2019’s only two months in and has already proven itself the best year of Ariana Grande‘s career.

Beyond ringing it in with the first Hot 100 chart-topper of the year, ‘thank u, next,’ the songstress followed by earning another one in the form of the Victoria Monet-penned, ‘7 Rings.’  Both tunes, found aboard her fifth studio album (also titled ‘thank u, next’) certainly increased anticipation for the gems that would accompany them aboard their parent project.

Evidence of that was found by the mass consumption of the LP upon its debut on February 8th.  As we reported here, the set was initially predicted to shift between 320,000-345,000 copies its first week alone.  With its inaugural tallying week now in its rearview, Billboard’s not only confirmed ‘thank’ will reign atop the Billboard 200 this week, but that’s come on the back of some record breaking streaming figures.

The result?  Ari’s nabbed the best first week sales of her career to date.  Details inside:

Much like the Super Bowl, the NBA All-Star Game’s musical guest stars are just as talked about as the teams vying for the championship.  Unlike this year’s Super Bowl, the Charlotte-hosted NBA All-Star Game was far from disappointing with its rocking introductory and halftime show performers.

After Meek Mill rocked the mic with a fiery medley of hits, North Carolina native J. Cole delivered the heat with live performances of his latest hit, ‘Middle Child,’ ‘A Lot,’ and more.

Mary J. Blige believes that efforts made to create a feud between Cardi B and the rapper Nicki Minaj only serves to hurt women in an already hostile world.

A world, which once saw her pitted against Faith Evans.

The ‘Love No Limit’ star was quizzed on the matter during her latest appearance on ‘The View‘ where she argued that Cardi is more than deserving of her Grammy she bagged at last week’s ceremony.

Despite circulating news that cites the Chicago police department as the source of reports that Jussie Smollett paid two former ‘Empire’ actors to stage his widely reported homophobic and racist attack (click here to read more on that), the singer/actor’s lawyers have come out swinging in his defense.

Big sister Toni in for the win!

The Grammy winning R&B songstress stepped in to defend sister Tamar Braxton after the ‘Love & War’ singer was under attack by Lindsay Lohan (as we reported here).  Lohan was none-too-pleased at news Tamar won the latest season of ‘Celebrity Big Brother,’ defeating her mother – Dina Lohan – in the process.

The result?  A social media slamming that saw the actress refer to Tamar as ‘conniving.’  See what happened below after Toni stepped in:

With every new report the stories surrounding the mysterious, alleged late January attack of singer/actor Jussie Smollett takes more twists and turns than a daytime soap opera.

As we previously reported, Chicago police originally stated there were no persons of interests discovered after reviewing hours of footage from “city street cams” near the location of the alleged incident.  Days later, they not only discovered two men but even made arrests in the days that followed that discovery.

Those first suspects – former ‘Empire’ actors – were released without charge in light of “new evidence.”  Now, CNN and a number of major outlets are reporting that new evidence revolves around an investigation that suggests Smollett orchestrated his own attack.  Details inside:

Cardi B is on quite the quest to cement herself as Hip-Hop’s hardest working woman.

For, fresh from dropping new collaboration with Bruno Mars, Belcalis has seen the video for Blueface‘s ‘Thotiana’ remix make its debut.

With the original already a top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, the refreshed version looks set to shoot the popular cut into the upper echelon of the charts.

As for Cardi’s contribution? She’s in raunchy form – both lyrically and visually.
