This week Billboard published its final charts dated in the 2011 calendar year. All in all, there were 31 LPs that rose to #1 on the Top 200 in 2011, several of which we highlighted in both our Summer and Fall Music Previews. We dissected the 13 chart-toppers from the first half of the year back in late June. (Adele’s 21 still ruled when all was said and done, with over 5 million copies sold by the end of December.) Now flip through the gallery of the 18 albums that triumphed from July on! More »

Drake Drops A Verse On Game’s “Good Girls Gone Bad”
Tue Aug 16 2011 by Becky Bain
Game's newest release The R.E.D. Album officially drops August 23, though the Internet is being gifted with selections from the LP. Drake cameos on track "Good Girls Gone Bad", and though Game sounds genuine when he says the song is dedicated to missing teen Natalee Holloway ("I feel for her daddy so I wrote this on Father’s Day"), the Take Care rapper keeps it silly by filling in his verse with references to cartoons. Listen below.

Sun Jul 3 2011 by Idolator Staff
"Ain't No Doubt About It" isn't exactly the full LP of new music we demanded from Justin Timberlake, but for now, we suppose it'll have to do. The Social Network star and creative director of Myspace linked up with yacht enthusiast Pharrell on Game's "Ain't No Doubt About It," and in the black-and-white video, the trio is living the high life with big boats, bikini-clad models, and plenty of bubbly. Is this wet 'n' wild clip arriving right on time to be our newest summer jam? Ain't no doubt about it! Take a look below.

Chris Brown Enlists His Famous Friends For His ‘F.A.M.E.’ Track List
Tue Feb 22 2011 by Becky Bain
We respect anyone who chooses not to forgive and forget Chris Brown assaulting Rihanna back in 2009 — but it appears as if most of the music industry has clearly moved on from the incident. (Even Rihanna has, in so many ways.) Brown's track listing for his fourth studio album, F.A.M.E., boasts such big-name guests as Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Timbaland, and — because he literally cannot be stopped from appearing in every corner of the universe — Justin Bieber. But will his fans be more supportive than they were for Graffiti? We'll find out on March 22 when the LP drops. For now, track list below.

Snoop Dogg And Game Alter Wiz Khalifa’s Hit To “Purp And Yellow”
Fri Jan 14 2011 by Robbie Daw
We won't go so far as to call Pittsburgh MC Wiz Khalifa (hometown represent!) a genius just yet. But he does appear to be having quite a moment with his Top 10 smash "Black And Yellow." Case in point: YouTube 9-year-old sensation Lyrikkal and her sassy homage video "Pink And Purple." Oh, you want more? How about Snoop Dogg and Game's Los Angeles Lakers-leaning "Purp And Yellow"?

Game And Robin Thicke Ride Their “Phantom” All The Way To The Bank
Wed Jun 23 2010 by Becky Bain
After Game and Robin Thicke honored their beloved Lakers with a ditty (as well as pushin' out a few more tracks together), the duo paired up for the smooth new tune "Phantom" off Game's will-it-or-won't-it-be-released album R.E.D. The track, produced by Dr. Dre, is pretty much just an ode to the Rolls-Royce Phantom and all the impressive things you can do inside the luxury automobile. Is this a real song or a commercial jingle? Does Game really love this car, or does he just love the money most likely paid to him so he would endorse the car? Either way, for a song about a mode of transportation, it happens to be pretty good. Listen below.
