It’s still going strong! The debut release from Big Time Rush is currently the #2 selling album at iTunes. Just how good are sales… we’ll find out next week, but the odds are good that this will be the best selling Tween/Teen TV Soundtrack of the year.

A promo video is now online for the new TBS comedy Glory Daze, starring Drew Seeley and Kelly Blatz. Click here to check it out!

The lastest video update from Varsity Fanclub includes their recent appearance on Tigerentenclub (Tigerduck Club) in Germany.
