      Taylor Swift Becomes First Woman to Land 3 New No. 1s in Less Than a Year With 'Fearless' Success

      by

      ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’, a re-recorded version of the ‘Cardigan’ hitmaker’s 2008 album, has beaten DMX’s ‘The Best of DMX’ and Justin Bieber’s ‘Justice’ for the top slot of Billboard 200.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift has landed another TransAtlantic chart double after taking her reworked “Fearless” album to the top of the Billboard 200 in America.

      “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” debuted at number one in the U.K. on Friday, April 16, and now the project has topped the U.S. countdown with the biggest one-week sales of 2021 so far (291,000), making Swift the first woman to land three number one albums in less than a year.

      Additionally, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” helped Swift in securing her ninth No. 1 album. It placed her in tie with Madonna for the second-most No. 1 albums among women. The all-time record was still held by Barbra Streisand with 11 No. 1 albums.

      The original “Fearless” was Taylor’s first Billboard 200 number one back in 2008. The new version – her ninth number one – features re-recordings of all 13 songs on “Fearless”, six bonus songs added to a 2009 reissue of “Fearless”, and a collection of “from the vault” songs written for the original album that were never recorded.

      Late rapper DMX’s greatest hits compilation, “The Best of DMX”, rockets up the chart from 73 to two following his death on April 9.

      Justin Bieber’s “Justice” falls to three in its third week on the Billboard 200, while Morgan Wallen’s “Dangerous” stays put at four and Rod Wave’s “SoulFly” rounds out the top five.

      Artist of the Week: Polo G

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Die a Legend’ rapper is expected to make a high debut on the U.S. charts as his newest song ‘Rapstar’ has already made a wave on the streaming platforms.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Polo G continues to make a splash. After becoming a mainstay on the U.S. charts last year with his sophomore set “The Goat”, the 22-year-old lyricist is now on his way back to the charts as his latest release “Rapstar” is off to a bright start.

      The song propelled the rapper to No. 1 on both Apple Music and Spotify charts on the first day of release with over 2.7 million streams. It marked his first chart topper on Spotify. It also ruled the U.K. R&B chart while breaking into the top 3 in U.K. Singles.

      The rapper talked about relationship and the pros and cons of stardom in the new track which was recorded for his next studio installment “Hall of Fame”. “Uh, copped a BMW, new deposit, I picked up another bag,” so he bragged about his fortune.

      Besides dominating the chart with “Rapstar”, Polo G made a wave with “GNF (OKOKOK)” and his features with Rod Wave on “Richer” and Lil Tjay & Fivio Foreign on “Headshot”. He’s additionally featured on Pop Smoke’s “Fashion” from movie “Boogie”.

      He became one of the standouts among new bloods in the business following the release of his second album. It peaked at No. 2 on Billboard Hot 200, raked in more than 4 billion streams, earned him 7 Gold and Platinum RIAA certifications, and landed him in multiple year-end best albums lists.

      Despite his success, he always remembered not to forget his early struggles and humble beginnings. “I’ve been a signed artist, but it’s only been a full year-and-a-half. I’m still kind of new to money and this kind of lifestyle, so me being in a messed up predicament wasn’t too long ago,” he said in an interview with Billboard. “I know never to forget that and I know how easy you could lose everything you gain.”

      Dan + Shay Addresses Technical Issue at 2021 ACM Awards After Facing Lip-Sync Accusations

      by

      Instagram

      The Duo of the Year winner at the 56th annual Academy of Country Music Awards notes it ‘is no one’s fault’ that the audio didn’t sync with their lips during the television broadcast.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Dan + Shay has offered a clarification after they were accused of not singing live at the 56th annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Denying the lip-sync accusations, the country music duo blamed technical issue for the mismatch between the audio and their lips during the televised broadcast.

      Apparently learning of people’s complaints about their performance, Dan + Shay quickly took to their official Twitter account to address the issue. “apparently there was an audio/video sync issue on the television broadcast,” they wrote in a statement.

      They admitted they’re “bummed about it, but it happens, especially when performances are happening in multiple locations.” Not holding a grudge against the Academy of Country Music, they still sang praise for the show’s organizers “for pulling off a great show.”

      Dan + Shay addressed technical issue during their ACM Awards performance.

      Dan + Shay shared a longer statement on their Instagram page in which they wrote along with a clip of their performance, “hey y’all, just wanted to take a quick second to address this. there was a technical difficulty during the television broadcast of our @acmawards performance, and the audio/video was out of sync. it’s just one of those things that happens sometimes, especially with performances being filmed in different locations and is no one’s fault.”

        See also…

      “we were bummed when we found out, but honestly just grateful for the opportunity to be there,” the added, “gotta give major props to the @acmawards and everybody at @cbstv for putting together an AMAZING show, given the crazy circumstances of a global pandemic. thanks so much to our fans for the kind words and support on social media tonight, and for being patient with the whole situation. we love y’all and are so grateful for everything you have given us.”

      Dan + Shay was billed as one of the musical performers at the Sunday, April 18 ceremony. They delivered a smooth rendition of “Glad You Exist” from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, but fans couldn’t help noticing that the audio and their lips were not in sync during the performance.

      “Dan and shay was like me doing karaoke after three beers,” an unamused viewer tweeted. “Well we know Dan And Shay’s performance was prerecorded,” another suggested. “Either the stream on my tv is off or This is REALLY bad lip-syncing by Dan and Shay. Yikes!” a third one speculated, while another remarked, “Dan and Shay need to learn their lip-syncing skills better because that performance was way off.”

      The technical glitch during their performance aside, Dan + Shay still had another reason to be proud that night as they were awarded with Duo of the Year title, winning it over Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Florida Georgia Line and Maddie & Tae. It marks their third consecutive win in the category at ACM Awards.

      “to win duo of the year for the 3rd year in a row…truly speechless,” they said in the statement posted on their Instagram page. “hope y’all have a great night, and seriously, thank you. we’re the luckiest guys in the world.”

      Lil Durk's Fan Blames Phoenix Venue for Lack of 'Safety Measures' After Being Injured at Smurkchella

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Laugh Now Cry Later’ spitter, whose recent concert ended abruptly after supposed gunfire was heard, takes to social media to speak up about the incident.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      One of Lil Durk’s fans could not hide her disappointment after being injured at his recent concert. Tahjee Gray, who suffered a bloody leg injury during an abrupt end of Smurkchella, blamed Phoenix’s Celebrity Theatre for lack of “safety measures.”

      “My anger isn’t toward Durk. My issue is with the establishment and putting thousands of people at risk,” the 23-year-old New Jersey native told The Shade Room. “My injury is the least of my concerns. My concern is that there were no safety measures at all… [They] weren’t taken at all… There was no order.”

      Gray said that she and her best friend went to Phoenix instead of Miami with hopes that it would be a safer choice. However, upon her arrival, she alleged that the lines at the entrance were already chaotic and securities did not even check attendees’ bags nor scan their tickets. “That was my first red flag,” she pointed out.

      Gray recalled that the Saturday, April 17 concert was great until the people heard loud noises during the last performance. It prompted her and more than 10,000 people to panic and run in different directions. She noted that she fell a few times while trying to leave the theatre and noticed her leg was bleeding due to a large gash.

      Although police assumed that her cut was a graze from a bullet, Gray was not sure what the source of her cut was. She then got treated at a nearby hospital and received seven stitches on it. “It was a lot going on. We didn’t stay around to see what was happening,” she stated, adding that she is considering taking legal action against the venue.

        See also…

      Contrary to Gray’s statement, Smurkchella insisted there was no woman being grazed by a bullet and stressed that no one needed paramedic attention. The show’s organizers also claimed to TMZ that it was just a microphone dropping on the ground that made a loud noise many believed to be gunshots.

      Lil Durk responded to reports of gunshots at Smurkchella.

      Lil Durk doubled down on his statement.

      After TMZ’s article was reposted by DJ Akademiks on his Instagram Account, Durk took to the comment section to write, “They make up stories when you lit.” The MC then shared a screenshot of the YouTuber’s post on Instagram Story, writing, “Stop trying to stop the voice and make up bad rumors.”

      While it was initially suggested that the April 17 gig was cut short by gunfire, Smurkchella organizers insist that a loud noise from dropped microphone led to the misunderstanding.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Rapper Lil Durk’s Saturday night, April 17 concert in Arizona was cut short following false reports of gunshot fire.

      At least one fan also told police arriving at the scene she was hit by a bullet, but event organizers insist there were no gunshots and a dropped microphone was behind the drama, adding reports of a woman claiming she was grazed by a bullet are false.

      A few fans suffered non-life-threatening injuries while attempting to flee the venue, according to TMZ.

      On Sunday, April 18, Smurkchella organizers issued a statement via its official Instagram account. “10K people showed up and got the opportunity to see the hottest artist in the game perform! 4 black men did that don’t allow negative media propaganda and rhetoric to mislead you! There was no shootings inside of @smurkchella,” it declared.

      “Yes, some things did go unplanned ! It’s a concert, the first concert on the heels of a pandemic,” the statement continued. “We tried to get more security [sic], for weeks because we knew what was on the horizon! We were ensured prior that security [sic] was in place and would have everything under control so we could enjoy the show safe and responsible, but somethings were out of our control!”

      “People were excited, nonetheless, it was a great experience that did not get shut down or end early! You got the chance to see @lildurk @coileray @poohshiesty perform their biggest songs together for the first time all on one stage! That’s history!!!!!!!!!
