If this week’s Billboard Hot 100 is anything to go by, public has clearly forgiven Fergie for the musical misstep that was last year’s ‘L.A. Love.’

For, as the refreshed chart shows, the pop-rapper – whose latest number ‘M.I.L.F.$’ is rumored to be the kickoff of her long-awaited sophomore album ‘Double Dutchess’ – found herself nabbing her career best debut chart placement.

Indeed, after unveiling the tune’s accompanying video (featuring cameos from Ciara, Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, and more), the song raked in an impressive 65,000 sold its premiere week.

Curious to know where this handsome sum, in addition to its streaming, helped land it on this week’s Drake-led Hot 100?  Tuck in below to find out:

Keen to replicate profit-swelling success stories of yesteryear record labels often use model their new artists on the artists who came before them.

Janet-Britney

Madonna- Lady Gaga

Anita Baker – Toni Braxton

Mary J. Blige – Keyshia Cole- K. Michelle

Beyonce- Rihanna

Gwen Stefani- Charli XCX.

For one reason or another, this practice isn’t always as obvious when the artists are men, perhaps because said labels rarely require male artists to look like the artists they are pulling from.

Unfortunately for Future, he has learned just how problematic this trend can be when a new musician succeeds in “borrowing” their sound.

For, after he was accused of “borrowing” his style from T-Pain, he has been forced to watch the rise of the charismatic and eerily identical Desiigner and his smash hit single ‘Panda.’

Why his thunder-stealing ascent is set to rub the Southern star the wrong way once more?

If you thought Mike Will Made It‘s star faded just as quickly as it’d risen, think again.

The hitmaking producer – who has wielded hits for the likes of Ciara, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, and many more – taps his ‘Pour It Up’ co-star Rihanna for the lead single for ‘Ransom 2’ (the follow-up to his 2014 release ‘Ransom‘).

Titled ‘Nothing is Promised,’ the tune bumps over an EarDrummers beat while Rih coos about a number of usual topics (n*ggaz, money, shopping, drinking).  Coming as her latest collabo with a super-producer in just a month (see:  Calvin Harris ‘This Is What You Came For’), it appears the Bajan beauty is on quite the roll while her own solo project ‘Anti,’ still maintains buoyancy in the top 5 of the album charts.

That  Rihanna reign just won’t let up and now you can get into ‘Promised’ below to get a reminder why:
