UK Charts: Adele Returns to #1 with 21

From NME.com:

Adele has reclaimed the Number One spot in the Official UK Albums Chart today (January 8) with her '21' LP.

The London-songstress has now spent 19 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the charts with the album, according to data from the Official Charts Company, making it the UK's longest-topping album in over 40 years.

Adele beat competition from Bruno Mars, whose 'Doo Wops And Hooligans' album held onto the Number Two spot, and last week's Number One album '+-' by Ed Sheeran, which dropped down to Number Three. Elsewhere, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Beyonce and Rihanna all had albums charting in the Top 10.

Meanwhile, Flo Rida nabbed the Number One spot in the Official UK Singles Chart with his track 'Good Feeling' coming out on top in the battle with last week's biggest-seller, Coldplay's 'Paradise'.

Taio Cruz went in at the Number Three position with 'Troublemaker', while Avicii's 'Levels' and Rizzle Kicks' 'Mama Do The Hump' claimed the Number Four and Five spots respectively. Olly Murs, Labrinth featuring Tinie Tempah and Jessie J were amongst the other acts to make up the rest of the Top Five.

I Was Here


End Of Time

Beyoncé & J. Cole › Party

 Yes, count them, this is video number six for Beyoncé and her album 4. There's J. Cole in the video and also a cameo by Kelly Rowland.

Beyoncé › Love On Top

She might be pregnant but that sure ain't stopping Beyoncé (or her label) from putting out video after video. The new visual might stand as the promo for Love On Top, off her recent album release 4. Just to put things into perspective, this is already her 5th video in 5 months after Run The World (Girls), Best Thing I Never Had, 1+1 and Countdown.

Coldplay's 'Mylo Xyloto' Album Cover(s)

One more week to go! In the meantime, is it the return of multiple album covers? I can't recall all of them but I know Beyoncé did it and Rihanna is also doing it. Take a look at the cover artwork for Coldplay's upcoming release Mylo Xyloto. And speaking of Rihanna, she'll also make a guest appearance on the band's album on the track titled Princess Of China.

US Charts: Beyoncé's '4' Headed For No. 1

From Billboard.com:

Beyonce's fourth studio album, "4," is headed for a No. 1 debut next week on the Billboard 200 chart with maybe 300,000 copies sold by week's send on Sunday, July 3, according to industry prognosticators. If it starts at the top, it will be her fourth No. 1 solo album -- her three previous studio sets all hit No. 1 as well.

A 300,000 launch is off from the 482,000 (according to Nielsen SoundScan) that greeted her last effort, 2008's "I Am... Sasha Fierce" and the 541,000-first week for 2006's "B'Day." Still, 300,000 could be viewed as a handsome bow in today's soft album-sales market and considering the set has yet to launch an across-the-board smash single.

Its lead-off track, "Run the World (Girls)," has so far peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold 424,000 downloads in the U.S. That stands in stark contrast to "Sasha Fierce," which was ushered in by two hit lead tracks: "If I Were a Boy" (No. 3) and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" (No. 1).

So far, "4," is Beyonce's first album that didn't see its lead single reach the Hot 100's top 10. Her 2003 "Dangerously In Love" debut launched with "Crazy In Love" (No. 1 for eight weeks) while "B'Day's" first single, "Deja Vu," hit No. 4.

Beyonce's "4" was one of a number of big albums that hit retailers on Tuesday, June 28. Among the other titles headed for a top five bow next week are rapper Big Sean's "Finally Famous" and Selena Gomez and the Scene's "When the Sun Goes Down." They are perhaps going to sell 90,000 and 80,000, respectively, in their debut frames.

Also aiming for a top 10 entry is David Cook's second album, "This Loud Morning" and Limp Bizkit's first studio album in six years, "Gold Cobra."

Beyoncé's 'Run The World (Girls)' Remixes

One of the major releases this summer is of course the album 4 by Beyoncé.

The album is out tomorrow, and while you wait for that one, here's a few remixes of Run The World (Girls) plus the original to get you going.

She's currently up one at #22 with Run The World (Girls) and a 'Power Play' New Entry at #89 with Best Thing I Never Had on this week's Top Songs Chart. She's also enjoying a respectable #15 debut on this week's premiere of the Top Shared Songs Chart.
