THE WEEK IN MUSIC

Excuse the delay…..But I'm now back at it. A lot of new things in music to talk about so………..lets get to it!

Heading straight to the charts………….

The Foo Fighters debuted at number one last week with their critically acclaimed “Wasting Light”, while Adele stayed at number 2 with her “21” album.

“Paper Airplane” (Alison Krauss and Union Station), “So Beautiful or What” (Paul Simon) and “Drama y Luz” (Mana) all debuted at numbers 3, 4 and 5 respectively on the charts. Never heard of any of those albums (or people), but go check them out!

S&M finally reached number one on the Top 100 chart, and so the top 5 went as follows:

1. S&M-Rihanna ft. Britney Spears

2. E.T. – Katy Perry ft. Kanye West

3. Just Can’t Get Enough- The Black Eyed Peas

4. Down On Me- Jeremiah ft. 50 Cent

5. Fuck You – Cee Lo Green

Seems like Collabos are the way to go. Stay tuned Sunday for this week’s charts (they still haven’t been released for some reason)…….

Yea. What does this have to do with music? Well, rap star Drake will be doing some voice work for the fourth Ice Age film coming soon, alongside Wanda Sykes, Jennifer Lopez, and Aziz Ansari. Not going to make me watch the film though……….And I seriously hope that Drake does NOT make a song for this film.

Beyonce, who released her first single from her yet-to-be-titled fourth album Run The World (Girls) yesterday, is being sued for over $100 million by software developer Gate Five for breaching a contract which held her responsible for helping create a motion-sensing dancing game to be titled Staypower: Beyonce.

Apparently the superstar, on a whim, “drove 70 people into unemployment” by deciding, the week before Christmas, that she was not going to do the game at all.

Her team has not responded with any comments on what happened, so for now we only have the story of the game company. I’m sure there’s more to the story…………..but, even if she’s guilty………………it’s BEYONCE. Who cares? In a week or two I’m sure that her new single will be number one. Listen below!

Rounding out the news for today, dynamic duo Jennifer Lope and Marc Anthony are teaming up with American Idol creator Simon Fuller to create a new "Q'Viva! The Chosen." The show’s purpose is to through 21 Spanish countries to find “the best performers in Latin music, dance and other arts with the goal of creating a live extravaganza.”

"We are going to places where all of this talent lives and wouldn't have otherwise been discovered”, said Lopez.

Marc also commented on the show, saying that it will "provide an outlet to a whole new generation that have been waiting to have their voices heard."

Congratulations to the couple who are representing for their culture!

And with that I will see you all on Sunday for another edition of music news! Later.
