Congratulations appear to be in order for Mr. Blige, who, according to Queen Mary's new single, receives not just round-the-clock loving but bonus time too – 25 hours a day, eight days a week. It's goopy stuff, but it's also far more neck-poppin' fun than Beyoncé's "1+1."

Listen to "25/8":

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
