Missed last night’s airing of ‘Saturday Night Live‘?

Not to worry, we’ve got you covered. For, in what really is a ‘must see’, Justin Timberlake touched down to wow its audience with fresh performances in support of his fruitful ‘The 20/20 Experience’ era.

Was he any good?

No…he was spectacular- rocking the show with electrifying servings of ‘Only When I Walk’ and ‘Pair of Wings.’

‘I wanted to follow in Madonna’s footsteps.’

It may have shifted 6,380,000 units in the US alone, but Robin Thicke‘s ‘Blurred Lines’ seems to have pulled quite the cruel trick on his once flawless public persona.

For, thanks to its ‘eyebrow raising’ lyrics and playful take on the sensitive topic that is clear and discernible sexual consent, he has earned new found critics who say the cut goes a long way to trivialise rape.

So, in honour of the steps they say he’s taken towards degrading women, these critics have named him ‘Sexist of the Year.‘

With 850 radio stations in the US, radio station group owner Clear Channel Communications can boast of reaching an audience of 110 million people per week.

So, with this in mind, it’s no wonder many an entertainer seeks to score the full support of the company when launching releases, hoping to garner as much as ‘play’ as possible on its stations and reach the audiences they need to guarantee noteworthy sales.

Now, in response to its surprise release, the organisation’s Entertainment Enterprises president has weighed in on Beyonce‘s new album, and how he thinks its numbers will fare on his formats.

Weeks after sales of her ‘Myx Moscato’ beverage knocked on 1 million’s door, Nicki Minaj continues on in her bid for world domination with the release of a new ad pushing her ‘Kmart’-held clothing line!

Featuring the Rapper and a number of ‘familiar’ friends, the commercial sees her showcase just a little of what the thriving line has to offer, no doubt hoping to benefit from the last minute purchasing frenzy set to take in preparation for Christmas!

2013 saw Katy Perry cement herself as one of Pop’s most formidable forces thanks to super smash single ‘Roar’ and its parent album ‘Prism’.

Currently preparing for her worldwide ‘Prismatic Tour’, the singer showcased her pipes on the ‘Ellen’ show this week, where she  served up an acoustic rendition of latest single ‘Unconditionally’.

The cut has thus far peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100; will this major promo stop propel the track any higher? You be the judge after the jump…

Responsible for injecting a healthy dose of ‘artistry’ back onto the charts, Kendrick Lamar expresses his desire to be remembered for his craft in his new release, ‘Sing About Me.’

Pulled from the Grammy nominated masterpiece that is ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city‘, the cut now welcomes the arrival of its supporting music video, which has been split into two parts.

The first? Awaiting you below. The second? Due out in January.

R&B heroin.

With material that’s seen her win over the support of critics and music buyers alike, Sevyn Streeter can now boast of being part of an elite group of Contemporary R&B acts able to pose a serious threat to her Pop counterparts.

Think we’re exaggerating?

Well, tell that to Top 30 position held by her new single ‘It Won’t Stop’, its #1 spot on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart and then Top 10 glory scored by her new EP ‘Call Me Crazy, But…’ on iTunes USA.

Yes, after years of triers, it would seem the industry has finally given birth to an R&B belle with the talent, star power and resources to fly the genre’s flag in realms oft closed off to its staples.

So, why so many have fallen head over heels with the beauty? Watch her dish on the EP when we caught up with her last week…above!

Surprise on isle number five!

Beyonce shocked shoppers at a Massachusetts Walmart last night, descending on the store to celebrate the physical release of her blockbuster new album.

Like the digital release that preceded it, the arrival of the double-disc edition of the “visual LP” was very much an event – with King B not only picking up a copy herself, but awarding all 750 customers in the branch $50 gift vouchers to spend in-store (total worth $37,000).

We love us some savvy promo here at TGJ and this is great PR at its best; especially in light of the shade certain stockists are throwing due to the exclusivity ‘Yonce awarded iTunes. And while it remains to been seen if said stockists will embrace the Holiday spirit, what is certain is that moves like this will keep the star “winning” and then some.

Peep the footage and more pics after the jump…
