These album titles are all unique due to the fact that they all contain numbers or some form of numbers including numerals.

Everything is never as perfect as it seems. We've learned that over the years when it comes to not only music but even going as far as the stars on TV. While some good things eventually come to an end as we see in most groups; before that groups try to go the distance by replacing members. Whether it be a fall out; group dispute; or personal decision, some groups have stood the test of time for as long as they could. Here are an example of some of the groups who became more well known for their line up changes than their music; hey it happens! 3LW After a fight in a car involving chicken(oddly enough); Naturi Naughton was kicked out of 3LW and started her own successful solo career in music and movies. I can't remember the girl that replaced Naturi but 3LW trucked on with much success. The group eventually transformed into The Cheetah Girls based on the Disney show of the same name before eventually disbanding. Destiny's Child Perhaps one of the more well known documented g...

Songs dedicated to drinks are listed here; hence the title "Bottoms Up". Thirsty much? One More Drink, Ludacris featuring T-Pain Ludacris produced one of his better tracks from his "Theater Of The Mind" album and featuring T-Pain didn't hurt the song or its chart position. Milkshake, Kelis Kelis scored her biggest US hit here with this Neptunes produced hit! Milkshakes never tasted so good after this. Sugar Honey Iced Tea, Kelis Not only did Kelis sing about milkshakes she sung about "Sugar Honey Iced Tea" and the way she sung this song; it must of been damn good. Pass The Courvoisier, Busta Rhymes featuring Pharrell Williams I remember this song coming out when I was in school; either junior high or high school. I can remember everyone going around and singing it; including myself. Gin & Juice, Snoop Dogg This song goes down as a Hip Hop classic and can be heard in many movies and of course from the original OG himself; Snoop Dogg. Pink Lemonade, ...

Hello all! I was cruising online when I found a few new album and single covers [I or] you may have missed. Boyz II Men are still trucking on after numerous years in the business. Their latest release, "Love" is a cover album featuring many classic hits. In stores November 24. R. Kelly will release his latest album, "Untitled" on October 13. The album is lead by the single, "Number One" featuring Keri Hilson. Jennifer Lopez returns with her alter ego, Lola for the new song, "Fresh Out The Oven" featuring Pitbull. The song was produced by The Neptunes and has a lot of buzz right now. As it was reported previously, this is not the first single for Jennifer's new album but moreso a buzz single.

I was so excited about The-Dream's new album and I was very disappointed. That's why I don't like to get too excited about things even music. "Walkin" has gotten a lot of buzz online but its just an okay song to me. ---------------- Now playing: Boyz II Men - Boo'd Up --bsaii.blogspot.com-- via FoxyTunes

Ciara is on the brink of releasing her "Fantasy Ride" album on May 5. Unfortunately though the majority of the album if not all has leaked online ages ago. The response to the album has been overwhelming and Ciara puts on one hell of a performance of hit single, "Love Sex Magic" sans Justin Timberlake. Check it out! ---------------- Now playing: Boyz II Men - Boo'd Up --bsaii.blogspot.com-- via FoxyTunes

Okay so I'm listening to the new Brandy album and I'm really liking it. I don't have a favorite Brandy album cause I like all her albums equally. I am liking this though despite all the negativity I was reading about it. I guess at the end of the day you can't please everybody. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! Audio: Ashanti - Crime Here is a newly unlreased track from Shani's "The Declaration" album. I remember Ashanti bragging about this song in interviews prior to the album's release. Obviously the tracklisting was reworked a bit because a lot of the songs Shani talked about never made the cut.. Regardless 'The Declaration' was one of my favorite albums of 2008! Audio: Joss Stone - Govermentalist Here is a newly recorded song by Britian's soul goddess. The song was written and recorded exclusively for president elect Barack Obama as a request. Joss is one of the few artists who has no hit s...
