MUSICAL NOTES
- After a disastrous 2007, Britney Spears was back in 2008 with a new album that spawned the hit single, "Womanizer." Spears also won a bunch of awards at MTV's Video Music Awards in September. And who could forget her big birthday celebration on Good Morning America?
- Miley Cyrus just got bigger and bigger in 2008. Several of her singles climbed the charts. She also caused controversy for some sexy shower pictures she took that wound up on the Internet.
- The Jonas Brother are probably the most annoying band out there. They make adults cringe and teen girls swoon. They were everywhere in 2008 and will hopefully be nowhere in 2009.
- David Cook beat out David Archuleta to win American Idol. Both went on to have hit singles in 2008.
- After 10 years on the air, TRL was canceled in 2008. Carson Daly returned for the finale, which aired live on MTV. Guests included Fall Out Boy, Diddy, Ludacris, Kid Rock and the Backstreet Boys.
- MTV's ratings dropped almost 25% in the fourth quarter of 2008. In response, they're launching even more lame reality shows. How about some music?
- Mariah Carey made headlines for her marriage to much-younger Nick Cannon.
- Ashlee Simpson had a baby girl with rocker husband Pete Wentz.
- New Kids on the Block got back together and had a hit with their single, "Summertime."
- Chris Brown, Rihanna, T.I., Lil Wayne, Coldplay and Taylor Swift were probably the biggest musical success stories of 2008.
