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, Lil Wayne & Tyga Live Large In “The Motto” Video
Thu Dec 22 2011 by Robbie Daw
You only live once, and if you're a member of Drake's crew, you live large. The Take Care MC let's us know he's "the f*ckin' man" and "25 sittin' on 25 mill" while he drives through the day and night in his "The Motto" video. Lil Wayne and Tyga show up for their respective rounds of boasting in the clip, which was directed by Lamar Taylor and Hyghly Alleyne. If we're being honest, not much really happens in the vid. But that sure is a nice beat.

Sat Dec 17 2011 by Idolator Staff
Not to be outdone by various Jingle Balls happening around the country, LA's Power 106 held a star-studded holiday concert of its own at the Gibson Amphitheater in LA last night, featuring a roster of heavy-hitters including Drake, Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, and more. But wait! You might say — wasn't Justin Bieber also celebrating Christmas In Washington last night? Indeed, but this was no Santa Claus-like feat in which the teen star appears at multiple places around the globe in a single night. The TNT special was pre-taped. Catch Drake and Bieber doing "Trust Issues" and more below.

Ke$ha Gets Sleazier With Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, T.I. & Andre 3000
Wed Dec 7 2011 by Becky Bain
Ke$ha has been relatively quiet the second half of 2011, her most recent single "Blow" released back in February. But the glitter goddess (whose next album is due Spring 2012) is resurfacing in a sleazy way — by dropping an unnecessary remix! "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier" will be available on iTunes December 13, and features verses by Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I. and Andre 3000. Need more sleaze? Check out K-Dolla's new Tumblr page, dedicated to photos of the pop performer putting beards in her mouth. Yuck.
B.o.B And Lil Wayne Go Green In “Strange Clouds” Video
Mon Dec 5 2011 by Robbie Daw
In the not-so-subtle video for B.o.B's Dr. Luke-produced single "Strange Clouds", the ATL rapper walks through a field as mysterious green lights flash across the sky. Eventually Lil Wayne joins up with him, and the two deliver their rhymes while preparing for a close encounter of the chronic kind. T.I. makes a few appearances throughout. But having little kids in the video is an extra-classy touch. Watch below.

Nicki Minaj Channels Lil Wayne In Birdman’s “Y U Mad” Video
Sun Nov 27 2011 by Idolator Staff
"Y U Mad" may have been the question Cher was asking Nicki Minaj regarding their Twitter beef on Friday. It is also the name of the Birdman song on which the Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded rapper is featured. Clad in baggy pants, long blonde dreads, and a no-fills white tank top, the American Music Award winner announces: "I am the female Weezy!" before proceeding to prove just that, dropping yet another scene-stealing series of rhymes over another artist's track. Then the real Lil Wayne shows up to see how she measures up. Head below to check it out — we doubt you'll be mad that you did. More »

Thu Nov 10 2011 by Robbie Daw
As T-Pain's Lily Allen-sampling/Wiz Khalifa-featuring hit "5 O'Clock" hovers just outside the Top 10 on the Hot 100, the tracklist for the Florida MC's upcoming album Revolver (out December 6) has been unveiled. Included are songs we've recently heard from the Auto Tune legend, such as "Drowning Again", "Nuthin'" (listed as a bonus track) and "Best Love Song".
