MTV announced Thursday that Adele, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne will each perform at its annual Video Music Awards in August. This will mark the first VMA performance for Adele, who is up for multiple awards, including Video of the Year, for her chart-topping single, ‘Rolling in the Deep.’

For the first time in seven years, music sales have posted an increase -- and the surprising charge is being led by Adele, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry. The pop trio boasts the top-selling albums of 2011, with Adele's '21' coming out on top with 2.52 million copies sold, Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' in second with 1.54 million units, and Katy Perry boasting more than five million in digital singles sa
