 16 years in the Music industry she is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Since the release of her debut in "Can't Take Me Home" April 200 she has taken the music industry by storm with her daredevil attitude and her meaningful lyrics. Songs such as "Family Portrait", "Stupid Girls", and "Dear Mr. President" Are just some of the songs that speak on issues in the world that many people relate to and they have become anthem for many people all over the world.

Her sixth album, "The Truth About Love" has become an international success and is her first album to reach number one on the billboard charts. Along with it's sold out world tour which is full of daredevil acrobatics and NO LIP SYNCING!! She has become one busy woman this year.

I actually had the opportunity to attend one of her concerts in March of this year and it was amazing! The show started on an electrifying note with the singer entering from above the stage strapped in a harness singing one of her hits, "Raise Your Glass" and from there the energy level only intensified with even more terrifying stunts and amazing vocals that had me up on my feet and cringing, and singing along until the end. By the time the show was over I could not even stand. It will definitely be an experience that I will never forget and I would recommend that everyone at least once in their life go see a P!NK show.
