“Dyn-o-mite” was certainly one way to describe the reaction to the trailer of Netflix’s ‘Good Times‘ reboot, but that explosion of commentary certainly wasn’t comprised solely of good reactions.

Helmed by Carl Jones (known for his work on the controversial and satirical 2000s series ‘The Boondocks’), the new ‘Good Times’ boasts a who’s who of executive producers including Norman Lear, Seth MacFarlane, and Stephen Curry as well as big names like Yvette Nicole Brown, Wanda Sykes, Jay Pharoah, and Marsai Martin in its voice cast.

Yet, while the new series looks to offer a modernized and refreshed take on the classic sitcom’s Evans family, some have argued that take may be a little too fresh.

So much so, they’re calling for a boycott of the show ahead of its April 12 arrival.

They don’t call her the Songbird Supreme for nothing.

When it comes to Hot 100 stats, Mariah Carey reigns supreme and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who can match or surpass her seemingly insurmountable feats.

Beyond being the only solo artist in the 65-year history to have captured 19 #1 hits, she’s also the only artist to have topped the tally in four distinct decades. Elsewhere, she’s known as the first female act to debut at #1 (1995’s ‘Fantasy‘), the first act overall to have their first 5 solo singles reach #1, and she holds the title for most cumulative weeks at #1 (93 and counting).

And while those accomplishments are just the tip of the iceberg, one of the shiniest jewels in her Billboard crown was being one of two artists to lay claim to charting at least one top 10 hit every year for over a decade.

This week, she learned a third act seems poised to join that fold: The Weeknd.

Tyla may only have one album to her credit, but in the last year the 22-year-old has seen the term “history-making” attached to her name more than many acts well beyond her tenure.

This week, she penciled in yet another historic feat to her log when her self-titled debut album opened in the Billboard 200’s top 40.
