      Spain's Primavera Sound Festival Pushed Back to Late August Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

      by

      Also getting delayed because of the coronavirus outbreak is the 2020 Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana, which was originally planned to take place on July 1 to 5.
      Mar 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Spain’s Primavera Sound Festival and the 2020 Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana have become the latest music events postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      Primavera officials had been set to mark the 20th anniversary of the bash in early June, with performers including The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, Beck, Massive Attack, Iggy Pop, Disclosure, The National, Kacey Musgraves and Young Thug.
      However, the COVID-19 outbreak has prompted festival bosses to delay the celebrations until late August.
      In a statement, they wrote, “There are things that only happen once in a lifetime. The current global COVID-19 health crisis is, unfortunately, one of them. But it won’t be the only one.”
      “The spirit of solidarity and collective response of society in the face of this emergency will live on for a long time, and will allow us to embrace exceptional situations and overcome the challenge… and to literally embrace each other once it is over.”

      Meanwhile, this summer’s Essence Festival, originally planned for 1 to 5 July, has also been pushed back due to the coronavirus chaos.
      Officials are working on securing a new date for this autumn, although it’s not yet known if headliners Janet Jackson and Bruno Mars will remain on the bill.

      Texas’ SXSW and Florida’s Ultra Music, as well as Britain’s Glastonbury, were all cancelled due to the pandemic, while Coachella and Stagecoach in California, and Bonnaroo in Tennessee have been postponed until later in the year.

      Artist of the Week: Niall Horan

      by

      The One Direction member recently released his second studio album entitled ‘Heartbreak Weather’, which opened at No. 4 on Billboard 200 and received positive reviews.
      Mar 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ever since One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus, the boys continued to prove their talent through their solo release. Among them is Niall Horan, whose debut single “This Town” was appealing to both the group’s fans and others thanks to his vocals and beautiful chorus. But that wasn’t the only song that helped him shine, as he recently released his second studio album “Heartbreak Weather”.
      Hitting the stores on March 13, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics and did well on music charts. It opened at No. 4 on Billboard 200 and launched atop the Irish Albums Chart and the U.K. Albums Chart. Meanwhile, its lead single “Nice to Meet Ya” peaked at No. 1 on U.K. Singles Chart and was certified silver in the country.
      Described as a perfect mix of alternative rock and pop, Niall said of the song in an interview, “I was out one night and locked eyes with this girl. We got chatting, and she was with a group of her mates and I was with a group of my mates. It felt like every time I turned around — like the lyric says — she just kind of disappeared. But then over the course of the same night, in different bars around that same area, we would bump into each other.”
      In support of the album, the British heartthrob is set to embark on a tour called “Nice to Meet Ya Tour” this year. Its North American leg is scheduled to open on April 20 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and wrap up on May 20 at SAP Center in San Jose. He will resume the tour in Australia in September and conclude it in Mexico in December. Lewis Capaldi, Fletcher and Maisie Peters are set to open the tour.

      The Weeknd Posts Biggest Debut of 2020 on Billboard 200 With 'After Hours'

      by

      The ‘Blinding Lights’ singer’s fourth studio album launches at the top of the U.S. albums chart with 444,000 equivalent album units, marking his personal weekly best.
      Mar 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Weeknd is getting some good news amid the bleak time for show business due to the coronavirus crisis. The Canadian singer’s latest album “After Hours” had a successful start, debuting atop the Billboard 200 chart for the week ending March 26.
      The fourth studio album from the 30-year-old R&B singer, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, raked in 444,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. alone in its first week, posting the biggest week for any album in 2020. The sum additionally marks his personal weekly best.
      The album’s first week total of 444,000 equivalent album units comprises 275,000 in album sales, 163,000 in SEA units and 6,000 in TEA units. The album’s SEA sum equates to 220.7 million on-demand streams of the set’s tracks in its first week. The streaming sum alone would have earned The Weeknd the No. 1 debut even if he hadn’t sold a single physical copy.
      Meanwhile, former two-week champion Lil Uzi Vert’s “Eternal Atake” falls to No. 2 with additional 115,000 equivalent album units, or down 53% from last week. Another former No. 1, Lil Baby’s “My Turn”, also drops one spot to No. 3 with 60,000 equivalent album units (down 22%), while Bad Bunny’s “YHLQMDLG” slides from from No. 3 to No. 4 with 51,000 units (down 26%).
      Conan Gray’s debut studio album “Kid Krow” opens at No. 5 with 49,000 equivalent album units. Of that sum, 37,000 were in album sales, thanks in part to the concert/ticket album sale redemption offer with his tour late last year, and merchandise/album bundles. Previously, the 21-year-old singer/songwriter entered Billboard 200 with his debut EP, “Sunset Season”, which debuted and peaked at No. 118 on the December 1, 2018-dated tally.
      Roddy Ricch’s “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” holds on to No. 6 with 43,000 equivalent album units (down 13%), while Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” rises 8-7 with 38,000 units, despite seeing a 8% slide in sales. Jhene Aiko’s “Chilombo” climbs up three spots to No. 8 with 37,000.
      In the wake of Kenny Rogers’ passing on March 20, his greatest hits collection “The Best of Kenny Rogers: Through the Years” enters the Billboard 200 chart for the first time since its release in 1983. It debuts at No. 9 with 32,000 equivalent album units, with 10,000 of that sum in album sales.
      Closing out the top 10 is the soundtrack to “Frozen II”, which holds steady on the spot with 31,000 equivalent album units, or down only 1% from last week.
      Top Ten Billboard 200 (Week ending March 26, 2020):
      ” After Hours” – The Weeknd (247,000 units)
      “Eternal Atake” – Lil Uzi Vert (115,000 units)
      “My Turn” – Lil Baby (60,000 units)
      “YHLQMDLG” – Bad Bunny (51,000 units)
      “Kid Krow” – Conan Gray (49,000 units)
      “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” – Roddy Ricch (43,000 units)

      Rumer Unveils Story Behind Collaboration With Hugh Prestwood for New Album

      by

      Instagram

      Speaking of ‘Nashville Tears’, the ‘Slow’ singer describes it as an album of songs from the Nashville songwriting community that ‘didn’t get the attention they deserved.’
      Mar 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Acclaimed British singer Rumer has recorded a new album full of tracks written by Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Hugh Prestwood.
      Nashville Tears features Rumer’s take on songs like “The Song Remembers When”, which was a hit for Trisha Yearwood, and “Hard Times For Lovers”, previously recorded by Judy Collins.
      The singer admits she had never heard of Prestwood before she started work on an album inspired by the “lost gems” of Nashville after becoming a mum.
      “When I had a baby in 2017, I was living in rural Arkansas, and hadn’t quite thought through how isolating that would be once the baby was born…,” she writes on her website. “As the months wore on I couldn’t imagine writing a song again. I wondered if I would ever be able to write an album.
      “Hardly anyone in the music world called me during that time. It was a lonely time. I felt far out at sea as though I had drifted too far away and didn’t know how to get back. But one person kept calling me. His name was Fred Mollin… a funny Canadian producer… He called me every week, he wanted to do something with me, an album project with me. I kept putting him off because I had this small baby and I was just totally lost and couldn’t figure out how to get back into music again.”
      Eventually she suggested an album of songs from the Nashville songwriting community that “didn’t get the attention they deserved”.
      Mollin loved the idea and posted an ad in industry publication Music Row, which read: “Is your song the saddest song in Nashville? Is your song the song that got away?.”
      “We had hundreds, maybe thousands of submissions,” Rumer writes. “I listened and listened but I wasn’t feeling that we were finding what we were looking for.
      “Then Fred sends me a song from his collection. A demo of Oklahoma Stray by Hugh Prestwood. I had never heard of Hugh Prestwood – but his song blew me away. Then we listened to more of his demos and cuts. I couldn’t believe I had never heard of this great songwriter. I was thrilled – it was like finding gold. The quality of his writing surpassed every other writer we had heard out of Nashville. I knew in that moment we had to make an album of Hugh Prestwood songs and to curate a beautiful collection for you all to hear.”
      Nashville Tears drops on 24 April.
