As predicted here, Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande‘s hit single ‘Stuck With U’ may have set a milestone for 2020 by becoming the first song of the year to amass 100,000 units in one-week pure sales, but those figures – largely padded by bundling and other strategic methods – were not available to assist with its second week’s tracking.

After a number of buzz singles, Katy Perry‘s fifth official era kicked off with the release of ‘Daisies.’

Penned by Perry herself, The Monsters & Strangerz-produced tune received the red carpet roll-out upon its May 15 premiere with an aggressive week of promo that followed including live performances on ‘American Idol,’ Amazon Music, and ‘Good Morning America’ as well as an onslaught of interviews in its support (click here to watch).

Though 6 years separated Christina Aguilera fans – affectionately called #Fighters – from her 2012 album, ‘Lotus,’ and its follow-up, ‘Liberation,’ the GRAMMY-winning belter promised there wouldn’t be nearly as long a gap for the latter’s successor.

In fact, while hot on the promotion for the 2018 LP she revealed she had already begun sorting through material to line the yet-titled opus (click here to read more).  Nearly two years later, with her live experiences scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic (as we reported here), Aguilera took to social media recently to report her focus has re-shifted to putting the finishing touches on what will be her 7th studio album.

Despite being a convicted sex offender and panned cultural appropriator,  Tekashi 6ix9ine is promoting the cancellation of fellow rapper chart-topping rapper Doja Cat for allegedly committing similar crimes.

However, during her speech she made a comment that rubbed 6ix9ine the wrong way.

The highly anticipated Jagged Edge vs. 112 battle on the wildly popular #Verzuz platform may have made history for being its first ever group vs. group showdown, but – like many combatants before them – the encounter was plagued with technical issues, namely on J.E.’s part.

As a result, the duo are enforcing new rules to ensure such never happens again.
