Daft Punk Gave Phoenix Their Radio Premiere

(Radio.com) The first time Phoenix ever heard themselves on the radio, they were hanging out in the living room of lead singer Thomas Mars' parents house in Versailles. A fellow French band making their own radio debut premiered two of their songs for the world to hear.

"It was the guys from Daft Punk who were interviewed by a small radio station," Mars told Radio.com.

It was the electronic duo's very first interview ever with a tiny French radio station. Though no one knows how many people were actually listening that night, Mars ventured to guess it was in "the three digits."

Daft Punk played both songs from Phoenix's first 7-inch, "City Lights" and "Party Time," which later appeared on the band's 2000 debut, United. more on this story

Blake Shelton Premieres The Chickeneers

(Radio.com) Last week, Blake Shelton visited Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Currently promoting his new release Based On A True Story…, which came out Tuesday (March 26), Shelton performed alongside Fallon and Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman for a performance. Normal enough, except they were all wearing fluffy, yellow chicken costumes.

"Ladies and gentleman, here to perform an all-clucking version of the hit song 'Ho, Hey' by The Lumineers, please welcome The Chickeneers!"

And with a strum of the guitar and a cluck, they began the hilarious cover, if you can even call it that. Watch it here.

Nicholas Sparks Inspired A Rocket To The Moon

(Radio.com) When it came time to record their sophomore album Wild & Free, A Rocket To the Moon decided to take a different approach and enlisted the help of several Nashville co-writers. But during an interview with Radio.com, frontman Nick Santino and guitarist Justin Richards explained that there was one writer in particular that held major influence on the band: romance writer for the masses, Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, A Walk To Remember).

One of the first tracks the band wrote for Wild & Free was "First Kiss," a song the band is convinced would make for a great feature in a Nicholas Sparks film. "We tried to just write about the act of a first kiss at that age in our life," Richards said.

Santino said it's important for A Rocket To the Moon to write relatable songs. "As cheesy as it is, a first kiss happens to pretty much everybody," he said. "It was the first song we wrote for the album. We kind of tucked it away for a while and wrote a bunch more songs and when it came to picking songs for the album that was one of the first ones we brought up. It's been getting good feedback so far and I think it's because it's super relatable."

"First Kiss" is a soaring ballad that describes a first date in vivid detail and isn't a long way off from each member's own first kiss.

"It reminds me of being in sixth grade, seventh grade and not being able to drive myself [to a date] and you get dropped off at the house," Richards said. "Dad answers the door and you're scared of him." more on this story

Kacey Musgraves Tops Charts By Not Taking Herself Too Seriously

(Radio.com) Justin Timberlake might have nearly broken a million this week, but Kacey Musgraves got herself to the top of the charts too. The singer, who sold 43,000 copies of her latest album in its debut week, Same Trailer Different Park, landed at number one on the Top Country Albums chart.

The singer told Radio.com she hopes fans relate to the small-town themes on her album and the funny stories she tells about the people who live there.

"I don't ever want to be taken too seriously," she said. "I love a song that makes people think, but I love to laugh too…if there can be a sarcastic tongue and cheek point in it then I love that."

That's one of Musgraves' favorite parts of her first single, "Merry Go 'Round," which cleverly plays off the word merry. The idea came from a story her songwriting partner Shane McAnally's mom told her.

"It started because Shane's mom was talking about one of her neighbors down the street," she said. "And she was like, 'I think she's selling either Mary Kay or Mary Jane or something down there.'" more on this story

The Big Machine and Taylor Swift

(Radio.com) "Individuality" and "a sense of who they are"–according to Big Machine Label Group CEO and president Scott Borchetta, those are some of the key characteristics that define the artists he signs. Borchetta sat down for an interview today with CBS This Morning and talked about the state of country music and country radio, how and why the format is skewing younger, and some of the rumors surrounding the artist that Big Machine is best known for, Taylor Swift.

Founded in 2005, the Big Machine Label Group (which also includes the labels Valory and Republic Nashville) is the home of such superstar acts as Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, and of course Taylor Swift. The label group is also home to such up-and-coming artists as Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore, Florida Georgia Line, and the Eli Young Band. As CBS This Morning notes, "Combined, Borchetta's artists have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide." In this day and age, that's a lot of music.

The label's biggest success story remains Taylor Swift, who was among the first artists on Big Machine. Though she was only 14 when Borchetta first heard her, Taylor's young age was not a deterrent to him. "What I saw in Taylor was…just a great artist," he says in the interview. "Even at 14 years old I was enamored by her songwriting prowess, and just her process. So I just always saw her as a great artist."

And that term "great artist" has serious weight for him. As he explains it, the main thing he's looking for when he signs an artist is "individuality." In other words, he says, an artist who "has an artist vision and a sense of who they are and what they want to say." Music fans are "not going to hear artists on our label that sound like other artists. I don't need somebody that sounds like Tim McGraw. I have Tim McGraw." more on this story

Help Carly Rae Jepsen Write Her Next Song

(Radio.com) Carly Rae Jepsen is taking fans into her songwriting world for her latest project. In partnership with American Idol and Coca-Cola, Jepsen is allowing fans to choose the lyrics for her song "Take A Picture," which she'll perform on the season finale of American Idol on May 16. The eight-week project has different tasks for each fan every week leading up to her performance.

"It's going to be this sort of mass collaboration with the fans, so basically it wasn't just writing one song, it was like writing one song with three different versions," Jepsen told Rolling Stone about the process. "It was like those storybooks where there are alternate endings. The whole concept was we would create a song that all of the elements of the performance could be voted on – the clothing the dancers wear, the background, the setting of the stage design, the lighting, everything. I liked the idea. I actually spent three days cooped up in my hotel room in the Bahamas, mapping out this idea of a song called 'Take a Picture.'"

Fans can help choose lyrics for the first verse of her song as well as enter to win a trip to the finale to watch her perform it live. While Jepsen isn't quite sure how her fans will vote, she's excited for the final product. more on this story

Miguel Collaborates With Kendrick Lamar

(Radio.com) Miguel recently announced the video for "How Many Drinks," from his Kaleidoscope Dream album, and revealed that Kendrick Lamar is the surprise guest feature.

From the set of his video, Miguel live-streamed the announcement, along with Kendrick. "I thought it would be really cool to incorporate the fans in a really big day," Miguel said. "I'm really excited for everyone to see the visuals that we've come up with and put some thought into."

Miguel said the union with the Compton rapper was important for reasons beyond the musical connection with an in-demand MC. He hopes to show how West Coast-based artists can work together.

"Being from Los Angeles I'm really keen on working with artists from my hometown," he said. "Most of them are my friends. We've had the opportunity to run into each other and to do shows together and hang out. For this single, it was really important to remind people there is unity amongst musicians in Los Angeles, and hopefully create a really special moment that sparks even more creative connections and creativity between Los Angeles artists."
