Cop a gander of Cardi B!

The femcee is closing out a colossal year, but the spotlight is shining on her more intensely than ever.

The sparkly spread comes on the heels of a busy few weeks for Belcalis.

Indeed, beyond dropping new single ‘Money,’ (and shooting its incoming video), she launched her Fashion Nova line and was recently announced as a judge on Netflix‘s first music talent search ‘Rhythm & Flow.’ The New Yorker is also widely tipped to be amongst the leading names at next week’s Grammy nominations.

More power to her!

Ariana Grande owes her fans, affectionately called #Arianators, a big “thank you” as they’ve kept her latest hit, ‘thank u, next,’ atop the Hot 100 for a third week.

The ode to her exes – her first chart-topper – debuted at the tally’s summit three weeks ago and has kept a tight grip since.  Billboard reports:

“Next,” released on Republic Records and which debuted as Grande’s first Hot 100 No. 1 on the chart dated Nov. 17, spends a third week atop Streaming Songs, with 43.8 million U.S. streams (down 31 percent) in the week ending Nov. 22, according to Nielsen Music.

The track drops to No. 4 after two weeks atop Digital Song Sales, with 23,000 downloads sold (down 47 percent) in the week ending Nov. 22, and debuts at No. 36 on Radio Songs, with 31.8 million in all-format airplay audience (up 45 percent), in the week ending Nov. 25.

The impressive figures, yet noted decline, do spell a strong chance for the song being unseated from the Hot 100’s throne next week.  Until then, look below to see who joins Grande in the top 25 on this week’s TGJ CHART CHECK:

Kanye West fans recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the rapper’s fourth studio album, ‘808s & Heartbreak.’  Released November 24th, 2008, the set – which features the hits ‘Love Lockdown,’ ‘Heartless,’ ‘Coldest Winter,’ and more – is marked as a pivotal moment in the emcee’s career and modern Hip Hop history.

Music artist and longtime West collaborator Malik Yuself (who co-produced the LP) has announced a 10th anniversary Stateside tour in its honor.

There’s one catch:  Kanye West won’t be present.  Details inside:
