First up?  Adele makes history as the 7th woman to earn two diamond certifications over the course of her career…

Rihanna‘s undying efforts to support the sovereign island of Barbados haven’t gone unnoticed by its people.

So, to honour the achievements she’s garnered since leaving the island as a teenager, she was invited to welcome Prince Harry of the British royal family to her homeland to celebrate its 50th year of independence away from British rule.

Once there, the pair made their way to the Kensington Oval cricket ground to enjoy the Golden Anniversary Spectacular Mega Concert.

While the likes of Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, and Ariana Grande all saw impressive sales and streaming boosts post their American Music Awards performances (November 20), pop princess Britney Spears – whose latest single ‘Slumber Party’ was released the same weekend of the telecast – unfortunately cannot boast the same.

In fact, the hoopla around the awards is exactly what many are blaming for the failure of Spears’ otherwise highly anticipated release (featuring Tinashe).  And, just as we reported here, ‘Slumber’s worrying response on digital charts didn’t exactly spell hopeful for the ‘Glory’ gem.

Now, with the officially refreshed charts available, we’re saddened to report we were right. Tuck in below to find out where it and all of your other favorites from the day landed on this week’s refreshed TGJ Chart Check:

It appears ‘Bang Bang’ beauty Jessie J is ending her 2016 with a bang!

2016 has been undoubtedly kind to Rihanna and Adele.

The pop megaforces, whose respective releases, ‘Anti’ and ’25,’ both topped the Billboard 200 this year and also birthed a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper each, also earned multiple platinum plaques to add to their already ever-decorated walls.

But, even with hotly selling tours and all of the aforementioned added, it still appears Taylor Swift (who was comparably inactive this year) still managed to squeeze past them to make her way to the top of Forbes’ ‘Highest Paid Musician’ list.

Mariah Carey may have only just split from finance James Packer, but she seems to have shaken off that relationship with a little help from dancer Bryan Tanaka. 

Many will recall reports that touted Tanaka as the reason Mimi’s billionaire ex called time on their union after being less than impressed with how close the singer and her “creative director” were getting. 

Well, 46-year-old Carey is more than playing into the romance rumours. She’s confirmed them in a very public way.

See what we mean below…
