Last week (as we reported here), Beyoncé sprang a surprise on fans when she unleashed new song ‘Black Parade.’

Wasting no time zooming to the top of real-time sales tallies (where it remained for days after its premiere), the Derek Dixie-produced bop came as a musical celebration of Juneteenth – the holiday designated to honor the end of slavery.

Now, her beloved fans – affectionately called the #Beyhive – have even more reason to celebrate as the updated Billboard Hot 100 reveals the tune has made a promising start.  Debuting at #37, the entry not only marks Bey’s 40th trip to that region of the chart since the start of her solo career in 2002 but also her 65th solo Hot 100 entry overall.

Look inside to see who joins her on this week’s TGJ Chart Check: Hot 100:

Michaela Coel is on a roll!

The titan of talent is blazing a trail with self-created shows such as ‘Chewing Gum’ and most recently ‘I May Destroy You’ – the latter of which is receiving critical acclaim on both sides of the pond.

Written, directed, and executive produced by Coel, the BBC/HBO title invites viewers into the luminous world of London, as it unpacks a rivetting story of consent, race, youth culture and working in the media. All with a brand of nuance that many argue has yet to be seen on screen…until now.
