      by

      The ‘Rain On Me’ singer stays at the top spot across the pond with her latest studio installment ‘Chromatica’, holding off British indie rockers Sports Team.
      Jun 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa’s “Chromatica” is still the U.K.’s number one album after holding off a spirited challenge from British indie rockers Sports Team. “Chromatica” keeps the chart crown for a second week after topping Friday’s June 12, 2020 Official Charts Company rundown by just 600 chart sales.
      Sports Team’s debut “Deep Down Happy” finished just behind in second spot after a week in which the Cambridge University educated band attempted to beat GaGa by drumming up sales on social media.
      At three is U.S. rockers All Time Low’s “Wake Up, Sunshine”, with Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent” at four, and YouTuber turned rapper KSI’s “Dissimulation” completing the top five.
      There’s also no change at the top of the singles chart, with DaBaby and Roddy Ricch’s “Rockstar” making it a fourth non-consecutive week and second week in a row at the summit. Lady GaGa and Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me” stays at two, with S1mba and DTG’s “Rover” also a non-mover at three.
      German DJ Topic is at four with his collaboration with Swedish singer A7S. Rounding out the top five is Powfu and Beabadoobee’s “Death Bed”.

      Jun 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Wicked” stars Idina Menzel and Megan Hilty have shared a virtual duet of the musical’s hit song “For Good” to honour students missing out on their 2020 graduation ceremonies.
      The show’s original Elphaba and Hilty, who took over the role of Glinda on Broadway in 2005, released their special lockdown version of the tune for school and college graduates, writing, “Over the last few years you have made friends and memories that have changed you for the better. We now hope you go out there and change the world for good. This is for you.”
      Sharing the post on her own Instagram page on Thursday, June 11, 2020, “Smash” star Hilty added the caption, “To the class of 2020, the world needs you now more than ever. We hope you now help make a change, for good. Congratulations to you all…”

      Graduates were forced to miss physical ceremonies in recent weeks due to coronavirus restrictions, prompting a series of online events to mark their achievements. The biggest one, held over the weekend, June 7, 2020, was led by former U.S. leader Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

      Dream Street Get Together to Sing 'It Happens Every Time' in Memory of Chris Trousdale

      by

      Instagram

      Jesse McCartney, Greg Raposo, Matt Ballinger and Frankie Galasso reunite online a little over a week after their former bandmate passed away from complications related to Covid-19.
      Jun 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The remaining members of Dream Street reunited recently to pay tribute to their late bandmate Chris Trousdale with a heartfelt rendition of “It Happens Every Time”.
      Jesse McCartney shared the Zoom performance on his social media pages, writing alongside it: “In Loving Memory of our friend Chris Trousdale. 6.11.85-6.2.20.”
      As well as the video showing Jesse, Greg Raposo, Matt Ballinger and Frankie Galasso belting out the song, it also featured clips of Chris performing with the band prior to his tragic death from complications related to Covid-19 earlier this month.

      Following his death, Chris’ Dream Street bandmates all paid tribute to their pal in heartbreaking posts, with Jesse remembering him as an “explosively charming” man.
      “It pains me to say that an old friend, Chris Trousdale, from my early days in the music industry has passed away due to complications from Covid-19,” he wrote. “Chris had an explosively charming personality with boundless amounts of talent.”

      Even though the group disbanded in 2002 after just three years together, Jesse added that it “felt like a lifetime” and the bandmates “built a real brotherhood” during their time in the industry.
      “In later years, we would grow apart as our lives would take different turns, but I would often reflect on our early days together and think about how exciting it all was,” Jesse added.

      Meanwhile, Frankie concluded the tribute posts, writing on his Instagram: “His passing weighs heavy on my heart, but I will always have the memories, of those years with him, to look back on fondly. I can’t begin to imagine the heartbreak his family is going through today, and I send my deepest condolences. You were taken too soon, but I know you are in a better place. Rest in peace brother.”

      6ix9ine Accused of Fraud and Defamation by Promoters Over Canceled 2018 Concert

      by

      Instagram

      Benhur Tesfalidet and Anton Alexander, who took issue with the ‘TROLLZ’ rapper for bailing out on a Washington D.C. gig, plans to re-file a $5.3 million lawsuit against him before the end of June.
      Jun 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tekashi 6ix9ine is facing a $5.3 million (£4.2 million) lawsuit from two promoters who allege he bailed on a concert and then defamed them.
      Promoters Benhur Tesfalidet and Anton Alexander, are accusing 6ix9ine of fraud, breach of contract and defamation, claiming that in 2018, the “Gummo” rapper cancelled a concert in Washington D.C. without notice before playing a gig at another venue on the same night.
      They claim he pocketed $58,470 (£46, 500) in advance fees and then defamed them on social media by accusing them of failing to pay him and calling them “corrupt” and “scamming”.
      According to editors at Complex, who have obtained a copy of the lawsuit, a version of the complaint was originally filed in Washington D.C. District Court in late 2018, but was withdrawn six months later at the request of the plaintiffs.
      Sources tell Complex, that a completed new complaint will be re-filed before the end of June and state that in the new version of the lawsuit, 6ix9ine will be charged with breach of contract, fraud, and defamation.
      Also named in the suit as defendants are his former manager Kifano ‘Shotti’ Jordan, the firm MTA Booking, another booker, Will Cornish, and the hip-hop star’s original manager Christian Ehigiator. iHeartMedia, a defendant in the original suit, is no longer named.
      On the date of the abandoned concert at D.C. club Echostage, 6ix9ine appeared at Power 105.1’s Powerhouse concert in New Jersey. The promoters allege he did not give any notice and failed to appear.
      After the dispute in 2018 the musician, real name Daniel Hernandez, was arrested on gang-related charges and was sentenced to two years in prison. He was granted early release in April due to the Covid-19 pandemic and will serve the rest of his term under house arrest.
