Pixie Lott: Coming Soon to US Radio!
FINALLY!
There have been hints here and there that Pixie Lott would eventually release music in the United States. It’s been in articles and interviews from Miss Victoria herself. From those, we know that she’s filmed a movie — Fred: The Movie — and that “Cry Me Out” may be her 1st US single. And now it seems like the press is finally beginning for Pixie’s American push.
Billboard Magazine has a new preview of Artists to Watch for 2010. These are the acts they think are going to break out this year. I was super glad to see Pixie Lott on the list!
The big bullet points from the feature was that the label has not chosen Pixie’s lead US single yet, but they expect to do that, and set radio impact date in the coming weeks!
Don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t wait! Let’s goooo!

Melanie Fiona to Perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday
On Tuesday, Miss Melanie Fiona will tape a performance for the not-so-live Jimmy Kimmel Live show to air later that night. I poke fun at the “live” portion of the show’s title because technically, it does not air live.
I’d give you a link to get tickets to the show, but it’s already sold it!
Check your local listings for when the show airs in your market. It varies as the show is syndicated. Click here for the official show website.
