Bruno Mars’ megahit ‘Uptown Funk‘ seems to have no intention on going downtown Billboard Hot 100 avenue as it reigns for a 9th consecutive week.

The feat not only gives Mars’ his longest running reign on the chart’s perch, but also pencils him in history books into an exclusive club of hitmakers to ever lead the Hot 100 and Official UK Singles chart for at least 7 weeks (Bryan Adams‘ “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You,” 1991; Whitney Houston‘s “I Will Always Love You,” 1992-93; and Rihanna‘s “Umbrella,” featuring Jay Z, 2007 complete the quartet).

Elsewhere in the top 10, the only new faces seen are those of serial pop hitmakers Pitbull & Ne-Y0 with their hit ‘The Time of Our Lives,’ marking the latter’s first appearance on the Hot 100 in over 2 years!  See where they landed as well as the other movement on the single’s chart below:

Tinashe is playing no games with her plan for superstardom.

The singer has unwrapped the video for ‘Bated Breath’ from her debut album ‘Aquarius’ and revealed that she financed it herself.

Speaking to W about the six hour shoot, the 22-year-old said:

“It wasn’t a big production or anything.

The label didn’t finance the video, so she decided to take things into her own hands. “I don’t like to sit around waiting for people to do things for me. So when I know my label’s not going to produce music videos, I’ll either make them myself or I’ll find people that I think are cool and reach out to them directly. I’m like, ‘F*ck it. I’ll just do it.’”

The singer describes the Stephen Garnett visual, which was shot in the Mojave Desert, as “grungier” than past efforts.

azealia banks-thatgrapejuice

Much like Iggy Azalea, recent headlines have seen Azealia Banks’ name inked more for her Twitter antics than chart-positions or music happenings.  The result of which saw fans and critics alike urge the rapstress to take a break from the social media outlet – or at least redirect some of that energy to the studio.

Finally, much like her Aussie arch nemesis, the ‘ATM Jam’ beauty has finally shared news that she’s heeding their advice and giving her fiery fingers a rest from darting 140 characters worth of attacks on her contemporaries.  Unlike Azalea, Banks’ break is far from indefinite as she has given her departure a deadline.
