Sony Music Entertainment is giving Mariah Carey fans the opportunity to sing their own version of a Mariah ballad and send it to their friends and family in the form of a Valentine’s Day ecard.

Fans can go to www.MyMariahBallad.com to create a special Valentine’s Day card with a personal recorded message. Using one of Mariah’s hit ballads “Dreamlover,” “Vision of Love,” or “Hero” fans can then sing the ballad themselves or use the original version sung by Mariah. The ballad along with a personal message is then embedded into an animated e-card which can be sent virally to friends and family in time for Valentine’s Day.

Enrique Iglesias success as one of the decades’ biggest stars with worldwide sales of over 40 million copies, 9 platinum or multi-platinum CDs, 19 #1 Billboard Latin hits, more than any other artist in the chart’s history, and over a half dozen top 10 singles on the Billboard Top 100 makes him overdue for a Greatest Hits album, don’t you think? In this 17-song collection, Enrique has two new songs among a catalogue of successful hits such as former #1s “Be With You” and “Hero”, as well as my favorite, “Escape,” the danceable Latin hipshaking, “Bailamos,” and “Rhythm Devine.”

To complement Tina Turner’s long-awaited return to arenas across North America this Fall, Capitol/EMI has just released Tina!, a new 18-track CD and digital collection of the eight-time Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s top hits, rare live recordings and two exclusive new tracks. Long time Tina fans will love it and new fans should embrace it.
