To say Ice Spice‘s latest single, ‘Deli,’ took a big bite out of this week’s Billboard Hot 100 would be an understatement.

Found aboard the recently released deluxe edition of her debut EP, ‘Like..?,’ ‘Deli’ was first introduced to the masses via an electric performance at the 2023 BET Awards before being given the video treatment a month later alongside its official release.

The boost given from the exposure of its George Buford and Frederick Buford-directed clip (alongside the buzz around its parent project) not only pushed ‘Deli’ to an impressive opening on the refreshed Hot 100 but also to great personal milestone status in Spice’s discography.

Just weeks after unleashing a 25th anniversary edition of her debut single, ‘It’s All About Me,’ R&B singer Mya lifts yet another toast to her own illustrious career with the release of a revamped edition of her third studio album, ‘Moodring.’

Famous for its singles ‘My Love Is Like…Wo’ and ‘Fallen,’ the now Gold-certified ‘Moodring’ entered the Billboard 200 at #3 at the height of its popularity in 2003 (and remains her highest-charting effort on the tally to date).

For its deluxe iteration, the GRAMMY winner packed on 9 additional tracks to the 16-track effort, including international bonus cuts and multiple remixes of the era’s singles.

“As we mark the 20th anniversary of Moodring, I can’t help but look back with pride. This album was a turning point, marking my first venture as an executive producer and setting me on a path towards greater autonomy in my career,” said the 42-year-old in an official statement. “Moodring is more than just music; it’s a testament to my growth as an artist and holds a special place in my heart.”
