From its dramatic key changes to its horn-filled instrumentation, Beyoncé‘s ‘4’ hit ‘Love On Top’ has frequently found itself atop the favorite song list of her beloved fans (affectionately called the #Beyhive) since its 2011 arrival.

That praise and adoration continues over a decade later, as evidenced by a Valentine’s Day-inspired Billboard article that ranked the top 50 love songs of the 21st century.

And while her signature, JAY Z-assisted hit ‘Crazy In Love’ (2003) was listed among the picks, it was ‘Top’ that ultimately took the top spot.

‘Heartless’ hitmaker Kanye West is proving he doesn’t live up to his 2008 hit.

The GRAMMY winner, who has made headlines over the last few days for a string of harassing texts to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new beau Pete Davidson, particularly stunned his followers on Valentine’s Day (February 14) when he hurled insults at Pete and suggested physical harm was headed the comic’s way.

His retraction of that statement came after a whirlwind of negative press, with many slamming the 44-year-old music mogul for his threatening action.

Heeding the advisement of insiders on his team, West took to Instagram Tuesday (February 15) to reveal he is ‘learning’ better ways to communicate.

Camila Cabello continues to tease new music.

Case in point, the former Fifth Harmony member has once more taken to social media to tease new music.

The new song is more pop-influenced than the Latin roots of her most recent tunes and teases. Across the song, she can be heard singing:

House in the hill was a house of cards / blink and the fairytale falls apart / sorry didn’t mean to get so dark.”

While it is unconfirmed, the song appears as though it is about her breakup with fellow singer Shawn Mendes, from whom she split with last year. It is also unclear of it will be on her upcoming ‘Familia’ album, which already contains the previously released ‘Don’t Go Yet.’

Check out the new tune below…

The powers of Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar combined to deliver one of the Super Bowl’s most talked about halftime shows ever Sunday (February 13).
