It’s been nearly two months since Victoria Monet unleashed her long-awaited debut album, ‘Jaguar,’ but her growing legion of fans are still calling for the appointment of tune ‘Touch Me’ as the set’s official new single.

Not only has she answered their request, she’s tapped fellow R&B beauty Kehlani to assist on its remix.

Just a day after sending fans into a frenzy by announcing their collaboration (click here to read), they’ve been invited to give the revamped cut a first listen.

Smile is probably the last thing dedicated fans of Katy Perry, affectionately known as #Katycats, will do once they cop a gander of the latest Billboard 200.

The diva’s latest LP, ‘Smile,’ is noticeably absent from the hitlist despite assistance from an aggressive promotional campaign that saw her not only launch multiple buzz and official singles in its support but also perform at or be featured in a host of top-named television programs, Web or print outlets, and more.

Unlisted on the album chart’s newest edition printed this week, the departure from the tally (in what would’ve been its fifth week) comes as the shortest stay any of her major label studio projects have experienced to date.

Among the last month’s high profile releases, her brief tenancy was bested only by serial hitmaker 6ix9ine.

The Scott Storch-produced ‘Do It’ continues to deliver a number of “firsts” for sister act Chloe x Halle.

Acting as the lead single from their sophomore album, ‘Ungodly Hour,’ the Victoria Monet-penned tune not only boasts impressive critical acclaim but also comes as their first and highest charting single to date on the Hot 100.

Barely two weeks after we reported ‘Do It’ had peaked at #63 on the tally thanks to a star-studded remix featuring the likes of City Girls, Mulatto, and Doja Cat (click here to read), the sister act has learned the song is their first hit certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
