Black Eyed Peas singer, Will.I.Am, will join Grammy-award-winning singer/songwriter John Legend and Chinese-American pop singers, like Coco Lee, to perform at a charity concert in Beijing.
The show is held to raise awareness for the 100,000 Strong Initiative, a government program to increase the number of US students sent to study in China. The Beijing concert will be raising funds specifically for students from Los Angeles. Other artists, including Chinese crossover singer Sa Dingding and Hong Kong pop singer/actress Karen Mok, will perform.
Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Watch The Throne," came second on the album list, followed by Paul Simon's "So Beautiful or So What" at No. 3, Fleet Foxes "Helplessness Blues" at No. 4 and Radiohead's eighth studio album "The King of Limbs" rounding out the top five.
Adele's song "Rolling In The Deep," was named the best single of 2011 by the magazine, as editors described it as the "breakup scorcher to beat all breakup scorchers."
Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Ni**as in Paris" clocked in at No. 2, while Britney Spears' "'Til The World Ends" made No. 3 on the list, Foo Fighters' "These Days" at No. 4 and Paul Simon's "Rewrite" at No. 5.
As well as compiling the album and singles lists, Rolling Stone editors also chose "Drive," starring Ryan Gosling, as the best film of 2011.
The full list will be available on newsstands and online on December 9.
