It’s been a slow week for the music industry, but still, we at BeatCrave managed to scrape up some worthy news from the depths of the internet. This week, Chris Brown is in the news again, not for his collaboration with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, but for stealing a woman’s phone. Adele also made headlines, and history, on the Billboard 200; and President Obama sang a tune at a recent fundraiser. All that and more, below.

Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, not officially as a couple – yet – but officially as a duet. Yesterday, the racy singer released, no one, but two remixes featuring her and the man who once treated her like a punching bag. We knew Chris Brown had lent his vocals for her song “Birthday Cake“, but what we didn’t know was that RiRi had also lent her vocals for Brown’s “Turn Up The Music”. Listen to both tracks below.

Adele‘s “Someone Like You” has enjoyed much success, from being on Top Charts around the world to the critical praise. But when Adele sat down to write this song, she probably didn’t have ‘Grammy’ on her mind – she was writing from her broken heart.

Flogging Molly’s fifth studio album, Speed of Darkness, on the band’s own label, Borstal Beat, shows the sham rock group haven’t slowed down for a second.

I woke up this morning in a little bit of a funk. I rolled out of bed, made a cup of peppermint tea and started to reflect a little bit on my past. Invariably, I was met with images of both positivity and negativity, some lovely and others heart wrenching. I checked my inbox, and found the video for Kill your Darlings, and, as I watched the visual interpretation of the melody, felt oddly at peace with my decisions in life.

Stephen Colbert did it, ladies and gentlemen. After promising fans that he would perform “Friday,” Rebecca Black’s “hit” tween-pop “song” on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” if his fellow TV host could raise a large enough donation, Colbert delivered on his promise last Friday night and took to the stage to belt out what has become one of the most inexplicably popular songs the Internet has given us this side of a Justin Bieber single.
He also happened to be joined by some very special guests. Read on to watch the performance for yourself…
