If sales and streaming charts are any indication, fans of Camila Cabello (better known as #Camilizers) have certainly fallen in love with content from ‘Romance’ – the Pop singer’s soon-to-come sophomore album.

As her sizzling Shawn Mendes duet, the chart-topping ‘Senorita,’ continues its run in the top 5 months after its release, she’s looking to see her newest solo efforts – ‘Liar’ and ‘Shameless’ – join it in the Hot 100’s upper rankings.  Both making their debuts on the tally this week, of the duo of tunes – which saw their respective music videos unveiled shortly after they were officially released – the more radio-friendly ‘Liar’ is seemingly taking the lead in the race to the top.

Granted, its cinematic Dave Meyers-music video and Latin-inspired musical composition akin to the singer’s inaugural hit, ‘Havana,’ didn’t exactly hurt.  Look inside to see just where they premiered on the Hot 100 and check out who made the top 25 on this week’s edition of ‘Chart Check.’

Daycare and restaurant owner, Valencia Love, rocked headlines in February when she paid $100,000 to help her ‘friend’ R. Kelly bond out of a Chicago jail after he was arrested for multiple counts of sexual abuse and indecency with minors (click here to read more).

Her efforts quickly proved futile, however, as the Grammy winner was arrested again just days later – this time for unpaid child support.  Despite singing a few sad songs about his financial status, Kelly was able to post bail again only to be detained by New York authorities on federal charges in July (click here to read more on that).

Due to the quick turnaround of 52-year-old’s reincarceration, Love petitioned a Cook County judge for a refund of her six figure contribution to this freedom.  The official decision was handed Tuesday (September 17) and it’s pretty safe to say Valencia probably wasn’t pleased.

Fantasia is hot on the promo trail to ensure her October 11th-due new album, ‘Sketchbook,’ sees her name penciled atop R&B charts upon its release.

Most recently taking to New York to visit The Breakfast Club to dish on it being her first effort as an independent artist and so much more (click here if you missed it), Fannie preceded the appearance with a slew of interviews to discuss the LP and what fans can expect from it.  Already letting them down with news Jazmine Sullivan and Brandy will not appear (as we previously reported), the 35-year-old is opting to focus on the upside by sharing the positive aspects of this era of her musical journey.
