Taylor Swift may be no stranger to seeing her name in the history books of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), but now she’s getting acquainted with a new honor:  Queen of the Digital Era.

A title long held by Pop superstar Rihanna, the Barbadian beauty was unseated Monday (October 26) when the RIAA updated its record logs with a slew of new or upgraded certifications for Swift.

The latter’s refreshed total now sees her as the best-selling female artist of the digital era.

Upon learning her seventh studio album, ‘Lover,’ had been certified Platinum in September 2019 (as we reported here), Taylor Swift entered history books by becoming the female artist to accumulate 7 Platinum (or multi-Platinum) LPs the fastest.

Now, she’s extended that record as her latest opus – ‘Folklore’ – has become the first album of 2020 to sell 1 million copies (as we reported here).

Music lovers are definitely loving ‘U 2 Luv’ – the latest single from singer-songwriter Ne-Yo.

As we reported here, the song is his highest charting effort in six years – a feat that may be due in part to the tune’s hitmaking co-star, Jeremih.

Using that formula to hoist it even higher than its current #80 peak on the Billboard Hot 100, Ne-Yo is enlisting even more help – this time from the likes of relative new kids on the block Queen Naija and Lil Durk.

Curious to hear what they added to the ‘Computer Love’-sampling bop?

October 23 brought with it the anxiously awaited new Ty Dolla $ign album, ‘Featuring Ty Dolla $ign.’

His third solo outing, the project comes as one of the most star-studded efforts of the year as it boasts Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jhené Aiko, Big Sean, Future, Kehlani, Post Malone, and more across its 25 tracks.

Kicked off by singles ‘Ego Death’ (featuring West), ‘Expensive’ (featuring Minaj), and ‘By Yourself’ (featuring Aiko), the positive response to those tunes is proving the who’s who of Hip Hop hitmakers is just what the doctor ordered for $ign.

After a 6-year wait since his last studio album (2014’s ‘Sex Playlist’), only days separate fans of Omarion from his newest official LP, ‘The Kinection.’

Set to hit shelves October 30, the project – O’s first fully independent joint – was kicked off by the warmly received ‘Can U Hear Me (featuring T-Pain)’ and ‘Involved’ (click here to listen).

Now, ahead of its unveiling, the GRAMMY-nominee is looking to give fans another taste of what’s to come via the new single, ‘Mutual’ (featuring Wale).

A reunion of sorts as the two previously collaborated on ‘M.I.A.’ (found aboard the Maybach Music Group’s 2012 compilation album ‘Self Made Vol. 2’), look inside to hear the latest the duo’s cooked up.

Just days after unveiling her new song, ‘Damage,’ R&B songbird H.E.R. soared on ‘SNL’ with a live rendition of the heart-tugging tune.

While serving as musical guest on the Adele-hosted episode (October 24), the 23-year-old gave viewers a taste of the new song’s successor, ‘Hold On.’

Boasting production from Non Native and Luis Campozano, ‘Hold’ – which was officially released shortly after its live ‘SNL’ debut – sees H.E.R. croon:

“And if I hold on to you / I’m only hurting me / I know if I hold on to you / I’ll never want to leave / Wanna love me, wanna set me free.”

That’s not all. Hear the song in full inside:
