Carrie Underwood Becomes Bonafide Country Legend


If you look at what Carrie Underwood has achieved in her short five-year career, it's unbelievable!

The Season 4 American Idol winner is no longer known as just an American Idol winner, she is a bonafide country ICON, moving towards the upper echelon of country legend status.

Last night Underwood became the first female EVER to win back-to-back Entertainer of the Year awards at the Academy of Country Music Awards. She took home the prize last year, becoming one of only a handful of woman to ever win won, but now she has two!!

This is a BIG deal.

Underwood also earned her 12th, yes I said 12th, #1 country single this month with "Temporary Home", and she scored another #1 album.

Her debut release Some Hearts was the biggest selling country album of the DECADE, and she is the best-selling AI winner ever!

Congrats to Miz Underwood on all of her success! (And for a complete list of ACM winners click here!)

Poll Results and New Poll!!


It's been busy busy busy this past couple of weeks, but the More Than Musiq poll closed a few days back, and there's a winner!

YOU voted for your favorite female singer, and coming out on top is none other than our fave pop icon Britney Spears!!!

Brit Brit garnered 31% of the vote, beating on second place finisher Rihanna, who managed to get 25%.

Looks like people still love our queen of pop!

It's crazy to think that Spears has been in the limelight for 11 years now, when most people thought she's just be a flash in the pan!!

Go Brit!!

Now our new poll is going in a different direction. Celebrities are ridiculous. They love to be the center of attention, and more often than not they get a lot of attention for doings something really stupid. Like say, run for political office.

More Than Musiq's new poll will ask readers to vote for which celeb they'd vote for for President! The list has been narrowed down to five candidates, so choose wisely. You never know, in ten years we could be saying "Yes madam President Oprah."

I Don't Get Excited About BEP

The Black Eyed Peas are the latest cover stars for Rolling Stone Magazine, for their special issue State of Rock: 40 Reasons to Get Excited About Music...

I'm sorry, but The Black Eyed Peas do not get me excited about the state of music these days. I know they had a HUGE year in '09, but their generic dance-pop is nothing innovative or rock & roll-inspiring.

I hope the content is better than the cover.

OMG is Will Ferrell Funny Again!?!


Will Ferrell has been in some GOD AWFUL SHITTY movies lately. Remember Land of the Lost? Gag.

It's been a while since Ferrell has actually made anybody laugh, but his upcoming flick with smokin' hottie Mark Wahlberg looks promising.

The Other Guys follows Ferrell and Wahlberg as wimpy cops who never leave the office. But they get caught up in this huge case and hilarity obviously ensues.

Critics often underestimate Wahlberg's comedic timing, and in this preview it looks like he hits his mark every time.

Check out the preview for The Other Guys.

Dance Track of the Day


It' been a while since More Than Musiq featured a killer dance track, so here's one for the books!

American Idol season 6 runner-up Blake Lewis is racing up the Billboard Dance charts with his latest single "Heartbreak on Vinyl".

Lewis has pretty much been MIA since he came in second place to Jordin Sparks, but this track is actually not that bad. His voice is solid, and although the beats a pretty typical one, it works!

Take a listen to Heartbreak on Vinyl.

Usher and Beiber Lock Down Top 2


Usher's latest album Raymond V. Raymond debuts at the top of the Billboard 200 this week, selling a solid 329,000 copies, displacing last week's top seller and Usher protege Justin Beiber and his second album My World 2.0, which falls to #2.

Beiber's disc actually saw a 3% increase in sales to 291,000. It's extremely rare for an album to post a sales GAIN after its debut week, so congrats to the little guy!

This is Usher's third straight #1 album, starting with Confessions in 2004, and Here I Stand in 2008. Unfortunately he has not been able to reach the monster smash of Confessions, which sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. and turned him into an R&B/Pop powerhouse.

1. Usher Raymond V Raymond (329,000)

2. Justin Beiber My World 2.0 (291,000)

3. Various Artists Now 33 (123,000)

4. Erykah Badu New Amerykah, Part Two: Return of the Ankh (110,000)

5. Lady Antebellum Need You Now (87,000)

6. Monica Still Standing (81,000)

7. Alan Jackson Freight Train (72,000)
