Nicki Minaj and David Guetta have seen their new single ‘Hey Mama’ rise seven spots on the UK’s Official Singles Chart this week, soaring to #10 after spending last week at #17.

The number appears on Guetta’s new album ‘Listen’ and was supported by a live performance put on by the pair at the Billboard Music Awards.

The single’s success occurs as Minaj’s new singles ‘Feeling Myself’ and ‘The Night Is Still Young’ push their parent album ‘The Pinkprint’ closer to the 1 million units sold milestone in the United States.

Elsewhere, Fetty Wap’s ‘Trap Queen’ rises eight places to claim the #21 spot as the aforementioned ‘Feeling’ debuts at #64 following the release of its Beyonce-backed music video.

Now, much to the dismay of competition, Cobbs’ summer due sophomore effort – kicked off by the #1 single ‘Jesus Saves’ – is looking to follow its predecessor’s suit.

Dishing exclusively to That Grape Juice, Tasha talks about her new effort, battling depression, and if she’ll ever find herself starring in her own reality show.  It all awaits below:
