  • 'Empire' Edges Madonna for Billboard 200 Top Spot, but Did New Metrics Steal a Landmark Accomplishment from Pop Star?

    This week's Billboard 200 was topped by the Empire Soundtrack: Season 1, but it touches off an interesting battle between it and Madonna's Rebel Heart, which finished no. 2. The current Billboard metrics place Empire at no. 1 with 130,000 "equivalent" albums sold—a count that includes total single downloads and album streams as well. Madge's album only sold 121,000 "equivalent" albums but unofficial tracking of pure album sales—or what the Billboard 200 used to be based on—suggest that Rebel Heart actually sold more albums than Empire did as a whole.

    If you tuned in to last night's March 17 episode of RHOBH, then you had a front-row seat for just how deeply broken the relationship between Kim and Kyle Richards really is. The rift between the sisters is about a lot more than a slip from sobriety or who is friends with who -- it goes back years. This season, many of the other ladies have found themselves tangled in the mess. Lisa Rinna was the first one to say that Kim had fallen off the wagon, and by the time all was said and done her concern was twisted into a bad thing. When Kim tried to get even by falsely insinuating that Rinna's marriage was a sham, she snapped and Kim ended up wearing her glass of wine. Rinna thinks it is time to "move on" from all the drama.

  • Young Thug To Name Next Project 'Carter 6,' Lil Wayne's Daughter Calls Him Out

Now it's looking as if Carter 6 might drop before Wayne's fifth installment as he continues to battle Young Money to have his effort released.
