PLACEBO TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘BRIGHT LIGHTS’ ON FEBRUARY 8TH
Having had an incredible year to date which has seen the band play to over 1 million people across the globe, Placebo have announced they are to release a new version of ‘Bright Lights’, mixed by Dave Bascombe (Soulwax, Goldfrapp, LadyHawke and Funeral For A Friend) on February 8th 2010 to continue where they left off in 2009.
The single will feature new remixes from the multi-talented Alex Metric and D’n’B new kid on the block, Randomer.
With their latest album ‘Battle For The Sun’ having sold over half a million sales worldwide so far this year and garnering critical acclaim across the board, Placebo have proved themselves to be just as relevant as they ever were:
“This is Placebo’s most coherent, energized album to date, displaying an unswerving focus.” - Classic Rock
“New album ‘Battle For The Sun’ is among some of Placebo’s finest work.” - Kerrang!
“Magnificently airy, stadium-sized tunes.” - The Telegraph
“Experience all the benefits of a great band.” - NME
“Placebo at their breathtaking, irresistible best.” - Mojo
Placebo recently claimed ‘Best Alternative‘ award at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2009, voted for by fans, showing the high regard they are still held in. Add that to their upcoming UK arena tour, which takes in London’s The O2, and you’ve got a very successful year.

SUPER JUNIOR-M "SUPER GIRL" ALBUM IS NUMBER ONE!
The Asian superstar group's latest CD outsold albums by Andrea Bocelli (My Christmas), Michael Jackson (This Is It) and Taylor Swift (Fearless Platinum Edition). This is the SECOND NUMBER ONE for Super Junior and they are the ONLY Asian act to have TWO NUMBER ONE ALBUMS in the Philippines. This further confirms the strong support the group is getting from their solid followers here! Universal Records is the FIRST record label in the country to have THREE NUMBER ONE Asian Pop albums - Super Junior "Sorry Sorry", Girls' Generation "Genie" and now Super Junior-M "Super Girl"!
Super Junior-M often referred to as SJ-M, is the third official sub-unit of Korean boy band Super Junior. The group consists of Super Junior members Han Geng (the leader), Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and two other members, Henry and Zhou Mi. The "Super Girl" mini-album contains songs written by some of the best Korean songwriters including Yoo Young-jin, who has penned music for Boa and TVXQ, and E-Tribe, best known for Girls' Generation's hit single "Gee". The album tracks are sung in Chinese, as the group mostly work in China. The seven members become every girl's superman for their first single "Super Girl", a mega-catchy club dance number similar in style to the Super Junior hit "Sorry Sorry". Helmed by the director of "Mirotic" and "Gee", the "Super Girl" music video has a house party theme and features the guys' hot dance moves plus a cute guest appearance by Girls' Generation's Jessica. Other than "Super Girl", Super Junior M's first mini-album comes with four more Mandarin ballads and fast numbers including "Blue Tomorrow" and "Only U".

02. 到了明天(Blue Tomorrow)
03. 告白(Confession)
04. 動情 (Only U)
05. 愛情接力(You & Me)

Philstar.com | Please be careful with Christian's heart
MANILA, Philippines - Christian Bautista realizes his dream of meeting Katy Perry in the flesh last week when Katy guested with him on the ABS-CBN late-morning show Showtime. Christian gladly agreed to do the job of interviewing Katy for ASAP 09.Lower photo: In a recording session two weeks ago in PT Aquarius Recording Studio in Jakarta, Indonesian soap superstar and recording artist Bungacitra Lestari gives a smile of approval as Christian manages to sing Please Be Careful With My Heart in Bahasa.
Bunga Citra bears a striking resemblance to Sarah Geronimo who does a duet of the same song with Christian in English in the Philippine release (by Universal Records) of Christian’s album Romance Revisited: The Love Songs of Jose Mari Chan. The Indonesian version will be released by PT Aquarius in January next year.
