Sade ft. Jay-Z "The Moon and The Sky (Remix)" [MUSIC]

"The Door is always open, but our window is always closed..."

The opening gem from Sade's critically acclaimed album "Soldier of Love" has now manifested itself into a suave remix accompanied by Jay-z and OVO's Noah "40" Shebib on the boards. Expect the sultry ballad to be featured as one of three brand new records within Sade's greatest hits entitled"The Ultimate Collection" due May 3rd.

Kanye West grabs All-Star cast for "All of The Lights Remix" [NOTES]

I guess Mr.West is bringing back aboard Drake (Ghetto University) as well as G.O.O.D. Music signee Big Sean for the official remix of Epilepsy's arch nemesis "All of The Lights". Expect some major names in addition...obviously sans Fergie.

Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 Albums of The Decade [NEWS]

Kanye has been crowned victorious as having the top album of the decade with 2004's College Dropout (by Entertainment Weekly anyway), though I'd imagine he'd already known that in back in1999. The Entertainment Weekly list, in my opinion has some misses...but I suppose when taking into consideration the zeitgeist of the time it's pretty close...the list is as follows:

1. The College Dropout, Kanye West (2004)
2. The Blueprint, Jay-Z (2001)
3. Kid A, Radiohead (2000)
4. Stankonia, OutKast (2000)
5. Love And Theft, Bob Dylan (2001)
6. Home, The Dixie Chicks (2002)
7. Funeral, The Arcade Fire (2004)
8. I Am… Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé (2008)
9. FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake, (2006)
10. You Are Free, Cat Power (2003)

I have substitutions...but I am unsure how I'll order them, so I'll list them in alphabetical order...here it goes:

A Rush of Blood to the Head, Coldplay (2003)
Confessions, Usher (2004)
Elephant, The White Stripes (2003)
FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake (2006)
Get Rich or Die Tryin', 50 Cent (2003)
Is This It, The Strokes (2001)
Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 (2002)
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, OutKast (2003)
The Blueprint, Jay-Z (2001)
The College Dropout, Kanye West (2004)

Kings of Leon x Surface To Air [FASHION]

Kings of Leon has decided to use somebody (yeah...sue me) to help usher them into the fashion world. That somebody is Surface to Air, for which the colloboration has brought about a collection of flannel, leather, and denim pieces that seems to fit just right the Tennessee band's brand. The family of musicians -- the band consists of three brothers and their cousin -- is teaming with Paris-based creative collective to create a limited-edition collection that will retail exclusively at uber-chic Copenhagen boutique Paris Texas.

“Fame Kills" Tour Starring Kanye West & Lady Gaga [CONCERT]

Kanye did mention that he'd be taking break on Leno. And after the endless graphics, the president calling him a jackass for the Taylor Swift hoopla...I'd hope everything will be water under the bridge by November 10th, where things will undoubtedly get berserk with him and Lady Gaga together in the same arena...one way or another.

Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" 71-week Chart Run Makes History [MUSIC]

Mr. M-R-A-Zeee!

I stumbled upon this Jason Mraz a few years back after reading an article about the pop pioneer, and have been a fan since the first song I heard; "Curbside Prophet". Fast forward and most of you have undoubtedly heard the infectious "I'm Yours" perhaps seen the video?

The geeky crooner has gone on to make history his story...and I have a few friends (one in particular...JB!) who will be delighted with this news.

AP NEW YORK — Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" has had the longest run on any song in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The tune has spent 71 weeks on Billboard singles chart. It first charted in May 2008.

Mraz's hippie-friendly jam has been around even longer. He has played it on tour for five years and says fans at live shows always responded differently to it – and that inspired him to release the song.

The 32-year-old has spent the last two years on the road promoting his latest CD, the platinum-selling "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things." That time on tour has been documented to "Jason Mraz' Beautiful Mess - Live from Earth," a live CD/DVD out Nov. 10.

The previous record-holder was LeAnn Rimes' late-1990s hit, "How Do I Live." It lasted 69 weeks.
