Beyoncé set a record at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night as she won six trophies -- the most won by a female artist at a single event. Beyoncé earned the Song of the Year award for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)," and "Single Ladies" also yielded Grammys for Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Her other wins were for Best Contemporary R&B album with I Am ... Sasha Fierce, Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for her cover of "At Last" and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Halo." The Black Eyed Peas won three Grammys and also earning two Grammys each were Eminem, Lady Gaga, Maxwell. (more on Grammys here)

T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, Lil Jon, Cee-Lo and Big Boi will team with Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader and Andy Samberg as the voices of an upcoming Adult Swim animated movie. Freaknik: The Music will debut March 7 and pays tribute to the '90s Atlanta "Freaknik" annual event. "Back in the ’90s, Freaknik was Atlanta’s version of the ultimate block party," T-Pain said in a statement. "It was Mardi Gras meets spring break at your crazy cousin’s bachelor party and anything could happen. A decade later, I’m bringing it back for people like me, who didn’t get to experience it the first time around. We’ve recreated Freaknik’s vibe and energy with amazing animation, new music and an all-star cast of characters."

Usher's oft-delayed sixth studio album, Raymond V. Raymond, has a new release date: March 30. A number of singles have already been released from Raymond V. Raymond, with the video for his latest, "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" debuting this morning on MTV.

Also coming March 30 is Mariah Carey's remix album, Angels Advocate. The disc will feature new remixes and duets of songs from last year's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. Carey will release two new singles this week: a duet of "Angels Cry" with Ne-Yo and "Up Out My Face," featuring Nicki Minaj. Videos for both songs, directed by Carey with her husband, Nick Cannon, appeared online today. And speaking of the couple, Mariah recently prank called Nick's morning show at 92.3 NOW/New York, Rollin’ With Nick Cannon, and pretended to be "Debbie," a porn-obsessed housewife from Long Island. Audio of the whole prank can be heard on YouTube.

Mary J. Blige was honored on Wednesday night at the Essence Black Women in Music event in Hollywood. Blige was recognized not only for her music but also for her philanthropic work. "The biggest accomplishment of my career has been what happened in 2009, which was the opening of the Mary J. Blige Center in Yonkers [New York]," she told MTV News. "I've always wanted to open a center in Yonkers. I've always wanted to help women where women are abused, where I've seen women abused the most, and the founding of FFAWN [Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now] is a huge accomplishment for me because it's my dream come true to help women." Meanwhile, on Sunday at the Grammys, Blige and Andrea Bocelli will sing Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in a tribute to Haiti. It will be released as a charity single following the telecast. Lastly, on February 11, Blige will take the stage for a special performance during NBA All-Star Opening Night, benefiting the Mavs Foundation in Dallas. Blige will perform songs from her latest work, Stronger With Each Tear
