Finally released Sunday morning (August 29), the 27-track set zoomed to the top of every real-time digital sales and streaming tally – dominating each platform to historic measure.

As if owning three concurrent top 20 hits, the longest-running all-female top 10 hit in history, and one of the current top-selling albums in the country aren’t enough to boast, Doja Cat came through to demonstrate her silent slayage isn’t limited to the charts.

Via a scintillating featured photo shoot helmed by famed photographer Eric Johnson, the singer-rapper struck a series of sizzling poses for the September issue of ‘Interview’ magazine.  Interviewed by Missy Elliott, Cat covered a number of hot topics including her eclectic style, diverse musical influences, balancing being a rapper and singer (like Elliott), and so much more.

And while Doja made clear she did not approve of the photos chosen for the mag’s final printed edition, her fans – affectionately called #Kittens – still lapped up another opportunity to see their fave in action.

It’s hard to look at trampolines the same after seeing Tinashe‘s slamming music video for ‘Bouncin,’ the latest official single from her fifth studio album ‘333’ (available now).

While it’s probably best we leave all of our trampoline activity to the professionals, Sweet T reminds us just how much of that she is with the behind the scenes look at the clip’s creation. Under the direction of Lloyd Pursall, the 28-year-old – alongside a troop of equally capable dancers –  turned a demure basketball court into a full-on dance floor.

Showing off choreography that would make even the most seasoned movers and shakers drop jaws, look inside to see the magic that went into the creation of ‘Bouncin.’

Related to the latter, Cabello hit the late night circuit Thursday (August 26) to dish about Amazon Prime flick as well as put to rest those pesky rumors about being engaged to longtime boyfriend Shawn Mendes.

Brandy made history when she starred as a princess in 1997’s “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” and now – nearly 25 years later – she’s slipped on a pair of royal slippers, crown, and gown again to assume the role as part of Disney’s ‘Ultimate Princess Celebration.’

Announced in late April (as we first reported here), B-Rocka’s contribution to the yearlong ode to Disney princesses came via the Oak Felder-produced song, ‘Starting Now’ (penned by Felder, Jason Mater, Jordan Powers, and Darren Criss).

After months of enjoying rave reviews for the tune, the 42-year-old has brought it to life via a magical music video that sees her take quite the journey to the past.
