Divas Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato top Social 50 chart

The three pop divas Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato have taken a leap to the top of the Social 50 chart this week.

The American singer/songwriter/actress Mariah Carey got nearly 10 million Facebook Likes, following the success of her latest single Almost Home from the recently released film ‘Oz The Great and Powerful’. The track highlights Carey’s ‘amazing range and powerful voice.’ In Carey’s words, ‘Almost Home has a message that works beautifully with the film. It’s a feel-good record; it gives you the feeling of reaching your home and being with people that you love.’ She has risen from the 46th to 31st rank on the chart recently.

Last year, she had been ranked second on VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music.
Meanwhile, the Trinidadian-born American rapper/ singer/songwriter/television personality Nicky Minaj moved up from the 16th to 6th rank in the charts with the increasing popularity of her number Freak performed with co-artiste French Montana. Minaj and French Montana have given the video a touch of Dancehall, Jamaican genre of popular music and hip-hop, adding a Caribbean flavor to it. The video became viral on the internet soon after its release on March 7. About the video, French Montana said, ‘I just feel like that was the perfect song for her. We could’ve did a strip club song. We just wanted to do something that was big. We both from New York, so I feel like this made sense.’

American singer-songwriter/musician/actress Demi Lovato’s video for her latest single Heart Attack that was released on March 1 raised her ranking in the charts from the 20th to the 12th rank. Speaking about her new album, the X Factor USA judge said, ‘For a while, I could tell that when people would talk to me they knew my story. I think I’ve opened up more on this album. My life began to evolve and I started to grow. These are songs about the celebration of life and how rewarding it can be. This is what this album is about.’

Hug and Kiss ‘em & Hold ‘em close to you!

From the moment I conceived, it was my fantasy to have a super tactile bond with my child after he/she would be born (for the longest possible time, I felt it would be a girl!). After my son was born, things became different and the first three months were extremely painful feeding him or holding him thanks to my C-section stitches. So all maternal feelings vanished into thin air and all I could think was sleep or having “me-time”.  There was hardly a chance to cuddle up with him! Post partum depression had hit me big time and me not being able to calm down a screaming infant had dipped my morale too. Motherhood was nothing like I had imagined it would be! Besides I was terrified that my son would not accept me if I didn’t develop a bond early on. Of course, that did not happen. It was a mom’s fear that had spoken. After he entered the infamous toddler phase, I became the quintessential “villain” for my son – the usual don’t do this and that. Yet again, my dreams of becoming...

Lockdown diaries: Kuchh Aur Naye Band kisse

Chaaron taraf band khidkiyaan, sunsaan raaste, Hawayein chal rahi thi, patte bhi gire pedon se, Maidaano mein char rahe kuch jaanwar, Chidiyan chehek rahe the. Jo awaazein kabhi motor ki shor mein ghul gaye the, aaj sabhi zinda huye. Band gharon mein jaan aayi, Bachchon ki shorgul, cooker ki seetiyan, Kahin thahakon ki awaaz goonji. Chai ke pyaale, puraane gupshup aur naashte ki mehek har jagah chhayi. Khidkiyon se jhaankte huye kuchh chehre,  Ankhon mein aas lagaye baithe,  Kab ye virus chala jaaye, kab hum azaad panchhi ho Bebasi ki leher mein ummeed bhi thi shaamil. Bachhon ki khushiyan jaise garmi ki chuttiyan aa gayi, Ghar mein khel kood, FM par gaane, TV par Mahabharat aur Ramayan ka laut aana, Wahi chutkule, wahi kehkahe, wahi masti ki leher  Wah! Bachpan ke din laut aaye! Par iss baar chuttiyan lambi lagti hain, Mann mein khushi bhi, asmanjas bhi, Ghar mein surakshit raho, virus se bachke raho: yahi naara hai desh ka! Khushiyan fir se laut aayengi, ummeed hai y...
