For Eminem, the pressure’s undoubtedly on for his new album (due out this year) to match or better the seven that came before it.

Before that though, he may be pleased to learn that it’ll be received by an audience still very much in support of his cause…a cause, that’s now seen ‘Curtain’ certified 5x Platinum in the UK.

Having thrilled thousands during the US leg of her ‘Mrs Carter Show World Tour’, chart titan Beyonce ended the trek’s first American run in spectacular fashion last night.

Armed with her catalogue of hits, King B rocked the house at the last of her three-show run at Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center.

The New York audience were awarded extra perks in the form ‘Bow Down’ (which, until now, had only been performed once in Houston), as well as a surprise performance from Mr Carter, Jay-Z, who upped the ante with ‘Tom Ford’ from his ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ LP.

Can you taste the anticipation? We can!

Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ has fans and critics salivating in equal measure — and with good reason too. Billed as more of a movement than a traditional album, the project is unique in that so much, yet so little is known about it.

Continuing to whet appetites, Mother Monster unveiled a fresh promotional shot for the set (due November 11th) moments ago.

Again, we’re not yet sure what we’re supposed to be looking at nor how it relates to ‘ARTPOP’ visually. However, it’s safe to say we’ll acquire an answer of sorts when the song and video for its lead single ‘Applause’ arrives on August 19th.
