      The “Stronger” hitmaker added, “And it’s all thanks to you folks …. thank you for sticking with me and growing with me … I am one Lucky girl. God Bless and thank you all !!!!!! PS you see even 20 years ago I still liked to twirl!!!!”

      In March, the singer also marked the anniversary of the record’s title track, gushing, “Oops!….how did 20 years go by so fast?!??! I can’t believe it.”
      “I remember that red suit was so freaking hot …but the dance was fun and it made the shoot fly by !!!!!”

      The Australian country music singer performs his songs for first responders at a drive-by movie theater where concertgoers are isolated in their own vehicle.
      May 17, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Keith Urban took the stage at the Stardust Drive-In Movie Theater outside of Nashville, Tennessee to perform a special set for first responders amid the Covid-19 crisis.
      The music star performed the first-of-its-kind show for frontline workers tackling the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S., and told the crowd as he hit the stage, “To all of you guys here tonight, for everything that you’ve done, and continue to do, to all of your families, we say thank you – this concert is for all of you.”
      The private, unannounced show, which lasted over an hour, was set up exclusively for more than 200 doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians, and staff from Vanderbilt Health, part of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which has 140 locations throughout Tennessee and surrounding States.

      Over 100 workers, each isolated in their own vehicle showed up, honking their horns and flashing their lights throughout the performance.
      “I did this to say thanks to the healthcare workers who are putting their lives on the line for us every day,” said Urban, according to a press release. “And performing in this environment, with everyone in their cars at a safe distance from one another, seems like an amazing opportunity for everybody to just let go and have fun… and I’m a musician, I HAVE TO PLAY!”

      Urban, alongside Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans, is billed to appear on the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday, in the latest of the iconic venue’s virtual shows.

      “The current absence of concerts and festivals is extremely damaging to both artists and to the music industry, and as a company that’s dedicated to virtual events and immersive content, we wanted to utilize our unique technology to create a solution.”
      “Our new studio facility in LA provides a safe, innovative, creative space for artists wishing to reach their fans digitally while they are unable to perform publicly. I’m thrilled to be working with our partners throughout the industry, including artists, managers, record labels and promoters to bring this series of exclusive performances to fans.”
      Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, singer Katelyn Tarver, and rockers The Score will also be taking part in the MelodyVR concert series over the next few days, with the gigs doubling as fundraisers to boost donations to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.

      Jessie Ware Voices Worry About 'Shell Life for Women' in the Music Industry

      by

      Glamour UK

      Sharing her thought on sexism in the music world, the ‘Say You Love Me’ hitmaker recalls being told she was being really emotional during a meeting when she was not.
      May 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jessie Ware has spoken out against sexism in the music industry, insisting standards are different for men and women.
      The singer, 35, discussed the issue in a new interview with Glamour U.K. magazine, admitting she fears there’s a “shelf life” for women in the business.
      “They don’t ask men how they’re going to tour with their children, do they?” the mother of two mused. “But you get used to it, you take it with a pinch of salt, and it’s also something that I struggled to work out.”
      She continued, “I once got told that I was being really emotional (in a meeting), and I was being really not-emotional, and I wonder whether they would have said that to a bloke. I didn’t rise to it, and I was very calm. But you know, it happens.”
      “I definitely think there’s more of a shelf life for women,” the “Spotlight” star added. “I don’t want to sound negative because actually I’m able to make the music I want to make, but I’m madly thought of as relatively old and I’m 35!”
      The “Say You Love Me” hitmaker will appear alongside Ellie Goulding as part of the publication’s upcoming Lockdown Live festival, which also features cook-alongs, fitness sessions and inspiring panel talks from stars including actress/model Sabrina Elba, chef Gizzi Erskine and stylist Irene Agbontaen.

      The event takes place on 22 May, with more information available here https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/glamour-lockdown-live-2020.

      6ix9ine Blasts Billboard for Allegedly Manipulating Hot 100 Chart

      by

      Instagram

      The Brooklyn rapper has taken to his Instagram account to share a video of him pointing proofs that Billboard is playing ‘favorites’ and getting ‘paid for No. 1s.’
      May 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – 6ix9ine a.k.a. Tekashi69 is calling out Billboard. The “Gooba” hitmaker accuses Billboard for purposedly cheating him out of Hot 100 chart by manipulating it as his new single fails to nab the No. 1 spot.
      On Friday, May 15, the Brooklyn rapper took to his Instagram account to share a video of him pointing proofs that Billboard was playing “favorites.” In the clip, he showed an email that was purportedly sent to major record labels on Thursday.
      The email had Doja Cat’s “Say So” at No. 1, while his single “Gooba” followed it up at No. 2. Meanwhile, The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” was at No. 3, and Megan Thee Stallion and Beyonce Knowles’ “Savage” was at No. 4. Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s latest collaboration “Stuck With U” concluded the top five.
      Tekashi later claimed that Billboard sent another email “last second” on Thursday night. The new email had “Stuck With U” ascending from No. 5 to No. 1 after gaining 60,000 units “out of nowhere.” He said in the video, “[Grande and Bieber] went from being fifth place to first place out of nowhere. So ‘Gooba’ never jumps to No. 1, but Ariana jumps from No. 5 to No. 1?” He also pointed out that Billboard promoted in a tweet signed physical copies of the “Stuck With U” single.
      “I’ll be real disappointed ’cause this is for every rapper, artist in the world. Every genre. If you manipulate the charts right and you create bundles…’Gooba’ streamed over 200 millions streams–more than ‘Stuck With U’, Doja Cat, more than every artist that released a song this week double the times. It’s a landslide,” he said, before adding that Sony and Universal Music requested audits.
      He continued, “Because literally, you’re manipulating the charts now. So, Billboard, the world is watching … If y’all do this to every artist in the world, how can an artist that works hard get No. 1? How?”

      Prior to this, 6ix9ine warned Billboard in a now-deleted post. “We love you (Billboard) and always supported the charting,” he said. “On every platform we are dominating by a LANDSLIDE. The numbers are there and to be looked at. WITH NO RADIO WE ARE DOMINATING THE STREAMS. I will hate to believe that people pay for their spins on the radio and making manipulating bundles to manipulate the chart. Again it’s still early Im just making it clear that the world is watching.”
