Looks like Lil Dicky was just the tricky to help R&B bad boy Chris Brown ascend back to top 10 glory on the Hot 100.  The crooner – who not only released mixtapes and a 45 track studio album (‘Heartbreak on a Full Moon’) last year but was also featured on countless other rappers and singers’ offerings – has consistently missed the chart’s upper rankings despite firing a number of shots in its direction.

To the surprise of…well…no one, VH1 absolutely dominated Monday night (March 26) ratings.

In fact, among non-sports related or non-news related cable programming, the network’s shows occupied the top 4 slots of the night’s 50 most watched original telecasts.  With the usual tally-toppers – ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ & ‘Leave It To Stevie’ – leading the pack, the duo of series was joined by newcomer, ‘Teyana & Iman.’

Making its highly anticipated premiere on Monday night, the reality series – which chronicles the life and love of singer/actress Teyana Taylor and basketball player Iman Shumpert – was greeted with such fanfare it landed in the top 5 of the night’s overall airings.

Tinashe‘s new album may be called ‘Joyride,’ but the journey to its release has been more of a bumpy ride.

Indeed, the set was first announced almost three years ago and even spurned a like-titled tour. And yet it was plagued by one push-back after the other when its various “lead” singles struggled to ignite the charts.

And while one would assume that the eventual establishment of a release date would have the 24-year-old hungry to deliver commercially, she’s saying that’s not her priority.
