It’s here!

Chris Brown unwrapped new mixtape ‘X Files’ moments ago.

The free five-track set has been unleashed as a bridge of sorts to C. Breezy’s serially delayed sixth album ‘X’.

No stranger to the cost-less music approach, the 24-year old once again serves up a solid collection that should do what it’s designed to: tide his loyal fans over until the release of the new LP.

So what are you waiting for? Take a listen below…

While some celebrity couples opt to keep their private lives private, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian seem keen to share their union with the world. 

Case, point, the freshly released clip for ‘Bound 2’,  the latest release to be lifted from West’s controversial ‘Yeezus’ LP.

The Nick Knight directed clip sees the cringey couple cavort on a motocycle and making out on a mountain top. Very reminiscent  of “the video” that thrust Kim into the spotlight (among other things) all those years ago.

Peep the private couple in action -quite literally- after the jump…

It will indeed be a ‘Mary Christmas’ if the onslaught of appearances by Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige is anything to judge by.

Hitting the promo trail hard to commemorate the release of her first holiday-themed album ‘Mary Christmas’ (in stores now), the past week has seen the Grammy winning diva spotted at a number of yuletide favorite events including CMA’s ‘A Country Christmas’ and Christmas at L.A.’s ‘The Grove’.  This, in conjunction with an hour-long special on HSN (Home Shopping Network) that saw her perform a few of the album’s spirited numbers.

If armed with the right material and management, she could be an Urban force to be reckoned with.

Alas, for one reason or another, the gift that is Ashanti continues to see her legacy ruined by poor planning and a cluelessness that’s seen her seated at the bottom of the R&B pack.

Now, almost three years after teasing fans with her forthcoming album ‘Braveheart‘, the singer/actress has announced the launch of a new Christmas EP….just weeks before the big day itself.

Lady GaGa is not just accustomed to topping the charts, she’s also blazing the ratings too.

The ‘Applause’ singer earned just that during her ‘Saturday Night Live’ takeover this past weekend, thrilling with a well-received set of performances and skits in support of new album ‘ARTPOP’.

With all eyes on how the much-hyped episode would fare, the eccentric star silenced the naysayer with season-high numbers for the show.

Pop pin-up Justin Bieber continues his foray into the world of R&B with new song ‘PYD’. So what better way to validate his new musical agenda than calling on the King of R&B, R. Kelly for the latest release in his Music Monday series.

The Pied Piper joins the purveyor of “Bieber Fever” on the slow-burning cut, with surprisingly refreshing results. Take a listen below…

Already delayed in earnest, Chris Brown‘s sixth studio album ‘X’ was dealt a devastating blow when the singer was arrested and jailed on suspicious of assault last month.

The ‘Fine China’ led set had danced around a number of release dates, yet was -at that point- scheduled to hit stores on December 3rd.

However, with the 24-year-old rushed into rehab for three months in the wake of the drama, it rendered the promo run required for a major album launch virtually impossible. As such, making the latest date likely impossible too.

Still, in recognising how important it is to consistently maintain a musical presence, C.Breezy is gearing up to roll-out a new mixtape, aptly titled ‘X Files’.

On the singles’ charts intermittent songstress Rihanna is not a force to be reckoned with, she is the forced to be reckoned with.

Surpassing or least matching many-a-Billboard Hot 100 placement stat of legendary acts like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and now even threatening Elvis Presley’s record, the pop princess has seen a reign unlike any of her contemporaries (or predecessors) given her less than a decade long tenure.

However, as the statistics that accompany her 7 studio albums in as many years reveals, the goat buck stops there.  For, five months ago we shared news that the ‘Disturbia’ diva had hit the 9.8 million albums sold mark.  Now, via refreshed reports, it appears she has barely passed the 10 million mark…of collective albums sold.

Is this bad news or just a sign of the times?  Weigh in below:

With pot purse nowhere in sight, pop princess Miley Cyrus still managed to get high on ‘X Factor UK’ today…by wielding a rocky performance of her latest #1 hit ‘Wrecking Ball’.

As her ‘Bangerz’ tour nears, the songstress has been spotted in a number of places delivering live performances to (what we hope is) encourage ticket sales.  If the standing ovation that succeeded this performance is any indication, Cyrus may have succeded.

Tuck in below to see if you agree…
