While out promoting her own bank of hits on the critically acclaimed ‘State of the World’ tour, Janet Jackson is still seeing her influence impact attendees of other highly anticipated treks – namely those copping a gander at Katy Perry‘s ‘Witness’ World tour.

The outing, designed to support Perry’s 2017 chart-topping album of the same name, kicked off in Canada last night at Montreal’s famed Bell Centre.  There, armed with a bevy of her own hits, the songstress also opted to try her hand at Jackson’s 1986 breakout hit, ‘What Have You Done for Me Lately.’

Seasoning her own 2017 hit, ‘Bon Appetit’ (featuring Migos), with a hint of Jackson’s classic, tuck inside to see if Perry enlisted a can of WD-40 to assist with some of the pop, lock, and drop it action she served up:

Sam Smith says hello to yet another hit thanks to his latest release, ‘Too Good at Goodbyes.’

As we reported here last week, the tune – the first from his yet-titled, highly anticipated sophomore album (due fall 2017) – made its presence felt on digital charts just hours after its release when it dethroned Taylor Swift‘s monster chart-topper, ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ on real-time iTunes charts.  Now, after its first full tracking week (which includes radio airplay, digital downloads, and streaming figures), ‘Goodbyes’ debut on the Hot 100 comes as a career high for the British crooner.

Even the most successful careers are plagued by challenges.

This is a reality that Pop empress Madonna is well-acquainted with.

One of her more public setbacks came with the release of her most recent album, 2015’s ‘Rebel Heart.’

The ‘Living For Love’ led set was rocked by a series of catastrophic leaks prior to its arrival – with both demos and full songs hitting the net.

It defied the odds to open at #1  on the pure sales tally in the US, but was the first casualty of the chart’s embrace of streaming and had to settle for a #2 on the final Billboard count after being bested by the SPS figure of the ‘Empire’ soundtrack. To date, it’s only sold 240,000 copies — in total.

Internationally, the project fared even worse.

Now, the 59-year-old is opening about why…

After years of searching for a sound, Demi Lovato appears to have syrupy brand of soulful Pop showcased on new single ‘Sorry Not Sorry.’

Having peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot thus far, the track looks poised for more success following her super-charged performance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’

Though backed by 8 BV’s, four dancers, and a full band, Lovato’s oft-underrated voice took centre-stage and blew the roof off the building.
