Diddy–Dirty Money + Lloyd and Tyga

Roseland Ballroom; Wed 13

With two No. 2 singles—and three more in the Top 10—Ke$ha unquestionably owned 2010. But this year, Britney Spears is back with a strong new album that threatens to relegate the “TiK ToK” singer (along with her post-Britney dance-pop peers) to second-banana status. Consider it a sign of Ke$ha’s market savvy that she managed to snag a cowriting credit on “Till the End of the World,” the stadium-disco stomper that opens Brit’s Femme Fatale. We probably won’t be lucky enough to hear Ke$ha’s take on that gem tonight, but reports from the road indicate that she’s closing shows on her first headlining trek—it’s called the Get $leazy Tour—with the Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!).” Sounds about right.

TOTALLY ’80S A Duet of ’80s Powerhouses Once upon a time, Tiffany and Debbie Gibson were two of the biggest pop icons on the planet. That time: not now. Regardless, this one-night-only duet may still be a watershed musical moment. Either that, or the easiest Where Are They Now story ever. 411: Jan 22, 8pm, Canal Room, 285 W Broadway, 212-941-8100, tickets here
