Karol G’s Coachella magic sends her streaming soaring, while four songs from her first weekend setlist (on April 12) re-enter Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart (dated April 25).

The first Latina headliner in the history of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Karol G’s catalog of songs generated 40.5 million chart-contributing on-demand official streams in the United States during the April 10-16 tracking week, according to Luminate. That sum translates to a 34% boost from the week prior, when her catalog logged 30.3 million (tracking week April 3-9).

Among Karol G’s first weekend spot, four songs re-enter the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, which incorporates airplay, streaming activity and digital sales into its formula. Leading the resurgence is her former No. 1, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” which re-appears at No. 6, driven largely by 3.8 million official chart-contributing streams, equating to a 26% growth.

After previously dominating for 14 consecutive weeks at No. 1, the song remains Karol’s longest reign among her nine chart-toppers. Plus, it is tied for the second-most weeks at No. 1 for a song by a female soloist, unaccompanied by another act, with Daniela Romo’s “De Mi Enamorate” (in 1986-87). In top spot is Yuri’s “Que Te Pasa,” with 16 weeks in 1988.

Among songs by women, in terms of total weeks at No. 1, including collaborative tracks, Shakira continues to rule through “La Tortura,” with Alejandro Sanz, which pulled 25 weeks atop in 2005.

Karol G’s “Latina Foreva” gains momentum with a 57% surge, logging 2.2 million streams. The boost propels the song back to No. 15, after its debut and peak at No. 3 in June 2025.

No. 14-peaking “Amargura” returns at No. 19 with 2 million streams, up 34% during the tracking period. Meanwhile, former chart-topper “Provenza,” which spent one week at No. 1 in 2022, reappears at No. 22 with 1.9 million streams, up 29%.

Back to “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” the song also makes a splash on a global level. It climbs 153-115 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. Plus, it rises 124-109 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart.

Gains for Karol G’s headlining turn during the festival’s second weekend (on April 19) will be reflected on next week’s charts (dated May 1).

From the baseball field to Sabrinawood, Geena Davis and Madonna have reunited.

Thirty-four years after starring in A League of Their Own together, Davis and Madonna once again ended up on the same stage, this time at Coachella. The Queen of Pop and the Academy Award-winning actress were reunited when Sabrina Carpenter tapped them to make surprise appearances during her Coachella weekend 2 headlining set on Friday. Davis expressed her excitement over seeing her former co-star by sharing a new photo of the duo to Instagram on Wednesday (April 22). Of course, she referenced their film’s characters in the caption.

“Mae – so happy to see you again! Love, Dottie,” Davis wrote.

One fan won the comments section by writing of the photo: “I know there’s no crying in baseball but I’m literally crying.”

Both Davis and Madonna played pretty significant roles in the second Sabrinawood — Carpenter’s performance inspired by a reimagined Hollywood. Davis, with dyed blonde hair and in the driver’s seat of a vintage car, portrayed an older version of the “Espresso” singer. While at a fictional drive-in movie theater, “Older Sabrina” delivered a monologue reflecting on how her niece never got to see her as the youthful musician she once was. (In a fitting reference, Carpenter’s weekend 1 older self was portrayed by Davis’ Thelma & Louise co-star Susan Sarandon.)

Madonna’s role in Sabrinawood was very different from Davis’: The fellow blond diva took to the stage to perform the Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers “Like a Prayer” and “Vogue” and a yet-unreleased duet with Carpenter. The same day she hit the stage with the “Please Please Please” singer, Madonna released her new song “I Feel So Free,” the first taste of her upcoming album Confessions II.

Jack Antonoff is calling out Ticketmaster (again).

The live event giant announced Wednesday (April 22) that it discovered “scalpers with thousands of illegal tickets” to Harry Styles‘ upcoming 30-date residency at Madison Square Garden. In a statement posted to X, global president of Ticketmaster Saumil Mehta said the company caught scalpers using multiple accounts to buy tickets beyond pre-set limits and resell them at exorbitant prices for profit. In response, Ticketmaster canceled thousands of purchases, none of which it claims had been fans’, and is working with Styles’ tour to sell the tickets back to fans at original prices. The tickets that were refunded and are being resold were all originally priced under $130.

While some fans were happy to see that Ticketmaster reversed scalpers’ purchases and applauded Styles’ team for getting tickets into the hands of real fans, some were not as pleased with Ticketmaster.

“This is just PR. Trust me,” posted one Taylor Swift fan in response. “They don’t actually give a f— about us and that is very evident in the way they treated the Eras Tour.”

“Wow if only you wouldn’t make it so easy for scalpers to snatch up all the tickets you wouldn’t even have to tweet this rn,” wrote another.

One artist voice decided to chime in on the situation: Jack Antonoff. The 13-time Grammy winner was clearly unimpressed with Ticketmaster’s claims when he responded to the company’s X post with a quote reply of his own.

“You caught you?” Antonoff wrote, echoing the statements of some fans.

Fans were happy to see a major artist calling out Ticketmaster — which, along with its parent company Live Nation, was recently found liable for violating federal and state antitrust laws.

“Yes Jack,” one account replied alongside a GIF of Leonardo DiCaprio clapping.

“Jack you are so incredibly messy and I am living for it,” another wrote. “Yes king call their a—es out!”

Fans hoping to get their hands on the newly refunded Harry Styles tickets to his Madison Square Garden shows can follow the ticket request process outlined by Ticketmaster on X.

Dave Mason, the celebrated singer, songwriter and musician who was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as a co-founder of Traffic, died Sunday (April 19) at the age of 79.

“On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Dave Mason,” reads a statement from his publicists. Mason, the message continues, “lived a remarkable life devoted to the music and the people he loved.”

Born in post-war England, in 1946, Mason rose to prominence with the rock band Traffic, for which he contributed writing credits and lead vocals for such tracks such as “Hole in My Shoe” and “Feelin Alright?”. Mason also enjoyed a impressive solo career, which got underway in 1970 with his debut solo album, Alone Together, which peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard 200, and featured the Billboard Hot 100 hit “Only You Know and I Know,” one of four appearances on the national singles chart.

As a collaborator, Mason was a wanted man. Across the years, he recorded or performed with the likes of George Harrison, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson and others. His acoustic guitar work can be heard on Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower” and he played a part on George Harrison post-Beatles classic All Things Must Pass.

Traffic finally broke up in 1974 after releasing 11 albums, four of which landed cracked the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Traffic reunited two decades later to tour in 1993-94, while Mason hit the road with Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi in 1998.

In 2004, Mason was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member Traffic, in a class that included Prince, ZZ Top, Jackson Browne, and Bob Seger. Bandmate Jim Capaldi and Steve Winwood performed “Dear Mr. Fantasy” at the ceremony. The following year, Capaldi died after a brief battle with stomach cancer, aged 60.

According to reps, Mason passed away peacefully at his home in Gardnerville, NV.

Mason is survived by his beloved wife and partner, Winifred Wilson, his daughter Danielle, nephew John (Trish) Leonard and niece Michelle Leonard, as well as his brothers in law Sloan (Claudia) Wilson and Walton (Barbara Sims) Wilson. He was preceded in death by his son, True and his sister, Valerie Leonard.
