Tuesday 05.29:

And Ne-Yo's live in the studio for you too. Plus, we have Common's latest video. And special guests Dane Cook, star of the very freaky-deaky-looking new movie Mr. Brooks, and Seth Rogen, from Knocked Up, stop by.

Wednesday 05.30:
You know you can't stop singing it. Hell, you're probably even singing it right now. And you'll probably start singing along as Daddy Yankee performs "Impacto" live. Plus Mario's here with a 1st Look at his new video, "How Do I Breathe." And, as if that weren't enough, we bring you the brand-new My Chemical Romance video, "Teenagers." Ahh, there's never been a better time to be young!

Thursday 05.31:
We pull the curtain back on the video for Green Day's cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero." And, Sum 41's here with a 1st Look at their newest video, "Underclass Hero."

Friday 06.01:
Fabolous is in the house with a 1st Look at his new video, "Make Me Better," which happens to feature Ne-Yo, so it's like a two-fer. And... you voted for it on TRL. You heard it all season long on Idol. Now you can hear Daughtry perform "Home" and his breakthrough hit "It's Not Over" live. Oh. And who's here to hang out and wrap up Spankin' New Music Week? Gym Class Heroes (insert freak-out here). Oh yes, it's gonna be that good.
