“Know Your Enemy,” the first single from Green Day’s upcoming eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, is available now. After teasing fans with a snippet of the track, the full version has finally hit iTunes for the world to hear.
21st Century Breakdown, which will be released by Reprise Records worldwide on May 15th, is the best-selling trio’s first studio album since 2004’s two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide. In a recent feature, Rolling Stone called 21st Century Breakdown “even more ambitious than American Idiot” and “a record of die-hard punk ideals…tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement.”

The rapper will be producing Alexandra Burke’s very first album. Akon had this to say about working with the winner of “The X Factor”: “I’ve had calls to work with Alex and I’m going to do it. I love ‘The X Factor’ and I love helping to break new artists. To me, it’s one of the most enjoyable and important aspects of my job.” Also, Akon had this to say about Alexandra Burke’s artistic potential: “I’m taking people’s word on how good Alex is, like I did with Leona. It was a really refreshing experience working with Leona – she’s so quiet and calm.” It looks like an open and shut case, really. Akon probably has nothing to worry about how well Alexandra Burke can perform… after all she won “The X Factor”, that’s got to say something. And, in truth, best-sellers can be practically made from scratch these days.
Entire Album Available for Free Streaming on February 20th, Days Before Hitting Stores

U2 recently premiered their latest video for the hit single Get On Your Boots on MySpace Music to fans around the world.

Super-producer Timbaland says he is to busy and has told his fans that they should not expect a new album from his stable him anytime soon.
The Apologize beat maker, some time ago confirmed that he intended to create a new album which will be a follow-up to Shock Value the 2007 hit release. But now he is saying that although he had every intention on delivering on his promise but fans not to get too excited, because completion on the project is a long way off due to all the production work he’s been taking on.
He says, “Man, I’m so in demand that people are making up albums just to try and keep up with me! What people are reading out there (about releasing a new album) is nonsense. I’m only just starting to think about Shock Value 2, just recording and putting some ideas together, so there are definitely no song titles, release date, or any other news related to the album. When Shock Value 2 finally does exist in the real world, everybody’s gonna hear it from me.”
Hey man we can wait, with all that shit you rappers have delivered in 2008 we would say you can put it on the backburner. If you are busy that would keep a lot of dog silent and not barking. They hate noise pollution.
No Line On The Horizon, the new studio album from U2, will be released in North America on Tuesday, March 3, 2009.
Written and recorded in various locations, No Line On The Horizon is the group’s 12th studio album and is their first release since the nine million selling album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, released in late 2004.
Sessions for No Line On The Horizon began last year in Fez, Morocco, and continued in the band’s own studio in Dublin, before moving to New York’s Platinum Sound Recording Studios. It was completed at Olympic Studios in London.
The album calls on the production talents of long-time collaborators Brian Eno and Danny Lanois, with additional production by Steve Lillywhite.
In comparison to the sales of his previous albums, Kanye West’s latest is release is anything but up to par. But if you need to have a good laugh, you need to read his recent blog post about his new album. He pretty much just builds up his own hype. Here’s a snippet: “I’M GONNA WALK THIS ALBUM SLOW LIKE A MORE INDEPENDENT APPROACH. I FEEL LIKE A NEW ARTIST. THERE’S ACTUALLY ARGUMENTS AGAIN. IT REMINDS ME OF THE FIRST ALBUM WHEN EVERYBODY SAID I COULDN’T RAP. I LISTENED TO ‘SAY YOU WILL’ LAST NIGHT AT MY HOUSE AND WAS DAAAMN, THIS SONG IS SOOOO DOOOPE!!! I’M A FAN OF WHAT I’VE MADE.” I’m sorry for all the caps by the way.

Queen of the World Rihanna has accomplished another impressive thing. According to Billboard, her album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ has produced 8 charted singles, with all of the singles doing amazingly well. That’s a huge thing considering some people are lucky to get two hit songs off an album. The last person to do Rihanna’s charting was Shania Twain when her album ‘Come on Over’ produced 8 hits from 1997-1999. Rihanna was able to crank out 8 in less time than Shania though as the Barbadian babe just took 1 year and 7 months. ‘Umbrella’ sat at #1 for 7 weeks in 2007. ‘Shut Up and Drive’ went to #15 the same year as well as ‘Hate That I Love You’ which went to #7. ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ went to #3 in 2008. ‘Take a Bow’ was #1 for a week. Her collaboration with Maroon 5 ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’ was at #51. Disturbia was #1 for 2 weeks and ‘Rehab’ is at #91 to date.
It looks like 50 Cent’s new album ‘Before I Self Destruct’ has lived up to its title. The record has went off only to self destruct. The CD has now been pushed back to 2009 without a specific release date being set. The record was originally set to come out in early December to hopefully capitalize on holiday buying but after the kickoff single tanked, it’s now getting kicked to the curb. I say we should blame Scott Storch for producing the embarrassment of a first single ‘Get Up’. The official reason being given for the album’s delay is that the rapper was rushing to meet the December date but that he opted to wait until next year to fully secure advertising and retail placement.
Britney opens up about Circus! Check out the brand new interview where the pop icon discusses everything from the “Womanizer” video concept to the difference between Circus and Blackout to her triple win at the VMAs. Be sure to tune into Britney: For The Record on November 30th at 10pm ET/PT on MTV.
Brandy has been spotted shooting a music video for her new single ‘Long Distance’. YouTube currently hosts an audio of the song. The 29-year old Grammy award winning singer is coming back with her first album since 2004 and it is set to debut on December 9. The album is called ‘Human’ and is said to be her most personal album to date. The collection of songs includes her hit single ‘Right Here (Departed)’ as well as the upcoming single ‘Long Distance’. Let’s hope that she gets back on track with this album and show us that she was worth giving a Grammy to.
It looks like some artists are trying to make a little extra cash this holiday season as Island Def Jam is pushing up the releases of three of its biggest artists – The Killer’s ‘Day & Age’, Ludacris’ ‘Theater of the Mind’ and Kanye West’s ‘808s & Heartbreak’. The albums were scheduled for release in both physical and digital formats on November 25th, Tuesday, but they will now be seeing a Monday the 24th release date. Each album has already proved promising with each shelling out a single in the top 40s. Kanye’s ‘Love Lockdown’ was at #3 on the Hot 100. The Killer’s ‘Human’ was #6 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Chart and Ludacris’ ‘One More Drink’ featuring T-Pain was at #34 on Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs.
I guess his album is living up to it’s name.
His new album, aptly named Before I Self Destruct, is now being pushed back to 2009. Way 2009! There’s not even a new release date set yet.
The album was originally scheduled to be released this year in December in the hopes of capitalizing on holiday buying. But right after the album’s debut single bombed in the charts, the Self Destruct is now getting kicked to the curb.
Fiddy should blame Scott Storch, who produced the shiteous first single, Get Up.
Britney Spears will be celebrating her twenty-seventh birthday this year with the release of her sixth studio album, Circus. The highly anticipated album set for a December 2nd release features the # 1 hit “Womanizer” as well as collaborations with Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Danja, Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Alanis Morissette) and more. Britney recently had a triple win at this year’s MTV VMAs. This year marks the 10th anniversary of her breakthrough debut Baby One More Time.

Eminem says that he has no desire for fame even though he’s making a new album called ‘Relapse’. The rapper says he doesn’t really want a comeback but that he just wants to remind people of how he raps. He says that he feels content with what he has accomplished thus far but he also admits that he like the attention, just not too much of it. Eminem says he’s excited to get back out there after collaborating with Dr. Dre for the past 5 months on brand new material.
The international superstar that is Rihanna is gearing up to extend her reign as queen of the charts by releasing her fourth album in 2009. Though she says the album is going in a more techno rock direction, it will have a couple of eclectic tracks. One of the three that she is writing completely on her own is going to be more punk rock. Of course, it’s going to be process through a pop lens. Just think of ‘Disturbia’ and not ‘Hate That I Love You’. Overall, Rihanna wants her next album to be edgier than ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’. It is also being said that she is in the process of synthesizing a new hotter look for herself.
MySpace has just unveiled the newest installment of their “Artist On Artist” series. Check out Chris Cornell and Timbaland as they talk about the hard-rock frontman’s upcoming album, Scream. The two musicians also talk about their first meeting, rock and hip-hop’s groovy origins and Chris shares that their collaboration is “the most album-oriented album” he’s over done!
The Timbaland produced album, Scream will be out in early 2009 on Mosley Music Group/Interscope Records
It seems that Eminem’s comeback is imminent as more reports keep surfacing that the rapper will have his new album out this year. During a recent appearance on Eminem’s Sirius XM satellite radio station, the rapper admitted that he’s been producing tracks for his Shady records artists as well as some stuff for himself. He said “I’m concentrating on my own stuff right now — just banging out tracks. The more I keep producing, the better it seems I get. I start knowing stuff, learning the boards like the back of my hands.” However, a rep for Interscope said that there’s no official release date yet and no single has been confirmed. Even 50 Cent said that we would be seeing Eminem soon. Let’s hope that he doesn’t bomb after all these years being gone from the scene.
