Bryson Tiller is riding the wave of success thanks to his feature on DJ Khaled’s ‘Wild Thoughts.’

Looking to inject some of that momentum into his own campaign, the singer took to Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform ‘Run Me Dry.’

The track is the latest to be issued from his sophomore album ‘True To Self,’ which topped the charts upon its release back in May.

Cardi B‘s ‘Bodak Yellow’ ain’t just helping her make money moves, but it’s assisting with some impressive chart moves too.  That’s right, just as we reported last week, the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ starlet’s breakout single could very well be on its way to breaking records if the steam behind it continues at the rate it has.

We’ve already told you that once it hit #28 it made her the first artist from the VH1 franchise to have a solo top 30 hit (since its inception in 2011), but now – thanks to a lofty leap to #8 on this week’s refreshed Hot 100 – the song treads on new territory…

In an interview with Billboard recently, Bloom – the lawyer representing a number of people who allege the R&B singer exposed them to the incurable disease – directly responded to detractors who have not only dismissed his most famous accuser (Sharpton) for her appearance, but also because she was not actually infected.

Asserting the reason her law firm even chose to represent Sharpton and others is because they actually have proof to corroborate their claims, Bloom was very open about her intent for the Grammy winner and even dropped some bombshells along the way.

Responding to word Ush was planning a counter suit and more, click below to read highlights from the interview below (in case you missed it):

Just three weeks ago Lana Del Rey delighted fans when her fifth studio album, ‘Lust For Life,’ hit shelves and eventually the top of the Billboard 200 with sales equivalence of over 107,000.  Besting rap acts Tyler the Creator and Meek Mill for the honor, the set’s dominance over album charts also granted it the honor of nabbing the 3rd best first week sales of a female album released this year (behind Katy Perry‘s ‘Witness’ and Lorde‘s ‘Melodrama’).

Sadly, like Perry (who experienced the biggest second week drop in history), Del Rey’s reign was short-lived to say the least…
