Singer, songwriter, actor, and music/TV producer John Legend has worn many hats over his illustrious career, but as revealed by Sunday’s ‘John Legend and Family: a Bigger Love Father’s Day,’ dad-of-two is the title he wears proudest.

Aired June 21, the star-studded ABC special – which featured big named guests like Anthony Anderson, Common, Michael Ealy, Ne-Yo, Shaquille O’Neal, Scottie Pippen, Marlon Wayans, Stevie Wonder, and many more – was an ode to entertainment industry fathers toplined by Legend.

Highlighted by the EGOT winner performing cuts from his recently released studio album, ‘Bigger Love’ (click here to stream), the one-hour event gave viewers a peek into his private family life with fashion model/TV personality wife Chrissy Teigen and their two children, Luna and Miles.

Tekashi 6ix9ine continues to serve as one of Hip-Hop’s most polarizing figures.

Because, while he commands a large legion of fans, he’s receiving little support from his contemporaries. Many of whom have slammed him for being a “rat” informant. A label linked to his much publisized legal woes.

Never one to hold his tongue, 6ix9ine seized the moment during an Instagram Live promoting new single ‘TROLLZ (ft. Nicki Minaj)’ to address his detractors.

In a fiery rant, he unleashed on Future – who he accuses of being inauthentic and not taking care of his children. He also had choice words for Meek Mill – stressing that both rappers rely on Drake for hits. Ouch.

Look at her now sounds about right.

It’s been nearly three years since Selena Gomez released new music from an official studio album and fans apparently couldn’t wait to get their eyes and ears on the latest from the Pop darling.  Dropping not one, but two new singles just a day apart, Gomez stunned fans with the haunting ballad, ‘Lose You To Love Me,’ before unveiling the uptempo ‘Look at Her Now.’  While the latter is looking to make its inaugural appearance on next week’s refreshed Hot 100, the former stormed digital sales, streaming, and radio tallies (as we reported here) to make a #15 premiere on this week’s singles chart.

Billboard also reports:

‘[‘Lose You to Love Me’ enters the Hot 100 with] 36,000 sold (digital sales), 15.3 million streams, and 14.1 million in radio audience impressions.’

Coming as the second-most impressive Hot 100 entrance of her career (following 2015’s #9 debut of ‘Good For You’), ‘Lose You’s first week performance is all the more impressive considering the song impacted charts based on just two days of sales counts due to its unconventional release date.

As we extend our congratulations to Selena, look inside to see who joins her in the top 25 of this week’s edition of TGJ Chart Check:
