The confident, percussion-heavy track pulled in nearly 70% of the vote, outpacing new music from Sabrina Carpenter ('Manchild'), Ed Sheeran ('Sapphire'), KATSEYE featuring Ice Spice ('Gnarly' remix), Addison Rae (Addison) and Lil Wayne (Tha Carter VI).
'Type Dangerous' marks Mimi's first proper single in years, and it arrives with all the signature flair Lambs have come to expect. 'Looking for the dangerous type,' Carey croons. 'I like them dangerous/ That's my type/ I said I love them dangerous.'
The five-time Grammy winner last released an album in 2018 with Caution, which reached at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. In the days leading up to the new single's release, Carey teased fans on social media with a glamorous clip of herself in a luxury car, soundtracked by a mystery song. The video also showed a license plate reading 'MC16' — a possible hint at her 16th studio album.
Since Caution, Carey has kept busy with annual 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' celebrations, as well as anniversary reissues of her most iconic work. Most recently, she marked the 20th anniversary of The Emancipation of Mimi with an expanded two-disc set featuring remixes, bonus tracks and a cappella versions.
Coming in second in the poll was Carpenter's 'Manchild,' which earned 19% of the vote. The track is her first new release since the deluxe edition of Short n' Sweet dropped in February.

Taylor Swift's ‘Reputation' Spikes Nearly 1,200% In Sales
Ever since Taylor Swift revealed plans to re-record and re-release her first six albums after the rights to those works were sold away from her, superfans have eagerly awaited Reputation (Taylor's Version). Now that the superstar has officially reacquired the rights to her own catalog, it seems there may no longer be a need for Swifties to boycott the original Reputation – and there will likely not be a Reputation (Taylor's Version). With Swift's blessing, the original version is experiencing a thrilling resurgence. The pop icon's electronically-leaning, controversial full-length rockets up the Billboard charts this week following her announcement. Consumption of the 2017 project increased across the board, but sales in particular were exceptionally strong. According to Billboard, Reputation sold 15,000 copies during the latest tracking period in America alone, and the global total must be notably larger. That sum marks a nearly 1,200% increase from the prior frame. Those 15,000 copies will be enough to catapult Reputation back onto the Top Album Sales chart when Billboard refreshes its rankings tomorrow (June 10). The company reports that the set will reappear at No. 4 after being completely absent just days earlier. Swift's effort will nearly match that position on the Billboard 200, where it is scheduled to jump from No. 78 to fifth place. Total consumption of Reputation surged by more than 221% as the full-length moved 42,000 equivalent album units between purchases and streaming activity. Sales have largely fueled Reputation's comeback, but the album also racked up nearly 35 million streams on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music during the same timeframe. That figure is up 125% from the previous week. While that kind of growth would represent a career-best for many other artists, it's actually the smallest percentage gain Reputation posts across the major tallies following her acquisition notice.

Judge Throws Out Justin Baldoni's Defamation Lawsuit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
The post Judge Throws Out Justin Baldoni's Defamation Lawsuit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds appeared first on Consequence. A vast majority of Justin Baldoni's $400 million civil lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds was thrown out by a judge on Monday. Per People, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Parties, against Lively and Reynolds, which alleged extortion and defamation related to allegations Lively has made about Baloni occurring on the set of the film It Ends With Us. Baldoni does have the option of amending the lawsuit for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract and re-filing by June 23rd. Additionally, Judge Liman dismissed Baldoni's separate defamation lawsuit against the New York Times over its reporting on Lively's allegations and her subsequent lawsuit against the actor/director 'The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her [California Civil Rights Department] complaint, which are privileged,' Judge Liman wrote in the opinion and order filing. 'The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign. But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.' Lively's federal lawsuit against Baldoni remains active and is expected to go to trial in 2026. Among several allegations, Lively has accused Baldoni — who directed and co-starred in It Ends With Us — of sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment, and orchestrating a PR campaign to damage her reputation.
