I've wondered this too, which is why I added dates to my posts so my promo would be somewhat spread out

Hmm, I think it's somewhat more fun if you pace your releases in a realistic manner but that's just imo. It's definitely better to be a little faster, in some cases, especially the album release. Then again, if you pace yourself faster it would mean that you could move onto future eras. On the other hand, you wouldn't spend as much time on each era since you tried to pull a RihRih. All in all, I'm not sure

Maybe! I usually post most of my PR either on Friday or Saturday. I did that last season and snatched up the first #1.

Kesha and Josh open up about relationship
Kesha has been rumoured to be in a relationship with hollywood heartrob Josh Hutcherson, but up until now. TMZ had a special interview with Kesha and Josh in which they finally tell us what is between them.
Josh and Kesha have been romanticly linked several times already.
Kesha seemed a little uncomfortable during our interview, which is understandable since she's about to reveal something about her personal life.
Yes it is official. The woman that lets many male heart beat 3x faster when she walk by and the man who stole girls from all over the world their hearts as he showed is eternal love for Katniss in The Hunger Games are OFF THE MARKET. The pair confirmed they are now officially a couple, after the papz spotted them on several dates together.
The pair confirmed: "We've met each other in november at the premier of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. We talked a bit and it actually clicked immediately. It wasn't love at first sight as we become friends for the first few months. Josh helped me through my rough time in rehab and was an amazing support. I am so thankful for him being there for me. We both slowly started to get feelings for each other and we admitted them a few weeks back. Since then we've grown closer than ever and they were the best few weeks of our lifes."
So you heard it boys and girls. If anyone had a secret massive crush on either, your chances are gone as it sounds like they'll be together for a god knows how long time! Get ready for Hollywood's cutest and latest powercouple!
Kesha's new single, 'Beautiful Mess', is out now on Itunes, Amazon and physical copies are available at your local supermarket.

MTV Special: Zendaya
"Hello, my name is Zendaya, and you're watching my MTV special!" - that's how the latest Zendaya's MTV special, just called like that "MTV Special: Zendaya", started off. One week ago Zendaya announced that her new MTV documentary will be airing around noon on Saturday, and MTV was promoting the hell out of this special show as it aired its commercials literally everyday for the past week. Although Zendaya's name isn't that big just yet, or even if she's just starting to get some recognition because of her new single "Gunshots", but this MTV special brought some good ratings as about two million people tuned it to watch its premiere. During this special, Zendaya mainly talked about her music career and what is really happening at the moment in her life.
On how she started recording "Antidote":
"We started recording this album while I was still signed onto Hollywood Records, my previous label. I remember, back in October or November last year, I was spending a lot of time in my hometown, you know, the San Francisco's Bay Area, and a good friend of mine, who is involved in the music as well, Bobby Brackins, he just brought some of his lyrics one day when we were hanging out, he showed me them, and I was like "yo, these lyrics are dope!", and somehow, we started to write new songs together, you know. It happened quickly and it even started as a joke, but when we started to write our ideas and lyrics down, that's when this became serious. Then, we hit the studio together, we recorded some stuff, and that's when "My Baby" remix happened as well. Then, I had this gig at Hard Rock Cafe in New York city, and Republic Records president stopped by my gig, he watched as I perform, and after that gig, we met up together and he offered me a deal. Because I had such a complicated relationship with Hollywood Records, I didn't want exactly to sign another record deal, but then he said that I'll be able to record whatever I want. Of course, I agreed to sign that deal, I parted my ways with Hollywood Records and... we started seriously recording this new album. A lot of exciting producers came in with me to the studio, I worked with a lot of great writers, a lot of great rappers, singers... And this album ended up being really solid and good."
On her Taylor collaboration and promotion:
"The Taylor collaboration was totally unexpected and I wasn't even trying to get that collaboration in the first place, but it suddenly happened once I saw Taylor in the studio, I just walked up to her, and I offered a collaboration. I showed her my stuff, she listened to my new music, and she liked "Gunshots", so that's why we decided to collaborate on it, even though it was already released as a solo single. I don't know, but Taylor, she has this ability to turn something great into something even better. I thought that "Gunshots" was perfect the way it was as a solo track, but when I heard final version with Taylor's vocals, I was shocked, because it was so strong, it was so solid, so confident, and I definitely said - "let's rerelease it." Then we started getting a lot of attention, we started promoting this song, and it went crazy. We shot the music video as well, and it's now available on VEVO. But yeah, promotion is crazy at the moment, we are so busy, and I don't think I've ever been this busy, honestly, because we have to wake up at 7AM and we go to sleep at 11PM. And for this past week we've been doing this all over again. We go to one show with the dancers, we do our thing, then me and Taylor go to another show and we do an acoustic performance while dancers and live band are going to another show, because if we all go to all of the shows, we aren't able to go on a lot of shows in a one day and it becomes really complicated. But, I think that we pulled this off, I think that we did great this week, and I hope for the best."

Kesha debuts new remix
Kesha is coming for the clubs! The 27-year old singer-songwriter uploaded a very special remix on her VeVo account just minutes ago.
Kesha announced the remix 10 minutes before the premer.
The 5:04 long Martin Garrix Club Edit deatures several extra breakdowns and extra adlibs by Kesha herself. This remix is sure to take 'Beautiful Mess' to another level in the clubs and it'll feature on the Remix EP. The Martin Garrix remix is the 3rd song from the 6 tracks to be revealed, after Kesha premiered the Robin Schulz remix and the acoustic version of 'Beautiful Mess'.
Kesha's new single, 'Beautiful Mess', is out now on Itunes, Amazon and physical copies are available at your local supermarket.

“Gunshots” becomes iTunes’ Single of the Week, gets a banner
Zendaya's new single, "Gunshots", which features country slashed pop singer sensation Taylor Swift, has been chosed as the new single of the week by iTunes, which means basically that it'll be getting tons of promo on iTunes store and app. iTunes worker also commented on this announcement: "We're so happy to see that this collaborative single by Zendaya & Taylor is getting a lot of attention and we noticed that this single is significantly rising on iTunes, and it's not even slowing down at the moment, as sometimes it happens with singles, you know - they start off with huge opening sales, but then they drop shortly after, but with "Gunshots", we don't see that kind of situation happening as well. That's why we're happy to announce that "Gunshots" is our single of the week, and we are going to promote this single with various banners and sections and other interesting promotion for this following next week. It's exciting, isn't it?" These news comes right after "Gunshots" reached the highest spots on American iTunes charts, and the reason why it jumped so high is because this song's music video, which is actually kind of controversial, was released yesterday and it caused some major buzz. Yesterday, when the music video was released, Twitter and Tumblr and Facebook and every other social website buzzed up with the screenshots and GIFs and comments about this music video, and a lot of people started sharing it with their friends as well, which caused the music video to go viral, and it also caused a significant jump on iTunes charts as well, now reaching Top 2. Although nobody is sure how long "Gunshots" will be holding this really high spot, but it seems like it remain high as long as everyone will keep talking about this one. Later, iTunes also put up a new banner, and that banner is promoting none other than this new song, which is basically now a moderate hit.

M! Countdown Performances
Taylor Swift's been all over the world the past two weeks, visiting all seven continents (minus Antarctica) to promote her latest releases. The week prior to this one the American singer-songwriter had been promoting her glitch-hop fueled 'Psycho' which she was featured on, the main artist being troubled popstar Paige Elliot, who it seems Taylor Swift has had a major fallout with as the two had displayed no forms of public contact the entire a week, a rarity for the once unbreakable duo. Now in her second week of returning to the music industry after some personal struggles (Swift had recently gotten engaged to Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie and was expecting a child but ended up unfortunately miscarrying and splitting from Urie) she's promoting a new collaboration in which she again features on. Swift has stated that she's releasing most of her collaborations first thing that way she can focus on releasing her main stuff and that it makes the album' singles campaign much less complicated if they get the sure fire hit singles out the way. 'Gunshots' was promoted this week by Swift, alongside seventeen year old R&B princess Zendaya Coleman. The two kicked off the promotional campaign for their single in New York City where they appeared on various morning talk shows, and then some music television shows. Zendaya and Taylor also made sure to make time to visit radio stations who have been supporting the song with much love as it's taken off on almost every radio format there is (Pop, HAC, Rhythmic, Urban, Tropical, Latin) and more. The controversial video for the song premiered yesterday and has since then drawn in over 13,443,424 views since it was released about nine hours ago. Taylor Swift was live from Asia again today as she and Zendaya parted ways, Taylor having to travel to Sapparo Japan where Swift will be holding a concert for the fourth date of her Electric Princess Tour which will visit stadiums across the world. The tour has already grossed over twenty million dollars and is expected to be the top tour of 2014. Today the singer was live on M! Countdown where Swift performed two songs from her Coven 13 EP,'Gunshots' and 'Psycho'. The stage was set up as a dome without a front as major screens and lasers were on stage. The first song the singer performed was 'Psycho'. After a video intro the dome was lit up in white as a door that was at the back of the dome opened, revealing Taylor standing in a white that had a white collar. She wore a pair of white stiletto heels by Jimmy Choo. The performance called for some choreography but it was limited, mostly hand choreography and abrupt poses. Swift had some new additions to her dancers, a few cute Asians being added as she seemed quite taken with them, one point feeling up on one as she sang the song with conviction. The performance then was followed up with 'Gunshots' in which Swift changed outfits for. When the red stage lit up with green lasers Swift wore a black swarovski cry styled blazer with a pair of shorts to match, and a pair of knee high boots. She wore a police hate that was covered in Swarovski crystals as she went out to perform 'Gunshots'. The performance called for a 360 camera as Swift worked the stage giving a performance of the song that she's never done before. Singing Zendaya's parts the singer did full on choreography, kinda slaying it as the audience cheered in shock. It appeared her dancing sessions with Namie Amuro had been working as Swift worked the stage and managed to sing live too (minus one part because the choreography was intense). It was named one of the best performances on the show of the year and it helped boost Swift's already massive sales in the country.
