      In addition to Hopkins, Recording Academy officials gather Sugarland touring keyboardist Brandon Bush, singer Christine Albert and top engineer Jeff Powell to rework ‘Angel from Montgomery’.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Zac Brown Band musician John Driskell Hopkins has helped to record a cover of folk legend John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery” to raise coronavirus relief funds.
      Recording Academy officials have gathered members including Hopkins, Sugarland touring keyboardist Brandon Bush, singer/songwriter Christine Albert, and top engineer/producer Jeff Powell to rework Prine’s 1971 tune to benefit the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.
      Prine, who received the 2020 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, died from coronavirus complications in April (20), aged 73, and the new release is designed to also celebrate his memory and his generous spirit, while helping to provide financial support to musicians in need during these trying times.
      “John Prine was one of the most amazing songwriters we’ve ever had, he’s just unparalleled,” Recording Academy trustee Michael Romanowski shared in a statement. “We want to honor John and all of his awesomeness.”

      “We started this project as a way to raise money for MusiCares,” he added. “With John’s passing, we also wanted to raise awareness that this can strike anybody. It doesn’t matter if you’re famous or not, a seasoned veteran, or the perhaps just building your career. If we can help in some way, if we can help make sure that those in need have food, or rent, or something else to help keep get them through.”

      Artist of the Week: Tekashi 6ix9ine

      by

      The controversial rapper breaks multiple records with his comeback single ‘Gooba’ and almost sends his rival Ariana Grande to therapy and early retirement due to his overwhelming numbers.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Almost everything about Tekashi 6ix9ine seems to fascinate people these days. From his rainbow hair, family drama, celebrity feud, criminal record, to musical craft, they often become a topic of discussions on the internet. When he was released from prison early, people were flocking to him.
      The controversial rapper caused a storm online with his first post-jail Instagram Live video. He defended himself for testifying against his former gang and racked up two million views, breaking the record previously held by Tory Lanez and Drake’s Quarantine Radio which had 310,000 viewers.
      The 24-year-old lyricist, real name Daniel Hernandez, soon followed it up with a comeback song called “Gooba”. With catchy beat and lyrics as well as a vibrant music video full of twerking girls and a cute puppy, it’s no brainer that the clip quickly accumulated millions of views on YouTube.
      He garnered over 43 million views in 24 hours, breaking the previous record held by Eminem to become the biggest debut for a hip-hop video in YouTube history. Back in 2018, the Slim Shady amassed 38.1 million views in the first day of release for his Machine Gun Kelly diss song.
      On top of that, “Gooba” became the fastest video to reach 100 million views online, surpassing Taylor Swift’s “ME!” and Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next”.
      The song also dominated the charts. It launched at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart with 55.3 million streams in the U.S. alone and started at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales with 24,000 sold. Meanwhile, it debuted at No. 3 on Billboard Hot 100 and entered the U.K. singles chart at No. 6.
      Although he didn’t get No. 1 on the U.S. singles chart, he gave his rival Ariana quite a scare. In an Instagram Story and now-deleted tweet before the rankings were revealed, the “Dangerous Woman” singer called the release week “terrifying” and said she needed therapy due to the anxiety. She even pleaded with fans to buy her song and hinted at early retirement if the top spot was not hers.

      It was indeed a neck-and-neck race to No. 1. The competition included Doja Cat’s “Say So” remix featuring Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” remix featuring Beyonce Knowles, The Weeknd’s former champion “Blinding Lights”, and Drake’s “Toosie Slide”.
      Although Tekashi69 was disappointed when he didn’t score No. 1 on Hot 100, he quickly moved on. He’s now gearing up for his next music offering and vows to break the internet again. Details of his upcoming single are still scarce but rumors suggest it’s a collaboration with Nicki Minaj.

      During the Spotify event set for May 27, devotees can join ‘The Real Slim Shady’ hitmaker in a live question and answer session as well as a listen to his hit 2000 release.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rap icon Eminem is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his hit album “The Marshall Mathers LP” with an online listening party.
      The star, real name Marshall Mathers, will host the event on music streaming service Spotify on Wednesday, May 27, at a time yet to be determined, when fans can join him in a live question and answer session, and listen to the 2000 release, which featured the singles “Stan”, “The Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am”.
      Eminem is also unveiling a new line of merchandise to mark the occasion, including a limited edition “Stan Varsity” hoodie, while other celebrations are also reportedly in the works to entertain fans in coronavirus isolation.
      He has invited U.S.-based devotees to keep up to date on developments by texting a special number (313-666-7440) or checking out his website (https://www.eminem.com/) for more details.
      “The Marshall Mathers LP” cemented Eminem’s place in hip-hop history, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and shifting 1.78 million units in its first week to become the fastest-selling album in chart history. It later lost the title in 2015 to Adele’s “25”.
      Eminem, 47, previously admitted the project will always overshadow his future endeavors, because it was some of his best work ever.
      “I am forever chasing The Marshall Mathers LP,” he confessed in a 2017 interview with Vulture. “That was the height of what I could do. I just don’t have the rage I did back then.”

      by

      WENN

      The former ‘American Idol’ judge rejoins the ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ group to enter a ‘new chapter’ and work on new music after debuting their new look at charity event.
      May 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Journey frontman Neal Schon has welcomed former bassist Randy Jackson back into the band as part of the rockers’ “new chapter.”
      Schon shared the news with fans on social media on Saturday, May 23, 2020 shortly before the new-look group made its debut on the UNICEF Won’t Stop virtual fundraiser, which also featured appearances by Cher, Pink, Salma Hayek, and Millie Bobby Brown.
      “Ok Friends word is out! @randyjackson RJ the Big Dawg is our new Bass player again (sic),” the guitarist posted, before revealing he and longtime bandmate Jonathan Cain had also recruited drummer Narada Michael Walden and keyboardist/vocalist Jason Derlatka to join their ranks.
      “JOURNEY is an ever-changing unstoppable force…,” Schon added. “This is a completely new chapter for us and (we) can’t wait to get to it!”
      Former “American Idol” judge Jackson previously played with the band in the 1980s.
      The stars, alongside singer Arnel Pineda, staged a remote performance of their mega-hit “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” for the UNICEF event, and after the online get-together, Schon returned to Instagram to reveal they will be working on new material together.
      “We were so happy to be involved with @unicef with all the amazing artists, for such a great cause…,” he posted.
      “Welcome to our Journey family @randyjackson @officialnarada and @jason_derlatka… Believe Friends New Music Coming (sic).”
      The group’s most recent album of original songs was 2011 release “Eclipse” – the last to feature ousted members Ross Valory and Steve Smith, who had played in Journey on and off since the band’s formation in 1973.
      ,p > Schon and Cain fired the pair in March and filed suit, accusing them of attempting to take over the group to gain control of the Journey trademark.
      Valory has refuted the “outrageous” claims and has since lodged a countersuit.
