Michael Jackson was preparing a spectacular comeback just days before he died unexpected on June 25. He had poured his soul into putting together the best show possible for fans attending his sold out “This Is It” 50 show residency at London’s O2 arena.

Sadly, they will never get to see the legend hit that stage, but thanks to concert promoter AEG we can all see a bit of what the show would have been like from MJ’s final tour rehearsal recorded just two days before he died.

In the bittersweet clip aired by CNN, Michael and his dancers run through “They Don’t Really Care About Us” from his “HIStory: Past, Present, and Future” album. Even though the clip is short, you can see the show was going to be a great one.

The Black Eyed Peas are still on the top of the charts, but this week “Boom Boom Pow“’s reign has ended.

The Peas’ second single, “I Got A Feeling,” from their new album, The E.N.D., rises 2-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 to end Pow’s 11-week run at No. 1.

Feeling is Billboard’s top airplay gainer at radio and also sold a whopping 203,000 digital downloads.

Elsewhere in the top ten, Linkin Park rockets 30-9 with their new single “New Divide” from the Transformers 2 soundtrack, and Katy Perry scores her third Hot 100 top ten hit with “Waking Up In Vegas” at No. 10.

This week’s top ten singles according to Billboard:

1. Black Eyed Peas - I Got A Feeling
2. Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow
3. Drake - Best I Ever Had
4. Keri Hilson featuring Ne-Yo and Kanye West - Knock You Down
5. Lady GaGa - LoveGame
6. Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)
7. Sean Kingston - Fire Burning
8. Jeremih - Birthday Sex
9. Linkin Park - New Divide
10. Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas

It could be one of the most anticipated hip hop videos in years, but Drake’s clip for his blazing summer smash “Best I Ever Had” has finally arrived.

The video was directed by none other than Kanye West at a Brooklyn, NY high school, and focuses on basketball and, erm, breasts. You’d have to be blind to miss all the bouncing boob action.

Besides a few humorous moments (when the team can’t score any points, Drake scolds the girls saying, “When you’re out there and they put that D on you, take that D! Take that D like the champions you are.” Then one player retorts, “But Drake, all you ever taught us how to do is stretch!”), the video is a colossal let down. I had expected Drizzy and Yeezy to take more advantage of the song’s summer appeal and lyrics about one special girl.

Maybe the cameos by Trey Songz, Fabolous, and Consequence will make up for some of the blahness. Check it!

Michael Jackson fans in the United States turned their mourning into record-breaking chart magic.

Six days following the King of Pop’s death, he reigns as the King of Billboard’s Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. Nine of the top ten albums on the chart belong to Jackson as a solo artist or with his brothers in the Jackson 5, selling a combined 422,000 units (by comparison, he sold 10,000 in the week before his death).

Coming in at No. 1 is the compilation album Number Ones selling 108,000 copies, followed by The Essential Michael Jackson at No. 2 (102,000), the reissue of Thriller at No. 3 (101,000), Off The Wall at No. 4 (33,000), The Jackson 5 The Ultimate Collection at No. 5 (18,000), Bad at No. 6 (17,000), Dangerous at No. 7 (14,000), HIStory, Vol. 1 at No. 8 (12,000), and Jackson’s The Ultimate Collection box set at No. 9 (11,000).

Over on the Hot Digital Songs chart, the Jackson buying bonanza continued. 21 solo and four Jackson 5 hits charted, with six titles landing in the top ten.

“Thriller” is tops at No. 2 with 167,000, “Man In The Mirror” at No. 3 (165,000), “Billie Jean” at No. 4, (158,000), “The Way You Make Me Feel” at No. 6 (136,000), “Beat It” at No. 7 (134,000), and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” at No. 8 (125,000).

All 25 songs on the digital chart combined sold a whopping 2.6 million downloads.

It seems congratulations are in order for the eldest Jonas. Kevin Jonas, the 21-year-old member of the hugely successful sibling band Jonas Brothers, proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Danielle Deleasa of New Jersey, early Wednesday morning (July 1st).

“She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row,” Kevin told People magazine who broke the story.

Nick and Joe Jonas couldn’t be happier for their big bro. The two took to their Twitter page to leave a little note expressing their happiness: “Congrats big brother…..Dani welcome to the family, we can’t wait to have you join us on the road.”

“Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage,” Kevin’s parents said in a joint statement released to People. “It is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date. Family is very dear to us, and we hope we have raised Kevin to be a wonderful man and husband.”

Don’t cry too hard Jonas fans! Nick and Joe–although dating–are still on the market.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know Drake is just about the hottest thing to come along since fast food restaurants started to keep their drive-thru windows open late so you can eat great (believe me, that’s pretty hot!).

The 22-year-old Canadian rapper appeared on MTV’s new live talk show It’s On with Alexa Chung to talk about his extreme hotness that led to a serious bidding war between record labels to sign him. He ended up signing a joint venture between his manager and Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint with distribution through Universal.

He also talked about working with Kanye West, who directed the video for his sizzling summer song “Best I Ever Had.” “Kanye is one of those people that come along in this business once in a lifetime,” Drake gushed. “He’s so talented beyond music.”

And even though he made no mention of pop goddess Rihanna who he has been linked with in the tabloids and gossip blogs, he did talk about the best date he ever had. “I went out for dinner one night and had some phenomenal conversation…That’s really like the best date to me.”

Before he was sent on his way, Alexa became the hottest chick ever when she rolled an old school clip of Drake as an awkward-looking Jimmy Brooks on the teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation. Was he embarrassed? You betcha! “You couldn’t get a post-haircut clip!?”

Beyonce’s uber-edgy alter ego Sasha Fierce is about to get into more than just music; she’s also getting her own clothing line.

Joining Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles’s junior line, Dereon, the Sasha Fierce line will debut just in time for back to school shopping, according to WWD.

Sasha’s fierce frocks — which are inspired by Beyonce’s stage costumes from her successful I Am… world tour — will include pieces heavy on bold accessories that mix and match metals with an emphasis on black and faux leather. But it won’t be all about clothing. The line will expand to shoes, handbags, and oversized sunglasses.

You can purchase Sasha Fierce items in Macy’s, Dillard’s, and specialty stores Jimmy Jazz and Against All Odds.

Summertime is here, so what a perfect time for Colbie Cailatt, the California singer/songwriter who oozes sunshine and warm breezes, to come back with her new single, “Fallin’ For You.”

Just like her debut smash “Bubbly” from her album CoCo, “Fallin’” evokes that same mushy feeling of summer love with its airy production and Caillat’s delicate vocals. It’s the perfect song to blast while driving to the beach.

“Fallin’ For You” leads Colbie’s sophomore album, Breakthrough, which will be in stores August 25.

Rob Thomas is easily one of most gifted singer/songwriters to emerge in the late 90’s and carry over into this decade. His music — solo and with his band Matchbox Twenty — is bare and honest, yet somehow manages to retain just enough coolness to produce constant chart hits.

He just released his long awaited sophomore solo album, Cradlesong, on Tuesday (June 30). With the lead single “Her Diamonds” taking off, he’s been traveling around to promote the set.

He stopped by radio station Mix 106.5 in San Jose to treat some lucky fans to a 3-song acoustic set. He performed “Her Diamonds” (above) MB20 classic “3 A.M.” and his hit from his first album “Lonely No More.”

I know what you’ll be thinking after you watch: “When’s the tour?” Yeah, I know. I’m wondering too. I’ll keep you posted.

Sure LeToya Luckett told her cheating dog ex-boyfriend she doesn’t want him “Not Anymore” on the first single from her upcoming sophomore album “Lady Love,” but now she wants to know who the chick is that broke them up, and let that creep know “She Aint Got Sh*t On Me.”

LeToya goes a bit left of her R&B sounds with a more rock edge on the Cory Bold produced track. She serves up even more fierceness in the video as she hits the club with her girls to confront her ex and his new chick.

The new sound may take a bit to get used to, but LeToya packs in just enough attitude to pull it off — plus, there’s no way you can resist the “swing batter batter” hook.
