With the passing of Amy Winehouse having heavy impact on the Billboard 200 last week and the long awaited release of Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Here I Am’ making its way to the world  this week, it has certainly been an interesting last few days for music lovers.

For many have been curious to find out exactly how these two events would play out when this week’s sales figures rolled in.

Now they must wait no more.

Continuing their showing of sisterly love, Beyonce and Kelly Rowland were snapped shooting the video ‘Party’ in New Jersey last night. As earlier reported, the whimsical cut is the latest to receive the single treatment from King B’s ‘4’ LP.

Needless to say, we hope Ms. Kelly has the treatment and shoot date sorted for her own ‘Lay It On Me’ video…

While Britney Spears‘ dazed and confused performances have left many a critic unimpressed, Hip-Hop star Nicki Minaj’s opening slot on the singer’s ‘Femme Fatale Tour’ continues to be talking point. A trend which looks to continue after the Young Money Mrs surprised fans in New York last by bringing out Kanye West to perform ‘Monster’.

British newcomer Mike Hough has been drumming quite the buzz since stepping out on the music scene earlier this year.

Aged just 19, the Essex bred singer’s brand of Soul-Pop has caught the attention of many including BBC 1 Xtra, and more recently Global Music Publishing – where he signed a lucrative publishing deal last month. The move will see Hough join the likes of Corrine Baley Rae on the GMP roster as he records his debut album with some of the biggest names in music.

Though the LP isn’t due in stores until early next year, be ahead of the curve and get into this great talent. You’ll, no doubt, be seeing and hearing a lot more from him in the months and year coming!

Check out his performance of Beyonce‘s ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ on The Splash above.

Any doubts surrounding Beyonce‘s hard-working nature were further quelled last night when the superstar was spotted on the set of yet another video. This time it’s ‘4’ fan favourite ‘Party’ which received the visual treatment in a trailer park in New Jersey last night.

Joining the 29 year old on the colourful set were sister Solange and bandmate Kelly Rowland.

The work doesn’t stop there, either. For, industry outlet Video Static has confirmed that a clip for ‘Countdown’ has been commissioned and will be directed by Adria Petty – who took the helm of King B’s ‘Sweet Dreams’ video. If there’s any justice in the world, it’ll be better than that dollar-store effort.

Regardless, it’s great to see Ms. Knowles shooting clips for all the ‘right’ songs (word has it ‘End of Time’ has or will be shot too). Begging the question: just what is she cooking up behind the scenes? Whatever the case, it looks like ‘4’ has much mileage to go.

‘I’m Glad’ singer Jennifer Lopez may just have a new reason to smile.  Reports have surfaced today indicating that the triple threat diva  is soon expecting to close a deal with American Idol executives for a return to next season’s judging panel – to the tune of $20 million.  The reported amount is nearly double the singer’s $12 million earned from her first season in the judge’s seat.

Furthermore, the deal is rumored to include clauses allowing the singer time for non-American Idol related ventures.
