Yahoo Music has enlisted MTV to help distribute Nissan Live Sets, an online music performance series the company has helped produce.

Live Sets consists of seven or eight songs from an artist, taped in high definition for a live studio audience. It has included performances by Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera and has been viewed over 10 million times thus far.

The series will appear on MHD, the high definition arm of MTV, starting September 17, reports the New York Post.
