Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back To Black’ Back In The Charts
Wed Jul 27 2011 by Robbie Daw
It's a notable chart week for several factors, not the least of which is the boost — a whopping jump of 3,140% — Amy Winehouse's 2007 LP Back To Black sees following the London soul singer's death. Other interesting Billboard Top 200 highlights: Adele's 21 returns to #1 for an 11th week, Kidz Bop 20 enters at #2, 3 Doors Down's aptly debut at #3 with Time Of My Life and Beyonce's 4 is at #4 in its fourth week.

Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, And Ne-Yo Join DJ Khaled On “Legendary” New Track
Fri Jul 15 2011 by Idolator Staff
DJ Khaled may not have emerged anything close to victorious in our Song of Summer 2011 poll, but the "I'm On One" artist is giving it another go with the new track "Legendary" off his immodestly-titled LP We The Best Forever, out this Tuesday. Khaled brings out some pretty big R&B guns — Ne-Yo, Keyshia Cole, and Chris Brown (sans bowtie) — on this hip hop tune about staying strong and thinking you're pretty great. Is this trio even stronger than the heavy-hitting guests featured on "I'm On One" — Lil Wayne, Drake, and Rick Ross? Listen below.

Lady Gaga’s “The Edge Of Glory” Crowned ‘Song Of Summer 2011′ By Idolator Readers
Fri Jul 15 2011 by Idolator Staff
The results are in! Idolator readers voted Born This Way their most-anticipated album of 2011, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that they voted the LP's third single as the 2011 Song of Summer in our poll. The handicapped fish-lady can join last year's winner Enrique Iglesias poolside to sip pina coladas and soak up some rays (with "The Edge Of Glory" playing on repeat, of course). How did the rest of the nominees — including Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, and Katy Perry — fare? Ironically enough, let's just say most of her competitors are on the very, very outer edge of glory, with Gaga smack-dab in the center. See how it breaks down below.

BET Awards 2011 Performances
Sun Jun 26 2011 by Idolator Staff
BET's annual awards showcase took over LA's Shrine Auditorium in style, and though Chris Brown led the field with the most nominations, it was far from clear that he would own the night. The 2011 edition of the show was packed with emotional moments, like Nicki Minaj's acceptance speech, and some classy, brassy performances by Mary J. Blige and Jill Scott. (Also appearing: Rick Ross, bare-chested again.) You knew the Beyonce performance would rock the house, even if it was recorded at Glastonbury — but did Ms. Kelly Rowland steal the show with her (Janet Jackson-inspired?) number? Watch all the BET Awards performances below. More »

Lil Wayne, Drake, And Rick Ross Join DJ Khaled On “I’m On One”
Thu May 12 2011 by Idolator Staff
Considering that all DJ Khaled does is win, it seems unnecessary to even weigh in on what we think about his latest track "I'm On One." Certainly the well-connected producer could do worse than tap the soon-to-be-unplugged Lil Wayne and the Sprite-ly Drake to appear on his new record (both of whom he has partied with recently). So has the forever-triumphant DJ learned any humility since his last major hit? Head below to hear "I'm On One" for the answer.

Last night, Lil Wayne was living it up down in Miami at his Welcome Home Party thrown by Cash Money Records, just three days after his release from Rikers Island.
