It’s been quite the journey for Ariana Grande in the run-up to the release of new album ‘Dangerous Woman.’

Armed with the success of 2014’s ‘My Everything’ and its various singles, the pint-sized powerhouse was poised to hit new career highs with her third project. Especially after picking up mega-manager Scooter Braun and featuring prominently on blockbuster collaboration ‘Bang Bang.’

It’s no surprise then that many scratched their heads when ‘Focus,’ the lead single from the then-titled ‘Moonlight’ LP, struggled upon release.

Fast forward to now and much has changed – most notably the project’s name, “lead” single, and Grande’s management (again).

How, then, has this affected the starlet’s selling potential? Find out what ‘Dangerous Woman’ is set to sell in its opening week below…

Whitney Houston‘s hologram made headlines this week when a planned duet with Christina Aguilera was cancelled at the 99th hour.

Initially billed as a surprise showing on next week’s finale of The Voice, the pre-recorded segment “leaked” online shortly before news of its TV axing was made public.

The Whitney Houston Estate praised both Aguilera and the show, but rested their decision to pull the performance on the fact that the technology in-place did not do the late singer justice. [Editor’s note: it looked great conceptually, but it was painfully clear that a body double was used]

Now, Aguilera is speaking up and out on the would-be collaboration…
