Season two of NBC’s hit singing competition “The Voice” opened with a record-breaking premiere following the Super Bowl earlier this month. The popularity of the show has prompted the network to sign on for a third season to air in the fall of 2012, according to TheWrap.com (via Reuters).

Sources close to the show say that all four judges, Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, will return for season three. According to TheWrap’s “knowledgeable individuals,” Aguilera will receive a $10 million pay check for next season, while Green, Levine, and Shelton will receive about $6 million each.

Kenny Rogers filed a federal lawsuit Monday (Feb. 13) against his label Capitol Records, claiming the label owes him money for digital music sales. He’s also claiming he is owed $400,000 from Capitol that he has yet to receive because of a number of accounting errors. According to the suit, the second part of the claim has been an ongoing battle since 2007.

The main discrepancy lies between the sale of music and the licensing of music. When an artist’s song is licensed for distribution, that artist shares a 50/50 split of the profit with the record label. When music is sold, however, the label is able to keep a larger portion of the profit. Eminem and Peter Frampton have filed similar suits in the past, and both succeeded in winning, with the courts establishing that music sold online is considered a licensing rather than a sale. Though Rogers has not made clear the dollar amount he is hoping to recoup in this legal battle, he is putting his foot down and demanding that he receive the money he feels is rightly his.
