29th November 2010 – the date of the last Eargasms post, a weekly post which I started during the first week of Y&Y‘s launch. I had to give it up as the post took 3-4 hours to construct and I just didnt’t have that time any more with university so the post series was eventually locked away into the Y&Y b. It’s time to wipe off the dust and bring it back in a new format. 5 of our favourite songs from the week, each song hand picked by a member of the family. Let’s get things started then, hop on after the cut.

It was in 2005 when I read a story on the MTV website about Jay Z signing Ne-yo, Teairra Mari, and Rihanna. Rihanna, Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, she was 17 years old when introduced to Jay-Z. At first thought, Jigga was not so sure on singing the Barbados singer, after hearing ‘Pon De Replay‘. Jay Z told MTV “I was like, that song is too big for her,” he said. “When a song is that big, it’s hard [for a new artist] to come back from. I don’t sign songs, I sign artists. Some people chase the hot song for a minute. I want to sign an artist based on a swagger, the level of talent, the writing. I was a little reluctant.

Monday has rolled around again so that can only mean one of two things. 1 its the start of us all thinking ‘I can’t wait until its Friday’ and 2 its time for Music News Monday. This week I have kept it very simple, short and Sweet. Jessie J, Kim Kardashian, Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo and a little something from Sam Sparrow make up this weeks round up, enjoy.

Today is the start of the week which usually brings in the highest sales volume of any week mainly due to the American tradition that is Black Friday. This year sees a huge clash of the titans in the music industry and we want to know who you think will win the big race. Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Ne-Yo and Lloyd Banks all have their eyes set on the #1 slot by the end of the week but with so many albums to choose from who will end the week with the highest sales figures? Most see the race between Minaj and her Pink Friday against Kanye and his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy but it is important that those supporting them should not underestimate a certain Mr Bieber. I have a sneaky feeling that he will beat them to the post in an unexpected turn of events. Have your say and let us know who you think will triumph.

There aren’t many songs in this week’s post, It’s definitely been a slow week for leaks. I do have Eminem‘s new album though and it is fire, none of the weird voice ish from Marshall Mathers on this album. After the cut for a few songs off the album and plenty more.

I think I wrote the last Eargasms almost 3 weeks ago! It’s been a while and I’ve got a lot of good new music. Obviously only that tracks I like, the rest have been placed in the recycle bin. I’ll kick start this week’s post with a track off Step Up 3D by Trey Songz, you know what to do.

Time for the first eargasms post of this new decade, I want to make it special but don’t really have much new music this week unfortunately. Mainly because of the festive period so not many songs have been leaking. I’m gonna start things off with a new track from a chick called Shannell/SNL, apparently she’s signed to Young Money? I thought Nicki Minaj was the only female in the crew. After the cut for links and more.
