Selena Gomez: Lovely at the "Late Show"

Selena Gomez: Lovely at the "Late Show"

Having flown into the Big Apple the previous day, Selena Gomez made her grand arrival at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City on Monday afternoon (March 14).

Promoting her new music, the "Wizards of Waverly Place" darling was on-hand to tape an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" - with the episode set to air on Wednesday, March 16th at 11:30PM on CBS.

The "Late Show" visit comes just as it was announced that Miss Gomez has a little something special planned for fans who attend her upcoming summer concert tour.


The 18-year-old told On Air with Ryan Seacrest, "I want it to be a like a big rave - a G-rated rave! I want it to feel like a party. I'm going to do different covers and I just want it to be really fun… We're going to do a Britney tribute - a mash-up - so I'm very excited!"

Reminiscing about her first-ever Spears concert, Selena told, "We were in the nosebleeds with my cousin. I got the T-shirt and glowstick and I just remember it being the highlight of my life! I felt like I was on cloud nine!"

Enjoy the pictures of Selena Gomez at the "Late Show with David Letterman" in NYC (March 14).

U.S. Chart Roundup: Brace Yourselves—'Glee' Is A Hit Or Something

The main activity on the Billboard Hot 100 this week comes from the songs that appeared in the Season 2 premiere of Glee. The singing troupe of TV dorks see their following covers hit the chart: "Empire State Of Mind" (#21), "Telephone" (#23), "Billionaire" (#28) [Note: for the record, I fucking hate this song], "Listen" (#38) and "What I Did For Love" (#51).

Elsewhere, all does not seem lost just yet for Selena Gomez & The Scene's moody dance-pop jam "A Year Without Rain." After dropping from #35 to #65 last week, the single now jumps up to #53. Her same-named album debuts on the Top 200 album chart at #4. (Is it any good? I've only heard a few clips—seems decent enough?)

That brings us to Florence + The Machine, whose "Dog Days Are Over" sadly falls from #21—where it flew to after Flo's stellar MTV VMAs performance the other week—to #73. Over on the Top 200, FATM's Lungs has a less dramatic plunge from #14 to #28.

And we'll end with these two final notes—first up, Brandon Flowers' Flamingo, which debuted at #8 last week, drops to #30. I actually made it the whole way through this album twice. It's not bad. It's just...there.

And at least Christina Aguilera can be happy that she's finally #1 again somewhere. Her Bionic single "You Lost Me" has topped the Dance/Club Play Songs chart. Triumph!

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Just The Way You Are" - Bruno Mars" *2 weeks*
2. "Teenage Dream" - Katy Perry
3. "Love The Way You Lie" - Eminem feat. Rihanna
4. "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" - Usher feat. Pitbull
5. "Dynamite" - Taio Cruz
6. "Like A G6" - Far*East Movement 
7. "Just A Dream" - Nelly
8. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna
9. "I Like It" - Enrique Iglesias feat. Pitbull
10. "Club Can't Handle Me" - Flo Rida feat. David Guetta

Robyn's 'Body Talk Pt. 2' Becomes Her Highest-Charting Album In The U.S.

Robyn's Body Talk Pt. 2 had a much better debut (#41) on this week's Billboard Top 200 album chart than Pt. 1 did (#97) back in June. Chalk it up to her recent tour here with Kelis—and it's probably a good thing for the upcoming Pt. 3 that she's touring here in the States again in November.

Body Talk Pt. 2 has now become Robyn's highest-charting album in the States, a title that previously belonged to her 1997 debut Robyn Is Here (which peaked at #57, but ultimately went Platinum).

Sadly, Robyn's excellent jam "Hang With Me" was released this week in England and isn't performing as well as "Dancing On My Own" did there (the latter charted at #8 on the UK chart in June). Currently, "Hang With Me" is #92 on UK iTunes.

Over on the Hot 100 singles chart, Katy Perry is #1 for a second week with "Teenage Dream," while Adam Lambert climbs to a new high of #31 with "If I Had You."

Meanwhile, it's a big week for debuts: Selena Gomez & The Scene go in at #35 with "A Year Without Rain," Rihanna cracks the chart at #75 with "Only Girl (In The World)"—but expect it to make a huge leap next week since it went on sale this week at iTunes, where it's currently #1—and Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" debuts at #93 (that one will jump up, too, as it's at #6 on iTunes after Flo's MTV VMAs performance).

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Teenage Dream" - Katy Perry *2 weeks*
2. "Love The Way You Lie" - Eminem feat. Rihanna
3. "Just The Way You Are" - Bruno Mars
4. "Dynamite" - Taio Cruz
5. "I Like It" - Enrique Iglesias feat. Pitbull
6. "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" - Usher feat. Pitbull
7. "Just A Dream" - Nelly
8. "Take It Off" - Ke$ha
9. "Club Can't Handle Me" - Flo Rida feat. David Guetta
10. "Mine" - Tayler Swift

Everybody Wants To Have Sex With Eminem, Maroon 5 And Sara Bareilles

It's a week of several big debuts on the Billboard Hot 100, pop chyldren, so let's just jump right in with Eminem and Rihanna. Each one has landed a #1 single this year so far, with "Not Afraid" and "Rude Boy," respectively. And now their collaboration "Love The Way You Lie" comes crashing in at #2, thanks to Eminem's Recovery being made available last week.

Recovery opened with 741,000 copies sold—the highest one-week amount of any album since AC/DC (hot) moved 784,000 copies of Black Ice in October 2008. (And check out my assessment of the 17 albums that have hit #1 in 2010 so far over on Idolator.)

Anyway, Selena Gomez & The Scene pop in at #24 with "Round & Round," making it the Disney teen's highest chart hit yet. (My spring jam "Naturally" peaked at #29). Maroon 5 debut at #44 with "Misery," a song that sounds like every other Maroon 5 single ever released. The music video is set to debut in a few hours, so hold on to your hats, kidz.

Here's a 30-second preview:



This brings us to piano pop broad Sara Bareilles, who debuts at #59 with "King Of Anything." Let's hope this one becomes a hit (it's pleasant enough), so she can shed her one-hit-wonder coat—you know, to become a two-hit-wonder. The "King Of Anything" video leaked this week and keeps getting yanked off the Internet, but you can watch it here.

Rounding out the debuts (and, yes, there are about 47 other Eminem songs that entered the Hot 100 that I can't be fucked to write about) this week is Adam Lambert's "If I Had You," which goes in at #94. If there is a Pop God up there in the universe overseeing all things right and just, this song will go just as far as "Whataya Want From Me" did. Because Max Martin needs more money.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "California Gurls" - Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg *4 weeks*
2. "Love The Way You Lie" - Eminem feat. Rihanna *new*
3. "OMG" - Usher feat. will.i.am
4. "Airplanes" - B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams
5. "Billionaire" - Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars
6. "Find Your Love" - Drake
7. "Cooler Than Me" - Mike Posner
8. "Your Love Is My Drug" - Ke$ha
9. "Alejandro" - Lady Gaga
10. "Ridin' Solo" - Jason Derulo
