John Legend is back!

The soulful crooner teased new music last week and this week wastes no time divulging details. Namely the title of his new single, which is christened ‘Love Me Now.’

The reveal came in the newest issue of Notion Magazine, which the 37-year-old covers.

Inside his interview feature, the Grammy winner muses on his past, present, and future. As such, discussed was his entry into the music industry, the various set-backs encountered, and of course his upcoming new music. Legend also spilled on fatherhood.

With 88,000 downloads sold and a whopping 22.8 million streams its first full week of availability, The Weeknd‘s newest tune – ‘Starboy’ – has zoomed from its debut spot of #40 last week to #3 this week. The Daft Punk-assisted number may even see higher heights next week thanks to a much talked-about live premiere via ‘SNL’ last weekend (watch that here if you missed it).

Yet, while the ‘Earned It’ crooner and co. celebrate their victories, there’s one singer who probably isn’t in the most celebratory mood – Lady Gaga.  That’s right, after ‘Perfect Illusion’ – the lead single from her 5th album ‘Joanne’ – made a moderate #15 debut three weeks ago, the tune plunged out of the top 40 the next week.  And, while fans were hopeful the song’s video would help hoist it upward, this week has proven the exact opposite.  Yep, it’s now dropped out of the top 50!

Lady Gaga just teased a new ‘Joanne’ jam.

With the October 21st release of the album rapidly drawing near, the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime headliner is hitting the radio rounds.

Today’s stop brought her to On Air With Ryan Seacrest.

While in the studio, Mother Monster offered an impromptu rendition of a song named ‘Just Another Day.’

Describing the song – which is the last song on the LP – Gaga told Seacrest:

“It’s probably the most New York-glam-pop song on the album. It’s the one that airs from David Bowie, Mark Bolan, and then maybe from some like obscure, London Metal stuff, The Beatles. It also kind of airs from the electro-clash movement from New York and that’s kind of when I was coming up, was right after that.”
