Beyonce‘s BeyHive will no doubt be buzzing with jubilation today.

The singer’s sixth studio album ‘Lemonade’ hit the 1 million mark in pure (US) sales earlier this week – making it eligible for a Platinum plaque.

However, the formalising process is one that has to be actioned by an artist’s label and granted by the Recording Industry Association of America – more commonly known as the RIAA.

This morning brought with it the confirmation of what was essentially a guarantee.

With a recent string of successful hits solidifying his place within music’s elite, Justin Bieber hopes his winning streak stays uninterrupted with the release of new single ‘Company’ – lifted from his hit album ‘Purpose’.

Thus far, the LP has gifted the Canadian native three chart toppers, including ‘What Do You Mean’, ‘Sorry’ and ‘Love Yourself’. Hoping to give Rihanna and Katy Perry a run for their money, Justin  unleashed the video for the cut moments ago.

Fans hoping there would be a three-peat of Bajan beauty Rihanna‘s name in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 were sorely disappointed when the singer’s megahit, ‘Work,’ was worked right out of the upper dectet by P!nk and her latest hit ‘Just Like Fire’ (found on Disney’s ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’) soundtrack.

Coming as the trapeze-loving singer’s first swing into the top 10 since 2013 (15th overall), ‘Fire’ blazes her name into 4th place in Hot 100 history books (among women).

#Navy needn’t worry, however.  With the reappearance of Calvin Harris‘s ‘This Is What You Came For’ and a new #8 peak of ‘Needed Me,’ the latest lifted from ‘Anti,’ Rih is still pulling double duty in the upper rankings of the singles chart.

Could she be well on her way to nabbing her 15th #1?  Time will tell.  Until then, tuck in below to see where she and the rest of today’s movers and shakers landed on the refreshed Hot 100 via TGJ’s weekly ‘Chart Check’:
