Five Burning Questions: Camila Cabello and Ed Sheeran’s ‘Bam Bam’ Debuts at No. 23
Camila Cabello ended the 2010s with a pair of Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit singles and a Billboard 200 albums chart-topping debut LP, one of the most promising solo breakout stories of the decade. It’s been success she’s had a little trouble matching a couple years into the 2020s — but the trend may be reversing with the release of her latest single, the Ed Sheeran-featuring “Bam Bam.” Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news With a tear-stained music video and lyrics seemingly addressing her breakup with fellow pop star Shawn Mendes, “Bam Bam” nonetheless rides an umptempo, salsa-inflected acoustic groove — and has proven a pretty easy sell on radio and streaming, rising to No. 22 on Billboard‘s Pop Airplay chart and debuting at No. 13 on Streaming Song...
Makin’ Tracks: Michael Ray Delivers a Classic Story Song With the Swampy ‘Holy Water’
When the video for Michael Ray’s “Holy Water” debuts March 16, some of the footage will take viewers to the Cassia Baptist Church — a little white house of worship in Eustis, Fla., that the singer attended three times a week during his youth. The preacher’s goal on many a Sunday is to define the line between right and wrong, though in practice, it’s not always so easy. That gray area in between is fertile ground for drama, and that’s a big reason that Ray recorded “Holy Water” in the first place. Explore See latest videos, charts and news “That’s what I love about the story,” he says. “It’s like a movie in your ears.” A short movie, though: The typical film lasts around two hours, while the action in “Holy Water” takes place in a scant three-and-a-half minutes, exploring a man of the cloth...
Kelly Clarkson Gets ‘Nostalgic’ With New Performance of an Old Song: Watch
Kellyoke is typically a place for Kelly Clarkson to pay tribute to other artists, but in the Tuesday (March 15) installment of The Kelly Clarkson Show‘s live music cover series, she dusted off one of her own songs. Throwing her audience back to 2015, the three-time Grammy winner took the stage with her band Y’all for a sentimental performance of her fittingly titled seven-year-old track “Nostalgic.” Though Clarkson usually adapts hit songs from all generations to fit her signature power vocals, singing an original track meant opportunities for belted riffs and sustained high notes were already built in — opportunities she took with a graceful power only Kelly Clarkson could deliver. Explore See latest videos, charts and news And though this was a rare instance of the “Stronger” s...
