Save for the Hip Hop jams on ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘, Nicki Minaj‘s Urban singles have never had any trouble greeting major sales, with the likes of ‘Moment 4 Life’, ‘Your Love’ and ‘Right Thru Me‘ swinging to the 1 million units sold mark with relative ease.

Now, as her new single ‘Pills N Potions’ sits at #13 on iTunes UK and #4 on iTunes USA, the Rap royal has added another piece to its promo puzzle today, unlocking a short teaser lifted from its official video.

What fans can expect from the Diane Martel piece?

His single ‘Talk Dirty’ may have crossed the 3 million units sold barrier earlier this year, but it would seem Jason Derulo‘s latest effort ‘Wiggle’ is on course to give the steamy a cut a very serious run for its money this month, following the release of its official music video.

Featuring Snoop Dogg and boasting an appearance made by Ne-Yo, the streaming magnet touched down on planet Pop minutes ago, after the song rose four spots to #20 on this week’s ‘Billboard Hot 100‘!

Why ‘Dirty‘ should be threatened by its sizzling follow-up?

One day before its release, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Pills N Potion‘ took centre stage in a Twitter Q&A session today, teased through responses submitted to fans who posed questions to the rapper.

It was there, when asked to spill details on the single’s production, that she revealed that it had been produced by ‘Teenage Dream’ producer Dr.Luke.

Two years after she lit up Pop’s skyline with ‘A Million Lights’, Cheryl Cole sets her sights on the summer for the release of its follow-up!

Set to use Phil Heyes’ ‘X Factor UK’ machine to push the release, this month will see Cole shoot its first music video, calling on “bad ass” dancers to help her do so in the city of London!

Despite already selling over 3 million copies worldwide since its release in December, the campaign for Beyonce‘s blockbuster new album shows no signs of slowing.

Having racked up hits with ‘Drunk In Love’ and ‘Partition’, the singer has selected ‘Pretty Hurts’ as the next Pop/Mainstream single to be lifted from the self-titled set.

As such, today brings with it the VEVO premiere of the video many are hailing as one of the star’s most powerful yet.

Check it out the visual for the Sia-penned production below…

Perhaps the second stand-out jam to be found on Beyonce‘s ‘Beyonce’, ‘Partition‘ finds itself doused in a brand new sound this week, after being remixed by KB Da Beat Goddess, released as its original version continues to sizzle on Urban radio.

Chopped, screwed and served up to her fans today, this reworking of the number marries its original production with a sound set to many a dance floor alight, lacking it’s Hip Hop edge but making up for with production just as ‘club ready’ as the original.

Enjoy the unofficial mix below!

Though she’s never had trouble moving units, it would seem Beyonce has unearthed a new found power in streaming, unleashed once her latest album hit iTunes, December 13th 2013.

Indeed, released after Billboard announced streaming data would factor into ‘Billboard Hot 100′ chart positions, the singer’s self-titled new album has seen views garnered on VEVO and units sold on the likes of iTunes force singles ‘Drunk in Love’ and ‘Partition’ to Top Twenty glory.

Now, as Rihanna & Ciara whip up material for their new albums, Bey has seen the aforementioned ‘Partition’ take the net by storm!

With 14 million views and a Nicki Minaj remix to its name, PTAF‘s ‘Boss Ass B*tch’ welcomes the release of a second music video today, months after the trio signed to Capitol Records.

Featuring cameos from a number of Reality TV staples, the video precedes the launch of their debut studio album, shot in Central LA and showcasing the group’s big and bold new look!

Watch them in action below!

As fans anticipate the launch of his forthcoming studio (and the Justin Timberlake-sized budget they hope it’ll be back by), Usher proves once again that his influence on Pop culture runs far deeper than most are aware of.

For, with the industry still yet to produce a fresh R&B male with the global appeal held by the ‘Burn’ belter, his fourth studio album has reached a milestone that solidifies his status as one of the greatest acts to grace Planet Pop…despite doing so on an R&B spaceship.

For all their lush colours and epic backdrops, Lady GaGa music videos tend to marvel and confuse in equal measure.

The star’s latest, ‘G.U.Y’, is no exception. For while the short-film has taken the industry by storm since landing two days ago (a period in which it has racked up over 10 million views), it’s left some fans and critics scratching their heads.

Alas, there’s no need to fret.

Mother Monster stopped by Sirus XM Radio today to promote the ‘ARTPOP’ clip, sharing fresh insight into its concept.

An interesting watch, we must say.

Music lovers are still gagging for Gaga and her latest cinematic music video ‘G.U.Y.’

The latest single lifted from her not-so-well received album ‘ARTPOP’, the song and its accompanying visual – not even 24 hours since its premiere – are being received as a long-awaited return to ‘The Fame’ form for the Grammy-winner (i.e. catchy pop, eye-popping high fashion, killer dance moves, and the absence of a socially conscious message).

With news of its premiere in sight, the diva’s faithful fan group began a bid to push the tune to the top of VEVO’s digital history books by encouraging viewers to repeatedly watch the video to ensure it lands as the digital music channel’s “most watched video in a 24 hour period”.

Do you think their petition will succeed?
