Jennifer Hudson Suggests You “Think Like A Man” On New Single
Fri Jan 13 2012 by Becky Bain
Though Chris Brown is the pop star who actually appears in the movie, it's Jennifer Hudson who nabbed the theme song for the upcoming 2012 film adaptation of Steve Harvey's book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. J-Hud powers through the soundtrack's lead single "Think Like A Man", which features Ne-Yo and Rick Ross. Though we don't necessarily agree with either the film or song title's suggestion (how about Act Like A Woman, Think Like A Woman?), this slow jam can't be denied. Hear it below.

Top Songs Of 2011: We Review Each #1 Single…In One Word
Sun Dec 25 2011 by Robbie Daw
Throughout 2011, a total of 14 singles topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Grammy-nominated UK songbird Adele was the artist who spent the most weeks at #1 this year, with her first two 21 singles. Rihanna had the song that was perched in the chart throne the longest. Katy Perry had the most #1s, while Christina Aguilera returned to the top after a 10-year absence. Also, Wiz Khalifa, Pitbull, LMFAO and Calvin Harris all took trips to the peak position on the Hot 100 for the first time.
Naturally, in retrospect, Idolator's Erika Brooks Adickman, Becky Bain and Robbie Daw had plenty to say about each of these singles. But rather than ramble on, they decided to pare down their thoughts to one(-ish) word. Head below to catch the Idolator editors' very brief reviews of this year's #1s! More »

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". But, good news, Breezy fans — Brown appears on not one, but two tracks here on Revolver. See T's full list of jams below.

Ne-Yo Teams Up With Trey Songz & T-Pain For “The Way You Move”
Mon Sep 19 2011 by Becky Bain
If we were to play "Boff, Marry, Kill" with the men featured on Ne-Yo's syrupy new R&B song "The Way You Move" — that would be Trey Songz, T-Pain and the "One In A Million" singer himself, oozing out his sweet falsetto — we'd definitely choose to marry Ne-Yo. Unfortunately for our us, it appears somebody beat us to the punch, as the R&B star has announced that he's engaged and expecting his second child with longtime girlfriend Monyetta Shaw. Lucky lady! Listen to "The Way You Move" below, and tell us who you'd "boff", marry or kill in the comments. Tough call, isn't it? More »

Mon Sep 12 2011 by Robbie Daw
If you're going to flub the lyrics to the National Anthem, yesterday, the 10-year-anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, was probably not the day to do it. (Just ask Cyndi Lauper!) But thankfully Ne-Yo didn't pull a Christina Aguilera as he held his hat to his chest and sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Landover, Maryland's FexEd Field, for the New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins NFL game. Head below to watch the "Give Me Everything" crooner vocally honor the fallen heroes of September 11th.
