Nicki Minaj’s new single ‘Megatron‘ slipped and fell to dangerously low levels on the Billboard Hot 100 when it lost its Top 20 spot and fell out of the Top 90 just weeks after its release.

How her fans are remedying the matter? By storming radio.

If I ever get another request to play Megatron, I’m mushing that person out my face!!!!!!!

Earlier this week industry insiders predicted that Daniel Caesar‘s studio set ‘Case Study 01‘ would move under 3,000 copies in pure sales (and around 20,000 units with streams) in its opening week.

Now, his final numbers are in and showcase the full extent of the damage his decision to condemn African-Americans (who made up the lion’s share of his fan base) has caused.

@YesJulz is there a reason why you didn't promote the @DanielCaesar album? He literally ruined his career and lost his fanbase to defend you. Inquiring minds would like to know.#yesjuelz #danielcaesar pic.twitter.com/uwoIfls51Y

Expect to see Queen of Pop Madonna pop up over headlines galore over the coming days as she hits the promo trail to commemorate the release of her 14th studio album, ‘Madame X.’  Dropping in for radio, magazine, newspaper, television, and Web interviews, the 60-year-old diva has had segments air (today alone) in multiple countries on prime television spots including ‘The Today Show,’ ‘Graham Norton Show,’ and so many more.

The set – preceded by five singles – has not exactly been greeted with the buzz of its predecessors, but that hasn’t stopped the Pop icon from raising awareness on the project which, despite the absence of commercial fanfare for its singles, has been getting great reviews from esteemed music critics.  Some of that success is being reflected digitally as a number of reports – including from Madonna’s team (click here to see) – have indicated ‘Madame X’ debuted at #1 on the iTunes tallies of a number of countries (including the United States).

Curious to see her thoughts on the early success?  Look inside for a collage of her most recent interviews where she tackles topics such as ageism, sexism, her obsession with religious imagery, responding to reports she’s in love, being a ‘soccer mom,’ and so much more.

Perhaps the biggest character to emerge from Nicki Minaj‘s creative universe? Roman Zolanski, the troubled alter-ego the rapper created to combat the lady lyricists who took aim at her (see Lil Kim & Keys) in the earlier stages of her career.

Born to a Cockney mother, the ferocious teen’s life is turned upside down when he is banished to a Catholic boarding school after he and his equally feral friend Slim Shady launched an attack on Minaj’s enemies (see Roman’s Revenge & Moment 4 Life) and because his religious family learns that he is gay.

Horrified, his mother Martha enlists the help of a priest (and mind-altering drugs) she hopes will “cure” her wayward son.

Take your medication, Roman
Take a short vacation, Roman, you’ll be okay
You need to know your station, Roman
Some alterations on your clothes and your brain

Alas, the opposite occurs… leading to the scenes which took place in Minaj’s performance of his theme tune ‘Roman Holiday‘ at the 2012 Grammy Awards.

My flows is sick and I’m a lunatic
And this can’t be cured with no Elixir.

Now, seven years after the performance took place, the track has enjoyed a sales resurgence on iTunes.

why can i hear my dad watching roman holiday memes from the next room

With a Staples Center-hosted homegoing affair followed by a procession through the streets of Los Angeles, slain rapper Nipsey Hussle took his final victory lap today as documented by a live streamed memorial service broadcast on BET, ET, CBS, and more respectively.

As the outpour of grief continued among his longtime supporters, fellow celebrities (in attendance at the ceremony and beyond), and more, some fans opted to honor his memory by supporting his latest effort – ‘Victory Lap.’  Just days ago Billboard reported the sales of the project (in the wake of initial reports of his death) were so strong they hoisted the set to a #2 position on this week’s Billboard 200.

Now, refreshed sales figures increased by coverage of his memorial service could see him grasp the top spot from current tenant, Billie Eilish, on next week’s tally.
