Adele spent 7 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 with her smash hit ‘Rolling In The Deep’ and now she has returned to the chart summit, this time with ‘Someone Like You’. Fueled by her show-stopping performance at the 2011 MTV Awards, the song has vaulted from #19 to #1.
Last month The Lava Lizard encouraged our readers to discuss the controversial topic of whether the industry was ready to accept openly gay men in Hip-Hop and R&B. Now, just days after nabbing the top spot on the Billboard 200 with his ‘The R.E.D. Album’, Game has shared his views regarding the issue.
Adele has set a new standard for success as her ’21′ album nabbed the top spot on the United World Chart for an awe-inspiring 21st week. The record sold yet another 234K copies and surged ahead of all contenders, including The Throne’s ‘Watch The Throne’ and Game ‘The R.E.D. Album’.
2011 has comprised several surprises but the latest shocking moment came from a pair of unlikely sources. Game and Christina Aguilera have overcome widespread speculation that their careers had ended by scoring the top spots on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, respectively.
Adele’s ’21′ was released 31 weeks ago but the album is still exceeding all expectations on the UK Albums Chart. However, the same can’t be said about The Throne’s ‘Watch The Throne‘, which has tumbled out of the top 10 in its 3rd week on the lineup.
The MTV VMA isn’t the only major event taking place this weekend. The 11th annual BMI Urban Awards were held last evening at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood and attracted some of the industry’s brightest young stars such as Christina Milian, Dawn Richard, Drake and many others.
Game pays homage to some of entertainment’s most notable female figures in this new song entitled ‘Good Girls Go Bad’. Produced by Cool & Dre, the track features Drake and will appear on the rapper’s upcoming ‘The R.E.D. Album’.
Game truly knows how to surprise people. After springing the tracklist of his upcoming ‘The R.E.D. Album’ yesterday, the rapper has now released a preview of the record.
Game is a “bipolar bear”. The rapper visited Hot 93.7′s ‘Jenny Boom Boom Show’ where he was asked to share his thoughts regarding Jay-Z and Kanye West’s ‘Watch The Throne’ album and shockingly gave the record a favourable rating.
It looks like Game’s ‘The R.E.D. Album’ is actually going to be released this time. After multiple delays, the rapper has unveiled the official tracklist of the record that features appearances from Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Drake, Dr. Dre and several others.
