Justin Timberlake has a new reason to “dance dance dance,” a new year-end report reveals.

The singer’s summer 2016 hit, ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling,’ may have been snubbed for major recognition at the 2017 Grammys, but it appears Timberlake will have the last laugh as the ‘Trolls’ tune has beat out The Chainsmoker‘s ‘Closer,’ Drake‘s ‘One Dance,’ and even Rihanna‘s massive hit ‘Work’ to lay claim to the title of 2016’s best selling single.

In 2009, Nicki Minaj released a demo she had penned for a then-‘Rated R’ Rihanna named ‘Saxon.’

Alas, the number didn’t make the cut and was re-written to build ‘Talk That Talk‘s ‘Red Lipstick.’

This year, Azealia Banks follows in Minaj’s footsteps by unveiling a song she wrote and submitted to the ‘Pose’ purveyor after she was removed from her latest set ‘ANTI.’

Its name? ‘La Dominara‘, which means dominant woman in Spanish.

My house on 40 acres. I wake up, count cake up.  That’s million-dollar pay stubs. Bunch of lawyers and bankers e-mail me my statements. Rubber band, silver Lam’, Hundred grand in my Jacob, I see your man, he a fan, you a hater. You know Rih gettin’ cash.

While it’s been over a year since the tragic death of pop icon Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, the investigation into what caused it was given yet another lifeline just last week when her husband, Nick Gordon, was found “legally responsible” for her untimely passing.

Gordon, who has long proclaimed his innocence, was hit with a $50 million “wrongful death lawsuit” last year from her conservators and was ruled “legally responsible” by the judge after he missed another court appearance.

Now, as the hoop-la around the judgment continues, Bobbi K’s father – singer Bobby Brown – took to Bishop T.D. Jakes’ talk show to discuss his feelings on the rulings.  In the sit-down interview, the ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ crooner’s quoted:

“I don’t know the specifics of what happened, but as the judge has said, he is legally responsible. I know some things that happened to my daughter, but it’s up to the D.A. now to do his job.”

Find out what else he said after the jump:
