’24k Magic’ maestro Bruno Mars continue to sprinkle his magic on the Hot 100 thanks to the latest single from the set, ‘That’s What I Like.’

The R&B banger, which recently got the visual treatment, got its biggest sales and streaming boost from a high octane performance from this year’s Grammy Awards two weeks ago.  Zooming to #4 as a result, the move – coming as Mars’ 13th run in the chart’s top 5 –  has given him the distinct honor of having the “most top 5 singles this decade among males.”  With ‘That’s What I Like’s ascension, he is tied with pop megastar Rihanna for the overall count (starting 2010).

As we await news on next week’s charts to see the impact the song’s recently released visual had on its sales and streaming – and to see if Rih’s ‘Love on the Brain’ will break their tie – tuck in below to see who joins them in this week’s refreshed “Chart Check:  Billboard Hot 100”:

Well, damn.  As soon as it went “all the way up” the hype around Remy Ma‘s second Nicki Minaj diss, ‘Another One,’ went right back down.

The Terror Squad’s First Lady got a presidential dragging on Twitter after she unleashed the follow-up to ‘Shether’ (her highly praised verbal smackdown delivered to her femcee foe, Minaj,  just last Saturday).  As the Harajuku Barbie has yet to wield a response, Ma thought it a good idea to taunt her by releasing the Drake/DJ Khaled-inspired ‘Another One’ (click here to listen if you haven’t heard it).

It’s pretty safe to say it wasn’t as well received as its jaw-dropping predecessor.  See what we mean:

It’s been a year since the premiere and disappearance of ‘Team,’ the lead single from Iggy Azalea’s sophomore album ‘Digital Distortion.’

And, while 2016 may have seen her name atop many-a-headline for personal reasons, musical dealings didn’t see her name-checked nearly as often.  With all of that behind her, a recent string of tweets from the saucy Aussie reveals she doesn’t intend to make 2017 a repeat.

Taking to the social media outlet yesterday (March 2), Azalea gave fans an update on the serially delayed project and promised new music would be coming soon.  Like…very soon.
