How It All Started: Dance Music’s Most Influential Labels Reflect On Their First-Ever Release
Dance music wasn’t always this popular. In fact, the sights and sounds we now associate with the genre were once considered taboo. They were the emblems of a counterculture forced to blossom not out in the open, but in the safe confines of arcane nightclubs and warehouse raves. So how did electronic music break through the glass ceiling? Before the songs of Above & Beyond, Roger Sanchez, Armin van Buuren, and other legendary producers rattled the world’s biggest festival stages, they were auditory ugly ducklings on a quest to reach their full potential. The music always had the potential to fly, but without the help of the gutsy independent record labels willing to back it, its wings would forever remain clipped. And after all these years, those indies have proven...
‘I’ll Be Missing You’ Tops Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer Chart
The single interpolates The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” — itself the top summer hit of 1983, when it dominated the Hot 100 for eight frames, and the No. 7 title on the Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer chart. Billboard‘s Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer chart is based on titles’ performance on the Hot 100 during the annual tracking period of Memorial Day through Labor Day. The chart utilizes an inverse point system for 1959 (the Hot 100’s first full summer, following its Aug. 4, 1958, inception) through 1991 (the final summer prior to the advent of MRC Data information), with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. From 1992 through 2020, the recap incorporates point totals accumulated f...
The Weeknd Celebrates ‘Blinding Lights’ Hot 100 Record & Promises ‘The F—ing Dawn Is Coming’
On Monday (Aug. 16), The Weeknd showed his gratitude for his latest musical feats and some exciting birthdays: His second mixtape Thursday celebrates its 10th anniversary on Wednesday, while his dog Caesar recently turned 4. “Forever grateful to be able to experiment with sounds, try new things with my voice and create music with the people I truly love and respect,” he captioned the post, which features a rather blinding shot of the singer, a man who appears to be The Weeknd obscuring his face behind balloons emblematic of his 2011 House of Balloons project, and a comic of The Weeknd slapping at his old red-suit-jacket-wearing self for singing the hook of “Blinding Lights” while screaming at him, “The Dawn Is Coming!!!!!” The 31-year-old star&...
Disney’s ‘Hercules’ is Having a Moment Thanks to Lizzo’s New Video
It’s a comparison Lizzo essentially signed off on, as the singer posted a fan-created version of “Rumors” on Twitter, set to that exact scene in the animated film. “Y’all really get me,” Lizzo wrote in a tweet, alongside a blushing emoji. Originally released in 1997, Hercules is getting a lot of renewed attention this week. In addition to (possibly) inspiring Lizzo’s new music video, the film got a shout-out from Aretha star, Jennifer Hudson, who revealed that she played Calliope, the head muse, on a Disney cruise ship back in the day. Asked if she would be interested in starring in a Hercules remake, Hudson replied with a simple, “I’m ready, just roll the camera” (A live-action remake of Hercules is reportedly in the wo...
J Balvin, Sech, Becky G & Rauw Alejandro Close Weekend 1 of Mexico’s Baja Beach Fest: Recap
The third day of Baja Beach Fest in Rosarito, Mexico, capped a weekend of hitmakers, including Anuel, Ozuna and Karol G. On Sunday, J Balvin closed out weekend one, following stellar performances from Sech, Becky G, Rauw Alejandro, Paloma Mami, Jhay Cortez, Justin Quiles and Sky Rompiendo among others. Here are the highlights: J Balvin: Balvin returned to the Rosarito festival for a second time, this time as the main headliner, and fans welcomed him with a huge, echoing roar the instant he set foot onstage and opened with — wait for it — “Mi Gente.” The Colombian icon, gleaming in bleached hair and tan-colored cargo attire, played a riveting hour of hits, including “X,” “Con Altura” and “Que Calor.” Maverick male backup dancers in quirky outfits backed him up, a standout moment...
From ‘WAP’ to ‘Montero’: Music’s New Sexual Revolution Is Here
By Myles Johnson For their debut performance of “WAP” on the Grammys stage earlier this year, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion swapped nasty verses and suggestive hip movements. Before a backdrop of a supersized bedroom, with pillows as large as cars and a comforter that could cover a small crowd, they exposed their tongues and zipped through explicit lyrics. There’s not much metaphor or innuendo in the song or performances: This is about sexuality and the power you hold once you are aware of and align with it. Though the song’s release and this subsequent performance were met with their share of controversy and pearl-clutching, “WAP” quickly permeated the greater cultural discourse. It ravished TikTok with dance homages and even earned a place in Saturday Night Live history during May...

James Gunn Originally Wanted Superman to be Villain in ‘The Suicide Squad’
Following the success of The Suicide Squad, James Gunn has revealed some new unrevealed details for his standalone sequel to 2016’s Suicide Squad. During his recent appearance on the podcast Script Apart, Gunn discussed the evolution of his script for The Suicide Squad. The director interestingly revealed, “There was a time when I thought The Suicide Squad should fight Superman,” adding why Starro the Conqueror was a better antagonist choice. “I thought that was a very interesting story. Then I came up with Starro. He’s a character I love from the comics. I think he’s a perfect comic book character because he’s absolutely ludicrous but also very scary in his own way. What he does is scary. He used to scare the crap out of me when I was a child, putting those facehuggers on Superman and Bat...
Marlon Wayans Thinks a ‘White Chicks’ Sequel Is “Necessary”
White Chicks fans might just be getting the long-awaited sequel they have hoped for. Marlon Wayans recently told Variety, “I think White Chicks 2 is necessary. I think we’ve tightened up so much that we need to loosen our ties a bit and laugh a little bit. I don’t think Hollywood understands what a juggernaut White Chicks 2 would be.” When asked if he had more ideas for the film, Wayans revealed that he and his brothers have a lot of story ideas for a sequel, sharing, “The world just keeps giving us more. White Chicks 2 is writing itself.” The cult classic, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, starred brothers Marlon and Shawn Wayans and was an instant box office hit in 2004. The film followed a set of FBI agents who go undercover as two ditzy white socialites to get to the bottom of a potenti...
