MORE GOOD STUFF…with Miranda, Jake, Kellie, and Carrie!
- Congratulations to Miranda Lambert, whose smokin’-hot Four the Record album continues to fly out of the stores — digital and otherwise! She’s number-one for the second week in a row on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums sales chart after scoring an all-time record last week, becoming the first artist in the chart’s 47-year history to have each of her first four albums debut at number-one! In support of the album, the newly re-crowned two-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year has been making the TV rounds in a big way, with multiple appearances this week. And if you missed her on NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday, you can see her performance of her current smash, “Baggage Claim,” online here, and you can watch her performances on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel LIve! for “Baggage Claim” here, and here for the song, “Mama’s Broken Heart.”
- In October, Jake Owen laughed with us that he was thinking of going out on Halloween as the Internet video sensation, the honey badger. Well, Jake’s now getting the honey-badger treatment for real, with the video’s original narrator, Randall, offering his badger-style narration over Jake’s “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” video! You can see it, right here! Meanwhile, Jake is on the radio with his hot new single, “Alone with You,” the second smash from his Barefoot Blue Jean Night album.
- In other Jake Owen news, Jake was officially announced earlier this week as a special guest on next summer’s Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw 2012 ‘Brothers of the Sun’ stadium tour! The 19-date tour will launch on June 2nd. …And speaking of Jake, if you haven’t seen it, be sure to check out his five-song performance for AOL Music Sessions, online here, as well as the accompanying interview with Jake, right here, on TheBoot.com.
- Kellie Pickler has officially been announced this week as a special guest on the upcoming holiday TV special, A Michael Bublé Christmas. Catch it on December 6th, at 8pm, ET, on NBC. Kellie fans can also be looking forward to new music in the New Year, with her third album, titled 100 Proof, set for release on January 24th!
- Today, Carrie Underwood became the first artist announced to perform at the Nightly Concerts at LP Field during the 2012 CMA Music Festival, set for June 7th through the 10th in Nashville. Visit CMAFest.com for all the latest on next year’s event!
