UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.—December 21, 2009—Multi-platinum selling artist JAY-Z is set to perform with international superstar Rihanna during the countdown to 2010 on “NBC’s New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly.” The dynamic duo will once again team up on their Grammy Award winning song “Umbrella” giving their fans a New Year’s to remember. They will also be performing “Run This Town,” which is up for two Grammy Awards this year. This star studded musical line-up of Rihanna, JAY-Z and rock band Green Day has made NBC the only place to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
In addition to JAY-Z’s New Year’s Eve performance, fans will be treated to the first video of the decade with the exclusive world premiere of his highly anticipated music video, “On To The Next One,” from The Blueprint 3 album.

“The real star of any New Year’s Eve show is New York City and JAY-Z is New York,” said Daly. “Green Day and Rihanna were already an impressive line-up and now with the addition of JAY-Z, it’s our most exciting line-up yet.”
In 2008, 8.6 million viewers tuned in to watch “NBC’s New Year’s Eve With Carson Daly.” This special, which premiered in 2004, delivered its fourth straight year of gains scoring its biggest ratings results to date.

Jay is the bestest..total takeover of 2009! Mr. Carter dominated the game on so many levels in 2009.
I know 2010 he will get even more creative. I know JAY’s a record breaker. Lets see mr. Forbes get it in 2010.
ROCNATION BITCHES!!!!
Jay Z is mystical.
what a performence by you and rihanna at new years eve. the chemistry you both have is amazing. i’m a big fan of you and rihanna. advice to you get divorce and be with rihanna because the whole world can see how happy you are around her.rihanna and beyonce are both different but bee is very selfish and she seems only to care about herself. please don’t give her your name or don’t take her name. you appear to be miserable in your marital bliss and to me beyonce loves the fact your her husband but for all the wrong reasons. to make a song about putting a ring on it only shows that it was meant for you. divorce and be happy because life is too short to be living miserable. and to be honest bee is almost hitting 30 and she can’t move like before and her voice is not original. rihanna is the package deal. do it jay. i’ll continue to still be a fan of you and rihanna. peace out!!!!!!!
congrats on your grammy nomanation with rihanna!!! you guys match like bread and butter. beyonce seems to be a strange wife meaning all about herself what about you. look at p. diddy he has a young girlfriend. divorce now before she trap you and get pregnant and go with your heart and be with the one you want to be with and i know its rihanna.
I been a Jigga fan since 95!
Jayz is the king of ny
