  • iLoveMakonnen Performed 'Tuesday' on 'The Tonight Show' [WATCH]

    Drake label OVO signee Makonnen Sheran, professionally known as iLoveMakonnen, made his television debut last night, Dec. 9, coincidently or not on a Tuesday, to perform his smash single "Tuesday." Accompanied by The Roots but not Drake, iLoveMakonnen crooned through the Grammy-nominated single with his unique, slightly raspy delivery for the audience on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." ILoveMakonnen gets into the Christmas spirit by wearing a Santa hat for his performance and bathing the stage in red light, via "Complex." The performance comes on the heels of the announcement that "Tuesday" was nominated for Best Rap Performance alongside Drake in their remix of "Tuesday." The Atlanta singer/rapper is now 25 and has been tabbed by many publications as an artist to watch out for following his EP "I Love Makonnen." "Tuesday" has inspired other remixes, including an unofficial one from "Mr. Steal Your Girl" Trey Songz and Chris Brown. It has become a club smash, notably on Tuesdays, and another song that has become a pop-culture phrase. While the track may actually speak to the struggle that many may face working graveyard shifts on the weekend just to make ends meet, "Tuesday" has also come to represent the everyday partygoers who hit the clubs every night.

Lorde also discusses the recording and release of "Royals," telling the story of how she stuck to her convictions and released the track despite the meddling of a label, via "Consequence of Sound."

    Jimmy Fallon has announced that U2 will be taking on a weeklong residency at The Tonight Show starting Monday, Nov.17.

Luckily for U2 and Fallon, the Metallica performances won't overlap as Ferguson's show has a different timeslot.
