What Bad Bunny’s No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Means to Latin Music
The feat being unprecedented come as a surprise to many. Didn’t J.Lo and Shakira and Ricky Martin and other big Latin names have No. 1s on the chart before? They did, of course — but never with Spanish-language albums. Selena’s Dreaming of You, released just a few months after her death in 1995, debuted at No. 1, but it featured five tracks in English, six in Spanish and two in both, in part because Selena died before finishing what was conceived as a predominantly English album. In 1999, Ricky Martin debuted at No. 1 with his dazzling self-titled “crossover” set, which included No. 1 hit “Livin La Vida Loca” in both languages, plus three other Spanish-language versions of songs in English. Jennifer López’s sophomore album, J.Lo, also debuted at No. 1 in February 2021; it included th...
Mariah Carey’s ‘Oh Santa!’ Collab With Ariana Grande & Jennifer Hudson Is This Week’s Fan Favorite New Music
The holiday team-up, which is featured in Carey’s Magical Christmas Special, does an impressive job of balancing three larger-than-life personalities in a little over three minutes, giving each ample time in the spotlight in between harmonies. “I wrote ‘Oh Santa!’ for my album Merry Christmas II You, which was sort of the follow-up to my first Christmas album — we have several — and so I think it was all about the actual event, of course, of doing ‘Oh Santa!’ with Jennifer and Ari, but it was also like, how do I see this as a producer?” Carey previously told Billboard of the collaboration. “How do I see these vocals having different textures, what are they? Because originally, I was blending with myself, which that&...

JoJo Siwa is the latest celebrity to share her experience with coronavirus. “I did end up getting it, the big, dreaded COVID-19. It got through my whole family,” the 17-year-old told ET, noting that thankfully, symptoms were mild. “We had headaches, we were tired, we had shortness of breath, we had all the things. All my family actually lost their taste and smell, but all have it back.

Dua Lipa Performs First-Ever Tiny Desk (Home) Concert: Watch
Dua Lipa has had a truly breakout year, and she’s riding the wave all the way through to the end: today, the pop star officially made her NPR Tiny Desk debut. Lipa performed a “Home” edition of the long-running concert series that featured stripped-back versions of songs from her Grammy-nominated 2020 album Future Nostalgia . Although these renditions of “Levitating”, “Pretty Please”, “Love Again”, and “Don’t Start Now” are more minimal than the glossy forms they took on Future Nostalgia, the performance was by no means a solo set. Lipa was joined by the six-person backing band that she would’ve been touring the world with if 2020 didn’t turn out the way it did, and they all added a great deal of warmth and color that complements Lipa’s absolutely spot-on singing. In between songs, the 25-...
Paris Jackson On How Radiohead and Mushrooms Inspired Her Debut
While making her debut solo album, Paris Jackson wasn’t concerned about flaunting her musical heritage. “It’s really just about the music itself,” says the 22-year-old singer-songwriter and daughter of Michael Jackson. “I’ve been writing for a really long time, and I wanted to get into the studio.” The end result is the recently released wilted, an ethereal concept record on “heartbreak, betrayal, grief and rebirth” that, says Jackson, “tells my journey.” She reveals who awoke her inner artist — and what she surrounded herself with in order to open up.

Dua Lipa Throws a Joyful Living Room Party For NPR Tiny Desk Home Concert
The teeny set marks one of the only performances Lipa has put on with her crew since the tour in support of her sophomore album Future Nostalgia was canceled in March. “It’s about manifesting good things into your life, when things aren’t quite going your way,” she said as an intro to the introspective ballad “Love Again.” The set, of course, ended with a living room dance jam version of the singer’s smash hit “Don’t Start Now.” And, even though we’re all still stuck at home for a bit longer as the COVID-19 pandemic rages out of control across the country, Lipa has been doing her best to keep us entertained. In fact, more than five million of DL’s fans tuned in to last Friday’s “Studio 2054”...

Miley Cyrus Talks Virtual Sex, Dua Lipa and Covers Hole’s ‘Doll Parts’
