If you thought 2016 was a good year for Drake, your jaw will drop when you see how great his 2017 is going (post-Grammy snubs).

The rapper unleashed his latest project, ‘More Life,’ last week and has been steamrolling the competition since.  In addition to nabbing the year’s best first week sales with the “playlist album,” snatching the honor from Ed Sheeran‘s blockbuster album, ‘Divide,’ Drizzy dethroned himself by topping ‘Views’ for “best 24 hour and 1 week streaming…ever.”

Now, after all of that, he’s left his Young Money mentor, Lil Wayne, in the rearview with a jaw-dropping record.  Find out what inside:

Trey Songz’ 7th album, ‘Tremaine’ (released March 24th), zoomed to #2 on iTunes top 100 albums chart within hours of its release.  Granted, some of the set’s highlights like ‘Animal,’ ‘Song Goes Off,’ and ‘Nobody Else But You’ deserve some credit for their role in assisting, but the feat is undoubtedly due in greater part to his aggressive promo schedule.

Touching both sides of the pond in just a matter of days, Songz’ has hit GQ, Hot 97, Beats Radio 1, BET, and, of course, his now infamous Breakfast Club interview, all in support of the new LP.

We know you’ve gotten an earful about his Nicki Minaj drama from the Power 105 sit down already, but did you miss what he said about it everywhere else?  See it all inside:

Mary J. Blige is finally ready to showcase the ‘Strength Of A Woman.’

The Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul was initially set to release the album last December. Yet, few can fault her for any delays given that she’s still in the midst of a divorce with soon-to-be- ex- husband Kendu Issacs.

Powering through her problems, MJB has previewed the LP with taster singles ‘Thick Of It’ and ‘U+Me’ and will be bringing the full set to the table sooner than folk may think.

Pharrell Williams‘ foray into the film industry has proven to be effective.

Since penning ‘Happy,’ the infectious theme song set to the animated film ‘Despicable Me 2,‘ the super producer has found himself in the comfortable seat as a household name.

But throughout his quarter century career, Pharrell’s personal life and upbringing in Virginia Beach has always been a mystery of some sort.

That’s all set to change soon, though. Because the 43 year-old has reunited with FOX, the studio he worked with on the Oscar-nominated ‘Hidden Figures,‘ for a film based on his childhood.

John Legend is hitting the road.

The Grammy and Oscar winner is bringing his latest album ‘Darkness and Light’ to audiences across the globe.

Aptly, the trek has been christened the ‘Darkness & Light Tour.’

Released last December, the set yielded moderate hit ‘Love Me Now’ and upcoming single ‘Surefire.’

Since the LP’s roll-out,  Legend more omnipresent than ever. Indeed, there’s been the high profile performances, lucrative synch deals for a number of songs from the project, and a sizeable role in box office blockbuster ‘La La Land.’

He also recently teamed with Ariana Grande for a remake of the ‘Beauty & The Beast’ theme song.

In an industry less defined by the charts than before, he continues to prove that success is relative and winning comes in many flavours.

Anyway, enough of our rambling. Initial dates await below…
