Super Bowl 51 kicks off at 6:30 PM ET on Sunday, February 5. Following on the success of last year's late summer anthem 'Cold Water', international superstars MAJOR LAZER - the collaborative project of Diplo, Walshy Fire and Jillionaire - release their brand new single, 'Run Up', featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR & NICKI MINAJ. The track will be released via Because Music this January 27th. Following their biggest year to date that saw previous singles 'Cold Water' and 'Light It Up' go platinum as well as 'Lean On' top over 1.5 mil sales (becoming the second most streamed song of all time), Major Lazer are set to kick in 2017 in true dancehall style with the release of 'Run Up'. Bringing together the unmistakable talents of global-megastar Nicki Minaj and OVO'sPARTYNEXTDOOR, who is fresh off the back of writing one of 2016's biggest selling singles,Rihanna's 'Work'), 'Run Up' is an addictive, mellow slice of dancehall-inspired pop poised to be this season's hottest tracks. "It's always important for us to work with people who are on the same wave,"says Diplo. "Nicki and Party really helped us bring the classic Major Lazer style to create this perfect party record." Nickelback signed to a new label and are working on their ninth studio album. BMG is reporting that they’ve signed the group to a new deal. Zach Katz (U.S. President, Repertoire and Marketing) stated, “We are thrilled to welcome the legendary Nickelback to BMG. For us, the opportunity to work side by side with a band of their caliber, with an exceptional body of work reaching the highest levels of global success, truly speaks for itself. We are excited to let the world experience their extraordinary new music soon.” “We are honored to partner with the global BMG team and look forward to releasing new music for our fans,” began Nickelback in a collective statement. “Sharing our vision and passion with such a dedicated team while being surrounded by some of the greatest music artists of all time is very humbling and we couldn’t be more excited.” The band’s last album, No Fixed Address, was released in 2014 and was their first album to not receive Platinum certification in the U.S. since their 1996 debut, Curb. However, promotion of the disc was significantly curbed when the band had to cancel a good portion of their touring after Chad Kroeger developed a cyst on his vocal cords and required surgery. Fans anxiously awaiting new music from the Canadian powerhouse will have to hold out until Feb. 1 when Nickelback will be releasing the new single “Feed the Machine” alongside a tour announcement.

So "let's get to the bottom let's get to the point". There's no time in life for fake friends or unaired issues, and anyone who wants to stay in the vibration of a problem is probably not going to fit into the picture of my life. Are we good?"

Selena Gomez released a short teaser trailer on her Instagram Wed. (Jan. 25) for the upcoming Netflix series Thirteen Reasons Why, which she is producing.
Based off of the New York Timesbestseller of the same name, the series follows the story of teenager Hannah Baker -- who has recently committed suicide -- when her classmate Clay Jensen receives a set of cassettes from her following her death. Hannah explains the cassettes detail the 13 reasons why she took her life -- each being a specific person she says contributed to her decision. After reading the book herself, Gomez met with her mother, Mandy Teefey, and producer Kristel Laiblin to aid in bringing an adaptation to the screen. The teaser gives a glimpse at the main leads -- some justifying, denying and regretting their unknown actions -- while the impeccable “Monsters” by Ruelle plays in the background. Thirteen Reasons Why will premiere on Netflix Mar. 31.
