Bad Bunny Gives Surprise Concert On Flatbed Truck In New York City
Source: Uforia / Euforia Bad Bunny sure knows how to put on a show doesn’t he? Yesterday (September 20) the Reggaeton superstar from Puerto Rico gave New York City fans a night to remember when he performed on the top of a flatbed truck that rolled through the streets of the Big Apple and blessed Nuyoricans with an unexpected concert no one saw coming. In conjunction with Univision and Verizon, the impromptu performance kicked off the return of Uforia Music Series which will actually be featuring a few more virtual performances for Hispanic Heritage Month. Yesterday’s show followed Bad Bunny as he made his way from the Bronx through Washington Heights and ultimately stopping in Harlem Hospital where he thanked and performed for a crowd of nurses and EMT workers who stood tall during the wo...
Looking At You Skip Bayless: LeBron James Claps Back At Critics Following Lakers Game 2 Win
Source: Kevin C. Cox / Getty LeBron James had time for armchair experts critiquing his performance on the court. Fresh off a stunning Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Denver Nuggets in game two of the Western Conference Finals that saw Anthony Davis nail a buzzer-beating three, James took some time to address his haters. Before the game came down to the defining moment, the Lakers were cruising, for the most part, led by a torrid start by James before he cooled off in the second half, and Davis took over. Critics like professional LeBron James hater, Skip Bayless, didn’t waste time twisting himself into a pretzel to find a way to fault King James for the Lakers almost losing the game. They believe that Bron was trying to get himself out of the pivotal moment and relieving himself of the...

Weezer, Fall Out Boy Face Off On Celebrity Family Feud
This summer’s Hella Mega Tour, featuring Weezer, Green Day, and Fall Out Boy, was slated to be 2020’s biggest rock expedition. But with cancellations being the new norm, the guys nonetheless found a way to give us a showdown. Before the Emmy Awards on Sunday (Sept. 20), during what can now be known as one of the most punk-rock game show moments ever, Weezer and Fall Out Boy put their familial bonds to the test with host Steve Harvey on a new episode of Celebrity Family Feud. Interestingly enough, the band members weren’t the only guys competing. Actor Seth Green — who appeared in the music video for “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race,” played alongside Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump. Both crews also promised to donate their winnings to a charity of their choice: For FOB, that w...
Fleet Foxes Announce Shore, First Album in Three Years

The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie to Release Posthumous Album
The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie died at the age of 53 nearly three years ago. A few months before his death, Downie went to the band’s Bath, Ontario studio where he recorded 10 songs both acoustically and electrically. The session was led by guitarist and co-writer Josh Finlayson, and the songs will now be released next month. All 20 songs will be released on the collection titled Away Is Mine.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion Make Australian Chart History With ‘WAP’
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” grabs a piece of chart history as it snags a fifth week at No. 1 in Australia, while Marilyn Manson bags his second leader on the national albums chart with We Are Chaos. The controversial “WAP” is just the third female-led hip-hop song to rule Australia’s singles chart. And with its streak now extending past a month, it stands tall as the longest-running leader in that category, eclipsing Salt-N-Pepa’s “Let’s Talk About Sex.” In its seventh week on the survey, Joel Corry & MNEK’s “Head & Heart” rises 4-3, a new peak. The club track recently logged six weeks at No. 1 in the U.K. Staying in Australia, hip-hop collective Internet Money vault 47-13 with “Lemonade,” featuring guest appearances with Gunna, Don Toliver and Canadian rappe...
Trump Backs Proposed Deal to Keep TikTok Operating In U.S.
President Donald Trump said Saturday he’s given his “blessing” to a proposed deal that would see the popular video-sharing app TikTok partner with Oracle and Walmart and form a U.S. company. Trump has targeted Chinese-owned TikTok for national security and data privacy concerns in the latest flashpoint in the rising tensions between Washington and Beijing. The president’s support for a deal comes just a day after the Commerce Department announced restrictions that if put in place could eventually make it nearly impossible for TikTok’s legions of younger fans to use the app. Trump said if completed the deal would create a new company likely to be based in Texas. “I have given the deal my blessing,” he said. “If they get it done, that’s great. If they don’t, that’s OK too.” Trump said the ne...
Following TikTok Deal, Judge Agrees to Delay U.S. Restrictions on WeChat
A judge has approved a request from a group of U.S. WeChat users to delay looming federal government restrictions that could effectively make the popular app nearly impossible to use. In a ruling dated Saturday, Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler in California said the government’s actions would affect users’ First Amendment rights, as an effective ban on the app would remove their platform for communication. WeChat is a messaging-focused app popular with many Chinese-speaking Americans that serves as a lifeline to friends, family, customers and business contacts in China. It’s owned by Chinese tech giant Tencent. The group of WeChat users requested an injunction after the U.S. Commerce Department said Friday it would bar WeChat from U.S. app stores and keep it from accessing essential interne...
Justin Bieber Aiming For U.K. Top 10 Berth With ‘Holy’ Featuring Chance The Rapper
Justin Bieber could extend his run of U.K. Top 10 singles to 21 with “Holy,” though another No. 1 appears out of his reach for now. The Canadian pop singer’s collaboration with Chance The Rapper is the highest new entry on the Official Chart: First Look, starting at No. 10. The First Look survey captures sales and streaming data from the first 48 hours in the weekly chart cycle. At the top of the leaderboard is 24kGoldn’s “Mood” featuring Iann Dior, the most streamed track over the weekend. “Mood” usurps the current champion, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP,” which has lorded over the Official U.K. Singles Chart for three weeks. Also eying new chart peaks are Paul Woolford & Diplo’s “Looking For Me” featuring Kareen Lomax (No. 4); Jason Derulo’s “Take You Dancing” (No. 7); and M...
