If music pre-sales was a high jump competition, Madonna would win without any contest. Just a few days ago, the Queen of Pop’s upcoming album ‘Hard Candy’ was at the number 18 spot on the Amazon best sellers list for CDs and it’s not even out until the end of April. Just yesterday, the album is already at number 2. It’s not quite the top, but she’s getting there. Mariah Carey managed to move up on the list as well. She’s at number 40 – a far distance from Madonna but at least she’s already on the list. Her record will be out a full 2 weeks before Madonna’s and she wasn’t even on the top 100 of the list a couple of days ago.

The Jonas Brothers show their patriotic side when they sand the National Anthem on the South Lawn at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC on Monday morning for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. 20-year old Kevin, 18-year old Joe and 15-year old Nick belted out their best rendition of the song as thousands, including the Cat in the Hat, Tweety Bird, Charlie Brown, Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Clifford the Big Red Dog and the official White House Easter bunnies, watched them perform. It may seem like I’m kidding but really, those are the so-called people in attendance. It is a kids’ event after all.
