Why is Fergie on the Great Gatsby soundtrack you ask? Well, Jay-Z put her there. Jay's been in the news so much lately you could almost convince me it's 2001. At least this time it's for production of a huge dance track and not a trip to Cuba. This combination of old and new is quite the interesting one. Though I'm not surprised to find Q-Tip , A Tribe Called Quest alum, on this soundtrack, I am surprised to see him on a crazy upbeat track like this one. When I think Q, I [...]
When it was first announced that Jay-Z would be executive producing the soundtrack for The Great Gatsby , we knew big things were to follow. There's no way we could have ever expected this though. The tracklist alone was enough to get us salivating, but now we have a real sample with "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)." Featuring the odd trio of Fergie , Q-Tip and GoonRock , the dance floor ready number effectively merges jazz age sensibilities with modern flare. The song exemplifies what's already been exhibited [...]

New song from The Great Gatsby soundtrack "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" performed by Fergie, Q-Tip and GoonRock. Soundtrack drops May 7th. Movie opens May 10th. via RS
The first official track from The Great Gatsby soundtrack has dropped entitled “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)” and it's the unlikely collaboration between Fergie, Q-Tip and GoonRock. Props to Fergie for turning her pop-ready vocals into some sultry, jazz era chops, even if they're juxtaposed against some club music elements and she dips back down into Black Eyed Peas talk-singing later on in the track. Overall this song seems like a good reflection of the movie so far—an attempt to marry old world sensibilities with the realities of 2013. Stream the [...]
I never imagined that I'd be posting music from GoonRock and Fergie on here, but here we are. You can blame Q-Tip , as we'll always share his latest tracks and he's featured somewhat prominently on "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)". To be fair to The Great Gatsby soundtrack cut, it does have some some slick saxophone elements and Tip sounds like he's having fun. But the majority of "A Little Party" is explosive synthesizers, hand claps, and everything else you'd imagine from a song with that title. Listen below. [...]

Rihanna - Talk That Talk Adele is still an unstoppable force all across the Billboard charts this week. Her sophomore album, 21, just reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and the set's second single, "Someone Like You," clocks its fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Adele - Wireimage Billboard passed on making Adele their 2011 Woman of the Year - that honor goes to Taylor Swift - but does it matter? She continues to slay on their charts. Adele's "Someone Like You" stays put at No. 1 this week on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making it the track's third overall week atop the summit.

LMFAO - Wireimage The top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 is a sexier place this week thanks to LMFAO 's new single, "Sexy And I Know It," rocketing into it. The party-rocking duo's campy track blasts from 25-10 this week on the strength of 139,000 downloads, Billboard reports . Their hilarious performance of the track on the Dancing With The Stars results show last week may have played a hand in why fans are buying up the single like hotcakes. Watch: LMFAO perform [...]
Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera - Getty Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera have got the "Moves Like Jagger," but they're not moving anywhere on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. M5 and Xtina's sexy, dancefloor-scorcher sits at No. 1 on the chart for a third nonconsecutive week. But the girl who once before bumped them from the top spot could be coming back to reclaim that glory. Adele 's "Someone Like You" stays put behind the bunch at No. 2, but grabs the coveted airplay gainer honor, [...]

Adele - Wireimage Last week's MTV Video Music Awards has caused a shake up on this week's Billboard Hot 100, starting with the top spot. Thanks to Adele 's much-lauded performance of her new single, "Someone Like You," the track rockets to No. 1, bumping Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera 's "Moves Like Jagger," which occupied the top spot for one week. "Someone Like You" earns the British soul songstress her second No. 1 single, following the ubiquitous "Rolling In The Deep," both from her current [...]
Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera - Getty It's Adam Levine 's world and all the other artists are just living in it on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this week, as hits featuring the pop star bookend the top 10. Levine shimmies in front of Katy Perry 's "Last Friday Night" this week with Maroon 5 as "Moves Like Jagger," the band's catchy pop jam featuring Christina Aguilera , moves from No. 4 to No. 1 on the strength of growing airplay and digital downloads. ( [...]
Drake and Lil Wayne - Wireimage For a second week in a row, Katy Perry is basking in the glow of being No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with her latest hit, "Last Friday Night (TGIF)," but if Lil Wayne has anything to say about it, it won't be this way for long. Weezy's new single, "She Will," makes this week's top debut, exploding onto the chart at No. 3, Billboard reports. The track, which features fellow Young Money fella, Drake , sold a whopping 255,000 [...]
Demi Lovato Sometimes trying times can produce great things. Demi Lovato 's new single, "Skyscraper," is a prime example. The track, which a post-rehab Lovato released to speak of her journey and inspire others, becomes her highest-charting debut on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, starting at No. 10. "Skyscraper" gets its monster start after selling 176,000 digital copies, Billboard reports. While Demi settles in at one end of the Hot 1002s top 10, the other is still occupied by LMFAO . The hip-poppers earn their third straight [...]

The DJ duo's new single, "Party Rock Anthem," has grabbed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this week. "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock , ends the one-week chart reign of Pitbull and Ne-Yo 's "Give Me Everything," which is bumped to No. 2 this week. New to the top 10 this week are OneRepublic 's [...]
Pitbull Pitbull has kept fans dancing for years, but surprisingly, he's never landed a No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart...until now. The Miami party-starter scores his first chart-topper with his new feel-good anthem, "Give Me Everything," featuring Ne-Yo, AfroJack and Nayer . "Give Me Everything," from Pit's new album, Planet Pit , ends the seven-week reign of Adele 's "Rolling In The Deep," which slips to No. 2 this week on the chart. New this week to the [...]
photo cred: Swoop Magazine - "Work Hard, Play Often" My apologies for missing the Friday deadline for the "Friday Six Pack" once again. The good thing is, when I miss a few days on the FSP, it gives me more time to find new music for you all to put on your shit faces and [...]
Katy Perry - Capitol Records Five singles in and the hot streak for Katy Perry 's sophomore album, Teenage Dream , isn't over yet.

"Friday" rockets up the chart from 31-4 this week on the strength of growing airplay at radio and 235,000 digital copies sold last week. Katy can thank [...]
