Justin Bieber is definitely a man of his word.

As we reported here, at the top of the month he promised his fans (affectionately called #Beliebers) a new music video every week for a tune found aboard his latest chart-topping album, ‘Changes.’ This week marks no exception.

Following last week’s ‘Available’ clip (click here to watch), the fourth and final visual from his exclusive Apple Music “Nature” series, the 26-year-old returns his focus to supporting the dance community.  Tapping Nick DeMoura to direct, the latest ‘Changes’ cut to get the visual treatment is ‘Get Me’ – the Grammy winner’s duet with R&B songstress Kehlani.

As we reported here, Jhené Aiko‘s third album, ‘Chilombo,‘ entered the Billboard 200 this week at #2 thanks to a whopping 152,000 units shifted its first week.

Pertaining to the latter (born Gabriella Wilson), peruse of the Hot 100 this week saw ‘B.S.’ – her guest appearance on ‘Chilombo’ – make a top 30 debut.  A personal best for the ‘Hard Place’ singer, look below to see how she and Jhené gained a win this week:
