Pop/Rock Artists to Watch in '09
Here are my predictions for some artists that are going to dominate the pop/rock music scene this year: Kelly Clarkson - Her first single, “My Life Would Suck Without You” just broke the record for the largest first-to-second week jump (#97 to #1) in Billboard history.

YouTube Community vs. WMG + Google  →
I have to side with Warner Music Group on this one. They pretty much own the music they have the licensing rights to.
