After cutting ties with manager Troy Carter last week, Lady GaGa has now been linked to a report that may change the course of Pop history.

Sounds like we’re exaggerating?

As a few hours separate the world from her new single ‘The Art of Letting Go‘, Mariah Carey is given fresh reassurance that her relevancy in today’s market is far more potent than her detractors would have many believe.

Why her new album has little reason to tank, if handled correctly?

 Let’s face it….when it comes to today’s crew of Pop contenders, very few can boast of a career quite as impressive as Rihanna’s.

Sure, though she lacks the vocal prowess and general talent that elevates Beyonce and Lady GaGa to icon status, her impact on Pop culture has been enough to give both ladies a very serious run for their money, going as far as to outperform them on more fronts than their respective fan bases are willing to admit.

Now, as if the capital generated by her ‘Diamonds World Tour’ wasn’t enough to give her cause to celebrate, she has now broken a record that stands as nothing short of legendary.

Four years have passed since Ameriie‘s last album ‘In Love & War’ hit stores; what’s more, it’s been double that since the singer enjoyed the taste of commercial success.

And while recent years have brought promises of a “comeback”, the 33-year-old has been relatively quiet on the musical front.

However, that all looks set to change if the diva follows through on her latest announcement.

As proud purveyors of Pop, we love us some Spice Girls. Indeed, who doesn’t?

Yet, there comes a time when an artist is tasked with realizing that their commercial run has wrapped. Call it a “transition”, if you will.

Unfortunately for Spice’s Geri Halliwell, the memo hasn’t landed on her lap or, worse still, is being flat-out ignored.

Case, point, the 41-year-old’s performance of the group’s debut single ‘Wannabe’ on Australia’s Got Talent last night. The irony in the song choice and the fact Halliwell actually judges on the show is priceless.

In response to a poll which saw four out of five parents say they have caught their children imitating ‘raunchy’ dance moves performed by their favourite entertainers, the campaign group ‘Rewind & Frame’ readies the launch of a movement they hope will see music videos given age ratings to protect their more impressionable viewers.

For all of four years, the Pussycat Dolls dominated the Pop music landscape. Yet, with alarming swiftness, the ladies went their separate aways in 2010 amidst rumors of in-fighting and favouritism.

Fast forward to today, and like most disbanded groups, each member has gone on to experience varying levels of success in their solo ventures – the most notable being lead singer Nicole Scherzinger.

However, with the X Factor UK judge still trying to find her footing as a solo artist, it’s surprising (or perhaps not) that talk of a PCD reunion has surfaced – courtesy of former member Carmit Bachar (not pictured above).

During a recent interview with Maximo TV, the fiery redhead – who left the group prior to the release of sophomore album ‘Doll Domination’ – revealed that discussions are underway for a number of reunion themed projects.

Flip the hood to hear what she had to say…

With less than 48 hours remaining until the debut of Mariah Carey‘s single ‘The Art Of Letting Go’, the singer’s longtime collaborator and newly-appointed manager Jermaine Dupri is spilling on the track’s out-of-the-box launch campaign.

As earlier reported, the Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins produced cut will premiere exclusively on Facebook on November 11th; immediately after it’ll impact both iTunes and radio. Needless to say, Team Mimi are launching an all-out chart assault.

Speaking on the record’s roll-out, hitmaker JD dished all to diva’s dedicated Lambs – waxing honest on his reasons for approaching Facebook, as well as some of the challenges he’s encountered in the run-up to the song’s release.

An interesting read awaits after the jump…

How did she fare? Find out after the jump…

Looks like our friend Lady Gaga isn’t the only one headed outer space!

‘Turn On the Lights’ rapper Future sheds light on yet another clip from his intergalactically-themed visual for “Real and True” – the Miley Cyrus-assisted single from his sophomore album ‘Honest’.

Directed by Rankin, the Mike Will Made It-produced tune sees its accompanying visual fall in line with Future’s previous space-themed offerings like mixtape ‘Astronaut Status’ and his debut ‘Pluto’.

With the rapper reportedly ready to ‘close that chapter’ of his career and launch a new one, will ‘Real and True’ be the perfect send off?  Check in below and tell us:

And…the claws are out yet again.

Indeed, it’s been two years since Queen of Pop Madonna took her first jab at pop princess Lady Gaga – labeling the young Grammy winner’s 2011 hit ‘Born This Way’ as “reductive” for its similarity to her 1989 hit ‘Express Yourself’.

What came after were months and months of Madonna doing just that – expressing herself via interviews and a highly publicized “Born This Way/Express Yourself” mashup performed live on her blockbuster ‘M.D.N.A.‘ world tour that courted much attention from her fans and Little Monsters alike.

Unlike Madge, Gaga has kept fairly mum on the topic since its beginnings, but now the ‘Poker Face’ performer is dealing a new hand to reheat a battle some thought had cooled.  Her newest statements below:
