While the ‘Steve Harvey Show’s ‘Men of 90s R&B Week’ was kicked off with a visit from his legendary bandmates New Edition, singer Bobby Brown got a day all to himself.

Airing earlier today (June 15th), Brown dished on his recently released memoirs, ‘Every Little Step’ (which has already caused more than a little controversy).  Now, offering Harvey and viewers more excerpts from the book, the performer talked about his time with ex-wife/late pop icon Whitney Houston, having his heart broken by Janet Jackson, and so much more.

‘Try Me’ maestra DeJ Loaf is apparently trying to go for a record today it seems as the burgeoning rap diva dropped not one, not two, but three back-to-back music videos today.

Kicked off by ‘Goals,’ demure affair backed by a white backdrop, the rapstress – also draped in all white – spits some of her best lines to date about achieving her dreams.  She followed the heartfelt number with the cocky “Vibes/Chase Mine” and later wrapped up the trilogy of visuals with the reflective number “Who Am I?”

If you’ve been needing a Loaf fix, you may need to ready yourself for an overdose.  Pure fire from her ‘All Jokes Aside’ mixtape awaits below:

Nick-Jonas-Last-Year-Was-Complicated-thatgrapejuice

With hits ‘Jealous,’ and ‘Teacher’ to its credit, former Jonas Brother star Nick Jonas saw his debut album launch him to solo success.  Successfully breaking the chains of “teen pop star” to respected adult artist, the ‘Chains’ singer managed to wiggle his way to the Hot 100’s upper half more than once over his debut era.

Yes, the album itself managed an impressive placement on the Billboard 200 upon its arrival (#6 peak), but with 37,000 sold its first week the numbers weren’t exactly singing the same tune its singles boasted.  As ample buzz and heightened star power picked up any slack the figures left (in the eye of the general public), the triple threat divo – courtesy of his new album ‘Last Year Was Complicated’ (in stores now) – is ready to put both concepts to the test yet again.

Kicking the new era off with songs ‘Close’ and ‘Bacon,’ Jonas was hoping the releases would help his latest sizzle on charts in ways its predecessor did not.  Unfortunately, if newly surfaced reports are any indication, ‘Complicated’ misses the mark…quite a bit.

Drake-Views-promo-photo-thatgrapejuice

If you thought Drake was giving up his view from the top of the Billboard 200 anytime soon you were wrong.

For the 6th consecutive week, thanks to some record breaking streaming, the album charts have had his name penciled in its perch.  Passing the billion streams mark recently, ‘Views’ currently holds the record for the top four streaming weeks in U.S. history – by its lonesome.  Fending off stiff competition from the likes of Beyonce, Meghan Trainor, Ariana Grande, and so many more during its reign, word has it Drizzy will be enjoying a 7th week at the top next week.

But, before we get head of ourselves, tuck in to see this week’s refreshed Billboard 200 to find out where all of your other faves from today landed:

2016’s Hot 100 might as well be renamed ”Rihanna and Drake” charts.

Without fail the duo has dominated the tally with entries lifted from their most recent respective releases ‘Anti’ and ‘Views.’  And, while the two can also boast serious staying power on the Billboard 200 side of charts, their Hot 100 dealings have seen no equal this year (or ever for that matter).

As reported here, Drizzy continues to dance over the competition with his hit ‘One Dance’ as it enjoys its fifth non-consecutive run atop the singles chart.  Elsewhere, in the top 10, fans get a double shot of Rih as her hits ‘This Is What You Came For’ (with Calvin Harris) and ‘Needed Me’ are sitting tight in the lower half of the upper dectet.

With nearly 20 placements between them (a fifth of the entire chart), tuck in below to see where else Rih and Drizzy landed on this week’s refreshed TGJ Chart Check:
