Ariana Grande created a lot of buzz for her new album Eternal Sunshine, and she’s now enjoying the fruits of her labor. Her latest LP found enormous success on the Billboard 200 chart, while its latest single “We Can’t Be Friends” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Eternal Sunshine hit No. 1 with 227,000 equivalent album units upon its release on March 8, including 77,000 in pure sales alone. It continued Grande’s almost-perfect Billboard 200 streak, becoming her sixth out of seven albums to top this chart.

Its release was accompanied by the second single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, which became Grande’s ninth single to top the Hot 100. It soared to No. 1 with 32.6 million streams, 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 9,000 in sales.

“We Can’t Be Friends” set several major milestones on its way to No. 1. It helped Grande become the female artist with the most No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100 chart, breaking the record previously held by Taylor Swift.

“We Can’t Be Friends” is the second single from Eternal Sunshine to debut at No. 1, following “Yes, And?” They mimic the success of “Thank U, Next” and “7 Rings” from Thank U, Next, transforming Grande into the first female artist with multiple No. 1 debuts from two albums.

Dua Lipa has been dropping hints about her third studio album for quite some time, and she finally shared the final piece of the puzzle. The Grammy winner announced that her next album is hitting the shelves this May, and it will be called Radical Optimism.

Lipa has been teasing her next era for a few months, and it was just a matter of time before she officially announced its release. That moment is finally here, and her third studio album Radical Optimism is coming out on May 3 via Warner Records.

In addition to sharing its title and release date, Lipa also posted the album cover which shows her in the middle of an ocean, just feet away from a terrifying shark. She opted for the title Radical Optimism because this concept resonated with her after she learned about it from a friend a few years ago.

“It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me,” she explained in a statement.

Lipa also shared a full tracklist of her new album featuring 11 songs, including previously released singles “Houdini” and “Training Season”.

Country music is experiencing a true boom right now, and Beyoncé is gearing up to embrace this genre on her next album. The release date of her upcoming record is just two weeks away, and we finally know it will be called Act II: Cowboy Carter.

After exploring the Black roots of the house and disco music on Renaissance, Beyoncé is ready to embrace the same approach on its follow-up album. She’ll tackle country this time around, after becoming aware that “the Black, brown and Native cowboy stories are missing in American history”, per an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

Beyoncé announced the title of her next album by sharing an image of a saddle with metallic embellishments, covered with a red, white, and blue sash with the words “Cowboy Carter” written in the middle. This photo isn’t the official album cover, but it symbolizes the transition from Beyoncé’s Renaissance era since its cover showed her riding a horse with a blingy saddle.

Act II: Cowboy Carter is coming out on March 29, and Beyoncé already teased its release with two singles: “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages”. The first song created a lot of buzz for this album after hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts, making history as the first song by a Black female artist to top the latter chart.

The halftime show has always been one of the most exciting parts of the Super Bowl, and this year’s performance was worth waiting for. Usher was on top of his game on Sunday night, and he brought out several special guests, including Alicia Keys and Ludacris.

Usher opened the show with “My Way”, but quickly switched to “Caught Up” and “U Don’t Have to Call” before bringing out the reinforcement. Alicia Keys was the first to join him, and their renditions of “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo” set the stage for the rest of the show.

H.E.R. and will.i.am. were also by Usher’s side during one of the biggest moments of his career. Lil Jon and Ludacris joined him in the final moments, and helped him seal the deal with the final song “Yeah!”

Usher and his guests weren’t the only music stars at this year’s Super Bowl. Reba McEntire performed the national anthem, while Post Malone delivered a powerful rendition of “America the Beautiful”. Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, and Lana Del Rey were some of many celebrities in attendance.

Super Bowl LVIII took place on February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, and resulted in the Kansas City Chiefs’ second consecutive Super Bowl win.

Ariana Grande made an epic comeback with “Yes, And?” and easily danced back to No. 1 with this catchy bop. Grande’s latest single debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 ahead of the release of her album Eternal Sunshine, becoming her eighth song to top the chart.

“Yes, And?” hit the shelves on January 12 and attracted 27.2 million streams, 24.8 million radio airplay audience impressions, plus 53,000 in sales (including 41,000 digital downloads) during its debut week on the chart. It also topped the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts with its impressive first-week numbers.

“Yes, And?” marks Grande’s eighth No. 1 single, in addition to being her sixth No. 1 debut, tying her with Taylor Swift as the female solo artist with most chart-topping debuts. She’s overwhelmed by its overnight success and took a moment to thank her fans for making it happen.

“It is overwhelming and so sincerely moving to see how many of you this song has resonated with and it is such a gift to feel so seen and held by you! Thank you for your positivity, for your support, and for everything. you have no idea how much you mean to me!” wrote Grande on Instagram.

“Yes, And?” will be featured on Grande’s seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine, scheduled to be released on March 8 via Republic Records.

2023 has truly been a record-breaking year for Taylor Swift, and it’s only fitting for her to finish it on top! The final Billboard 200 chart of 2023 is in, and the Grammy-winning singer soared back to the top with her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) to finish the year at No. 1.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) returned to No. 1 for the fourth non-consecutive week with 136,000 equivalent album units earned. It’s the re-recording of Swift’s seminal album 1989, and she promoted its release with a new single “Is It Over Now?”, which soared to No. 1 after fans gave it a major push.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) dethroned Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 to spend the last week of the year at No. 1. It’s not Swift’s only former No. 1 to make it to the top ten on the Billboard 200 chart this week, since it was joined by Midnights at No. 3 and Lover at No. 7.

This marks the 67th week Swift spent atop the Billboard 200 across all 13 of her chart-topping releases, and this number is quite historic. She’s just one week away from becoming a soloist with most weeks at No. 1, after equaling Elvis Presley. The all-time record will be much harder to achieve, and it’s held by The Beatles with 132 weeks atop the US Billboard 200 chart.

The Billboard Music Awards unveiled the list of winners for this year, and they’ve been pretty easy to predict. After dominating the Billboard charts throughout 2023, Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift emerged as the top winners at this year’s ceremony.

The country singer Morgan Wallen led the way after picking up awards in 11 categories, starting with the top male artist. He also dominated the two main album and song fields: the top Billboard 200 album with One Thing at the Time and the top Hot 100 song with “Last Night”.

Despite Wallen’s best efforts, Swift managed to walk away with the shiniest trophy of the night – the top artist. She came out victorious in a total of 10 categories and tuned in via pre-recorded video message to thank her fans, saying she feels like the luckiest person in the world to have them in her corner.

Swift brought her career total to 39 Billboard Music Awards at this year’s ceremony, but she wasn’t the only artist to do so. Drake walked away with five awards and tied Swift’s record for most BBMAs won by a single artist.

The 2023 Billboard Music Awards took place on November 19, and the list of major winners also included SZA and Zach Bryan with four awards, followed by 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, and Miley Cyrus each with three wins.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards are one of the spring’s most anticipated award shows, and they lived up to the hype on Monday night. This year’s ceremony has given us an impressive list of winners, led by Taylor Swift and SZA, who won the song of the year award with “Kill Bill”.

History repeated itself at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards after Swift came into the night as the most-nominated artist and took six trophies home. She was named the artist of the year this time around, beating the likes of Miley Cyrus, SZA, and Olivia Rodrigo.

Swift was also chosen as the pop artist of the year and came out victorious in four more categories – best lyrics for “Is It Over Now?”, TikTok bop of the year for “Cruel Summer”, tour of the year, and favorite tour style for The Eras Tour.

SZA was right behind with four wins, and her smash hit “Kill Bill” defeated tough competition in Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” to be named the song of the year. She was also named the R&B artist of the year, in addition to winning R&B album of the year for SOS and R&B song of the year for “Snooze”.

Ariana Grande created a lot of buzz for her new album Eternal Sunshine, and she’s now enjoying the fruits of her labor. Her latest LP found enormous success on the Billboard 200 chart, while its latest single “We Can’t Be Friends” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Eternal Sunshine hit No. 1 with 227,000 equivalent album units upon its release on March 8, including 77,000 in pure sales alone. It continued Grande’s almost-perfect Billboard 200 streak, becoming her sixth out of seven albums to top this chart.

Its release was accompanied by the second single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, which became Grande’s ninth single to top the Hot 100. It soared to No. 1 with 32.6 million streams, 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 9,000 in sales.

“We Can’t Be Friends” set several major milestones on its way to No. 1. It helped Grande become the female artist with the most No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100 chart, breaking the record previously held by Taylor Swift.

“We Can’t Be Friends” is the second single from Eternal Sunshine to debut at No. 1, following “Yes, And?” They mimic the success of “Thank U, Next” and “7 Rings” from Thank U, Next, transforming Grande into the first female artist with multiple No. 1 debuts from two albums.

Dua Lipa has been dropping hints about her third studio album for quite some time, and she finally shared the final piece of the puzzle. The Grammy winner announced that her next album is hitting the shelves this May, and it will be called Radical Optimism.

Lipa has been teasing her next era for a few months, and it was just a matter of time before she officially announced its release. That moment is finally here, and her third studio album Radical Optimism is coming out on May 3 via Warner Records.

In addition to sharing its title and release date, Lipa also posted the album cover which shows her in the middle of an ocean, just feet away from a terrifying shark. She opted for the title Radical Optimism because this concept resonated with her after she learned about it from a friend a few years ago.

“It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me,” she explained in a statement.

Lipa also shared a full tracklist of her new album featuring 11 songs, including previously released singles “Houdini” and “Training Season”.

Country music is experiencing a true boom right now, and Beyoncé is gearing up to embrace this genre on her next album. The release date of her upcoming record is just two weeks away, and we finally know it will be called Act II: Cowboy Carter.

After exploring the Black roots of the house and disco music on Renaissance, Beyoncé is ready to embrace the same approach on its follow-up album. She’ll tackle country this time around, after becoming aware that “the Black, brown and Native cowboy stories are missing in American history”, per an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

Beyoncé announced the title of her next album by sharing an image of a saddle with metallic embellishments, covered with a red, white, and blue sash with the words “Cowboy Carter” written in the middle. This photo isn’t the official album cover, but it symbolizes the transition from Beyoncé’s Renaissance era since its cover showed her riding a horse with a blingy saddle.

Act II: Cowboy Carter is coming out on March 29, and Beyoncé already teased its release with two singles: “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages”. The first song created a lot of buzz for this album after hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts, making history as the first song by a Black female artist to top the latter chart.

The halftime show has always been one of the most exciting parts of the Super Bowl, and this year’s performance was worth waiting for. Usher was on top of his game on Sunday night, and he brought out several special guests, including Alicia Keys and Ludacris.

Usher opened the show with “My Way”, but quickly switched to “Caught Up” and “U Don’t Have to Call” before bringing out the reinforcement. Alicia Keys was the first to join him, and their renditions of “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo” set the stage for the rest of the show.

H.E.R. and will.i.am. were also by Usher’s side during one of the biggest moments of his career. Lil Jon and Ludacris joined him in the final moments, and helped him seal the deal with the final song “Yeah!”

Usher and his guests weren’t the only music stars at this year’s Super Bowl. Reba McEntire performed the national anthem, while Post Malone delivered a powerful rendition of “America the Beautiful”. Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, and Lana Del Rey were some of many celebrities in attendance.

Super Bowl LVIII took place on February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, and resulted in the Kansas City Chiefs’ second consecutive Super Bowl win.

Ariana Grande made an epic comeback with “Yes, And?” and easily danced back to No. 1 with this catchy bop. Grande’s latest single debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 ahead of the release of her album Eternal Sunshine, becoming her eighth song to top the chart.

“Yes, And?” hit the shelves on January 12 and attracted 27.2 million streams, 24.8 million radio airplay audience impressions, plus 53,000 in sales (including 41,000 digital downloads) during its debut week on the chart. It also topped the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts with its impressive first-week numbers.

“Yes, And?” marks Grande’s eighth No. 1 single, in addition to being her sixth No. 1 debut, tying her with Taylor Swift as the female solo artist with most chart-topping debuts. She’s overwhelmed by its overnight success and took a moment to thank her fans for making it happen.

“It is overwhelming and so sincerely moving to see how many of you this song has resonated with and it is such a gift to feel so seen and held by you! Thank you for your positivity, for your support, and for everything. you have no idea how much you mean to me!” wrote Grande on Instagram.

“Yes, And?” will be featured on Grande’s seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine, scheduled to be released on March 8 via Republic Records.

2023 has truly been a record-breaking year for Taylor Swift, and it’s only fitting for her to finish it on top! The final Billboard 200 chart of 2023 is in, and the Grammy-winning singer soared back to the top with her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) to finish the year at No. 1.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) returned to No. 1 for the fourth non-consecutive week with 136,000 equivalent album units earned. It’s the re-recording of Swift’s seminal album 1989, and she promoted its release with a new single “Is It Over Now?”, which soared to No. 1 after fans gave it a major push.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) dethroned Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 to spend the last week of the year at No. 1. It’s not Swift’s only former No. 1 to make it to the top ten on the Billboard 200 chart this week, since it was joined by Midnights at No. 3 and Lover at No. 7.

This marks the 67th week Swift spent atop the Billboard 200 across all 13 of her chart-topping releases, and this number is quite historic. She’s just one week away from becoming a soloist with most weeks at No. 1, after equaling Elvis Presley. The all-time record will be much harder to achieve, and it’s held by The Beatles with 132 weeks atop the US Billboard 200 chart.

The Billboard Music Awards unveiled the list of winners for this year, and they’ve been pretty easy to predict. After dominating the Billboard charts throughout 2023, Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift emerged as the top winners at this year’s ceremony.

The country singer Morgan Wallen led the way after picking up awards in 11 categories, starting with the top male artist. He also dominated the two main album and song fields: the top Billboard 200 album with One Thing at the Time and the top Hot 100 song with “Last Night”.

Despite Wallen’s best efforts, Swift managed to walk away with the shiniest trophy of the night – the top artist. She came out victorious in a total of 10 categories and tuned in via pre-recorded video message to thank her fans, saying she feels like the luckiest person in the world to have them in her corner.

Swift brought her career total to 39 Billboard Music Awards at this year’s ceremony, but she wasn’t the only artist to do so. Drake walked away with five awards and tied Swift’s record for most BBMAs won by a single artist.

The 2023 Billboard Music Awards took place on November 19, and the list of major winners also included SZA and Zach Bryan with four awards, followed by 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, and Miley Cyrus each with three wins.
