The album will hit stores on 29 November and is preceded by the single,"Well, Well, Well". Peep the official album artwork above and take a look at the music video for the first single below and let me know what you think!

Jessica Simpson joins the festivities!

Mariah Carey isn't the only superstar preparing for the release of a Christmas album. Former pop princess Jessica Simpson also plans to release a second Christmas album, "Happy Christmas" on 7 December. Simpson's previous holiday album spawned the singles, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" and "What Christmas Means To Me" and went on to sell 700 000 copies in the US. The album marks Simpson's first offering in two years after the release of "A Public Affair" which bombed on the charts. The first single should premiere soon.

BEP take us back to "The Beginning"!

Following the success of their last studio album, "The E.N.D.", The Black Eyed Peas are getting ready to dominate the charts again with a new album ingeniously titled, "The Beginning". The album will serve as the group's sixth and hits stores on 30 November. Take a listen to the first single, "The Time (The Dirty Bit)" below and let me know what you think.

You may recognize elements of the track as it samples "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. While some reviews are saying this is a 'new' direction for The Peas, I don't think this strays too far from "The E.N.D." material. The track is basically another club banger with a synth and a catchy hook and ultimately I think they were aiming to hit #1 again. Either way, I'm sure the album and subsequent singles will do well. Tidbit: The video for the single has already been shot in LA and should premiere soon!

Mariah Carey brings the Christmas spirit back early with her new single, "Oh Santa". Take a listen to the Jermaine Dupri produced track below and let me know what you think!

It'll be interesting to see how the track performs on the charts. I'm not convinced a revised Christmas album was the best idea, but nonetheless new music from Mariah Carey is always a nice surprise.
