When Rihanna debuted in 2005, she joined Chris Brown, Teairra Mari and Ciara at the front of a teenage class developed to dominate the decade as Destiny’s Child, Usher, Aaliyah and Britney Spears had done before them.

Only right then, after almost two decades at the top, that the performer should take a well-deserved break.

Alas, her fans feel differently and have taken to social media to demand new music from the ‘Music of the Sun’ singer.

Christmas is coming early for Mariah Carey and fans.

The Pop diva, whose enduring holiday classic ‘All I Want for Christmas’ has become an anthem synonymous with the season’s arrival, has been burning up streaming and digital download platforms with the song since early November.

And, while the tune’s annual ascension on Billboard charts is by no means a surprise, now – just a day after learning its parent album, ‘Merry Christmas,’ cracked the Billboard 200’s top 10 again – the Walter Afanasieff-co-written cut has snipped out the competition to land at #3 on this week’s Hot 100 (mirroring last year’s re-peak).

Lizzo is going all out in her push for “new” single ‘Good As Hell.’

With unorthodox defining the singer’s success, the release serves as one of her story’s most unique chapters.

For, the song was originally released in 2016 and placed on the ‘Barbershop: The Next Cut’ during her rise.

Following the chart-topping run of another previously released cut (‘Truth Hurts’), ‘Good As Hell’ has received a huge boost and now looks like a serious contender for the top spot too.

With the help of an Ariana Grande assisted remix, the song has thus far peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Now, with the arrival of an all-new video (there was an original), the Houston native is in the running for a major streaming boost.
