The Billboard Latin Music Awards 2020 will broadcast live on Oct. 21 via Telemundo, with awards to be given out in 59 categories honoring the top artists, songs, albums, labels, publishers, songwriters and producers of the year. MALUMA (2015) Five years ago, Maluma joined the conference as part of the “TV and the Music Star” panel, where he revealed how being a part of Colombia’s The Voice propelled him to stardom and how, at the time, he was able to become the most-followed Latin male artist on Instagram ever. In 2017, he sat down with Billboard’s Leila Cobo and Griselda Flores for the “Socializing Maluma” discussion on how he works his social media accounts.

Chrissy Teigen Breaks Her Silence After Miscarriage: ‘We Are Quiet But We Are Okay’
Two weeks after suffering a miscarriage, Chrissy Teigen is speaking out for the first time. “We are quiet but we are okay. Love you all so much,” she wrote on Instagram on Friday (Oct. 16) alongside a series of screenshotted tweets from her husband John Legend, who earlier in the day, shared why he dedicated his song “Never Break” to Teigen after performing the track at Wednesday night’s 2020 Billboard Music Awards. “This is for Chrissy. I love and cherish you and our family so much. We’ve experienced the highest highs and lowest lows together,” he wrote. “Watching you carry our children has been so moving and humbling. I’m in awe of the strength you’ve shown through the most challenging moments. What an awesome gift it is to be able to ...
Here Are the Lyrics to JP Saxe’s ‘If the World Was Ending,’ Feat. Julia Michaels
JP Saxe and Julia Michaels wonder “If the World Was Ending,” you’d come over, right? Michaels said the apocalyptic love song, coincidentally written before the COVID-19 pandemic, took on a new meaning for her. “I think now more than ever I want to be surrounded by the people that I love,” she said. Saxe told Billboard in April that the two were inspired by the massive back-to-back earthquakes in LA in July 2019. “After the earthquakes in Los Angeles, we were talking about how our decision-making would look if we were in a world-ending situation, what that would feel like, what we would want, who we would want to be with. The song itself is very much the kind of conversation we were having,” he said in the interview. You Deserve ...
The Lincoln Project Shares Powerful Music Video to Demi Lovato’s ‘Commander in Chief’
Demi Lovato unveiled her political stance in her new song “Commander in Chief,” and now the Lincoln Project is building on the track’s emotional message. The anti-Trump political action committee shared their own music video for the song on Thursday (Oct. 15), and shows clips of the devastating effects from the president’s mismanagement of the coronavirus, of people on ventilators in hospitals and families with masks only able to talk to each other through glass doors. The scene then turns to the Black Lives Matter movement, as thousands of protesters took to the streets across the nation to demand justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and more who have been killed at the hands of police. The vignette ends on an uplifting note, with people of all races, ages and ...

5 Best Moments From MTV Unplugged Presents ‘Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions’
1. The Britney Spears cover Cyrus strutted onto her at-home stage looking like an 80s dream in a flowy zebra-print dress, matching gloves, big black-and-white sunglasses, gold accessories and, of course, her blonde mullet and a red lip. She kicked off the show with a rocked-out rendition of Spears’ 2007 hit “Gimme More.” The dark twist on the mid-2000s pop track was made complete with Cyrus’ characteristic rasp and Southern twang. 2. Nico’s “These Days” Following the grit of “Gimme More,” Cyrus smoothed it out with a breezy cover of Nico’s 1967 track “These Days.” Surrounded by palm trees with red paper hearts hanging from the leaves and the sunlight shining behind her, the singer had us holding onto summer as she sang...
Chaka Khan Says She’s Done Collaborating With Other Women — Even Ariana Grande
Chaka Khan has no interest in collaborating with her fellow female singers anymore, according to a very candid new interview. While chatting with VladTV (watch below), the legendary singer told host Luenell which artists she would consider working with. But when Ariana Grande‘s name was mentioned, Khan brushed her off. “She’s all right, she’s good on her own. … Plus, I don’t want to sing with another woman. I ain’t got nothing to say with a woman.” What makes Chaka’s answer especially surprising is that the pair just teamed up last year on “Nobody” for the 2019 Charlie’s Angels soundtrack, which Grande co-executive-produced in 2019. In a red-carpet interview for Variety‘s&n...
Maroon 5’s ‘Nobody’s Love’ Remix Has an Unexpected Guest Feature: Listen
The original version of “Nobody’s Love” has so far charted at No. 41 on the Hot 100 after being released earlier this summer, and marks the pop act’s first single since the departure of original bassist Mickey Madden. The track follows the success of the band’s 2019 hit “Memories,” which peaked at No. 2 last September. Both songs are expected to be featured on the band’s upcoming, as-yet-untitled seventh studio album — itself a follow-up to 2017’s Red Pill Blues. Meanwhile, Popcaan’s fourth studio album, Fixtape, dropped in August featuring collaborations with Drake (“All I Need” and “Twist & Turn,” also featuring Partynextdoor), French Montana (“Murda” with Preme) and more. The danceh...
