Other awards handed out last night were “Song of the Year honors for Beyonces “Irreplaceable and the BMI Icon Award for The Jackson 5 represented through Marlon, Randy, Tito, Jackie in addition to Janet and LaToya.

In related news, T-Pains third solo disc Thr33 Ringz is inching closer to release and SOHH recently caught up with the auto-tune supersatar to find out the meaning behind the albums title.

“The Thr33 Ringz concept is cause the industry is just like a circus, he explained to SOHH. “You got the strong men, tattooed dudes, bearded ladies, elephants, tigers, all kinds of dumb crap.

Describing to SOHH what separates him from the rest of the pack Pain pointed to his awe inspiring resume. “I got the most number 1s, he said. “Im not just saying that. Its really on the charts.

I got 11 number ones [in one year]. In the history of time, The Beatles got 13. So if I woulda got two more in that year I woulda beat The Beatles. Thats why Im the ringleader.

Thr33 Ringz is scheduled to hit stores this fall.
