After a preview of the Beyoncé new Pepsi commercial — and for a fortunate few, a debut during the Paris leg of Bey’s The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour – the full-length of Grown Woman is now available for our streaming pleasure. Produced by hit producer Timbaland and co-written by The-Dream, the tribal-esque single merges contemporary pop motifs with world music sensibility. Funky, energetic with odes of feminist vibrations, the single will no doubt fill dance floors in the months to come. No news as to where the track will end up but it’ll most likely appear on her forthcoming untitled fifth solo LP. Stay tuned.

Last week, Drake revealed that two records were coming this week. We got the first one earlier (DJ Khaled’s No New Friends), now here’s the R&B cut, Girls Love Beyoncé, with James Fauntleroy. The slow melodic offering finds the Toronto artist cleverly implementing Destiny Child’s “Say My Name” as singer/songwriter Fauntleroy comes through with a piercing hook. Produced by Noah “40″ Shebib, the song was first performed back at last year’s OVO Fest in Toronto.

Remember Drake? Of course you do. Started From the Bottom, which just dropped February 6th, has already sold one million copies as of this week. It is Drake's eighth song to go platinum; his first was 2009's Best I Ever Had. Drake also has four Gold-selling singles.This week, his last album, Take Care, also moved 4,700 copies, pushing it into double-platinum territory. The record has sold 2 million copies since its released in November 2011. Drake's debut LP Thank Me Later stands at around 1.8 million in sales, not quite as successful as its successor. Drake's third studio album — "Started From the Bottom" was its lead single—is entitled Nothing Was the Same. It doesn't have a release date as of yet.
