16 weeks is how long newcomer Lil Nas X has held the racehorse that is ‘Old Town Road’ ahead of the competition on the Hot 100.

Keeping the likes of serial hitmakers Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, Drake, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and many more at bay with the megahit, the steam behind the 20-year-old’s breakout tune has been a mix of controversy, record breaking streaming, and a sh*t ton of remixes (including a new version featuring BTS‘s RM).

Renaming the joint ‘Seoul Town Road,’ in reference to the South Korean capital city of Seoul (where BTS first came together), the move may be just what X needs to edge past Mariah Carey (‘One Sweet Day’) and Luis Fonsi (‘Despacito’) to nab the title for ‘longest run at #1 in Billboard Hot 100 history.’

As we wait with bated breath to find out, look inside to hear the umpteenth remix of ‘Road’ and see who joins Lil Nas in the top 25 on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:

The number of times Ciara has mentioned or even referred to Bow Wow in an interview since their 2006 breakup can probably be counted on one hand (with fingers to spare), but that certainly hasn’t stopped the rapper/actor from name-dropping the ‘Body Party’ diva on the regular.

Just a little over a year ago Bow (born Shad Moss) revealed how regretful he was for letting their romance ‘crumble’ (click here to read more on that), but now – footage from a recent club visit reveals – he’s calling her a ‘b*tch.’

After being slammed on social media for days for the derogatory remark, ‘Queen of All Media’ Wendy Williams recently called him out for the unnecessary and rather random diss.  Hear what she had to say inside:

Chris Brown landed himself in hot water weeks ago when a lyric from ‘Stack,’ one of the gems found aboard his latest #1 album, ‘Indigo,’ was highlighted by fans and critics alike as controversial for the implication of colorism (click here to read more).

“Only wanna f**k the black b*tches with the nice hair,” he sang on the now infamous song that also features rappers Lil Wayne and Joyner Lucas.

While his defense of the line only added fuel to the fire, others – like longtime friend Kelly Rowland – also got burned in the process for their perceived endorsement of the embattled 30-year-old.  During the height of the melee, Rowland took to social media to say, ‘We love you, Chris.’  The show of support riled up detractors who, in turn, set their sights on the ‘Motivation’ maestra.

Now that the heat has cooled, Rowland took to OK! magazine to clear up any confusion around her supportive statement.  Click below to hear what she had to say about this, ‘The Lion King,’ and so much more.
