[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA, MAROON 5, KE$HA & MORE WANT YOU TO ROCK THE VOTE!

Thanks to Rock The Vote, there’s a bevy of musical badasses who are putting their pop power behind this year’s youth voter push. It's a democratic get-down you really don’t wanna miss! Founded to combat musical censorship back in the early 90s (their OG Madonna ads are PRICELESS for her accent alone), Rock The Vote has now grown into the biggest non-partisan voter registration org in America. It’s all about young people having a say in who runs this country (Beyonce has already cast her vote) and 2012 is gonna be no different.

Partnering with national and community organizations, technology companies, college campuses, artists and a little media network known as MTV, RTV plans to boost youth turnout by registering a whopping 1.5 million new voters. And they’ve enlisted some big name ambassadors to help turn up the volume on this year’s campaign: Christina Aguilera, Maroon 5, Nas, Jason Derulo, Kat Graham, Ke$ha and Keri Hilson, who was on hand yesterday when RTV announced its big goal.

And don’t think they’re stopping at just rocking. In response to the totally blown up electronic dance music (EDM) scene, RTV has teamed up with Insomniac Events (the superbass team who put on Electric Daisy Carnival and other electronica extravaganzas) to launch Spin The Vote -- a new youth voter drive rolling out at packed EDM festivals across the country. So if you’re more Kaskade than Ke$ha, this is the registration route for you -- fight for your right to dance!

[NEWS] 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER' BREAKS NEW RECORD BETWEEN TWO 'BEST NEW ARTIST' WINNERS & REACHES PLATINUM CERTIFICATION IN THE U.S.A.

Though Mick Jagger hasn't topped the Hot 100 in 33 years, he remains an icon. "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera this week becomes the second #1 hit in less than two years that name-checks the rock legend. The first was Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," which spent the first nine weeks of 2010 at #1.

Both references are highly flattering: Jagger was depicted as a hottie in Ke$ha's song and as a classic mover in the Maroon 5 smash. Even so, I suspect he'd trade the flattery for a hit of his own. Jagger hasn't topped the Hot 100 since August 1978, when the Rolling Stones scored with their dance/rock blend, "Miss You." That was the band's eighth #1 hit. They scored their first, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," in July 1965.

"Moves Like Jagger" is Maroon 5's second #1 hit, following 2007's "Makes Me Wonder." It's Aguilera's fifth; her first since 2002, when she scored with another collabo, "Lady Marmalade," which she sang with Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink. "Lady Marmalade" was boosted by a movie, Moulin Rouge. "Jagger" owes its popularity to a TV show, NBC's The Voice, on which both singers are judges.

The song is #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the second time in three weeks. It sold 217,000 copies this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, bringing its 10-week total to 1,326,000. It jumps from #15 to #11 on Top Radio Songs, with 72 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.

Both Maroon 5 and Aguilera won Grammys for Best New Artist (for 2004 and 1999, respectively). This marks the first time that two former Best New Artist winners have collaborated on a Hot 100 hit, much less a #1. If that doesn't get them booked on the Grammy telecast in February, nothing will.

[PHOTO] THE SEVEN VILLAINS OF POP

The harvest of the human seed, the Earth is a corpse field, collected on the wagons, catapulted into mass graces. Foul air corrodes the skin. The trumpets sound the alarm of the overwhelming onslaught.

Deep gaps do open, devouring the dead. Horribly distorted faces leaking decay. No conflict resolution, no bond to fix the fault lines. Take the breath from the Earth. And again and again the clouds will come. Split the sky, consume the drowning horizon.

Fire red as it flashes, but does not thunder. Embrace the hour of devastation. Bringer of war. Take the breath from the Earth. Bringer of war. Take the breath from the Earth. There will never be peace. We will never be safe again.

No conflict resolution, no bond to fix the fault lines. Take the breath from the Earth. No history to tell, no legacy to leave behind, no future generation. Take the breath from the Earth.

Funeral for a failing race. A mass of graves where the soil bleeds. reborn from the rotted caskets. This is the harvest of the human seed. The Earth is a corpse field.

THE EARTH MUST COME TO AN END.
