Norah Jones’ Danger Mouse-Produced ‘Little Broken Hearts’ LP Out In Spring
Tue Jan 24 2012 by Robbie Daw
Following the success of the Black Keys' current chart mainstay El Camino, Danger Mouse is next handling production chores on Norah Jones' fifth LP Little Broken Hearts (due out this spring). Along with Jack White, Grammy winner Jones lent her pipes to Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi's 2011 concept album ROME. A press release notes that the tracks for Little Broken Hearts were recorded in the fall, and Danger Mouse shares co-writing and production credits on all of them. Jones will be hitting theaters, ampitheatres and festivals on a full-fledged tour later this year.
VH1 Names Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love” The Best Song Of The ’00s
Fri Sep 30 2011 by Becky Bain
VH1 debuted their list of the 100 Greatest Songs Of The '00s — ya know, just twenty-two months after the end of the decade they're discussing. But that won't stop us from tearing apart their selections! Beyonce topped their list with her 2003 hit single "Crazy In Love", and though we cannot say it's our personal favorite song of the '00s (that would be like picking our favorite child), we won't argue with it. But there's plenty to debate with the rest of their pop-heavy list! More »
Lil Wayne’s Holds Steady Atop Album Chart While The Beatles’ ‘1′ Returns
Wed Sep 14 2011 by Robbie Daw
Despite a wave of bad reviews, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV holds the #1 position on Billboard's Top 200 album chart for a second week (though the 219,000 copies moved marks a 77% drop in sales). The only new album to debut in the Top 10 is George Strait's 39th studio offering Here For A Good Time (#3, 91,000), while The Beatles' compilation 1 returns at #4 (60,000) after a remastered edition made its digital debut.

Adele Extends Album Chart Reign To Six Weeks
Wed May 4 2011 by Robbie Daw
Billboard reports that Rolling Stone cover girl Adele sold another 124,000 copies of this year's breakout hit LP 21, enough to keep her safely lodged in the #1 position on the Top 200 for a sixth non-consecutive week. There are no new entries in the Top 10, and the only noteworthy factor about the new chart is that 21 is now tied with Taylor Swift's Speak Now, Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream and Norah Jones' Feels Like Home for female solo albums that have spent six weeks at #1 over the past decade. Only one female solo LP has racked up more time at the top in that period: Swift's Fearless (11 weeks).

The Morning Mix: Carson Daly Not Happy With Team Britney
Wed Mar 30 2011 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Carson Daly is tweetin' mad that he is required by Britney Spears' management to pre-record his interview with the pop star, and hand over his tapes so Team Britney can edit it to their liking. He says most interviews are "never that restricted. Even when I interviewed Michael Jackson, it wasn't anything like this... it's really insane." [Prophet Blog]
:: Lil Wayne admits in a recent radio interview on Hot 97 that he has yet to hear Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday or Drake's Thank Me Later. His excuse? "I work too hard." Weezy, you're even featured on Drake's LP! Maybe take a half hour break and give it a listen. [Rap-Up]
:: Mariah Carey has an arts-and-crafts sesh on her pregnant tummy. [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: 50 Cent will star in yet another movie. Just give the man a Lifetime Achievement Oscar and let's call it a day. [Consequence Of Sound]
:: Watch the Making Of Michael Jackson's "Hollywood Tonight" video. Since Michael isn't actually in it, it's a bit of a letdown (much like the actual video). [That Grape Juice]

The Morning Mix: Beyoncé Will Headline Glastonbury Fest

Did You Hear?
:: Pop music fans across the pond have better get ready for this jelly — Beyoncé will headline Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. this June, just three years after her hubby Jay-Z headlined the fest. Other unconfirmed acts for Glastonbury include U2 and Coldplay. [Billboard]
:: Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is releasing a big band album called Music Is Better Than Words, featuring collaborations with Norah Jones and Sara Bareilles. What, no Stewie and Brian duet? [EW Music Mix]
:: Rihanna has agreed to lift her restraining order against Chris Brown to a level 1, meaning they can interact as long as he doesn't "annoy, molest or harass" her. We don't think he'll be attempting any one of those any time soon, unless he wants to rehabilitate his image for a second time. [E! Online]
:: Have a sneak peak at Trey Songz's "Love Faces" video. It's safe to watch at work, unlike his other love faces. [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: James Blunt attempts to stay relevant by covering Katy Perry's "California Gurls", a song that reached its peak about 10 months ago. Try again, James. [PopEater]
