"Yeah 3X" (produced by DJ Frank E (Justin Franks)), was co-written by Brown, Franks, Kevin McCall and Amber Streeter.  Driving the track's airplay momentum is its high-energy, dance-fueled video, (click to view video) which premiered last week on MTV, MTV Hits, MTV Jams and MTV TR3 as well as VEVO.

Brown is already receiving accolades for the new single. Entertainment Weekly exclaims, "This could be as big as "Forever."

"Deuces," meanwhile, continues its No. 1 reign with nine weeks at the top of Billboard's Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop chart.  The standout track is from Brown's Fan of a Fan collaborative mix-tape hosted by DJ Ill Will & DJ Rockstar.  The Fan mix-tape is a joint effort between Brown and Young Money rapper Tyga, who is also featured on "Deuces" with Brown and McCall.  Brownalso released a remix to the track featuring Andre 3000, T.I., Drake, Kanye West, Rick Ross and Fabolous which has proven to be successful as well.

With combined track and ringtone sales of 1 million, "Deuces" has achieved additional milestones during its successful chart run.  Jumping from No. 7 to No. 1 in a single week, the single netted the biggest leap to No. 1 since "Bills, Bills, Bills" byDestiny's Child in 1999.  "Deuces" is also the first record to claim No. 1 and No. 1 greatest gainer honors in the same week.  Marking nine consecutive weeks at No. 1 this week, "Deuces" now boasts the longest No. 1 reign at the Urban format for 2010.

ALBUM IS THE FOLLOW-UP TO GRAMMY AWARD WINNING CD THE E.N.D.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 26 -- Six-time Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum recording artists The Black Eyes Peas have announced that they will release a brand-new album, entitled The Beginning, on November 30th, 2010, on Interscope Records.

The Black Eyed Peas' sixth album, The Beginning is the follow-up to the group's blockbuster cd The E.N.D.  Released in June 2009, The E.N.D. has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide, while spending 52 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 chart.  It is also the first album in two decades by a duo or group to yield five Top 10 songs on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, including the No. 1 hits "Boom Boom Pow," "I Gotta Feeling" (which is the best-selling digital song in SoundScan history), and "Imma Be," as well as the Top 10's "Meet Me Halfway" and "Rock That Body."  In addition, The E.N.D. was nominated for six 2010 Grammy Awards and won for Best Pop Vocal Album, "Boom Boom Pow" won Best Short Form Music Video and "I Gotta Feeling" won for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group.

While the title of The E.N.D. was a play on words (standing for "The Energy Never Dies"), the new album's title, The Beginning, "refers to what is actually happening in the world right now," says will.i.am.  "The Beginning is symbolic of adopting new technologies, such as augmented reality, 3D, and 360 video.  It's also about being experimental and taking songs we've liked from the past and playing around with sick, crazy beats."

In keeping with that manifesto, the first single from The Beginning is "The Time (The Dirty Bit)," which is built around a sample from the classic 1987 theme from Dirty Dancing, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," recorded by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.  "The song is a celebration of this amazing time in our lives," says vocalist Fergie.  "We've been on tour all over the world, and looking out at stadiums full of people who came out to see us – that's as big as it gets.  After the shows, we go out to the clubs and meet the fans; those are moments that we have to remember."  "Plus the fact that we get to experience it with each other," adds vocalist apl.de.ap, "that's the best feeling ever."

"You never know what's going to happen, so you want to make the best of every day," says will.i.am.  "We wanted to capture that feeling and release a song that celebrates with the fans because it wouldn't have happened without them."  "This album is the beginning of a new era of Pea world domination – fasten your seat belts pea-ple enjoy the ride," declares Taboo.

The Black Eyed Peas have shot a video for "The Time (The Dirty Bit)," with director Rich Lee, who also lensed the Peas' "Imma Be Rocking That Body" video, as well as clips for Eminem ("Not Afraid"), The All-American Rejects ("The Wind Blows"),Fergie ("Clumsy"), and the Pussycat Dolls ("Hush Hush").

The Beginning will be released in several physical formats – a standard CD, a deluxe CD that includes 3 bonus songs, a full album vinyl and a combo two-disc set of 20 songs that includes The Beginning & The Best of THE E.N.D. – and digitally at all online retailers.

The Black Eyed Peas are currently on the road on their Blackberry Presents "The E.N.D. World Tour 2010," which culminates this fall with shows in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru after extensive North American and European legs over the past year.  The New York Times described the tour as "pop's latest sci-fi spectacle," while Spin.com raved "they push the boundaries of what it means to be one of the top-selling acts in music today" and the New York Post declares a "visually stunning production."

The E.N.D. was The Black Eyed Peas first original music since 2005's Monkey Business, which was certified triple platinum in the U.S., with worldwide sales of more than nine million.  Monkey Business generated Grammy Awards over two consecutive years, for "Don't Phunk with My Heart" and "My Humps."  The Peas' first Grammy Award came six years ago, for "Let's Get It Started," from their breakthrough 2003 album Elephunk, which introduced Fergie into the lineup, and transformed the group into international superstars with cumulative 25x platinum sales in nearly a dozen countries around the world.  In 2006, Fergie released her six-million-selling solo debut The Dutchess and 2007 Producer of the Year Grammy-nominee will.i.am released Songs About Girls.  Since forming in 1995, The Black Eyed Peas have sold more than 28 million albums worldwide and more than 30.8 million digital tracks.  In addition, they have logged more than 300 headline tour dates in 29 countries with more than 2.2 million tickets sold.  The group has been nominated for a 2010 American Music Award in the Favorite Band, Duo or Group category.

ARLINGTON, Texas, Oct. 25 -- Three-time Grammy Award winner Keith Urban will be the featured performer at The Salvation Army's Kettle Kickoff at halftime of the nationally televised Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game on November 25, 2010. Charlotte Jones Anderson, Executive Vice President Brand Management/ President of Charities for the Dallas Cowboys, made the announcement on ESPN's Monday Night Football this evening.  As part of the Kettle Kickoff promotion, fans will have a chance to win an expenses-paid trip to the game in Dallas versus the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints by signing up to be an Online Red Kettle virtual bell ringer at www.onlineredkettle.org. The game will air on FOX starting at 3:15 p.m. CST.

Keith Urban's halftime show will mark the 14th year that the Dallas Cowboys and The Salvation Army have partnered together to raise money for people in need in communities across the country. During the Thanksgiving Day performance Urban is expected to play a number of his top hits, including his latest single "Put You in a Song" from his forthcoming CD Get Closer (in stores on November 16th).

"I'm really honored to be a part of this great tradition and great partnership between the Dallas Cowboys and the Salvation Army," said Urban. "It's gonna be amazing playing in Cowboys Stadium in that environment at half time of the Thanksgivinggame!"

As part of this year's Kettle Kickoff, two fans will have the chance to win a trip to Dallas to see the game, by signing up to host an Online Red Kettle at www.OnlineRedKettle.org. The contest is free to enter and allows participants to work as a virtual bell ringer, recruiting friends, family and colleagues to support people in need across America by donating online.  Fans who collect the most donations have a chance to win. Fans can sign up beginning October 25, 2010, and winners will be alerted onNovember 21, 2010.  Complete rules and contest details are available online at www.OnlineRedKettle.org.

"This year, Keith Urban, one of the most popular music artists in the world, will kick-off the Red Kettle Campaign in style, and we couldn't be happier," said Charlotte Jones Anderson, recently announced as the new Chairperson of The Salvation Army's National Advisory Board.  "We know Keith's drive to share his voice with others, will connect with and encourage the American public to give generously and support the important work being done by The Salvation Army."

Over the last 13 years, the nationally televised halftime performance has become an annual Thanksgiving tradition for fans in attendance and viewers at home. The Red Kettle campaign has raised more than $1.3 billion since the partnership began in 1997 and has helped The Salvation Army to serve 30 million people each year nationwide. Last year, the red kettles raised a record $139 million. Previous celebrity halftime performers include Daughtry, Jonas Brothers, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Destiny's Child, Toby Keith, LeAnn Rimes, Creed, Jessica Simpson, Billy Gillman, Clint Black, Randy Travis and Reba McEntire.

"The partnership between The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys is one that comes from the heart of the Jones family as part of their commitment to help  those in need during Christmas and year-round," said Major George Hood, National Community Relations and Development Secretary for The Salvation Army. "Every year the opportunity for Salvation Army beneficiaries grows thanks to this great relationship, as well as the support of great musical talent like Keith Urban, allowing the Army to provide food, utility assistance, adult rehabilitation from alcohol and drug addiction, disaster relief and other services to nearly 30 million individuals in more than 5,000 communities nationwide every year."

From its original beginnings as a fundraiser started by a Salvation Army captain in San Francisco in 1891, the Red Kettle Campaign has grown into one of the most recognizable and important charitable campaigns in the United States. As part of the campaign, more than 25,000 Salvation Army workers and volunteers spread throughout the country to ring bells daily and solicit spare change donations to the iconic red kettles from holiday shoppers. In 2009, the campaign raised more than $139 millionnationwide, a new record supported by the public's  nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars, credit cards (and the occasional diamond ring or gold tooth) all collected and used to help people in the communities where they were raised. Last year, the funds helped The Salvation Army provide food, clothing, toys and other assistance to nearly 30 million Americans in need.

In addition to physical kettles, donors can contribute online at www.salvationarmyusa.org or through a virtual red kettle on any number of corporate or individual websites and Facebook pages.

About Keith Urban

In 2001, the Country Music Association honored Keith Urban with its Horizon Award, designating him a talented artist with a bright future, and to this day Urban remains the only Horizon Award winner in history to go on to win the CMA's Male Artist of the Year, a title he's captured three times, and the coveted Entertainer of the Year.  Nine years and nearly 15 million albums later, Keith is a three-time Grammy Award winner, who has also won a People's Choice and an American Music Award.  He's won five Academy of Country Music Awards, had 11 #1s, including 21 Top 5 hits and two consecutive #1 CDs.  He will release his sixth studio CD, Get Closer, on November 16th.  

In December 2009, Urban was named the year's most played country artist (at radio) thanks to #1 hits such as "Sweet Thing," "You'll Think of Me," "Only You Can Love Me This Way," "Better Life" and "Days Go By."  In addition, his 2002 smash "Somebody Like You" was named the #1 Country Song of the Decade by Nielsen BDS (based on radio airplay and audience impressions).

But Urban's reputation as an elite songwriter, musician, vocalist and virtuoso guitarist is no more evident than when he is onstage.  His electrifying concerts have played to sold-out venues from Australia to Germany to England to Canada and The United States and he's received high praise from critics. In fact, 2009's Escape Together World Tour, as well as 2007's Love, Pain & the whole crazy World Tour, were both, according to Pollstar, one of the top grossing tours for their respective years.

About Gene & Jerry Jones Family Charities

As a sports entity that has enjoyed unprecedented success and recognition for more than four decades, the Dallas Cowboys feel a very strong obligation to transfer that championship tradition and the magic that it creates toward the bigger purpose of making a difference in the community.

For the first time ever, Pretty Hate Machine will also be available everywhere as a digital download.

As a young musician in Cleveland, Ohio, Reznor took a job at a local recording studio and employed unused studio time to develop his own material.  The nascent album was later recorded with his favorite producers including Flood/Mark Ellis (U2, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey), John Fryer (Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil), Adrian Sherwood (Ministry, Cabaret Voltaire) andKeith LeBlanc (Tackhead).  The result was the first Nine Inch Nails album, 1989's Pretty Hate Machine.  All songs were written, arranged, programmed and performed by Reznor.  The album featured the breakthrough singles "Sin," "Down In It" and "Head Like A Hole," and ultimately sold over 3 million copies, reaching Triple Platinum sales status.  In the wake of the album's initial underground success, NIN soon developed a reputation as one of the best live acts in rock and joined the inaugural Lollapalooza tour in 1991.  NIN have since sold more than 18 million albums, collected Grammy® Awards and headlined arenas, amphitheaters and festivals worldwide.

The Bicycle Music Company acquired the rights to Pretty Hate Machine from a division of Prudential Securities in the spring of 2010.  It was Bicycle's intention from the onset to enable Reznor to regain some control of this lost piece of NIN's legacy, resulting in this artist approved 2010 reissue of one of music's most groundbreaking and influential albums.  Note: The previous CD version was reissued in 2005 but was not overseen by Reznor and is now out of print.

Reznor is currently working on new music as a member of the group How To Destroy Angels, continuing his Nine Inch Nails efforts and composing for future film score projects.

Blaqstarr, often known as DJ Blaqstarr, experienced local success in the early 2000s with a series of tracks he released via his own Starr Productions label. He is well-known for his songwriting and production work on M.I.A.'s 2007 album Kala and 2010'sMAYA. He also scored a 2006 club hit, "Shake It Down To The Ground," after discovering Baltimore dance-rap dynamo Rye Rye, whom M.I.A. has also signed to N.E.E.T. Over the last two years, Blaqstarr has released a mixtape, 2008's King of Roq (onDiplo's Mad Decent label), toured with Diplo, M.I.A., and Rye Rye, and participated in the 2008 Rock The Bells tour.

Constantly evolving as an artist, Blaqstarr is now stepping out with The Divine EP, which showcases his fearless and relentlessly experimental brand of electronic hip-hop. "There are no bounds for my music," he says, "so expect to experience every one of your best feelings when you listen to it." FADER has praised one of its tracks, "Oh My Darling," calling it "a simple loop with Blaqstarr's melancholy plea, something between Kanye, Prince, and Robin Thicke — direct and driving."

Jackie sang "Pie Jesu," her new single, on a special "Oprah" episode which aired Tuesday, October 19.  Following her performance, Jackie Evancho rocketed to #1 on Amazon.com.

An Interview with Jackie

Since appearing on "America's Got Talent," Jackie's steadily accumulated tens of millions of combined YouTube views and was the #1 Hot Google Search on August 10 and 11.  She had the #1 video on YouTube the week of August 11 and has YouTube's biggest non-ad-supported video of 2010 (so far).  The "America's Got Talent" finale on September 15 was the show's highest rated in three years.

Evancho catapulted into the "America's Got Talent" quarter finals when her unaffectedly pure performance of Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" (included on the O Holy Night DVD) handily won the show's YouTube round, selected by online fans.  An odds-on favorite with viewers, Jackie performed four times on "America's Got Talent" over the summer.  Rocketing into the finals, her astonishing classical crossover soprano performances marked the arrival of a major musical talent.

Jackie Evancho began singing seriously at the age of 7 after watching "The Phantom of the Opera" on DVD.  She soon launched her own YouTube channel and started vocal lessons when she was 8 years old.  A Pittsburgh native, Jackie performed at local talent shows, going on to perform at high profile events including singing the national anthem at Pittsburgh Pirate games.
