‘Scandal’ is back for its 7th and final season.

Over the years, the Kerry Washington led show has boasted some of the most dramatic twists and turns in TV history and its swan song promises even more.

Forming a central part of the revived TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday) block of programming, the political drama looks set to go out with a bang. A consolation, no doubt, for having to

When news hit that Normani Kordei had signed a solo management deal, some began speculating about what that meant for her future with Fifth Harmony.

And it’s not altogether surprising to see why.

Indeed, it’s the same trajectory that took place in the frame leading up to the departure of former 5H member Camila Cabello.

However, in a new interview 21-year-old Normani says that’s not what’s going on…

After winning over fans with their critically acclaimed 2012 remake of the iconic film, ‘Steel Magnolias,’ Grammy-winning stars Jill Scott and Queen Latifah are teaming up with Lifetime again – this time to shed light on the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

As fans recall, pop icon Cher was originally attached as the film’s star and executive producer, but cited “family issues” as her reasons for pulling out.  Never to worry, Scott and Latifah have carried the torch in her stead with the film now titled ‘Flint.’  And, if the heart-tugging trailers are anything to judge by, they exceeded every expectation.

The last few years have seen a heightened lens placed on music streaming, on-demand services, and how they represent consumer interests.  With that, Billboard – the industry leader in ranking music consumption and song popularity – has been faced with the task of continuously updating its means of data calculation to ensure fair and accurate reporting for chart placements.

Positions on the Hot 100 (singles charts) were at one time solely comprised of radio airplay and sales (physical and digital), while the Billboard 200 (album charts) were comprised solely of sales of the whole album (physical and digital).  In 2014 (as we reported here), after stunning fans with the incorporation of certain platform streaming figures in Hot 100 placements (read more here), the Billboard 200’s placement calculation formula was updated to include album and individual track streams and individual track downloads.  As time went on, the Hot 100’s data went on to include Pandora (read more here), Soundcloud (read more here), and more.  The moves – though controversial at the onset – were reflective of streaming becoming the industry’s biggest moneymaker (read more on that here).

Now, with controversy around ticket bundling, paid streaming (i.e. Spotify, Apple Music) versus free streaming (Youtube), and more considered, the Music Bible has revealed yet another shake-up in how it will formulate what data goes into placing songs and albums on their respective charts:

It’s no secret that MTV’s 2017 reboot of ‘TRL’ has been a miss with critics and viewers.

As reported here, the daily series premiered to a staggering 166,000 viewers on October 2nd.  To put that into context, that figure is less than half of the viewership that led it to its 2008 cancellation.  While some blamed the unfortunate Las Vegas terrorist attack (which also happened on Oct. 2) for the cause of the low ratings, others pointed to the show’s new format, hosts, time slot, and so much more.

Whatever the cause, ‘TRL’s ratings have only declined since its premiere.  As of Friday (October 13th), only 123,000 tuned in.

Despite the discouraging figures, execs at MTV – namely its president, Chris McCarthy – are “incredibly optimistic” about its future.  Read about this and more from his telling sit-down with Billboard inside:
