One music diva has finally named her new album while another is the “most viewed” on YouTube and hip hop is hitting the road. Get caught up in the latest music buzz!
Former American Idol judge Mariah Carey has a new album coming out but didn’t have a title for the project until now. According to Global Grind, Mimi’s new album name is The Art of Letting Go. The album features Carey’s latest hit single “Beautiful” with Miguel. Although it has not been confirmed by the diva herself, the news is music to our ears and we’re totally looking forward to its debut on July 23.
Congratulations to Rihanna who has surpassed Justin Bieber as the most-viewed artist on YouTube. According to THR, RiRI‘s official VEVO channel, which contains 77 videos, now has a combined total of 3.784 billion views beating out Justin’s official VEVO channel, by just over two million views.
Rihanna’s larger subscription base is credited as the reason for her victory. Apparently, she has 8.73 million while Justin averages around 4.9 million. She also lead’s Bieber in Facebook “likes” too. Both artists are in good company and join a small band of others breaking records on social media including Lady Gaga and Eminem.
