Adele and Jessie J dominated the list of 2012 BRIT Awards nominations with 3 nods each and now they have extended their rule to the charts. Impressively, both women have returned to the top of the UK Albums Chart and the Official UK Singles Chart, respectively.
It appears that 2012 will be the year of Jessie J. Indeed, after scoring three nominations for this year’s BRIT Awards and a spot on the panel of ‘The Voice (UK)’, the singer has vaulted to the top of the Official UK Singles Chart and claimed her 2nd #1 single on the tally.

Monica looked ravishing on the set of the upcoming ‘A Very BET Christmas Special’ this week. Supported by her husband, Shannon Brown, and fellow R&B singer Lloyd, she taped a rendition of the Holiday classic ‘O Holy Night’ for the show.
Hosted at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta on November 17th, the 2011 Soul Train Awards celebrated the accomplishments of R&B, Soul and Hip-Hop’s brightest young stars.

Beyonce defies the odds yet again by holding the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 for a 2nd consecutive week with ’4′. However, the album fails to meet sales projections.
