Bad Girl Confirmed ...

2009-01-09T13:16:00.000-08:00

The song was made for the soundtrack to the upcoming film "Confessions of a Shopaholic." And who do we have to thank for putting together the high-profile duet? Producer Polow da Don, who has worked with Fergie ("London Bridge"), Ciara ("Promise"), and Usher ("Love in This Club").

I came from a Jerry Bruckheimer meeting after seeing the movie, and they were telling us all the music they needed for all the scenes and the characters," Polow told MTV News of his sit-down with the producer of "Shopaholic." "So that night I went to the studio and I was telling Chris about (the meeting). And he was like, 'Let's get on it.' It was crazy, because Jerry Bruckheimer's dream was to have a song from Rihanna (for the movie), and I delivered Rihanna and Chris Brown in 24 hours. So they were like, 'Wow, that's crazy.' "

In the song, Rihanna talks about her shopping addiction, her penchant for bags and shoes and her not-so-thrifty purchasing habits.

"Need no bargain, need no sale/ I want the best, I dress me well," she sings.

Brown chimes in with a rap about his better half toward the end of the track.

"She's a walking sto', I'm talking about her clothes/ I just pause, I'm in awe, cause she's a fashion show."

"It's crazy, because Chris Brown's energy alone is incredible — he's a high-energy kid," Polow said. "Rihanna has a unique voice, and she's one of the easiest people to work with. When her, Chris and myself were in the room, it's fun. That's when the music isn't work at all. It's all freestyle. Chris comes up with an idea; I come up with one. Rihanna will weigh in. And we build. We actually did a lot more records that hopefully will be coming soon."

Pussycat Dolls: Top Of The World

Well, here is the full track, titled, Top Of The World, which was produced Calvo Da Gr8 and written by The Writing Camp. Enjoy this hot track!

America Gone GaGa

2009-01-09T09:45:00.000-08:00

Dance-pop singer Lady GaGa earned her first No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 singles chart Thursday with her Grammy-nominated tune "Just Dance."

At 22 weeks, the song makes the longest trip to the top since Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" (27 weeks) in November 2000. Yonkers-born Lady GaGa (birth name: Joanne Stefani Germanotta) will compete for the best dance recording award at the Grammys on February 8.

After four weeks at No. 1, Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," dropped to No. 2, swapping places with Lady GaGa. T.I.'s "Live Your Life" featuring Rihanna held at No. 3.

Albums chart champ Taylor Swift's "Love Story" rose one place to No. 4, flip-flopping with Kanye West's "Heartless." Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold" remained at No. 6, and Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" jumped five places to No. 7.

Britney Spears' "Womanizer" fell one to No. 8, Kevin Rudolf's "Let It Rock" featuring Lil Wayne rose three to No. 9, and West's "Love Lockdown," dropped four to No. 10.

For the first time since January 1998, the Hot 100 does not have a debut; the only additions to the list this week are re-entries.

Here is a new 2009 track titled Bad Girl which features a rap from her boyfriend, R&B superstar, Chris Brown. Overall its a solid track but there are certain points, such as the chanting, that turns the vibe off. This is rumored to be the lead single from the Shopaholic soundtrack.

Alexandra Breaks Records & Makes History

2008-12-16T14:43:00.000-08:00

The X Factor winner Alexandra Burke has made history after her version of Hallelujah became the UK’s fastest selling download single of all time.

The 20-year-old broke the record that X Factor poster girl Leona Lewis set when she won the show in 2006 and released the ballad A Moment Like This.

Burke sold 105,000 copies on Sunday, following her tear-soaked victory on Saturday night, compared to the now internationally successful Lewis’s 82,000.

The slew of sales proves the ITV talent show wields a power that even the world’s biggest pop acts can’t match. When Take That released their No 1 single Greatest Day last month, it sold 9,488 downloads on its first day, while X Factor judge Cheryl Cole’s group Girls Aloud shifted 7,600 copies when it released The Promise.

Previously covered by Bob Dylan, k. d. Lang, Rufus Wainwright, and the late Jeff Buckley, Burke has come in for criticism from some of the feted foursome's fans.

Following Burke’s win, one viewer commented on Times Online: “I happened to listen to Jeff Buckley's singing Halleluljah on Friday and was almost moved to tears as I often am when I listen to his version.

“I have just listened to the Alexandra Burke version and this time I was most definitely moved to tears. Her interpretation is criminal.”

But most said they cried for different reasons: “The voice of an Angel, who brought me to tears with shivers and goosebumps,” said Cass of Canterbury, Kent.

Burke’s X Factor win secured her a £1 million contract with judge Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Music.

Her first major live performance will be on New Year's Eve when she shares the stage at London's 02 Arena with Elton John.
