It has certainly been Taylor Swift‘s week.  For, not only did she see her name etched in history books for being the first female act to sell 1 million copies of a single album in one week twice, she has now notched her 56th (yes, you read that right) entry on Billboard’s Hot 100.

How, you ask?  Well, with 4 top 10 singles from her most recent album ‘Red’ (‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’, ‘Red’, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’, ‘Begin Again’), Swift just added 5 new titles to the Hot 100 – bringing her tally to 9 entries from one album simultaneously.

But, she’s not the only one celebrating this week.  Ke$ha, Rihanna, and Chris Brown have all seen considerable gains on the singles front.  Read about it all below:

Ludacris may be blazing up Urban radio with Winter sizzler ‘Representin'(ft. Kelly Rowland)’, yet that doesn’t mean the Disturbing The Peace hitmaker hasn’t got plans for the Pop arena.

The rapper /actor  has called on Usher and David Guetta for Urban-Dance number ‘Rest Of My Life’, which serves as the first mainstream offering from his new album ‘Ludaversal’ (due early next year).

Having already collaborated with Usher on 2004 mega-hits ‘Yeah’ and ‘Lovers & Friends’, it’s the involvement of Guetta which makes for the most intriguing read on paper.

Now, this is black star power!

As previously reported, 2013 is set to debut the star-studded, playwright/director David E. Talbert film ‘Baggage Claim’ starring Tia Mowry, Trey Songz, Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Paula Patton, Octavia Spencer, and more.

Much like the ensemble cast of 2012’s ‘Think Like A Man’, the highly anticipated comedy has assembled some of black America’s best and brightest and as new reports indicate, the assembly is not quite complete.  For now, TV personality Terrence J and singers Jill Scott and Christina Milian have joined the already star-studded cast!

The reports surface shortly after Scott’s last try at film, Lifetime’s ‘Steel Magnolias’ remake, was announced to be a ratings winner – giving the channel one of its highest viewed showings ever.
