In the United States, ‘Midnight Sky’ – the first single from Miley Cyrus‘ forthcoming new album ‘She is Miley Cyrus’ – enjoyed a promising but short run inside the Hot 100’s top 20.

To help push it closer to the summit of the British tally, the Cyrus promo train pulled into ‘The Graham Norton Show’ Friday (October 9) to deliver another rocking performance of the 80’s-inspired cut.

Ahead of the release of his debut studio album, ‘Leave Me Alone I’m Drunk,’ rapper O.T. Genasis enlists some big guns to assist with the latest single from the effort, ‘Back To You.’

In addition to tapping Chris Brown to lend his signature vocal stylings, Genasis gets a helping hand from R&B icon Charlie Wilson.  The latter’s inclusion is most fitting as ‘Back To You’ features a prominent sample of ‘Outstanding’ – a standout hit from the discography of Wilson’s legendary group Gap Band.

“Rock with it, I’m litted / My city, young Diddy (Ooh) / Chanel got you coverin’ up / Who else got you in the Gucci store runnin’ it up? / F*ck with me,” Brown and Genasis sing on the Bongo ByTheWay-produced track.
