Buzz around Chris Brown‘s latest album, the June-released ‘Breezy,’ may have come and gone, but the singer’s dedicated fans (affectionately called #TeamBreezy) are still keeping other tunes from his jam-packed discography front-and-center on social media and music charts.

Three years after the ‘Indigo’ track ‘Under the Influence’ first landed on digital outlets, the Kiddominant-produced bop began dominating Tik Tok reels – a feat that helped it fly up global and domestic Apple Music sales charts and eventually reach the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100.

In a bid to push it even higher on the latter tally, Brown has unveiled a sneak peek at the song’s long-awaited forthcoming music video.

Look inside to see the trailer.

Giveon recently reached the sumit of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time by way of his appearance on Justin Bieber‘s smash ‘Peaches.’ However, it’s the 26-year-old’s own hit – ‘Heartbreak Anniversary’ – that has fueled his ascend.

The lyrically piercing anthem has magnetized the masses and become a bonafide R&B smash.

In a testament to its resonance with the masses, the RIAA have honored the song for crossing a major new milestone.

Yet again, Dua Lipa‘s ‘Levitating’ proves the age old adage ‘slow and steady wins the race.’

The song’s original incarnation (and later a Madonna & Missy Elliott-buoyed remix) may have not made much noise on the charts upon their respective summer 2020 introductions (as we reported here), but now – 9 months after it was officially serviced to radio as a single – ‘Levitating’ has lifted to a new Hot 100 peak.

Over four months after cracking the chart’s top 10 for the first time, ‘Levitating’ is found at #4 on the refreshed tally thanks to its version featuring DaBaby. A new peak, it now ranks as the second highest-charting Lipa song ever – following the #2 peak of fellow ‘Future Nostalgia’ number ‘Don’t Start Now.’  And while that high octane bop missed out on laying claim to Dua’s first chart championship, industry analysts are suggesting ‘Levitating’ may take the spot as it is in a tight three-way race with Silk Sonic‘s ‘Leave the Door Open’ and Justin Bieber‘s ‘Peaches’ for next week’s #1.

Until we find out who will win, look below to see who joins all three in the top 25 of this week’s TGJ Chart Check.

Lil Nas X is one of few artists who can boast seeing his first four singles certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) – especially ahead of delivering a debut studio album.

But, thanks to the ongoing success of his controversial new hit, ‘Montero’ (the title track from his summer 2021-due debut LP), the GRAMMY winner is well on his way to nabbing a fifth Platinum plaque and his second Hot 100 #1 single.
