A few months (or weeks) from now, you may not remember who won the Super Bowl. But we bet you'll remember who performed at halftime, and that's just one reason why she dominates the latest Pop & Fizz chart. We've tallied the ups and downs of M.I.A., Lana Del Rey, Missy Elliott and the rest of this week's news-making pop artists, and you'll find the results below. (Remember, we study each artist or major news story according to their size (that’s Rank) and then we weigh how they’re faring overall in the pop zeitgeist (that’s Hype). Who do you think will top the chart following the Grammy Awards? Hmmm... More »

Brandy And Monica Team Up For New Single “It All Belongs To Me”

Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
After fighting over a man in their hit single "The Boy Is Mine" fourteen years ago, Brandy and Monica have matured and called a truce. Their new collaboration, the snappy R&B tune "It All Belongs To Me", is a sequel of sorts to their 1998 song, with both singers agreeing that their man "must be blind, you must be dumb, you must be trippin', you must be crazy to know that I would let you off that easy." Nice to see these two ladies finally getting along! More »


Brandy & Monica’s “It All Belongs To Me” Single Set For February Release

Tue Jan 17 2012 by Robbie Daw
And here you thought Paris Hilton and LMFAO were the only classy pop pair-up with new music on the horizon! When word came last week that Brandy and Monica hit a studio together with Rico Love, naturally our eyebrows arched and we played "The Boy Is Mine" 37 times in one sitting. Now Billboard reports that the ladies' joint single is called "It All Belongs To Me" (wait — which one is "me"?), and it will be released on February 6. The tune will appear on both Monica's sixth album New Life (out March 6) and Brandy's next LP (also out in March). More »

Brandy Drops By ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ (PHOTOS)

Tue Jan 10 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman

Brandy stopped by The Wendy Williams Show yesterday to chat about joining season 5 of BET’s The Game, her upcoming album, reuniting with Monica and to dish about a new man in her life. Of course the daytime host wasn’t going to let the Dancing With The Stars diva off her set without attempting to stir the pot regarding Brandy’s Marriage Counselor co-star Kim Kardashian. But instead, the R&B songstress delivered this message to Kim, “I love you and I’m here whenever you need me.” Catch Ms. Norwood as she exits the NYC studio (in the dead of winter) in sassy little shorts.

Mon Jan 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
"Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?" So began Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine", a cheeky female take on Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's classic "The Girl Is Mine". The sassy slice of funk-pop went on to spend 13 weeks atop the Hot 100 chart, thus becoming the best-selling single of 1998. And it looks the ladies, who hit a Miami studio together over the weekend, are aiming to release a follow-up to their '90s smash. More »

Sat Nov 12 2011 by Idolator Staff
It's been quite some time since Brandy was a major player in the music scene — her last full-length output was 2008's Human, which performed less-than-spectacularly on the charts. But all that is about to change — she hopes — with the 2012 release of her sixth studio album. The Dancing With The Stars diva recently popped up on the Timbaland track "808" to preface her comeback, and now she has released a lengthy Ustream chat with producer Sean Garrett in which she teases fans with new music.

Tue Aug 30 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman

Wilson Phillips’ Chynna Phillips will cha-cha her way onto Season 13 of Dancing With The Stars, and the “Hold On” singer expressed her excitement to put her former ballet training to work with the Venetian Waltz. (She also hopes her recent movie cameo in Bridesmaids will encourage viewers pick up the phone to vote this Fall.) We’re stoked to see the 43-year-old join the ranks of 12 seasons worth of pop star contestants when the competition kicks off September 19. Dance down memory lane as we remember some of our favorite music acts to tango onto DWTS. More »
