Chris Brown new track: They Say



The Japanese Bonus Track They Say by Chris Brown leaked today, and his latest studio album Graffiti didn't do a very good job on the charts, debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with his label saying it was overshipped. Chris Brown should have waited a little longer before he released anything new and maybe he would have done better. Anyway, enjoy.

Big News: Albums to look out for this year (Nov - Dec 15th)

These are a list of albums to look out for coming this November all through December 15th. It's gonna be GREAT. I will update more when more albums have a release date after 15th December.



Country superstar who won the hearts of America back in Season 4 of American Idol is getting ready to release her third studio album entitled Play On on November 3rd.



Britney Spears celebrates her decade-long career in the music industry full of ups and downs. Right now, she has lots to celebrate for because she became the first artist in 11 years (excluding any American Idol related artist) to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, which she did with 3, the lead single from her Singles Collection coming out November 10th.



Leona Lewis won The X Factor UK back in 2006 and took a year to record her debut album Spirit, which the lead single Bleeding Love shot her to #1 all around the world with. After successfully breaking into the US music industry, she's set to release Echo on November 16th, her sophomore album that should be another success for her, where Happy, the lead single from the album is expected to climb the charts.



Norah Jones broke onto the music scene in 2002 when her debut album went straight to #1 and has since released 3 commercially successful studio albums. She's going to release her fourth studio album The Fall November 17th.



Kris Allen appeared as the humble college student who took the crown of the eighth season of American Idol and has since inked a record deal with Jive/19 Recordings and will release his post-Idol self-titled album on November 17th. He has already released his first single Live Like We're Dying.



The boys of OneRepublic shot to worldwide fame literally overnight when their debut single Apologize shot straight to #1 on the charts and their second single Stop And Stare did really well too. OneRepublic has since been hard at work with their follow-up album Waking Up due for release on 17th of November. First single All the Right Moves has already been released.



15 year-old Canadian singer Justin Bieber was first discovered on Youtube and has been signed as of 2008 and will be releasing his debut album My World on November 17th. His first two singles One Time and One Less Lonely Girl have been Top 20 hits in the US and Top 15 hits in Canada which should give him a relatively stable career.



Susan Boyle, who was such an Internet phenomenon had always wanted to release an album and now that dream is about to materialise. 23rd November is the day Susan Boyle releases her debut album I Dreamed A Dream.



Lady Gaga rocketed straight to the top of the charts when her debut singles Just Dance and Pokerface hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, she's going to re-release her debut album titled The Fame: Monster on the 23rd of November.



After the Chris Brown incident, many thought Barbardos singer Rihanna would take a while to recover inside but instead she went straight back to work and started work on her fourth studio album Rated R, where the first single released Russian Roulette debuted at the Billboard Hot 100 at #100.



Adam Lambert finished in second on Season 8 of American Idol and is working on his debut album For Your Entertainment to be released November 23rd. His single for the soundtrack from the upcoming film 2012 has debuted at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the first single from his debut album For Your Entertainment is confirmed to be the title track.



Latin singer Shakira will release the US edition of her latest English studio album She Wolf on the 24th of November and the first single She Wolf has peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and second single is confirmed to be called Give It Up To Me.



16 year-old rocker Allison Iraheta was first discovered on Season 8 of American Idol and was booted off the competition, finishing fourth and after much speculation, has been signed under Jive/19 Recordings and her album Just Like You will be out December 1st and her single Friday I'll Be Over U will be available for digital distribution November 3rd.



Chris Brown is set to release his comeback album after the Rihanna incident tarnished his reputation somewhat. Graffiti marks his third studio album and he has confirmed that it is already completed and was scheduled to hit stores December 15th but has since moved forth to December 8th.



There is no offical album cover for Alicia Keys' The Element Of Freedom yet, so this is the cover for the lead single Doesn't Mean Anything which is her highest chart debut so far. This will be her fourth studio album after putting out three studio albums that have done very well. The Element Of Freedom will be released December 15th.


Who's album are you anticipating?

Chris Brown new track: I Can Transform Ya [ft. Lil Wayne]



Chris Brown has a lot to do to win back some people who seem to be hating on him after the whole 'beating up Rihanna thing'. He's set to release his new album Graffiti next year, and some how the album title reminds me of a gangster-ish kind of album. Well, who knows?

Big News: Chris Brown's just desserts



R&B singer Chris Brown has been sentenced to five years of probation and 180 days of community labor for his February assault on his former girlfriend, pop star Rihanna. The 20-year-old singer, who appeared before a court judge with his mother, best friend and bodyguards, was also ordered to stay at least 100 yards (90 meters) away from Rihanna until August 2014, a distance that can be reduced to 10 yards (nine meters) during industry events.

Brown will be able to serve his sentence in his home state of Virginia, but will be required to return to Los Angeles every three months to update Judge Patricia Schnegg on his progress.

"I wanted to see actual physical labor as opposed to community service," Schnegg said.

Brown will perform labor such as "trash pickup, car cleaning and maintaining grounds," she said, and will participate in counseling at a Catholic charity.

He is also ordered to complete a one-year domestic violence program.

Schnegg said she was aware of broadcast "chatter" that mentioned possible meetings between the two performers, and warned Brown that such encounters would be unacceptable.

"This is a felony conviction with the potential for state prison if probation is violated in any way," the judge said.

District attorney spokesman Sandi Gibbons said the DA's office felt the sentence for Brown "is an equitable one. It's in his hands."

Brown said he understood the sentence. Upon leaving the courtroom, he and his lawyer declined to speak with reporters.

According to a court report, Brown was also involved in two other violent assaults against Rihanna prior to the attack in February, hours before the Grammy awards.

The first occurred in Europe three months earlier, when the two performers engaged in a verbal dispute, after which Rihanna slapped Brown, who responded by pushing her against a wall.

Then, three weeks before the February attack, the pair had another altercation in Rihanna's native Barbados, where they were driving in a Range Rover. Brown got out and broke both front windows. No one was injured.

The two incidents were not reported to authorities, according to the report.

Rihanna's lawyer, Donald Etra, said Rihanna is "doing fine and concentrating on pursuing her career."
