Peter travels to Primatech Paper in Texas with his new friend to destroy the virus, which will kill 93 percent of the world’s population in the future — or so he believes. Niki returns to Micah with bad news. To right a wrong, Monica puts her abilities to the test while Hiro goes after his father’s killer. Meanwhile, Matt uses his mental abilities to track down the last person in the company photo. In addition, Nathan learns his brother is alive. Outside of New York, Maya must choose between Alejandro and Sylar.

It sucks that because of the writer's strike, there are only two episodes left. Last night's episode was simply one of the best ever and next week's episode looks like it's going to take things to a whole another level.

I personally want Mohinder shot dead but whether that's actually going to happen nobody knows. One can only hope.

"As I Am" Sells Over 720,000 Copies Scoring Alicia Keys Her 4th #1 Album

With Turkey Day upon us, Alicia Keys provides the trimmings.

Coming off a scintillating American Music Awards perf, the J Records superstar provides plenty of reason for Clive Davis and company to give thanks with the year’s second-biggest debut week, with As I Am bowing at #1, scoring an impressive 723k in sales.

Only Kanye West’s Graduation has done better in 2007, with 930k in first-week sales back in September. Two weeks ago, the Eagles bowed on the HITS Top 50 with 707k.

Reprise’s Josh Groban catapults to #2 with Noel, up an amazing 90% to 229k.

Celine Dion makes her first album for Columbia a successful one as Taking Chances bows at #3 with 207k.

EMI’s Now 26 at #4 with 204k and Rhino/Atlantic’s Led Zeppelin Mothership compilation at #7 with 134k, are the week’s two other Top 10 newcomers.

Pearl Records’ Garth Brooks (#5), Wal-Mart’s exclusive Eagles album (#6), last week’s chart-topper, Roc-A-Fella/IDJ’s Jay-Z (#8), Arista Nashville’s Carrie Underwood (#9) and Jive/ZLG’s Chris Brown (#10) are the Top 10 holdovers.

All 10 albums sold more than 100k, and that’s the first time that’s occurred since, well, last year at this time.

Double-digit gainers include American Gramaphone’s Fontana-distribbed Mannheim Steamroller (#25-17, +83%), Disney’s Hannah Montana 2 (#19-15, +54%), Decca’s Andrea Bocelli (#19, +37%), Disney’s High School Musical 2 (#13, +30%) and 1 (#44, +29%), Atlantic’s Matchbox Twenty (#41, +25%), Disney’s Hannah Montana (#47, +21%), Universal Republic’s Colbie Caillat (#20, +15%), Geffen’s Keyshia Cole (#26, +11%) and RCA/RMG’s triple AMA winner Daughtry (#48, +10%).

Hitting stores today and the charts next week with Black Friday in their sights are Jive/ZLG’s Idol winner Jordin Sparks, Capitol’s Keith Urban, Interscope’s OneRepublic, Roc-A-Fella/IDJ’s Freeway and Universal Republic’s release of the first Amy Winehouse album. [x]

Wow. This woman is a beast. She topped the first week sales of her last two albums. With the holidays right around the corner I expect nothing but massive sales for Ms. Keys. Congrats.

Beyonce Goes Bluegrass At Music Awards

Beyonce went bluegrass in a surprise performance with country band Sugarland at the American Music Awards on Sunday night.

Even Ne-Yo was impressed.

"The bluegrass version," the R&B star said backstage while watching a monitor of Beyonce's performance of her hit "Irreplaceable" with Sugarland. "It ain't bad."

Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles said the idea was hatched by the country duo's publicist because they perform the song in their act.

"A good thing about a good song is it can be played in any genre," she said. "I'm up for anything. I love it."

Nettles said backstage that she was nervous going note-for-note with Beyonce.

"We were face to face, and there were a couple times when she was looking at me and I was blushing because I thought I was going to turn to stone in her beauty," Nettles said. "She is so talented and so grounded."

Nettles' musical partner Kristian Bush was witness to it all.

"I was the luckiest man," he said. [x]

Beyonce was also presented with the International Award (Legend Award) becoming the first African American female to win the award. You can check out her acceptance speech here.

Kanye West Breaks Down During Concert In Paris

Just a week after the death of his mother, Donda, Kanye West launched a European tour in Paris on Saturday, but broke down after performing for an hour, according to People.com.

Toward the end of the hour-long show at Le Zenith, as "Hey Mama" began, West attempted to introduce the song, saying, "This song is for my mother ... " but could not continue, the magazine reported.

"He said the word, 'Mother,' and just couldn't go any further," Le Parisien journalist Meddy Magloire told the magazine. "A back-up singer, the DJ and a guitar player came over to console him. It looked like he might collapse. He just couldn't continue. He just stood there in a spotlight, crying, while the band continued playing." The song, from 2005's Late Registration, is a dedication to Donda.

After a few moments of stunned silence, Magloire said, the audience offered shouts of encouragement, which grew into applause.

West reportedly restarted the song but was unable to finish. He left the stage, returning after 10-15 minutes to conclude the concert with "Stronger," the magazine reported.

"He was very nervous, seemed to have gathered himself up, and had a lot of energy," Magloire told People. "He kept shouting out to the audience, 'I need you ... I need you right now.' and the public was screaming back. It was magic."
