‘It’s sad…so sad…such a sad, sad situation.’

Perhaps by way of the confusion that overshadowed the role out of her fourth studio album ‘4‘, Beyonce‘s status as a ‘mega-selling’ act found itself coming under disrepute when the project spawned modest numbers for the star.

Modest- in her case- being first week sales of 310,000 units. This, a figure that stood as one of her lowest but still saw her stand head and shoulders above the likes of Katy Perry and Rihanna, who are yet to scan that many units in any of their opening weeks thus far.

Now, despite the great-and at times unfortunate- lengths they went to see their latest LPs dominate the charts, these ladies have now had the commercial carpet pulled from beneath their heels by the firm hand that is…Beyonce.

How?

The ‘Bleeding Love’ belter is currently rocking iTunes (UK) with her latest single ‘One More Sleep’, climbing into the top spot following a week of heavy promo.

Gone like the wind.

Indeed, like a thief in the night, Britney Spears‘ new album ‘Britney Jean’ has all but vanished from most charts.

Still, undeterred by this (and the fact the LP has registered the lowest opening sales of her career), the singer has teamed up with E! for a new TV special christened ‘I Am Britney Jean’.

With music clearly not a top priority anymore for the former stage blazer, the 2-hour docu-movie instead captures the preparation for the 32-year-old’s new Vegas show ‘Piece Of Me’.

As 2013 draws to close, the onslaught of year-in-review charts are making their way online.  For music fans everywhere, however, there is only one set of charts that truly matter – Billboard’s year end charts.

Based solely on commercial performance, the tallies are always a list of ‘who’s who’ of the year set to close.  With this year’s headlines being dominated by the likes of Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, P!nk (Billboard’s ‘Woman of the Year’), and newcomers Lorde and Macklemore, many assumed one of the aforementioned would lead as the tally’s ‘artist of the year’.

However, as it has been revealed via the full chart’s unveiling today, the chart’s champion is indeed Bruno Mars.  Listing four Grammy nominations, top-selling tour, #1 singles and the # 1 album ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ to his credit, Mars’ has had a year that was unquestionably out of this world.

But, now that you know who’s #1, do you care to know where your fave landed on the listing?  Tuck in below and sound off:
