Was he any good?

As his last album ‘Chapter V’ makes a slow but sure journey to US Gold, Trey Songz arrived in London recently to perform at Yahoo‘s Wireless Festival.

While there, the Urban hit maker enjoyed the company of fellow chart topper Rita Ora, but more importantly…his fans.

Indeed, before and after rocking the event with a rousing set, the performer took the time to create an impromptu meet and greet, catching up with his supporters- one of which can be seen posing for a snap with him above!

With Ciara‘s latest hit ‘Body Party’ borrowing heavily from Ghost Town DJ’s ‘My Boo’, it’s only fitting that the R&B star brought her own boo, Future, to the stage during her performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon today.

The pair served up a titillating showing the sensual number, which has rocketed to #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

Sporting a brand new summer inspired wardrobe, this week saw Hot 100 Royal Rihanna take to Poland to rock fans with the ‘Diamonds World Tour’.

Of course, as we now know, her Gdynia showing found itself rocking her when fans at the show began to chant ‘Beyonce‘ when the performer delayed the show’s start, keeping them waiting for longer than they would have hoped.

Now, watch Riri serve an interesting rendition of her Reggae jam ‘Man Down‘, boasting more overacting than an episode of ‘Sunset Beach‘ season finale…

In the snap above, Rap icon Lil Kim can be seen striking a pose for her brand new single, ‘Looks Like Money‘.

However, if the former tall tale teller is to believed this time around, a song on her forthcoming album is set to dwarf ‘Money’ and mark one of the most interesting collaborations to grace Popular music…ever.

R&B King Trey Songz found himself in good company last night, when he was joined at Yahoo‘s Wireless Festival by Pop Princess Rita Ora!

Snapped alongside actress Jessica Biel as they enjoyed Justin Timberlake‘s set at the event, the pair were snapped shortly after ‘Crazy Kids‘ belle Ke$ha rocked the event’s audience with a set of her very own, and one day before Rita does the same- performing cuts from her #1 album ‘ORA‘.

Ciara keeps the viral push for her new self-titled album popping with the arrival of the video short for fan-favourite ‘Super Turnt Up’.

Unwrapped moments ago, you can check out the visual snippet for the song (which needs to be a single at some point) after the jump.

Often hailed for his creativity, Justin Timberlake leaves us wondering why after revealing the cover for his new album ‘The 20/20 Experience (2 of 2)’.

The artwork for the sequel to the double Platinum original is exactly the same as its predecessor – only, this time, featuring color. And granted we “get” the concept (20/20 = perfect vision = ability to see the full picture), it’s still a bit dry.

Luckily for JT, its lead single ‘Take Back The Night’ isn’t (although it still leaves much to be desired). Needless to say, we hope the rest of the material on the album delivers. Because, as it is now, the whole project feels more hype over substance.

She’s back!

After a season away from The Voice, Pop diva Christina Aguilera has resumed filming for the hit NBC show.

Now airing two cycles a year (Spring and Fall), the talent search welcomed Shakira and Usher for its fourth series earlier this year, giving cast originals Xtina and Cee-Lo Green a chance to “recharge their batteries”.

At the time, the ‘Your Body’ singer claimed the time away would be used to re-connect with her first loves – music and touring. Of course, in light of the performance (or lack-thereof) of her ‘Lotus’ album (which remains criminally underrated), the 32-year-old instead used the window to promote Pitbull‘s ‘Feel This Moment’ – which she guests on – and  to hit the gym, the results of which see her looking the happiest and healthiest she’s looked in a good while.

Fingers crossed Xtina’s return to The Voice and rejuvenated image mean new material is on the way. It’s clear she views herself as an artiste (see: lengthy gaps between projects and elaborate themes), hence she’s likely in no rush. However, from our vantage point, she’s more a “Pop star” than anything else. And as the Rihanna‘s and co have shown, there is almost a necessity in this new generation for “Pop stars” to keep the music coming. Add to that the fact that Christina is coming off two poorly performing projects, and the phrase “time waits for no one” rings oh so true here. We can only hope Team Xtina understand this.

Ciara‘s new self-titled album is packed to the brim with many a potential hit, with our personal pick ‘Super Turnt Up’ serving as the most obvious.

The swag-soaked number received the live treatment tonight as part of the singer’s residency on BET’s flagship show 106 & Park.

How did CiCi fare? Find out after the jump…

Stunning….might be one word to describe the cover art for John Legend‘s new album ‘Love in the Future’, unveiled to the world today.

Just as breathtaking as the material on the project itself, the cover’s release comes two months before the album’s due date- armed with its 20 song long track list, featuring a duet from Brit Pop icon Seal.
