The combination of songbird Tweet and rapper/producer Missy Elliott has birthed some of our favorite R&B jams over the past 20 years (see:  ‘Pussycat,’ ‘Oops! Oh My,’ ‘Turn the Lights Off,’ etc).

Now, as fans continue to celebrate the forthcoming release of ‘Charlene’ (February 26) – the singer’s first official LP in 10 years – they’re being greeted with news of the duo’s long awaited reunion.

Courtesy of eOne Nashville, the two have teamed up for the sassy ode to “love gone wrong” titled ‘Somebody Else Will.’ Tuck in below for your first listen and opportunity to add the song to your collection:

Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ has been rocked by more bad news.

If you thought Beyonce‘s ‘Super Bowl 50’ drama had cooled by any means, your thoughts are every flavor of wrong.

The songstress, set to kick off her highly anticipated ‘Formation’ stadium tour at April’s end, is still very much a hot topic courtesy of her recent halftime show outing (deemed by many as racially provocative and anti-police).  In fact, in addition to a number of viewers hopping on to the #BoycottBeyonce train, some cities’ police forces are banding together to boycott the singer’s security detail when she touches down in their area.

Two cities seeming to make the most noise are Floridian metros Tampa and Miami.  While reports indicated the former’s police were set to skip out on security when she visits on April 29th, the latter were said to be on the fence…

It appears ‘Sausage’ rapstress Lil Mama has beef with internet haters and looks to take square aim at them via the video for her new single ‘Memes.’

Lifted from her December EP ‘Take Me Back,’ the tune, courtesy of a Malu-directed video, addresses her viral crying meme (lifted from her 2011 ‘Breakfast Club’ interview).  Even including an excerpt from the infamous interview to kick off the clip, the video also pays homage to Biggie Smalls’ 1997 hit ‘Kick in the Door.’

While some artists are struggling to book a stage at Walmart, Beyonce has firmly established herself as a tour de force.

Soul-filled songstress Jazmine Sullivan didn’t walk away with any awards (again) at this year’s Grammy ceremony. But she needn’t fret. Because, as one of today’s top R&B performers, she’s always a winner.

Case in point her knockout performance of ‘Masterpiece’ this morning on ‘Kelly & Michael.’

A favorite from the singer’s critically acclaimed third album, ‘Reality Show,’ both Sullivan and the song are likely to have picked up a horde of new fans after this showing.

Has Zayn Malik’s ‘Pillowtalk’ been laid to rest already?  If Justin Bieber‘s recent sales & streaming performances have anything to do with it, the answer just may be “yes.”

As reported last week, Zayn zoomed to #1 with his official debut solo single on the wings of over 250,000 downloads and impressive streaming figures.  This week, however, sings a different tune as it appears fans have fallen asleep on ‘Pillowtalk’ – proof of such is found in its staggering drop down the top 10.

And, while Bieber has regained grip of the top spot with his latest hit ‘Love Yourself,’ he certainly has his work cut out for him if he plans to stay there.  For, without the assistance of any live performances or promotional music videos, Rihanna’s comeback single – ‘Work’ (featuring Drake) – is making a beeline to the top as it hops right into the top 5.

See exactly where she and all of your favorite stars from today landed on this week’s Hot 100 chart check:

Not even the likes of Rihanna and her faithful #Navy could hold rapper Future back from the wave of success he’s riding.

On a serious roll, as a reported here, Ciara‘s baby daddy is now the proud parent of a new #1 album (his third in a year).  Titled ‘Evol,’ the surprise release was greeted with sales of 139,000 (108,000 pure sales) – a response that slid him right to the top of the Billboard 200.

However, as the chart’s reveal, Future wasn’t Ri’s only woe.  Thanks to a resurgence in sales from ‘Hello’ hitmaker Adele, the Bajan beauty found herself even further down the tally than expected.

Adele revealed she cried after an audio error botched her Grammy performance this week. But there were no tears to be shed today on ‘Ellen.’

Undoubtedly out to prove a point, the vocal powerhouse once again belted out the Bruno Mars penned ‘All I Ask’ – and, this time, blew the roof off the studio.

Clear, confident, and in control, the British songstress reminded why hers is a voice that commands both attention and respect.

Watch her wow below, where a performance of ‘When We Were Young’ also awaits…
