Dan Doctoroff‘s ‘Bloomberg’ welcomed Billboard’s Bill Werde to its home on Friday, calling on the tastemaker to join the company’s ‘Market Makers’ TV show for a conversation with host, Stephanie Ruhle.

There, hours removed from its surprise launch, Beyonce’s brand new LP became the topic of discussion, seeing its roll out and impact on Pop culture analysed by the Editor, sharing why he believes its release ticks many a ‘game changing’ box.

Arguably incapable of creating ‘bad’ music, The Dream would be right to believe that he stands as one of the best things to happen to Pop music.

Responsible for more ‘contemporary classics’ than he’s oft given credit for, his work has now seen him become one of the world’s most sought after creatives, enlisted by the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna time and time again to pen the hits they rock the world with…time and time again.

Now, after collaborating with Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, the Grammy winner has now claimed the beauty can ‘out-sing’ a number of today’s chart staples.

‘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?

Eyen and Krieger’s ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going Home‘ was brought to life once again this evening, performed by X Factor UK contestant Sam Bailey and Pop sensation Nicole Scherzinger during the show’s final.

Stellar to say the least, the performance saw the pair showcase the vocals that would later see Sam move one step closer to claiming this year’s ‘X Factor’ crown, and prompt fresh talk of a new Nicole solo album from its viewers!

Does Kanye West believe his job as a musician is just as dangerous as a soldier’s job at war?

Well, if a new rant spawned by the entertainer is anything to go by, he just may be.

That’s right, in a new interview reportedly taped during his recent ‘Yeezus’ promotional run, he goes to great lengths to explain why facing criticism from the press is akin to the danger police officers and soldiers everyday.

Pop powerhouse Leona Lewis is proving that she’s also a force on the charts.

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.

Never one to rest on her laurels, Lewis stopped by This Morning to perform the cut – which serves as the lead single from Holiday LP ‘Christmas, With Love’.

Watch the songbird soar after the jump…

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’.

Peep a teaser below and tune in (if you choose) on December 22nd.
