Much like they voiced a strong disapproval of Lifetime’s 2015 biographical movie on Whitney Houston, simply titled ‘Whitney,’ the pop icon’s family is expressing similar opposition to the forthcoming biopic based on her daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

As we reported here, TV One is gearing up to air Bobbi’s life story in an unauthorized, made-for-TV film to chronicle her demise up to her untimely death in 2015 at the young age of 22.  Titled ‘Bobbi Kristina,’ the flick is set to hit screens on October 8th, but may never see the light of day if Kristina’s father – singer Bobby Brown – has his say.

Joining forces with his late daughter’s estate, Brown’s brought forth a lawsuit to stop the film from airing:

‘…Ready For It,’ the latest release from Taylor Swift‘s highly anticipated new album, ‘Reputation,’ is causing quite the stir despite having only one full tracking week to its credit.

Already occupying the top slot on charts with the set’s first single, ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ a look at this week’s charts see her name penciled in again with ‘…Ready’ as it made an impressive #4 debut on this week’s Hot 100.  The tune – produced by Max Martin & Shellback – was helped to a seat at the top 5’s table thanks to a handsome mix of streaming and downloads (approximately 135,000).  With its commercial performance, Swift not only joins an exclusive club of women who have had concurrent top 5 singles over their careers, but she also joins an exclusive club of hitmakers that have had two singles sell over 100,000 copies in the same week.  All of this before ‘…Ready’s video drops!

In late 2014, the pop darling made history for becoming the first female artist to replace herself at the Hot 100’s summit when her hit, ‘Blank Space,‘ took the place of its predecessor, ‘Shake It Off.’  Could she be readying a repeat?

Time will tell.  Until then, tuck in below to see who joins her in the top 25 on this week’s refreshed TGJ  Chart Check…

For R&B loyalists, Chante Moore has always offered more than some of her better-known peers.

Soaring into the scene in 1992, Moore nabbed Gold glory with her debut set ‘Precious’ and a Top Ten hit with her 1999 single ‘Chante’s Got a Man.’

Alas, without the money and marketing employed to turn her peers Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton into household names, Moore often finds herself ignored or overlooked in conversation by those who aren’t aware of her contributions to her field.

That’s done little to stop her though. For, as some of the artists she rose with now find their careers (and voices) shattered, she continues to soar on a live music front.

How high?
