J Balvin Launches Latest Musician-Backed McDonald’s Meal
After the massive success of McDonald’s Travis Scott Meal, it’s only fair that other musicians hopped on board for the McMadness. For the company’s second musician-backed partnership, Reggaeton artist J Balvin announced Monday that he’s got his own meal making its way to stores. And it’s pretty sweet. The “J Balvin” will feature a Big Mac, medium fries and his own personal favorite OREO McFlurry. Balvin’s meal is available until Nov. 1, and those who purchase via the McDonald’s App can get the McFlurry for free by selecting the offer.

Saint JHN Taps J Balvin for New Feature on Imanbek’s Hit Remix of “Roses”
Saint JHN continues to ride the second revival of his single “Roses” as he taps J Balvin to rev the worldwide hit with Reggaeton energy. Ghetto Lenny infuses beats from the Imanbek remix and makes it his own, melodically rapping over Imanbek’s ubiquitous upbeat tempo and breathing new life into the “Roses” saga.

Bad Bunny Aiming to Replace Himself at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums Chart
Bad Bunny is aiming to replace himself at No. 1, again, on the Top Latin Albums chart. His surprise release Las Que No Iban a Salir, could earn over 40,000 equivalent album units in the week ending May 14, according to industry forecasters.
