Beyonce "Year of 4"


As expected, Beyoncé’s fourth solo studio album, “4,” bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 310,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.

It’s the diva’s fourth solo No. 1 – and fourth studio set to top the list. She’s only the third act – and second woman – to see their first four studio albums debut atop the Billboard 200. Britney Spears did it with her first four between 1999 and 2003 while DMX’s first five all started at No. 1 between 1998 and 2003

“4′s” sales launch is lowest of her four releases: 2008′s “I Am … Sasha Fierce” entered with 482,000; 2006′s “B’Day” bowed with 541,000 and 2003′s “Dangerously In Love” started with 317,000.

Of course, “4″ is thus far lacking a smash hit single, which could help explain the album’s softer entry. Its lead track, “Run the World (Girls),” peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 – the first time the first single from a Beyoncé studio set has missed the top 10.

Still, “4′s” bow is pretty big for 2011. It marks the third-largest sales week of the year, after the No. 1 bows of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” (1.1 million) and Adele’s “21″ (351,000).

Coachella 2011 Set

Kanye West Coachella 2011 Part 1 from Dat New Row on Vimeo.

Kanye West closed out Coachella with one of the most theatrical sets ever witnessed in the festival's history. The opening of his Coachella performance took his art and showmanship to a whole new level. Kanye started his set by singing “Dark Fantasy” as he flew over the ignited audience on a futuristic crane while a throng of modern dancers went wild on stage. He then worked his way through the crowd and made it to stage. The rap superstar went into some of his biggest hits including “Jesus Walks” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothin.” When it was time to perform “Monster,” Kanye brought out one of his collaborators, Bon Iver. The true showman ended the night in style by performing almost all of his hits including “Love Lockdown,” “Heartless” and “All of the Lights” among fireworks. Definitely an adequate way to wrap up the festival. See for yourself.

Yesterday, Wiz Khalifa graced the stage in Indio, California for his first-ever performance at Coachella. Although he was not one of the festival's headliners, the crowd was packed to see the Pittsburgh rapper's 50-minute set. In it, he performed songs from fan-favorite mixtapes including Burn After Rolling and Kush & Orange Juice, as well as material off of his brand new album, Rolling Papers. Also, Wiz dedicated part of his set to none other than the late great West Coast representer Nate Dogg. Check out the performance above!

The Coachella frenzy does not stop as another live set has found its way to the digital realm. This time around, the performance of the Distant Relatives Nas and Damien Marley can be watched in its entirety. They performed hit after hit on Sunday afternoon in what was the only unique combination of rap, hip-hop and reggae in Indio, California last weekend. In addition, the youngest son of Bob Marley turned in some of his father's famed songs as well as other covers which had been well-received by the crowd. Enjoy!

3D Portrait-Andrew Myers








Thousands of screws make a 3d portrait, by artist Andrew Myers.
He draws out a face and pre-drills 8,000 to 10,000 holes, by hand. As he drills in the screws, Myers doesn't rely on any computer software to guide him, he figures it out as he goes along. "For me, I consider this a traditional sculpture and all my screws are at different depths," he says.
