A new duet from Que of Day26 and Dawn Richard of Danity Kane has been released (or, perhaps, leaked). It's called "Broken Promises" and it's not immediately clear if this is an actual single or just the result of a writing session between the two - hence, a reference vocal, meant for sale to other artists.
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today.

Bad Boy A&R Daniel "Skid" Mitchell has launched The New AnR. He describes the site as "an attempt to explain what the duties and responsibilities and life of an A&R trying to make hot records and find new talent." In a MySpace bulletin announcing the site, he says that he wants to help people make better music.
A&R stands for Artists and Repertoire. Generally, it's an individual or department at a record label who is at least partially responsible for talent discovery and development. If you are looking to get signed by Bad Boy, I believe that it would be worthwhile for you to join this site.

This is yet another rumor that I haven't mentioned because of, at best, questionable sources, but Cassie confirms that she is not joining Danity Kane.
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today. "Lost" continues it's growth. Though it dropped in a few categories, it gained in the biggest one: the Hot 100. It debuts on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, just four slots away from a spot on the big chart.
