It appears not even the combined star power of Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, and Miley Cyrus is potent enough to keep their collaborative effort, ‘Don’t Call Me Angel,’ afloat on the Hot 100.

After making a promising #13 debut on the tally last week (as we reported here), many assumed the tune – the lead single from the Grande-curated soundtrack of the 2019 ‘Charlie’s Angels’ reboot film – was well on its way to soaring into the top 10.

What a difference a week makes.

Despite moderate radio airplay and streaming figures proving to be ‘Angel’s saving grace, the tune’s digital sales have failed to meet hype or expectations since its September 13 unveiling.  The sales decline is mirrored on the Hot 100 this week as the Max Martin-produced bop has plummeted out of the top 40.

After tip-toeing one week closer to doing so, it’s pretty safe to say Iggy Azalea doesn’t exactly fancy fellow rapstress Lizzo‘s chances of unseating her 2014 Charli XCX-assisted hit from history books.

On Monday (September 30), Billboard announced Liz (born Melissa Jefferson) had earned a fifth consecutive week at #1 on the Hot 100 with her breakout hit, ‘Truth Hurts.’  Extending its record as the longest running unassisted chart-topper by a female rapper (click here to read more), the song is now only three weeks shy of breaking the all-time record among femcees for longest running #1 overall.

Taking to Twitter to celebrate the news, Lizzo posted:

Azalea didn’t exactly appreciate Jefferson’s intentional failure to mention her.  Feeling slighted, the Grammy nominee clapped back with:

Admittedly, That Grape Juice was among the critics who panned Rihanna‘s last album, the 2016-released ‘Anti,’ for its adventurous offerings and an equally risky rollout that raised eyebrows and saw heads scratched at how it managed to be certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America a day after its release (despite selling less than 500 copies its first week).

Now, it appears the Bajan beauty will have the last laugh.

As calls for the project’s yet-titled follow-up increase, the diva’s fans – affectionately called #TheNavy – appear to be clinging tight to its content, a feat evidenced by its buoyancy on the Billboard 200.  Nearing its 200th week on the chart, the set’s enduring success on the tally has penciled Ri in its history books for quite the impressive feat.

Reclusive crooner Frank Ocean makes a colorful splash in the latest issue of W Magazine. 

It’s been three years since the singer-songwriter released bodies of work – and even still the controversial roll-out of ‘Endless’ and ‘Blonde’ (which arrived a day later) remains an industry hot topic.

For, unbeknownst to most, Ocean used one to fulfil his major label contract and (arguably) seized that buzz to drop his premiere the other. His first independent project.

Hailed as a masterstroke move by some, others wondered if there would be ramifications.

As for Ocean himself? He’s simply swimming on with his career plans – which include the release of new material.

In his accompanying interview feature, he dishes on his upcoming music and reflects on his headspace and rationale for the double-album move…
