[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA CALLS 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER' 'SO UNIQUE'
Back in July, on the set of the "Moves Like Jagger" video, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine made a compelling argument for the song to be crowned the Song of Summer, stating, rather matter-of-factly, "There's not even any other songs being released this summer."Turns out he was wrong. Not only were there other songs released during summer 2011 (we checked), but, as it turns out, "Jagger" may end up being the Song of Fall too.
For the fourth week, the song — which also features Christina Aguilera — sits atop the Billboard Hot 100, beating the likes of Adele, Lady Gaga and Eminem. And it shows no signs of vacating the #1 spot anytime soon. Maroon 5 even released a rap remix with up-and-coming MC Mac Miller online earlier today. And while the success of "Jagger" is certainly impressive, it's equally amazing to learn that it's the first chart-topper for Aguilera in 10 years (her last being 2001's "Lady Marmalade").
So understandably, Aguilera is thrilled. Then again, as she told MTV News in a statement Thursday (September 29), she knew "Jagger" was destined for greatness from the moment it was first played for her.
"The first time I heard the song, I loved it," she said. "The song has elements from the '60s and '70s, yet is so current and unique."
Aguilera shows up in the Jonas Åkerlund-directed "Jagger" video, and she'll return to judging duties on the second season of "The Voice" too. Buoyed by the success of her team-up with Maroon 5, she's already at work on a new album — the follow-up to 2010's Bionic — reportedly due next summer.

[NEWS] FOX'S 'X FACTOR' FAILS TO FIRE UP THE KEY DEMOGRAPHIC FALLING BELOW 'THE VOICE'
Primetime's latest singing competition series, Fox's "The X-Factor," bowed to solid but unspectacular numbers Wednesday, a night that saw ABC close strong with series highs for "Modern Family" - the night's No. 1 show in demos - and a good start for drama "Revenge."
According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, the Simon Cowell-fronted "X-Factor" opened with a two-hour episode that averaged a 4.2 rating/12 share in adults 18-49 and 12.1 million viewers overall - below the 5.1 demo score that NBC's "The Voice" notched with its premiere in late April, and less than one-half the 9.8 that Fox's "American Idol" opened with in mid-January. While very good fall premiere numbers for any other new show, expectations industry wide were that "X-Factor" would come out of the gate quite a bit stronger.Source: Variety

[NEWS] 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER' HITS THE TOP OF BILLBOARD'S HOT 100 FOR A THIRD WEEK
As previously reported, the Billboard Hot 100's splashiest headline this week comes courtesy of Tony Bennett, who becomes the oldest living artist ever to appear on the tally. His duet with Amy Winehouse, "Body and Soul," enters the chart at No. 88, lifting the 85-year-old past then-84-year-old George Burns (in 1980) for the esteemed honor.Still, other news infuses this week's chart.
Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, spends a third week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, roaring to the No. 1 spot on Radio Songs and holding atop Digital Songs.
"Jagger" blasts 5-1 on Radio Songs with a 14% gain to 123 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. The song marks Maroon 5's first No. 1 on the chart, passing the twin No. 5 peaks of "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved" in 2004. Aguilera celebrates her third time singing on the country's most-heard song: her debut pop smash "Genie in a Bottle" reigned for three weeks in 1999 and "Lady Marmalade," with Lil' Kim, Mya and P!nk, led for six frames in 2001.
The 5-1 vault of "Jagger" on Radio Songs is the greatest since Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" bounded 6-1 on the Nov. 28, 2009, chart.
"Jagger" leads Digital Songs for a fourth frame with 221,000 downloads sold (up 1%), according to Nielsen SoundScan.

[NEWS] 'I'M WRITING SO MUCH. I'VE BEEN INSPIRED BY...THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE HIGHS, THE LOWS...'
Christina Aguilera will never put movies before her music career.The 30-year-old star made her film debut last year in 'Burlesque', and while she is looking for more cinematic projects, she insists her main focus will always be as a singer.
She said: "I'm always reading scripts. 'Burlesque' was something that came to my door that I was truly inspired to do. It was the right time and place for me to dive into that world I've always been inspired by.
"But I'm not going to do back-to-back movies just to do them. Music is always my first love and where my time and attention will remain.
"But film is something that will be on my mind and I am looking for the next project."
Christina split from her husband Jordan Bratman - the father of her three-year-old son Max - last year and she admits their break-up and subsequent divorce has inspired some tracks for her next album.
She told Britain's Hello! magazine: "I'm in the studio now working on my next album and I'm writing so much. I've been inspired by a lot over the past year, the experiences I've had, the good, the bad, the highs, the lows - it will all be apparent in the lyrics.
"The mood of the album will be very introspective, heartfelt and deep rooted."
