Though its label system has done a pretty good job of masking this fact, the UK rarely ever spawns homegrown hits.

Sure, while the ‘Official Charts’ may welcome the occasional Brit-bred track to its #1 spot, it’s often releases birthed by international acts that move truly impressive numbers, boasting longer tenure on the charts than performers who may nab impressive peaks but slip, trip and fall once their initial hype has died.

Fortunately for Rita Ora, she joins the likes of Adele, Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sande and the now disbanded JLS to become one of a few acts to see their material sell well after their release weeks, earning certifications set to make her the envy of many a Brit based Pop belle.

For better or worse, Beyonce has the world talking. In most instances, it’s admiration and appreciation. Yet, for FOX News‘ Bill O’Reilly, the singer’s provocative new direction has struck a chord. The wrong one.

While interviewing Hip-Hop pioneer Russell Simmons, who was a guest on The O’Reilly Factor to promote his new book ‘Success Through Stillness’, O’Reilly launched a scathing attack on King B and the video for her latest single ‘Partition’.

In ambushing Simmons and demanding his take on the clip, the anchor went as far as to deem the visual “exploitive garbage”.
