A dream collaboration on paper, the blissful reality was rendered ever better with the help of ‘Scream’s award-winning video – the most expensive in history.  Going on to surpass the platinum mark and be marked a fan favorite among both stars’ respective catalogs, look inside to remember the magic that was ‘Scream’ (and see who joined the song in the top 25 this week 23 years ago):

Future‘s career-long chart run (on the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 respectively) since his 2012 debut, ‘Pluto,’ has been out of this world to say the least.

On the Billboard 200 front the rapper’s seen all six of his studio efforts and both of his “retail mixtapes” debut in the tally’s top 10 upon their releases, five of them hitting #1.  In fact, to date the hitmaker (born Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn) remains the first and only act to top the chart over two consecutive weeks with two different albums.

And, while his placements on main album chart is his overall crowning glory, his mentions on the Billboard Hot 100 are certainly nothing to shake a stick at. Thanks to a plethora of guest starring appearances and a copious flow of releases as a lead act, Wilburn’s cemented his name in history books as the fifth-longest charting streak ever on the main singles chart thanks to the departure of the Kendrick Lamar-led single ‘Kings Dead’ (which features Future and Jay Rock) this week. Ending a 166 consecutive week run, only fellow rappers Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj, and singer Rihanna have spent longer spells on the Hot 100.

As we extend our congratz to the Atlanta star, click inside to see who did appear in the top 25 of the Hot 100 in our weekly segment ‘TGJ Chart Check:  Hot 100’:

Last month Janet Jackson set the stage on fire at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards with her first televised performance in over nine years.

And the platform was oh so apt, for the superstar was being rightfully honored with the Icon Award at the ceremony.

Showcasing her scorching dynamism, the diva earned praise aplenty for her offering.

However, many fans were irked by the camera angles used on the broadcast which seemed to cut to the audience every a key piece of choreography was performed (case in point ‘If’ dance-break). So much so that and “fan-edits” of the performance were created and shared online using audience footage.

Well, for those wanting a closer look at the intricate details of Jackson’s showing, her photographer/videographer has obliged by sharing her rehearsal from every angle possible.

Check out Jackson and her J-Tribe slaying after the jump…
