Nicki Minaj+Annie Lennox=True


WelcheMusic recently reported about the Haddaway sample in Eminem’s “No Love.” We absolutely love Nicki Minaj’s sample of Annie Lennox’s 1995 hit “No More I Love You’s” in “Your Love.” The track is included on the Minaj album Pink Friday, which currently sits at No.2 on the Billboard 200.

“Your Love” was also included on Minaj’s mixtape “Barbie World” and issued as the first single off the album this June. It peaked at No.14 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Five Swedes in the Run for American Grammies


Five Swedes are able to win a Grammy next February. WelcheMusic has already reported on Eminem and Rihanna being nominated for Song of the Year. Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” is nominated for “Best Dance Recording.” She competes against Rihanna’s “Only Girl (In the World)” and Lady Gaga’s “Dance in the Dark.” Two years ago, Robyn lost to Chemical Brothers in the “Best Dance/Electronic Album” category.

The Swedish producers RedOne and Max Martin compete in the “Album of the Year” category. RedOne produced Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster, while Martin co-produced Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream. The producer and DJ Axwell is nominated for his remix of Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” while the opera singer Ann-Sofie von Otter competes in the Best Classical Vocal Performance category. She has won a Grammy three times before.

Eminem had the most number of nominations – ten – followed by Lady Gaga and Jay-Z with six each. The Grammy will be held in L.A. on Feb.13 2011.

Eminem & Rihanna Can Grab a Grammy


Don’t be surprised if Eminem and Rihanna grab a Grammy next year. Their “Love the Way You Lie” competes with Ray LaMontagne, Cee Lo Green, Tom Douglas & Allen Shamblin and Lady Antebellum for the Song of the Year award.

“Love the Way You Lie” was the second single off Eminem’s Recovery set and was issued this August. Produced by Alex da Kidd, the track wasn’t even intended to be on the album and was recorded in the last minute. A second part has also been recorded and included on Rihanna’s Loud album.

Despite being one of the top sellers in the UK, the track failed to make the No.1 spot there. It did top the charts in both the US and Sweden. The follow-up single was released in October – “No Love” peaked at No.23.

According to Last.FM, “Not Afraid” has been the most popular Eminem tune the six last months, followed by “Cold Wind Blows” and “On Fire.” Both tracks are featured on Recovery, but have not been promotional singles.
