New Music: Ciara – “Swim” & “Be Out”
Singer Ciara finds herself in the best position of her career. Rihanna’s latest studio effort bricked, and Beyonce had to fake a pregnancy to boost interest in her fading career. Those two vacancies leaves the door open for Ciara to reclaim her dominance in the R&B/pop scene. Today, the 26-year-old budding superstar dropped two tracks from her upcoming as-yet-untitled album on Epic records titled “Swim” and “Be Out”. The latter track is album filler, but “Swim” boasts a catchy, upbeat track that should appeal to her teeny bopper audience. Welcome back Ciara!

Sneak Peek: Cassie – King of Hearts
Bad Boy/Interscope Records released the official trailer for Cassie’s long-awaited single titled “King Of Hearts”. Lol, I’m joking about the ‘long-awaited’ part. She’s still trying. Bless her heart. The video looks like a teenage boy’s wet dream. This blogger put it best when he wrote: “This looks like a commercial for a new Trojan Condom.”
Teairra Mari: U Did Dat
Love & Hip Hop’s newest cast member Teairra Mari has just released another smash hit to coincide with her 24th birthday entitled “U Did Dat”. The single was written and produced by Rico Love, and co-produced by D-Town. With all that fire power on production, and T. Error’s powerful vocals, it’s bound to be a smash hit, right?
In addition to her acting duties on VH1′s Love & Hip Hop, Teairra Mari also has a role in the movie ‘Mac & Devin Go To High School,’ starring Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa. The movie is set for a 2012 release.

Rihanna’s ‘Talk That Talk’ On Pace to Sell 200K
It looks like Rihanna’s latest studio effort is on its way to tanking big time. Compared to Drake’s 1st week sales of 659K for his 2nd album, Take Care, RiRi’s Talk That Talk is only expected to sell 180-200K in the first week.
That has to be a major disappointment for the Bajan superstar who has over 9 million followers on Twitter.com.
According to HITS Daily Double, the pop princess’ latest Talk That Talk, featuring the chart-topping single “We Found Love,” is on track to sell 180-200,000 copies in its first week based on early estimates. Her previous effort LOUD opened with 207,000 in November 2010.
Mary J. Blige will also return to the charts with My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act I). The sequel to her 1994 classic My Life is poised to move 120-140,000 units in week one. The R&B veteran’s 2009 album Stronger withEach Tear debuted at No. 2 with 332,000. Source
