Beyoncé, who is gearing up to release her presently untitled fourth studio album, is being honored with 2011′s Billboard Millennium Award. Her career has spanned over the past 15 years, starting off with the largest selling girl group of all time, Destiny’s Child, and being awarded 16 Grammy’s throughout.
She will be honored May 22nd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for the Billboard Awards, where artists like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Cee-Lo Green, and the Black Eyed Peas will also take the stage. The show will be hosted by Ken Jeong.
Lady Gaga just released the video for her second single, “Judas” days ago, and she is already giving us her third single, “Edge of Glory.” The track is lifted from Gaga’s third studio album, Born This Way, which is slated to hit stores and online May 23rd.
“Edge of Glory” is already available for purchase on iTunes.
Do you remember the artist formerly known as Kevin Michael? Well, he’s back with his new band THEY, a crafty acronym standing for THE YOUTH. Check out the newest addition to their catalog with the track, “FatBack,” a sexy, summertime synth ode to a woman’s rear end, which will appear on THEY’s upcoming EP, tentatively titled THEY are COMING, which will drop just in time for the summer.
The second taste K gives us is “Freak,” a more aggressive Rick James-esque track, a little more straight-forward than his last track, “Areola,” that we posted months ago. Either way, the EP is shaping up to be what THEY describes as “drenched Euro-synth, ’80′s funk and tons of electro love.“ Look for more this summer.
