Thania Garcia TDE rapper ScHoolboy Q believes the opening night of his “Blue Lips Weekend” tour — a 18-date trek in support of his sixth studio LP — in Toronto was purposefully canceled due to his allegiance to Kendrick Lamar in his public battle with Drake. Schoolboy has been a part of TDE and Lamar’s camp for years, and naturally, he appeared in Lamar’s recent video for his widely popular Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” Not only that, Schoolboy also appeared as a special guest for Lamar’s Juneteenth concert — dubbed “The Pop Out” and headlined by “Ken & Friends.” The TDE rapper was scheduled to perform in Drake’s hometown in Toronto on July 18 with a sold-out concert at History, a 2553-capacity club that Drake helped design with global promoter Live Nation.

Bruce Springsteen was born to rock.But even a certified rock god like the Boss is rolling into country territory now: This week his “Sandpaper” duet with Zach Bryan marks the first time that Springsteen has ever appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart since the New Jersey legend first greeted us from Asbury Park, N.J. on his debut album way back in 1973.And not only does Springsteen hit No. 26 on the Hot Country Songs chart with his genre — and generation-crossing collaboration from Bryan’s new album, “The Great American Bar Scene,” but he scores his first appearance on the overall Hot 100 tally since 2009.Forty years after “Born in the USA,” the man has been revived at the ripe old age of 74.And the No.

Is Drake having the worst year of his life?? This latest catastrophe definitely seems to back that theory!

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ is the biggest album of the year so far in the US, while Benson Boone’s ‘Beautiful Things’ has been the most-streamed song.The album, which NME gave three stars, was only released on April 19, but earned 4.66 million equivalent album units in the first half of this year. It also became the first album by a woman to spend its first 12 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart.Equivalent album units comprise not only traditional album sales, but also track equivalent albums and streaming, with each unit equalling either one album sale, ten individual tracks sold from an album, 3,750 ad-supported on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album, or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official and audio streams generated by songs from an album.However, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ has also been the top-selling album by traditional album sales, with 2.47million sold.

The Director’s Label was a definitive document of the MTV era’s waning days. The series of DVDs celebrated music video directors who elevated the form and created a new mini-universe of aspiring auteurs: Spike Jonze, Jonathan Glazer, and Michel Gondry all went on to win Oscars, and underground sci-fi visionary Chris Cunningham helped usher Aphex Twin into popular consciousness with videos for “Come To Daddy” and “Windowlicker” before disappearing.

“When Doves Cry” to, of course, the epic title track, “Purple Rain.”And that was all a month before the release of the hit movie, which will be back in select theaters on July 3.It’s not only my favorite soundtrack of all time, but one of my top-five albums of all time. Period.And in honor of Purple Rain’s 40th anniversary, let’s throw it back to some of my other all-time favorite soundtracks:Let’s kick it off with the smash “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack, which had everybody twirling under that disco ball back in 1977.John Travolta may have been the star of the movie, but the Bees Gees were the stars of the soundtrack.Whenever “Stayin’ Alive” comes on — trust — disco is no longer dead.And it still makes you wanna bust into your best Tony Manero strut.Just like the Bee Gees were the masterminds behind the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack, Babyface was the man behind all the female feels on the 1995 “Waiting to Exhale” soundtrack …Face wrote and produced for a stellar cast of soul sisters … from Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige to Chaka Khan and Patti LaBelle to Toni Braxton and Brandy.I mean, it was a who’s who!And of course, there was Whitney Houston, who also starred in the film.

Camila Cabello opened up about her collaborator Drake and what he’s like amid his feud with Kendrick Lamar.

Thania Garcia There are many surprising elements to Camila Cabello‘s transitional fourth LP, “C,XOXO.” After dominating pop radio as a solo act with “Señorita” and “Havana,” Cabello’s new effort has her testing new territories that range from glitchy hyper-pop to trap-imbued club tracks. One of the most defining factors of the album has been its features: JT and Yung Miami (who have since called it quits as “the City Girls“) on “Dade County Dreaming”; PinkPantheress on “Pink xoxo”; Playboi Carti on the album’s lead single “I Luv It;” and Lil Nas X on the sultry “He Knows,” among others. Most striking of all are the pair of Drake features — “Hot Uptown” and “Uuugly” — that arrive in the throes of his loss to Kendrick Lamar.

Emily Eavis has defended Glastonbury’s line-up this year after criticism for a perceived lack of rock acts on the main stages.For 2024, dance-pop titan Dua Lipa, pop-rock staples Coldplay and US R&B star SZA are set to headline, with country-pop icon Shania Twain taking the legends slot. Among the other artists playing the main stages include Little Simz, Burna Boy, Disclosure, Jungle and The Streets.Some fans have complained about the lack of rock, but co-organiser Eavis – the daughter of Glasto founder Michael – has said that the main line-up simply reflects what’s going on in the music industry.“I think the line-up reflects what’s happening in the music world at the moment – there aren’t a lot of new rock acts to choose from if I’m honest,” she told PA.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music As this album’s cover artwork suggests — it appears to show a restaurant table with one man drinking tea and eating baked beans, and the other drinking syrup — a full-length collaboration album between British avant singer-songwriter James Blake and psychedelicized Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty might not have been on anyone’s prediction list for 2024. But even knowing both artists’ predilection for the unexpected, it’s a surprisingly symbiotic alliance.

Camila Cabello has commented on the recent wave of “frustrating” slander towards Drake.The former Fifth Harmony member spoke about allegations made against the Canadian rapper, who has been engaged in a public feud with Kendrick Lamar.The pair have recently exchanged blows in a series of disses, with Lamar claiming Drake is a “certified paedophile” and Drake taking shots at Lamar’s partner: “You the black messiah wifing up a mixed queen”.Now, Cabello has commented on the feud, having recently teamed up with Drake on her new album ‘C,XOXO’ where he features on two songs.She told The Times that Drake is “such a delight”, adding: “It’s so frustrating to see people talk about someone you know in a way that is negative.“You’re like, ‘Dang, if only you guys could just have dinner or something.’”The singer also opened up about how she snagged Drake as a collaborator, recalling that she slid into his DMs without expecting him to reply. “It’s like a weird teenage thing where I feel that nobody cares about me or likes me,” she continued.
