Rihanna Makes Chart History

It looks like Rihanna haters are about to swallow their own words up after hearing about this. I thought that she’s using Beyonce’s strategy of overexposing herself. Luckily for her, we don’t mind since the brunette Betty makes great pop tunes, unlike her lesser.

Adam Lambert's Sophomore Album Gets 2012 Release Date

The mixtape is set to be released October 24 and will be a departure from the sound that we’ve been fascinated by from Abel Tesfaye. Well, that’s according to his latest single...

Drake Shows Off His Fascination For Gold On "Take Care" Cover

Drake seems to display the lavish lifestyle that we as fans have given him on the cover for his sophomore album “Take Care”. The album is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated releases of the year with a release date of October 24, 2011.

"Take Care" will be available in three different versions — standard edition, Birthday Edition, and the chopped & screwed Take Care OG Ron C Edition — which will allow Drake to snag that #1 on the charts much quicker. Collaborators include Lil’ Wayne, Florence Welch, Stevie Wonder, The Weeknd, Rick Ross, and more.

It took me a few spins before I got into ‘Headlines’, but his other singles ‘Marvin’s Room’ and ‘Club Paradise’ instantly drew me into this project. His debut was great so I’m hoping for more of the morbid sound, except with indie influences.

Bruno Mars Reveals 'It Will Rain' Cover For 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' Sountrack

Bruno Mars is ready to release music. Don’t get too excited thou – the single won’t be off his new album.

The ‘Grenade’ singer has opted to partake in the Twilight series by releasing the first single titled “It Will Rain” from “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack”, which will be released 8th November 2011, ahead of the movies release on 18th November 2011. The single will be released worldwide on iTunes on September 27, and in the U.K. on October 31. The single cover was revealed and shows a laidback Mars sitting under an umbrella, surrounded by colourful shades of paint dripping down.

"Remember that song I told yall I finished? Well its called It Will Rain #ComingSoon," he tweeted. He says "after seeing the movie, I thought that it would be a perfect fit.". Mars says that "the 'Twilight' movies for me (are) a love story. But it's a dark love story. And I think the best way to describe the song is: it's the darker side of love. I think that pretty much sums it up."

He even spoke about the songs conception: "It Will Rain" "started off with me and the guitar," Mars says, "and I just had this melody in my head and basically laid it down after I saw the film." Mars also got to see "most of the movie" so he "could catch the vibe and feel where they were going with it." He even showed off a bit of his humorous side by saying that he doesn’t know where in the film the song will be heard. "I have no idea! As long as it's not after the credits. I hope it's in a good (scene)!"

Well, I can't wait! You know Mars always delivers great songs but I love darker tunes and always love the lead singles from the Twilight soundtracks.

Demi Lovato Chooses 'Who's That Boy' As Next Single

After experiencing top ten success with her emotional drenched single ‘Skyscraper’, Demi Lovato is ready to help Dev’s flop career by releasing ‘Who’s That Boy’ as her second single from her album “Unbroken”.

The single’s production and songwriting credits go to Ryan Tedder, who has produced songs for Beyonce (‘Halo’), Jordin Sparks (‘Battlefield’), and Kelly Clarkson (‘Already Gone’).

To support the single, the Disney princess is preparing to shoot a video for the song. "We're in the middle of getting the treatment and things put together," she told MTV about the project. "So hopefully we'll be shooting that soon." 

I scanned through Demi’s new album and, albeit dated, the album sounds really good. It’s expected to do well with predicted sales of 115,000 copies the first week, which would make it the best first-week sales of her career. I have no idea why she would want to collaborate with Dev when she could have worked with Ke$ha, who is better by tenfold.

You can check out the song and a performance of the song on "Good Morning America" below the jump.

Rihanna's Cover For 'We Found Love' Is Amazing

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up!

The singer confirmed that her new single ‘We Found Love’ featuring Calvin Harris will premiere tomorrow (22 September). The album promo started pretty strongly, as the singer used facebook as a promotional tool by launching a campaign which allows fans to unlock missions that reveal information regarding this era.

Sporting a vintage 80’s post-grudge image, the singer appears in a blurry black-and-white cover similar to her classic Rated R era. Can you guys see the look of despair plastered on her face? That’s because she feels bad for leaving your faves’ wigs to rust while she continues to heat up the charts!

The lyrics of ‘We Found Love’ can be read after the jump. Get ready to be slayed! 

Ciara To Work With Kevin McCall

Remember Ciara? The one who slays every living performer, yet can’t secure herself a proper hit album?

Well the singer is ready to hit the studio once again, as Kevin McCall confirmed on twitter thet he’ll be working with the crunk princess to create some “smash” records.

This could work in Ciara’s favour because Kevin is the same person who saved Chris Brown’s career with his hit song ‘Deuces’. Kevin has a great hand at producing hit records so it will be interesting to see whether he can help Ciara after her latest pair of flop albums.

Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse Sing In Body And Soul Video

Check out the new video by Tony Bennett featuring the incredible Amy Winehouse for the charity single ‘Body and Soul’.

The single became Bennett’s first top 40 U.K. single in years and was recorded in March at London’s Abbey Road Studios for Bennett’s 85th birthday album Duets II. Proceeds from the track will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a charity which was started by Winehouse’s family to help youth charity.

It’s a shame that such an impeccable talent had to die at such a young age. This song was recorded a few weeks before her death and will only be added to her discography of authentic and classic records.
