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...

Thu Feb 9 2012 by Becky Bain
Jay-Z and Kanye West have double reason to celebrate — their Watch The Throne single "Ni**as In Paris" just went double-platinum, and their seizure-inducing video (filmed at the duo's final tour stop at LA's Staples Center last December) received a fair amount of positive reviews from critics and fans alike. (Though it's quite possible that many epileptics did not react favorably to the video's kaleidoscopic effects and flashing lights.) See what everyone was saying about Jay and Kanye goin' gorillas in their visually stimulating concert vid.

Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
If you were expecting some fancy scenery from the City Of Lights to play into the video for Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne hit "Ni**as In Paris", then you're out of luck. The clip for the often-performed song is instead comprised mostly of footage shot last December during the hip hop duo's final Staples Center gig in Los Angeles. Some headache-inducing (or, as the intro warns, epileptic fit-inducing) camera effects and a cameo by Blades Of Glory star Will Ferrell are mixed in for the heck of it. Watch below.

For better or for worse, UK-based music magazine NME has rolled out its shortlist of nominees for its 2012 NME Awards.

Beyonce And Jay-Z Name Oprah Godmother Of Blue Ivy
Wed Jan 25 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Drumroll please. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have reportedly picked the godmother for their daughter Blue Ivy and it's none other than media mogul Oprah Winfrey! (Though, isn't Oprah technically everyone's godmother?) It seems only natural that the girl who will one day run the world — having already become the youngest person to make the Billboard charts — would have the Forbes Celebrity 100's #2 gal to look after her. We imagine Mama O will only read Blue bedtime stories bearing her Book Club's seal of approval, and that this news came as a serious A-Ha moment for Bey's sister Solange and basically-also-her-sister Kelly Rowland. (Sorry ladies.) [Media Take Out]
