		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Bad Bunny</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has added another major chart milestone to his career with </span><b>“DtMF,” </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">which now holds the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The latest chart update confirms that the song reached its 57th week in the top position on the chart dated May 2. That moves “DtMF” </span><b>past “Despacito,” the Luis Fonsi </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">and Daddy Yankee hit featuring Justin Bieber, which previously held the record with 56 weeks at No. 1.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The achievement gives Bad Bunny a new place in the history of Latin music charts, where long-running hits often reflect both streaming strength and broad listener support over time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“DtMF” has remained a steady presence since its release, connecting with fans across platforms and continuing to perform well beyond its initial debut period. For Bad Bunny, the record adds to a list of chart accomplishments that have helped define his role as </span><b>one of the most influential Latin artists of his generation.</b></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Josh Groban </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">is set to be honored with a star on the </span><b>Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 6, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">adding another major recognition to a career that has crossed music, theater, film, and television.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The announcement places the ceremony just two days before the release of </span><b>Groban’s new album, Cinematic. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The project is built around songs connected to movies, continuing his long-running mix of classical influence, pop vocals, and theatrical storytelling.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Groban first became widely known in the early 2000s and has since built a career around powerful vocal performances, major tours, and stage work. He has also earned attention on Broadway, including leading roles that showed a different side of his performing style.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Walk of Fame honor recognizes entertainers with a lasting public profile and a clear impact in their field. For Groban, the star reflects more than record sales or chart success. It marks a</span><b> career shaped by range, consistency, and a strong connection with audiences </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">across different parts of entertainment.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Noah Kahan</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> released his fourth studio album, </span><b>The Great Divide, on April 24,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and fans responded quickly. In a weekly fan-voted poll, the Vermont folk-rock artist took 60% of the vote, landing ahead of Kehlani&#8217;s self-titled new album at 17%, and well clear of the other releases in the running.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The album has been four years in the making. His last full release, Stick Season, came out in 2022 and became a slow-burning cultural moment that earned him two Grammy nominations. The Great Divide is a 17-track follow-up co-produced alongside </span><b>Gabe Simon and Aaron Dessner,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> recorded across studios in Nashville, Vermont, and upstate New York.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The title track dropped earlier in the year and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his highest-charting single to date. The album itself explores the personal weight of sudden success, and how fame shifts relationships with family, friends, and the place you grew up.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Netflix documentary, Noah Kahan: Out of Body, dropped in March and adds further context to where the album is coming from. His </span><b>North American tour kicks off June 11 in Orlando, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">with dates extending through December and into Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On April 25, Colombian urban artist</span><b> Ryan Castro </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">performed his first-ever stadium show at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellin, drawing a crowd of </span><b>47,000 people for the homecoming finale of his Sende World Tour.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Castro, who grew up in Pedregal, a working-class neighborhood in northeast Medellin, opened the show with a cinematic entrance, appearing on screen aboard a National Police helicopter before stepping onto the main stage in a yellow suit, holding a microphone styled after the colors of a Curacao sunset. The production pulled from his full catalog, blending reggaeton, dancehall, and island sounds across both a main stage and a second platform he reached by riding a jet ski over the crowd.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Guest appearances included </span><b>Sean Paul,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> who performed alongside </span><b>Castro on the BA BA BAD </b>r<span style="font-weight: 400;">emix and played several of his own classics. Colombian artists Mora, Hamilton, Jorge Celedon, and Zion also joined the night&#8217;s lineup.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The tour had already hit Madrid and Bogota before closing in Medellin. Next stops include Lima on May 2 and Santiago on May 13.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Megan Thee Stallion</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was seen tearing up during a recent appearance at </span><b>Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> just days after confirming her split from <strong>N</strong></span><b>BA player Klay Thompson.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The moment came during the curtain call, where she joined the cast onstage and appeared visibly moved as the audience applauded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The appearance followed her public confirmation that the relationship had ended. In a statement shared earlier, she spoke about the importance of trust, loyalty, and mutual respect, making it clear that those values matter most to her in any partnership.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The emotional reaction onstage drew attention as it came so soon after the breakup news. While no direct connection was made between the two events, the timing placed her personal life in focus during a high-profile outing.</span></p>
<p><b>Moulin Rouge! The Musical, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">known for its dramatic storytelling and high-energy performances, often brings strong audience reactions. In this case, it also became the backdrop for a personal moment that quickly spread across social media.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking during a recent public conversation, </span><b>Alicia Keys </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">addressed what she sees as a persistent imbalance in the music business. She explained that despite years of progress, </span><b>the industry still operates in ways that favor men</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, particularly in roles like production and engineering.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keys pointed to her organization, She Is the Music, as a direct response to that gap. The initiative focuses on increasing opportunities and visibility for women across all areas of the industry. She noted that change is happening, but not fast enough to reflect the level of talent currently entering the field.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the same discussion,</span><b> Keys also spoke about creative ownership and the pressure artists face in a digital environment.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Alongside her partner Swizz Beatz, she has been exploring new ways to present art and music outside traditional systems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She also acknowledged the growing </span><b>role of artificial intelligence and social media</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, describing both as tools that can either support or complicate artistic expression, depending on how they are used.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Madonna</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is linking her next album era with a platform closely connected to </span><b>LGBTQ+ culture.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> In a new campaign announcement, the pop icon has teamed up with Grindr for an </span><b>exclusive vinyl edition tied to Confessions II,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> her upcoming follow-up to Confessions on a Dance Floor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The partnership includes a limited picture disc vinyl release, along with exclusive in-app content connected to the album rollout. The move places the project directly in front of a community that has long been central to Madonna’s audience and cultural impact.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Confessions II continues the dance-focused sound of her 2005 album, which became one of the defining releases of her mid-2000s career. Madonna has also reunited with producer </span><b>Stuart Price, who worked on the original record and helped shape its club-driven style.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The exclusive vinyl adds another collectible piece to the album campaign as anticipation builds around the new project. For fans, it connects Madonna’s dance music history with a modern digital platform built around queer social connection and visibility.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Kat Graham</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> says her scenes as </span><b>Diana Ross were removed from the Michael Jackson biopic </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael because of legal considerations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress, who had been cast to play Ross in the film, explained on social media that </span><b>“certain legal considerations” </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">affected a few scenes, including the ones she filmed. She added that she was grateful for the experience and praised the cast and crew involved in the project.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ross was an important figure in Jackson’s early career and personal life. The two appeared together in </span><b>The Wiz,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and Ross was closely associated with Jackson during his rise from child star to solo icon. Her absence from the movie has therefore drawn attention from fans and entertainment outlets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biopic, </span><b>directed by Antoine Fuqua, stars Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and focuses mainly on Jackson’s early life, The Jackson 5 years, and his solo rise through the late 1980s. Reports say the movie went through changes and reshoots after legal constraints affected parts of the story, including material connected to later controversies in Jackson’s life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Graham did not give full details about the legal issues behind the cuts. For now, her version of Diana Ross will not appear in the final release of Michael, despite the role having been publicly announced during production.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Megan Thee Stallion</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has confirmed that her </span><b>relationship with NBA player Klay Thompson has ended,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> after addressing the breakup in a public statement tied to recent social media activity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rapper said trust, fidelity, and respect are essential in any relationship, making clear that those standards are not up for debate. Her comments followed posts in which she accused Thompson of cheating and questioned his commitment to monogamy.</span></p>
<p><b>Megan and Thompson went public with their relationship in 2025 </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">and were seen together at several events. Their appearances had drawn attention from both music and sports fans, especially as the couple seemed comfortable sharing parts of their relationship publicly.</span></p>
<p><b>The split now closes that chapter for Megan,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> who said she is focusing on herself and moving forward with clarity. She did not offer further details beyond her statement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The situation remains a personal matter between the two, but Megan’s message was direct. She framed the breakup around boundaries, self-respect, and the importance of knowing what she will and will not accept in a relationship.</span></p>
