    Roddy Ricch's 'Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial' Back Atop Billboard 200 Again

    Next week, it has been predicted that Justin Bieber is going to dethrone the rising rapper’s spot on the weekly chart with his long-awaited new album ‘Changes’.
    Feb 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Roddy Ricch doesn’t give his No. 1 spot on Billboard 200 to Lil Wayne for too long. The rapper’s debut album “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” is once again ruling the weekly chart with 79,000 equivalent album units in the week ending February 12, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. This marks the album’s fourth nonconsecutive week atop the chart.
    Following behind the rising star’s record is Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” that climbs to No. 2 after racking up 52,000 units. Eminem’s “Music to Be Murdered By”, on the other hand, holds its third place position with 51,000 units. The No. 4 spot is occupied by newcomer, Green Day’s “Father of All…” Enhanced by merchandise/album bundles sales, the new album sold 48,000 units in its first week and became the band’s 11th top ten album.
    Billie Eilish’s “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” ascends to No. 5 with 45,000 units, as Weezy’s “Funeral” moves down five spots to No. 6 with 44,000 units in its second week. Meanwhile, Pop Smoke marks his first top ten album with “Meet the Woo, V.2” that debuts at No. 7 with 36,000 units.
    Halsey’s “Manic” is a non-mover at No. 8 with 34,000 units, as DaBaby’s “Kirk” returns to the top ten at No. 9 with 32,000 units. Rounding out the top ten for this week is another former chart-topper, Taylor Swift’s “Lover” that sold 31,000 units.
    Next week, it has been predicted that Justin Bieber will rule the Billboard 200 with his latest album “Changes”. After only two full days of activity, prognosticators suggest the effort could earn around 250,000 equivalent album units in the week ending February 20. Should the prediction be true, this will mark Justin’s seventh leader on Billboard 200.
    “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” – Roddy Ricch (79,000 units)
    “Hollywood’s Bleeding” – Post Malone (52,000 units)
    “Music to Be Murdered By” – Eminem (51,000 units)
    “Father of All…” – Green Day (48,000 units)
    “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go” – Billie Eilish (45,000 units)

    Chaka Khan Heavily Mocked Over National Anthem Performance at NBA All-Star Game

    Not a few compare the ‘Masked Singer’ former contestant’s performance at the annual event to Fergie’s infamous rendition of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at the same event.
    Feb 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Being tapped as the National Anthem performer at a sports event is not an easy task, given the attention a singer gets from people all around the nation. If one fails to deliver a satisfying performance, they’ll most likely become the butt of the Internet joke, and that is what happening to Chaka Khan right now after her “The Star-Spangled Banner” rendition.
    Singing the National Anthem at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game in Chicago on Sunday, February 16, the songstress did her very best to wow both the audience and viewers at home. She even showed off her high notes throughout the performance, but people weren’t feeling her set at all and started to roast her on social media.

    “Man who the hell let Chaka Khan sing this National Anthem lmao,” one person wrote. “Me listening to Chaka Khan sing that anthem,” another posted, along with a viral meme of Billie Eilish at the 2020 Academy Awards. Someone else joked, “Man somebody said Chaka Khan sounded like uncle Bobby from the proud family…I hate it here.”
    Not a few brought up Fergie’s (Stacy Ferguson) infamous National Anthem performance at the same event and compared who performed worst. “Chaka Khan really tried to outdo Fergi for the worst all star game performance,” an individual said of “The Masked Singer” former contestant, as another echoed, “Everyone who thought Fergie couldn’t be outdone hearing Chaka Khan just sing the national anthem.”
    Chaka Khan has yet to respond to the criticism.
    Prior to the National Anthem performance, Jennifer Hudson blessed people’s ears with her emotional Kobe Bryant tribute performance. Looking gorgeous in a long-sleeved purple dress, the “American Idol” alum delivered an impeccable a capella version of “For All We Know” as images of the late NBA star and his late daughter Gianna played on a screen behind her.

    Unlike Chaka, J. Hud was showered with praises following her set.

    Justin Bieber Dedicates Whole Album to Hailey Baldwin

    WENN

    The ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker talks about how his new life as a married man inspired his craft as he celebrates the release of his fifth studio album titled ‘Changes’.
    Feb 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Justin Bieber has dedicated his new album “Changes” to his wife Hailey Baldwin.
    The couple first dated in 2015, and was linked again in May 2018. After the “Yummy” hitmaker proposed in July 2018 Justin and Hailey exchanged vows just two months later.
    The “Yummy” hitmaker has been through a number of challenges over the past couple of years, including battling mental health struggles and Lyme disease, and after crediting Hailey for pulling him through, he’s now dedicated his new release to his love.
    “One of my favourite songs on the album is called ‘Forever’,” he told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “I don’t know if you’re married or have a special person, but the thought of being with my wife for ever just gives me chills.”
    He added, “We talked this morning. She’s in L.A. right now and I miss her so much already, but my whole album is dedicated to her and my love for her. I really hope that translates.”
    And Justin admitted it’s not just love songs he writes about his wife – he also uses his music as a release for his anger.
    As he sings on one of his new tracks, his frantic love life has even proved a useful outlet for his anger and frustrations.
    “At times we all get frustrated and upset. My song ‘Take It Out on Me’ on the new album is all about that,” he said. “I’m letting my wife know that whatever is happening, however she feels, she can take it out on me – you know, in the sack, if you know what I mean.”
    “Changes” is out now.
