Big News: Kris Allen selects Alright With Me as the next single!
 Simply because Jive sucks at promoting, underrated American Idol winner Kris Allen didn't do well with his second single The Truth. I loved the video for The Truth but I felt Pat Monahan's presence was rather irrelevant. But I digress. He's moved on to his third single, the catchy, radio-friendly Alright With Me which many have been dying to see released as a single. Okay then. Hopefully, he'll regain some steam with this one and release Can't Stay Away next. Source: HERELabels: BIG NEWS, KRIS ALLEN

 The boys at Kris Allen France have shots of Kris Allen himself on the set of his latest music video for The Truth which apparently has been postponed thanks to the rain.

Newcomer Jason DeRulo's current single In My Head slips one spot to round out the top 10. Lady Gaga's Telephone continues its rise, moving up to #12 this week, and while Orianthi remains entrenched at #17 with According To You, Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying moves up one more spot to #18.
