Billboard Update

^#1 Album #1 Single^

While Drake's Take Care tops the Billboard 200 album chart, it's all about Rihanna (well, & a little bit about Drake too) on the Hot 100 singles chart, where her "We Found Love" rules with the Airplay Gainer title for a fourth consecutive week. Rihanna also jumps 73-14 with "You Da One" & earns the chart's highest debut @ #9 alongside Drake with "Take Care".

Nicki Minaj Album Update

Those anxiously awaiting new music from Nicki Minaj or those not completely satisfied with what was offered up with Pink Friday (the album's biggest hit was a bonus track, I mean...) need not fret because of nor get confused by the title of her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which is set to be released on Valentine's Day (a Tuesday...). I'm not entirely sure why she's sticking with the whole Pink Friday thing, but 'Roman Reloaded' has me downright giddy!

New Music Monday: Mary J. Blige "My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1)"

This week was a lot of things, but Mary J. Blige wanted to be sure you knew that her new album My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1) came out! It includes the new single "Mr. Wrong" featuring Drake, "25/8", &, if you buy the deluxe edition, "Someone To Love Me (Naked)". MJB performed on Chelsea Lately (>) & Today (<), popped up during the parade on Thanksgiving, & even helped give the most awkward, creepy, cringeworthy early-Christmas performance I've ever seen.
