As the masses continue to release their wiggles to the sounds of Beyoncé‘s seventh studio album, the July 29-released ‘Renaissance,’ industry analysts have turned their attention to the commercial performance of the set.
And if early reports are anything to judge by, Bey may do some wiggling herself when she finds out the numbers expected to be attached to the LP’s first-week sales.
Details inside:
Lady Gaga returned to London last night (July 29) for the first of two sold-out Chromatica Ball shows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The live blockbuster has been mounted in support of Mother Monster’s chart-topping ‘Chromatica’ album – which is home to hits such as ‘Stupid Love’ and #1 smash ‘Rain On Me.’ Both of which were paired with high-octane showings at the seismic spectacle.
A blazing bolt of energy from its opener ‘Bad Romance’ ignites what is an electifying exhibit of Pop perfection from the multihyphenate GRAMMY and Oscar winner.
Both contemporary and nostalgic, The Chromatica Ball is quite the triumph for an artist that has all at once managed to establish a lane like no other, evolve like no other, and cultivate an eclectic catalog like no other.
Classics such as ‘Just Dance,’ ‘Poker Face,’ and ‘Love Game’ were launched onto the adoring audience early – reminding of Gaga’s meteoric ascend. One that has yet to be matched by any in music’s fast-paced landscape.
New ‘Chromatica’ jams such as ‘Sour Candy,’ ‘Alice,’ ‘Babylon,’ and ‘Replay’ were expertly woven between fan favorites like ‘Monster’ and ‘Shallow’ – with all collectively receiving a rapturous response from the capacity crowd.
As one of Pop’s most notable shapeshifters, Gaga thrilled with a multi-dimensional show that celebrates all facets of her musical, visual, and theatrical arsenal. From the freaky to the fashionable. From the raw to the regal. All the “Lady Gagas” we’ve come to know and love over the years showed up to the ‘Ball – and it was glorious. Very much a victory lap from a titan artiste that shows no signs of slowing down.
Initially scheduled for takeoff in 2020, The Chromatica Ball was one of several shows postponed due to the global health crisis.
Two years later, it has proven well worth the wait.

Beyonce is off to a fire-fuelled start with her new album ‘Renaissance’ – especially on Spotify.

After a two-year absence from the Billboard Hot 100, ‘I’m Sprung’ hitmaker T-Pain sprang back onto the tally in 2021 with the Kehlani-assisted ‘I Like Dat.’ Peaking at #97 on the hitlist, ‘Dat’ eventually made its way to Gold status at the Recording Industry Association of America (a measure that denotes sales of 500,000 in the United States).
With hopes of continuing that momentum, the 37-year-old has finally dropped the music video for ‘Dat’s follow-up – ‘That’s Just Tips.’ Produced by Bishop Jones and Ben10K, ‘Tips’ serves notice that the ‘I’m In Luv with a Stripper’ singer ain’t just limiting his club love to the ladies on the poles.
“I got a stack for the waitress / I got a stack for security / And I got five for the b*tch that I’mma f*ck while she wearin’ my jewelry / And I got a couple hundred dollars for the n*gga that park my whip,” he relays in the new bop.
Hear the tune inside and peep its spicy music video directed by Ben Hansford and TP himself.
As Offset makes his presence and talent known on the new Normani and Tinashe-assisted Calvin Harris song ‘New to Me‘ (as we reported here), his former Migos groupmates Quavo and Takeoff take to Gucci Mane to assist on their latest single, ‘Us Vs. Them.’
Produced by DJ Durel, Money Musik, Duce.6x and Eza, Quavo and Take – nowadays known as Unc & Phew – team with Guwop to send out notice to their opps by showing off in a parking garage and indoor sports facility.
“Think sh*t sweet, then try it / Steppin’ in shoes that’s not your size (N*ggas ain’t steppin’) / The back of the Maybach I sit and recline (Thinkin’ ’bout what?) / And I got Franklins all on my mind, then chrome, then spine,” Takeoff spits on the tune’s first verse.
Coming as the follow-up to ‘Hotel Lobby,’ Unc & Phew’s debut single as a the duo, hop inside to hear ‘Us’ and check out its KeeMotion-directed accompanying music video.
Jesy Nelson is not only formerly of Little Mix, she’s now formerly of Polydor Records.
Because just 14 months after inking her seismic solo deal, the 31-year-old has parted ways with the Universal Music imprint.

Calvin Harris has unlocked ‘New To You’ – the latest track to be lifted from the hitmaker’s incoming new album ‘Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2’ (due August 5).
And, true to form, the DJ has enlisted an eclectic collection of acts to mobilize the track.
This go round it’s Normani, Tinashe, and Offset.
On this dreamy musical adventure, the trio trade verses on Harris’ hypnotizing production.
‘New To You’ arrives ahead of Normani’s new single ‘Candy Paint’ and amidst Tinashe’s push for latest LP ‘333.’

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

Beyonce‘s ‘Renaissance’ is here.
For, her chart domination is back and bigger than ever.
More details below…
Seven is routinely referred to as the number of perfection and that’s exactly what Queen Bey tapped into with her seventh studio album ‘Renaissance.’
Boasting sleek slices of delicious Dance driven bops, the LP – Queen Bey’s first solo effort in six years – delivers on a seismic scale.
Expertly shaped by the famously hands-on diva, ‘Renaissance’ features contributions from a colorful collective of creatives – some known and some new to the superstar’s long-thriving musical orbit. Indeed, the likes of The-Dream, Honey Dijon, A.G Cook, Skrillex, Nile Rodgers, Nija, and Raphael Saadiq are just a few of the names in the mix.
All the while, the LP maintains a vision and a cohesiveness that defines impeccable.
The result? A blissful body of work that is kaleidoscopic. An experimental, playful, and unbridled burst of joy.
Beyond its immaculate production, the eagerly awaited set sees all the “Beyoncés” show up to the party. From the vocal acrobats that defined both her debut and ’B’Day’ to the heavenly harmonies established during her tenure with Destiny’s Child to the Pop sensibilities of ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce to the egier Hip-Hop kissed offerings of 2013’s ‘Beyonce’ and its follow-up ‘Lemonade.’
For this and so much more, ‘Renaissance’ is a triumphant victory lap for a force that shows no signs of slowing.

Beyonce is proving her latest smash hit ‘Break My Soul’ is more than just a party-starter, it’s a mantra for herself and fans.
As has been widely reported, the Hot 100 top 10 tune acts as the lead single from her seventh studio album ‘Renaissance,’ which is officially available for purchase and streaming now. Two days ahead of the LP’s scheduled July 29 release, however, it was plagued with a leak that saw it land online earlier than expected.
To the surprise of many, some of Bey’s eager fans (who have impatiently waited since 2016 for a new solo studio album from the diva) not only opted against taking advantage of the leak but even banded together to reprimand and report those who did.
Their acts of dedication and support didn’t go unnoticed by the Queen. Look inside to see what she said about it.
Leak be damned, we have finally trotted our way to a new Beyonce album!
Six years after making history with her sixth studio album ‘Lemonade,’ the Queen is looking to reign atop the Billboard 200 once more – this time with the long-awaited LP ‘Renaissance.’
The first installment of a three-part musical series, ‘Renaissance’ is being brought to the masses on the wings of the smash hit ‘Break My Soul,’ which broke the diva into uncharted territory when it soared into Hot 100’s top 10 weeks ago all ahead of the release of its official video.
Featuring appearances and contributions from the likes of Drake, JAY-Z, The-Dream, Tems, Solange, Raphael Saadiq, Grace Jones, Hit-Boy, Kelis (much to her chagrin), and many other big names, the 16-track affair easily comes as the year’s most highly anticipated yet.
