Summer is at its peak, and that means the music festival season is in full swing.  Billboard reports that music is going green, and festival organizers are committed to reduce the carbon footprint of their multi-day events.  From solar powered stages to transportation efficiency, Mother Earth is sure to benefit.  Now let’s see what’s topping our chart on the Top 10 Music Countdown.

Number 10 is another milestone in O.A.R’s storied career.  They holed themselves up in a studio in LA to work on their latest, “All Sides.” 

The Original Cast Recording at 9 is from a milestone musical that critics are calling relevant and funk-inflected.  You don’t wanna pass up “Passing Strange.” 

 John Mellencamp is pushing the tech envelope with his latest.  Recorded in a brand new Hi-Def audio format called CODE, 8 is “Life, Death, Love & Freedom.” 

Nas is back and more controversial than ever on his new untitled Def Jam release.  7 is his 9th studio album, dissecting issues like race and power on “Nas.” 

 6 is the third album from Grammy Award winning multi platinum artist Los Lonely Boys. With elements of RockNRoll, Blues, Soul, Country and Tejano, it’s “Forgiven.”

The release date for this album has changed 3 times!  I guess The Game is keeping his fans salivating for more.  Flying into the 5th spot, it’s “LAX.”  

Sugarland, co-wrote all the tracks on their third studio album.  The superduo debuted their single “All I want to Do” live on the ACM awards. 4 is “Love on the Inside.”    

They’ve tweaked their signature Britpop sound—but stuck with their knack for mid-tempo majesty.  Expanded with studio bells and whistles, 3 is Coldplay with “Viva La Vida.” 

Her Disney alter ego is Hannah Montana, but Miley Cyrus is coming out on her own.  2 is her first full length album under her own name and it’s called “Breakout.”

Claiming the top spot is an album with a tightly assembled group of songs that range from introspective to humorous.  It’s Beck’s first new album since 2005, “Modern Guilt.”

I love the music scene in the summer.  Nothing like dancing all night long to the summertime hits with my friends!  Plus the awesome outdoor concerts…or just listening to my mp3s on the sand.  To stock up on all your musical needs, be it CD or mp3, Buy.com offers savings up to 45% off list prices!  What are you gonna spin this month?  Who knows—but you can get it at Buy.com.
