The rapper’s track “Toosie Slide” takes first place on the Official Singles Chart, giving him his sixth number one, while his “Dark Lane Demo Tapes” mixtape leads the new albums list.
    He is the third artist to achieve the chart double this year 2020, following in the footsteps of British rapper Stormzy, who took his “Heavy Is the Head” album and single “Own It” to the top, and Eminem, whose “Music to Be Murdered by” hit number one at the same time as his “Godzilla” song in January.
    Drake also joins an elite club of musicians in pulling off the feat three times in his career to date, each with separate releases.
    He previously scored the chart double with “Views” and the track “One Dance” in May 2016, and with “Scorpion” and the single “In My Feelings” in July 2019, making him just the 10th act in British chart history to do so.
    He was preceded by Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Madonna, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Cliff Richard, ABBA, and Elvis Presley.
    “Dark Lane Demo Tapes” replaces Dua Lipa’s album “Future Nostalgia” in first place, forcing her release down to number two and Lewis Capaldi’s “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent” slips one spot to three.
    Meanwhile, “Toosie Slide” leads Doja Cat’s “Say So” at two and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” jumps to three on the singles chart.

    6ix9ine Offers Explosion of Colors in Music Video for First Post-Prison Song 'Gooba'

    [embedded content]

    The ‘Fefe’ rapper releases a visual for his brand new single a little over one month after he got an early release from jail because of the coronavirus pandemic.
    May 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tekashi 6ix9ine returns to the music scene with a bang. The “Fefe” rapper, who is currently under home confinement following his early release from jail due to the coronavirus pandemic, has released a brand new music video for his first post-prison single, “Gooba”, treating fans to an explosion of colors.
    Under three-minute long, the visual sees the hip-hop performer sporting every color of the rainbow in his braids and on his puffer jacket. He is joined by six scantily clad dancers, his girlfriend Jade and a Dalmatian puppy as he spits rhymes filled with reference to COVID-19 and his cooperation with federal prosecutors.
    Tekashi has served as the director of the music video along with CanonF8 and David Wept. He was likely to have shot the visual in his backyard since he has been granted a permission to do so by a New York judge. He is also allowed to work on new music in his basement and carry out two hours of employment related activities per week.
    Hours after the release of the promo, the MC whose real name is Daniel Hernandez bragged that it has collected 16 million views in just 4 hours. “YouTube is frozen,” he declared on an Instagram post that has since been deleted. “And with this GOODNIGHT I literally s**tted on every hater and doubter keep punching the air ILL BE MAD TOO how a rat litter then you #nastywork.”
    Tekashi was sentenced to two years in jail for racketeering charges back in December 2019. Prior to his sentencing, the 24-year-old rapper testified against his former Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang members in court. He was actually expected to be given an early release and return home in late July 2020 before coronavirus broke out.
    In January, Tekashi’s lawyer filed a motion to allow him to serve the remainder of his sentence under home confinement or in a community correctional facility. It was not until early April that he was granted the request due to his history as an asthma sufferer. Throughout the four months he will spend under “home incarceration”, he is fitted to a GPS tracking device.

    Little Mix Hosting Their Own Show in 'Break Up Song' Music Video

    Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall are hosting a show called ‘Good Morning Break Up’ in a music video for their latest single.
    May 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Little Mix have premiered the official video for their new single, “Break Up Song”.
    The group released the track in March 2020 but, due to nationwide lockdown measures across the U.K., the stars were left “gutted” after they were unable to record a high-budget video for the tune.
    Taking matters into their own hands, singers Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall, came up with a creative, 1980s inspired alternative.
    In the clip, each girl has their own felt alter-ego and role in a fictional Little Mix TV show, titled “Good Morning Break Up”. It kicks off with Leigh-Anne running a phone-in for brokenhearted viewers before Jesy takes centre stage to do the weather report.
    Later, Perrie’s alter-ego leads an aerobic dance routine in the second verse while Jade has her moment in the spotlight, turning into a fortune teller looking into a crystal ball.
    During the chorus, the girls come into shot, each dancing around and singing in front of identical pink, shimmering backdrops with a high energy routine, proving they wouldn’t let the unfavourable situation get them down.
    [embedded content]
    The new video comes after Little Mix cancelled their summer U.K. tour due to the Covid-19 crisis. Their TV talent show, “Little Mix: The Search”, has also been delayed due to the pandemic.

    Bob Dylan Books Summer Release for First Original Album in Eight Years

    The ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’ hitmaker has announced release date for ‘Rough and Rowdy Ways’, his first-ever studio album of original songs since 2012’s ‘Tempest.’
    May 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bob Dylan has announced his first album of original songwriting in eight years.
    “Rough and Rowdy Ways” will be released on June 19, 2020, following three albums of cover versions, reported The Guardian.
    Two songs from the new album have been released in recent weeks. “Murder Most Foul”, his longest song ever at 17 minutes, a mystical reflection on the JFK assassination that also recalls decades of American pop culture, and “I Contain Multitudes”.

    On Friday, May 8, 2020, Dylan dropped a third song from the album, the guitar-heavy “False Prophet”.
    [embedded content]
    “I ain’t no false prophet,” Dylan riffs in his trademark growl. “I just know what I know.” As he quotes Martin Luther’s phrase “enemy of strife” and tells a “poor devil” to look up at a “city of God” before ending the song by singing, “I can’t remember when I was born/ and I forgot when I died.”
    [embedded content]
    The new album has ten tracks; on the CD version, the 17-minute-long “Murder Most Foul” gets its own disc.
    Dylan’s last album of new songs was 2012’s “Tempest”, which he followed with three collections of standards: “Shadows in the Night”, “Fallen Angels”, and “Triplicate”.
    “Rough and Rowdy Ways”, which takes inspiration from the 1929 Jimmie Rodgers classic “My Rough and Rowdy Ways”, will be his 39th studio album. The “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” singer released his self-titled debut album in 1962.
    The 78-year-old was due to tour Japan in April, but was forced to cancel the concerts due to the coronavirus outbreak.
