One is the year’s biggest success story, the other has experienced the polar opposite.

Adele‘s out of the gate triumph with new single ‘Hello’ has many an artist running a mile from the undoubtable avalanche that will be its parent album – ’25.’

According to a new report, Rihanna is one of said stars who’s projects have been scattered into disarray in light of the British belter’s return.

Fans and critics alike have asserted this to be the case, but now a reputable industry source is alleging it true.

’25,’ which is tipped to hit 2 million in US sales first week, hits stores November 20th via Columbia/XL.

Janet Jackson has much to smile about.

The diva topped the charts with her comeback album ‘Unbreakable’ last month and has been selling out shows on its accompanying world tour.

Joy in Janet’s private life has clearly been a great source of warmth for her her too.

Married to billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana since 2012, the singer seemed keen to share their love with a new Instagram selfie backstage at the Minneapolis stop of her ‘Unbreakable World Tour.’ She posted the snap above with the caption:

Feels so good to be home
My baby and me!
#UnbreakableMinneapolis

Released last week, the track was always set for a David vs Goliath showdown with Adele’s unstoppable hit ‘Hello.’

However, it currently sits at #5 on iTunes – behind two Justin Bieber songs as well as Drake’s still blazing ‘Hotline Bling.’

Though obviously early days, the track’s arguable under-performance (see: lead single from a new album) has many of the “Arianators” ready for what else the singer’s ‘Moonlight’ LP has in store.

Responding to a curious fan, Grande revealed that supporters may have to wait some time to hear more…
