Drake 'Thank Me Later'
A few remixes of "Find Your Love" have surfaced, the above is my favourite. http://twitter.com/Gibzen/status/13670093169 So it's Alicia who's the feature on "Firrworks"? I could've sworn it was supposed to be Kings of Leon. Anyhow, if that's the case, DAMN! I love Drake & Alicia and they seem to really complement each other (i.e. "Unthinkable (I'm Ready)"). He performed part of "Fireworks" about a month ago, and from the low quality clip that surfaced it sounded promising.

Christina Aguilera ft. Nicki Minaj - Woohoo
LOL, this is the most interesting thing Christina has done in a long time. Sorry, I'm not a hater, but her lead single is just wack. The epitome is generic, whereas "WooHoo" is full of fire - and it's not just down to Nicki Minaj (although her crazy rap is hot).

Drake 'Thank Me Later'
I know a few people stateside who've seen him live, and like Weezy last year, it seems as though he performs a lot of tracks. Well, snippets if you like i.e. his verse & hook in "Forever", the hook in "Money to Blow", his verse in "The One" etc. Obviously the album will be out before July, so we'll hear the new material. I really hope he performs "Fear", which I think he will as he says it's his favorite track.

Drake 'Thank Me Later'
Ahh, fair enough. I'm American, but moved to the UK a few years ago (a work related move). My buddy is trying to get tickets for the July 13 show, so may see you there pal! They know someone who can get tickets for almost nothing, so here's to hoping they follow through. If not, after a little investigation, tickets are pretty much openly available on the web so I'm going whatever, LOL.

Drake 'Thank Me Later'
Is it similar (in size) to the Hammersmith Apollo? I saw Weezy last year at that venue, it was bigger than I anticipated, but was great. The atmosphere was off the chain. I was a fan after discovering his "So Far Gone" mixtape, but it wasn't until I heard "Fear" (which is on the "So Far Gone" EP released last year on U.S. iTunes) that I became a real follower. The delivery of his lyric, the versatility, the flow, everything about the guy is just epic.

Cool man, yeah, you know Drizzy's gon' be slaying! It'll be crazy. I'm excited and I haven't even got tickets!

'California Gurls' (feat. Snoop Dogg) • First Single
I don't really get the Snoop complaints. He's not really overrated because he's hardly regarded as a rap staple, and hasn't been for a long time. I think his inclusion makes the song a little more breezy, which I think was their aim. Anyway, it's a really strong, summery pop song. I've never been interested in Katy as an artist before, so I think this is my favorite track of her by default.

JLS - The Club is Alive
$h!t, I actually love this. DAYUM, I can't believe it. It's so incredibly horrible, yet I can't stop playing it. I hate these guys...
-
Drake 'Thank Me Later'
Dan, which date are you seeing him? One of my pals is on the verge of securing standing tickets for a HOT price, but I'm not sure which of the shows they're for. Whatever happens, I'm gonna be there.
-
Nicki Minaj 'Your Love'
Agreed. He's just a masturbatory producer, but it was so "out there" and different I thought it would've made an impact. Just listened to the mastered version of "Your Love" and it does sound better than the one that's been making the rounds for months and months.
-
Kanye West 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'
I don't think that's going to be the lead single as it's been out for a few months now. The beat is f***ing hot, though.
-
Nicki Minaj 'Your Love'
Really? Damn, I'm so over this. I know it's been mastered now, but it's so old. It's a good tune, with a weird sample, but more radio friendly than "Massive Attack". I'm so disappointed "Massive Attack" flopped. It definitely wasn't commercial, but I thought it at least stood a chance of being an Urban hit. I guess it was too different from the stuff that's played on any radio format.

Drake 'Thank Me Later'
#14 on U.S. iTunes. I'm not really feeling the artwork for "Thank Me Later". I agree with Jark, it looks really cheap. It won't kill my anticipation for the record, though, as I also think this could be a contender for album of the year once it's released.

'Glassheart' • Third Album
Eh, "Danger Made Me" is weak. Maybe it'll slot somewhere onto the third record, but I wouldn't hope so.

WWE Over The Limit!
Edge v. Orton is quite exciting. I remember their match in 2007 following the "break up" of Rated RKO was really strong. Their series in 2004 wasn't that great, but that was because of Edge's stale shtick & Orton's inexperience.
-
WWE 24/7
He sucks as a face now. Back during the "SmackDown Six" days in 2002 he was so over it was unbelievable. He played the heroic face extremely well. It was when he returned in 2004 that he started to suck hard (as a face, that is).

Alicia Keys ∙ 'Un-Thinkable'
Video is premiering on BET'S 106 & Park next Wednesday.
-
Alicia Keys ∙ 'Un-Thinkable'
& also a new peak of #5 on Top R&B/Hip Hop songs.
-
Drake 'Over'
This has been more successful than I originally thought it would be. It's been hovering between #16 and #25 on U.S. iTunes for so long. It's officially my favourite Drake song, too. The chorus is the most memorable and impactful in a long time.
-
Eminem ∙ 'Recovery'
#1 on U.S. iTunes. He's obviously still a big digital seller. It's rise to the top was so rapid.
-
Eminem ∙ 'Recovery'
Released to U.S. iTunes today; already #20!
-
Alicia Keys ∙ 'Un-Thinkable'
With it's rapid spin increase at radio, it may well outpeak "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart". I'm not sure if it will on the Hot 100, but I think this is going to the top of the R&B charts ("TSWABH" peaked at #2).
-
Drake 'Thank Me Later'
Yeah, it definitely sounds like an "808s & Heartbreak* leftover, but an extremely good one. Even though it sounds like a b-side to "808s", it's still got a real fresh sound. The chorus is great and memorable. "Over" is still rising, and proving to be a hit (which many did not predict), but I thinkt his could do really well on Pop. Still don't prefer it to "Over" but it's still brilliant.

Jason Derulo · 'Ridin' Solo'
Y'know, after intially disliking the guy, there's something quite appealing about the singles he's released. I wouldn't say I'm a fan (at all), but I can definitely see why he's a successful singles artist. "Ridin' Solo" is OK, I actually prefer the version without the sample...
-
Alicia Keys ∙ 'Un-Thinkable'
New peak of #58 on the Hot 100. Currently sitting at #9 on Urban, #10 on Urban AC & #29 on Rhythmic radio. This will be the biggest hit off "The Element of Freedom".
