After fellow country star Carrie Underwood‘s version of “America the Beautiful” was delivered a cappella after two awkward minutes of silence at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony on Monday (Jan. 20), the technical issues appeared to continue later that night during a shambolic set by Billy Ray Cyrus at the Liberty Ball. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news In video of the performance, a confused-looking Cyrus, 63, begins strumming his electric guitar after playing the video intro to Lil Nas X’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Old Town Road” on the screen behind him. As the audio from the song cued up, Cyrus attempted to play guitar and sing along, with his instrument and vocals inaudible as he looked around in confusion. At one point he turned his back to the audience for several seconds, then moved back to the mic to no avail in what turned into a bizarre lip synch ramble that went viral for all the wrong reasons. “I think y’all was just getting warmed up, to be honest. You wanna do a little more of it,” Cyrus croaked, as he strummed the song’s melody on his guitar and whistled the chorus through his teeth to a silent audience just after the video’s credits rolled behind him. After singing the song’s chorus in a crackly voice and rapidly skipping back and forth across the stage while the crowd finally came to life and sang the lines back to him, Cyrus tried to get the audience to clap along to his a cappella singing, explaining, “they told me to kill as much time as possible,” and wondering if they knew the words to his signature 1992 breakthrough hit, “Achy Breaky Heart.” “Is my guitar still on?” Cyrus asked. “I think they cut me off. I don’t hear my guitar anymore.” Looking around for help, while saying “check” into his mic, Cyrus said, “is anybody awake? I don’t hear it. Do y’all hear this? Where’s everybody at? Check. Is anyone back there? Can someone turn my guitar back on? We gonna sing a little bit more.” As the awkward silence continued, Cyrus looked in vain for help, asking the crowd, “Do y’all want me to sing more or do you just want me to get the hell off the stage? I don’t give a damn.” A guitar tech finally came out and tried to remedy the sound problems with the guitar to no avail. Cyrus then made reference to Underwood’s performance just hours earlier, where she sang without the planned accompaniment from the Armed Forces Chorus and the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club after a long, awkward silence during the swearing-in for Trump. “I could try it like this… After what Carrie Underwood did today — wasn’t Carrie Underwood fabulous? — Carrie Underwood, you were amazing today,” Cyrus said, taking off his hat and bandana to mild applause. “They had technical difficulties too. And in life, when you have technical difficulties you just gotta keep going. Or as President Trump would say, you gotta fight!” After another try, Cyrus asked his fans to “just snap your fingers” as he did a raspy a cappella bit of “Achy Breaky Heart” before leaving the stage. At press time it did not appear that Lil Nas X had reacted to Cyrus’ performance and Cyrus had seemingly not reacted to posts dubbing his set an “epic disaster.” Cyrus did post a pic from his performance on Instagram, writing, “Honored to kick off the Liberty Ball at the request of our 47th President and Commander-in-Chief @realdonaldtrump. When you get knocked down, you get back up. You fight and persevere,” which followed up an earlier image from his sound check at Capitol One Arena. Watch Cyrus’ performance below. Source link

Suffice to say, Jade Thirwall and Harry Styles weren’t written in the stars. While serving as a guest on Louis Theroux’s podcast episode posted Tuesday (Jan. 21), the Little Mix star reflected on meeting the One Direction alum during their early days on The X Factor, revealing that they went on one date before a certain teen heartthrob ghosted her. While talking about her career beginnings on Simon Cowell’s talent competition show, Thirlwall shared that she and Styles met — and hit it off — when both of them were auditionees. “I think we went on like one date when we were 16 or something,” she said. “He’d just got put in a band, and it was really funny, because we kept in touch. Then the minute they went on live shows, he didn’t message me back.” “I thought, ‘That’s it, now he’s gone. He’s made it,’” the “IT Girl” singer continued, laughing. Thirlwall tried out for The X Factor in 2010, but didn’t make the cut. That same year, Styles also auditioned and was sorted into One Direction with bandmates Liam Payne — who died in October — Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan. The boy band placed third on the show. The next year, Thirlwall re-auditioned for X Factor, this time earning a spot in girl group Little Mix alongside Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson. After she made it onto the show — later winning the season with her band — the “Angel of My Dreams” musician says she ran into Styles again. “He was like, ‘I’m really sorry I ignored you,’” she recalled. “I was so young, it didn’t really matter. But he was always very, very lovely. He’s gotten himself to where he is because he’s very talented and he’s very lovely. Very charming.” Little Mix went on to release six studio albums between 2012 and 2020, notching three singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Nelson left the group at the end of 2020, and the remaining trio announced a hiatus the following year. In 2024, Thirlwall finally kicked off her solo career with the release of debut single “Angel of My Dreams.” She’s since dropped the tracks “Midnight Cowboy,” “Fantasy” and “IT Girl.” Listen to Thirlwall talk about Styles and Payne on The Louis Theroux Podcast below.

Soulja Boy isn’t letting up on Drake. Big Draco went on another scathing rant about America and took some more shots at Drizzy over the weekend. “Drake you a b—h,” he began in a livestream. “You can’t even come to America and talk to the president. F–k boy, stay in Canada where your b— a– belong at. You’s a b—h.” Soulja went on to poke Drake about his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over the alleged artificial inflation of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss track. “Ya’ll the type of [people] that sue [people]… like Drake,” he continued. “Y’all hoes. Y’all the type of people that lose a rap battle and sue a n—a … I’m a real gangster, bro. I could never sue a n—a.” Billboard has reached out to Drake for comment. As the dust settled on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle last summer, Soulja expressed his disappointment in the OVO boss. “You disappointed me,” he wrote in July to X. “Doing all them weak a– songs with them niggaz look where It got u none of them n—-z you collab with or took on tour had yo back.” Over the weekend, Soulja Boy claimed he was in Washington, D.C., working on getting the TikTok ban lifted. The popular app was only gone in the United States for about 12 hours before returning on Sunday (Jan. 19). “In Washington DC doing meetings trying to get this TikTok ban lifted,” he wrote to X. Last week, Soulja Boy went after his “We Made It” collaborator once again. “Time to disappear,” Big Draco added. “PS Drake u went out sad.” Watch Soulja Boy talk Drake below: Source link

Like any artist about to launch his music to the world, Bad Bunny was nervous on the eve of the release of his new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, on January 5. But the Puerto Rican superstar had particular reason to feel on edge this time: He was releasing an album that, unlike any of his previous reggaetón and urban sets, prominently featured Puerto Rican rhythms and genres, including salsa — a major departure in sound and attitude. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “The day before the album release, I was super anxious,” Bunny (real name Benito Martínez Ocasio) tells Billboard. “I couldn’t sleep, wondering if people would like it, if I did the right thing by including those kinds of songs, [worried about] the things that I said,” Bad Bunny’s last three albums — El Último Tour Del Mundo (2020), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023) — had all debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. But DeBÍ was being released on a Sunday, which meant Bunny would miss a full two days of sales tallies, as the chart’s tracking week runs Friday through Thursday. The gamble met with mixed results initially. DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS debuted at No 2 on the chart, behind Lil Baby’s WHAM. But instead of retreating, Bunny doubled down, co-hosting The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, busking on New York subway stations, hosting morning shows in San Juan and making impromptu appearances at the studios of well-known Puerto Rican podcasters like Chente Ydrach. Bunny, known for being furtive and press averse, was suddenly ubiquitous. By now, his strategy has clearly paid off. This week, Debí rises to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated Jan. 25, besting Taylor Swift’s reissued Lover: Live From Paris, proof that promotion works — but so does sincerity, as Bunny tells Billboard in an interview following his No. 1 achievement. Here’s how he claimed the top spot, for the fourth time — with a Spanish-language album that specifically honors his Puerto Rican roots. This is your fourth No. 1 with a Spanish language album on the Billboard 200. What’s the importance of achieving this to you? Man, obviously I’m thankful with the way the world has embraced this album. The thing is, this project… it isn’t mine. It belongs to many people: everyone who worked with me, it belongs to Puerto Rico, my friends, my family. This project belongs to all of us who feel proud of being from Puerto Rico and being Latin. So, having this project go to No. 1, besting all these other great artists and great projects makes it much more special. To be very honest with you, and I’ve said it to everyone: I didn’t expect this. The day before the album release, I was super anxious, I couldn’t sleep wondering if people would like it, if I did the right thing by including those kinds of songs, [worried about] the things that I said. The vision had always been to enjoy the creative process and do something special for Puerto Rico. I always thought that in Puerto Rico, people would connect with me and enjoy the album. And Puerto Ricans outside the island too. But I never imagined the whole world would. That’s taken me by surprise. You’ve never been one to do much promo with an album release. In fact, many of your albums are surprise drops. And yet, this time you were everywhere, doing all kinds of media in the U.S. and in Puerto Rico. And you also posted heavily on social media prior to the release. Why? I’ve always worked as a team. And for a long time, my team had asked me for presaves, countdown, pre-ads for other albums and I never had the opportunity to do it. This time I promised them I would. I let myself by taken along, as we say. And we wanted to begin paving the way in December and begin giving that vibe, connecting musically. That’s why the singles came out in December: “El Club” on December 6, and on December 26, “Pitorro de Coco.” I wanted people to connect with the album’s vibe. And I liked my team’s strategy of giving clues to fans little by little. It was something different from what we always do. You’ve released albums on odd dates before, but January 5 felt very random. Aside from the fact that you missed two days of tracking, why choose that date? This is a very special album, and part of its purpose was to bring together generations in a different way; have grandchildren sharing the music with their parents and grandparents and celebrate their culture in a special way. January 5 was a Sunday, which is the perfect day — and it was also the eve of Three Kings Day, a date where, at least in Puerto Rico, the family gets together. That was the purpose. I want to be clear that I know the business, and I know releasing an album on a Sunday means losing nearly three days of streams, and that it affects my placement on the charts. But at no time was that of concern to me. My purpose wasn’t to compete with anyone. My purpose wasn’t to release an album that would interfere with someone else’s. My purpose was what I said: Bring an album with the essence of Puerto Rico that would unite generations, awaken love for the country and the culture, and that people would enjoy. That was it. You did very varied promo, especially the past two weeks. What did you particularly love doing? I really enjoyed talking with media in Puerto Rico, and going on Jimmy Fallon too. But musically, what most fulfilled me, and where I’m super impressed and happy and proud, too, is that the biggest songs in the album are salsa and plena [a traditional Puerto Rican rhythm].

Garth Hudson, the inventive keyboard player whose soulful playing was a key part of 1960s/70s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group The Band‘s country-tinged Americana anthems has died at 87. The last surviving member of the group, Hudson died peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday morning (Jan. 21) at a nursing home in Woodstock, N.Y., according to the Toronto Star. Along with fellow Canadians Robbie Robertson (guitar/vocals), Rick Danko (bass/vocals) and Richard Manuel (piano/vocals) and lone American member, drummer/singer Levon Helm, Hudson was a key component of the unique sound the band explored during its initial 20-year run. He officially began playing with The Band in 1965, after they had served a two-year apprenticeship as the back-up group for rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins. The Hawks — as they were known — left Hawkins’ employ in 1963 after years on the road honing their sound. After meeting Bob Dylan in 1965, the group recorded the song “Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window” the next year for what would become Dylan’s beloved 1966 double album, Blonde on Blonde, which featured such classics as “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35,” “Visions of Johanna,” “I Want You” and “Just Like a Woman.” Dylan toured with The Band as his backing group in 1966 and then joined him in the studio for a series of 1967 sessions that became The Basement Tapes. The fruit of those sessions recorded at the group’s legendary Saugerties, N.Y. home known as Big Pink, were not officially released until 1975. That home was the inspiration for the title of the Band’s 1968 debut album, Music From Big Pink, which spotlighted Hudson’s churchy organ playing on such earthy anthems as “Tears of Rage” and what is perhaps the group’s most well-known song, “The Weight.” For those who saw the Timothée Chalamet Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown — which (spoiler alert) ends after the folk icon burns his bridges by going electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival — it’s instructive to note that The Band served as Dylan’s backup group on his first official electric tour later that year. Though they performed at the Woodstock Festival in 1969 — which took place about 90 minutes from Big Pink — they were not included in the final film due to legal issues. The rustic, black and white cover of their eponymous next album from 1969 was a visual metaphor for their rich, throwback sound, which incorporated dusty barroom laments, aching rock odes and urgent country balladry for a mash-up roping in rock, country and classic R&B. It was all anchored by a gritty, hand-made, sepia-toned quality that served as an antidote to the more expansive, paisley-colored psychedelic experimentation and bombast of the era. Classically trained pianist Eric Garth Hudson was born in Windsor, Ontario on August 2, 1937 and played organ in his church (and at his uncle’s funeral home) as a young man as well as studying music at the University of Western Ontario in the early 1950s before dropping out to join the rock group the Silhouettes. Equally adept at saxophone, trumpet, violin and accordion, among other instruments, Hudson was best known for playing the two-tiered Lowery electric organ, whose distinctive, church-like sound can most famously be heard on the Bach-esque intro to the Band’s 1968 classic “Chest Fever.” That song became a highlight of the group’s shows, during which Hudson reliable performed an extended, improvised solo that roped in bits of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor on its way to stops at classical, jazz and soul. Hudson’s oscillating, bouncing sound can also famously be heard on another of the band’s most well-known tunes, “Up on Cripple Creek,” from the 1969 eponymous album. On that song he played a clavinet through a wah-wah pedal, giving it a distinctive, Jews-harp-like twang; that song reached No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The group would release a handful of albums through the mid-1970s, including 1970s Stage Fright (“The Shape I’m In”) 1971’s Cahoots (”Life Is a Carnival,” “When I Paint My Masterpiece”), 1973’s cover album Moondog Matinee, as well as 1975’s Northern Lights – Southern Cross (“Ophelia,” “It Makes No Difference”) and the final LP by the original lineup, 1977’s Islands, before substance abuse and intra-band quarreling led to their split. As a final, grand gesture, though, they set their disputes aside for one final, blow-out show dubbed The Last Waltz. The all-star show featuring guests Dylan, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and many others, was documented by director Martin Scorsese for the live movie/album of the same name. The group would get back together in the 1980s — without key member Robertson — and released a trio of albums that did not reach the creative or critical heights of their early trio of classics. In addition to his work on albums by Hawkins and John Hammond in his pre-Band days, Hudson could be heard on Dylan’s 1966 Blonde on Blonde album, as well as the soundtracks to Last Summer, Kent State, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy and Best Revenge. Throughout his career he was an in-demand session ace as well, recording tracks for albums by artists including: Bobby Charles, Eric Von Schmidt, Ringo Starr, Maria Muldaur, Paul Butterfield, Neko Case, the Secret Machines, Eric Clapton, Band-mates Danko and Helm, as well as Emmylou Harris, the Lemonheads, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, The Call, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Marianne Faithfull, Camper Van Beethoven and many more. He released his first solo album, The Sea to the North, in 2001, and followed up with 2010’s Garth Hudson Presents a Canadian Celebration of The Band. Hudson was inducted into the Canadian Juno Hall of Fame in 1989 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and received a lifetime achievement awards from the Grammys in 2008.

All appears to be well in the Bieber household, even though Justin Bieber temporarily had fans wondering after his account unfollowed Hailey Bieber on Instagram this week.  Shortly after the internet noticed that the “Baby” singer was no longer following his famous wife on the platform — prompting people to flood social media with questions regarding the couple’s relationship status — Justin cleared the air with a message on his Story Tuesday (Jan. 21).   “SOMEONE WENT ON MY ACCOUNT AND UNFOLLOWED MY WIFE,” claimed the Grammy winner in the since-deleted post. “S–T IS GETTING SUSS OUT HERE.”  Those who were confused can rest assured that Justin has re-followed Hailey on IG. The short-lived unfollowing saga comes just three days after he shared a sweet photo of himself and the Rhode Skin founder holding hands on a recent ice-skating date.   The Biebers married in 2018 after years of on-and-off dating. In August 2024, the singer and model welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jack Blues.   The whole family recently went on a ski trip to Aspen, photos from which Justin also shared on Instagram. In one blurry snap, his 4-month-old son appears to be all bundled up while outside in the snow, and in another picture, the “Peaches” musician snuggles up with Jack.   Justin has been taking time off from music for about four years, revealing in 2022 that he’d been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and had “full paralysis” on one side of his face. His most recent album, Justice, spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021.  However, the artist appears to be in the process of teasing his next era. While in Aspen with his family, Justin also shared photos of himself producing a track on his computer and singing into a microphone in the studio. A few days before that, he uploaded a 24-second clip of a track he’s been working on, featuring the lyrics: “B–ch I’m takin’ bait/ I’m takin’ it/ You takin’ bait/ I’m shakin’ it/ You’re shakin’ it/ Shakin’ off the hate.”  Source link

From their dating days to the wedding and beyond, revisit the couple’s milestone moments. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are a powerhouse couple in the entertainment industry who’ve been married since 2018. But like everyone else, the duo has had ups and downs in their relationship, from the “are they or aren’t they” speculation, to rumors of the two seeing each other while he was dating Selena Gomez, to doubling the joy with two weddings, and more. Their love story started simply and beautifully, with a backstage meeting at NBC’s TODAY show in 2009, thanks to an innocent introduction Hailey’s dad, actor Stephen Baldwin, made between his then 14-year-old daughter and the young pop star. Then just two years later, the two were photographed together on the red carpet at the premiere of his Never Say Never documentary. A few years after that, the pop star’s social media posts led to fan speculation that the two were perhaps more than just friends, which both parties quickly denied. “I’m super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise,” Bieber insisted on social media. Though they refuted rumors of a romance, it wasn’t long before they were sharing holidays and vacations together. Come December 2015, it seemed there was no more denying it. Bieber shared a photo on Instagram of himself sharing a steamy kiss with the model. He confirmed in a July 2018 Instagram post that the couple were engaged. “So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindly,” he wrote to the Rhode founder in his post. Since getting married later that year, the two have endured baby speculation and criticisms of their relationships, helped each other through terrifying health issues and more. Read on for a complete timeline of Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber’s relationship. November 2009: The First Meet and Greet Backstage at the TODAY Show in NYC, a 14-year old Hailey Baldwin was introduced to Bieber in a brief encounter assisted by her father, actor Steve Baldwin. Revisit the meeting in this TODAY show clip. February 2011: First Red Carpet Together Image Credit: Richard Corkery/NY Daily News Archives via Getty Images The two made their first red-carpet appearance together at the premiere of Bieber’s biopic, Never Say Never, when Hailey and dad Stephen attended the event. November 2014: Bieber’s Instagram Post Following Bieber and Selena Gomez’s very public separation in 2014, Baldwin stepped into the picture and began spending more time with the “Baby” heartthrob. This is when the relationship rumors began to swirl. Justin captioned the photo “NYC with the clown posse.” https://www.instagram.com/p/wADVfIgvhA December 2014: Putting the Rumors to Rest Baldwin spoke with E! News at the premiere of Exodus and denied the dating rumors. “I’ve known him since I was young, and we’ve been good friends over the years,” she shared. “We’ve stayed close and there’s nothing more than that.” Just a few days after the interview, Bieber posted a photo of the two in the backseat of a car, continuing to deny the rumors. “People are crazy. I’m super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise,” he captioned the black-and-white photo. https://www.instagram.com/p/wpI-CSgvlD 2014: Spending New Year’s Together The two rang in the new year together, as confirmed by Bieber in yet another Instagram post.  https://www.instagram.com/p/xSGoAtgvqS April 2015: Prom Crashers Baldwin and Bieber crashed the Chatsworth Charter High School prom in California. Hailey shared a picture of her on the dance floor in a tweet that has since been deleted. The pop star tweeted the school’s account the next day saying, “always wanted to go to prom. Thanks for having me. #promcrasher.” June 2015: Miami Vacation October 2015: Beverly Hills Stroll December 2015: Hailey Joins the Bieber Family Vacation During a tropical getaway, Bieber traveled with his dad and two younger siblings Jaxon and Jazmyn. Hailey joined the trip as well, as seen in Justin’s post below.  https://www.instagram.com/p/_4zTmNAvm5 Also on the trip, the two celebrated New Year’s while vacationing, with Bieber posting this photo to seemingly confirm the highly speculated relationship.  https://www.instagram.com/p/BAGLktogvj2 February 2016: GQ Cover Story Bieber confirmed his relationship with to GQ magazine, saying, “She’s someone I really love. We spend a lot of time together.” Finally! Baldwin Speaks While on the red carpet at the 2016 amfAR New York Gala, Baldwin was questioned by E! News about the relationship. She stayed mostly quiet, but did say, “We are not an exclusive couple. He’s about to go on tour.” She added, “Relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don’t really like to talk about it because it’s between me and him.” May 2018: Hailey Speaks Out Image Credit: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) Nearly two years since being spotted together, Baldwin opened up about their complicated relationship to The Times UK. This interview came after news that Bieber and Selena Gomez had called it quits after a re-blossomed romance in earlier in 2018. Baldwin said, “Justin and I were friends for a long time. We went through a long period of time where we weren’t friends. We didn’t speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on. We’ve moved past that.” This came at the same time Baldwin attended the Met Gala with Shawn Mendes, who was her rumored boyfriend at the time. Baldwin later confirmed that there was nothing between herself and Mendes, and that they were just friends. June 2018: It All Happens in Miami The two are seen dancing and hanging out at popular Miami night club, LIV. The duo had their arms around each other, as seen in the video below. June 2018: New York City Trip The two flew from Miami to New York City, and were spotted by paparazzi and fans walking around Brooklyn. Bieber stopped to take pictures with and greet some fans. Then, on June 16, the two took a walk down by the water in Brooklyn, overlooking the Manhattan skyline. They kissed

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” tops the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a 12th week. In November, the song debuted as the stars’ second leader on each list. Plus, Bad Bunny charts five Global Excl. U.S. top 10s, all from his new LP, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which ascends to No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 albums chart. (The set reigns following its first full tracking week of activity, Jan. 10-16; it was released Jan. 5.) With three new top 10s, he pushes his total to a record-breaking 23 since the survey began in September 2020. The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States. Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations. “APT.” tops Global Excl. U.S. with 119.6 million streams (essentially even week-over-week) and 11,000 sold (up 5%) outside the U.S. Jan. 10-16. The only songs that have led the list longer are Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (14 weeks, since 2020) and Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (13 weeks, 2023) and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (13 weeks, 2022). Bad Bunny boasts five songs in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10: “DtMF” (9-2), “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” (12-4), “NUEVAYoL” (10-5), “VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR” (15-8) and “VeLDÁ” (21-10). With three new Global Excl. U.S. top 10 hits, Bad Bunny ups his total to 23 top 10s – breaking out of a tie with Taylor Swift (20) for the most since the chart began. Elsewhere in the Global Excl.

Bad Bunny’s “DtMF” blasts to No. 1, from No. 12, on the Billboard Global 200 chart. The song becomes the superstar’s fifth leader on the list, tying Taylor Swift for the second-most, and the most among soloists, since the survey began in September 2020. BTS leads all acts with seven No. 1s. Bad Bunny scores five simultaneous Global 200 top 10s, all from his new LP, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which ascends to No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 albums chart. The set reigns following its first full tracking week of activity (Jan. 10-16; it was released Jan. 5). The Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States. Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations. “DtMF” rules the Global 200 with 130.5 million streams and 3,000 sold worldwide Jan. 10-16. Bad Bunny previously hit No. 1 with “Monaco,” for a week upon its debut in October 2023; “Where She Goes” (in its debut week in June 2023); “Un x100to,” with Grupo Frontera (two weeks, May 2023); and “Dakiti,” with Jhay Cortez (now Jhayco; three, November-December 2020). Bad Bunny also infuses the Global 200’s top 10 with “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” (10-4), “NUEVAYoL” (9-5), “VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR” (14-8) and “VeLDÁ” (22-9). With three new top 10 hits, he swells his count to 24 top 10s since the chart began. Only Drake (35) and Swift (33) have more. Also in the Global 200’s top five, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” descends to No. 2, following 11 weeks at No. 1 beginning upon its debut in November, and Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” dips 2-3, following eight weeks at No. 1 beginning in September.
