Lady Gaga kicks off the series, while Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and others are set to perform.

Lady Gaga will perform on Friday, May 27th, just days following the release of her new album “Born This Way.” Her concert will be free but ticketed, while the rest of the shows will be free and open to the public.

Confirmed acts for the series include Beyoncé, Selena Gomez, Nicki Minaj, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Taio Cruz, Florence + the Machine, and the Top 11 American Idol contestants.

SilverDisc Music Top Ten as of 10/27/09: Maze Takes #1

Silky Soul Music is the brainchild of Frankie Beverly’s son, Anthony, who is serving as the project’s executive and co-producer. Beverly developed the idea to properly honor his father’s contributions to the music industry in a way that has never been done before. It is the first and only album recognizing Beverly and Maze’s nearly 40-year career including 12 albums and 30 hit singles. The 10 songs selected for the CD represent some of Maze and Frankie Beverly’s greatest hits. Featured are a host of Grammy Award winning and nominated gold and platinum-selling artists in R&B and Gospel, including Joe, Kevon Edmonds, Mary J. Blige, Ledisi, Mint Condition, Raheem DeVaughn, and the Clark Sisters.

The number two album of the week is Green Day’s “21st Century Breakdown”, the Punk trio’s long-awaited eighth studio album. The album is the best-selling trio’s first studio album since 2004′s two-time Grammy Award-winning Punk Rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide. 21st Century Breakdown is divided into three acts: “Heroes and Cons,” “Charlatans and Saints,” and “Horseshoes and Handgrenades,” and follows a young couple, Christian and Gloria, through the mess and promise of the century so far. Songs include “Know Your Enemy”, “21 Guns”, “East Jesus Nowhere”, “Before the Lobotomy”, and “Restless Heart Syndrome.” 

The remaining top ten is as follows:

3. Backstreet Boys – This Is Us-Special Edition
