Lil Wayne Helps Universal Lock Down Top Four Spots on R&B/Hip-Hop Chart
Universal Republic becomes the first record company to lock down the top four spots on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart in nearly six years. As it did a week ago, Universal Republic holds down positions 1 to 3, respectively, with “I’m On One” by DJ Khaled featuring Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne (on We the Best/Young Money/Cash Money), “How to Love” by Lil Wayne (Cash Money) and “Motivation” by Kelly Rowland featuring Lil Wayne (Universal Motown). Jumping up 5-4 is Nicki Minaj with “Super Bass” (Young Money/Cash Money) — which doesn’t feature Wayne, but he’s Minaj’s mentor, frequent collaborator and, since Young Money is his label, basically her boss.

The Jonas Brothers Will Reunite ‘Eventually’
The Jonas Brothers may not be making music together right now, but fans can expect more from the trio in the future. “Definitely, me and my bros, we are gonna make another project eventually,” Joe Jonas said. “Right now, we’re just focused on the side projects and the individual stuff we’re doing.” Joe has a solo album coming out this fall and younger brother Nick has already released his own album, and is now writing and producing for other artists. The 21-year-old middle JoBro gave a vague timeframe for the new project, saying, “In the next few years or a year or so, we’re gonna make more music together.” (MTV)
![“Wayne’s reason for choosing each and every one of us, [in] Young Money, is that we are talented in our own way and we do know how to create our own music and create our own world,” she says. “It’s the only place that I’ve seen where you can actually do that. I think what I am for Young Money is that tool to sort of go outside of the norm. That’s my challenge and my responsibility is to be able to go outside of what Young Money is comfortable with, bring in a new audience and bring in new people to work with.”
