- Akon, having already covered Fall Out Boy’s “The Take Over, The Break’s Over,” says he would now like to collaborate with Pete Wentz’s band. Given both artists’ fondness for royal rumbling with audience members, it sounds like a match made in WWE heaven.
- Super-comp NOW! 25 grabbed the top spot on the Billboard Charts with 223,000 copies sold, marking the 12th time a NOW! disc has taken number one. Miley Cyrus, T.I., the Hairspray soundtrack and Colbie Caillat rounded out the top five. The Smashing Pumpkins and Interpol both dropped out of the top ten after one week.
- Burger King, obviously threatened by McDonald’s foray into the music business, will offer DRM-free tracks of Robbie Williams, Corinne Bailey Rae and Whopper-loving Iron Maiden.
- Annie Leibovitz will snap portraits of John Mayer wearing a $39.50 sweater vest for an upcoming Gap ad.
- The Who’s Roger Daltrey likens royalties to a pension plan as he protests the U.K.’s current copyright laws.
