She changed the first single in the span of one day, and it looks like the album has been pushed back.

Chris Brown was involved in an all-out brawl with Frank Ocean Sunday night, and sources connected with Chris insist Ocean started it.

Chris was at Westlake Studio in the L.A. area listening one of of the artists he represents. The sources say as Chris went to leave, Frank Ocean and his crew blocked Chris from leaving. The sources say Frank said, "This is my studio, this is my parking spot."

We're told Chris went to shake Frank's hand ... and that's when one of Frank's people attacked Chris. Sources connected with Chris say one of Chris' friends jumped in front and hit Frank's friend.

Sources connected with Chris say Frank then came at Chris ... Chris pushed him away and they started brawling.

The police were called and are one scene now.

Sis, where have U been!?

Chris and Frank got into a brawl at the studio last night. Chris is saying Frank started it, Frank is saying Chris started it.

I don't really care HEW started it. Chris is going to take heat either way because of his reputation. Deservedly.

Apparently neither of them are going to press charges. With the injury Frank sustained during the "brawl," I expect an even worse performance during the grammys than at the VMAs. However, the confirmation of a performance pretty much means he will win some grammys that night.

I guess all the fake Francis stans will have something to celebrate after all.

What's with the hate for Frank Ocean? Not that it's the first time that the gays needlessly hated on gay celebrities for no reason. It still counts as homophobia gworls.

I knew about the airplay rule change, but I didn't know about this side effect:
In the mid 90s, many songs were commercially released as singles after airplay was given a chance to grow to its maximum potential. This allowed songs to enter the Hot 100 at the top, a feat unheard of before 1995. Ten songs were able to do this, but after this change to the Hot 100, only ten singles (from four American Idol participants, Britney Spears, Eminem, Kesha, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry) have debuted at number one since.

#1 debuts
Michael Jackson — "You Are Not Alone" (September 2, 1995)
Mariah Carey — "Fantasy" (September 30, 1995)
Whitney Houston — "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" (November 25, 1995)
Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men — "One Sweet Day" (December 2, 1995)
Puff Daddy and Faith Evans featuring 112 — "I'll Be Missing You" (June 14, 1997)
Mariah Carey — "Honey" (September 13, 1997)
Elton John — "Candle in the Wind 1997" / "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" (October 11, 1997)
Céline Dion — "My Heart Will Go On" (February 28, 1998)
Aerosmith — "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" (September 5, 1998)
Lauryn Hill — "Doo Wop (That Thing)" (November 14, 1998)

So while that wouldn't work under today's rules, the strategy could still be used to propel a song to a higher peak than it would naturally attain (RCA, are you taking notes?).
Though it would result in a slight loss of overall sales.

With the rise of digital sales and streaming now being a part of the formula I think debut's at #1 are going to become far more common for established acts.

Adding singles sales to the formula was rather controversial at the time because it involved buying a single disc with only a song or two or three on it. Now that singles are SO dominant the system makes far more sense.

Omg, apparently Lana is back in the studio recording her new album. She's working with Rick Nowels, the man who produced American, Body Electric, Cola and some others.

I don't understand... wouldn't they still chart regardless of them not being commercially released as singles?
Click to expand...

Before December 1998, a song couldn't chart on the Hot 100 unless a physical single was released.
"Don't Speak," "Lovefool," "Torn," "Iris," "Men In Black," probably missed out on #1s because of this, and a few others missed the top 5/10.

Of course, labels are still having problems getting the most out of the current ruleset by not releasing songs for streaming. (IKYWT)

I just think he's overrated, his album overhyped, and that he gets a lot of undue press for using his come-out for promo. I also think that this has allowed the media to portray the urban community as more savage towards the gay community than it actually is (not to say that there isn't work to be done bringing the urban community up to speed, but the "poor brave Francis for coming out in such a violent community" articles were a bit much).

That being said ............he could still smash.

Quick, sistrens, I need an album to listen to at work. I'm really bored with my own playlist at the moment. ;______;

It needs to not-so-explicit.

Preferably R&B and/or Rhythmic Pop.

1/2 chance that artp0p will be mostly anti-dynamic edmpop
1/4 chance that arTpop will be better than Born This Way
1/30 chance that a&rtpop will make me put my stan card back in my wallet again
1/1000 chance that artpoPp will come out before the 2-year anniversary of Gaga having a top 10 hit in the US.

speaking of which, gaga said she will "take over the world with ARTPOP." bold statement, but doesn't sound AS pretentious as "best album of the decade"

Lowering her standards, just like her stans.
