Bittersweet.

Indeed, that’s what R&B crooner Trey Songz will be feeling about the performance of his latest effort ‘Chapter V’.

For, according to early estimates, the ‘Heart Attack’ led set is on course to top the Billboard 200 with less than stellar sales.

Following interviews with Lady GaGa, 50 cent and The Kardashian clan, Oprah‘s ‘Next Chapter has enjoyed quite the popularity boost in recent weeks- heralded for its surprisingly open conversations as showcased with Rihanna‘s stint on Sunday night.

Now, perhaps with news of a fifth album and a brand new movie generating steam, talk of a potential Beyonce appearance on the show has heated up in the last few days.

So, taking the success of Rihanna‘s outing into consideration….

Would you welcome a Beyonce appearance on the ‘Next Chapter’?

The X Factor USA roars back onto screens next month for a second season of fun-filled theatrics.

As widely reported, new judge Britney Spears lends the FOX show ample “star factor”, which the network paid handsomely for. $16 million, to be exact.

Therefore, so as to ensure they recoup their spend, a major promotional campaign has been mounted, one which sees Spears and fellow judges (Simon Cowell, LA Reid, and Demi Lovato) grace the cover of this week’s TV Guide.

Is it us or does this look like a packshot for The Sims? Too much Photoshop.

The X Factor USA returns on September 12th.

Now, taking to the 106 & Park stage to perform a ‘mini-concert’, the self-proclaimed ‘cornerstone of young R&B’ is looking to use his alarm clock vocals to awaken interest in his latest project – one he’s deemed evidential of his ‘most growth yet’.

Also, heading a heated  (and quite awkward) discussion with New York’s ‘Hot 97’ regarding his beef with fellow crooner Ne-Yo, see Songz in action below:
