Chris Brown? Check.

Jason Derulo?  Check.

Ne-Yo?  Check.

Triple threat diva Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to tapping R&B’s hottest crooners to offer her assistance on a track and, as her latest musical endeavor demonstrates, she doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon.

As we reported here, she’s now teamed with Trey Songz for the duet ‘What You Mean To Me,’ found aboard the ‘Finding Neverland: The Album’ project (based on the Broadway production adapted from the 2004 London-set film about playwright J.M. Barrie, portrayed by Johnny Depp).

2014 proved that girls really did run the world as the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 consistently listed more female tenants than their male counterparts for most of the year.  2015 is looking to show otherwise with this week bringing the first time since June 2013 that no female singer was listed in the Billboard’s Hot 100 top 5.

After an impressive 14 week tenure at the #1 spot, last week shared news that Bruno Mars’ monster hit ‘Uptown Funk’ moved downtown to #2 – dethroned by Wiz Khalifa‘s newest hit ‘See You Again.’  A fitting title as this week’s refreshing of the tally sees him again holding tight to the #1 spot, a career highlight unknown to the rapper since his monster 2010 hit ‘Black and Yellow.’

Leading an all-male top 5, Khalifa may not want to get too comfortable in his #1 position as recent gains from the likes of The Weeknd, Jason Derulo, and Rihanna may prove themselves viable threats.
