The Kanye West/Rihanna collaboration "FourFiveSeconds" was already distinctive for returning Paul McCartney to the top ten after 29 years—and now it turns out that it got Wilson Phillips back into the top ten as well. Carnie Wilson has revealed that the trio were specifically approached by Kanye to sing on the song: "When I think of authenticity and I think of angelic," he said to the Beach Boys and Mamas & the Papas descendants, "I think of you." The group can be heard on the bridge and possibly on the chorus of the song, according to Billboard.
