Beyoncé left her stamp on 2011 with the release of her fourth solo album 4, headlining performance at Glastonbury, and pregnancy announcement. The R&B diva shared one of her performances from London, which was filmed earlier in the year, during “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” special. Reminisce on B’s big year with the Diane Warren-penned ballad “I Was Here.”

Justin Credible’s “Incredible 11 of 2011”
2011 will be known as the year of planking, the year when people turned in their BlackBerry in for an iPhone (RIP Steve Jobs), the year we lost musical greats Amy Winehouse and Heavy D and the year when Jay-Z and Beyonce produced an heir to the throne. 2011 also marked a great year in music.
Since everyone is doing a top-something-of-2011 post, I thought it would only be right and put our two cents in and give you the eleven albums/mixtapes that I vibed with in twenty eleven. Some of the projects you may be surprised with and some you may already have on your list but whatever the cause is check what I found post-worthy after the jump.
