Xtina Announces New Single's Title

Christina Aguilera is plotting a massive comeback in 2012 and she’s just confirmed what her new single will be called!

Let the X-Tina comeback begin! Christina Aguilera will be releasing her 5th album in 2012 with a new single dropping next month!

While the album is still untitled, we now know the first single will be called “Love Your Body.” That’s the clean, radio edit name. In typical X-Tina Dirrty fashion, the actual title does not include the word “Love” if you know what I mean.

This times out perfectly as her show, The Voice, also is making its return with the new season early next year. You KNOW she’ll be performing this on the show. It worked for Maroon 5‘s Moves Like Jagger, I’m sure Christina is hoping for the same result for her new song.

Rumored (and likely fake) Madonna tracklist

Purported image of track list for Madonna‘s upcoming new album. This image, emblazoned with Interscope and Live Nation logos, also claims that the title of Maddy‘s new album is LUV. Now … take all of this information with a huge grain of salt. The photo you can see below showed up on a random Tumblr site and then was unsurprisingly taken offline.

Blur to perform at 2012 Brit Awards

Bassist Alex James confirms the band will play after receiving outstanding contribution to music award

Blur have confirmed they will perform at the 2012 Brit awards. The group will celebrate their outstanding contribution to music trophy by playing their first gig since 2009, bassist Alex James has revealed. "We're going to play, which is brilliant," he said. "It's like putting the Blues Brothers back together."

It has been two weeks since plans were announced to honour Blur at the Brit awards in February. But the band remained evasive about whether they would perform; although James, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Dave Rowntree have often met up, and even recorded together, they haven't played live since closing 2009's T in the Park.

James has now put speculation to rest. Thanks to the Brits announcement, he said, "we all remembered how much we loved being a band.

"I saw the guys this week, we had a Christmas cuppa … I had always said in interviews I didn't miss being in a band, but that reminded me I did."

James also fanned the flames of a future Blur tour. "Well, let's hope," he said. "Heritage year next year." Albarn has previously hinted at a possible visit to the US, pointing out the reunited Blur never crossed the Atlantic. "Who knows what will happen," James said, "but there is a lot to look forward to."

Previous winners of the outstanding contribution to music prize include Paul McCartney, U2, Queen and the Who.

The-Dream: "I Won’t Be Producing Ciara’s New Album"

As Ciara plots her chart return, all eyes are on who the singer has enlisted to craft her comeback effort. One such figure many hope not to see is hitmaker The-Dream. Ironic, it would seem, as a ‘hit’ is exactly what the 25 year old’s career is in dire need of.

Yet, meaty combo of their patchy output and Dream’s detrimental comments, have left many a Ms. Harris fan with a salty taste in their mouth when it comes to the producer – real name Terius Nash.

A taste they won’t to worry about much longer, though. For, the ‘Single Ladies’ mastermind has revealed that he will not be contributing to Super C’s Epic Records debut – in any capacity.

Brandy is in the studio with Frank Ocean

Brandy is working on her sixth studio effort and has recruited hotter-than-hot artist Frank Ocean. Brandy said the pair has "great chemistry." She said, "We both understand music in the same ways," according to BET.

She further stated, "To work with him on this album was great as well, and I hope I can get in [the studio] with him some more because his music is just so moving; I'm inspired by him. I think he's a great artist and he hasn't even touched on what he will touch on in the future."

Brandy's latest will drop in March 2012.

Are you looking forward to Brandy's latest?

Foo Fighters confirm plans to write new album in 2012

Foo Fighters have confirmed they are planning to head into the studio to record a new album in 2012.

The band only released their latest studio effort 'Wasting Light' in April of this year and frontman Dave Grohl has revealed on the band's official blog he has already started compiling ideas for new songs.

He wrote: We're not finished yet. There are still more shows to play, more songs to write, more albums to record, for years to come. I mean if you would have told me 17 years ago that in 2012 I would be writing songs for our eighth studio album...well.

Foo Fighters were recently nominated for six gongs including Album Of The Year for 'Wasting Light' at next year's 54th annual Grammy Awards on February 12, 2012.

Grohl added: "The fact that a rock and roll record, made in a garage, completely analogue to tape with no help from computers, could be a Number One album around the world, and get a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year... well... these days that's no small feat.

"It's truly inspiring, and it makes us feel like the luckiest band in the world. So thanks. It means everything to us."

Other nominees include Kanye West, Adele and Mumford and Sons.

New Ashlee Simpson music scheduled for Spring 2012

Well, the story goes like this: Rich Baxter is a die-hard Ashlee Simpson fan and he got the chance to attend the launch of the “Jessica Simpson Girls” Collection on December 03, 2011 in Toronto, Canada where he was able to talk a little bit with the Simpson siters. He asked Ashlee about new music, and she told him that we are going to be hearing new Ashlee Simpson tunes on Spring 2012! That’s just arround the corner!

The album is coming out in the spring and she’ll have something for us by March. It has grown a lot from what she previous was talking about. No more folk or anything like that…she described it as a british vibe dancer feel-good but not all the way dancey she said it is NOT like Bittersweet World, she said that I will really like it. Jessica said its really good, she heard it and Ashlee has already played it for her publicist.

I asked how much was done and she just kept saying she keeps writing and recording. Shes going to the studio this week to record with “The Stereotyoes” (I’m not sure who they are) and she has been working with JOHN! She seemed very confident in the material and kept reassuring me that i will really like it. I asked if it was like Florence and The Machine like she previous told me she said no not at all and its nothing like her old stuff.

Looks like were getting a whole new thing! She seemed very happy about the project and as happy to share with me. She def said spring so im assuming single in march but this is just me guessing.

Janelle Monae returned to her hometown of Kansas City, Kan., on Friday to visit her family and to appear with Kansas City Mayor Sly James at the Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at Crown Center on Friday night. Before a pre-ceremony reception in the American Restaurant, she met with members of the local media. Here's what she had to say during our brief interview:

Ke$ha Gets ‘Sleazier’ with Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., & André 3000

Lady Gaga already planning third album

Lady Gaga is perhaps the busiest monster of them all. Just six months after dropping her chart-topping Born This Way, the Mother Monster is already hard at work on its follow-up.

"I've started writing it and I have the name for it and all the concepts are beginning to flourish and take place," she told MTV News at Jingle Ball in Los Angeles, where she also talked about her Grammy nods and "Marry the Night" video. "I'm excited to put it out, but it's not done yet. So I'll put it out when it's done."

BTW contributor Fernando Garibay recently stopped by the MTV News offices in Santa Monica, California, and shared the vision he has in mind for Gaga's next release.

"I get a little bit of anxiety thinking about that right now," the producer said of plans for the album. "I wanna just always try to outdo ourselves, our songs.

"They're already incredible songs. But I feel like she's so young," he said, adding that the record is in its early stages and that "there's a lot of room to grow."

While Gaga will hit the road on the Born This Way Tour next year, Garibay said that won't halt the recording process. "The last record we made in bus stops and hotel rooms," he said. "Wherever she's at, we'll make it."

However the recording schedule pans out, Garibay knows he and Gaga will continue experimenting with new sounds. "She's the perfect platform for me to express myself," he said. "You can do stuff with her that you can't do with anybody else. It's amazing."

Taylor Swift Talks New Album and a Possible Duet With Nicki Minaj

Well known for using her music to narrate her personal experiences including her past love life with some of the Hollywood hunks, Taylor Swift is expected to continue pouring her heart out in her next studio installment. The question is what kind of story the country music cutie is going to tell this time around.

"I can't tell you, because it's a secret," she told MTV News recently. "It will be unveiled when it all comes out, because they all seem to have a theme to them, the records that we've put out so far, and this one is no different. It's very different in what it's about, but it's no different in the fact that it has its own name."

Talking about a possible collaboration, Swift would love to craft a duet with Nicki Minaj although she rarely has a featured guest in her albums. "I mean, we're not working on anything right now, but I would love to at some point. That would be amazing," she stated. The joint track, if it comes to fruition, could also be a material for the femcee's "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded".

"I love her," Swift gushed about the Young Money rapper. "One of my favorite moments of the tour was when she came out at the Staples Center and sang 'Super Bass' with me, which was, like, the coolest thing. It was like a dream come true, so it's amazing to get to run into her and see her around, and I'm just such a fan."
