GLEE’S MUSIC TOPS CHARTS

DEBUT SOUNDTRACK IS #4 BEST SELLING ALBUM

GLEE: THE MUSIC, VOLUME 2 IN STORES DECEMBER 8

(New York, NY: Columbia Records; November 11, 2009) – Glee’s cultural stronghold continues to grow as the massively popular Fox comedy’s first soundtrack soars to the top of album sales charts. Glee: The Music, Volume 1, which was released on November 3, has sold in excess of 113,000 units in its first week alone garnering an astounding #4 spot on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. Prior to this physical release the music from Glee was only available for purchase digitally where it sold over 2.5 million single downloads, spawning a Gold single for the cast’s version of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Glee: The Music, Volume 1 has been celebrated by critics for its originality and ability to take popular music and make it innovative and fresh. The New York Daily News proclaimed “Glee’s singers have a greater feel for what’s brilliant about these songs than even their creator, or first interpreters, did.” While NY Newsday went on to boast, “it re-imagines songs with grand, inventive new arrangements.” And Associated Press noted “the vocal performances are top notch.” The talented cast met fans and signed copies of the soundtrack at four major in-store appearances in the New York and Los Angeles metropolitan areas last week allowing fans to get up close and personal. Each event went beyond capacity and the gracious cast stayed beyond the allotted time to meet all the fans who turned up.

And for fans who just can’t get enough of Glee’s high spirited music, Glee: The Music, Volume 2 hits stores on Tuesday December 8. This second volume features the casts take on such pop powerhouse tunes as Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You,” Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” Van Halen’s “Jump” and a really special version of John Lennon’s “Imagine” (See below for full track listing). Glee is infectious and the music is sure to bring joy, which is exactly why the Chicago Tribune exclaimed “Any TV show soundtrack that induces people of all ages to dance around the kitchen is doing something right.”

The full track listing for “Glee: The Music, Volume 2” is as follows:

“Proud Mary”
“Endless Love”
“I’ll Stand By You”
“Don’t Stand So Close To Me / Young Girl”
“Crush”
“(You’re) Having My Baby”
“Lean On Me”
“Don’t Make Me Over”
“Imagine”
“True Colors”
“Jump”
“Smile” (cover of Lily Allen)
“Smile” (cover of Charlie Chaplin)
“And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”
“Don’t Rain On My Parade”
“You Can’t Always Get What You Want”
“My Life Would Suck Without You”

DAY26 recently released their video album "Forever In Your Eyes", available exclusively on iTunes now. "Forever In Your Eyes" is being led by breezy mid-tempo ballad "So Good", which was the #1 Most Added Song at radio for 2 weeks in a row and premiered worldwide on MTV during Diddy's "Making His Band". The video to "So Good" was just introduced to audiences on BET's 106 & Park as the New Joint of the day.

Day26 made a blockbuster chart debut this past April with their sophomore album, “FOREVER IN A DAY.” The album – which includes the hit single, “Imma Put It On Her (Feat. Yung Joc and Diddy)” – entered Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart at #1, while also landing at #2 on the comprehensive Billboard 200 with sales in excess of 113,000.

Last year saw DAY26 enter the record books as the biggest-selling debut album from a male R&B group in the 17-year history of SoundScan. The album – which included the hit singles, “Got Me Going” and “Since You Been Gone” – exploded into the #1 spot on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 in its first week of release, while also topping Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart.

Their story is already well-known to their fans, millions of whom tune in every Thursday night to watch it unfold on MTV’s Making the Band. When he put out the call for vocalists in January of 2007, P.Diddy was looking for talented newcomers with superstar potential and a tireless work ethic. What he got when Robert, Will, Brian, Qwanell (Que), and Mike were finally selected in the blockbuster finale on August 26, 2007—the date that inspired the group’s name—was more than he, or the fans, could have ever anticipated.

As their story, and sound, continues to evolve, Day26 is still at heart a group of five guys with a dream. As Brian says, “We’re from five different cities, we have five different ways, and it’s definitely tested us.” At the end of the day, however, “we’re like brothers.”

JAY-Z’s “THE BLUEPRINT 3” CONTINUES REIGN OF BILLBOARD ALBUM CHART

JAY-Z Makes Debut Appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” September 24th

“Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys #1 Selling Digital Single in the Country Selling 205k copies

(New York, NY: September 23, 2009): JAY-Z’s “The Blueprint 3” debuted at the top of the Billboard album charts last week selling over 475,000 copies. With that grand entry on to the charts, JAY-Z surpassed Elvis Presley as the solo act with the most # 1 albums in the history of Billboard. Now “The Blueprint 3” reigns supreme for a second consecutive week with sales of 297,911 copies.

The album’s success has been propelled by unprecedented fan support, hit singles, “D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune) and “Run This Town” with Rihanna and Kanye West, and “Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys which is the #1 selling digital single in the country this week selling 205k copies. JAY-Z has also made high profile appearances on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” and “Late Show With David Letterman,” a BET three part special, “Food For Thought,” and performances on the MTV Video Music Awards and “The Jay Leno Show.”

Continuing momentum that hasn’t been seen in years, at long last, JAY-Z will make his highly anticipated debut appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” The show, airing, Thursday, September 24th builds upon their initial conversation in Brooklyn, New York’s Marcy Projects.

“The Blueprint 3” excitement began in June when the album was originally scheduled for release on Friday, September 11th. Overwhelming demand dictated the album be made available 6 days earlier. “The Blueprint 3” went on sale Saturday, September 5th exclusively on line at Rhapsody and Tuesday, September 8th in retail stores.

“The Blueprint 3” is the last chapter of the “Blueprint” series. Its release date paid homage to the date of the original “Blueprint,” Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Recognizing the events of that date, JAY-Z staged the historic “ANSWER THE CALL” charity concert at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden. 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales and concert merchandise benefited the “New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund. Airing in HD and commercial-free on the music television network FUSE, the wildly successful sold-out concert featured artists Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Kanye West, John Mayer, Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beatz, Kid Cudi and Memphis Bleek, and ranked among the highest-rated television programs in Fuse history.

JAY-Z is currently performing with Coldplay in the UK before returning to the U.S. for his stateside tour beginning October 9th.

**Immediately following tonight's Colbert Report airing, the entire album will be available on http://www.colbertnation.com for streaming through 9/21**

The world's most unpredictable and entertaining experimental rock band, THE FLAMING LIPS, are gearing up for a busy fall. First up, the band will appear on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report on September 16th, which airs that night at 11:30 p.m. ET. Check local listings for details.

The LIPS' brand-new double-album, EMBRYONIC will be available online in its entirety for a limited-time only at http://www.colbertnation.com immediately after Wednesday night's show through Monday, September 21. This will be the first complete airing of the album in advance of release and the first time The Colbert Report has presented any album by an artist.

THE LIPS are appearing on Colbert to spread the word about EMBRYONIC, which will be released by Warner Bros. Records on October 13th. This marks their first full studio set in three years following their Grammy Award-winning AT WAR WITH THE MYSTICS. EMBRYONIC, THE LIPS' 12th album, was recorded in Fredonia, NY, and Oklahoma City, OK, with studio whiz and general co-conspirator Dave Fridmann and just may be their most sonically adventurous and compositionally vernal form of musical expression ever. In honor of the October 13th release date, THE LIPS will perform on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien that night.

EMBRYONIC will be released in multiple configurations: a standard CD, featuring 18 tracks, and a deluxe package that includes two CD's (18 tracks plus a bonus audio DVD of the full album) and a custom hardcover book featuring 24 pages of full-color art, lyrics, and band photos. This deluxe package is a limited-edition run and has been custom-designed by THE FLAMING LIPS. The album will also be released on vinyl with a single gatefold jacket that includes two colored LP's (one blue and one yellow). A CD version of the album will be included with the vinyl package.

THE LIPS will also release EMBRYONIC in two Direct to Consumer packages available only via the band's online store at http://www.flaminglips.com. The deluxe DTC package, which will be sold as a digipack inside of a custom "fur" box, includes two CDs, plus a bonus 96k 24bit-super resolution audio DVD (256 times higher resolution rate than standard CD audio), and an exclusive album artwork lithograph. A very limited number of these prints will be autographed by the band.

A super MEGA Deluxe vinyl edition will also be made available in very limited quantities this coming winter 2009. A detailed explanation will be forthcoming. Keep and eye on the LIPS website for info.

Plans for New Years Eve?? Once again, THE FLAMING LIPS have confirmed that they will indeed play their hometown of Oklahoma City on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2009, at the Cox Center. Tickets for the show will go on sale Saturday September 19th. Ticket prices range from $10, $20, and $25 (plus venue/transaction fees). Special Guests will be Oklahoma brethren and label mates STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS. Check http://www.flaminglips.com and http://www.stardeathandwhitedwarfs for further details.

Also just completed and ready for viewing is a brand new video for the EMBRYONIC track, "I Can Be A Frog," featuring backing animalistic sounds by Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeah's fame, will debut online beginning, Sep 22, on Myspace.Com.

If all that weren't enough, THE LIPS will once again host their annual "March of 1,000 Flaming Skeletons" Halloween Parade in Oklahoma City, now in its third year. This year's festivities take place on October 24th in downtown Oklahoma City's Bricktown district; just a stone's throw away from FLAMING LIPS ALLEY.

Last year's second annual Ghouls Gone Wild event was a huge success that drew LIPS fans from around the globe. Naturally, this year's Supernatural procession will be even more incendiary as festive floats, (in)appropriately adorned cars, walking groups, and 1,000 strong undead snake through the streets of Oklahoma City.

COMMON AND THE ROOTS ADD SPICE TO HENNESSY ARTISTRY SERIES WITH RED-HOT INDIE ACTS

Elevator Fight Featuring Zoe Kravitz, Rock and Soul YouTube Sensation Colin Munroe and Indie Rock Up-and-Comers Elizabeth the Band

Hennessy, the bestselling Cognac in the world and one of the most celebrated and storied brands in history, furthers its commitment to delivering unexpected blends of music, artistry, culture and flavor with this year's fourth annual Hennessy Artistry Series. Hosted exclusively by Hennessy, the four events will be co-curated and headlined by hip-hop impresario Common and one of the "greatest live acts in the world" (Rolling Stone) The Roots, who will also appear as the house band.

Marked by the core principles of discovery, creativity, and self-expression, Hennessy Artistry has been lauded worldwide as a showcase for a broad range of talent, from local performers, to iconic artists such as Kanye West and LL Cool J, and rapidly rising superstars such as Ne-Yo, the curator of the 2008 series. This year's Artistry Series highlights this dedication to unique blending, mixing and the unexpected with:

Elevator Fight (Chicago, Atlanta, New York): http://www.myspace.com/elevatorfight

Colin Munroe (Chicago, New York): http://www.myspace.com/colinmunroe

Elizabeth the Band (Atlanta): http://www.myspace.com/elizabeththeband

"Curating for Artistry has been amazing. We've had so much fun hashing out line-ups that will flow well with each other," said co-curator Questlove of The Roots. "We worked hard to blend talent with us and Common that will surprise and excite the Artistry audience. When all is said and done, Hennessy Artistry will be an experience that folks will talk about for years to come. I for one, can't wait to see it all come to play this fall."

Additional surprise performers will be announced, and several iconic artists may make unannounced appearances.

"The Hennessy Artistry series is historically known to showcase the best new and indie talent," notes Hennessy SVP Andy Glaser. "Previous Artistry events have included artists such as Pharrell, Robin Thicke, The Strokes and Leona Lewis, and Artistry 2009 promises to carry on this tradition."
