Congratulations to Rihanna as she scores her third consecutive album in three years (fourth altogether)!! Her #1 'Unapologetic' album which sold almost 100,000 copies follows in the footsteps of her previous number one efforts, 2010's LOUD and last year's Talk That Talk meaning that she is now equaled to Madonna's chart record for 'female artist with the most consecutive Number 1 albums' which is also being achieve by the the likes of Eva Cassidy, Avril Lavigne, Nora Jones and Susan Boyle.

In other relative news, Little Mix debut at number 3 whilst fellow X Factor alumni One Direction drop one place to number 2.

Performance: X Factor Week 7

Twitter shut the fuck down (!!) last night after it was announced that Ella & James Arthur, X Factor's favorable contestants would be battling out for a place in the quarter finals. It was a tough decision but James Arthur won the majority after it went to deadlock but Ella seemed to be 'grateful' since many previous acts had more success than the winners themselves (smart thinking Ella =)).

Anywhoo, here were last night's performances by ex-X Factor finalist Olly Murs & R&B Singer Alicia Keys (updated ASAP):

iTunes Festival 2012!!

For those who are clueless about this musical event, the iTunes Festival sponsored by Apple is where a selection of musicians perform at the iconic Camden Roundhouse, North London for a specific day during a specific month, last year being July and this year being September. Artists from Amy Winehouse, Kanye West to Adele have all had the opportunity to perform at one of the largest London musical events.

You can select more than one you choose to see and you must be over 14 to enter.
Results of the prize draw are revealed a week before the artist performs but if unlucky you can still witness your fav. via  iTunes on your PC, iPad/Phone or Apple TV using AirPlay!!!

Performance: T in the Park + Wireless Festival

Yesterday two of UK's biggest festivals came to an end, London's Wireless Festival and T in The Park. I had the chance to attend the Wireless Festival on Saturday where Canadian rapper Drake was headlining. It was a decent show but I preferred Hackney Weekend =D. Anyways straight to the point, below you may watch some performances from both festivals from a selection of artists that range from Jessie J to Emeli Sande.
