Grammys Deadline Spurs Early Vinyl Releases From Cher Lloyd, Muse

The rush of late-September album releases can only mean one thing: It's the end of the Grammy Awards eligibility period. Superstars, critical darlings and Grammy bait litter the September release calendar in order to make the Sept. 30 cutoff for Grammy Awards consideration. (The 2012 period is for recordings released between Oct. 1, 2011 and Sept. 30, 2012.) The nominations will be announced in a CBS TV special on Dec. 5, following by the awards themselves on Feb. 10, 2013. On last week's Billboard 200 chart, the top 10 welcomed debuts from two former Album of the Year nominees -- Dave Matthews Band and Bob Dylan. This week, we have high bows from three-time winner P!nk (No. 1 with "The Truth About Love"), the Killers (No. 3) and possible Best New Artist contender Carly Rae Jepsen (No. 6). The latter also seems a lock for a Record of the Year nod for her smash Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single "Call Me Maybe. Finally, yesterday (Sept. 25) brought a rush of new album

PUSH Artist Of The Week: Cher Lloyd

Get bratty with "X Factor" superstar Cher Lloyd. Meet pop music's favorite new brat. Cher Lloyd first turned heads on the U.K. version of "The X Factor," where notorious grumpster Simon Cowell called her performance of Shakespeare's Sister's "Stay" "the performance of the entire season" -- and it was the first song she didn't rap on. (Because did we mention she can rap? Because she can.) Cher blends electro, hip-hop, and pop influences into a genre-bending mix, all delivered with a wink. Think Lily Allen meets Nicki Minaj . "You're a hater, just let it go," she sings on inspirational kiss-off "Swagger Jagger," while "Want U Back" firehoses an ex-boyfriend ("You never had much game") and his new girlfriend, before admitting she might be jealous. The pop misfit just made Billboard's "21 Under 21" list, performed on the "Today" show, and already dropped her first p

Prior to her 2010 audition for U.K. series "The X Factor," Cher Lloyd seemed like an average, if highly ambitious, British teenager who loved to sing. That all changed when the then-16-year-old stood before the talent show's judging panel, headed by Simon Cowell, and delivered an attention-grabbing cover of Soulja Boy's "Turn My Swag On." 21 Under 21: See Where Cher Was Ranked! "The next morning, I was catapulted into a brand-new life," the 19-year-old Lloyd recalls. "At that time, it was difficult for me to get my head around that and realize how I'm not going to be able to live the life that I did before." Lloyd came in fourth on "The X Factor," finishing behind One Direction, Rebecca Ferguson and series winner Matt Cardle. But she was on top of the U.K. singles chart less than a year later with the edgy dubstep-flavored single "Swagger Jagger." Her debut album, Sticks + Stones, made its U.K. bow last November,

Cher Lloyd's Snickers treat tweet paves the way for rest of us

Commercial messages are set to become even harder to decipher with the start of a service on Twitter that encourages us to become advertisers and be paid money to market products to followers.

Now "ordinary Twitter users" are being recruited to compose endorsements of 140 characters or less, meeting "briefs prepared by advertisers".
