If anyone thought Adele‘s reign had wrapped, think again.

Snatching the spotlight from her peers, the 10-time Grammy winner resurfaces on the Pop radar with ‘Send My Love (To Your New Lover).’

Unwrapped moments ago at the Billboard Music Awards 2016, the elegant clip’s arrival is poised to make waves across charts and airwaves globally charts.

‘Send My Love’ comes after universal hit ‘Hello’ and follow-up ballad, ‘When We Were Young.’ Shifting a mind blowing 3.38 million copies in the US in its opening week, ’25’ recently surpassed sales of eight million copies in the states, moving Adele ever closer to achieving that coveted Diamond certification.

Is the latest wave of Adele mania about to be unleashed this summer? It appears so.

Following the gargantuan success of ‘Hello,’ housing album ’25’ exploded at retail and has, since its November 2015 release, sold over 17 million copies worldwide.

Seemingly content, the British bred superstar has spent much of 2016 focussed on touring the globe. So much so, that the LP’s second single ‘When We Were Young’ received a limp push and no traditional video. [It still hit top ten, but we digress…]

If any of her contemporaries were beginning to think “coast clear” then they may need to revise their strategy. Because, moments ago, the 28-year-old previewed the video for ’25’s official third single – the Max Martin moulded ‘Send My Love (To Your New Lover).’

Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ era has offered many a visual treat since its launch in 2015.

From the cinematic (and critically divisive) ‘Bitch Better Have My My Money’ to the cool, calm and understated ‘Kiss It Better’, the project’s supporting visuals have gone a long way to tip sales and streams of the project over the 2 million units point in the United States.

Today, her cut ‘Pose‘ does its part to help her commercial cause.

How?

With a little help from Camp Beyonce

Beyonce is building more than a new album, she’s moulding an empire.

As reported, the diva extraordinaire is morphing her Parkwood Entertainment imprint into a label that houses artists beyond herself. One of said signees are sister duo Chloe x Halle.

YouTube sensations with over half a million subscribers, the teen sensations (aged 18 and 16 respectively) are now being shepherded by the ‘Formation’ maven.

Naturally, then, all eyes and ears are on their collective output.

The first taste arrived today in the form of ‘Drop’ – the group’s new video.

After a string of professional and personal successes over the last year, ‘So High’ hitmaker John Legend has been just that – riding high on award wins, chart-topping hits, and more.

Now, as if forthcoming fatherhood wasn’t enough to sing about, the Grammy & Academy Award winning crooner can boast delivering record ratings for WGN America as his new show, ‘Underground’ (starring Jurnee Smollett-Bell), drew in a whopping 2.5 million with its Wednesday night premiere.

Taking to AOL in a recent interview, Legend weighed in on the controversy surrounding the show as well as racial tension in the U.S. today (ripping into Donald Trump‘s ‘racist rhetoric’).  When quizzed on his new album, however, the singer delighted fans with news they should expect the project in late 2016.

Tuck in to hear his thoughts on ‘surprise’ album releases, a la ‘Beyonce,’ and if his 5th album will be unveiled with a similar rollout:
