YouTube is partnering with several artists and labels on a music video promotion called MyYouTube.

The initiative is a contest to see which artist can get the most fans to subscribe to their YouTube channel. Starting today through Feb. 5, artists will get points for every new fan that subscribes to their YouTube channel and share with friends from the MyYouTube site.

On Feb. 5, the five artists with the greatest number of points will be featured on a special YouTube masthead. The masthead has the added feature of allowing fans to subscribe to channels featured in it directly, without having to leave the homepage. As videos featured on YouTube’s homepage see significantly more traffic that others, this is great promotional placement for the winning artists.

More than 50 artists are involved in the effort and have recorded videos encouraging their fans to get involved. They include Rihanna, Kanye West, Lenny Kravitz, Justin Bieber, OK Go and more.

The benefit for artists is obvious. According to the YouTube, the first 24 hours of any newly posted video is streamed almost 100% by subscribers who receive alerts about the new posting.

So adorable!

Rihanna is now under Jay-Z’s umbrella.

The Grammy-winning pop singer has parted ways with manager Marc Jordan and is now being managed by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Management.

Rihanna told The Associated Press in a statement Wednesday that she’s “so excited to take this next step in my career.”

The 22-year-old is also launching a new company called Rihanna Entertainment. She says it will “merge all of her businesses, including music, film, fragrance fashion and book ventures.”

Jay-Z signed Rihanna to Def Jam in 2005. The two won a Grammy in 2008 for the hit song “Umbrella.” Earlier this year, the pair picked up two Grammys for the rap song “Run This Town,” which also featured Kanye West.

She’s released four albums and plans to release her fifth CD, “Loud,” on Nov. 16.

Thanks, Lu!

After the success of her collaboration with Eminem, Rihanna’s label is calling up the producer behind the No. 1 record to cook up another hit for her next album.

Alex Da Kid, who produced Rihanna’s duet with Eminem, “Love the Way You Lie,” tells Billboard that Island Def Jam is hungry for another smash for their star’s new album.

“We worked together about a year before ‘Love the Way You Lie’ in London, and obviously that song has helped the people around her and her label say, ‘Oh, that’s a big hit, we want another one,’” says the Londoner. “You know how the music industry is.”

The in-demand hitmaker, who’s recently been in the studio with Avril Lavigne, describes RiRi’s new music as a combination of her past work.

“I’d say it’s like a mixture of her two sides. It’s commercial, but at the same time it’s got an edge to it—it has substance.”
