Among her many recent promotional stops was ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ where she not only acted as guest co-host but also chopped it up with resident anchor Kevin Frazier who took her down memory lane to discuss her previous iconic TV ventures (i.e. ‘Facts of Life,’ ‘Living Single,’ etc.) and the potential of reboots.

After thrilling fans with her comeback single, ‘Let Me Reintroduce Myself,’ music superstar Gwen Stefani quickly introduced fans to its follow-up – the Saweetie-assisted ‘Slow Clap.’

And while initial excitement around the March 11-released track suggested it would bring just the hype needed to build anticipation for her yet-titled, forthcoming fourth studio album, two months later the song is still earning…well…a slow clap from music lovers.

In an effort to help it crack into the Hot 100 for the first time, Stefani ignited a promo blitz that saw her give the tune the live treatment on the likes of ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ and other high profile stops (as we reported here).  Now, she’s taking fans behind the scenes of the energetic tune’s Sophie Muller-directed music video.

You guessed it…another one!

DJ Khaled may own the top spot on this week’s Billboard 200 with his latest album, ‘Khaled Khaled’ (as we reported here), but the 45-year-old is apparently looking to make sure the set doesn’t get unseated on next week’s chart.

His bid to extend his stay in the tally’s top spot comes courtesy of the music video for ‘Let It Go,’ which features fellow chart-toppers 21 Savage and Justin Bieber. Directed by Colin Tilley, the comedic clip draws inspiration from the friendly golf tournament prominently featured in Adam Sandler’s classic 1996 comedy film, ‘Happy Gilmore.’ 

The last time Khaled teamed with Bieber, 2017’s ‘I’m the One,’ it took him to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Will ‘Let It Go’ repeat the feat? Watch inside and let us know:
