US Chart Roundup: Scotty McCreery & Lauren Alaina Should Make Out On TV More Often

The aftershocks of Lady Gaga's Born This Way album release and her American Idol finale performance last week send "The Edge Of Glory" up 11 positions to #8 on this week's Billboard Hot 100, while "You And I" enters the chart at #37 and "Marry The Night" debuts at #79. "You And I" is Gaga's 12th song to chart in the Top 40, though it's technically not a single.

Speaking of Idol, Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery's "I Love You This Big" lands on the Hot 100 at #11, while runner-up Lauren Alaina's cover of Kristy Lee Cook's "Like My Mother Does" debuts at #20. So are those two hitting it, or is that just the hype being used to boost their post-AI profiles, since everyone pretty much forgot about Lee DeWyze the minute the show ended last year?

Meanwhile, thanks to a round of promo appearances last week (The Oprah Winfrey Show, Billboard Music Awards, Idol finale, etc.), Beyonce's dismal "Run The World (Girls)" scrapes its way up to #29. The mediocre attempt at music had previously debuted and peaked at #33.

Currently, Beyonce's flop is #34 on iTunes, so it shouldn't bother the upper reaches of the Hot 100 much.

I already rambled on yesterday about Born This Way topping the main album chart with 1.108 million copies sold in its first week. Billboard is now reporting that the LP will likely remain at #1 for a second week, and could sell around 200,000 more copies.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele *4 weeks*
2. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
3. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
4. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbul
5. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
6. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
7. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears
8. "The Edge Of Glory" - Lady Gaga
9. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett & GoonRoc
10. "I'm On One" - DJ Khaled feat. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne

Scotty McCreery Wins 'American Idol', But What The Hell Was Up With TLC?

I haven't mentioned American Idol much around these parts this season because, quite frankly, I've been recapping it for Idolator for the past two years and am pretty American Idoled out when the day is done. But I will say that, like a lot of people, I had this year pegged as being a Scotty McCreery-James Durbin finale.

Lauren Alaina is sweet and obviously talented, and I guess that's what got her to the runner-up position. But the real question is this: is she boinking Scotty on the side? It never crossed my mind until last night's final episode, when McCreery was crowned the winner and he mumbled something about the two of them sticking together. Then she kissed him (on the cheek) a bunch of times. Hmmm.

Anyway, as for all the guest performances, that medley by TLC was kind of a train wreck, no? Why were they lip syncing? T-Boz clearly looked disappointed when it was all over. She also looked out of breath and out of shape, the poor doll. Had no idea about her health issues in the past few years. Very surprised they did the performance.

Oh, well, "No Scrubs" and "Creep" are still my jams.

Here's What I Have To Say About Beyonce And Britney Spears At The Billboard Music Awards

It's pretty much taken me 24 hours to muster up the energy to comment on Beyonce and Britney Spears' performances on last night's Billboard Music Awards because of the following reasons:

1. Beyonce's well-timed Millennium Award has caused her disaster flop single to climb to #15 on iTunes, and for that I might have to Travis Bickle (see above video, Pop Chyldryn) the next person I hear playing the shit track.

2. Britney is a dead-in-the-eyes zombie twat. I actually lied about waiting to comment on this — I typed up a whole post at Idolator today about her phoned-in "live performances."  WASTED. Max Martin and Dr. Luke, in the future, please give all insanely rad tracks to Kelly Clarkson, Pink or even Katy Pussy instead.

3. I was too busy Barbie Doll-legging myself all day to Lady Gaga's fucking fantastic new album.

U.S. Chart Roundup: Lady Gaga Redeems Herself After "Judas" With "The Edge Of Glory"

It's a second week for Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, and an eighth week at #1 for her sophomore album 21 on the Top 200 chart. Not only is 21 the only album to cross the million mark as far as copies of an LP sold this year, it's also getting closer to 2 million (right now it stands at 1.7 million since its late February release).

Elsewhere, Lady Gaga's "Judas" looks to be officially dead in the water. The song drops from #19 to #27 on this week's chart, while previous single  "Born This Way" slides still hangs in the Top 20 at #19. Of course, the good news is that "The Edge Of Glory" debuts at #3 and becomes her eighth single to crack the Top 5. Only "Paparazzi" (#6) and "Judas" (#10) charted lower.

And let's face it — while I liked "Judas" at first, it's kind of a dud when compared to some of the hotter tracks from Born This Way (like "Marry The Night" and "Electric Chapel"). That broad needs to step away from the bong and start making better single choices.

Enrique Iglesias' new single "Dirty Dancer" debuts one notch above "Born This Way," at #18 (credit his performance on last week's American Idol results show).

Meanwhile, the True Talent From Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland cracks the Top 30 with her Lil Wayne-assisted single "Motivation." It's at #26, while Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" continues its disastrous plummet, this week from #65 to #76.

Jordin Sparks also performed on Idol last week, and her new single "I Am Woman" debuts at #82. Enjoy it, darlin', because it's pretty much off to the stripper pole in Victorville once you're dropped from the label by Christmas.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele *2 weeks*
2. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
3. "The Edge Of Glory" - Lady Gaga *new*
4. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
5. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
6. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
7. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
8. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears
9. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
10. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent

It's Beyonce's '4' Album Cover And Super-Flop "Run The World (Girls)" Video

Nice of House Of Dereon's Main Wig Beyonce to be promoting the slaughter of animals on her 4 album cover. And why she gotta jack Shakira's swag? More like 4lop. This trash is out June 28.

The album has been preceded by MEGA-flop single "Run The World (Girls)," which, even after the video premiered on American Idol last night, has only managed to inch its way up to #58 on iTunes.

That looks like one expensive video. It really should have arrived about a month-and-a-half ago. But then again, even this Mad Max-esque farce directed by Francis Lawrence wouldn't have been able to change the fact that this complete abortion of a song sounds like aural road kill.

U.S. Chart Roundup: Adele Is #1, And Kelly Rowland Has A Bigger Hit Than Beyonce

All seems right in the world now that Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" has finally topped the Billboard Hot 100. I'm not saying I'm a massive Adele stan or that I don't have my moments where I'm completely sick of hearing "Rolling In The Deep." But it just feels like a song that should be a #1 hit. And given that it was released back in December, it sure took its time getting there.

Believe it or not, "Rolling In The Deep" actually only peaked at #2 in the UK, despite the fact that the song's parent album 21 has been #1 for 14 of its 15 weeks on the chart in Adele's home country. Here in the U.S., 21 is the top album for a seventh non-consecutive week.

Further down, Lady Antebellum's "Just A Kiss" debuts at #7. I have a total weak spot for Lady A these days, I'm afraid. I think I played their new single about 15 times in a row the day it came out. Call me a sucker for a good old-fashioned, well-structured ballad.

Outside of the Top 10, David Guetta, Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj's "Where Dem Girls At" debuts at #14 while Lady Gaga's "Judas" rebounds (thanks to the video's premiere) and moves up one position to #19. She's set to perform that hot trash on American Idol tonight.

Meanwhile, Kelly Rowland's "Motivation" climbs up to #31, i.e. two notches higher on the chart than Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" made it to. Once again, Kelendria proves who the REAL talent in Destiny's Child was.

In it's third week on the Hot 100, Beyonce's MEGA-FLOP single is down to #65.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele *1 week*
2. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
3. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
4. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
5. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
6. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears
7. "Just A Kiss" - Lady Antebellum *new*
8. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
9. "S&M" - Rihanna feat. Britney Spears
10. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes

Beyonce Names New Album '4'

House Of Dereon's Main Wig Beyonce is Billboard's next cover story, and in the mag's interview with the "Run The World (Girls)" singer, her upcoming fourth solo album's title is revealed to be 4. (Hey — numbers seem to be working for Adele these days, right?)

Weavonce tells the publication:

"We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.

"I recorded more than 60 songs: everything I ever wanted to try, I just did it. I started off being inspired by [Afrobeat music pioneer] Fela Kuti. I actually worked with the band from Fela! [the hit Broadway musical based on his life] for a couple of days, just to get the feel for the soul and heart of his music; it's so sexy, and has a great groove you get lost in. I loved his drums, all the horns, how everything was on the one. What I learned most from Fela was artistic freedom: he just felt the spirit. I also found a lot of inspiration in '90s R&B, Earth, Wind & Fire, DeBarge, Lionel Richie, Teena Marie... I listened to a lot of Jackson 5 and New Edition, but also Adele, Florence + the Machine, and Prince."

Later she offered up this diva-like statement: "At this point, I really know who I am, and don't feel like I have to put myself in a box. I'm not afraid of taking risks - no one can define me."

This may be true. Also hard to define: why it's taking so damn long for the "Run The World" video to premiere. Here's the third teaser:

U.S. Chart Roundup: Britney And Kelly Rowland Soar While Beyonce Flops Hard

Exactly two months after the single first arrived, Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends" gets a major push up the Billboard Hot 100 (to #3) thanks to the new remix featuring Wigney's upcoming tourmate Nicki Minaj and the song's co-writer Ke$ha. The last Britney single to peak at #3 on the chart was "Circus." This now gives her three Top 5 hits in a row, following "Hold It Against Me" and "3."

Don't expect The Wig's latest to stick around too long, though — the novelty of the remix appears to have been fleeting, as it's already dropped to #20 on iTunes. The original version of "Till The World Ends" is at #36 on the digital store's chart.

Likewise, it's odd that Billboard even credits Britney this week on Rihanna's "S&M" (#6), since that remix has plummeted to #152 on iTunes. (RiRi's Loud version is hanging in there at #18).

But let's focus on the two high profile singles that have dropped faster than an 17-year-old hooker's panties at R. Kelly's mansion: Lady Gaga's "Judas" and Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)." Gaga's latest has steadily tumbled, from #10 to #12 to, now, #20. At least she has this week's appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show and the premiere of the music video tonight to rely on (not to mention upcoming performances on the American Idol and Saturday Night Live finales).

Meanwhile, House Of Dereon's Main Wig has yet to premiere her video for "Run The World." But let's face it — that song sucks dry weave dust, hence its plunge from #33 to #48.

On the flip side, Kelly Rowland, the TRUE talent from Destiny's Child, climbs 11 positions to #43 with "Motivation." Finally, a little justice comes along to put Beyonce in her place.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West *5 weeks*
2. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
3. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears feat. Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha
4. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
5. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
6. "S&M" - Rihanna feat. Britney Spears
7. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
8. "Blow" -Ke$ha
9. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
10. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes

Another Teaser For The Sonic Abortion That Is Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" Video

What the hell? Hasn't anyone informed House Of Dereon's Main Wig that "Run The World (Girls)" flopped into the Hot 100 at #33 last week like a still-born mackerel shooting out of a giant grouper's mouth in a spray of vomit? Or that it's set to sink lower than a Thai lady-boy's head into the lap of an Amex black card-waving AARP member on this week's chart?

Guess not. Here's more garbage from the yet-to-be-released video for the shit track.



Beyonce, girl, do yourself a favor and pull the plug on this tripe. We can all pretend it never happened if you can.

UK Chart Roundup: Why Haven't Lady Gaga And Beyonce Scissored Yet?

Lady Gaga had better get crackin' with that "Judas" video, since the single plunged from #9 to #23 on the UK chart like a stripper in an upside-down split who just eyed a roll of nickels at the bottom of the pole.

Annoyingly, House Of Dereon's Main Wig Beyonce managed to find enough tone deaf fans to purchase her single massive fail single "Run The World (Girls)" to send it up from #18 to #11. One of those things I'll just never understand, I guess.

Adele's 21 is the top album for a 13th non-consecutive week.

The UK Top 10:

1. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO *3 weeks*
2. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
3. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
4. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi
5. "Sweat" - Snoop Dogg
6. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
7. "Unorthadox" - Wretch 32 feat. Example
8. "Guilt" - Nero *new*
9. "Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman
10. "Buzzin'" - Mann feat. 50 Cent

U.S. Chart Roundup: Beyonce's "Girls" Runs Off Track And Head-On Into A Wall

Following the pattern of her previous single "Firework," Katy Perry's "E.T." returns to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth non-consecutive week after a brief chart-topping interruption last week by Rihanna and Britney Spears' remix of "S&M."

Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" was performed by American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart last week to rather positive effect; the hopeful crooner managed to survive another week on the show, and Adele's single climbs to a new high of #2, matching its UK peak position. Likewise, Adele's 21 ballad "Turning Tables" debuts at #63 after a performance of it by Gwyneth Paltrow on Glee.

Two other artists from across the pond make slight advances this week on the Hot 100: Tinie Tempah is up one position to #13 with "Written In The Stars" while Jessie J's "Price Tag" also climbs one to #23.

This brings us to Beyonce's depressing (by her standards) debut at #33 with "Run The World (Girls)." The single went on sale at iTunes late last week and sold 77,000 downloads by Sunday evening. By comparison, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" sold 448,000 downloads between its Friday release day and the following Sunday in February, and it debuted at #1.

Granted, Lady Gaga is the hot new pop broad on the block. But by that token, Britney Spears moved 411,000 copies of "Hold It Against Me" in its first week of release in January. That single also debuted at #1.

Two weeks ago Gaga's second Born This Way single "Judas" entered the chart at #10 after initially selling 162,000 in only two-and-a-half days.

I guess what I'm saying is this: Beyonce, girl, time to get a new weave.

On a related note, Kelly Rowland's Jim Jonsin-produced "Motivation" moves up one to #54, proving that the Real Talent From Destiny's Child is back to reclaim her wig.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West *4 weeks*
2. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
3. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "S&M" - Rihanna feat. Britney Spears
5. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
6. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
7. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
8. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
9. "Blow" -Ke$ha
10. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green

UK Chart Roundup: Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" Is A Disastrous Flop

Beyonce's return with new material is off to a disastrous, Christina Aguilera/"Not Myself Tonight"-esque start. Indeed, House Of Dereon's Main Wig's single "Run The World (Girls)" has decidedly landed with a loud thud akin to a drunk hooker falling into a decrepit chicken coop and sending feathers in the air.

The wreck of a song flopped out of the iTunes Top 10 here in the U.S. a mere two days after its release, and now the single has limped into the UK chart at #18. Time will tell whether or not "Run The World" has any legs—but my guess is that some trash ballad or more mainstream pop jam will be rushed out ASAP (a la the tactic used when it became apparent from the get-go that Xtina's Bionic was going to tank harder than the Titanic last year), and Camp Beyonce will try to pretend that this flimsy dud never happened.

Elsewhere, 23 years after first peaking at #5 across the pond, Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" appears on the chart at #4 following Michael Collings' audition on Britain's Got Talent.



Is this gonna be some thing where the show's producers try to market this guy as another Susan Boyle? Because he doesn't have even a quarter of SuBo's sex appeal.

Over on the UK album chart, Adele's 21 returns to the top, after its initial 11-week run at #1 was interrupted last week by Foo Fighters.

The UK Top 10:

1. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO *2 weeks*
2. "Unorthadox" - Wretch 32 feat. Example *new*
3. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
4. "Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman *new*
5. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi
6. "Sweat" - Snoop Dogg
7. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
8. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
9. "Judas'" - Lady Gaga
10. "Buzzin'" - Mann feat. 50 Cent

Beyonce Fails Again With "Run The World (Girls)" Single Cover And Teaser Video

House Of Dereon's Main Wig has unveiled her "Run The World (Girls)" single cover art, and apparently this is a theme for cheap hookers in dim lighting wearing basement knockoff couture and dollar store weaves.

In the ridiculous trailer for the single, House Of Dereon's Main Wig straddles a big white horse like a pro, while some stock footage of some boring nature shit is edited in. Gays, this is where you're supposed to implode into a cloud of sparkle dust.



In a press release issued this afternoon, it was noted that “Run The World (Girls)” was produced by Switch with additional production by House Of Dereon's Main Wig (yeah, right) and Shea Taylor. The song was written by Terius Nash (The Dream) and House Of Dereon's Main Wig (suuuuuuure).

NEXT.

Beyonce Aims Low With Ultra Boring "Girls (Who Run The World)"

Not quite sure who's been lying to Beyonce's ass while she's been recording tracks for her upcoming album, but she needs to fire their weaves pronto.

The new single from House Of Deron's Main Wig, called "Girls (Who Run The World)," has surfaced online this evening, and it's more like "Girl, Wake Me Up When You Move On From 2003, Cuz This Shit is TIRED." And I don't care if it samples Major Lazer. It still sucks.



Sorry, baby, but Heidi Montag moaned more exciting trash on Superficial just by showing up to the studio hung over, standing in front of a mic for 13 minutes and sitting on a popsicle.

Alicia Keys joined by Beyonce, Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz at MSG concert

Alicia Keys stopped at New York City's Madison Square Garden last night (March 17) during her "Freedom Tour" and gave her hometown fans a special treat with surprise performances from Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz.

Alicia Keys and Beyonce onstage together for the first time!

Keys first performed new and old tracks like "Love Is Blind," "If I Can't Have You" and a stunning duet with former back-up singer Jermaine Paul -- who also served as an opening act along with Melanie Fiona and Robin Thicke -- for "Diary." But it was when the drums to her single "Put It In A Love Song" blared through the speakers that the crowd got most fired up. After performing her verse Keys introduced Beyoncé, who descended from the top of a staircase located towards the back of the stage and joined Keys for the remainder of the song. Ending in a dance routine, the performance marked the first time the two artists ever shared a stage

Alicia Keys and Jay-Z repping for their hometown!

With Beyoncé making a surprise appearance onstage, it was only fitting that her husband would do the same at the self-proclaimed "House that Hovie built." As Keys momentarily stopped playing the piano, her alleged boyfriend, producer/rapper Beatz, took the stage to his own collaboration with Jay-Z "On To The Next One," before Jay-Z himself came out for a performance of "Empire State of Mind." Scenes of Times Square and the city skyline appeared on the jumbo screens behind, setting the perfect backdrop for the Big Apple anthem as the masses sang in unison and waved their hands in the air.
