Jet has posted a sneak preview of their new album Shine On on the band's MySpace page, after a snafu at the iTunes Music Store accidentally put the record on sale a few weeks early. According to Rolling Stone, the U.K. version of the iTMS did not set the album up for "pre-order" and temporarily allowed users to access the album for free. In response, Jet has posted two new songs, "Stand Up" and the title track, on MySpace. Shine On will arrive in stores on October 3, and radio stations around the country will air FMQB Productions' inside look at the album over the weekend of September 29.Despite not attending the ceremony, Beyoncé was the big winner at the MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) Awards in London yesterday.

However, reports say that the crowed booed after the third award was announced because Beyoncé was expected to attend, or at least have recorded a thank-you in advance. Organizers say Beyoncé was in France yesterday. Other winners included the Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, Sean Paul and Rihanna.
