HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!: Katy Perry, Neon Trees, and Paulina Rubio and Espinazo Paz

"PART OF ME"    KATY PERRY

Katy Perry is re-releasing her Grammy nominated CD, Teenage Dream, with bonus tracks.  The CD will highlight a summer movie for Katy which is part bio-pic and part 3-D concert.   Katy is the 6th highest all-time sales leader in digital music sales and was voted MTV's Performer of the Year in 2011.

"EVERYBODY TALKS"    NEON TREES

"It started with a whisper....." Neon Trees are following up their mega smash "Animal" in 2010 with another chart topper. Neon Trees members are Mormons and have had impetus using this song in a commercial for the Buick Verano.   It's got a bouncy summer vibe and you've got to love the grindhouse scary movie themed video for a top 40 pop song!

"ME VOY"  PAULINA RUBIO y ESPINOZO PAZ

Paulina has 12 #1 hit songs in Mexico but has barely registered on the US charts.  "Don't Say Goodbye" was on heavy rotation on MTV's TRL in 2002 but her Spanish language CD's haven't hit the US mainstream.   This is a new duet that is a remix from the version originally released on her "Brava" CD.
