From tour cancellations to festival postponements, companies are being forced to make swift decisions to minimize risk.

And The Wendy Williams Show is the latest.

Christina Aguilera brought her vocal gravitas to the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage tonight.

“This isn’t the kickoff single for my next record, but it’s a great way to share with the world this wonderful news of love.”

The quote above, lifted from Katy Perry‘s recent chat with Australia’s NOVA FM, references the singer’s latest single, ‘Never Worn White.’

Released March 5, ‘White’ instantly shot to the top of digital sales tallies around the world (as we reported here) – a response we’re sure was the impetus for the diva’s global push of the tune.  Pursuing promotional opportunities in the United Kingdom and Australia (where she also brought down the house at the Women’s World Cup on International Women’s Day), the diva’s day of radio, Web, and television interviews culminated when she took to ‘The Project’ (March 10).

While there, she not only rendered the first televised performance of ‘White’ but also dished on a number of hot topics ranging from her recently announced pregnancy, releasing new music over the summer, the loss of her grandmother, and more.

With headlines running hot with reports Coachella 2020 is set to be rescheduled due to coronavirus fears (as we reported here), ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker Megan Thee Stallion is one of the event’s performers sounding off on the news.

Recently spotted in New York City by our friends at TMZ, the 25-year-old dished on the festival’s pending postponement as well as her March 6th-released EP, ‘Suga,’ and how it – despite initially being touted as her debut album – will serve as a means to tide fans over until she officially makes the LP drop.

‘Stupid Love’ – the first single from Lady Gaga‘s forthcoming sixth album ‘Chromatica’ – has proven itself quite a smart musical move for the Pop diva.

As we reported here, the BloodPop-produced song – which premiered February 28 –  debuted at #5 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, her highest premiere placement in 9 years.

In addition to becoming her 16th top 10 hit, its arrival on charts also comes as a history-making feat as it makes her only the second female to date to have nabbed a top 10 single in each of the last three decades (2000s, 2010s, 2020s).

Stomping across the stage in fierce patent leather thigh-high boots, the songstress – hot on the global promo trail in support of her latest single, ‘Never Worn White’ –  cranked out some of her greatest hits, namely the chart-toppers ‘Firework’ and ‘Roar.’

Although his ‘Trolls World Tour’ soundtrack collaboration with SZA, ‘Other Side,’ just entered the Billboard Hot 100 this week (#61), Justin Timberlake is already moving on to its follow-up.

Tapping Anderson .Paak to assist, the cut – ‘Don’t Slack’ – is just as funky as its predecessor.

“Okay now don’t slack / I need all my racks / No, we don’t hold back / Act like you know that,” they sing.
