If you're looking for Lady Gaga on my chart, you've come to the wrong place. She hasn't made my countdown since Just Dance.
Although September is usually a month where school is back in session, the chart remains as lively as ever. I'm being told we now have an exclusive Orianthi premiere featuring...wait for it....Lacey of Flyleaf. Keep an eye out for that

Great countdown today. Next time we have premieres from Marit Larsen, Miranda Lambert and Ready Set Go Band, a sneak peek from Marion Raven and a live performance from Paramore.
I'd love to hear what you think of today's countdown. Any of these songs you haven't heard that you like? Ups? Downs?
9.2.10:Looking for Mainstream? Wrong place guys. Indie <3
Happy September 2nd. Starting next week, we will have BB12's Annie Whittington join me for co-hosting the show for a week. Don't miss her insight.
But first, the countdown for today. If you're looking for your Mainstream fix and all the hottest tracks currently on the hot 100 and Pop Mediabase chart, wrong turn folks There is very little Mainstream on this countdown, and I like it that way. I talked to my friend Jenna Bryson who is an aspiring musician and she's doing it for the right reasons, going slowly by slowly saving up money to make her music. That's a direct shot at you Rihanna who released like 4 albums in a 4 year stretch....go for it slowly rather than build it all at once. There's a fine line between the art of music. Oh and Rihanna, STEP UP YOUR GAME!
OK enough rant, here's the countdown. Speaking of Bryson, she makes the countdown today as the only debut, replacing Katy Perry on the chart. Oh and the stuff we had scheduled for today, that's been pushed back. You'll see Marion, Marit, Miranda and Ready Set Go Band tomorrow's show.

Another awesome countdown today. Next time we have premieres from Marit Larsen, Miranda Lambert and Ready Set Go Band, a sneak peek from Marion Raven too. Also next week it's Fan Appreciation Week with BB12 Annie joining me to co-host. Don't miss this. There will be performances from Lights, Orianthi, Carrie Underwood, Sara Bareilles, Natasha Bedingfield, Stephanie Brownlee, Sophia Melon, Threadspinner, Domenica, 78Violet, Britt Nicole, Runner Runner, Bon Jovi, Skillet and Bruce Springsteen. Premieres TBA. And remember, on September 17th we will have BB12's Britney, Lane, Enzo, Matt, Rachel, Kathy, Brendon, Hayden and Ragan all joining us. They will showcase their favorite songs.
Today is the 3rd of September, and my stance hasn't changed on my music views. I got a lot of emails asking me to showcase Elisa Schwartz's Like Lightning. Good thought, but there's no video clip of it anywhere. But we will do It Wasn't I. It might be an old song, but wait till you see this video. We're debuting it on the countdown today. Also joining her on the chart today are Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare and Ozzy Osbourne's Let Me Hear You Scream. Alas, 3 debuts mean 3 bye-byes. We also updated some new adds to the playlist and remove some that are out of contention.
