Kanye West (Ft.Young Jeezy) 'Amazin'
Pretty standard Mr. West. Word on the grape vine is that his next single, Paranoid, will include a verse from Rihanna.
Global Music Sales Tumble 8%
Physical formats like CDs and vinyl performed particularly badly - dropping by 15% globally and 31% in the US. Sales of digital formats like MP3s and ringtones grew by 24% worldwide but failed to make up the shortfall.
This is partly due to the lower price of downloads, but also because people tend not to buy entire albums online. According to figures released by the Official Charts Company earlier this year, Only 10.3m albums were downloaded in the UK last year, compared to 110.3m singles, or individual tracks.

Alesha Dixon 'Let's Get Excited' Video
UK vixen Alesha Dixon premiered the video for 'Let's Get Excited' today, the third single from her smash album 'The Alesha Show'. While it's predecessors 'The Boy Does Nothing' and 'Breathe Slow' were great cuts, there's little that 'excites' me about both this song and video. Put simply, neither then song or it's accompanying clip, I feel, are strong enough to keep up the momentum Alesha has going at the minute. Of course, things could go otherwise...

Jessica Simpson Dropped From Her Label
An official spokesperson for the label declined to comment. Have all those forgotten lyrics and hostile crowds finally caught up with Jessica Simpson?
A country music gossip site says that rumors are swirling that the pop-star-turned-country-singer has been dropped like a rock by her label, Columbia Nashville. Nashville Gab also notes that her information is no longer the label's Web site -- and it even conjectures that her sudden decision to go to Cabo rather than the ACMs could mean that she is now sans label.

Scherzinger: 'My Solo Album Is Coming'
Chief Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger says her long-awaited solo album "may come more sooner than later," but after two years of projected release dates and delays she's not about to set one now.
"I think it'll just come out when it wants to come out, on its own," Scherzinger tells Billboard.com. "I'm still working on my album, and I'm very excited. I'm a relentless perfectionist. I get one chance to put out a first (solo) album, so when the right time comes I will put it out."Scherzinger has been working on the album, tentatively titled "My Name is Nicole," since 2006. She's released several singles -- "Whatever U Like," "Baby Love," "Puakenikeni" and "Supervillian" -- while several of the other songs considered for the project turned up on the Dolls' 2008 released "Doll Domination." The current incarnation of the album, she says, "is just in the works and in talks and in the writing process. I haven't started recording yet." She hopes to hit the studio in the summer, after the Dolls finish their run opening for Britney Spears and then tour Europe again."I'll be excited to get back with old friends -- will.i.am., Timbaland," says Scherzinger. She also plans to work with good pal Lady Gaga and hopes to continue a new association with Academy Award-winning Indian composer A.R. Rahman, who collaborated with Scherzinger and the Dolls on an English version of his "Slumdog Millionaire" track "Jai Ho!" {Source}

iTunes Will Start Variable Pricing April 7th
The move, part of a new "variable-pricing" strategy that will also lower the price of selected songs, is an attempt by the music industry to wring more revenue from digital downloads in the battle to offset declining CD sales. Label executives contend the new pricing will allow them to offer packaged downloads of songs that might entice consumers to spend more on music.

Timberlake NOT Working On New Album
Justin Timberlake fans, don't hold your breath waiting for a new album. Timberlake, whose last disc, FutureSex/ LoveSounds, came out in 2006, tells EW that he's "not working" on new music right now. The singer -- who's executive producing a new MTV reality competition series called The Phone (premiering April 21) -- has been hitting the studio lately, but only to produce tracks for other artists, like T.I. ("Dead and Gone") and Ciara ("Love Sex Magic").
"Right now, I like the idea that things can just kind of pop up and if they feel right I can do them," says Timberlake. "Committing to my own sort of project, that’s like, 'Okay, let me block out two years of my life and do it.' I was heavily fulfilled with the last one and I always have this thing with myself that if I can’t sleep because I need to do it, then I’m gonna do it. But if I’m not losing sleep over it then…" {Source}
While I'm sure Justin's fans won't be too pleased, I can't say I'm particularly fussed. It's hard to deny his 'hit-making' ability on the collabo front...just ask Madonna, T.I and Ciara. However, I think he will come running back to music as soon as he starts to lose the limelight and the work dries up.
Doll Domination 2.0 Tracks Leaked
US Billboard Top 10
Expect Boom Boom Pow to bullet to #1 next week.
Girls Aloud 'Untouchable' Video Premiere
I have two issues with this; first of all this song is The Loving Kind minus 30%, if TLK didn't burn the charts up then I doubt this will. Secondly the video is very blah and probably a waste of money that could have been channelled into recording for a new album. I expect this will crack the top 20, but don't expect much more. Nice use of auto-tune in the verses though :-)

Keri Hilson Bonus Track
P.S - From first day sales, it looks as if Keri will sell 80k - 90k in her first week. Not a bad tally, and more than most expected.
Radar To Be Single #4?
As amazing a song it is (10/10), I think it would tank on the charts. Surely every fan now has this song twice anyway! Fan favourites's Kill The Lights or Unusual You would be better choices.

Wale (Ft.Lady Gaga) - Chillin
IMHO Wale adds nothing to the track; his style has been used and used and killed over the last ten years. The only reason why Kanye West and Lil' Wayne survived is because they've changed direction. Artists like Nas and 50 cent, who refuse to move away from monotonously rapping over a looping melody, have crashed and burned. Having Gaga may breathe a bit of life into this track, but the other three quarters of it is plain boring to listen to. Next.
TLC To Reuinte For Japanese Tour
She then follows up her statement, adding, ''Chilli [Rozonda Thomas] and I just met about our Japan dates! We are performing 17 songs.'' Furthermore Watkins revealed details about her upcoming solo album. "I'm going in2 the studio with Brian Michael Cox and Shakesphere ('No Scrubs')," she states.
TLC split in 2008 but T-Boz said that this might not be the end. Instead, Boz insisted a farewell tour will be kicked off sometime before she releases her solo project. Tour dates for their upcoming Japan tour are still under wrap.
Keri Hilson iTunes Bonus Track & Booklet
Winehouse New Music 'Too Dark And Reggae'
"Amy was very productive during her stay in St Lucia. She wrote a hell of a lot of songs, but the majority of them just aren't hitting the mark." A source tells The Sun." She seems to have ditched her trademark vintage soul sound and is now heavily influenced by reggae." Claims the spy.
"Her bosses don't think it's a wise move to change her style so sharply and have told her that. The lyrics are very dark indeed. While she's known for her confessional style and has been very successful with it, many of the tracks are near the knuckle."
Keri Hilson 'Knock You Down' Video Premiere
Loving this video. Her album In A Perfect World is released today in the states so ensure you grab yourself a copy.

Madonna To Release Greatest Hits
Russian Duo Split
"Last December a staff meeting attended by Yulia, Lena and Boris took place. Parties had unanimously decided to cease the ''operation of t.A.T.u. in full-time mode". This decision was not spontaneous, it was long-grown.
For the sake of ethics I will not mention the reasons behind it, I'll just say that these have nothing to do neither with creative nor with economic aspects."
The message goes on to detail a large amount of forthcoming releases and information regarding t.A.T.u. next endeavors. Click HERE for read more!
Ciara 'Love Sex Magic' Video Premiere
This UK banning of music videos on Youtube is so annoying! I've been hunting this video down for too long. Anyway, this clip is very hot, although I am still a bit irritated by her reluctace to perform any sort of organized choreography. Ciara is an A-Mazing dancer (see here) and she ought to play that to her strengh; a music video is the ideal palce to showcase her talent.

Lily Allen 'Not Fair Video Premiere
This video is trying to be artistic and unique, but if you ask me it just comes off looking a bit low budget. I love Ms Allen and I love It's Not Me, It's You, but the single choice and video concept threaten both their successes. F*uck You or Everyone's At It next please!

"I had a great year and learned so much recording and releasing my album," said Jackson, who released his debut record, Right Now, last October. Every artist knows these things can go either way. I'm really looking forward to my tour and doing more writing."

PCD To Re-release Doll Domination
There is a rumour that they have dueted with Britney, since Nicole said they would be most likely recording a track together while on tour. Other speculation surrounds a record with Lady Gaga, with whom they toured in the UK. I expect the Dolls' label is hoping for a surge in sales after the success of Jai Ho because it is widely publisized that Doll Domination has failed toperform sales-wise.
This era is messy! What happened to Bottle Pop? They have already had five singles and the album isn't even six months old!
