Isabella Summers, of Florence + The Machine gave UK radio listeners a taste of her remix to Beyoncé’s “Countdown” last year November.

What’s so significant about the pairing of those two images above? Well, it was 2003 when Madonna took to the VMA stage with the top Pop female acts, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Fast forward almost nine years later to last evening’s Super Bowl halftime show and Madonna is paired with two of today’s top Pop mainstream acts. Still wandering the significance? The significance is the fact that she was the center then and she still is now. The point is Madonna is in a genre where age matters and she is still viewed as #1.

Last year, 2010, Ke$ha released the surplus of an album to Animal entitled Cannibal. Ke$ha stepped outside of her Dance-Pop sound for three minutes and twenty six seconds and what a good time that was. It was producer Bangladesh and artist Andre 3000 who helped to deliver the super great “Sleazy.” Now, a little over a year, someone in Ke$ha’s camp realized how great this song is and decided to release this. But instead of releasing the original track the current version has been chalked up with new verses from your favorite rappers.

T.I., Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa and of course Andre 3000 hop on the remix of the urban bass banga. Not that it needed the assistance but we’re sure these features will give the single a whole new life and give it a push on the charts. Plus, this has reignited the interest in Ke$ha just in time for her sophomore, due in Spring of 2012. Oh, check T.I.’s flow…

This Jump Smokers remix of Sahara’s “Champagne” featuring Shaggy has been around for three months but is just coming into our light. There’s not much to say about this one except this is a hot one for the clubs. Initially, we thought “shopping” was said instead of champagne due to Sahara’s accent. Jump Smokers adds that extra bit of euphoria that the original lacked. Take a listen below…

Drake did not just release the first single of his sophomore album, Take Care, but he did release the first track kick start the new era. The song is titled “Dreams Money Can Buy.”

The track is that smooth, midtempo, Hip-Hop/R&B sound that Drake has familiarized the listeners with. The track starts off with the sound of raindrops followed by some classic humming with the contrast of some profanity, “Don’t F**k with me, don’t f**k with me.” The beat progresses with Drake’s sharp style of lyricism. Check out the tune below.

Yesterday, the remix of London producer SBTRKT’s “Wildfire,” featuring Drake and Yukimi of Swedish electro-pop group Little Dragon, dropped. Listen to it after…

Britney Spears took Rihanna to #1 this week by jumping on the “Rihmix” of “S&M” and now it looks like some are trying to do the same for Spears. Tour mate, Nicki Minaj, and the song’s writer, Ke$ha, put their vocals on the remix for “Till The Worlds Ends.”

Let’s be honest, Britney Spears’ music is always consistent but at this stage in her career the hype off of Spears name alone will push her to the top. Unfortunately the hype only lasts until she releases the first single. Her lack of real promo and connecting with the fans is a great part of why her eras aren’t as long as they could be.

Enough jibber jabber, this is a good move and will possibly push the single to #1. Below is a snippet but we bet the full will be somethin’ else.

UPDATE: The full version leaked.

There was Beyoncé & Lady GaGa and now two other contemporary female Popstars are collaborating for a track. Yup, for the first time, Britney Spears’ name is at the end of a song’s title, as a feature. Spears has jumped on board Rihanna’s current radio hit, “S&M.”

With the recent crop of interviews from Britney Spears, this era, she has gone on about her like for Rihanna as well as the single. And just as easy as it probably was to get Spears to jump on the remix, the end product is just as easily forgettable. No more to say, just check out what will probably be Spears’ only feature.

Lady GaGa once again used one of Thierry Mugler’s fashion shows as a platform to premiere new music from her Born This Way era. This time she used the track “Government Hooker,” along with “Sheiße (Remix)” and “Born This Way (Remix)”… Not only that, GaGa transformed from artiste into runway model and y’know what she did quite a good job.

The presence looked like it was certainly felt as the red spotlight guided GaGa through the towers. Two blonde ponytails nearly the length of her body, platform heels a foot high and everything else Mugler… GaGa certainly had the personality of when the 90′s Supers ruled the catwalk.

Over-the-top, GaGa certainly was. Now there is no confirmation that the track is a remix or the original but either way it is a decent track. Team GaGa know how to do prom; they are some kinda machine. View more photos from the show HERE and view a video after…

Chris Brown tweeted his frustrations over his Grammy losses the other day, but he should be over it by now. Yesterday, the artistic guy unveiled the official album art for his F.A.M.E. album, due out on March 22. Very colorful, the art falls in line with that hipster-like/mismatched style of Brown.

Brown is not releasing anymore tracks from album just yet but he is featured on two new tracks, one of T-Pain and one of Justin Bieber.

In T-Pain’s latest single entitled “Best Love Song,” Brown assist with autotuned vocals. The song is radio food and is what we’ve come to expect from Pain: autotune, blaring melody, loudness.

The next is of Brown, jumping on the remix for Justin Bieber’s “Up.” The song is a really nice midtempo. With similar sounding voices, Bieber and Brown nails this R&B/Pop tune. Brown tweeted, “I know y’all are excited about this bieber breezy collab on his album but this record on my FAME album we got is killing everything!!!”
