Having exceeded initial sales expectations,  Ne-Yo is leaving no stage untouched in the push for his latest LP, ‘R.E.D’.

Motown’s new Head of A&R took front stage center on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show last night, rocking out to his Hot 100 smash ‘Let Me Love You’ (which currently sits at #8 on the tally), returning to rouse his R&B fans with a live rendition of new Urban single ‘Don’t Make ‘Em Like You’.

With her new LP ‘Unapologetic‘ fast approaching, the pressure is on for Island’s Rihanna to nab a #1 single in time for its release. This, if she is to duplicate or better feats secured by 2011’s ‘Talk That Talk’ and its lead single ‘We Found Love‘.

Unfortunately, this week has seen her fail at achieving the above while her former label mate Ne-Yo has soared on the album tally with his new album ‘R.E.D’.

This week brought with it the release of Ne-Yo‘s eagerly awaited “R&B return”, ‘R.E.D’.

We caught up with the ‘Irreplaceable’ hitmaker in London recently, quizzing him on ‘R.E.D’, working on Beyonce‘s new project, his response to claims he “went Pop”, and much more. As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to.

It has certainly been Taylor Swift‘s week.  For, not only did she see her name etched in history books for being the first female act to sell 1 million copies of a single album in one week twice, she has now notched her 56th (yes, you read that right) entry on Billboard’s Hot 100.

How, you ask?  Well, with 4 top 10 singles from her most recent album ‘Red’ (‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, ‘Red’, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’, ‘Begin Again’), Swift just added 5 new titles to the Hot 100 – bringing her tally to 9 entries from one album simultaneously.

But, she’s not the only one celebrating this week.  Ke$ha, Rihanna, and Chris Brown have all seen considerable gains on the singles front.  Read about it all below:

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:
