    Roddy Rich's 'The Box' Extends Its Hot 100 Domination for An Eighth Week

    Settling on the second slot is Drake and Future’s ‘Life is Good’, while BTS score their highest-peaking hit on the Billboard chart with ‘ON’ debuting at number four.
    Mar 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Roddy Ricch has posted an eighth week at the top of America’s Hot 100 with “The Box”, keeping Drake and Future’s “Life is Good” pegged at two.
    The two rap hits have dominated the Billboard countdown for the past seven weeks, with Drake and Future’s new track becoming the first to spend that amount of time at two.
    Post Malone’s “Circles” makes it a rap one-two-three, while BTS (Bangtan Boys) score their highest-peaking Hot 100 hit as “ON” debuts at four, a day after the K-pop boy band took “Map of the Soul: 7” to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart, and Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” completes the top five.

    Megan Thee Stallion Prevents Record Label From Blocking Her New Music

    Instagram

    The ‘Hot Girl Summer’ has been granted a temporary restraining order against 1501 Certified Entertainment after filing suit against label boss Carl Crawford and his associates.
    Mar 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion has won a big battle in her legal spat with record label bosses. A judge has ruled she can release new music this week without their interference.
    The hip-hop star filed suit against 1501 Certified Entertainment boss Carl Crawford and his associates on Monday (March 02), claiming they were blocking her from releasing new music, because she wants to renegotiate a contract she signed when she was 20.
    A district judge in Harris County, Texas has granted the “Hot Girl Summer” hitmaker a temporary restraining order preventing label bosses from blocking the music she plans to release on Friday (March 06), according to TMZ.
    During an Instagram Live video on Sunday, Megan said, “When I signed, I didn’t really know what was in my contract. I was young… So when I got with Roc Nation, I got management, real management. I got real lawyers, and they were like, ‘Do you know that this is in your contract?’ And I was like, ‘Oh damn, that’s crazy, no I didn’t know.’ ”
    The “All Dat” hitmaker didn’t specify which terms she objected to, but explained she wanted to adjust the contract to remove the clauses, which ultimately seemed to sour her relationship with the label.
    “As soon as I said I wanna renegotiate my contract, everything went left. It just went all bad,” she added. “So now they’re telling a b***h she can’t drop no music (sic). It’s really just, like, a greedy game.”

    Megan made it clear she doesn’t want to leave the label – she just wants a fairer contract.

    Demi Lovato 'Couldn't Keep the Secret' of New Single 'I Love Me' Any Longer

    The ‘Give Your Heart a Break’ songstress takes to her Instagram page to reveal the release date of her new song, saying that it will be unveiled this week on Friday, February 6.
    Mar 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Demi Lovato’s new single is on its way. A little over one month after releasing her emotional ballad “Anyone”, the “Give Your Heart a Break” songstress spilled that her “secret” song titled “I Love Me” would be made available sooner rather than later.
    Taking to her Instagram account, the 27-year-old singer revealed that her new music would drop on Friday, February 6. Along with what seemed to be the artwork of the single, she shared with her followers, “Couldn’t keep it a secret any longer!!! My new single #ILoveMe is out on Friday.”
    The Instagram post itself saw the “Skyscraper” singer donning a red leather trench coat while standing on the street. Offering a soft smile, she threw her head back and closed her eyes.

    Demi’s announcement has excited fans and celebrities alike. Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez exclaimed, “Yesssss!! can’t wait girl,” while “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum Brooke Lynn Hytes reacted by writing, “That’s so weird because I also LOVE YOU! (And me).” Demi’s mother Dianna De La Garza, on the other hand, warned, “The world’s not ready for this song…”
    “I Love Me” might be the body positivity song Demi recently talked about. Back in February, she shared on Ashley Graham’s “Pretty Big Deal” podcast, “I was in the studio and I was working with one of my favorite producers. We were writing and we were making this song, it was like an anthem about body positivity.”

    Demi made a comeback to the music world at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in late January, nearly two years after suffering a drug overdose in 2018. The “Heart Attack” singer, at the time, delivered an emotional performance of “Anyone” which has since debuted at No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 and given her a No. 1 debut on the Digital Song Sales chart. Days later, she sang a rendition of “Star Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl LIV.

    Instagram

    ‘When to Say When’ finds the ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker making reference to Sophie Brussaux, the mother of his son, while ‘Chicago Freestyle’ sees him reflecting on life on the road.
    Mar 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Drake thrilled fans over the weekend (February 29-March 01) by dropping an extended music video featuring two new tracks.
    The hitmaker released “When to Say When” and “Chicago Freestyle” in one video late on Saturday (February 29) night, featuring footage from Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects and Manhattan’s Diamond district in New York, and Drake’s hometown Toronto, Canada.
    “When to Say When” sees the star reference the mother of his son Adonis, French artist Sophie Brussaux, by saying, “Baby mama fluke, but I love her for who she is.”
    He also refers to his impressive success on the U.S. Billboard charts, adding, “Five hundred weeks, I fill the charts with my pain.”
    Meanwhile, “Chicago Freestyle”, which features British singer Sampha, sees the star, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, reflect on life on the road and how difficult it is to connect with his girlfriends in Chicago.

    The release is Drake’s second of 2020, after he dropped a pair of tracks with Future, “Life Is Good” and “Desires”, back in January. The new release halts rumors the pair are working on collaborative follow-up to their 2015 mixtape, “What a Time to Be Alive”.

    Recording Academy Seeks New Grammys CEO After Officially Firing Deborah Dugan

    WENN/Instar

    Officials at the Recording Academy’s Board of Trustees confirm that Dugan has been terminated from her role after weighing all of the evidence from two independent investigations.
    Mar 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Grammy bosses have officially fired Recording Academy president and CEO Deborah Dugan, who has been on administrative leave since January.
    Her potential departure overshadowed the 2020 Grammy Awards, and now officials at the Recording Academy’s Board of Trustees have confirmed she’s no longer part of the organisation in a letter to members.
    The statement explains the trustees voted to terminate her employment after two “exhaustive” and “independent” investigations into allegations made against Dugan and by her.
    She was accused of misconduct, while alleging sexual harassment and “egregious conflicts of interest, improper self-dealing by Board members, and voting irregularities with respect to nominations for Grammy Awards,” calling the Recording Academy a “boys’ club.” All the claims were denied by both parties.
    In the trustees’ letter to members, Recording Academy chairman and interim CEO Harvey Mason, Jr. writes, “After weighing all of the evidence from two independent investigations, the Board of Trustees of the Recording Academy voted to terminate Ms. Dugan from her role as President/CEO.”
    He confirmed there is a search underway for Dugan’s successor, adding, “We will look carefully to see where the last one led us astray and make any necessary changes going forward.”

    Mar 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Halsey will not be touring again “for a very long time” after she finishes her current “Manic” world trek.
    The “Bad at Love” hitmaker, 25, is on the road in Europe, and is set to head to Asia and her native U.S. before her tour comes to a close in August (2020).

    “I think 2020 will mark the end of me touring for a very long time,” she wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “Thank you for making the memories so special. I am cherishing every single night.”

    The singer recently told The Guardian newspaper that she’s hopeful she’ll be able to start a family after suffering from three miscarriages, including one on stage, due to her battle with endometriosis.
    She said motherhood is, “looking like something that’s gonna happen for me,” adding, “That’s a miracle.”

    Flavor Flav Ousted From Public Enemy After Row Over Bernie Sanders Support

    The hip hop group make public their decision to move forward without their rapper bandmate just hours after Chuck D threatens to give him ‘a year to get his act together.’
    Mar 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Public Enemy has fired rapper Flavor Flav after more than 35 years with the band, following a row surrounding their support for U.S. presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.
    Things kicked off when Flav sent a cease-and-desist notice to Sanders, telling him to stop using Public Enemy’s name and his likeness in campaign propaganda, after the group’s co-founder Chuck D signed up to perform with offshoot band Public Enemy Radio at a Los Angeles rally for Sanders on Sunday, March 01.
    However, many media reports and posters promoting the event simply noted the appearance of Public Enemy – leading Flav to employ his lawyers to issue a legal warning.
    Chuck then hit back at his original bandmate, with his attorney insisting he “could perform as Public Enemy if he ever wanted to” because “he is the sole owner of the Public Enemy trademark”, and later clarified on Twitter that his issues with Flav’s stance don’t stem from their political beliefs.
    While Chuck had originally threatened to give Flav “a year to get his act together and get himself straight or he’s out”, it seems things quickly escalated in the following hours, with a brief statement issued on Sunday confirming the group would be “moving forward” without the rapper.
    “Public Enemy and Public Enemy Radio will be moving forward without Flavor Flav,” the statement read. “We thank him for his years of service and wish him well.”

    Flav has yet to respond to the unceremonious firing on his social media pages.
