She’s the fiery chanteuse famed for her heartfelt brand of soulful R&B. He’s the Pop prince who rose to fame in 2009 with the Platinum bop that is ‘My Time.’

Together, they make for the unusual but welcome pair that is Justin Bieber and Keyshia Cole! Sharing a collaborator in ‘I Would‘ singer/songwriter Elijah Blake, this morning saw Cole unwrap quite the surprise when she revealed the pair had hit the studio together to spin Bieber’s latest LP and to complete work on her own project.

If you’re Iggy Azalea you are probably losing count of the ways you’ve been winning since the turn of the year.

As if already holding the record as the first female artist in history to see her first two charting singles hold the #1 and #2 spot wasn’t enough, now the Aussie rapstress can rejoice at news that her megahit single ‘Fancy’ is on track to become the longest running #1 single by a female artist this decade. Joining the ranks of Rihanna, Adele, and more, the rate at which the Charli XCX-assisted hit is selling could see it dethrone the ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker as the decade’s Hot 100 leading lady.

Via Billboard:

10 weeks, “We Found Love,” Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris, 2011-12
9 weeks, “Royals,” Lorde, 2013
9 weeks, “Call Me Maybe,” Carly Rae Jepsen, 2012
9 weeks, “TiK ToK,” Ke$ha, 2010
7 weeks, “Fancy,” Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX, 2014
7 weeks, “Rolling in the Deep,” Adele, 2011

But, as Iggy cruises toward even more singles’ chart success, plenty competition lays in wait to dethrone her.  See this week’s top 10 below:

Mindless Behavior indeed.

Months after announcing a major change to their line-up, R&B boy band Mindless Behavior find themselves in troubled waters today, following their release of unsettling video footage.

‘Clueless’ actress Stacey Dash may have liked Kanye West enough to star in his ‘All Falls Down’ visual back in 2004, but a decade later it would seem things have changed…a great deal.

The problem? West’s most recent rant which saw him liken being hounded by the paparazzi to being raped.

Days later, after catching wind of his comments, Dash used the platform she enjoys on ‘Fox News’ to slam the rapper’s insensitive remarks, suggesting that he take a trip to prison so “he’ll know what rape is.”

Her new album may be a ‘4 Letter Word‘, but Elle Varner has only one thing on her mind right now…and that’s her man.

Indeed, on the album’s lead single ‘Don’t Wanna Dance’, the ‘I Don’t Care‘ singer cares little for the typical night out with her girls and longs to be with her loved one instead, pouring out her feelings with a little help from A$AP Ferg.

In the mood for new Elle?

It’s safe to say 2014’s been quite the year for Hip Hop singer Future!

From welcoming the arrival of his latest child to planning his first wedding with R&B chanteuse Ciara, to say the star has been busy would be an understatement.

On a singles tip, very few have enjoyed a run half as impressive as Jason Derulo‘s.

However, the fact remains that when it comes to albums, the entertainer is one of the lowest selling acts of all time, with his sales still yet to cross the 1 million unit mark in the US even when sales from all three of his LPs are combined.

Could this be the reason ‘BET’ is yet to embrace the well behaved star?

That may be the question many of his fans ask themselves today, after he openly addressed the network’s interesting decision not to celebrate his ‘Hot 100‘ successes by inviting him to perform at this year’s ceremony…while showing love to some of his more controversial rivals.

Why he is “almost done” with the network?
