Detractors who thought Taylor Swift‘s continued dismantling of monumental Billboard records was set to slow down in 2021 are already being proven wrong – and it’s just January.

In late 2020, Swift surpassed Whitney Houston‘s longstanding record for ‘most weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 (among women)’ when her eighth studio album, ‘Folklore,’ earned its 7th week atop the tally (click here to read more).

As if that wasn’t enough, just weeks later she snatched Mariah Carey‘s record for ‘most weeks inside the top 10 of the Billboard 200 (among women)’ when her albums, ‘Evermore’ and ‘Folklore,’ were both spotted in the the hit list’s #2 and #6 spots respectively.  The feat pushed the 31-year-old to a career cumulative total of 219 weeks in the top 10 at the time, blasting past Carey’s career total of 218.

This week, Swift collected yet another chart triumph.

‘Nothing in This World’ singer KeKe Wyatt is in a world of trouble after taking to social media to lend a fiery rant some say downplayed centuries of mistreatment experienced by African Americans.

Wyatt – a regular “talent show” judge on the Bigo platform – took time from weighing in on guests’ vocal abilities to weigh in on social issues, namely what she suggested was an undue monopoly Black people have on “oppression.”

During a heated debate with reality star Milan Christopher, the songstress challenged the notion of which racial groups, ethnicities, and nationalities have experienced the most disenfranchisement throughout history by pointing to Mexicans and Jews as examples of people who have experienced similar social injustices.

At the height of her argument, Wyatt even asserted bi-racial people (like herself) have been marginalized at the hands of Black people – a notion that set Twitter alight.

If nothing else, Timbaland is consistent.

The multi-Platinum hitmaker – one-half of the masterminds behind the Web sensation #VERZUZ alongside fellow producer extraordinaire Swizz Beatz – has never made a secret of his desire for Queen of Quiet Storm Anita Baker to be a guest on the viral platform.

Just five months ago, the 48-year-old took to Instagram to call for Baker to battle her fellow GRAMMY-winning R&B legend Sade – a post that drew thousands of “likes” and similar calls from his followers.

Fast forward to January 2021 (as both divas celebrated birthdays this month), Timbo took to press to reiterate his wish to have the ladies showcase their respective timeless catalogs on #VERZUZ.
