After crazy reports last week that he was dying from seizures, Lil Wayne is alive and well and releasing his 10th studio album, I Am Not a Human Being II.

While American Idol pop star David Archuleta may be on a three-year mission serving his Church of Latter Day Saints, he still managed to assemble ten tracks on a brand new album entitled No Matter How Far. Songs include Don't Run Away, where Archuleta's message is to face your worries and remember you are never alone.  Also, I'll Never Let Go, which is a song  particularly relevant to his travels, stating that no matter where he is, he will never be far from those that he loves. Before his mission, Archuleta recorded a number of tracks; however, he never compiled them onto an official CD until recently.  After discovering the songs online, Entertainment One decided to compile the tracks on an official album, which became No Matter How Far.

American Idol's season nine runner-up released her second album, All That For This, on Tuesday.  The story of the album began with Bowersox being dropped from Jive Records—which she referred to a "disheartening" time.  Bowersox impressively wrote or co-wrote every song on the album except for the cover of The Sundays' 1990 hit, Here's Where the Story Ends.  This year will prove to be a big year for Bowersox because not only is she launching a new CD, but also in May she will start rehearsals for her upcoming starring role in Always…Patsy Cline, a musical commemorating the 50th anniversary of the country singer's tragic plane crash death.
