Clearly keen to avoid the practice of following trends on radio, Beyonce‘s efforts to push albums over singles continues to work in her favour on a sales front.

Fortunately, this strategy-which protects her from commercial woes her R&B sibling Usher currently faces– has done little to stop British radio programmers from throwing their support behind her number ‘Hold Up.’

After being dramatically fired from The Real, things are finally looking up for Tamar Braxton. 

As reported yesterday, the 38-year-old has landed her own talk show with Steve Harvey‘s production company.

Following the announcement, the star was invited on-stage by big sister Toni Braxton during her Atlanta concert last night.

Much to the delight of the thousands in attendance, Tamar belted signature hit ‘Love & War’ – several lines from which are particularly poignant given the recent happenings.

Peep the powerful performance below…

If you thought Mike Will Made It‘s star faded just as quickly as it’d risen, think again.

The hitmaking producer – who has wielded hits for the likes of Ciara, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, and many more – taps his ‘Pour It Up’ co-star Rihanna for the lead single for ‘Ransom 2’ (the follow-up to his 2014 release ‘Ransom‘).

Titled ‘Nothing is Promised,’ the tune bumps over an EarDrummers beat while Rih coos about a number of usual topics (n*ggaz, money, shopping, drinking).  Coming as her latest collabo with a super-producer in just a month (see:  Calvin Harris ‘This Is What You Came For’), it appears the Bajan beauty is on quite the roll while her own solo project ‘Anti,’ still maintains buoyancy in the top 5 of the album charts.

That  Rihanna reign just won’t let up and now you can get into ‘Promised’ below to get a reminder why:

Tamar Braxton‘s allegedly problematic behaviour on ‘The Real’ has done little to tarnish her friendship with Steve Harvey.

Accused of berating and belittling several employees during her time on the aforementioned series, Braxton’s departure from the series- much to the delight of her fans- dos not mark the end of her run on television.

Why?

Harvey has given her her very own talkshow.
