Cardi B Ties Kendrick Lamar With A New No. 1 Smash
For the past eight years, Cardi B has ranked as not just one of the most successful women in hip-hop, but a reliable hitmaker. As she prepares to finally deliver her long-awaited sophomore album Am I the Drama? next month, one of the singles from the project shoots to No. 1 on multiple Billboard rankings, and it helps her match the man who may be the hottest name in rap music right now. Cardi B Earns Her Eighth No. 1 Hit 'Outside' lifts one space from the runner-up spot to No. 1 on the Rap Airplay chart. The track becomes Cardi's eighth leader, which is one of the most impressive accumulations of champions of all time on Billboard's ranking of the most successful songs at rap radio stations across the United States. Cardi B Ties Kendrick Lamar Billboard notes that as 'Outside' reaches the first place on the Rap Airplay chart seven weeks into its tenure, Cardi ties Kendrick Lamar for the sixth-most leaders of all time. Last week, when 'Outside' was stuck at No. 2 — coincidentally behind one of Lamar's most famous tracks, 'Luther' with SZA — Cardi was on the same level as both 50 Cent and T.I. Those solo male hip-hop powerhouses have racked up seven No. 1s on the Rap Airplay list thus far, and now they've fallen slightly on the all-time roster. Drake Leads, Followed by Lil Wayne Drake is in a distant first place among all acts, as he's accumulated 43 No. 1s on the Rap Airplay chart. Lil Wayne and Ye (formerly Kanye West) are the only other two stars that have snagged double-digit placements at No. 1, as Wayne has earned 13 while the man who used to simply be known as Kanye is steady with 10. Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj are tied for the fourth-most winners with nine – just one ahead of Cardi and Kendrick. 'Outside' Rises to No. 1 on Multiple Rankings 'Outside' has proved to be a big win on American radio. This frame, the single ascends to No. 1 on not only the Rap Airplay chart, but also the Rhythmic Airplay list, where Cardi scores a ninth champion. The Am I the Drama? single also approaches No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay tally, where it's just one rung away from ruling, and it hits a new high point on the Radio Songs chart, inching north from No. 30 to No. 28.

The Weeknd's Biggest Albums Join His Debut Project In Climbing The Charts
The Weeknd is one of a handful of musical acts so popular that they regularly occupy multiple spaces on the Billboard 200. That tally ranks the most consumed albums in America, and it's the most competitive and busiest of all lists dedicated to full-lengths, but that doesn't faze the Canadian hitmaker. This current frame is an exciting one for the Grammy-winning superstar. As multiple collections climb, one of his earliest career-making sets manages a comeback. The Weeknd Claims Five Billboard 200 Wins The Weeknd fills five spaces on the Billboard 200, making him one of the most successful names on the tally at the moment. Four of those projects climb from where they sat last time around. Hurry Up Tomorrow, his 2025 effort, is his highest-rising, as it returns to the top 40, lifting from No. 44 to No. 40. Three other blockbusters — Starboy, After Hours, and The Beauty Behind the Madness — descend from where they sat just a few days ago and settle at Nos. 101, 109, and 126, respectively. House of Balloons Returns to the Chart The Weeknd adds to his list of current favorites, as House of Balloons finds its way back to the Billboard 200. The Weeknd's debut mixtape, which arrived in the spring of 2011, reenters the tally at No. 196. Despite the fact that House of Balloons was first unveiled more than a decade ago, it has only spent 24 weeks on the Billboard 200, and it's never entered the top 100. Hurry Up Tomorrow, Starboy and After Hours All five albums by The Weeknd appear on multiple Billboard charts, but their performances are mixed beyond the Billboard 200. Hurry Up Tomorrow, Starboy, After Hours, and The Beauty Behind the Madness decline on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums tally, while the latter of that bunch increases one spot on the Top R&B Albums. House of Balloons is steady at No. 24 on the Top R&B Albums chart, and though it's his lowest performer this time around, at least it doesn't step back. 'Baptized in Fear' Debuts on One Billboard List The Weeknd claims even more hit songs on the Billboard charts this week. Several recent tracks like 'Rather Lie' and 'Timeless' rise on multiple lists and fall on some, while 'Baptized in Fear' from Hurry Up Tomorrow debuts on the Adult R&B Airplay ranking, giving The Weeknd his lucky thirteenth career placement on the list. Several other tunes from past projects — like 'Save Your Tears' with Ariana Grande, 'One of the Girls' with Jennie and Lily-Rose Depp, 'Blinding Lights,' 'Die For You' (another collaboration with Grande), and 'Starboy' with Daft Punk — also live on Billboard's two global rosters.

Jessie J hospitalised six weeks after breast cancer surgery
Jessie J has revealed that she has been rushed to hospital with an infection and fluid on her lungs six weeks after undergoing breast cancer surgery. The hit maker, 37, who revealed her breast cancer diagnosis earlier on in the year before sharing how her cancer was 'all gone' following surgery, was admitted to hospital again this weekend. Six weeks post surgery, Jessie J has shared how she was taken to hospital and told she now has an infection and fluid in her lungs. Sharing a photo from her hospital bed, Jessie shared a snap of an IV cannula in her hand and explained how she had been admitted to hospital on Saturday morning. In the post, she revealed: 'How I spent the last 24 hours. '6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned.' She went on to reveal: 'I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD. 'They ran a lot tests, which ended up showing I have an infection (still trying to figure out what) and a little fluid on my lungs.' 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.' 'Far from easy' recovery In the next slide, Jessie added: 'I know many people who will have gone through this or similar may or may not agree with me on this or not, and that's ok. 'But I know for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically, was the day I went into surgery. 'The recovery, physically, is far from quick or easy, and mentally, it's been the most challenging time for me. 'Especially being a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am,' she candidly shared. Jessie then spoke about how she has been forced to 'change plans' for her career this year, which has been 'frustrating'. She then said how getting the all clear 'was and is incredible' but added, 'that result didn't speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically'. In a third and final slide shared on her Instagram page, Jessie J said: 'A reminder to myself to slow tf down even though I feel like I'm a (tortoise emoji) pace right now. 'This isn't a speedy recovery', she urged her fans, 'and it isn't meant to be.' She continued: 'As an ADHD Aries fire breathing dragon T-rex, I can do it myself, I'm always ok woman. 'That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept tbh. 'I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is.' Jessie then defiantly said how she is now 'finding strength' in knowing it can all be adjusted to 'align with a slower pace'. She concluded by saying: 'My body and immune system said: 'sit down, d*ckhead.' Jessie's breast cancer diagnosis At the start of June, the Price Tag songstress revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and would soon undergo surgery. The former Voice coach, who shares a son with basketball player Chanan Colman, opened up about the sad news on Instagram in video she uploaded. In the post she told fans: 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.' She added: 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'.' The singer then said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball. Then, while performing at the Summertime Ball in June, she spoke about wanting to beat breast cancer. 'Talking of no secrets, you'll know I've always been an open book,' she said while on stage. 'Today this show is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer. 'So it's so special to me.' Jessie then underwent surgery before revealing how she had gotten the all clear.
