My fifth and final blog post about the music industry will be about the return of 'X-Factor'. This talent show allows regular people to show off their musical gift for the chance of making it big. Although many attempt the show, and many are talented, few actually have a successful career at the end of it. The biggest stars to emerge from the show are boyband '1 Direction'. Even though they did not win the contest their fan base has grown majorly, allowing them to tour around the world and even release a film. Last years winner James Arthur, who secured Christmas No.1, has been quiet in the music world, since his time on X-Factor.

Here is last years winner James Arthur with his winner song 'Impossible'.

My 4th post will about the concert held in memory of Stephen Lawrence. Many stars of the UK music industry came together to mark the memory of teenager Stephen Lawrence who was brutally murdered in 1993. This shows how close the music industry is to each other and how caring they are towards their fans. The concert was held in the O2 Arena in London last night to mark the 20th anniversary of Stephens death.

Here is a short video in which artists speak in support if the Stephen Lawrence Charity.

My third blog will be about Miley Cyrus. Her controversial song 'We Can't Stop' has caused her to become a worldwide star. Since its upload, the video has received over 2million views on YouTube, and had gathered a number of dislike, leading to many different parodies of her songs. Miley has also received criticism about her 'Twerking', this is an internet dance craze which Miley performed at the VMA's with fellow artist Robin Thicke. This led to more criticising for both artists.

Miley has brought out another single 'Wrecking Ball', which had received further bad press, mainly do to the explicit content featuring a wrecking ball and Cyrus. The 20 year old takes the criticising well and will continue to produce controversial songs if it allows her to make more money.

Here is her song 'Wrecking Ball'.

My second post will be similar to the first as it is about another artist releasing another album. This artist is Tinie Tempah and in late 2013 he aims to release his second album 'Demonstration'. Having already securing a Double-Platinum debut album 'Disc-Overy',  Tinie will be sure that 'Demonstration' will have the same success. 'Disc-Overy' debuted at Number 1 on the UK album charts, giving Tinie a good base for his second album. Tinie has also stated that he will be doing his UK tour in December this year, after his previous sell out tour, he will be hoping to achieve the same success this year. He has released one song of the 'Demonstration' album so far called 'Trampoline' this has peaked at no.3 in the UK charts. Tinie will be releasing a second song 'Children of the Sun' featuring John Martin on 28th October.

This is Tinie Tempah's song 'Trampoline' featuring rapper 2Chainz.

My first post will be the return of rapper Eminem to music. He has brought out two new singles 'Berzerk' and 'Survival'. He will also be releasing a new album called 'Marshall Mathers LP II' in late 2013, which will be his 8th album release. This will definitely be a success as he a a massive following. XXL Magazine listed it 5th in 'Most Anticipated Albums of 2013. even before the album was titled. Following his recent appearance at the Reading and Leeds festival his hit song 'Lose Yourself' has climbed back into the charts.
