A$AP Rocky‘s forthcoming fourth album Don’t Be Dumb was slated to arrive on Aug. 30, but in his new Billboard cover story that came out Thursday (Aug. 22), he revealed that he’s pushing the project to the fall.

“LEAKS & SAMPLE CLEARANCES ARE DISRUPTING THE ALBUM. ITS BEEN 6 YEARS & I WANNA MAKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER. IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT,” he wrote on X in response to NFR Podcast sharing Billboard‘s reporting about Rocky’s delayed album release.

The Harlem rapper (real name Rakim Mayers) told Billboard that Don’t Be Dumb will feature frequent collaborator and friend Tyler, The Creator and Morrissey and an all-star roster of producers, including Pharrell Williams, Mike Dean, Hitkidd, Madlib, Metro Boomin and The Alchemist. “I sat and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f—ing with it heavy,” he said, adding that the Beetlejuice director was “rocking his head” while listening to it. “He’s like, ‘Wow! I didn’t know you made that kind of music!’”

Don’t Be Dumb will arrive six years after Testing, which was released on May 25, 2018, via ASAP Worldwide, Polo Grounds Music and RCA Records. The 15-track project featured collaborations with Moby, T.I. and Kid Cudi (“A$AP Forever REMIX”), FKA twigs (“Fukk Sleep”), Skepta (“Praise The Lord (Da Shine)”), Kodak Black (“CALLDROPS”), Juicy J (“Gunz N Better”), French Montana (“Brotha Man”) and Frank Ocean (“Purity”). It reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Taylor Swift breaks her silence on the canceled Vienna shows, and Coldplay’s Chris Martin pays tribute to Taylor. Keep watching for more!

Tetris Kelly:

Taylor Swift is speaking out about her canceled shows in Vienna as Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Maggie Rogers pay tribute to her in that same stadium. Taylor Swift just completed a string of shows in London after having to shut down previous shows after authorities discovered a terrorist plot. She has now spoken out saying, “Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, but I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”

And if anyone thinks she took too long to address, she added: “I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows. In cases like this one, ‘silence,’ is actually showing restraint.” Coldplay has opened the doors at the same venue in Austria and Maggie Rogers joined Chris Martin for “Love Story” as a tribute. 

Lady Gaga took to Instagram on Thursday (Aug. 22) to celebrate the love she and Bruno Mars have received for their swoon-worthy new collaboration, “Die With a Smile.”

“Watching fans from all over the world celebrate this music has meant so much to me, to see the words of the song touch your heart and the video provoke this huge wave of dancing and fun is beautiful to watch and I’m so grateful,” she wrote alongside a series of photos, in which Gaga is seen in her retro-style attire from the track’s accompanying music video. “Thank you thank you thank you for loving our song i love you for real and i hope the message of love we shared will continue to create special moments for you all in your lives—I know it does in mine every day. The power of music is big and your love of this song reminded me of that.”

Shortly after the project dropped last week, the Joker star and “Uptown Funk!” hitmaker gave “Die With a Smile” its live debut at Mars’ Thursday night (Aug. 15) concert at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. For the show, he wore a cowboy hat, while Gaga again sported bee-hive hair akin to her look in the music video, maintaining the song’s retro feel.

Following the drop, Gaga took to TikTok to share a video in which she’s seen singing along to her freshly released collab, rocking a bright blue eye makeup look as she sweetly cradles a tiny French Bulldog.

In the 24 hours after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, streams on the former’s The Greatest Love Story Never Told documentary — which dove into the couple’s rekindled romance after a 20-year split — skyrocketed.

According to Luminate, U.S. viewership of the Prime Video flick jumped from 10.7k minutes watched on Tuesday (Aug. 20) — the day the singer filed to legally dissolve her marriage to the actor after two years together — to 354.1k minutes watched on Wednesday (Aug. 21). That makes for a 3,000% increase in just one day.

Chronicling the process of making her most recent album This Is Me … Now, the documentary found Lopez recounting how she and Affleck fell back in love nearly two decades after they called off their original engagement in 2004. They first dated in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli but called it quits two years later, only to get back together in 2021 and finally tie the knot a year later.

The marriage marked the “Jenny From the Block” singer’s fourth wedding, following Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares teenagers Max and Emme. Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner; the exes are parents to Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.

“I never thought that he and I would get back together,” Lopez told Billboard of Affleck ahead of the premiere of Greatest Love Story Never Told. “I just just couldn’t give up on idea that there was something amazing out there for me, even when it got really bad — and it did at times. I always believed deep, deep down to not give up completely. It wasn’t until I got to the point where I was really OK on my own and not having to be in a relationship when I feel like universe kind of opened up and said, ‘Well here you go.’”

“Then to have this kind of crazy, strange, magical, surrealistic plot twist where I wound up back with that person, it was insane and it was also very inspiring,” she added at the time of the doc’s corresponding album, which debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200. “So I went back in the studio, and in the way that [2002’s] This Is Me… Then captured that first moment in time, I wanted to capture this moment in time.”

When Home Rule Records owner Charvis Campbell got a cold call from the Office of the Vice President of the United States on May 3, 2023, he felt the way most people would have when confronted by the same scenario: perplexed.

“It felt like an interview, like a background check,” Campbell tells Billboard. “When we were done, I was like, ‘Wait, this is kind of weird.’” 

But the calls continued. Next, VP Kamala Harris’ representative asked if anyone from the Uptown Washington, D.C., record store would be in the shop that day and mentioned that someone from the office might stop by. Then, Campbell got another call from a different representative who strongly suggested he stick around. The next thing he knew, the Secret Service came to inspect the 2,700 sq. ft. independent record store — and then the vice president followed.  

With a swarm of press around Vice President Harris, Campbell tried to help her around the store by asking what she might be interested in. “I’m like, ‘Okay, you want to talk about Coltrane?’ and she was like, ‘No, I want Mingus.’ She was looking for the real jazz,” says Campbell. “She had that keen sense to want some real hardcore music.”  

On May 9, Harris posted a video on Instagram that showed her walking away from HR Records — which specializes in used jazz, soul, R&B, funk and more — with three vinyl records: Charles Mingus’ Let My Children Hear Music (“one of the greatest jazz performers ever”);  Roy AyersEverybody Loves the Sunshine (one of her “favorite albums of all time”); and Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald’s “beautiful” collaborative 1959 album, Porgy and Bess

“It was one of those things that wasn’t planned,” says Campbell, adding that Vice President Harris asked about the challenges of running his small business and engaged with several people who happened to be in the shop. “It was very unexpected, but sincere in the sense of her enjoying the music and wanting to learn more about the shop.

“For me,” Campbell adds, “it was, ‘There’s a lot of other places you can be right now, but the fact that you took the time says you’re supportive of small businesses, but also of our shop.’” 

After Harris’ visit and her subsequent clinching of the Democratic nomination for president, Campbell says there has been a notable increase in HR’s social media engagement, and out-of-town visitors will stop by to take a photo where Harris once was. It’s been a boon for one of the rare Black-owned record stores in the country (Campbell estimates there are only about 20 to 30 across the nation), not to mention for such a young establishment.

Campbell and his business partner Michael Bernstein opened HR Records in 2018 with no music business experience between them (though Bernstein had worked as an independent musician many years prior). Campbell had been driving up to Baltimore from D.C. on a regular basis to purchase vinyl from the small independent shop East-West Records until its owner, Bill Coates, informed Campbell the store would be closing for good.

“I would tease the owner and say, ‘Hey, if we bring this to D.C., we’ll make some money,’” says Campbell. “Being the wise sage that he was he said, ‘No, you don’t want to get into the record business.’” 

Undaunted, Campbell bought Coates’ entire collection and quickly realized he needed to do something with it. Initially, the collection went into the back of an antique shop for about six months, before Campbell and Bernstein landed on a location for HR Records. In 2018, they opened their doors on 702 Kennedy Street NW and began selling exclusively used vinyl.

HR Records does not lack for inventory, with thousands of records packed into bins and decorating the walls. (“Too many to count,” says Campbell.) 

In addition to vinyl, the store carries CDs and merch that each account for roughly 10% of its inventory. The other 80% is a curated collection of rare and used jazz, soul, reggae and African music records. While the store has participated in Record Store Day, Campbell found it overwhelming for such a small and niche shop. “I would prefer to have that ‘68 Blue Note on the wall as opposed to the reissue of it,” he says. “The reissue sounds great, but I’ll go for the original any day.” 

To fill the crates with rare vinyl, Campbell has had to develop relationships with a lot of private collectors, which he considers the hardest and best part of his job. “Once we sell that amazing Sun Ra or Coltrane or Eric Dolphy record, it’s gone,” Campbell says. “That’s what I think [Coates] was getting at. It’s going to take time and effort to build up a place where people feel comfortable giving you their records so that records are coming in the door.” 

It has taken years for Campbell to acquire many collections, but he says the effort has been worthwhile. Developing those private collector relationships has led to even greater opportunities, like creating The HR Music and Film Foundation, which was born from COVID-relief work the store did for musicians by hosting gigs at the small stage in the back of the shop, filming them and promoting the videos and artists on their social media. After roughly 15 shows, the HR team realized they could get more support if they formed a not-for-profit organization.

Today, the HR Music and Film Foundation produces live musical performances, concerts, film screenings and festivals. It also educates youth in the community through workshops, classes and hands-on experience, allowing them to develop confidence and skills in music production, audio production, filmmaking, photography and graphic design. The foundation’s first project was a documentary on Black Fire Records, a Black-owned independent jazz label that started in D.C. in the 1970s. In support of the film, the foundation launched a local outdoor festival with live music and an evening screening of the documentary in 2022. The third annual Home Rule Music Festival took place in June and the documentary aired on PBS in 2023. 

“When I think of the work we’ve done now with our foundation and the documentaries,” says Campbell, “It’s about using the medium of film combined with music which is so powerful in terms of being able to tell stories and educate people and educate our community.”

Taylor Swift’s favorite football accessory is trending online — and we’re not talking about a Super Bowl ring.

The pop star was spotted wearing Mejuri’s Heirloom Ring during the AFC Championship game in January and as Variety pointed out, the “Fortnight” singer wore it almost every time she attended a Kansas City Chiefs game last season.  

The dainty, $638 ring, features a semiprecious stone set atop a 14k band. Swift’s garnet ring is selling fast, according to the brand’s website, but the stone is also available honey quartz and sky-blue topaz, and re-stocked in London blue topaz while supplies last.

Taylor Swift's Mejuri Heirloom Ring: Where to Buy

Mejuri Heirloom Ring Garnet


Mejuri is a celeb-loved, affordable jewelry brand, and the Heirloom Ring is one of its brand’s bestsellers. The ring earned 4.8 stars on the company’s website from hundreds of customer reviews raving about the “stunning” and “elegant” design.

“The most beautiful everyday staple piece,” wrote on customer. “No regrets with this purchase at all!”

And of course, Swifties love it too. “I don’t have anything garnet so I treated myself,” reads a review from a self-proclaimed Swiftie. “It’s great. It fits so well. The stone is cut nicely and seated well. I like the design. Wear it all the time.”

Another shopper had been eyeing the ring for a while and finally decided to splurge, “I’m so glad I got it because it’s now a staple. Obsessed!!”

The Heirloom Ring is available exclusively at Mejuri’s website, but if you’re looking for a cheaper alternatives, try this Gemolio 14k ring is $299.99 at T.J. Maxx or this lovely garnet ring on sale for $210 at Etsy.

With football season starting soon, Swift’s ring could be headed to a suite at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs’ home arena. While it’s unclear if (or when) Swift will attend a game to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the Chiefs will face the Chicago Bears in a preseason game on Thursday. Swift, meanwhile, just wrapped up the European leg of the Eras Tour.

The second leg of the North American Eras tour starts in October. Get tickets here.

Buoyed by its acquisition of See Tickets from Vivendi and strong festival performance, German concert promoter and ticketing company CTS Eventim saw its consolidated revenue jump 21% to 793.6 million euros ($854.4 million) in the second quarter of the year, the company announced Thursday (Aug. 22). Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization fared even better, rising 23.3% to 110.0 million euros ($118.4 million). 

The live entertainment division had revenue of 631.1 million euros ($679.5 million), up 19.7% from the prior-year period, and adjusted EBITDA of 36.6 million euros ($39.4 million), up 5.0%. Four of the top five events took place outside CTS Eventim’s home market: Bruce Springsteen in Spain; and Ultimo, Pinguini Tattici Nucleari and Max Pezzali in Italy. The company’s festival portfolio — which includes Rock am Ring, Rock im Park and Nova Rock — is “off to a good start” and advance ticket sales for upcoming festivals “suggest the upward trend is set to continue,” according to a press release.

Ticketing revenue rose 28.5% to 175.2 million euros ($188.6 million) while the division’s adjusted EBITDA climbed 29.5% to 156.6 million euros ($168.6 million). Notably, See Tickets has been included in CTS Eventim’s accounting since that deal was completed in June. Three out of the top five ticketed events, including concerts by Italian rapper Ultimo and South American reggae group Natiruts, took place outside of Germany. 

“Through See Tickets and its associated live entertainment activities, we have not only enhanced our market position in two of our focus markets — the UK and the US — but also expanded our team to include additional highly motivated and highly qualified units,” CEO Klaus-Peter Schulenberg said in a statement. 

Based on the company’s performance in the first half of the year, the CTS Eventim executive board expects adjusted EBITDA “to grow significantly” in the latter half of 2024. The current quarter will get a boost from CTS Eventim’s role as an official ticketing partner for the recently concluded Paris 2024 Olympics and the Paralympic Games, which run from Aug. 28 to Sept. 8. 

Following that optimistic guidance, shares of CTS Eventim rose as much as 10.6% before closing at 87.25 euros ($93.94), up 5.8%. The day’s improvement brought the stock’s year-to-date gain to 39.4%. 

Looking further into the future, CTS Eventim is building a sustainable arena in Milan, Italy. Construction began in November and remains on schedule, according to the earnings release. Bidding for the naming rights and VIP suites will begin this fall. 

Minutes before midnight on Saturday at the Petronio Alvarez Festival in Cali, Colombia, the sound system stopped working with La Herencia de Timbiquí onstage. The crowd, estimated at 45,000 by festival staff, hardly missed a beat – and continued singing for several minutes.

It was not surprising that the audience, a mix of Colombians and visitors from the U.S., Europe and elsewhere, knew the band’s material; they are among the few groups from the South American country’s musically-rich Pacific coast that is the focus of the “Petronio,” as it’s known, to reach tens of millions of streams on Spotify. But outside Colombia, even as Latin music gains increasing traction at a global scale, relatively few fans are familiar with the rich diversity of Afro Latino music that comes from Colombia’s Pacific coast.

The Petronio, named after Petronio Alvarez — a railroad worker and composer of a song that has become a hymn to the region, “Mi Buenaventura” — may help remedy that. 

The event, which concluded its 28th edition on Monday, is held in Cali – the city with the second-highest Black population in Latin America, after Bahía, Brazil. Many of its Black residents immigrated here from the coast, driven by the drug war and other violence. They brought with them a rich cultural and musical heritage that includes genres steeped in folklore, like the brass-heavy chirimía and the marimba-driven currulao.

But those genres have never gained the prominence of others — like vallenato, cumbia or even the contemporary hybrid of rap and reggaetón.

Petronio has gained a higher international profile with each year; city government organizers estimated the 2024 festival would draw up to a half-million attendees, after beginning in 1997 with only five thousand locals in the stands. And this year, a visit from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who both spoke from the stage (Markle speaking in perfect Spanish) as guests of Colombian vice president Francia Marquez — the country’s first Black vice president — put new eyes on the event.

Markle spoke in perfect Spanish from the stage and the royal couple not only danced to and heard music from the Pacific coast, but also attended events focused on challenges facing the people of the historically-marginalized region.

Still, the question some ask is: What will it take for the Afro-Colombian sounds of the Pacific coast to reach a global audience?

One person drawn to the music was Inma Grass, founder of Spanish music company Altafonte, acquired by Sony Music in January.

Altafonte’s roster includes La Herencia de Timbiquí among its artists, and Grass came to Cali both to “brainstorm” a campaign to celebrate the band’s upcoming twenty-fifth anniversary and to meet and hear new artists. En route to the airport on Monday, Grass told Billboard that her stay of twelve days was her first visit to Colombia. “I’m shocked by the musical richness [of the Pacific coast],” she said. “It has global potential.”

Musicians offering special performances outside the event’s contest format of five categories included Nidia Góngora, also from the Pacific town of Timbiquí. Góngora has toured for years in Europe and the U.S., and is known for her groundbreaking collaborations with the English electronic producer Quantic, as well as roots music recordings with her group, Canalón de Timbiquí (the group earned a Latin Grammy nomination in 2019 for the album De Mar y Río.)

When Quantic, whose real name is Will Holland, began speaking with Góngora about collaborating in 2017, she first asked him to visit her homeland. “I was afraid that it would be an extractive relationship,” she told Billboard on the second day of the festival, sitting in a side room of the seafood restaurant Viche Positivo that she runs in Cali (viche is a liquor made from sugar cane). Góngora took Holland to her family’s house on the coast. “He came back with more respect,” she said, explaining that he “took on a commitment” to the marimba and percussion in her roots.

The result: Curao, an album with six tracks that have each been streamed more than a million times on Spotify, in which “two sounds come together without either one taking away attention from the other,” said the singer. The name refers to a traditional blend of viche and herbs.

Such musical blends are increasingly found at the Petronio in the “Libre” or Open category of competition.

The six-day fest also included after-hour events, such as one featuring Alexis Play, a singer from the Pacific coast who fuses horns from chirimía with electric guitar, conga drums – and rap. Even so, his concert included a brief chirimía presentation beforehand, as if to remind the audience about the artist’s musical roots.

Many musicians and others at the festival in Cali were concerned about these roots, and their makers, being lost without attention or support. A highlight was the first-night concert led by marimbero Hugo Candelario, who gathered a 26-person ensemble featuring a handful of marimba maestros, the oldest being 87-year-old Genaro Torres – and their young relatives. Candelario founded Grupo Bahía, winner at the first “Petronio,” in 1997.

The Guapi-born musician also spent several days during “Petronio” speaking to whoever would listen about the need for everything from video recordings of the maestros explaining their techniques, tuning and other musical knowledge, to music schools on the Pacific coast for keeping traditions alive and developing future talent. His audiences included Colombian government officials and a delegation from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

“The danger is that the ancestral magic and wisdom go to the grave with the maestros,” Candelario said. “The festival is not a panacea,” he added – meaning it can’t solve these problems by itself.

Yuri Buenaventura has told the story more than once of living penniless in Paris as a young man, and going on to sell more than a million copies of his album Herencia Africana, including a salsa version of the Jacques Brel song, “Ne Me Quitte Pas.” Now living in Cali and working on projects through a foundation he founded that include recording musicians from the Pacific coast, he worries that the festival might become “a caricature of itself” if musicians from the region don’t have a way to learn the ins and outs of the music industry, about such matters as production, marketing and songwriting royalties. This lack of knowledge also endangers the music, he said.

Altafonte’s Grass addressed the tension between conserving musical and other cultural traditions and reaching a global audience. “Many musicians are recuperating their roots, and mixing them with genres that young people listen to,” she said. “You can’t be a purist,” she added — drawing on the example of Spain’s flamenco, which drew many such debates for decades, only to see the artist Camarón de la Isla fuse the traditional form with other contemporary sounds, reaching great success.

“I think we have to conserve traditional groups and sounds, while at the same time I love the way music keeps evolving,” she said. “If it doesn’t, it’s not going to connect with new generations – mixing trap, rap, jazz, reggaetón, everything they feel in their world.”

One category above others at the festival lent itself to these sorts of fusion – the “Open” competition. After midnight on Monday morning, Chureo Callejero — a group of young musicians from Tumaco blending marimba, rap and snare drums — were announced as this year’s winners in the category.

Within hours of the victory, a person presenting himself as an Italian visitor to the festival wrote a comment under one of the few YouTube videos of the group, with slightly more than a thousand views: “We want your music on Spotify! Long live Petronio! Long live Colombia!”

Getting tickets to the biggest tours this year is only the first step in prepping to live performances of your favorite artists — you also need a trendy outfit to match the vibe as well. Now the Smashing Pumpkins, who have been opening up for Green Day’s The Saviors tour, are ready to help with that.

Rather than throw on any old band T-shirt you have in your closet, Urban Outfitters is stocking you up with a vintage-inspired graphic tee reviewers can’t stop raving about — and did we mention it’s under $50?

Complete your concert day outfit with an official Smashing Pumpkins tour T-shirt that shoppers are describing as “perfectly oversized.” In addition to coming with a more loose and relaxed fit, the front shows off a mix of vibrant graphics that is inspired by the ’90s and the “1979” band’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness world tour. Urban Outfitters has even labeled the band T-shirt a top-rated pick due to its rising popularity.
