TINI’s “La Triple T” holds the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart for a second week (chart dated May 21), two weeks after it flew in at No. 53. The track is the Argentinian’s first leader as a soloist, unaccompanied by another act, among a collection of three champs, including her seven-week run atop the list: “Bar,” with L-Gante (starting on the chart dated Nov. 20, 2021). Harry Styles secures his highest ranking dating back to his first entry in May 2020, as “As It Was” climbs 7-2 after a two-week No. 7 high. While Emilia’s “Cuatro Veinte” holds steady at No. 3 for a fourth week (after its No. 2 peak) and Sofía Reyes and Maria Becerra’s “Marte” sits at No. 4, a new title visits the upper tier: Bad Bunny’s “Ojitos Lindos,” with Bomba Estéreo, surges 19-5 in its second wee...

The drop explodes into a mind-bending combination of vocal chops, bright synths, and unpredictable rhythms, making up for a sing...
As one of the most innovative artists in his genre, Giuseppe Ottaviani has always managed to retain a sense of freshness in his work. Productions like his acclaimed Live 2.0 and Live 3.0 sets have seen the Italian DJ producing tracks live in front of thousands, the latter of which became the foundation of his 2019 album, Evolver. The all-instrumental record was a culmination of years of demos born out of the main stage, hotel rooms, or soundcheck and perfectly encapsulated the sounds of the late night club scene. The 17-track album includes staples like “Panama” and “Colours,” which are integral records in Ottaviani’s growing repertoire. Fast-forward to today, Ottaviani has released the follow-up to Evolver, though this time his muse was not the jam...
A federal jury mostly sided with Gibson Brands on Friday (May 27) in a lawsuit that accused rival Dean Guitars of copying the shape of the company’s guitars like the Flying V, though the jurors awarded Gibson just $4,000 in damages. The verdict came after more than three years of litigation and two weeks of trial over whether Dean parent company Armadillo Enterprises infringed trademark-protected design elements of several Gibson guitars, including the Flying V, Explorer, ES, SG and the Dove Wing. In a key win for Gibson, the jurors rejected arguments by Dean that those designs had become so commonplace that they’re now “generic” and free for all to use. And with that finding, the jurors also said Dean had infringed those designs by selling look-alike guitars. But the jury also found that ...
