#BTSWeek continues at ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,’ much to the delight of the group’s dedicated fans.

Last night (September 30), the K-Pop septet rocked the late night talk show with a live performance of their global hit, ‘Black Swan’ – the follow-up showing from Monday (September 28) and Tuesday’s (September 29) high octane live renditions of ‘Idol’ and ‘Home’ respectively (as we reported here).

For Thursday (October 1), they’ve lifted a new live of their tune ‘Mikrokosmos’ (found aboard their 2019 album, ‘Map of the Soul: Persona’).

Do you know what today is? It’s the release date of ‘Anniversary’ – the long-awaited third album from Bryson Tiller.

Arriving exactly 5 years from the October 2, 2015 premiere of his critically acclaimed debut LP, ‘TrapSoul,’ the new set is reportedly the first of a “wave of new music” coming from the GRAMMY nominee (who had been largely quiet over 2019 and early 2020 following the birth of his second child).

Officially back to business, the last few weeks have seen the  27-year-old whet appetites for the coming of ‘Anniversary’ by releasing housed cuts ‘Inhale,’ ‘Always Forever,’ and more.

Now, the full course is available for fan consumption.

Boasting Rap superstar Drake as the sole guest feature, look inside for the 10-song project:

Shawn Mendes is back!

It’s been over two years since fans could boast ownership of a new official body of work from the Canadian Pop star, but that’s set to change December 4 when he unleashes his highly anticipated fourth studio effort – ‘Wonder.’

To ramp up excitement for the LP, the 22-year-old took to social media Wednesday (September 30) to tease the music video for its title track by unveiling a captivating preview.  The next day, he shared the album’s official cover artwork and tracklist.

Now, after much ado, fans are inviting to see the ‘Wonder’ music video in full.

What are you waiting for? It’s inside!

Thanks to a viral Tik Tok challenge, ‘Savage Love’ has become one of the biggest hits of Jason Derulo‘s career.

In addition to being his first Platinum single since 2017’s Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign-assisted ‘Swalla,’ the Jawsh 685-produced cut is Derulo’s first Hot 100 top 10 hit in 5 years (as we reported here).

Now, in an effort to push the tune to higher Hot 100 heights, the Miami dance machine has enlisted fellow stage blazers BTS to assist with its remix (as we reported here).

Will help from the K-Pop septet (who are currently sitting at #1 on the charts with their tune ‘Dynamite’) be just what’s needed to hoist ‘Savage Love’ to similar heights?

Despite salute from fans and critics alike for being a standout cut from her sophomore album, ‘Future Nostalgia,’ Brit-born beauty Dua Lipa‘s song ‘Levitating’ has yet to live up to its moniker on the Hot 100.

Although blessed with a remix that featured Blessed Madonna alongside Rap royal Missy Elliott and Queen of Pop Madonna (found aboard the LP’s deluxe edition ‘Club Future Nostalgia’), the tune’s still failed to crack the hit-list – a surprising fate given the success of its predecessors ‘Physical,’ ‘Break My Heart,’ and the top 5 hit, ‘Don’t Start Now’ (as we reported here).

In an effort to turn the tide on ‘Levitating,’ Lipa’s enlisted serial hitmaker DaBaby for a new remix.  Will his inclusion be just the trick to rev up consumer interest?

With Boi-1da, Jahaan Sweet, & The Rascals at the helm of production, Ella Mai makes her highly anticipated return with new song, ‘Not Another Love Song.’

The grown-and-sexy tune, available courtesy of Interscope Records, comes as Mai’s first release as a leader in nearly 2 years and is believed to be the kickoff single from her yet-titled sophomore album (the follow-up to her R&B chart-topping 2018 self-titled debut LP).

Dishing on its concept when upon its September 25 announcement (as we reported here), the 25-year-old said:

“[‘Not Another Love Song’] is about falling in love but not wanting to admit it, so it’s quite vulnerable but still has an edge to it.”

With the top 40 debuts of their singles, ‘How You Like That’ (#33) and the Selena Gomez-assisted ‘Ice Cream’ (#13), BLACKPINK were inked in Billboard history books for earning the highest placements of any female K-Pop group to date (as we reported here).

They’re looking to best their own record with the release of new song, ‘Lovesick Girls,’ and its accompanying music video in its support.

The third official release from their October 2-unveiled new studio effort, ‘The Album,’ look inside to see the high octane visual.

To say BLACKPINK‘s first Korean-language studio effort, ‘The Album,’ is one of the year’s most highly anticipated releases would be a severe understatement.

At writing, the set’s reportedly passed the “1 million sold” mark for global pre-orders, with roughly 30% of those purchases coming from Europe and North America combined.  Be mindful that figure does not include streaming numbers which, once added, will skyrocket the quartet’s first-week sales prediction.

In America, excitement for the LP’s arrival has been built on the backs of two Hot 100 top 40 smashes – ‘How You Like That’ and its history-making, Selena Gomez-assisted follow-up, ‘Ice Cream.’

With the recently unveiled video for ‘Lovesick Girls’ (click here to watch) promising to send consumption into overdrive, group members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa have unleashed the songs’ parent album in full.

Much like in the high octane, Normani-enlisted music video for ‘Diamonds’ (found aboard the ‘Birds of Prey’ soundtrack), Megan Thee Stallion revisits a funhouse theme for her official music video for new song, ‘Don’t Stop.’

Tapping Young Thug to assist, the Rap duo – courtesy of a colorful, Colin Tilley-directed clip – trade racy lyrics over a Buddah Bless beat while re-enacting concepts found in the classic fairytale ‘Alice in Wonderland.’

Announced just Monday (September 28), the song’s arrival comes the same week Megan’s current hit – the Cardi B-led ‘WAP’ – stepped down from the top spot of the Hot 100 (as we reported here).

Does ‘Don’t Stop’ have what it takes to replace ‘WAP’? Listen inside and tell us:

In celebration of 30 hit-filled years in the music industry, October 2 sees Mariah Carey unveil ‘The Rarities’ – a compilation album of unreleased material to share with her legion of devoted fans (affectionately called “Lambs”).

Also encompassing a live concert CD of Carey’s roof-raising 1996 performance at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the set features some never-before-heard tunes from her prized vault as well as some never-before-heard mixes of previous hits.

Released just days after her highly anticipated memoir, ‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey,’ look inside for your first listen to the new compilation effort.

After breaking away from boyband Citizen Four, actor-turned-‘X Factor‘ alum Josh Levi unveiled his first solo project, ‘Disc One,’ in July 2020 (click here to stream).

Earning acclaim from industry critics as well as his legion of growing fans thanks to its previously released singles ‘If the World’ and ‘Know Better,’ the triple threat is set to earn even more thumbs up once music lovers get a whiff of his newest number – ‘Don’t They.’

Unleashing its official music video Thursday (October 1), the demure yet dramatic clip houses a familiar face – rising Pop starlet Normani.  Sharing screen time with the Fifth Harmony alum in the Blair Caldwell-directed visual, Levi coos:

“Don’t they make love songs anymore? / Tell me right now if you want in / Let’s be alone in a full room / Wanna make one, can we make one?”

Just two days after learning she’d been nominated for ‘Video Director of the Year’ at the 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards (as we reported here), Teyana Taylor (under the alias ‘Spike Tee’) reminds fans just why she’s worthy of the honor.

Taking the director’s chair again for an official video lifted in support of her latest LP, ‘The Album,’ this time the Nova Wav-produced ‘Concrete’ was tapped to get the visual treatment.

A hot and steamy affair starring her basketballer husband Iman Shumpert, the two highlight the ups and downs of marriage before making up in a sizzling bedroom scene.

You may want to tuck the kiddies away before viewing this action.
