Is Lana Del Rey a liar?  Somebody over at Radiohead‘s camp seems to think so.

As we reported here, the Grammy-nominated songstress took to Twitter and even to the stage to slam the legendary rockers for suing her due to claims her song ‘Get Free’ (found on her latest chart-topping album ‘Lust for Life’) contained elements of their signature hit, ‘Creep.’  Fans of the group may know they were also sued for copyright infringement for the same song when 70’s rockers The Hollies claimed ‘Creep’ contained similar chord progressions as one of their hits.

The twist to all the hoop-la?  Reps for Radiohead say they’ve not sued Lana…yet.  Get the details inside:

After sailing to the top 3 of the Hot 100 with her breakthrough hit, ‘Havana,’ in November 2017, Camila Cabello has seen the Frank Dukes-produced cut be a mainstay in the chart’s upper quintet of positions (where it was found this week).

As the song maintains its buoyancy, Cabello’s already moving on to her next potential hit.  Coming courtesy of the tune ‘Never Be the Same,’ the singer/songwriter ended last year by unveiling its official accompanying music video (as seen here).  Now, it seems she’s ready to hit the live circuit in its support.

Taking to ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ for its inaugural live showing last night (Jan. 10), tuck in below to see how she fared:

Despite little push from Taylor Swift and team, her Ed Sheeran & Future-featured single – ‘End Game’ – has already ended up in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.  With a peak of #39 to date (where it’s found this week on the tally), the ‘Reputation’ cut has quickly become a fan favorite – a feat sure to be cemented once its Joseph Kahn-directed music video makes its debut.

Sending fans into a frenzy, Swift took to her official app to announce the clip would be hitting airwaves a lot sooner than they may have thought.  Look inside to find out when:

A week after its debut, ‘Finesse,’ the critically acclaimed collabo between Bruno Mars and rapstress Cardi B, remains the top-selling song in the USA.  Holding tight to the top spot on Stateside iTunes charts, it appears the song is looking to mirror that success on the Billboard Hot 100.

As we previously reported, the odd timing of the tune’s release [near the end of a tracking week] meant that it would hit the Hot 100 based on just one day of sales data.  That one day alone, however, has already made it a top 40 hit!  If that’s not enough, its unloosened grip on the top of sales charts – in conjunction with over 52.3 million Youtube streams and crowning the Spotify streaming charts (as of time reported) – make it a shoo-in for a top 5 next week. Dare we say it, the song may even unseat Ed Sheeran & Beyonce‘s 5 week chart champion, ‘Perfect.’ 

Until we find out for sure, tuck in below to see just where the song (this week’s only new top 40 entry) debuted on the current Hot 100:

Just days after unveiling his official, long-awaited debut single ‘Freedom’ (as we reported here), ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett has unleashed its stunning accompanying music video.

Directing the clip alongside revered choreographer/creative director Frank Gatson, Smollett tapped actresses Tika Sumpter and Cynthia Erivo as its stars to portray a loving couple who are simply enjoying every moment of life and each other.

Taking to our friends at Complex, Smollett beamed over the visual:

“This video is about love. I wanted to show two people doing the everyday things that every single couple does. I see nothing but beauty through the eyes of these characters we’ve created. I hope everyone else does as well. Love is freedom. Freedom is love. Enjoy!”

And “enjoy” is just what we did.  We know you will too:

Beautiful performance to say the least! We expect great things from Smollett!

It’s been six years since Keri Hilson released her last album and, in the time since then, the songbird has largely shunned the spotlight.

Promises of new music were made, but fans are still waiting.

Now, in an emotional appearance on The Steve Harvey Show, the singer-songwriter sheds light on why.

Hilson sat down with psychic medium Reginald Lewis, who tapped into worries that she later expanded on.
