Bibliography header inconsistency with my page style using a memoir class

Question

I want to have Bibliography as a header title in my bibliography (starting obviously from the second page). But, the title of the previous chapters appears instead!

I am using Memoir class with biblatex. with my pagestyle named as: MyPageStyle

Here is my MWE

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{memoir}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\makepagestyle{MyPageStyle}
\copypagestyle{MyPageStyle}{ruled}
\makeoddhead{MyPageStyle}{\textsl\leftmark}{}{}
\pagestyle{MyPageStyle}
\usepackage[natbib=true, backend=biber, url=false, isbn=false, sorting=none]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\mainmatter
\chapter{Introduction}
\Blindtext
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

here is a snapshot of my problem

Any idea on how to solve that?

There is this solution but I don't know how to make it work with my specific problem!

Edit 1:

I have tried to change \leftmark with \rightmark as suggested by @daleif. It solved the Bibliography headers, but the other chapters (numbered, unnumbered, appendix) remain un-headed! (see my updated MWE below).

\documentclass[oneside,12pt]{memoir}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\makepagestyle{MyPageStyle}
\copypagestyle{MyPageStyle}{ruled}
\makeoddhead{MyPageStyle}{\textsl\rightmark}{}{}
\pagestyle{MyPageStyle}
\usepackage[natbib=true, backend=biber, url=false, isbn=false, sorting=none]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\mainmatter
\chapter[Ch. w/ N.]{Numbered Chapter}
\Blindtext
\chapter*[Ch. w/o  N.]{Unnumbered Chapter}
\Blindtext
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\appendix
\chapter[Specs.]{Specification}
\Blindtext
\end{document}

How to solve these inconsistencies?

Under oneside you should use \rightmark instead. For example the standard memoir headings style only writes to \rightmark under oneside. Looking at biblatex.def this is exactly what biblatex does under oneside — daleif, Jun 16 '21 at 11:12

Under oneside you should use \rightmark as this is what most header data providers only write to under oneside.

For the added question:

Not many of the page styles have a oneside and a twoside variant. The default headings does. The style ruled does not. Meaning that \chapter will only write to \leftmark. IMO the default for \chapter should be to write to both (which I normally do in all of my own documents). It is too late to change this now.

Here is how to add bothness:

\addtopsmarks{MyPageStyle}{}{
  \createmark{chapter}{both}{shownumber}{}{. \space}
}

add it somewhere after \copypagestyle{MyPageStyle}{ruled} and before \pagestyle{MyPageStyle}

The psmarks control what and to where macros like \chapter, TOC etc write their stuff

Sorry for my late reply. Could you see my updated question? Your answer of replacing leftmark by rightmark works, but just for the bibliography. The other chapters become unheaded – Talha Jun 17 '21 at 19:09

@Talha see the update. Note that technically you probably ought to have made a separate question about this. – daleif Jun 18 '21 at 08:18
Yeah. Propbaly. Thank youso much. It worked. – Talha Jun 19 '21 at 08:14
