Nelly, Chris Brown And Plies Serve Up Old School Slow Jam “Long Gone”
Tue Oct 19 2010 by Robbie Daw
Belt-challenged Nelly teams up with fellow comeback kid Chris Brown and Plies for "Long Gone," a new jam off the "Just A Dream" rapper's upcoming album 5.0. And not only does the song play on our biggest weakness—handclaps—it also employs a smooth early-'90s-R&B melody. We just might be hooked! Listen below.

Glee’s ‘Journey’ Trumps ‘Eclipse’ And Christina Aguilera On The Chart
Wed Jun 16 2010 by Robbie Daw
Journey To Regionals, the soundtrack to Glee's final episode of Season 1, proved to be a vampire slayer when it came to beating the Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack to #1 on the Billboard Top 200. The trade publication reports today that the Glee EP ended up selling 152,000 copies—enough to send Jack Johnson from the top to #4 and hold Eclipse (144,000 copies) at #2. So where did that leave Christina Aguilera?

Jeezy Scares The Be-Jeezy Out Of Us In His “Lose My Mind” Video
Mon Apr 26 2010 by Robbie Daw
Director TAJ has been on a roll turning out the videos lately, but perhaps none have creeped us out so effectively as Jeezy's new one for "Lose My Mind." The Atlanta-based rapper, whose album Thug Motivation 103 is due out later this year, spends a night at the club with his pal plies in the clip, but by the end the whole evening spirals into a nightmarish vision of someone on a gurney with a sheet over their head in a restroom sitting up as the spooky track abruptly ends. If that's just the kind of freaky stuff you're into, then head below to go nuts with "Lose My Mind."

Behold: The Pliesroll, Brought To You By Some Bored Guy On The Internet
Tue Oct 21 2008 by Maura
This morning while doing my YouTube rounds, I found a clip claiming to have as its audio bed a high-quality version of Kanye West’s Tears For Fears homage “Coldest Winter,” so I–hoping to hear the song without all that peaking and radio static that nearly ruined last week’s leak somewhere around listen No. 10–clicked. But instead of “Coldest Winter, however, we’re treated to a video that fuses together a photo of Steve Jobs holding a pitcher of Kool-Aid, paparazzo shots of The Game and Snoop Dogg, and gunshot sounds in a way that’s seemingly inspired by both Paperrad and ransom notes.
This Just In: Americans Enjoy Listening To Lil Wayne While Possibly Getting Inebriated
Tue Jul 15 2008 by Dan Gibson
We love charts here at Idolator, but sometimes they can be so elitist. Who cares what critics think, or what the program directors of America feel like shoving down peoples’ throats? We want to know: What are the people demanding to hear? What songs inspire people to vote with their wallets, making them insert a dollar into a machine with one hand while holding a longneck in the other?
I Beg Your Pardon, But The Time For A Response Song To An Old Pop Chestnut Is Long Overdue
Wed Jul 2 2008 by Maura
If a cheeky keyboard-driven outfit were to craft a peppy minor hit out of an 18-year-old soft-rock song, similar to the way the Canadian outfit Kon Kan transformed Lynn Anderson’s “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden” into their U.S. top 20 track “I Beg Your Pardon,” what song would you pick to be rescued from the pop history books? Feel free to ponder this question while noting the lyrical back-and-forth between the Kon Kan track and the Anderson song, which I’ve placed after the jump.
Least Shocking News Of The Day: Coldplay To Debut At No. 1 Next Week
Fri Jun 20 2008 by Dan Gibson
Most people figured that Coldplay would have the top-selling album on next week’s charts, but would Viva La Vida reach Lil Wayne’s cool million in first-week sales? More »
Lil Wayne Can Dry His Tattooed-On Tears
Wed Jun 18 2008 by Maura
As previously noted, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III blew into the No. 1 spot on this week’s album charts thanks to a sales total that just broke the million mark–a feat that isn’t all surprising given last week’s early-bird chart debut, but is still probably causing some chilling-since-2005 Champagne corks to get popped in the offices of Universal Music Group.
Sure, Lil Wayne Is Going To Sell A Boatload Of Albums. But What About Plies?
Fri Jun 13 2008 by Dan Gibson
At this point, we’ve all heard that Lil Wayne is going to dominate the charts next week, approaching the long-forgotten one week/one million sold mark last achieved by 50 Cent in 2005. More »

As if rapper Plies wasn’t smarting already from being a first-round loser in our Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament, now he’s going to have to find new representation (along with a new art director), since his manager was arrested with 80 pounds of cocaine on Tuesday. More »
