British siren Adele makes singing those heavy songs and belting out those lovely notes look so easy. But it appears that the road—and a throat infection—has taken its toll on her voice.

Today she announced that she’s canceling the remaining nine dates of her sold-out North American tour, including stints in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta, after being diagnosed with laryngitis. Her otolaryngology specialist requires Adele, 23, take the next few weeks off.

“I’m really frustrated,” she says in a press release. “I was hoping with a week’s rest I’d be better to sing again straight away. However there is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctor’s advice and rest some more. I’m so sorry. See you soon.” Her team’s working on rescheduling the canceled shows and will reveal new dates when they’re confirmed.

Those crazy 25-year-old kids on Glee demonstrate once more their uncanny ability to turn any song a delightful shade of vanilla, this time with a meh-tastic version of Adele’s cathartic, hell-hath-no-awesomeness-like-a-woman-scorned anthem “Rolling in the Deep.”

Check out the scene below, in which Jonathan Groff’s Jesse expresses his feelings to Lea Michele’s Rachel the only way he knows how: By awkwardly re-contextualizing someone else’s lyrics: READ FULL STORY »

British siren Adele returns to the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week.

With 88,000 copies of her sophomore set, 21, sold this week, not only does she regain her No. 1 seating, but the set has now sold over a million records, making her the first artist to score a platinum album in 2011.

Last week’s No. 1, Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale, slips a slot to No. 2. Its sales dropped 73% for 75,000 sold, while Radiohead’s The King of Limbs comes in at No. 3 with 67,000 units moved. Check out the top 10 after the jump.

Sex fiends looking to get lucky on a first date could do worse than to head to Britain and loudly announce their fondness for Metallica and Nirvana.

That is the conclusion to be drawn from a new poll conducted by U.K. music and dating website tastebuds.fm. The site asked users “how far they’d likely go” on a first date and then collated the information to find out band’s fans were the most, and least, likely to go “all the way.”

Britney Spears gets around. This morning, she showed up on a remix of Rihanna’s “S&M,” and now she’s mashing it up with Adele.

“Rolling Till The World Ends,” a track constructed by cross-fading maestro Spears’ “Till The World Ends” to Adele‘s vocals from “Rolling in the Deep.” It’s a sharp little mindbender that you can listen to after the jump.

The numbers for Britney Spears’ new album, Femme Fatale, are in.

Her seventh set debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 276,000 copies sold. Though it opens at the top spot, that’s a pretty underwhelming tally, considering it’s her second-lowest opening. Only her first record, 1999′s Baby One More Time, sold less, with 121,000 units.

Hip-hop talent Wiz Khalifa’s Atlantic Records debut, Rolling Papers, begins its stay on the chart at No. 2. 197,000 copies of his “Black and Yellow”-featuring set were purchased. While Adele’s 21 holds at No. 3: this g0-around she sold 94,000 albums. Check out the full top 10 after the jump.

Tiny body, old soul: Watch below as ten-year-old Brit Connie Talbot sings her small heart (and big lungs) out, a pocket Adele just hanging out under the stairs at home—apparently, pretty standard production values at the Talbot house—and ripping through the 22-year-old U.K. superstar’s torchy, wrenching ballad, with just a backing piano track and a blue boutonnier for company:

Chris Brown's 'F.A.M.E.' tops Billboard 200 album chart with more than a quarter of a million copies sold

Looks like Team Breezy didn’t let their man down this week.

The ride-or-die followers of embattled pop star Chris Brown lifted his fourth album, F.A.M.E., to a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It’s the second album since the infamous February 2009 incident that nearly cost him his career. The first, December 2009′s ill-received Graffiti, was a (relative) dud—pushing out just over 100,000 copies in its first week for a No. 7 opening.

Thirteen months later, it appears that aside from last week’s much-covered relapse, Brown is back. F.A.M.E. moved 270,000 units in its first seven days out. It’s the first time he’s topped the albums chart and the sales figures earn him 2011′s second best debut behind Adele’s 352,00 for 21. Trying to figure out how Brown made it to No. 1? Well, you can start here.

Jennifer Hudson’s sophomore set I Remember Me starts at No. 2, selling 165,000 albums. And Adele’s 21, last week’ s No. 1, drops to No. 3 with a still-impressive 96,000 albums sold.

Check out the full top 10 list after the jump.
