Fans have been eagerly anticipating new music from Lady Gaga, and now Mother Monster is letting her little monsters know that the new year will bring new music from her.

Gaga broke the news to fan site Lady-Gaga.net that Born This Way's first single will drop in February, and added that the album is like "bad kids going to church, having fun on a high level."

"I miss you guys so much," Gaga said in a video posted on the website. "Thank you for all of your support and I cannot wait to play you Born This Way. It is killing me."

Gaga recently told a crowd in Poland, where she was on her Monster Ball Tour, that the release will be "the greatest album of this decade."

"I promise you, I'll never let you down. And not for nothing: The album's finished and it's f---ing really good," Gaga said from the stage.

While no release date has been set for Born This Way, there has been much discussion from her camp about what this album will sound like. Her manager has said it's "incredible," while her label boss, Akon, explained that Gaga is taking things to the "next level" with this album.

"If I was going to compare it to her previous work, I would definitely say it's a notch up," he said. "It's like she's slowly taking you on to this journey down this road. If she were to just drastically do it, she probably would have lost everybody from the first album, but once the sound was created and established, now we can use that as a tool to grab all the monsters and walk them down this graveyard. It's crazy. It's amazing."

By now, you're probably aware that Kanye West is once again king of the Billboard albums chart, as his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sold nearly 496,000 copies to grab the top spot. Fantasy is West's fourth straight album to debut at #1, and its first-week numbers are most definitely eye-popping — but they're not the biggest of 2010.

That honor actually goes to someone with whom West is well-acquainted, Taylor Swift, whose Speak Now scored the year's biggest debut, selling an incredible 1,046,718 copies in its first week back in late October. Eminem's massive Recovery — which is the best-selling album of 2010, with more than 3 million copies moved — is next, as it sold more than 741,000 copies when it was released in June. Soldier of Love, Sade's first album in nearly a decade, posted the year's third-highest debut, selling nearly 502,000 copies in February.

West's Dark Twisted Fantasy is up next at #4, followed by Lady Antebellum's Need You Now, which sold nearly 481,000 copies in its first week. Rounding out the top 10 are Drake's Thank Me Later (#6, nearly 447,000 copies), Nicki Minaj's just-released Pink Friday (#7, 375,000 copies), Usher's Raymond v. Raymond (#8, 329,000 copies), Susan Boyle's The Gift (#9, nearly 318,000) and Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 (#10, nearly 283,000 copies sold).

Falling just outside the top 10 are the year's two biggest rock debuts: Jack Johnson, whose To the Sea sold nearly 243,000 copies when it was released in June, and Linkin Park, who sold more than 241,000 copies of their A Thousand Suns album in September.

DWTS: Jennifer Grey wins the trophy

If anything, this season of Dancing With the Stars has been controversial. Whether you believe Bristol Palin deserved a place in the finals or not, there?s no denying she earned it with hard work, improvement and dedication. Following an all-star opening that saw the majority of season 11?s contestants return, (Audrina Patridge was absent due to illness and Michael Bolton is on tour in England) the three remaining couples were left to battle it out with their final two dances for the night.

Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer kicked off the proceedings, scoring 26 out of 30 for their tango and 28 points for their instant cha cha. Bristol and Mark Ballas continued their respectable scores, receiving 25 for a tango and 27 for their instant cha cha. But it was Jennifer Grey, whose time on the show has been fraught with injury, who revealed early in the evening that she had ruptured a disc in her spine. However, not dancing was never an option and Jennifer and partner Derek Hough scored another perfect 30 for their Viennese waltz and another 28 points for their instant cha cha.

With the dances done all that was left was to reveal the winner. Sadly for Bristol and Mark, it would not be them as the news was given they would be the first couple eliminated. ?I feel I accomplished a lot,? Bristol said after the news. ?I am just so thankful for Mark as he started from scratch with this whole thing.?

As the spotlight turned to Kyle and Jennifer, both waited nervously to hear who would be this season?s champions. Finally, host Tom Bergeron revealed it was Jennifer and Derek. ?I was blank,? said a shocked Jennifer after the show. ?I was in a surrender moment. It?s a great gift to be a part of a show that gives so many people so much joy, that?s what it is.?

There were no hard feelings from Kyle and Lacey either. ?Jennifer worked extremely hard and probably went through the most on this show ? so many ups and downs,? beamed Kyle. ?And for us to get second next to Jennifer is so awesome,? added Lacey.

Nicki Minaj 'Manifested' Rihanna For 'Fly' Feature, J.R. Rotem Says

Producer at the helm of uplifting Pink Friday tune recalls how Minaj set about landing the collabo.

Nicki Minaj may be an upstart artist, but the Lil Wayne protégé handles her business like a veteran.

For "Fly," from her debut, Pink Friday, Minaj reached out to producer J.R. Rotem (Britney Spears, Rick Ross, Leona Lewis) to helm the track, an inspirational tune that was a last-minute addition to the album.

"Near the tail end of her project, I came into the studio and I had some tracks [for her]. That was one of the ones I was excited about," Rotem told MTV News. "When I played it for her, she knew instantly: 'Yes, this is the record.' She connected with it immediately. I could just tell she was excited by it, which excited me."

The demo version of "Fly" featured a studio session singer on the hook, but Minaj had another idea, namely Rihanna.

"That would be great," the producer recalled telling Minaj. "But getting Rihanna to do a hook for you is easier said than done. He added, "I think that speaks to Nicki's star power. I said, 'Yeah, she's definitely first choice.' "

Time passed, Rotem e-mailed Nicki and the two went back and forth until the rapper told him Rihanna had agreed to sing on the track.

"It took time because she was promoting her own album and traveling overseas," he said. "It happened, and I heard it when Nicki gave me the record and it really was one of those incredible things that was really a blessing. It manifested. She said she wanted it and it happened."
