Justin Bieber‘s ‘Purpose’ promo train pulled into the UK this week.

With the like-titled album due in stores on November 13th, the 21-year-old is covering all bases (especially in light of his chart showdown with One Direction).

Today’s stop was BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards 2015, where the Canadian heartthrob served up a spirited showing of #1 single ‘What Do You Mean?’

Backed by an army of dancers, watch Bieber blaze is his own kind of way after the jump…

Decades of domination.

Both Janet Jackson and Missy Elliott are two of modern music’s most enduring figures and celebrate their sisterhood on new single ‘BURNITUP!’

Taking to Twitter, Missy – whose comeback effort ‘WTF (Where They From)’ now arrives November 12th – wrote:

I had a Blast 2night catching up with my sis @JanetJackson & Wissam yall! #BurnItUp!

Here’s hoping the ladies catch up on a video set pronto. The world is waiting for that all-out dance visual from Janet and it’s important – while aiming for longevity – to not miss a crucial window of opportunity to slay.

Cop a gander of Christina Aguilera!

The diva shared a shot of herself on the set of a new photoshoot with famed photographer David LaChapelle.

Currently working on the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Lotus,’ the elusive chanteuse teased the brand new visuals on Instagram. She wrote:

LaChapelle x Xtina type of day!#staytuned ????

The pair have previously teamed up for the ‘Can’t Hold Us Down’ video as well as a number of promotional shoots. LaChapelle also helmed the clips for Britney Spears’ ‘Everytime,‘ Gwen Stefani’s ‘Rich Girl,’ and Amy Winehouse’s ‘Tears Dry On Their Own.’

No word on the timeline for Xtina’s musical return, but what is known is that she’s set to return to The Voice next Spring.

In any case, watch the video for ‘Your Body’ below. Why? Because it slays. Still.
