      ‘Rain on Me’ enters Britain’s Official Charts Company rundown at number one on the same day the ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker releases her highly-anticipated album, ‘Chromatica’.
      May 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa and Ariana Grande’s duet “Rain on Me” has stormed to the top of the U.K. pop chart.
      The “Bad Romance” hitmaker and Ariana’s collaboration enters Britain’s Official Charts Company rundown at number one on the same day GaGa releases her new album, “Chromatica”.
      Speaking to OfficialCharts.com, the singer/actress reveals she’s thrilled a song she wrote at an extremely low point is now a huge hit.
      “If someone told me the day I wrote ‘Rain on Me’, a day I was crying water like misery, that this song would someday be number one, I never would have believed them,” she explains. “Thank you for celebrating this song. It’s my gift to you, to celebrate yourself. I hope the whole world is dancing.”

      “To all my U.K. monsters (her fans), I love you so much from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for making me number one, and I hope you feel number one every time you listen to this song.”
      GaGa and Ariana now each have six U.K. number one singles and their new hit becomes the first all-female collaboration to top the chart in six years, following the “7 Rings” hitmaker’s “Bang Bang” collaboration with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, which shot to number one in 2014.
      Last week’s number one, DaBaby and Roddy Ricch’s “Rockstar” falls to two, S1mba and DTG’s “Rover” is at three, Doja Cat’s “Say So” slips two places to four, and Powfu’s collaboration with Beabadoobee, “Death Bed”, completes the top five.
      In the albums chart, The 1975 win a close battle with YouTuber-turned-rapper KSI to top the rundown with their new record “Notes on a Conditional Form”. KSI’s “Dissimulation” is at two, ahead of Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent”.

      Dua Lipa’s “Future Nostalgia” and U.S. rapper Gunna’s “Wunna” complete the top five.

      Lady GaGa Calls Off Album Release Party Amid Minneapolis Protests

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Chromatica’ singer has decided to pull the plug on the party celebrating her sixth studio album amid the ongoing protests to seek justice for George Floyd.
      May 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa pulled the plug on a planned virtual album playback party on Friday, May 29, 2020 because the violence in Minnesota had left her raw and emotional.
      The “Stupid Love” singer was looking forward to hosting a listening session for her new release, “Chromatica”, but postponed the online fan get together in light of current events, including the protests regarding the death of African-American George Floyd, who was killed at the hands of white police officers on Monday, May 25, 2020.
      On Thursday night, protesters set fire to a police precinct, while U.S. leader Donald Trump was heavily criticised for posting threatening tweets to the activists.
      And Gaga wasn’t in a celebratory, album-release mood when she woke up to all the drama on Friday.
      “As much as I want to listen to Chromatica together as a global group of kindness punks right now, our kindness is needed for the world today,” she wrote. “I’m going to postpone our listening session right now and encourage you all to take this time to register to vote and raise your voice.”
      “I’m so glad the album is bringing you some joy, because that’s what I always wanted it to do. We’ll reschedule this very soon.”
      Her comments came hours after Taylor Swift condemned Trump for a tweet in which he threatened, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
      The pop star took to social media and wrote, “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.”

      David Guetta Stages Live Lockdown Performances Outdoors Because of This Reason

      by

      Instagram

      One month after performing at ‘United at Home’ on a rooftop in Miami, Florida, the ‘Dangerous’ hitmaker prepares for a second virtual benefit show that will take place in New York City.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Dance superstar David Guetta decided to take his live lockdown performances outdoors after finding it “frustrating” to play without an in-person crowd.
      With concerts and club nights shut down around the globe due to the coronavirus pandemic, many musicians have taken to the Internet to livestream gigs from the comfort of their own homes, but staging the shows indoors just wasn’t working for the Titanium hitmaker.
      “A lot of artists, especially DJs, were doing performances from their bedrooms. I felt like that was a little bit frustrating. I really wanted to feel like I have a crowd,” Guetta explained to The Associated Press.
      The French star came up with a plan to stage a virtual benefit gig last month on a rooftop in Miami, Florida, complete with festival-grade production, and the location of the first event, titled United at Home, allowed residents in nearby apartment buildings to view the concert in person, while still abiding by social distancing regulations.

      Guetta said, “I had the idea of doing this in the middle of (apartment) towers and people were on the balconies and that was absolutely amazing.”
      The livestream attracted over 12 million viewers and raised more than $700,000 (£568,000) for COVID-19 relief efforts, and Guetta is now preparing to play his second United at Home show at an undisclosed location in New York City on Saturday, May 30.
      During the Miami event, he also connected with fans via video conferencing app Zoom so he could watch them enjoy his concert as it happened, and he will be doing the same for the Big Apple bash.
      “To me it’s essential,” he shared of the fan engagement. “That was the idea behind the show. I’m going to do it in a different way in New York City, but we were also interacting with people on Zoom. I thought that was so cool. I could see the kids dancing at home. I could see everybody having their own little parties. I could interact with them. Some people would write messages to me and I would answer them. Like, this is really cool! It feels more real.
      “We’re entertainers, this is what we do. It’s not just like playing at home on the keyboard. I’m performing for the people. It’s amazing to receive energy back.”
      And while the concert will be raising donations for good causes, Guetta is thrilled to be able to entertain fans as best he can until the live music industry is up and running again.
      “We’re doing something good. And also, we’re bringing a little bit of happiness in people’s life (sic) which is what I’m trying to do as a DJ,” he smiled.
      Fans can join the next United at Home concert from 7pm EST here.

      Grimes Puts $10 Million Price to Piece of Her Soul She Sells at First Fine Art Show

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Genesis’ singer, who has just given birth to her first child with boyfriend Elon Musk, debuts ‘Selling Out’, an fine art show at Gallery Platform Los Angeles and Maccarone Los Angeles.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – New mum Grimes is selling off a piece of her soul as part of a new art project.
      The 32 year old has debuted her first fine art show at Gallery Platform Los Angeles and Maccarone Los Angeles, called Selling Out, and among the drawings, prints and photographs on show, the singer/songwriter will be offering a “legal document” giving the buyer a claim to her soul.
      “I didn’t want anyone to buy it, so I said, ‘We should just make it $10 million and then it probably won’t sell,'” she says.
      “The deeper we got with it, the more philosophically interesting it became. Also, I really wanted to collaborate with my lawyer on art. The idea of fantastical art in the form of legal documents just seems very intriguing to me.”
      Grimes became a first-time mother earlier this month when she gave birth to boyfriend Elon Musk’s sixth child.

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Rain on Me’ singer teams up with delivery app Postmates to pledge $1 to celebrity chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen organization for every order made on the platform.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is turning her album release into a charitable affair by donating up to $100,000 (£81,000) to a hunger relief fund.
      The pop superstar has teamed up with bosses at delivery app Postmates to pledge $1 (£0.81) to celebrity chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen organisation for every order made on the platform this weekend, May 29-31, up to $100,000, reports TMZ.
      The partnership is designed to promote the launch of “Chromatica”, which drops on Friday, May 29, and to sweeten the deal, app users can enter the album title at checkout to score free delivery.
      GaGa had previously planned to debut the project in April, but postponed its release due to the coronavirus outbreak.
      Breaking the news of the delay to fans back in March, the singer shared, “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right for me to release this album with all that (is) going on during this global pandemic.”
      “Chromatica” is the Oscar winner’s first new album since 2016’s “Joanne”.

      T.I. on Donald Trump Using His Song to Diss Joe Biden: It's Not Authorized

      by

      Instagram/WENN/WENN

      The representative of the rapper also shares that ‘T.I.’s legal team and media partners are already moving Expeditiously to block this unauthorized use of his song ‘Whatever You Like’.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – T.I. has spoken out after President Donald Trump used his song “Whatever You Like” to attack his political enemy, Joe Biden. Through a statement issued by his representative, the rapper made it known that he never gave POTUS consent to use his art for his campaign.
      “Trump and his team (out of desperation for his campaign) have circulated a campaign video post throughout social media that includes the unauthorized use of T.I.’s song ‘Whatever You Like’, along with edited images of him and Joe Biden. The video distorts lyrics from his #1 charting song by misrepresenting the lyrics through text language and distortion of his recorded voice,” the representative for the rapper revealed.
      “It goes without saying, that T.I. would not in any way ever support the divisive policies and destructive propaganda of Trump. The people of our country deserve far better than this,” the rep continued saying. “Be clear, he does not authorize it or consent to the use of his song to falsely suggest any endorsement of President Trump or to attack Joe Biden. It is sad, but expected, that this President would stoop so low to use his property without authority to manipulate the community.”
      Concluding the statement, the rep shared that “T.I.’s legal team and media partners are already moving Expeditiously to block this unauthorized use and set the record straight in no uncertain terms.”
      The song was featured on Trump’s official Snapchat account as his team posted slideshow of images of Biden with T.I.’s song playing in the background. However, instead of its original lyrics, “I want yo’ body, need yo’ body/ Long as you got me you won’t need nobody,” Trump’s clip has T.I. saying, “I don’t want Joe Biden, need Joe Biden/ As long as you got me you won’t need Joe Biden.”
      The move was criticized by social media users as one remarked, “Wheww the desperation.” Some others predicted it’s only a matter of time before Tip slammed Trump for the unauthorized use of his song. “T.I. Bout to turn his vernacular up [100]…dictionary in hand!” one wrote. Another commented, “I need @troubleman31 to come through with a strongly worded cease and desists! Expeditiously.”
