Susan Boyle Still Controls Album Chart, Rihanna Lands Fourth #1 Single This Year

Wed Nov 24 2010 by Robbie Daw
Despite the fact that eight brand new albums crash the Top 10 of Billboard's Top 200 chart this week, there's still no budging Susan Boyle's The Gift from #1. In fact, the Scottish siren's sophomore LP actually sold 335,000 copies—a slight bump up in sales from last week. So where did Rihanna, Josh Groban, Nelly and the other artists who unleashed new releases land? Find out below. More »

Nelly Swings By ‘Chelsea Lately’

Fri Nov 19 2010 by Robbie Daw
Nelly showed his humorous side (not to mention his naughty streak) when he surprised Chelsea Handler with a sex swing last night. But don't get the wrong idea—the "Just A Dream" rapper was offering the gift up for her to use with rumored boyfriend 50 Cent. "If I wasn't friends with him before, we're gonna be friends after that," Chelsea joked. She then turned the tables and started prying into Nelly's relationship with Ashanti. Watch below. More »

Nelly Moves That Body On ‘Jimmy Kimmel’

Thu Nov 18 2010 by Robbie Daw
Let this be said for Nelly—the guy seems truly happy to be back with a major hit. The 5.0 singer-rapper hit up Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and tore through his current Top 10 single "Just A Dream" as well as his Dr. Luke-produced jam "Move That Body". But it's the smile on his mug and the overall sense of fun he seems to be having during each TV appearance that really sells the performance. Watch Nelly shake a tailfeather below. More »


Nelly And Ellen Dance In The Aisles, Give Each Other A Smooch

Tue Nov 16 2010 by Robbie Daw
St. Louis rapper Nelly kept on the promo trail for new album 5.0 by swinging by The Ellen DeGeneres Show today. He had a full band in tow for his performance of his smash "Just A Dream," a song that got the entire audience on their feet. But it was when Nellz dusted off his classic 2002 jam "Hot In Herre" that Ellen took to the aisles and busted some of her own trademark moves. Nelly eventually joined her, and in a totally Awww-inducing TV moment, the two gave each other a peck on the cheek. Watch below! More »

Nelly Tries To “Go” For The Heartstrings With ‘5.0′ Bonus Track

Sun Nov 14 2010 by Idolator Staff
With 5.0 dropping on Tuesday, it’s about time we got another taste of what Nelly’s offering on his fifth studio album. In keeping with the style of his (overly?) sentimental smash "Just A Dream", the St. Louis rapper has recorded a bonus track, the heavy "Go", featuring Kanye West's "Chain Heavy" collaborator Talib Kweli and Nelly's fellow St. Lunatic Ali. Does “Go” get a green light, or should Nelly just... stop? Go ahead, take a listen. More »

Keri Hilson Prohibits Boys, Allows Trashiness On Her Album Cover Art

Wed Nov 10 2010 by Becky Bain
Keri Hilson doesn't really look like Keri Hilson on her album cover for No Boys Allowed — the R&B singer — who seems to be mistaking her lipstick for a cigarette — either resembles 90210's AnnaLynne McCord, or that girl in the bathroom of that dive bar you went to that one time who threatened to beat you up. The album complete with a parental advisory warning — you can thank the dirty-minded "The Way You Love Me" for that.

There are no boys allowed on Keri's album cover, but she's fine heading into the studio with one. Listen to her collab with Nelly, "Liv Tonight", below. More »

Nelly And Kelly Rowland Pair Up Again For “Dilemma” Sequel “Gone”

Mon Nov 8 2010 by Robbie Daw
In 2002, Nelly and the hot and complex Kelly Rowland spent a whopping 10 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 with their lovey-dovey jam "Dilemma." Now "Gone," the pair's sequel to the tune, has surfaced ahead of the release of Nelly's 5.0 (out November 16, when it will go head-to-head with Rihanna's Loud and Pink's Greatest Hits...So Far!!!) So are the sparks between these two still flying? Listen below. More »

Nelly, Akon & T-Pain Place Their Bets In The “Move That Body” Video

Thu Oct 28 2010 by Becky Bain
In Nelly's "Move That Body" video, the St. Louis rapper rounds up his closest pals, including Akon and T-Pain, to check out some super-fit ladies having a Fight Club-style dance competition. Watching female dancers "step up" to one another is so entertaining, T.I. and Jermaine Dupri aren't even featured on the track and they still stopped by to get in on the action. What else are abandoned warehouses for if not a location for late night dance-offs? Jump below! More »

Nelly Dreams Away At The MOBO Awards

Fri Oct 22 2010 by Robbie Daw
The 15th MOBO Awards went down in Liverpool, England on Wednesday, and a rather (read: majorly) buff-looking Nelly jetted over to perform his current smash "Just A Dream" for the audience. He even managed to keep his belt around his waist! Here in the States, "Just A Dream" remains locked at #3 for another week on the Billboard Hot 100. Maybe Nell ought to get those biceps back on this side of the pond and hit up some talk shows to give the song a good push to the top? Watch his MOBO performance below. More »
