A chart force in life and still so in death, Michael Jackson continues to prove that his ever name is ever-viable.

The King Of Pop is currently rocking charts globally with ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ – the lead single from his second posthumous album ‘Xscape’.

Due on May 13th, the set – which features previously unreleased material, remixed and re-imagined for a modern audience – boasts production from the likes of Timbaland , Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, and Stargate.

The hitmakers, alongside executive producer and Epic Records head L.A Reid, dish on how the project came to be, as well as their involvement, in a newly released promo video.

Little Mix extend their lead as Pop’s most promising girl group once again today, bringing nothing but visual heat with the release of their new video for the single, ‘Salute.’

Co-written by all four members of the group, the jam already enjoys a UK peak position of #182 on the ‘Official Singles Chart’, but will no doubt rise to dizzying heights once it drops on June 1st 2014.

Why their US counterparts should take a leaf out of their visual book?

Catching up in the same week she released her new single ‘First Love’, and after Rihanna dominated the night by picking up more awards than any other nominated act, the ladies struck a pose as the latter continues work on her eighth studio album, set to be released NO I.D’s Def Jam later on this year!

Your thoughts?

It was only a matter of time.

Pop forces Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber share a manager in media mogul Scooter Braun.

As such, it’s little surprise that the young talents have teamed up (or been paired up) in support of Grande’s sophomore effort.

Preceded by bonafide smash ‘Problem’, the LP may now boast a Bieber feature — if the pair’s exchange on Twitter today is anything to go by:

thank u justin!! secrets out now “@justinbieber: congrats @arianagrande on your number 1 song. #arianabieberduet ?? http://t.co/0tI7nRvW8y”

— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 2, 2014

There, of course, remains the possibility that the duet could be for Justin’s new project. Still, whichever way it’s diced or sliced, it’d be a good look for them both. Right?

Your thoughts?

Last night, vocal powerhouse Mariah Carey brought her mega-watt album campaign to New York’s Times Square.

Surrounded by a legion of loyal Lambs, the diva lit up the iconic spot to promote her new project ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’.

The savvy “launch” is the latest in a long-list of strategies employed to build buzz for the much-delayed LP – the latest date for which is May 27th.

Clearly, Team Mimi are spending their coins. Hopefully, her fans spend theirs when ‘The Elusive Chanteuse’ struts into stores in a mere matter of weeks.

2013 may have seen her social stardom on a non-stop incline, but 2014, on the other hand, has not been nearly as kind to ‘Glee’ star Naya Rivera.

As if her highly publicized breakup with rapper/boyfriend Big Sean wasn’t enough, the triple threat starlet was reportedly written out of the season finale of the hit series that brought her to fame.

Now, ahead of ever releasing a full length album, reports indicate the ‘Sorry’ singer has been dropped from label home Columbia Records…
