Ricky Martin‘s big night at the 2025 VMAs on Sunday (Sept. 7) kicked off with a special introduction by J Balvin, who gave a heartfelt speech about the Puerto Rican superstar’s influence and legacy. “Ricky Martin didn’t just set the stage for the Latin takeover, he built it from the ground up,” Balvin said. “He inspired me and so many Latinos. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here.” Shortly after, the man of the hour, who was also honored with the inaugural Latin Icon Award, took over the stage wearing suit-like attire for the special occasion: an elegant white blazer, black slacks and a bandana around his neck. Some of those clothing items would eventually come off, and, as they did, he performed a megahits medley, kicking off with the fan-favorite, hip-swiveling “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” With a full band in tow and a troupe of dancers, Ricky went on to perform a riveting set, singing in English and Spanish, and executing enviable dance moves that showcase how dynamic he is on stage. The hits included “Pégate,” “Shake Your Bon-Bon,” “Vente Pa’Ca,” “Maria” and “The Cup of Life,” which had Ariana Grande on her feet, singing and clapping along to the soccer anthem. After he finished his performance, Jessica Simpson took the stage for a full-circle moment. “Back in 1999, when I was just starting out, the biggest pop star in the world asked me to open up for him on his Livin’ La Vida Loca Tour. It was a dream come true,” she said before handing him the Latin Icon Award. Martin then took center stage to give a short but sweet speech, accepting the special honor. “This is very simple, this is for you all. Thank you so much for your applause,” he said with a smile from ear to ear. “I’m addicted to your applause, that’s why I keep coming up. It’s you not only here in America, but all over the world. It’s been 40 years. I started when I was a baby, and we’re still here. We just want to unite countries, break boundaries and keep music alive.” He also went on to dedicate the award to his kids. “Everything I do, I do it with you in my mind and in my heart.” Martin’s special performance at the VMAs on Sunday at New York’s UBS Arena marked the 26th anniversary of his first VMAs performance, during which he performed “She’s All I Ever Had” and “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Watch his performance below: Source link

While ROSÉ already has some VMAs in her back pocket thanks to BLACKPINK’s several wins at the MTV Video Music Awards over the years, the New Zealand/South Korean singer now has one of her own as a solo artist – and the big moment was not lost on her. Explore See latest videos, charts and news Bruno Mars & ROSÉ’s smash “APT.” (which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100) was named the song of the year at the 2025 VMAs on Sunday (Sept. 7) night at the USB Arena in Elmont, N.Y. Taking the stage to accept the honor (Mars was not present at the show), Rosé unfurled a pre-written note and read a well-thought-out, personal speech. “I feel like this is a really big moment for myself and a lot of other people,” she began before pausing, laughing a bit and continuing. “Thank you so much, Bruno. I can’t believe this. I’m gonna call you after, thank you so much for believing in me.” ROSÉ then brought it back in time. “Someone asked me the other day what my fear in life was and I was quite shocked at my own response. I had no idea how deeply personal this journey had been for me. I told them I feared that somewhere along this journey of pursuing my dreams I might hit a wall and disappoint my 16-year-old self who grew up always an oddball among society, who wished someday she could be herself and pursue her dreams like anyone else I saw on television.” Holding her speech and the Moon Person, she declared, “Twelve years later I dedicate this award to my 16-year-old self who dreamed and to all those who have watched me grow into the artist I am today. Every single one of you has put me here…. Now I believe there is no imposter in the world when MTV has given me this award at the VMAs.” Rosé thanked her team, her label, her fellow BLACKPINK members and “my loyal fans for believing in me.” “This is a really big moment for 16-year-old me and anyone else who has dreamed of being accepted equally for their hard work,” she said. “As my therapist tells me to do every day, I’d like to thank myself for not giving up even in the toughest of times.” Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox Sign Up Source link

This weekend brought more surprises to fans attending the Jonas Brothers’ 20th anniversary tour, with appearances from both John Legend and 5 Seconds of Summer at the band’s Saturday night show (Sept. 6) in Los Angeles. Explore See latest videos, charts and news Legend was the first special guest on the Jonas Brothers’ stage at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., the latest stop on the brothers’ Greetings From Your Hometown Tour — a trek that’s so far also been the setting of a live Fifth Harmony reunion, a Camp Rock sing-along with Demi Lovato and more. The star performed his 2013 ballad “All of Me” (as seen in slide four of this Instagram post from the Jonas Brothers) and “I Believe” with the group, from their 2019 album Happiness Begins. Later in the show, 5 Seconds of Summer shared the stage with the Jonas Brothers, which the siblings casually joked about in a bit for TikTok: “Do you think they’re gonna play ‘She Looks So Perfect’ by 5 Seconds of Summer?” Nick asks in the clip, to which Joe replies, “No, this is the Jonas Brothers’ concert, silly goose,” before cutting to a concert video of the live collab that did indeed happen that night in L.A. “legends!!” 5SOS commented on the post. The guys next bring their show to West Valley City, Utah (Sept. 13); Vancouver, B.C., in Canada (Sept. 18); Portland, Oregon (Sept. 20), and Seattle, Wash.

Doja Cat continued her streak of visually dazzling awards show performances with a fabulously retro presentation of new single “Jealous Type” to kick off the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night (Sept. 7). Explore See latest videos, charts and news After LL Cool J introduced the evening, Doja cut him off mid-sentence via a glitched-out, ‘80s-fied video — then appeared onstage alongside none other than Kenny G, whose smooth jazz nicely led into her lovingly retro single. Doja Cat showed off her choreography skills, vocal theatrics and seasoned rap flow throughout the performance, which culminated in a dance breakdown with the pop star flanked by a guitarist and keytar player strutting with her step by step. The “Jealous Type” showcase was a knowing wink towards MTV’s roots, mixed with a forward-thinking pop sensibility. The audience at the VMAs ceremony responded in kind with rapturous applause. Produced by Y2K and Jack Antonoff, “Jealous Type” was released last month as the lead single to Doja Cat’s upcoming fifth studio album, Vie, which is due out Sept. 26. The song debuted at No. 28 on the Hot 100 chart. Two singles from Doja’s previous album, 2023’s Scarlet, reached the top 10 of the chart. “Jealous Type” is nominated for the Song of Summer award at this year’s Video Music Awards, which are being held at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y.

Sabrina Carpenter scores her second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart as Man’s Best Friend debuts atop the list dated Sept. 13. It launches with 366,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending Sept. 4, according to Luminate. Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 224,000. Both figures mark career-high weeks for the singer-songwriter. Explore See latest videos, charts and news Man’s Best Friend also collects 2025’s biggest week, by units and by album sales, for an album by a woman. It logs the third-biggest week of the year among all albums, by units and by album sales. Further, Man’s Best Friend notches Carpenter’s biggest streaming week for an album, as well as 2025’s biggest streaming debut for an album by a woman. Carpenter previously topped the Billboard 200 with Short n’ Sweet, which also debuted at No. 1, in September 2024, and spent four nonconsecutive weeks atop the list. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Sept. 13, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Sept. 9. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram. Of Man’s Best Friend’s 366,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 224,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart), SEA units comprise 141,000 (equaling 184.11 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 12 songs; it also debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 1,000. In 2025, the three largest weeks for albums, by units, are the opening frames of Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (493,000), The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow (490,000)and Man’s Best Friend (366,000). In traditional album sales, the three biggest weeks of 2025 belong to the bows of Hurry Up Tomorrow (359,000), Stray Kids’ KARMA (296,000) and Man’s Best Friend (224,000). Man’s Best Friend’s album sales were aided by its availability across 13 vinyl variants (two signed by Carpenter), four CD variants (one signed), two cassette variants, a standard digital download album and a deluxe download edition with a bonus track. As Man’s Best Friend’s first-week SEA units total 141,000, that equates to 184.11 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 12 songs in its first week. That’s the largest streaming debut for an album by a woman in 2025, as well as Carpenter’s best streaming week yet. Man’s Best Friend was preceded by its first single, “Manchild,” which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 (June 21), marking her second leader after Short n’ Sweet’s “Please Please Please” (in June 2024). Notably, Man’s Best Friend is the first album by a woman to top the Billboard 200 in five months, since Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine was No. 1 on the April 12 chart. Carpenter ends the longest wait for a No. 1 by a woman in three years. The last longer gap between No. 1 albums by a woman was the seven-month gap between the final week atop the list for Adele’s 30 on the Jan. 8, 2022, chart, and the debut of Beyoncé’s Renaissance on the Aug. 13, 2022 chart. Man’s Best Friend is the lone debut in the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200. Holding at No. 2 is the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, which logs its seventh nonconsecutive week in the runner-up slot (its peak), with 120,000 equivalent album units earned (down 5%). Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping I’m the Problem is a non-mover at No. 3 (105,000, down 10%), Stray Kids’ KARMA falls 1-4 in its second week (61,000, down 80%) and Alex Warren’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid climbs 8-5 (38,000, down 1%). Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time jumps 10-6 with 35,000 equivalent album units earned (down 6%), Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet skips 15-7 (34,000, up 17%), Gunna’s The Last Wun rises 9-8 (34,000, down 11%) and SZA’s chart-topping SOS ascends 12-9 (34,000, down 1%). BigXthaPlug’s I Hope You’re Happy falls 7-10 in its second week to close out the top 10 (30,000, down 37%).

Each of the three CDs also features an alternate album cover — in the themes of “It’s Frightening,” “It’s Rapturous” and “It’s Beautiful,” all of which were first seen in a limited pre-sale on Swift’s webstore that quickly sold out. (Instead of an exclusive poster, the webstore limited-edition CDs were packaged with photo cards and jewelry.) Select U.S. store locations will have the three Target-exclusive CDs available to purchase in person at midnight local time on Oct. 3. Target’s website has published a list of participating stores organized by state. In addition to pre-orders for the three Target-exclusive and four webstore-exclusive CD variants of The Life of a Showgirl, Swift’s webstore previously launched pre-orders for (and sold out of) three sets of limited edition vinyl variants of the star’s upcoming 12th studio album: the “Shiny Bug” edition, pressed on wintergreen onyx and violet shimmer discs; the “Baby, That’s Show Business” edition, on lovely bouquet orange and lakeside beach blue discs, and the “Tiny Bubbles in Champagne” edition, on under bright lights pearlescent and red lipstick & lace discs. Collectors had to be early birds in order to snag these — none remain available to purchase. Swift announces new webstore releases via her email list. Details about The Life of a Showgirl were officially announced by the showgirl herself in an Aug. 12 appearance on New Heights, the podcast fiancé Travis Kelce’s hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. The set’s main cover, its 12-song tracklist and its Oct. 3 release date were revealed during the podcast episode, which marked Swift’s first time as a guest on the Kelce brothers’ show. Swift said she reunited with producers Max Martin and Shellback for her new project during the European leg of The Eras Tour, noting that her “main goals were melodies that were so infectious, you’re almost angry at it.” The trio first collaborated during 2012’s Red era, on singles including “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “I Knew You Were Trouble,” and went on to expand their creative relationship on 2014’s 1989 (“Shake It Off,” “Blank Space” and more) and 2016’s Reputation (“…Ready for It?” and “End Game” among their credits). The Life of a Showgirl follows The Tortured Poets Department, Swift’s eleventh studio album, which was released in 2024. Tortured Poets held the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 for a total of 17 weeks. Source link
