Whether a fan or critic of Rihanna, the common consensus is that ‘Kiss It Better’ serves as one of the strongest tracks on her polarizing new album ‘ANTI.’

Jury’s out on whether the song – which she was supposed to perform at the Grammys before pulling out – is the follow-up to chart-topper ‘Work.’

What is certain, though, is that R&B crooner Miguel has cooked up a remix of synth-heavy number which he has previewed.

Rihanna is not playing with ’em on the charts it seems.

Indeed, after watching her 8th album, ‘Anti,’ reascend to the Billboard 200’s perch this week, the singer continues to fend off stiff competition on the Hot 100 side of the pond as well.  Working her way to a 5th week atop the chart with her latest Drake-assisted hit ‘Work,’ the dual occupancy of the charts’ top spots comes as quite the Rih-peat for the songstress (who achieved a similar feat with her last set ‘Unapologetic’ and its gem ‘Diamonds’).

But, before she gets too comfortable, danger of dethronement may come courtesy of ‘Dangerous Woman’ wailer Ariana Grande.  After a well-received stint as host/musical guest on ‘SNL’ recently, ‘Woman,’ the official lead single/title track from her forthcoming third album, makes an impressive debut aboard the singles chart’s upper dectet this week.  A feat, as originally reported here, which solidifies her position in history books as the first and only artist to debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100 with the lead single from his or her first three albums.

Curious about how your other faves of the day fared on the refreshed chart?  Tuck in below to find out:

Azealia Banks caught up with her friends over at ‘Vice’ recently as she continues to build new material for her LP ‘Business & Pleasure’ and the release of her first movie ‘Coco.’

Fortunately, the insightful interview saw her given the opportunity to explain a number of the ideas she has come under fire for.

Alas, it doesn’t come without its controversy.

Why? Her opinion on the privileges handed to the “white gays”…and her relationship with the occult.

The countdown is on for Kelly Rowland.

April 5th brings with it the debut of her BET talent-search ‘Chasing Destiny.’

The solo Grammy winner has paired up with renown creative Frank Gatson for the project, which sets out to piece together music’s next big girl group.

Billed as a docu-series with its own unique twist, the show does away with the pomp and pageantry of many singing competitions and instead embraces a raw approach which stresses the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to make it in the cut-throat business of music.

Ahead of the series premiere, an extended preview has been released.
