Despite being just 24-years old, JoJo has endured career highs and lows well beyond her years.

Indeed, after a meteoric rise following the release of her debut album (which she unleashed aged 12), the ascent came to a screeching halt following her 2006 sophomore set ‘The High Road.’

As widely reported, the seven years that followed saw her literally unable to sell new music until she won a legal battle with former label Blackground in 2013.

Liberated and with a new label home at Atlantic Records, the songbird is back and has hatched three new songs as part of an innovative “tringle” roll-out.

And though looking forward, the titan of a talent reminisces on some the more darker days on her journey in an insightful new interview with Rolling Stone. Check it out below..

As British boybands go, few achieved the level of success or omnipresence of JLS.

Two years on from the group’s split, its members are aiming to make a similar mark solo.

Lead vocalist Aston Merrygold is spearheading the charge after signing with Warner Bros and releasing debut solo single ‘Get Stupid’ earlier this Summer.

Well received critically, the track didn’t necessarily set the charts ablaze and peaked at #28 on home soil.

Undeterred, the dynamic performer – who has named his upcoming album ‘Show Stopper’ – snagged a slot on ‘The Late Late Show With James Corden’  last night and was sure to show up and show out.

Anticipation for Justin Bieber‘s new album continues to build as fans are just two weeks away from getting their hands and ears on Canadian crooner’s latest effort.

Titled ‘Purpose,’ the project – preceded by singles ‘Sorry,’ ‘Where Are U Now,’ and the #1 hit ‘What Do You Mean’ – is set for a November 13th release and already expected to make a grand premiere on the Billboard 200 upon its arrival.

But, before fans are able to make that prediction a reality, Bieber took to Instagram to offer his beloved Beliebers a slow reveal of the 19-track affair chock full of guest appearances from the likes of Ariana Grande, Big Sean, Kanye West, and so many more.

Even with a bevy of Vine reinterpretations of its interesting music video, Drake‘s ‘Hotline Bling’ wasn’t hot enough to dethrone The Weeknd‘s reign at #1 as it has now clocked a 6th week atop the tally.

Indeed, fans of the Young Money rapper were sure ‘Bling’s accompanying visual would be just what the doctor ordered to land his very first #1 on the Hot 100.  However, as it was released to Apple Music (which does not report its numbers to Nielsen), the streaming figures did not offer the much needed assistance to make his career-long dream a reality.

As such, contrary to analyst predictions, the Weeknd clings to the tenancy of the top spot once again.  Well, that is, until next week when Adele‘s ‘Hello’ comes sweeping through with its official figures…

It’s a manta KeKe Palmer must be well-acquainted with, because the singer/actress is wasting no time capitalizing on the buzz radiating from her role on Ryan Murphy’s ‘Scream Queens.’

This week brought with it the video premiere for the 22-year-old’s new single ‘I Don’t Belong To You.’

Produced by London On Da Track, the song is the first taste of Palmer’s debut effort for new label Island Def Jam.

Signalling her return to the scene (after a brief stint as a talk show host), the rising star asserts her womanhood in the racy visual – which features cameos from Cassie and ‘Power”s Rotimi.
