Nick Jonas was unquestionably one of 2015’s breakout stars.

Cranking out multiple top 10 hits with his inaugural project (see:  ‘Jealous,’ ‘Teacher,’ and more), the former Jonas Brothers beau saw his first solo set shoot his social star into the stratosphere and bring with it a number of television and endorsement opportunities.

Now, after much demand from fans, the pop heartthrob is turning his attention back to music by announcing the follow-up to his self-titled debut.  Bringing rappers Big Sean, Ty Dolla $ign, and more along for the ride, tuck in below for the surprise news that has Nick’s beloved followers in quite the frenzy:

Already marred by accusations of empty seats and emptier performances, Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI Tour’ was another devastating blow moments ago.

Chart-topper The Weeknd has dropped out from the international leg of the trek – before the first show.

Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ is soaring to success as far as chart positions are concerned.

Alas, when one takes a closer look at its sales, it becomes pretty apparent that album and its supporting era is struggling to keep up with her earlier efforts.

So, should the star’s fans be in dire need of good news they’ll be elated to learn that her ‘Loud’ era is still producing hit singles… almost five years after its release.

Iggy Azalea‘s ‘Digital Distortion‘ era made a splash on late night on the airwaves hours ago.

She took to the stage on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ where she performed the album’s leading number ‘Team.’

More determined than ever to put her mistakes of yesteryear behind her, the rap star rocked the stage with help from a ‘Team’ of dancers with hopes it will push ‘Digital’ to impressive heights on a sales tip when it arrives at retailers.

Watch her in action after the jump…

rih-mig-thatgrapejuice

Whether a fan or critic of Rihanna, the common consensus is that ‘Kiss It Better’ serves as one of the strongest tracks on her polarizing new album ‘ANTI.’

Jury’s out on whether the song – which she was supposed to perform at the Grammys before pulling out – is the follow-up to chart-topper ‘Work.’

What is certain, though, is that R&B crooner Miguel has cooked up a remix of synth-heavy number which he has previewed.

ariana grande rihanna hot 100 thatgrapejuice

Rihanna is not playing with ’em on the charts it seems.

Indeed, after watching her 8th album, ‘Anti,’ reascend to the Billboard 200’s perch this week, the singer continues to fend off stiff competition on the Hot 100 side of the pond as well.  Working her way to a 5th week atop the chart with her latest Drake-assisted hit ‘Work,’ the dual occupancy of the charts’ top spots comes as quite the Rih-peat for the songstress (who achieved a similar feat with her last set ‘Unapologetic’ and its gem ‘Diamonds’).

But, before she gets too comfortable, danger of dethronement may come courtesy of ‘Dangerous Woman’ wailer Ariana Grande.  After a well-received stint as host/musical guest on ‘SNL’ recently, ‘Woman,’ the official lead single/title track from her forthcoming third album, makes an impressive debut aboard the singles chart’s upper dectet this week.  A feat, as originally reported here, which solidifies her position in history books as the first and only artist to debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100 with the lead single from his or her first three albums.
