Her Nicki Minaj-assisted single, ‘The Light is Coming,’ may be off to an uncharacteristically slow start (finally cracking the Hot 100 this week at #95), but ‘No Tears Left to Cry’ – the inaugural offering from Ariana Grande‘s forthcoming fourth studio effort, ‘Sweetener’  – continues to enjoy sweet success.

After making a record-setting debut on the main singles chart in April (click here to read more on that), the Max Martin-produced cut went on to remain a mainstay in the tally’s top 10.  Now, with a handsome mix of streams, digital downloads, and radio airplay to its credit, ‘Cry’ has become her latest release to cross the platinum threshold.

As if that’s not enough to celebrate, the song rocketed back into the top 10 this week after a brief hiatus.  Look inside to see who joined her in this week’s TGJ Chart Check:  Hot 100:

Fans of ‘Twice’ singer Christina Aguilera probably had to look twice when checking for her latest album, ‘Liberation,’ on this week’s refreshed Billboard 200.

The set, her first studio album launched without a top 40 single preceding it, hit stores June 15th and made a respectable top 10 debut on last week’s chart (click here to read more).  With slowed promo in the days that followed its premiere (as she’s preparing for the ‘Liberation’ tour in its support) as well as an onslaught of new releases to compete with, the combined circumstances led to LP’s expected drop on the Billboard 200.

What was unexpected, however, was just how far that drop would be.  Look inside to see where she landed and see who occupies the top 25 on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:  Billboard 200:
