Rihanna‘s 2016 album, ‘Anti,’ may have started its narrative as a critical polarizer but it went on to become one of the most celebrated studio efforts of the decade.

Still listed on the Billboard 200 weekly (#81 on the chart’s most recent edition), the ‘Work‘-led project is printed in history books for being the first LP by a Black female artist to enjoy a tenancy on the tally longer than 350 weeks.

Nearly six months after touching that unprecedented milestone, ‘Anti’ is still finding new commercial success posts to cross.

Kylie Minogue‘s ‘Padam Padam’ has had heads bobbing and bodies rocking since storming onto airwaves on May 18.

Yet, for all the fanfare and glorious memes it’s inspired since arriving, a chief complaint of the Lostboy-produced bop is its brevity – a status that forced a number of supporters to take to the net with their own unofficial extended mixes.

Answering the call from her beloved fans (affectionately called #Lovers) to increase the tune’s thumping runtime in an official capacity, Minogue recently unveiled a 4-minute version of the ‘Tension‘ track (an extension of the original that clocked in right under 3 minutes).

The latest step toward catapulting ‘Padam’ to even higher heights on UK and US charts, hop inside to hear the cut’s expanded edition.

Babyface has broken his silence after being shockingly dropped from Anita Baker’s current US tour.

As reported, the legendary music maestro was axed from the Queen of Quiet Storm’s latest trek following an arguably one-way feud.

In a series of tweets shared over several days, Baker took aim at Babyface’s fans – who she asserts were “cyber bullying” her and erroneously blaming  her for the prolific hitmaker being omitted from a select date on the tour.

Despite Babyface maintaining a dignified silence, it didn’t stop Baker from directly blasting him too.

Reacting to all of the developments, the 64-year-old (born Kenny Edmonds) has issued a statement.
