Gin Blossoms No Chocolate Cake Best since New Miserable Experience

Yes, I am a Gin Blossoms fan. Saw them 20 years ago and when they reformed 12 years ago. Yes, I did write them off after Major Lodge Victory. Too soon. The group's new CD is terrific. No Choc-o-late (that's how I pronounce it) Cake is one of their best.

Marketing Sociologist's top 3 2010 songs

A year ago thought Ke$ha would take my top fave of 2010. Didn't think a song better than Tik Tok would come along. Loved Taylor Swift's 2010 efforts. Yet, when it all came to 2011, the winner was the Disney star who once told Hannah Montana, I'm going to take all your fans. She was accurate.

So, #1 A Year Without Rain; #2, Tik Tok, & #3 Round & Round

Taylor Swift ties top "out of the Box" CD sales for century with 50 Cent

Taylor Swift Speak Now tied with 50 Cent's 2005 CD for top album of the century for first week sales. Speak Now accounted for 20 percent of all CDs sold in the past week.

Will Taylor Swift repeat history in 2011 21st Century marketing genius Marketing Sociologist recommends a holiday 2011 greatest hits 2 CDs

Taylor Swift releases her fourth CD, if you include the holiday CD, in October in time for the holiday buying frenzy. Yes, she will be #1 Billboard hot albums in November.

She started 2010 on a concert tour that sold out in 2009 in less than 12 minutes. Expect the same this year as history repeats itself for Ms. Swift.

She'll be 21 in 2011. She's been on the charts non-stop since 2007. How many artists can claim that?

Swift follows in the wisdom of many other artists. As soon as one single peaks on the chart and is waning, she releases another. Unlike other artists, I've yet to hear a bad, or sound-alike, single from Swift. I don't know how she does it.

My advice would be milk about five songs out of Speak Now CD, a duet with maybe her idols, The Dixie Chicks, or whatever they are now, as she had done in the past with Boys Like Girls, Colbie Caillat, a couple movie tunes, like she did with Valentine's Day.

For 2011, after the spring and summer tour, I recommend a greatest hits package. Do like The Beatles did with the red and blue albums - two different albums. Don't combine them. No rhyme nor reason for songs on the two, just two greatest hits CDs. I recommend Left and Right. Confuse people. Hands, body parts or since 2012 is election year....

Then pull a George Jones. Announce the 2012 hiatus tour. KISS has been on a farewell tour for 10 years. How long ago did Cher do her farewell tour; The Eagles? Swift is not stupid. Do a hiatus tour. Lay low, maybe acting gigs, until 2015. Let all the music begin to creep off the charts - then bam, summer of 2015 another CD and 2016 tour, announced in 2015 - instant sellout.

21st Century music marketing: Release a new single Selena Gomez & Taylor Swift keys to succes Pulchritude still sells

Selena Gomez' Round & Round fell to #3 from #1 on Radio Disney this week. Gomez is an ideal 21st Century music marketer, like her equally as talented contemporary, Taylor Swift. Just this week Gomez released a new single, Year Without Rain.

Swift does the same; as soon as one single fizzles, have another in the wings. Britney Spears used to use that tactic. Even The Beatles and Elvis Presley, so it is nothing new.

Lastly, I need to know what this trend of photographs in videos is? Thought everyone was viewing them on SmartPhones today.
