With the official tracklist for Nothing was the Same revealing song titles like "Tuscan Leather" and "Pound Cake," the world can't wait to hear what Drake has in store on his third album. And since the Toronto rapper has "aspirations of being Marvin Gaye," you'd better believe that this will be a memorable LP — and yes, there will be more singing.

After dropping Take Care, Drake relocated to Los Angeles, where he recorded a bulk of the new album and focused on stepping up his game. "The music that I'm making is more concise, more clear, and I've been able to get my thoughts a lot better on this album," he told MTV News. "Take Care is a great album, but I listened to it and realized where I could do better and I think I've done better on this album."

Drake's most recent single, "Hold On We're Going Home," is a feel-good pop track that he refers to as his "wedding song," and he's warning critics early that there will be more melodic tracks on the album.

"My biggest thing is...if you wanna listen to Drake music for the rest of your life — I welcome it, I want you to listen to it, I want you to be a part of it — just don't ever be surprised when I'm singing or using melody," he said. "I'm doing that on this album. This album is not some straight rap album, I'll never do a straight rap album. That's not how I came into this and that's never ...

Pearl Jam: Lightning Bolt

Release Date: October 15

The word: "We had a blast and recorded some of the best songs we did," longtime producer Brendan O'Brien told Rolling Stone about the session that began in a three-week burst May 2011 and then stalled until last March. O'Brien said songs like "Siren" and "Infallible" are a bit long for pop tunes. But, like everything Eddie Vedder has written over the past two decades, they were tapped out on the singer's battered typewriter.

SAVANNAH, Georgia — Although Rupert Grint's butt took center stage in MTV News' exclusive "CBGB" clip, the former "Harry Potter" star's backend won't be the only tush making a cameo on the silver screen.

When MTV News caught up with Grint on the "CBGB" set, he revealed his co-star Justin Bartha would also be flashing his derriere in the upcoming flick.

"I've got to know Justin quite well," Grint laughed. "Seeing just now his butt cheeks were my canvas and I was drawing stuff on his bare ass cheeks."

In the film, Grint and Bartha, play Dead Boys' bandmates Cheetah Chrome and Stiv Bators, respectively. When the guys find themselves looking for something to do on a road trip, rather than a friendly round of "I Spy" or the "License Plate Game," Bartha's character passes the time by ditching his drawers and bending over.

"Today we are a shooting a scene where the Dead Boys go on the road, drive the Northeast and do a little tour," Bartha explained. "They are in certain states of disarray, trying to stay awake, screwing with each other and [my character]; he had an affinity for mooning people while he was driving."

And although their backsides were a popular topic on the movie's set, it turns out underwear wasn't the only thing these actors had to drop for their "CBGB" roles. Grint said goodbye to his English accent — "it's kind of easy because my character has done so many drugs you can't really understand what he's saying" — while Bartha shed some extra pounds to ...

After the glorious Canadian day that was Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger's wedding celebration, the lovebirds are set to get emotional again on Lavigne's just-announced self-titled album, out November 5.

Avril released the track list for her fifth studio album on Thursday (September 5), according to Hollywood Reporter and it looks as if the newlyweds have a duet on the docket. "Let Me Go," judging solely by its title and Kroeger's penchant for gritty rock ballads, may just be a tear-jerking, slow-tempoed song about losing the one you love. We'll see.

The "Sk8er Boi" singer also appears to have a duet with Marilyn Manson, although we expect that to be exactly opposite of a heart-wrenching ballad.

Avril's album art debuted in August — a dark portrait with smeared smoky eye, hair pulled back from her washed-out face.

The album already has two singles out, including "Here's to Never Growing Up" (co-written by her husband) and "Rock N Roll." It was co-produced by Lavigne, Kroeger, Martin Johnson and David Hodges.

Here's the track list for Avril Lavigne: » "Rock N Roll"
» "Here's To Never Growing Up"
» "17"
» "Bitchin' Summer"
» "Let Me Go" (featuring Chad Kroeger)
» "Give You What You Like"
» "Bad Girl" featuring Marilyn Manson
» "Hello Kitty"
» "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet"
» "Sippin' On Sunshine"
» "Hello Heartache"

 » "Falling Fast"
» "Hush Hush"

Just hours before Miley Cyrus twerked and grinded with Robin Thicke in her infamous 2013 VMA performance, she dropped , a slower, heart-breaking ballad from Bangerz.

And now, with the "We Can't Stop" commotion subsiding and "Wrecking Ball" climbing up the iTunes chart (currently sitting at #10), Miley is ready to let loose her new video for the song.

"#comingMonday," Cyrus tweeted on Thursday (September 5). The video will make its way to Vevo at the top of the week, and to hold over Smilers, she accompanied the tweet with a teaser photo.

Exclusive: Miley Cyrus Breaks Silence Over VMA Performance.

Miley clings to a big, weathered wrecking ball, head tilted back, relaxed. She wears maroon Doc Martens and a tiny white tank. Concrete walls surround her.

After the announcement, dedicated fans formulated a plan to break the Vevo record for most views. Smiler accounts pledged to watch and rewatch the video. "We Can't Stop" hit the record for most views in 24 hours with 10.7 million views when it debuted, but in July, One Direction's "Best Song Ever" overtook the clip.

"I'm praying that the #WreckingBall music video will be artistic and not twerky twerky. It's a good ballad, Miles. ❤" one fan wrote, while others quoted the song's lyrics.

Katy Perry finally dropped her jungle-set on Thursday (September 5), and fans are generally pounding their chests with pride for the singer.

The "Roar" video — for the lead single from her upcoming Prism — tells the "Lost"-like tale of Perry and her vain boyfriend. Not long after the couple find themselves marooned on a desert island, Perry's beau meets a ghastly fate at the claws of a tiger.

But rather than succumb to fear, Perry gets all Darwin and adapts, becoming a regular Jane of the Jungle with help from her pal Ripley the monkey. Naturally, she remains perfectly groomed almost the entire time, improvising with fruits and flowers in lieu of her neighborhood Sephora.

10 Wilderness Survival Tips We Picked Up From Katy Perry's "Roar" Video

KatyCats were certainly struck by Perry's look in the video. @beccaburkawits quite cannibalistic-ly tweeted, "Katy Perry looks so pretty in the roar video. Like can I have your skin please and thank you," while @xwellf---you vibed out on Perry's ensemble, including her taste for spots.

Some fans were just too overwhelmed for words. @jourdannh just barely eked out a tweet reading, "I'm actually crying after watching this. @katyperry wow...amazing."

@RoarOutLoud_ agreed, tweeting, "TEARS OF HAPPINESS OH MY ROAR," while @PrettiRECKLESS finished watching the video feeling completely fulfilled.

Some, however, had some suggestions about how to improve upon the Tarzan-inspired video. @MsLanieeee had a hard-core suggestion as a matter of fact.

Make it happen, Katy!
