Much to the dismay of Little Monsters, ‘Perfect Illusion,’ the long-awaited comeback single from Mother Monster Lady Gaga, didn’t exactly scare the competition away upon its recent Billboard Hot 100 debut this week.

Released September 9th to mixed critical review, the dramatic tune has (as of time reporting) accumulated nearly 17 million views on Youtube – a sum that certainly helped its moderate premiere placement on the singles chart.  Add to that sales of 100,000 first-week downloads (week ending Sept. 15), 8.3 million first-week U.S. streams, and 22 million in airplay audience, the Hot 100’s top 10 may have eluded ‘Illusion’ its debut week, but – with the debut of its official accompanying music video tonight –  there may still be hope…

As social media savvy rappers go, few can rival The Game.

It’s little wonder then why his recent feud Meek Mill was just as resonating on wax as it was on Instagram.

The MCs spent most of last weekend trading jabs over snitching, Sean Kingston, and a whole horde of other “differences.”

With the drama reaching fever pitch after mutual threats of violence, Wendy Williams attempted to play  peacemaker on today’s episode of her hit talkshow.

On set to promote his new album ‘1992’ (due October 7th), Game sat down with the former shock-jock to explain his gripe with Nicki Minaj‘s. Williams advised him strongly to step back from the flames rather than fuel them.

The insightful chat also saw the West Coast advocate speak on his squashed beef with former G-Unit comrade 50 Cent and more.

The dynamic duo have re-teamed for the much talked about remake of Robin Williams’ classic ‘Jumanji.’ 

Set to hit theaters in 2017, while sharing the same name as the 1995 original, boasts its own original story.

While Johnson stars as Dr. Bravestone, the characters of the other names attached (such as Karen Gillian and Nick Jonas) have yet to be revealed.

Ariana Grande is on her promotional grind.

With current single ‘Side To Side’ slaying the charts, she’s not resting on her laurels – especially with a tour to plug.

The latest stop on her TV rounds was The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Backed by The Roots, the soaring songbird flew to the rafters with ‘Jason’s Song (Gave It Away)’.

The track – a bonus track from her third LP ‘Dangerous Woman’ – was penned by Broadway maestro and Grande’s friend Jason Robert Brown.

Usher‘s new album is receiving love from reviewers, but is proving ‘Hard II Love’ for consumers.

In a bid to turn the tide, the singer stopped by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 today to chat about a whole host of topics.

Usher unleashed his eighth studio album ‘Hard II Love’ on the masses last week. And though the final tally has yet to be counted, the official sales forecast sent the net into a flutter.

For, the set – led by singles ‘Crash’ and ‘No Limit’ – is on course to debut with 25,000; the lowest US numbers of the crooner’s career.

Given the unforgiving nature of today’s age and the fickleness of select fans, some have deemed it “the end” for the 8-time Grammy winner.

We’re not so sure about that, but can’t distract from the fact that something is…off.
