      Mar 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gwen Stefani is returning the favor to her boyfriend Blake Shelton. Weeks after the “God’s Country” singer made a surprise appearance at one of her Las Vegas residency’s shows, the former No Doubt frontwoman delighted attendees of his Los Angeles concert with their sweet onstage duet of “Nobody But You”.
      On Saturday night, March 7, Shelton took the stage at the Forum as a part of his “Friends and Heroes Tour”, and crooned the song off his “Fully Loaded: God’s Country” album. Soon after he delivered his first verse, Stefani’s voice was heard as she popped out from behind the stage, prompting concertgoers to erupt in cheers over her appearance.
      For the special performance, the “Hollaback Girl” hitmaker rocked a blue fringed denim jacket with the word “Blake” written on its back. She completed her costume with a pair of short shorts and thigh-high sparkly boots. At the end of the performance, she shared a tight hug with Shelton who then peppered her with kisses.
      After the show, Stefani made use of Instagram to post a clip of their duet. She wrote alongside the video, “Got to hop on stage w my best friend @blakeshelton tonight #friendsandheroestour #nobodybutyou 2020 Gx.” She also let out a photo of her pointing at Shelton’s direction, and thanked him for “having me on your @theforum stage and giving me the opportunity to wear denim and diamond Fringe with a unicorn ponytail.”

      The 50-year-old songstress additionally shared a series of behind-the-scene photos. Both pictures capture her and Shelton as they were joined by her two sons with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, 13-year-old Kingston and 11-year-old Zuma, backstage.

      Shelton himself turned to his Instagram page to share a video of their duet. In an accompanying caption of the post, he teased his fans, “Friends, heroes, AND… @GwenStefani! Y’all never know what might happen on the #FriendsAndHeroesTour!”

      Stefani and Shelton performed their romantic duet of “Nobody But You” for the first time at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards back in January. Three weeks later, the “Hillbilly Bone” crooner delighted the “Wind It Up” singer’s fans when he made a surprise appearance at her “Just a Girl” residency at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas.

      Lil Baby Nabs First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With 'My Turn'

      by

      Also making history this week is Bad Bunny’s ‘YHLQMDLG’ that debuts at No. 2, marking the highest-charting all-Spanish-language album ever on the Billboard 200 chart.
      Mar 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lil Baby is celebrating his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart this week. The rapper scores the title with his sophomore effort titled “My Turn”, which successfully opened with 197,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending of March 5, according to Nielsen Music.
      Included in that sum are 184,000 in SEA units, which is equating to 261.1 million on-demands streams for the album’s songs in its first week, making “My Turn” the most-streamed album of the week. As for pure sales, it is sold just under 10,000 copies as the artist offers more than a dozen merchandise/album bundles sold on his official website.
      “My Turn” marks the Atlanta rapper’s fifth charting album as well as fourth Top 10. Lil Baby previously made his way to the top 10 in the chart with his previous releases, including “Street Gossip”, which got No. 2 in December 2018, and “Drip Harder” with Gunna which took the fourth place back in October 2018. Meanwhile, the spitter’s “Harder Than Ever” landed at No. 3 in June 2018.
      In a new interview prior to the release of the new chart, Lil Baby admitted to feeling excited knowing the possibility of landing his first No. 1. “Numbers ain’t really that important,” he offered. “They are when you go No. 1… but, for the most part, don’t try to think about the numbers. Just try to go as hard as you can go.”
      Following him up in the second place is Bad Bunny’s new album “YHLQMDLG”. Earning 179,000 equivalent album units, the album is now the highest-charting all-Spanish-language album ever on the Billboard 200 chart. It tops Mana’s “Amar es Combatir” which previously held the title after debuting at No. 4 in 2006.
      BTS’ (Bangtan Boys) “Map of the Soul: 7”, meanwhile, drops from No. 1 to No. 3 in its second week with 84,000 equivalent album units. The No. 4 spot in this week’s chart is occupied by James Taylor’s “American Standard” which opens with 82,000. Of the starting sum, 81,000 is in album sales as it’s boosted by a concert ticket/album sale redemption.
      Roddy Ricch’s “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” stays in last week’s position at No. 5 with 63,000 equivalent album units, while Justin Bieber’s “Changes” falls two spots from No. 4 to No. 6 with 62,000 units.
      G Herbo’s (Lil Herb) “PTSD” debuts at No. 7 with 59,000 equivalent album units. At No. 8 is rock band Five Finger Death Punch’s new album “F8”, with Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” further falling from No. 7 to No. 9 with 50,000 equivalent album units. YoungBoy Never Broke Again closes out the Top 10 with “Still Flexin, Still Steppin” that descends hard from No. 2 to No. 10 with 44,000 equivalent album units.
      Top Ten Billboard 200 (Week of March 14, 3020):
      “My Turn” – Lil Baby (197,000 units)
      “YHLQMDLG” – Bad Bunny (179,000 units)

      Artist of the Week: BTS

      by

      Not only depending on their luck, this seven-piece group from South Korea has a lot more to show in terms of musicality and performance with their fourth Korean-language studio album ‘Map of the Soul: 7′.
      Mar 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – BTS (Bangtan Boys) fandom just won’t die down anytime soon. While for some artists it’s hard to stay on top, this K-pop group proves that they’re not a short-lived sensation. After first breaking into the U.S. Billboard 200 at 171 with “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2” in 2015, their worldwide popularity has been rapidly growing in the last two years, and now they have come back even bigger with “Map of the Soul: 7”.
      The album’s title has some significant meanings for the boys. Seven is the number of the members and this year will be their seventh year since their debut in June 2013. Moreover, seven is believed to be a lucky number. But they’re definitely not only depending on their luck for the success of the album.
      Prior to the album’s release, BTS teased it with comeback trailer titled “Interlude: Shadow” performed by member Suga, first single “Black Swan” and second comeback trailer featuring J-Hope’s song “Outro: Ego”. “Black Swan”, which was released on January 17, peaked at No. 57 on Billboard 100. They further hyped up the album’s release with the first performance of “Black Swan” on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on January 28.
      “Map of the Soul: 7” finally arrived on February 21, ten months since their last album “Map of the Soul: Persona” and after their extended period of vacation last year. The long wait was really worth it as the album received widespread acclaim from music critics. Commercially, its success surpassed its predecessors with over 4 million pre-orders worldwide, breaking the record which they previously set with 2.68 million pre-orders for “Map of the Soul: Persona”. It also debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200 with 422,000 album-equivalent units, marking BTS’ fourth US number-one album and making them the fastest band since The Beatles to have four number one albums in less than two years.
      The album’s lead single “On” was also released on February 21 along with dance-oriented “Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima” music video, which showcases its epic choreography. The song peaked at No. 4 on Billboard 100, their highest on the chart to date after “Boy With Luv” which made it to No. 8, and at No. 1 on Billboard’s worldwide chart.
      Often talking about social issues and mental health with their “bubble gum pop” music, BTS again expresses their feelings and experiences as they’re dealing with the downside of fame and their problems as young adults in general. In “On” for example, the band “reflects on their calling and mindset as artists during the seven years.” Meanwhile, in “UGH” the band’s rapper line, RM, J-Hope and Suga, expresses their anger toward malicious haters. Furthermore, in “My Time”, Jungkook sings about his emotions ever since he was a trainee to now.
      As part of the album’s promotions, BTS appeared in a special episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, during which they took a tour of New York and performed “On” at the Grand Central, and appeared in “The Late Late Show with James Corden” popular segment “Carpool Karaoke” in February. The guys are next scheduled to embark on “Map of the Soul Tour”, which would kick off on April 11 in Seoul. However, the tour dates in Seoul were canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak. It’s currently unknown if this worldwide health crisis would affect other dates, but Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook are still scheduled to stop by big cities like Chicago, Toronto, London and Berlin.

I thought it would be alright but it got really nostalgic and did bring back a lot of memories,” DJ Jazzie B said at the unveiling of their award on Friday, March 06 on behalf of the band. “Forever, whatever, it will always be London for me. A happy face, a thumping bass, Camden I love you.”

      Soul II Soul are the latest musicians to be feted at the monument site, dedicated to acts which represented the neighbourhood vibe of Camden in their music. The Who, Madness and late singer Amy Winehouse, who resided in the North London community before she died, are also on the Music Walk of Fame.

      Queen, Whitesnake and Slipknot Pull Out of Shows Over Coronavirus Concerns

      by

      WENN

      Queen are working out with promoter to reschedule their May concert in Paris, while Whitesnake postpone their Japan tour and Slipknot back out of their entire upcoming Asian tour.
      Mar 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Queen, Whitesnake and Slipknot have postponed shows due to growing coronavirus concerns.
      Queen have been forced to reschedule a May concert at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, France, following a government decree to cancel all indoor events over 5,000 capacity until 31 May in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, while Whitesnake and Slipknot have pulled entire tours to protect bandmates and crew.
      Queen are “currently working with the promoter to try to reschedule the date”, according to a statement. “We will make a further announcement at the earliest opportunity,” it reads. “Please keep hold of your tickets, which would be valid for the new date.”
      No other Queen + Adam Lambert shows have been affected at this time, but Whitesnake and Slipknot are not taking any chances, pulling tour dates.

      A spokesman for David Coverdale’s band says: “We regret to announce that Whitesnake’s Japan tour which had been scheduled for March has been unavoidably postponed due to the ongoing threat of the coronavirus. We deeply apologise to all parties concerned, especially those customers who bought tickets and have been looking forward to the Whitesnake shows.”
      Slipknot have also postponed their entire upcoming Asian tour, including their two-day Knotfest Japan festival, citing “global health concerns”.
      “The safety and well-being of the band’s fans always comes first,” a statement reads. “Furthermore in this case, the bands and artists, crew and local employees are also equally effected, and as such, this was the only responsible decision that could be made.”

      Whitesnake and Slipknot follow Green Day, who scrapped Asian dates earlier this week., while Sons of Apollo have axed the remainder of their European dates, claiming “governments have decided to shut down venues, restrict events, limit flight destinations, with no certainty for us and our promoting partners and that our shows can be guaranteed to happen (sic)”.

      Slipknot cancelled their show due to Coronavirus outbreak.

      Meanwhile, city officials in Austin, Texas have shut down next week’s (begins March 09) SXSW festival due to the coronavirus spread, which to date has infected 100,000 people around the world.

      Christina Aguilera's New 'Mulan' Soundtrack 'Loyal Brave True' Stresses 'Vulnerability and Strength'

      by

      Instagram

      Speaking of her return to her Disney roots 22 years after singing ‘Reflection’ for the 1998 original movie, the ‘Dirrty’ songstress tweets, ‘ ‘Mulan has been such a special part of my life and this is a beautiful continuation of the legacy.’
      Mar 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Christina Aguilera has made a return to her Disney root with a new soundtrack for “Mulan”. More than two decades after lending her voice to “Reflection” from the 1998 original movie, the five-time Grammy Award winner sings about “vulnerability and strength” in “Loyal Brave True”, which has been released on Friday, March 6.
      “My new song, ‘Loyal Brave True,’ represents the fine balance between vulnerability and strength,” the 39-year-old hitmaker said in a statement. “The film ‘Mulan’ and the song ‘Reflection’ coincided with getting me my first record deal. It’s amazing to come back to such an incredible movie that’s full of power and meaning, and that meaning holds the test of time: staying true to yourself, being who you are, and teaching how to be fearless.”
      “Loyal Brave True”, which integrated classic Chinese instruments to orchestral melodies, has Jamie Hartman, Harry Gregson-Williams, Rosi Golan and Billy Crabtree as its writers. Hartman has also served as the soundtrack’s producer, while the upcoming movie’s director Niki Caro helmed its music video which is scheduled for release later in March.

      The song hears Christina belting his powerful vocal in the chorus which dealt with the titular character’s self-doubt. “Should I ask myself in the water what a warrior would do?/ Tell me underneath my armor, am I loyal, brave, and true?” she croons. “Losing is easy/ Winning takes bravery/ I am a tiger’s fool/ Out in the open/ No one to save me/ The kindest of whispers are cruel.”
      Aside from “Loyal Brave True”, Aguilera has recorded a new version of “Reflection” for the new movie that will come out in theaters on March 27. Through her social media account, she shared with her followers, “#Mulan and #Reflection have been such a special part of my life and this film is a beautiful continuation of this legacy.” She added, “And the #LoyalBraveTrue single is out now! Hope you love it as much as I do.”

      On why Aguilera was once again chosen for the soundtracks, Walt Disney Studios president of music and soundtracks Mitchell Leib explained, “Her original performance of ‘Reflection’ from the animated film when she was a then 16-year-old unknown holds its appropriate place in the history of music and was a launch pad for her unparalleled career that would follow. … I think these songs will touch today’s moviegoers in that powerful way we saw 22 years ago.”
