Rihanna‘s fast food recipe continues to work wonders.

One look at the sales of ‘ANTI’ prove that her attempt at brewing a fine wine were fatally futile.

However, the Bajan sensation had a trick up her sleeve in the form of Calvin Harris‘ new single ‘This Is What You Came For.’

The model provides heavily altered vocals for the track, which is slaying out of the gate.

Boom!

Beyonce rocked countless corners of the internet this weekend with the release of her sixth studio ‘Lemonade.’

The fiercely anticipated set landed on TIDAL last night following the premiere of its accompanying short film of the same name on HBO.

With no word issued on the project’s broader roll-out (i.e. retail), many were left speculating as to what to expect.

Well, if new reports prove true, ‘Lemonade’ is set to be poured out onto the world’s largest music store in a mere of hours.

In Prince‘s short but resonating time on earth, the superstar was fiercely fervent about how and where his music was consumed.

Indeed, beyond his ardent activism for artist independence from the major label machine, he was a weary of the digital revolution and made a point to play that game on his own terms. It’s a decision which, in the wake of his sudden death aged 57,  is making the rush for access to his vast catalogue the definition of a treasure hunt.

Still, it hasn’t quelled the mass appetite to re-live the tunes that defined a generation and inspired many more.

A perusal of the iTunes charts illuminates this in earnest.

It’s the day Rihanna fans have waited so patiently for.  Following a four year wait, four “first” singles, a confusing campaign, temporary free access, and millions of streams, Ri’s faithful #Navy (and curious music lovers) can finally have their hands on the official ‘Anti’ release.

As a reward for their patience, the version lifted to iTunes just moments ago also features 3 new songs.  While this doesn’t seem to be enough to satiate critics, many of whom have panned the project as a “confused body of work,” “inconsistent,” “lacking clear direction,” and more, fans – on the other hand – seem to be more forgiving…and more generous with their coins.

Indeed, after racking up over 13 million free spins and 1 million free downloads, itunes Charts indicate the songstress may be well on her way to earning some (extra) bucks for her hard work.  Details below:

Is it fourth time lucky for Rihanna? It’s beginning to seem so.

After mounting a monstrosity of an album campaign for new LP ‘ANTI’ last year, the star finally looks to be shining bright with comeback effort ‘Work.’

Unleashed earlier today, the Drake-assisted track is being billed as the project’s “first single,” yet in reality is the fourth cut lifted from the troubled set.

Fans of the 27-year-old appear to be both forgiving and forgetful, because the the Boi-1da production has hit an impressive initial milestone.

When true talent meets creativity, success is almost always an inevitability. It’s a lesson the masses are learning once again courtesy of Missy Elliott.

Yesterday saw the iconic rapper explode back onto the scene with ‘WTF (Where They From)’ – the lead single from her first album in over a decade.

After such a lengthy spell away from the spotlight, it naturally begs the question of whether the public would welcome back Elliott with open arms (and wallets).

The answer, at the moment, appears to be an emphatic “yes!”
