We definitely weren't expecting the triumphant return on Janet Jackson to the music world this week, but it was definitely one of the top highlights of last week. The iconic singer debuted her latest track, "No Sleeep" this week, and yes, that is an extra "e." Listen to this great song right here:

A week in music can't go by without a number of covers, too! Never a band to take music too seriously, They Might be Giants reimagined Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills" for the A.V. Club's Undercover series and it was incredible. Listen to this cover right here!
