Announcement: SHUTDOWN!!

All this work overload has gotten to me, so I decided to make some sacrifices to (hopefully) reduce the stress that has fallen upon over the past few weeks. After a fun and amazing 8 months of blogging, I've made a decision to put it to an end to focus on other things.

I won't close this blog immediately, oh no, probably some time in December if not the end of the year.

So yeah, just thought I should mention this. =)

DECEMBER 10TH 18:00!!

Announcement: Nicki Minaj states her next singles

Moving away from the whatever happened this past weekend, Nicki Minaj gave her fans the chance to choose her next single(s) on her website and after calculating up all the votes, it has been concluded that both Pound The Alarm and Champion will be her next singles to be released of her sophomore album which apparently just reached GOLD status (500k in the US). She stated that Champion will her next urban single so she can keep up with the few fans she has lurking in that area and Pound The Alarm is obviously for her pop fans and a high chart position.

Pound The Alarm would be released next month (July 2nd) and the corresponding music video would premiere in the next fortnight or so. No information on the Champion single has been released yet.
