Rihanna's second single from her upcoming album Rated R, "Wait Your Turn," leaked online over the weekend. The track continues the dark vibe of the album's first single "Russian Roulette," which was met with mixed reviews two weeks ago. The hook on the song,"The wait is ova, the wait is ova," is a phrase that was used last month as a teaser announcing the album's November 23 release date.

The wait it seems is also over on RiRi's silence surrounding the February assault by former boyfriend, Chris Brown. Since the incident, Rihanna has made no statements, however the R&B star will appear on Thursday's Good Morning American for her first interview since the altercation, and on 20/20 the following night, and the world will finally hear her side of the story.

Rihanna released her new slow tempo single "Russian Roulette" today to mixed reviews. It definitely won't have fan reciting lines like 2007's "Umbrella."  (Ella, ella, eh, eh!)

This is the first single of Rihanna's fourth studio album, Rated R, which Def Jam confirmed will be released on November 23rd. For the LP, RiRi teamed up with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Tricky Stewart, Chase & Status and Ne-Yo, who wrote and produced "Russian Roulette."

The single seems to allude to an abusive relationship, and we can only assume that this album is a form of creative release and may be a brand new sound for the artist; therapy if you will, and similar to Kanye's emotional 808s and Heartbreak.

MTV News caught up with Ne-Yo recently and this is what the writer/producer had to say about Rated R:

The best and safest way I can say this is that Rihanna has some stuff to say and she's going to say it. And she ain't going to make no apologies for it.... I've heard a good majority of the album... world, get ready. That's all I'm going to say : World ,get ready. [MTV News]

So what do you think? Are we ready for an album outlining Rihanna's abusive relationship with Chris Brown?  Speak on it below!

Also, if you haven't heard the new track "Russian Roulette" yet, listen to it now on Rihanna's website!

Jennifer Lopez's highly anticipated new single featuring Pitbull was released yesterday. Entitled "Fresh Out The Oven" and produced by Pharell Williams, this is the first single off Lopez’s forthcoming album.  We caught up with Mr. 305 during the 2009 VMAs where he discussed his recent collabo with Jennifer Lopez, describing the track as "something very, very sexy" and the video as something reminiscent to the movie "Eyes Wide Shut." CALIENTE!

Lopez has not revealed her album title just yet but if yesterday’s online promotional launch of "Who is Lola" and new Twitter account is any revelation, then we have a feeling the album will be called "Lola," which is the new nickname Lopez has given herself.  Que, que?! Like Madonna's daughter? That’s right! According to sources, Jennifer Lopez will go by J.Lo no longer, self-titling herself Lola.  Doesn’t this remind you of someone? Perhaps of J.Lo's ex, Sean Combs, who's successfully made the transition from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to just Diddy?  Or maybe of Beyonce and her alter-ego "Sasha Fierce"? Will Jennifer Lopez have the same success? I guess we have to wait and see…

Now without further ado, listen to Jennifer Lopez's new single featuring Pitbull and stay tuned for the release of the music video…

We're hoping that Jenni Rivera's nuevo sencillo "Ovarios" shows the regional Mexican cantante that it's always darkest before the dawn.  Rivera, who is currently coping with the death of her ex-husband, has blown away the Billboard competition with her new, eggcentric ballad.

"Ovarios" jumped the regional Mexican airplay chart from 29 to 13 en una sola semana! This marks Rivera's 13th song to reach the Top 20 on Billboard's regional Mexican chart, a feat only one other female artist has accomplished, nuestra querida "Reina del Tex Mex," Selena.

"Ovarios" has not only brought career success to the singer, but it's unleashed un montón de drama in the Mexican music circuit.  In "Ovarios" Rivera habla de dos cantantes regionales de México with whom she's feuded, Alicia Villarreal and Graciela Beltrán, respectively referring to them as "la Jefa" y "la Reina:"

...dicen que viene la Jefa, miren cómo estoy temblando, no sé de quién serán jefas si nadie les hace caso, y las que dicen ser Reinas son de un pueblo abandonado.
