Bad Bunny’s Historic Residency Stream Breaks Amazon Music Record

by jummy84 September 22, 2025

written by jummy84

Bad Bunny closed out his historic 31-night residency at San Juan’s El Choli on Sunday with a massive finale show that the whole world could watch online. The Puerto Rican superstar brought out Marc Anthony for an emotional duet, partied with Jowell & Randy, and paid tribute to the island’s rich history during a nearly four-hour show.

On Monday, Amazon Music revealed that the livestream for the concert — titled “Una Más,” which aired on the music streaming service, Prime Video, and Twitch — shattered viewership records for a single-artist performance.

While exact numbers have not yet been released, the show was the most-watched single-artist performance on Amazon Music to date, according to the platform.

“I have always had the same passion, love for what I’m doing. I promise I will never change. I love you, Puerto Rico. I love you, mom and dad,” Bad Bunny said onstage during an emotional speech at the end of the show. “It doesn’t matter what your issue or problem is, love will always be the solution.”

The livestream was just the start of Bad Bunny’s multi-year partnership with Amazon, which will work with his Good Bunny Foundation to help the island develop in several sectors, including education, technology, agricultural support, and economic development.

“By combining music, Amazon technologies, commerce, and community programs at scale, we’re engaging global audiences to this historic moment while strengthening Puerto Rican communities,” Rocío Guerrero, an Amazon Music executive, said. Fans can continue watching for 24 hours following the show’s conclusion as well.

Like most of the shows during the residency run, Bad Bunny packed the show with guests: He brought out Ñengo Flow and Jowell y Randy for “Safaera,” and both Dei V and RaiNao for a pair of duets. Arcángel and De La Ghetto jumped in at the end of the set to exchange rap verses for “Acho PR” from Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.

To conclude the performance, Bad Bunny played a song that serves as a sort of national anthem for La Isla del Encanto: He brought out icon Marc Anthony for a heartfelt duet of “Preciosa” as the Puerto Rican flag displayed on the ceiling of El Choli. The song, originally written by composer Rafael Hernández Marín in 1937, is a love letter to Puerto Rico.

Demon Slayer Sets Box Office Record as Him, Big Bold Beautiful Journey Flop Overseas

by jummy84 September 21, 2025

written by jummy84

Two new Hollywood releases, Universal’s sports thriller “Him” and Sony’s romantic drama “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” were outright rejected by overseas audiences.

“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell as strangers whose meet-cute takes them on the journey of a lifetime, flopped at the international box office with $4.5 million from 45 markets. Meanwhile the Jordan Peele-produced “Him,” a disturbing mind-bender about a football player with aspirations to be the greatest of all time, fumbled even harder with $400,000 from 25 territories. Both films were saddled with terrible reviews and disappointing audience scores.

“Him” at least started stronger at the domestic box office with $13.5 million, boosting the film’s global tally to $13.86 million. It carries a modest $27 million production budget. Justin Tipping directed “Him,” which stars Marlon Wayans as an aging quarterback who trains a young up-and coming football player (Tyriq Withers) to chilling consequences.

“Sports themes do not travel well overseas, and the sport in this film — American football — is uniquely American in its popularity,” says analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. “But the picture cost a reasonable $27 million to make, so it can cover its costs on domestic business alone.”

“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” however, crumbled in its North America debut as well with $3.5 million for a worldwide haul of $8 million. The film has yet to release in major markets like France, Italy and South Korea.

“The film should do better in foreign markets, but the production cost was high — that’s a big number to recoup,” Gross adds of “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.”

Luckily Sony is riding high with “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” which just became the highest-grossing anime film ever with $555 million globally. The film is backed by Sony-owned Crunchyroll in North America, the United Kingdom and Brazil, as well as Toho and Aniplex in Japan and other Asian markets. “Demon Slayer” topped overseas charts again with $36 million from markets where Sony’s Crunchyroll is handling the rollout. So far the film has earned a total of $451 million internationally and $104 million domestically. “Infinity Castle” is the first in planned three-film series about a boy who becomes a demon slayer to avenge his family and find a cure for his sister who was turned into a demon.

Universal, meanwhile, had slightly better luck overseas with “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale,” which added $8.3 million from 35 markets in its second weekend of release. The film, a continuation of the popular TV show, has generated $27.9 million overseas and $31.6 million domestically to date, bringing its global total to $59.5 million. The studio says those ticket sales are above 2022’s “Downton Abbey: A New Era” at the same point in its predecessor’s theatrical run. Neither film could reach the box office heights of the first cinematic feature, 2019’s “Downton Abbey,” which became a huge hit to the tune of $194.6 million globally.

Kehlani Slams A.I. Artist Xania Monet’s $3 Million Record Deal

by jummy84 September 20, 2025

written by jummy84

Kehlani is pushing back against artificial intelligence taking over music after Xania Monet, a virtual artist, inked a $3,000,000 deal with Hallwood Media and already landed spots on the Billboard charts.

According to Billboard Pro, poet Telisha Jones is the creative force behind the A.I.-powered sensation. To bring Xania to life, Jones leaned on Suno technology, the same platform currently tied up in copyright battles with major record companies. When Jones took a Zoom meeting with record executives earlier this month, she landed on the 3 mil deal from former Interscope executive Neil Jacobson’s Hallwood Media.

“She’s been writing poetry for a long time,” Jones’ manager, Romel Murphy, told Billboard. “90 percent of her lyrics are her own true stories, and the other 10 percent are inspired by the stories of her friends and community. What’s making the songs catch is not a hook and a bridge and a catchy chant, it’s just the lyrics, and they are pure.”

Kehlani, however, isn’t buying into the hype. The Grammy-nominated singer argued that Jones’ poetry could’ve found its own lane without taking from rising musicians. “Maybe she should write a poetry book. I love to support a good poet. I cannot paint. So I’m not going to create A.I. paintings and sell them, taking up space from up-and-coming painters,” she said. “This is the antithesis of art. Just because you can don’t mean you should.”

Despite the controversy, Monet made her Billboard debut the week of Sept. 20, entering at No. 25 on Emerging Artists and No. 21 on Hot Gospel Songs with “Let Go, Let God.” Another single, “How Was I Supposed to Know,” hit No. 1 on R&B Digital Song Sales, No. 3 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, and No. 22 on overall Digital Song Sales.

Kehlani, however, doubled down on her criticism in a social post. “This is so beyond out of our control. Nothing and no one on Earth will ever be able to justify A.I. to me,” she wrote. “I’m genuinely sad for people who are trying to come up and their space is being taken up by a computer program. I.T., not she, is taking all of the data it’s collected on us and what we want, and is tailoring to us. Even down to the voice.”

She closed with the reminder: “Art is not a money grab. Music means something significant to culture, to humanity, to people. Me personally, I’m going to value it that way for the rest of my life.”

Shakira Completes a Record 12 Dates at Mexico’s GNP Seguros Stadium

by jummy84 September 19, 2025

written by jummy84

Shakira wrapped up her historic series of 12 concerts at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City on Thursday (Sept. 18), marking the most shows from a single tour performed at the iconic venue formerly known as Foro Sol.

See latest videos, charts and news

The Colombian superstar made history by selling out the capital’s stadium 12 times during her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, drawing 65,000 people each night, according to figures from promoter OCESA, for a total of 780,000 tickets sold. The previous record at the stadium was held by Grupo Firme, with nine shows. Bad Bunny is set to perform eight nights in December as part of his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS tour.

“My last show in Mexico City. Truly, 12 concerts at GNP Stadium, not even in my wildest dreams,” a visibly emotional Shakira said during the show. “Thank you, because this wouldn’t have been possible without you. This has been a true gift that I will never forget.”

Shakira’s final night in the capital carried an air of nostalgia and farewell for both the artist and her audience, who passionately sang along to the nearly 30 songs in the setlist. “I want the whole world to know that Mexico is magical,” the Barranquilla native exclaimed at one point as a gesture of gratitude.

As she had announced days earlier on social media, Mexican singer Danna joined her again on stage for “Soltera” on Thursday, marking the second time the song was performed live during the tour. The track recently won the 2025 MTV Video Music Award for best Latin.

With the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour, Shakira has left her mark on Mexico City — not only because of the special bond she established with her local and international fans, but also for the cultural, social and economic impacts her show had. The singer-songwriter began the first Mexican stretch of the tour in March, with seven dates at the GNP Seguros Stadium. In a second leg, she added five more shows between August and September at the same venue.

Throughout her performances, Shakira welcomed special guests, including Grupo Frontera for a live rendition of “(Entre paréntesis)” on March 25, the aforementioned Danna for “Soltera” on Aug. 26 and Sept. 18, and Mexican star Belinda for “Día de Enero” on Aug. 30.

Shakira achieved another milestone in July by selling one million tickets in Mexico as part of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, according to OCESA, from a total of 28 dates she is close to completing. The Mexican leg of the tour will conclude on Sept. 24 at the Luis Pirata Fuente Stadium in Veracruz, marking the first time the singer will perform in that city.

Luther Vandross Smiled After Turning Down This Babyface Hit Record

by jummy84 September 9, 2025

written by jummy84

Babyface‘s hit 1996 ballad “Every Time I Close My Eyes” was almost part of Luther Vandross‘ catalog.

The crooner took to Instagram on Monday (Sept. 8) sharing a photo of “the exact moment Luther said no to singing ‘Every Time I Close My Eyes.’”

Babyface admitted, “[It was] probably the best rejection I ever got because it became one of my biggest records…. But I still wish he would have sung it!”

Fans were tickled at the thought of Vandross saying no with a huge grin on his face— which would be very fitting. In light of the fun fact, one fan requested, “I’d love for you to one day release all the demos of you singing hits you gave to other artists!”

Meanwhile, others agreed that “[‘Every Time I Close My Eyes’] had Luther written all over it!”

“Every Time I Close My Eyes” was written, produced, and performed by Face. Mariah Carey was the featured artist along with Kenny G, who played saxophone. It was the second single from his fourth studio album, The Day. The Grammy-nominated record peaked No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 5 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.

Years later, Babyface co-wrote “Grown Thangs” with Jon B for Vandross’ eponymous 2001 LP. Jon B produced the record and both men appeared on its backing vocals. That album was Vandross’ J Records label debut, but his 13th overall studio album. It also featured his hit modern-day single, “Take You Out.”

Cristobal Tapia de Veer won his fourth Primetime Emmy, all earned for his work on The White Lotus. He won this year for outstanding original main title theme music.

Theodore Shapiro won outstanding music composition for a series (original dramatic score) for the second time for his work on Severance.

Gabe Hilfer won outstanding music supervision for his work on The Studio. It’s his second win in that category for his work on a buzzy series. He won two years ago for The White Lotus.

The Creative Arts Emmys are being presented over two nights, Saturday, Sept. 6, and Sunday, Sept. 7. Highlights from the two ceremonies will air Saturday, Sept. 13, at 8 p.m. PT on FXX.

Darth Vader’s Lightsaber Sold for Record $3.6 Million at Auction

by jummy84 September 5, 2025

written by jummy84

The Force was certainly with the winning bidder of Darth Vader’s original lightsaber, which was sold for a whopping $3,654,000 during an auction at Propstore in Los Angeles on Thursday.

According to the auction house, the prop is the only hero lightsaber from the original Star Wars trilogy to hit a public auction. It was specifically used in 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back and 1983’s Return of the Jedi by Darth Vader actor David Prowse and stunt double Bob Anderson.

With the winning bid of $2.9 million and an additional buyer’s premium paid to Propstore, the Darth Vader lightsaber is now the highest-priced item from the Star Wars franchise ever sold at auction.

The King Of Action Is Back! Baaghi 4’s Advance Booking Surpasses Housefull 5’s Record | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 September 3, 2025

written by jummy84

The action-packed Baaghi series is back and Baaghi 4 is already flexing its box office muscle. Directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, this high-intensity actioner starring Tiger Shroff is registering a strong opening in advance bookings before its release in theatres on September 5, 2025.

Based on preliminary box office monitoring, the movie has already sold 26,500 tickets on Day 1 (September 2) at India’s major national multiplex chains PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. This figure ranks Baaghi 4 among Bollywood’s highest-performing films in early pre-release ticket sales for the year. Furthermore, BookMyShow reported 40,000 tickets sold for the movie on the same day, indicative of mass interest and expectation. These numbers comfortably outpace the advance booking figures of Housefull 5, a respectable benchmark for large-budget Hindi releases in 2025.

The pace merely intensified by Day 2, with early indications pointing towards a 30–40% increase in ticket sales at the same national chains. This increase is a clear testament to the growing buzz surrounding the film and its excellent connect with its action-crazy fanbase.
On revenue grounds, Baaghi 4 is off to a good start. According to Sacnilk, the movie earned around ₹1.32 crore through Day 1 advance booking (not counting blocked seats), while this figure went up to about ₹2.91 crore gross when block seats are added. There are other reports which put the gross at around ₹1.35 crore, further establishing its good pre-release pull.
Trade experts estimate that Baaghi 4 may collect a Day 1 net of ₹8–9 crore based on final occupancies and walk-in numbers. A weekend opening collection of ₹25 crore or more is easily possible if word-of-mouth and early reviews are good.
In short, with ticket sales exceeding 26,500 on Day 1, a 30–40% increase on Day 2, and advance bookings beating Housefull 5, Baaghi 4 is leading with the full amount. The film’s mix of high-octane stunts, glossy visuals, and Tiger Shroff’s action hero appeal seems to be striking a chord with audiences giving us a glimpse of what might turn out to be one of the actor’s greatest box office openings so far.

Sabrina Carpenter ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Sets Spotify Record: Reaction

by jummy84 September 2, 2025

written by jummy84

Sabrina Carpenter‘s new album Man’s Best Friend was one of the year’s most highly anticipated pop releases for months before it dropped — and now, it has the numbers on Spotify to prove it.

As announced by the streaming service Tuesday (Sept. 2), the 12-track LP has set a new 2025 record for most streams in a single day for an album by a female artist. On Instagram Stories, Carpenter reacted to the news by writing, “This blows my mind.”

“Can’t thank you enough for listening,” she added.

On X, Carpenter also reshared the announcement and wrote, “I can’t believe this … thank you so much for listening.”

The confirmation of the streaming feat comes just a few days after the Grammy winner released Man’s Best Friend, her seventh studio album, on Aug. 29. She first announced the project in June, shortly after dropping lead single “Manchild,” which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 — Carpenter’s second-ever No. 1 on the chart.

But as impressive as Carpenter’s new milestone is, it’s not difficult to ascertain why so many people would tune in once she dropped MBF. The Girl Meets World alum had set expectations quite high after breaking through to pop-superstar status in 2024 with the success of album Short n’ Sweet, which spawned hits such as “Espresso” — which, speaking of Spotify, was the platform’s most-streamed song last year — and Hot 100 No. 1 “Please Please Please.”

Even so, the performer didn’t let any pressure to top Short n’ Sweet get to her while making Man’s Best Friend with collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen. In a recent interview with Interview, Carpenter explained, “I was just like, ‘This is no different than when I was making the last album.’”

“Nobody told me I needed to put it out at any date,” she continued. “If I felt inspired, I would just write. You can write and it doesn’t have to be for anything.”

If her new Spotify metric is any indication, that mentality definitely paid off. See Carpenter’s post on X below.
