Maná returns to the top of Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart for the first time in nearly nine years, with a new version of the 1992 hit “Vivir Sin Aire,” with Carin León (ranking dated Sept. 13).

The reimagined version of “Vivir Sin Aire” rallies 14-1 on the overall Latin Airplay list after a 60% boost in audience impressions, to 9.4 million, earned in the United States, in the week ending Sept. 4, according to Luminate.

The new No. 1 ends Mana’s hiatus from the summit since the band last ruled with “De Pies a Cabeza,” with Nicky Jam, in 2016. In sum, the band has banked 12 champs on Latin Airplay, including two eight-week rulers, “Labios Compartidos” and “Lluvia Al Corazón” in 2006 and 2011, respectively.

As the new song takes over, Maná ties with Gloria Estefan and Juanes for the fifth-most rulers among Latin pop acts since Latin Airplay began in 1994. They trail Enrique Iglesias (32), Shakira (24), Ricky Martin (18) and Luis Fonsi (13).

For León, the collaboration marks his fifth time reigning the chart, with three of those landing in 2025. Curiously, León’s path to No. 1 on Latin Airplay No. 1 seems to follow an “M” formula: from “Llorar y Llorar,” with Mau y Ricky (2012), “Según Quién,” with Maluma (four weeks atop in 2023) and now his team-up with Maná, the letter “M” has become a lucky charm in his collaborations.

“Vivir Sin Aire” surges to No. 1 assisted by three Univision stations: KCSA (Los Angeles), WOJO (Chicago), and KLNO (Dallas) are leading the charge as the song’s biggest promoters during the tracking week.

All three cities are part of Maná’s Vivir Sin Aire Tour which kicked off Sept. 5, in San Antonio. In addition to two nights in Chicago, the group sports four dates at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. (Los Angeles area) in November.

Beyond its coronation on the overall Latin Airplay chart, the song also rules the Regional Mexican Airplay with 6.6 million audience impressions, up 95%. Plus, it jumps 3-1 on the Latin Pop Airplay ranking.

The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards was the top-rated entertainment program of the night, hitting a six-year viewership high. The show was seen by more than 5.5 million viewers, between its broadcast on CBS, simulcast on MTV and streaming on Paramount+.

This marked the first time the VMAs have aired on CBS, which could use a major pop music franchise. CBS will lose the Grammy Awards, which it has aired since 1973, after the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards telecast on Feb. 1. (In October 2024, The Recording Academy announced a new 10-year global deal for The Grammys to be exclusively simulcast on ABC, Hulu and Disney+ beginning in 2027.)

LL COOL J hosted last night’s VMAs. He previously co-hosted the show in 2022. (He also hosted the Grammys five times from 2012-16.)

Here are selected ratings highlights about the 2025 VMAs:

  • Watched by more than 5.5 million viewers, making it the night’s No. 1 entertainment program. The show competed with the Sunday Night Football time-period premiere (Raven vs. Bills) and finished second overall in its time period.
  • Most-watched day-of-event VMAs since the 2019 show, which was hosted by comedian Sebastian Maniscalco (the last time a comedian hosted the show). That was also the last pre-pandemic show. The pandemic was disruptive to TV viewing habits.
  • Audience was up 42% from last year’s airing on MTV and simulcast on other Paramount networks (3.91m). Last year’s show was hosted by Megan Thee Stallion.
  • Most-watched entertainment special on CBS since the Grammy Awards on Feb. 2.
  • Third-largest live-streamed entertainment event this year on Paramount+, behind only the Grammy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards (which aired on Jan. 11).
  • The VMAs’ voting campaign saw the best turnout in history, with 2.5 billion global votes, up 121% from last year (Source: Internal data via Telescope, 08/05/25-09/05/25).

On social media, the 2025 MTV VMAs set new records as the most viewed and most engaged VMAs in history.

  • 1 billion global video views, up 21% and 81.1 million engagements, up 6% from last year across owned social media accounts (Source: Sprinklr, 07/27/25-09/08/25).
  • #VMAs trended at No. 1 on X in the U.S. for three consecutive hours and in the top 10 for nine hours.
  • Globally, #VMA held the No. 1 worldwide trending spot on X for four consecutive hours, trended No. 1 in 12 countries (Source: Trends24, Getdaytrends, 09/07/25).

Critics generally praised the show. Billboard’s Joe Lynch wrote: “Hosted by LL COOL J, the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards were one of the best VMAs in recent memory, a smart mix of newcomers who brought their A-game (and inventive visuals) and veterans who demonstrated why they’ve lasted in the game so long.” Lynch particularly praised the performances by four of the hottest female singers in pop (Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga and Doja Cat) as well as the salute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.

Billboard’s Andrew Unterberger also generally liked the show, though he thought it sometimes lavished attention on legacy acts at the expense of contemporary stars. “Those contemporary artists were there on Sunday night (Sept. 7), and basically in full effect — superstars who’d already made their share of VMA history, and rising hitmakers who already seem poised to potentially do so in the future. And yet it could be easy to lose track of them with all the stage and screen time given to legacy artists. … It felt like a missed opportunity to really showcase the present and future, and finally let the past take a bit of a backseat.”

The 2025 VMAs were produced by Gunpowder & Sky. Bruce Gillmer, Den of Thieves co-founder Jesse Ignjatovic, and Barb Bialkowski were executive producers. Alicia Portugal was co-executive producer. Jackie Barba was executive in charge of production. Wendy Plaut was executive in charge of celebrity talent. Lisa Lauricella was executive in charge of music talent.

Another Planet Entertainment and Teragram Presents have tapped Jordan Anderson as senior talent buyer for The Bellwether in Los Angeles. Anderson will oversee programming for the 1,500-capacity Main Room, the in-house restaurant stage at The Virginian, the Looking Glass patio lounge and the newly opened 600-capacity room Camille’s. She will also contribute to bookings at Teragram Presents’ downtown L.A. venues — the Teragram Ballroom and Moroccan Lounge — while supporting Another Planet’s wider roster across the state.

Anderson arrives from the Troubadour, where she set a record in 2024 with more than 300 shows in a single year, spotlighting artists like Chappell Roan, Medium Build and Reneé Rapp. She built her career in Nashville with roles at Marathon Music Works, Exit/In, AEG Nashville and AC Entertainment before moving to L.A. in 2021. Recognized on Billboard’s 2025 Pride List, she also co-chairs the National Independent Venue Association’s “Live List” initiative.

“As I take my next step, I’m excited to join the legendary teams at Another Planet and Teragram,” Anderson said in a statement. “The Bellwether is building its own vibrant history in LA, and I’m passionate about discovering and elevating new artists.”

“Jordan’s track record speaks for itself,” said Allen Scott, president of concerts & festivals for Another Planet Entertainment. “She has consistently championed artists early in their careers and created opportunities for them to connect with audiences in meaningful ways. Her experience, passion, and vision for live music make her an invaluable addition to the team as we take The Bellwether into its next chapter.”

Teragram Presents founder Michael Swier added, “Jordan’s booking prowess has been so impressive, impacting the market to the degree that all in the business took notice. Her love of discovery and promotion of acts is always visible, and to me, the essence of a true booker.”

The Bellwether is located at 333 S. Boylston Street in L.A.

Fort Lauderdale residents could see a temporary change in the color of their tap water beginning Monday as the city prepares its water treatment system for a major upgrade, officials said.

A Friday night home run during the Miami Marlins‘ game against the Philadelphia Phillies at LoanDepot Park turned sour — then sweet — for a young fan after a confrontation over the ball went viral on social media.

His family said he was a “hero in many ways.”

A 15-year-old will be charged as an adult after investigators spotted a blood-stained security shirt and a Glock in his bedroom following the death of his older brother — whose body was found dumped in a Broward canal, court documents show.

The woman wandered away from the camp base to look for water, authorities said.

The 2025 VMAs have wrapped, with Lady Gaga walking away from the USB Arena in Elmont, N.Y., with the most Moon Person trophies this year – four in total. Well, technically Gaga left the arena before winning all four of those VMAs – after all, she had a headlining show to perform at Madison Square Garden – but she was there long enough to collect one in person before jetting off to Manhattan.

Hosted by LL COOL J, the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards were one of the best VMAs in recent memory, a smart mix of newcomers who brought their A-game (and inventive visuals) and veterans who demonstrated why they’ve lasted in the game so long. Of the latter category, each one received some sort of Moon Person trophy during the three-hour telecast, with Mariah Carey receiving the Video Vanguard Award, Ricky Martin collecting the Latin Icon Award and Busta Rhymes getting the Rock the Bells Visionary Award.

As with any awards show, the awards are important, sure – and based on the deeply personal acceptance speeches from ROSÉ and Ariana Grande, they seem to mean quite a lot – but most viewers are tuning in to see some incredible live music. And this year’s VMAs did not disappoint.

We’re running down our ranking of the 2025 VMA performances, from worst to best, below. We’re not including the side stage performances (doesn’t really seem fair to rate a 70-second performance against a full-on song) or the pre-recorded halftime show from Gunna (though that was pretty sick). All that being said, here we go.
