Drake finds himself in wealthy company today, placed on a list tallying 2014’s highest-earning musicians!
The list uses cash generated by Pop’s brightest stars to compile the the top 40 and is set to surprise any who may have expected the likes of Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj and Jennifer Lopez to make commendable appearances following the release of new LPs in the period.
After a brief rest on the bench, Cover Star returns this week with Youtube songstress Tia tagging some friends to do their thing to Rihanna’s latest top 5 hit ‘FourFiveSeconds.’
How do they fare? Hit ‘PLAY’ below to find out…
Nice!
We appreciate Tia for staying true to the tone of the song not feeling the need to flex her vocal muscle with an overabundance of melisma or other eccentricities, but we give kudos for making the song her own with the help of her friends.
Simple, smooth, effective, and to the point. We like and am sure Ri would give a thumbs up too!

Christina Aguilera isn’t the only Sony siren setting her sights on the small screen this year.
For, the mogul that is Beyonce has made moves towards the world of television with her entertainment company ‘Parkwood’, arming herself with the legal weaponry she’ll need once her dreams turn into reality.
The superstar singer broke new ground when she produced her surprise visual album in-house at her Parkwood Entertainment company. Indeed, the 2013 set was handled almost entirely by the diva’s team, with longtime major label Columbia Records primarily serving as distributors.
Fast forward 18 months and Queen Bey is putting her Parkwood expansion plans into practice. For, she has just signed three new artists to lucrative new deals.
Lauryn Hill’s comeback may be on its way uphill, but that journey hasn’t come with its share of obstacles.
Indeed, the Grammy winning songstress has developed quite the unfortunate reputation for tardiness, reported prima donna antics, and other murmurs of unusual behavior since steadily touring around the world.
But, while fans of Lagos, Nigeria were about to add their names to the growing list of the diva’s detractors for a missed show yesterday, Hill took to Facebook to offer her apologies for the inconvenience via an acoustic performance of her signature hit ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ with a few special guests.
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ ‘Uptown Funk’ has upped the number of names listed on its songwriting credits, Billboard reports.
The move, prompted by legal claims put in motion by hit 70s/80s R&B group Gap Band, comes as the song continues worldwide domination of charts despite recently ending a 14-week run at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
Ciara‘s new album ‘Jackie’ is being brought to the stage live this Sunday when the singer’s aptly titled ‘Jackie Tour’ kicks off in Chicago.
Set to run the course of this month, the trek will be previewed for the masses next week. Why? Because the ‘I Bet’ belter is heading to two major shows in support of her sixth studio effort.
With Rihanna‘s new project in dire disarray, the 27-year-old is clasping at even more straws than before.
Current single ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ barely scrapped a top 20 peak on the Billboard Hot 100. So, in hoping to send the polarising cut into the higher echelons of the tally, the model has called on rising Dance DJ R3hab for assistance.
Given that streaming proving an ever important component of where songs sit on the charts, will the new incarnation of the track aid its cause?
Jennifer Lopez‘s was launched into the stratosphere when she starred in the 1997 ‘Selena’ biopic. So who better than Ms. Jenny From The Block to tribute the late, great diva at the 2015 Billboard Latin Awards?
Last night, J.Lo lit up the stage with a spirited homage to the Latin superstar (who died 20 years ago, aged 23, after being murdered by the head of her fan-club).
