Thanks to a viral Tik Tok challenge, ‘Savage Love’ has become one of the biggest hits of Jason Derulo‘s career.

In addition to being his first Platinum single since 2017’s Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign-assisted ‘Swalla,’ the Jawsh 685-produced cut is Derulo’s first Hot 100 top 10 hit in 5 years (as we reported here).

Now, in an effort to push the tune to higher Hot 100 heights, the Miami dance machine has enlisted fellow stage blazers BTS to assist with its remix (as we reported here).

Will help from the K-Pop septet (who are currently sitting at #1 on the charts with their tune ‘Dynamite’) be just what’s needed to hoist ‘Savage Love’ to similar heights?

Though hot on the promo trail of her recent EP, ‘Sounds Like Me’ (click here to stream), ‘American Idol’ alum Jordin Sparks is still finding time to guest star on the works of other artists.  Case in point? ‘Solid Gold’ by Keith Harris.

Having lent his craftsmanship to the likes of Madonna, Usher, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, and many more, the Grammy Award-winning record producer, songwriter and musical director is stepping from behind the board to take center stage with his own creations.

Titled ‘The Keith Harris Experience Volume 1’ (click here to stream), the August 28-released effort sees Harris join forces with Sparks for the electric cut, ‘Solid Gold.’

It’s been over two years since Miami dance machine Jason Derulo first announced his fifth studio album, ‘2Sides’ (originally titled ‘777’).

Introduced by the top 30 hit, 2017’s ‘Swalla’ (featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign), the project has seen a number of singles lifted in its support over the months to follow (see: ‘If I’m Lucky,’ ‘Tip Toe,’ ‘MamaCita,’ and more) – but no parent album has surfaced.

That may be set to change with the release of new single, ‘Too Hot.’  A summery, island inspired jam that samples Chaka Demus & Pliers’ “Murder She Wrote,” the song sees Derulo croon:

“You came to the club in the taxi, but I’m sure you’d prefer the Rolls,” he sings. “So we could get changed in the backseat, because it’s summertime and you know it’s too hot for clothes.”

Quavo‘s long-awaited debut solo album, ‘Quavo Huncho,’ dropped tonight and it already has the internet abuzz (click here to listen).

As if having a who’s who of guest stars on the LP isn’t enough, some of its content (namely the Nicki Minaj references on the cut, ‘Huncho Dreams’) have gotten their fair share of chatter.  Not even that noteworthy track has gotten lips moving like ‘CHAMPAGNE ROSÉ,’ which features Queen of Pop Madonna and rapstress Cardi B.

The trio, an unlikely pairing, hinted that they were working together back in March at Madge’s annual postOscar bash.  Now, over 6 months later, we can hear the fruit of their labor.  Listen inside:

Stefflon Don is set to unlock new mixtape ‘Secure’ this Friday and she’s bringing a host of major names along with her – Future being one of the most notable.

The rapper joins the British-Jamaican star on the song ‘What You Want,’ which received its worldwide debut tonight on Apple Music‘s Beats 1 radio with Zane Lowe.

A turn-up anthem, Steff says the song was purposefully crafted as such to feed-off Future’s well-established club jam sound.

During her fun-filled chat, she opened up about what it was like working with him, social media drama with Foxy Brown, her thoughts on Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Queen,’ and more.

Azealia Banks has finally unwrapped her new single ‘Treasure Island.’

Teased in earnest, the track is the latest to be lifted from her upcoming project ‘Fantasea II: The Second Wave’ – which is touted as being “due soon.”

The set serves as the sequel to her premiere mixtape ‘Fantasea’ and will also stand as her first album release for indie imprint eOne.

A buoyantly bouncy jam, the track uniquely arrives on YouTube ahead of its roll-out on streaming platforms next week.

In fierce fiery form, Banks makes clear that she is the treasure island:

“Hips roll slow like the waves on the low tide
The shoreline, you’re all mine
Ugh, n*gga I done gave you the co-sign
The pussy so good n*ggas call it a gold mine
The coin shine is something I might like
The sea queen gave you an invite.”
