January 6, 201015 yr RCA/RMG Pop Phenom on the Clock After “TiK ToK” January 6, 2010 A new decade, another new female pop diva. This one calls herself a pimp, brags about throwing up in the closet during a “Party at a Rich Dude’s House” (supposedly Paris Hilton) and scolds one potential boy toy, “Don’t be a little b***h with your chit-chat/Just show me where your dick’s at.” She’s Ke$ha--think a female Beastie Boys crossed with Lady Gaga--an electro-pop 22-year-old Valley Girl whose singer/songwriter single mom, Pebe Sebert, is helping guide her fast-rising career, with studio whizzes Dr. Luke and Max Martin providing the beats. Her debut RCA/RMG album, Animal—in large part thanks to the smash single, “TiK ToK,” now up to 2 million downloads and climbing—hit retail this week and looks set to battle her polar opposite, Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream, for #1 on next week’s HITS Top 50, with a total between 105-115k. That’s based on one-day sales from those retailers who haven’t re-opened as medical marijuana dispensaries. Ke$ha was previously known for being the featured vocalist on Flo Rida’s massive smash, “Right Round.” Give credit to the signing to RCA/Jive Label Group boss Barry Weiss. The only other debut of note is Idol alum Katherine McPhee’s Verve Forecast debut, Unbroken, which sees her as a blonde, targeted for between 13-15k The market was down 55% vs. last week, down 9% vs. same week last year and finishes the 53-week year down 11%. And you thought you had it rough. http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPa...gi?news07888m01 Also, Blah Blah Blah is at #2 on US iTunes :mellow: Her label must be crazy if they dont release this...
January 7, 201015 yr It's so unfair that UK release was delayed to April. :nocheer: This is so frustating why are we the last country for new releases. :( :( My Favourites Blah Blah Blah Take It Off Hungover Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
January 7, 201015 yr I just thought, since the album won't be released until April, it'd be a great opportunity for Ke$ha to generate the hype by say... releasing a song from the album each week/fortnight nearer to the release, like Taylor Swift did - it worked great! The songs will chart and more people will hear about her. Maybe releasing Your Love Is My Drug or Backstabber, then Take It Off, a slower song from the album, and then finally Blah Blah Blah the week before the album release as the 2nd official single and to launch the album.

She doesn't need the gimmick.
January 7, 201015 yr KeshaUKST EXCLUSIVE NEWS: @keshasuxx Animal is out in the UK FEBRUARY 1ST!!! Mark your calendars! :unsure:
January 7, 201015 yr I must be the only one who doesn't really see what is so special about Ke$ha?!...
January 7, 201015 yr Is she a ridiculous person or what? And not in a fabulous way. Does she even have a personality or does it just consist of her adjusting the volume of her sentence between every single word whilst also finding time to dart her eyes around as if she were neurotic?! Anyway... I'm about to play the album after finally enjoying Tik Tok again so we'll see what I think.
January 7, 201015 yr Album's really not all that, there's some nice tracks but thats about it. I love the title track :o she's got a fairly cute singing voice
January 7, 201015 yr KeshaDaily Good news UK fans! HMV.com have changed Animal's UK release date, it has been moved up to February 1st! I <3 RCA again. Wish they would stop Yo-Yo-ing the release date though.

January 7, 201015 yr As much as I'm liking 'Backstabber' at the moment, they REALLY need to change it to 'Blah Blah Blah' given it's current US success and commercial appeal. It'd be another US #01 for her I think and pretty big here as well.
January 7, 201015 yr I dont think any single has been decided on... @3oh3 KE$HA's label is trying to figure out her next single.. go to her myspace and play BLAH BLAH BLAH cause guess what.. it's featuring 3OH!3 And that was on Jan 5th...
