      Artist of the Week: Blake Shelton

      by

      Blake Shelton tops the country music chart for the umpteenth times while giving his girlfriend Gwen Stefani her first No. 1 country song with their latest collaboration.
      May 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nowadays many celebrities choose to keep their works separate from their private lives, but Blake Shelton is doing the opposite. Since dating Gwen Stefani in 2015, the 43-year-old country music crooner has collaborated with his girlfriend several times while maintaining a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.
      They put their romance on display in their latest duet “Nobody But You” and it became a big success. The single rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated May 2 and peaked at the second spot on the airplay-, streaming- and sales-powered Hot Country Songs chart. It raked in 9.4 million U.S. streams and sold 9,000 downloads in the week ending April 23.
      The song saw Blake and Gwen declaring their love to each other while the music video matched the romantic and heartfelt lyrics as it offered a look into the couple’s day-to-day life in his Oklahoma ranch. It marked the third studio duet for the duo, following 2016’s “Go Ahead and Break My Heart” and 2017’s “You Make It Feel Like Christmas”.
      While Blake has topped country music charts numerous times, it’s the first time for his girlfriend who started out her career as the frontwoman of pop/rock band No Doubt. “Gwen has a country hit right now!” Blake joked in a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon. “Who would have ever thought that Gwen Stefani on country radio?”
      Gwen was pleasantly surprised by the feat. “Trying to wrap my head around the fact that I even get to know you Blake Shelton -let alone be on Such a beautiful classic duet w u?!” she tweeted. “Thank you ! for taking me along on this ride with you!! I am so grateful and blown away by all the support everyone has shown us!!?!!”
      The single was featured in Blake’s 2019 compilation album “Fully Loaded: God’s Country”. Powered with his most successful singles from two previous albums along with four new songs and a cover, the record debuted at the second position on Billboard Hot 200 and jumped straight to the first spot on the Top Country Albums ranking.

      “I wanted to thank the artists and everyone who helped make them… they were doing the same for me… I am writing a fan letter to accompany each song to try and explain my fascination.”

      Britney Spears Leaves Little to Imagination in New 'Glory' Artwork

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker debuts a steamy alternative artwork for her 2016 studio album after it jumped to the top spot on the iTunes chart following fan campaign.
      May 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Britney Spears has unveiled new, alternative artwork for her 2016 album “Glory”, following a fan campaign which saw the record top the U.S. iTunes Pop Chart.
      After Mariah Carey fans managed to land her 2008 album “E=MC2” at the top of the iTunes Chart with the #JusticeForEMC2 campaign, Britney fans wanted a piece of the action and took to social media in a bid to secure justice for “Glory”.
      Following their efforts, the record made it to number one on the chart and the 38-year-old pop icon rejoiced with fans online over the achievement.
      On Friday, May 8, 2020, the “Toxic” star continued to celebrate the record by changing the cover art without warning, replacing its original photo of her backlit face with a brand new snap, showing her stretched out amid chains along a desert landscape.
      “You asked for a new Glory cover and since it went to number one we had to make it happen,” Britney wrote alongside the new cover image. “Couldn’t have done it without you all.”
      The new photo, in which the star simply wears a barely-there golden one-piece, had garnered almost half a million likes within hours of being posted.

      When the album topped the charts earlier this month, Britney told fans online, “WOW!!!! I was not expecting to see this today …. you guys are amazing !!!!! I love this album and am happy to see you do too !!!!”

      Original Artwork of Led Zeppelin's First Album Set for Auction

      by

      The original artwork, by George Hardie, which featured on the front page of the legendary band’s self-titled album is among the memorabilia to be sold under the hammer.
      May 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The original artwork for the cover of Led Zeppelin’s 1969 self-titled debut album will be auctioned off next month, June 2020.
      The cover was designed by George Hardie and based on photographer Sam Shere’s famous 1937 photograph of the Hindenburg disaster, depicting a Zeppelin erupting into flames.
      The piece is estimated to fetch between $20,000 and $30,000 and senior specialist of the Books and Manuscripts department at auction house Christie’s, Peter Klarnet, told Rolling Stone, “In terms of rarity, this is a unique object – I don’t think you can get rarer than that.”
      Hardie designed the piece while he was a graduate student at the Royal College of Art in London after his friend, the photographer Stephen Goldblatt, had recommended him to the rockers.
      The band reportedly paid Hardie just $75 for his work and he went on to design album covers for bands including Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, and Wings.
      “The historical significance of this album cover cannot be understated,” Klarnet added. “It marked a major turning point in the history of pop music, heralded by the debut of Led Zeppelin. It was louder, bolder than what had come before and would come to define the shape of hard rock for generations.”
      “This simple rendering of the Hindenburg exploding over Lakehurst stands as a monument to that important historical moment. And the image has endured in a way that most other album covers have not – it very much has taken on a life of its own.”
      The auction takes place from June 2 to 18, 2020.
