Even with 11 studio albums, dozens of mixtapes, EPs, and more, rapper Gucci Mane‘s Hot 100 history – outside of guest appearances on rap duo Rae Sremmurd‘s #1 hit ‘Black Beatles’ and Selena Gomez’s ‘Fetish’ – has not sung of much top 30 success.

In fact, as of September 2017, Big Guwop had never been able to boast ownership of a top 30 single as a leading artist.  However, that all changed thanks to his Migos-assisted single, ‘I Get the Bag,’ which – as of time reported – is on its way to helping him bag his first ever top 10!

‘Havana’ is proving itself to be the hit former Fifth Harmony beauty Camila Cabello‘s been praying for.

After a slow start to her solo career with the ill-received promotional single, ‘Crying in the Club,’ Cabello is crying tears of joy after a slew of live performances helped hoist ‘Havana’ – the first official cut from her debut solo album, ‘The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving.’ – to the top 20 (which it cracked this week).

Now, thanks to the long-awaited unveiling of its accompanying music video, the song has shot into the top 5 on iTunes charts.  Details inside:

It’s an awesome time to be pop-rocker P!nk.

The powerhouse songstress – who saw the Billboard 200 welcome her to her second consecutive chart-topper, ‘Beautiful Trauma’ – is also delivering disappointing news on the Hot 100 side of the charts to those who’d branded the set’s first single, ‘What About Us,’ a flop.

A politically charged number, the tune was threatening to deliver the second time in the singer’s nearly 20 year career that her album’s lead single did not crack the top 20 (the first being 2003’s ‘Try This’). However, thanks to some added promo the week of its parent album’s release,  ‘What’ has been lifted to a  new Hot 100 peak with promise to go even higher next week.

Look below to see where it and all of your faves o’ the day landed on this week’s refreshed Hot 100 chart check.

The ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ franchise continues to defy the odds.

Dismissed upon its debut as a momentary dose of ratchet, the show (in its many guises) has become a staple of VH1’s primetime programming.

Despite cranking out four Hot 100-charting singles thanks to help from big named hitmakers Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Migos, and more, Calvin Harris’ latest album –  ‘Funk Wav Bounces Volume 1’ – is threatening to become his first album since 2011 to not lay claim to at least one top 10 single.

Undoubtedly hoping to change that fate, the superstar DJ/producer has lifted a fifth release from the set – the Kehlani and Lil Yachty assisted ‘Faking It.’  Does the tune pack enough punch to power Harris to Billboard’s upper rankings?

The soulful singer covers the latest issue of FLOOD Magazine.

Riding the wave of buzz created by single ‘Sky Walker,’ the crooner is gearing up for the release fourth studio album ‘War & Leisure’ – which is due before the year’s end.
