‘Bad Habits’ Lead Ed Sheeran to No. 1 on Both Billboard Global Charts
Chart rankings are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations. Sheeran’s First Global 200 No. 1 After debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200, spending a second week at the rank and dropping to No. 3, Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” ascends to No. 1, granting him his first week atop the chart. The song reigns with 67.5 million streams (down 2%) and 40,700 sold worldwide (down 7%) in the July 16-22 tracking week. The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’...
R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Alina Baraz, Jordan Hollywood, Chiiild & More
Alex Banin, “Forget About It” London-born singer Alex Banin shares “Forget About It,” a groovy, reflective single featuring reverb-heavy electric guitar, a deep bassline and Banin’s thick, sleepy vocals. “I’m missing you so damn good,” the self-entitled “retired SoundCloud rapper” declares, as she sits among half a dozen bunny heads in a movie theatre. Jordan Hollywood feat. Timbaland, “The Ugly Song” From the song’s opening line (“If I skeet in a rich b–ch, that’s a come up”), Jordan Hollywood’s latest single raises eyebrows in the best way. The Quality Control signee took his turn spinning Bubba Sparxxx’s 2001 breakout record “Ugly,” fully equipped with an unbeatable co-sign ...
Alex Lifeson on Solo Music, Envy of None, ‘Really Cool’ Upcoming Rush Reissue
Alex Lifeson didn’t have some grand master plan for all of this: the glossy-looking website, the big rollout of new music, the subsequent parade of interviews. But the dominos just keep tumbling, and he’s going with the flow. With the launch of his new signature Epiphone electric guitar, the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard, he finds himself in a rare solo spotlight — probably the most attention he’s faced since Rush retired from touring in 2015. “I stayed away from social media forever,” he tells SPIN. “I really wanted to protect my privacy and wasn’t really interested in doing all the things that are required because I’m generally a lazy person. But now with the Epiphone account, with the demand of creating an Instagram and my own website, I’m going to try to utilize those things an...
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Bring Japanese Courtroom Drama to Gamers Around the World
In the unlikely crossroads of Japanese courtroom dramas and video games, the Ace Attorney series has carved out a niche for itself that no others have even approached. Over the last 20 years, the series’ combination of unique gameplay (players go out on “investigations” in search of clues before returning to the courtroom to “battle” the other lawyer), witty charm, and memorable characters have turned it from one of Capcom’s lesser-known series into a fan-favorite complete with spinoff novels and a TV series. Series protagonist Phoenix Wright was even introduced to a whole new audience in 2011 when he joined the roster for one of the biggest fighting games in history, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. But for those who only know the Ace Attorney games from Wright’s battles against the likes of...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West’s album listening concert for Donda at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta did not disappoint as fans vibed from beginning to end with the controversial MAGA rapper.

Finally word got out that Kanye was not only re-working some of the songs on the album, but that he even moved into the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to finish off his long awaited project. TMZ is reporting that after Kanye held the listening session at the MBS last week, he never left and remained in the building to put the finishing touches on Donda which is now slated to release on August 6...
Tiffany Cross Tells Conservative Troll Megyn Kelly To “Stop Punching Above Her Weight” During Legendary Monologue
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marla Aufmuth / Getty This is exactly why fans of Tiffany Cross, aka politics bae, have been screaming for years for MSNBC to give her a show. Over the weekend, Tiffany Cross had time for the conservative troll and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly for constantly hating on Black women like Naomi Osaka and Meghan Markle. Cross has been used her well-deserved MSNBC weekend show The Cross Connection to address Kelly, or as she hilariously and accurately called her the “Queen of Karens” for her unwarranted comments towards Black women during her popular segment. She began the viral dialogue by pointing out that she usually uses the time to address “relevant” individuals. Still, for this particular instance, she would instead take a “slightly different approach...
Blueface Attacked By Fan After Giving The Fade To TikTok Star
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Hollywood To You/Star Max / Getty Blueface was once a standout high school athlete and appears to keep himself in good shape despite his big-time rapper lifestyle. In a recent bare-knuckle bout in which the rapper took on and bested a TikTok star, a fan tried to start some static with Blueface and caught a couple of crisp blows to the grill in the process. As reported by MMA Mania, the “Thotiana” star was a featured fighter for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 19 event at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Fla. Blueface, who stands at 6-foot-3, took out Kane Trujillo in the bare-knuckle brawl and showed great sportsmanship after the match in congratulating his opponent. However, a 35-year-old spectator rushed the ring and got himself a residual...
