IGGY AZALEA COVERS BILLBOARD
This week Australian rapper Iggy Azalea graced the cover of Billboard magazine following the success of her chart topping single 'Fancy'. Wearing a long-sleeve, fitted, nude colored top with sequins all over, Iggy, with hands on her hips , fiercely stares directly into the camera. She sat down with Billboard to talk about her roots and struggle to make it into the music scene.
Q: How was it growing up in Australia?
A: Where I grew up, it was a very rural part of Australia. My dad built our home with his own hands out of mud, so obviously we didn't have a lot of money. But despite our struggles, I had a great childhood and wouldn't change it.
Q. Let's talk about the music. How did it start?
A: I started rapping when I was 14 and two of my friends and I started a group but I left after I realized that they weren't taking it too seriously. That's when I realized that if I was going to be a rapper, it wasn't going to happen in Australia.
Q: And that's when you left?
A: Yup. I told my parents I was going on vacation with my friend, then I called them up and let them know that I was staying in Miami and was not coming back. At 15 it sounds that I was being naive but really I knew 100% what I wanted to knew and I was going to get it.
Q: When did you start getting noticed?
A: After Miami, I lived in Houston, and then Atlanta where I worked at small gigs and eventually moved out to LA.
Q: Youtube really helped you get some attention, right?
A: Yeah. I started uploading some freestyles and then filmed the video for Pu$$y which got noticed. I released Ignorant Art, my EP, while I was already working on The New Classic, I was just waiting for a record label to sign me.
Q: Then T.I. came along?
A: Yeah, a big record label wanted to sign me so I called T.I. For some guidance and wanted him on my album but they said no so I ended up signing with T.I.'s record label.
Q: What was it like not being able to make it big with all of those singles you released?
A: After Work under performed I was really discouraged because I thought that it was my best song but I just kept working (pun intended)
Q: How did Fancy and Charli XCX come about?
A: It was originally titled 'Leave It' and after it leaked online and got positive reviews I decided to remaster it and called up Charli and the rest is history.
Q: Speaking about history, how does it feel to be the second act ,after the Beatles, to occupy your first two hits in the top 2 of the Hot 100.
A: You know it's so crazy. There I was thinking I was never going to make it and then this miracle happens, it's just mind blowing, and I'm really thankful to everyone that's involved.
Q: So you just created your own record label, Amethyst Records, and signed some artists. What do you look for when signing an artist?
A: Both of the artists that I have right now are really interesting in their respective ways. You have a 60 year old chef, who has never delved into the music industry before and a 17 year old female rapper who has struggled just like me. I look for people like that, with stories.
Q: When will the re-release of The New Classic come out?
A: Well I'm still touching up on some things but it's almost done. I already have the title ready, it will be called 'The New Classic: Born Again' and I can't wait for ya'll to hear it.
Q: One last thing. How do you feel when people say that because you're white, that you're not allowed to rap?
A: I think that rap is a very free and expressive form of art. It lets the person really get into their feelings and tell a story, and I think that anyone should be able to rap, no matter the age, gender, race, or anything. It's just music.

They can easily photoshop the photo, I can do it myself
I would suggest another mini game where it's impossible to cheat!

See the thing is the sales vary throughout hosts.
Back when CAL was first started the host would make the sales super low. The highest album week was 350,000 and the single week record was around that.
Then another host after just super inflated things. Like the #1 single would be 750k per week on average.
I wanted to make things realistic, not too high, too low but good sales. I think the average #1 single will do 300k-500k and the average #1 album every week will not too off from that.

INA INVITES HUNDREDS TO DINNER PARTY
The chef superstar turned musician will be holding an open dinner party to all this Saturday in New York City at Madison Square Park. At the event Ina will be debuting her new single which is still under wraps. "I wanted to create an atmosphere where people can eat and listen to music for free. The menu will serve food that people are familiar with like tuna tartar, gazpacho, and tortellini with truffle oil. The basics. The people who donate $5000 and up will sit in what I like to call 'The Ballroom' area which has genuine leather seats, chandeliers, ice sculptures, and wine tasting. Everyone else will sit by the river in plastic chairs from Party City, play hop scotch, and eat leftovers."
Be sure to stop by, you won't want to miss it!!

Lyrics
He said it makes him lose his breath,
Every time I move my body like this.
He's got this feeling, raging like a storm,
I'm coming at him like a full blown swarm.
He said he hears my voice in his head,
He's thinking 'bout all the things I've said.
Now he's thinking what he wants to do,
Says "C'mon baby, it's just me and you."
(CHORUS)
Should I give him that good stuff?
Should I make it feel nice or rough?
Should I give it to him easy?
Rock me out boy, and make me queazy.
(DRAKE VERSE) - SINGING
I make her drop it and then pick it up.
I like it when she shows off her stuff.
I wanna take her home with me.
And rock it out like a boat on the sea.
She's got a valley girl attitude,
Only one thing I wanna do,
Go to Vegas, hit the jackpot,
And by that I mean the good spot.
(RAP)
She's got it hot like a desert,
But she's wet like an oasis,
The way she moves those hips,
Man damn it 's dangerous.
I need to take insurance,
I need to take her home.
Pop bottles of champagne,
To put her in the zone.
(CHORUS)
Should I give him that good stuff?
Should I make it feel nice or rough?
Should I give it to him easy?
Rock me out boy, and make me queazy.
Now he's got me in the bedroom,
Face to face, yeah he can smell my perfume.
Got me sensual and sleazy,
Rock me out boy and make me queazy.
(BRIDGE)
Get my insides to do flip flops,
Keep going till I tell you to stop.
Seduce you with the way I move my hips.
Now stop talking, put it on my lips.
(CHORUS)
Should I give him that good stuff?
Should I make it feel nice or rough?
Should I give it to him easy?
Rock me out boy, and make me queazy.
Now he's got me in the bedroom,
Face to face, yeah he can smell my perfume.
Got me sensual and sleazy,
Rock me out boy and make me queazy.

Nn, at least mine were reasonable. 600k was like the MAXIMUM, but it wasn't always that high. FKOT just smashed. A pure smash.
