Although it has been five years since The Black Album [click to read] was released "99 Problems" is expected to break into the Top 25 Downloads bracket for the mid-week UK single charts.

Also returning to the charts is "Encore" which broke into the Top 40.

Jay-Z along with coordinators of the festival received criticism from Noel Gallagher [click to read], a member of the English rock band Oasis, for choosing Jay-Z as a headlining act for what Gallagher considered to be a guitar-driven event although groups such as The Roots, Cypress Hill, and De La Soul have performed at the festival.
