Better late than never.

The above may be a sentiment adopted by R&B staple John Legend, whose latest album ‘Love in the Future‘ is enjoying an epic chart revival of sorts this year…seven months after its August 2013 release.

Rita Ora is readying a return to the charts after almost a year hiatus.

The Roc Nation priori has spent much of the last twelve months racking up endorsement deals in earnest, including a lucrative partnership with cosmetics giant Rimmel London.

As reported last month, the Calvin Harris helmed ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ has been confirmed as the lead single from the 23-year-old’s upcoming new album.

Fusing her musical and brand hustles, the singer is promoting the track via a major campaign with Rimmel – who today shared a behind the scenes look at the upcoming commercial. Featured within is a lengthy preview of the song.

So what are you waiting for? Sample new Rita after the jump…

For most, the weekend lasts two days. For The Saturdays, though, it’s two years.

The Pop quad have stretched the campaign for their latest album ‘Living For The Weekend’ all the way out, serving up first single ‘What About Us’ in 2012 and the video for new release ‘Not Giving Up’ today.

A dynamo dance-floor jam, the track serves as the fifth cut to be lifted from ‘Living’ and the first since band-member Frankie Sandford gave birth.

With most artists being lucky to release two singles from an album these days, one has to give The Sats’ kudos for pushing on. Was the visual worth it, though? The answer awaits below…

After much speculation, it has finally been confirmed – Nicole Scherzinger has signed with Sony Music.

Details on the singer’s major new deal and forthcoming album after the jump…

It was billed as “the comeback”. However, after a week of availability, the flame that heated the buzz for Mariah Carey‘s new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’ has but burned out.

As at writing, the track sits at #376 on US iTunes. Yes, three-hundred-and-seventy-six.

A tale of unfortunate proportions, the placing sees the song chart under releases that impacted several years ago. Indeed, the likes Beyonce’s ‘Halo’ (2008), Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ (2011), and even Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Bass’ (2010), all rank higher on the tally. Even Mario’s ‘Let Me Love You’ (2004) places above ‘Mine’.

And granted a rebound is plausible as the cut has just been sent to radio and further performances are lined up, the jaw-dropping dip suggests only a marginal rise is likely.

So what is the “problem”?

Consider yourself a fan of Lil Kim, but detest Rap Queen Nicki Minaj?

You do? Well, today might be the day for you to reconsider your stance on the ‘Bought the Bar‘Barb‘, seeing as Kim seems to have developed quite the admiration for the star’s signature flow.

Confused? Join the club. For, in a brand new number named ‘Haterz‘, the Queen Bee takes a leaf (or two) from Minaj, and delivers a verse that goes a long way to expose the latter’s ironic influence on her Hip Hop sister.

Ready to give it a spin?

Press play for the Nicki– inspired release below!
