And, while European fans were ready to get their latest taste of what the diva had to offer on stage, the top of this month brought with it news she was forced to cancel the remainder of the tour due to “severe pain”  (click here to read more).

As ‘Black Panther’ fever continues to work its way around the globe, some of that excitement has seen itself rub off on the film’s official accompanying soundtrack.  With reports already surfacing the album is set to top next week’s Billboard 200, its preceding singles have already started leaving their prints on the Billboard Hot 100’s upper rankings.

The set’s lead single, ‘Pray For Me’ by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar, pounced to the top of streaming and digital sales just a day after its release.  Now, with a full tallying week in its rearview, the critically acclaimed collabo has not only made an impressive top 10 debut on the Hot 100 but also is a top contender for next week’s top 5.

Sam Smith may have opened with big numbers upon the release of his sophomore set, but that isn’t slowing down his work ethic.

Fresh from a well-received showing at the Grammys, the British superstar stopped by The Ellen Show to perform current single ‘Pray.’

Thus far, his project ‘The Thrill Of It All’ has yet to produce a hit as big as lead offering ‘Too Good At Goodbyes.’ And while album sales and touring seem to be his end game, an extra would certainly help on both fronts.
