Justin Bieber cemented his monopoly on the Hot 100’s upper dectet this week with hits ‘Love Yourself’ and ‘Sorry.’

After dethroning longtime chart champion Adele just two weeks ago with the latter, the former has now pushed her from the #2 spot and entered him in history books as the youngest act to simultaneously occupy the #1 and #2 spots on the Hot 100.

Joining his previous Hot 100 accomplishments as “youngest act to debut at number 1”  and “youngest act to log 3 songs in the top 10 simultaneously,” it’s pretty safe to say Bieber is hotter than ever!  As if that’s not enough, industry analysts predict the Grammy-nominated beau will replace himself on the chart’s summit next week.

Until we find out if such is true, tuck in below to see this week’s chart check:

Rapper J. Cole may have just turned 30, but it looks like he’s the one handing out gifts.

Indeed, in celebration of his birthday, the ‘Lights Please’ performer has shed light on a new live project.  Recorded from a show at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C., the 13-track set is mostly comprised of live renditions of tunes found aboard his 2014 Grammy-nominated album ‘Forest Hills Drive.’

Before we find out if he’ll be walking away with any of the coveted trophies at this year’s ceremony, tuck in below to get a peek at his new live offering:

As the age old adage goes, how one starts is how it’ll be.

‘Mess’ best defines the kick-off of Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ campaign, hence it’s little surprise that on the cusp of its release the muckiness continues.

Moments ago we reported that the troubled LP was briefly made available to stream on TIDAL – thus pre-empting whatever surprise element was planned.

And though the music itself has since been pulled ahead of official roll-out, the official tracklist was made viewable to listeners.

It’s the day few thought would ever arrive.

Rihanna‘s eighth studio album ‘ANTI’ had become so elusive that its actual existence begun to be called into question.

Muckied and marred by one of the most shockingly shambolic roll-outs in recent memory, one has to wonder if the model herself ever saw light at the end of the tunnel for the LP – which has spawned three singles and only half a hit.

Following today’s launch of new single ‘Work’ featuring Drake, the Bajan sensation’s latest body of work has arrived early…on TIDAL.

Kanye West has never been one to hold his tongue. And today is no different.

After formally changing the name of new album from ‘SWISH’ to ‘Waves’ this morning, the rapper was on the receiving end of a light lashing from Wiz Khalifa.

The pair share an ex a-piece in the form of Amber Rose, but clearly don’t share the same sentiments when it comes to the title of Ye’s LP.

Wiz tweeted the following to fans after the announcement…

The fourth first single from Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ LP premiered today and has already found its way to the top of iTunes.

Its name? ‘Work.’

Its location? Here.

Now, as it garners mixed reviews online, the song’s writers have released its lyrics online for fans before the release of its parent album later on this week.

Is it fourth time lucky for Rihanna? It’s beginning to seem so.

After mounting a monstrosity of an album campaign for new LP ‘ANTI’ last year, the star finally looks to be shining bright with comeback effort ‘Work.’

Unleashed earlier today, the Drake-assisted track is being billed as the project’s “first single,” yet in reality is the fourth cut lifted from the troubled set.

Fans of the 27-year-old appear to be both forgiving and forgetful, because the the Boi-1da production has hit an impressive initial milestone.

Rihanna has put rumors of retirement to rest with the arrival of brand new single ‘Work.’

After a string of unsuccessful attempts at securing a hit, the 27-year-old has enlisted ex-lover Drake for the latest taste of eighth album ‘ANTI,’ which arrived as a “surprise” moments ago.

The pair’s previous team up resulted in chart-topper ‘What’s My Name,’ naturally begging the question of whether they can recreate the same magic that made the 2010 track such a smash.

With the latter being exactly what Ms. Fenty’s career has been thirsty for over the last year, is the Drizzy duet enough to mop up the mess?

Following her impressive performance in the Fox series ‘Scream Queens’ KeKe Palmer continues on in her quest for Hollywood glory in the new movie ‘Imperial Dreams.’

Starring ‘Star Wars‘ actor John Boyega the release was initially set for a 2014 release date and was shot before the actor became a household name via the aforementioned movie’s latest chapter.

A new due date for ‘Dreams’ is yet to be set.

What it’s all about?

Wiz Khalifa has found a friend in Adele‘s ‘Hello.’

Impressed by the cut and it’s unstoppable sales run, the rapper has remixed the song as it continues to support its parent album ‘25′ and as he looks forward to the 58th Grammy awards where he can expect to rub shoulders with a number of his peers who have also covered the song.

However, it’s safe to say that very few of theirs sound anything like Khalifa’s.

Why?

Kanye West may be convinced his new LP is the “best album of all time,” but the rapper can’t seem to settle on a name that sticks.

For, the project – originally due last year – was initially christened ‘So Help Me God’ only to be newly baptized as ‘SWISH.’

Now, just two weeks before its elaborate global roll-out, the set has undergone another name change.

Find out what Ye has opted for now…
