It's a good day to be Ariana Grande. The singer is likely somewhere out there celebrating the #1 bow of Yours Truly
, her debut album, which will land atop the Billboard 200 album tally thanks to sales of 138,000, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

That's impressive for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that Grande, 20, fended off competition from at least three other veteran acts who also made it into the top 10.

Just behind Grande is Tamar Braxton, the reality TV star and younger sister of Toni Braxton, whose Love and War, her first album in 13 years, hit #2 on sales of 114,000.

Hesitation, Love and Appreciation

The shake-up on the charts brought plenty of fresh blood in, including the return of iconic industrial rockers Nine Inch Hails, whose Hesitation Marks hit #3 (107,000) and John Legend, just behind at #4 with Love in the Future (68,000). Soul singer Jaheim got in on the action as well, sliding in at #6 with Appreciation Day (58,000).

All those new faces sent some other former chart toppers on the way down, including Robin Thicke, whose Blurred Lines slipped two spots to #7 (57,000), last week's #1, Avenged Sevenfold, down seven spots to #8 with Hail to the King (down 74 percent, 42,0000) and Justin Timberlake, who fell three to #9 with The 20/20 Experience (38,000).

Thunderous "Roar"

Katy Perry's 
 continues to reverberate on the Digital Songs chart, notching its fourth week at #1 thanks to sales of another 373,000. The big surprise, though, ...

Whether good or bad, people can't stop talking about Miley Cyrus. And judging by the 42 million views on her "Wrecking Ball" video, people can't stop watching her as well.

In the scandalous Terry Richardson-directed video released earlier this week, Cyrus rides a wrecking ball naked, licking tools and rolling in her underwear, which, not surprisingly, captivated audiences. However, there is much more to this video than just the obvious, which is something Cyrus, who called in to New York's Z100 radio station on Wednesday (September 11), wants her fans to understand.

"I think the video is much more, if people get past the point that I'm naked and you actually look at me you can tell that I actually look more broken then even the song sounds," Cyrus said. "The song is a pop ballad. It's one of these songs that everyone is going to relate to, everyone has felt that feeling at one point."

Cyrus admited that because the filming of this video was so emotional and raw — with her singing straight to camera as a single tear runs down her cheek — that it proved to be a challenge.

"If people can take their minds out of the obvious and go into their imagination a little bit and see kind of what the video really means and the way it's so vulnerable and actually if you look in my eyes I look more sad then my voice sounds on the record it was a lot harder to do the video then it was to ...

Kendrick Lamar challenged his peers to step up their game on his "Control" verse, and Meek Mill accepted, snapping back with his response on But apparently that was only the beginning.

On Tuesday night, K. Dot had something to say about Meek's track during a show in Brooklyn. And the MMG rapper got wind of it pretty quickly.

On "Ooh Kill Em," Meek challenged Kendrick's claim of being the 'king of New York,' rapping, "Hov gave you 24, let you have that / Man, you claiming you the king of New York / What the f--- wrong with you n---a? snap back / Hundred shots, aimin' straight at your snap cap / Everybody want the crown till I snatch that."

Kendrick wasn't feeling that. "I been doing this sh-- for years, I mastered this sh--," Kendrick reportedly told a crowd at Williamsburg Park in Brooklyn. "I have no time for irrelevant n---as [or] new n---as."

And if there was any doubt that he was including Meek in those statements, he specifically referenced the Philly rapper's recent single "Levels." There's one n---a in particular that needs to realize that there's 'levels' to this sh--. I'm motherf---in' King Kendrick."

Naturally, news of Kendrick's shout-out reached Meek pretty quickly and he took to Twitter to respond. First, he posed his question to fans and then directed it right at the Compton rapper.

"King of what? Somebody tell me please," Meek tweeted.

When MTV News spoke to Meek on Monday, he revealed what sparked the Ooh Kill Em" track. "Kendrick made a statement ...

Which movies will be worth your money in the months to come? Which ones will be Oscar-worthy?

In the latest batch of reviews from Toronto International Film Festival, you can read what our friends over at Film.com are saying about serious Oscar hopefuls like "August: Osage County" and "Dallas Buyers Club" and also about the new Daniel Radcliffe rom-com, "The F Word."

What You Need To Know: "A family tragedy has brought the Westons together on the sleepy plains of Osage County, Oklahoma. Three daughters return home to tend to their cancerous mother, Violet Weston (Meryl Streep), an emotional and physical wreck, capable of kind words and then brutal diatribes at the flip of a switch. She's addicted to pain pills, and clearly has been for a significant amount of time, which riles her eldest daughter Barbara (Julia Roberts) to no end."

Should You See It?: "There are so many reveals, and loads of twists and turns, but they all end up feeling desperate. While it's a given that families around the world are complex, and capable of massively strange interactions, the only place you'll find a group of people and a set of conflicts like this is in an extremely overwritten movie." — Laremy Legel

What You Need To Know: "Once upon a time in Toronto, a young man named Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe) met cute with a moon-faced girl named Chantry (Zoe Kazan), which is apparently a name that a girl can have. He is recently heartbroken and spiraling into despair, while she is a rising animator (natch) with an enviable ...
