Taylor Swift proceeded a outstanding year by overriding the 2013 version of Billboard.com's Mid-Year Music Awards sample, which allowed fans to weigh in on their very popular creative persons, pieces of music, albums and presentation of the first six months of the year. After voting formally resolved when June revolved over into July, hundreds of thousands of entries were tallied and the 23-year-old country superstar came out on peak in three key classes,including the coveted First-Half MVP contest.

Swift, whose fourth studio album "Red" scored the biggest debut sales week of 2012 upon its release last October, has spent much of 2013 supporting the full-length on her massive Red world tour, which began in March and will continue through December. The singer has also taken time to perform at ceremonies like the 55th Annual Grammy Awards and the 2013 Billboard Music Awards -- the latter at which she also won the Artist of the Year trophy -- while also collecting more hits like "I Knew You Were Trouble, "22" and "Everything Has Changed" to follow her first Hot 100 chart-topper, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." 

Billboard.com fans did their part in recognizing Swift's many achievements over the past six months: she was named First-Half MVP, topping artists like Justin Timberlake and Beyonce handily; "Red," which returned to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart earlier this year, was bestowed with the 'Favorite Billboard 200 No. 1 Album' award; and the Red tour trumped Rihanna's Diamonds tour to earn the title of the voter's favorite live show on 2013.

On her first solo album the preceding three were credited to Selena Gomez and the view – this 21-year-old actor/singer has a there-but-not-there value reminiscent of Britney Spears. You don't expect lacerating familiarity from a previous Disney celebrity, but Gomez fails to impose so much as a trace of character: from the electro-punk opener anniversary onward, she's competent and solely impersonal. But that's no impediment to enjoying the record, which darts effectively from EDM to Bollywood to Beliebers, look away now sappiness motivated by her on-off beau, Justin Bieber. Gomez assuredly carves out a part of the dance-pop terrain overridden by Rihanna and Beyoncé, and that encompasses the sexing-up of lyrics (it's tame stuff, though: "Can't believe my body's still moving, we must be doing certain thing right" and so on). On the chirpy reggae/soca number Like a Champion, her reedy vocals are a dead ringer for Rihanna's, though that's eclipsed by her likeness to Miley Cyrus on arrive & Get It. Gomez's tweeny public should be beginning to outgrow her, but Stars promenade is vibrant sufficient to hold them trusted a bit longer.

Britney Spears' "Ooh La La" lone, which directs the forthcoming soundtrack to "The Smurfs 2," has obtained a colorful, kid-friendly music video vband by "kid-friendly," we mean that Spears' two children, Preston and Jayden, make gleeful appearances beside their mom in the clip.

At the start of the video, Spears is observing "The Smurfs 2" with her young kids by her edge just another day at the videos, right? Wrong! The pop superstar is shortly zapped through the silver screen and goes into Smurf Village, where she twirls, gasps and shimmies beside those adorable little Smurfs. There's a ton of footage from "The Smurfs 2," included an expanded chase sequence in a bakery, and as the summery electro-pop pathway performances on, Spears is shown dancing with both the Smurf clan and her two sons in distinct sequences.

"Ooh La La," which was made by Dr. Luke, Ammo and Cirkut, was issued last month as the lead single from "The Smurfs 2" soundtrack, due out July 23. The recital has peaked at No. 85 on the warm 100 journal and increases from No. 25-23 on this week's Pop pieces of music tally.
