With the help of hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, Usher's 'Hot Tottie' may just the the next chart-topping single. Over strobing, electronic beats, Usher falls in and out of Auto-Tune as he professes his desires for a quick "hot tottie": "I'm like oh Kimosabe / Your body is my hobby / We're freakin' / This ain't cheatin' as long as we tell nobody."

The Polow the Don-produced track will be one of eight new tracks featured on 'Versus,' a deluxe CD that also includes the re-release of Billboard 200's topper 'Raymond V. Raymond,' which is currently on track to break one million copies. Available Aug. 24, 'Versus' also includes the recent single 'DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love,' which features Cuban rapper Pitbull.

To hear 'Hot Tottie,' head over to AOL Radio's New Hip-Hop First station.

Scissor Sisters' new song, 'Whole New Way,' manages to perfectly capture the spirit of this New York-based ensemble.

The track, from the very beginning, clearly establishes itself as a dance song, thanks to its electrified beats, and a smooth groove that's all too perfect for scoring your walk into a nightclub. Fewer groups today are as innovative and convention-defying as the Scissor Sisters, undoubtedly evident on this new song.

'Whole New Way' is featured on the Scissor Sisters' latest album, 'Night Work,' which was released on June 28 and also includes their single, 'Fire With Fire.' To hear 'Whole New Way,' tune in to AOL Radio's New Indie First station.

Recent rumors have been swirling all over the Web that Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez could be two new judges on next year's 'American Idol.'

Ridiculous? Maybe. But Aerosmith will be done with the North American leg of their Cocked, Locked, Ready to Rock tour this summer, and currently have no plans to release their unfinished album, leaving room for the lead singer to seek out other endeavours. And with J-Lo's departure from long-time label Sony in February, a position like this -- which would start in January of 2011 -- could be beneficial, career-wise. If the two sign up for the gig, that means the reality talent show will revert to a three-judge lineup, with Randy Jackson as the only original judge when he started back in 2002.

Country music superstars Rascal Flatts celebrate their 10-year anniversary with the release of 'Why Wait,' the first single from their forthcoming seventh studio album 'Nothing Like This.'

The extremely poppy, uptempo country-rock song finds lead singer Gary LeVox eager to pop the big question to his girl: "Why wait another minute for something we should have done yesterday / I know a little church with a preacher who could hook us up right away / Love don't need a reason / Baby I don't see how I could love you more than I do today / Why wait?"

With 20 million albums sold and 11 No. 1 Billboard Country singles over the last decade, Rascal Flatts are one of the most successful bands in all of popular music today. Next year they will even receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

R&B newcomer Dondria turns the tables on the dating scene -- with help from vocalist Johnta Austin -- with her new song 'Shawty Was Up.'

As the song's confident, tick-tock rhythm struts by, Dondria lets would-be suitors know she doesn't need them to take care of her: "I don't need you to by me a drink / Got my own cash and I got my own crew / So tell me what you drink / Baby I'll buy it for you."

The bass throbs along under her sultry lead vocals as Dondria then decides who she's going to take home tonight: "Shawty wus up / Tell me how you want it / Swawty was up / Imma put it on you tonight."

Ciara urgently and repeatedly calls for dance-floor shaking bass on 'Gimme Dat,' the second single from her forthcoming album 'Basic Instinct.'

'Gimme Dat' looks certain to follow 'Ride' -- Ciara's recent Top 10 R&B smash hit collaboration with Ludacris -- to the high reaches of the charts.

The lyrics are pretty direct: "Got them speakers burnin' up / Gimme gimme gimme gimme that bass." Luckily for Ciara, the song delivers the low end in large amounts, together with a hyperkinetic drum beat that's sure to be blasting out of radios all across the country this summer.
