Just days after using a lyric video to announce ‘The Man’ as the new single from her 2019 album, ‘Lover’ (as we reported here), Taylor Swift‘s lifted the lid on a live music video for the tune.

A fierce feminist anthem, the song’s managed to climb to the #23 position on the Hot 100 on the strength of streams and digital downloads alone.  Now shipped to radio and with two Youtube videos to aid, ‘Man’ could not only become her newest chart-topper but could also see her break a longstanding tie with Queen of Pop Madonna for most top 20 hits among females (click here to read more about that).

In lieu of new music, Rihanna fans (affectionately called #TheNavy) are holding tight to her mountain of former hits as evidenced by the tunes’ ongoing buoyancy on real-time digital platform charts.

Already christened the “Queen of Digital Downloads” for over a decade-long domination of iTunes, Amazon, and other digital music retailers, the weekend served reminder the Grammy winner’s digital reign also extends to streaming when she laid claim to yet another title thanks to her 2016 hit, ‘This Is What You Came For’ (led by Calvin Harris).

Kehlani continues to use her music to keep it all sorts of real.

Case in point new song ‘Valentine’s Day (Shameful).’

Interestingly, the track arrives in super close proximity to her collab with YG – ‘Konclusions,’ a song neither of the former couple plugged when it dropped on Valentine’s.

Now, it seems apparent why. For, on ‘Shameful,’ K takes aim at a lover she helped who she feels tried to use their relationship for a come-up.

Upon dropping the rack moments ago, the singer said:

“a lot to say a lot to feel. sh*t happens life really happens u jus gotta stay pure and move with love and thank god you are one of the ones that do.”

Things that make you hmm. Take a listen below…

It’s all about me takes on a new meaning as revealed by R&B songstress Mya in her new music video.

Preceded by a wide report she had walked down the aisle (as we reported here), it appears the revelation was actually a tease for the visual for ‘The Truth’ in which the 40-year-old marries…herself.

A continuation of her tradition of releasing new music to commemorate Valentine’s Day, the annual holiday serves dual purpose for the diva as the time frame also rings as the anniversary of the premiere of her debut single, 1998’s ‘It’s All About Me.’
