The veteran and the newcomer released their projects – ‘The Buffet’ and ‘This Thing Called Life’ – yesterday. And following their very public comments, all eyes are on how said LP’s are set to perform in the marketplace.
Wonder no more though, because the first sales projections are in. Without further ado…
August Alsina bares his emotions in earnest on stirring new single ‘Song Cry.’

Whose fashion slayed? You be the judge?
Adele may be the name on everyone’s lips now, but if there is to be any other person we can say had ‘the best year ever,’ it would be The Weeknd.
The Canadian crooner not only topped the Hot 100 back-to-back with hits ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ and ‘The Hills,’ but also hoisted their parent album, ‘Beauty Behind the Madness,’ to equal height on the Billboard 200. Making history as the first solo male artist to simultaneously top the Artist 100, Hot 100, and Billboard 200, his continued domination of the charts this week saw him add yet another history-making feat to a wildly growing list of accomplishments.
Find out what it is below:
Grammy winning music superstars Lionel Richie and Adele both took their respective megahits, ‘Hello,’ to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 over 30 years apart. But, if what Richie reports is true, they may be sharing a spot on that very chart soon.

On this #FBF we’ll press play on ‘I’m Your Angel,’ the unlikely pairing of R&B bad boy R. Kelly and powerhouse vocalist Celine Dion. Written and produced by Kelly, the touching tune – lifted from his chart-topping third studio album ‘R.’ – came as quite the unexpected departure from the power-pop ballads that lined Dion’s repertoire (see: ‘My Heart Will Go On’ which dominated charts the year prior). In Kelly’s case, the departure – while not as unexpected – was certainly a welcomed retreat from his standard sexualized fare.
Regardless, fans welcomed ‘Angel’ with open ears, arms, and wallets as the tune soared to #1 on the Hot 100 and enjoyed its second week on the perch this week in 1998 (and wasn’t dethroned until 5 weeks later by Brandy‘s ‘Have You Ever’). Tuck in below for your flight down memory lane and see what other familiar faces you see lining the top 25 this week in 1998.
…and we thought the #Beyhive were the ones not to mess with!
It looks like Meek Mill is still being penalized for his infractions against Drake as the Canadian emcee’s fans have taken to the legal system to continue their assault.
As if an unforgiving Twitter dragging during the height of the rappers’ beef wasn’t enough, Mill may be headed back to jail all courtesy of some phone calls to prosecutors placed by Drizzy’s loyal followers.
