Mexican cumbia icons Los Ángeles Azules and Argentine star Emilia joined forces to sing their chart-topping Billboard hit “Perdonarte, ¿Para Qué?” at Premios Juventud 2024. Their performance marked a milestone, celebrating Los Ángeles Azules’ debut No. 1 on the chart after an impressive three decades in the music industry.

Emilia, clad in a shimmering purple ensemble with matching glittery eyeshadow and high-top boots, perfectly embodied a blend of retro flair and modern style. Together, they delivered an electrifying showcase of that beloved Mexican cumbia, highlighted by the riveting accordion riffs that had the crowd gyrating non-stop.

Their collaboration “Perdonarte, ¿Para Qué?” not only conquered radio waves but also propelled the Nogoyá-born singer to her first appearance on the Hot Latin Songs chart, debuting at No. 35. This achievement further underscores the timeless appeal of cumbia and its ability to resonate, proving that a really good cumbia jam knows no age or geographical limits.

This year’s Premios Juventud — a fan-voted awards show — was held at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan and hosted by Lele Pons, Clarissa Molina and Wisin.

For its 21st annual ceremony, Carin León, Maluma, Peso Pluma, Karol G and Shakira were among the most nominated acts. Meanwhile, Anitta, Los Tigres del Norte and Lele Pons each received an Agent of Change Award, which “recognizes and celebrates” young entrepreneurs and prominent stars who “selflessly contribute to creating a better world,” according to the awards show. See the list of this year’s winners here. 

You can always count on Los Tigres del Norte to tell it how it is, both onstage and off the stage.

On Thursday (July 25), the legendary Mexican group attended, for the first time ever, the Premios Juventud awards show, where they were honored with an Agent of Change Award for being La Voz del Pueblo. For decades, the band has used its platform to fight for social justice and amplify marginalized voices while advocating for immigration policies.

“It’s a great satisfaction but at the same time very big because Agent of Change means many things,” Hernan Hernández told Billboard on the red carpet, just ahead of the awards ceremony. “But especially the people who help without expecting anything in return, help the community. Our music has helped many things, but outside of music, it helps people who need it; that gives us great satisfaction, to be able to do something with those who have given you so much. That is the distinction.”

The band also shared a few words about the landscape of the 2024 presidential election in the United States. As artists who have encouraged the Latino vote, the band’s leader, Jorge Hernández, expressed, “We were a little nervous, but now that Mr. President has decided to leave a path for Kamala, well, I think that now we can realize the dream that we all want, and that she will be elected on this occasion, for various reasons.” Adding, “We invite you to vote, those who can vote, and make their own decision. We will be fighting at any time to continue communicating to the whole nation the great importance of voting.”

During the show, Los Tigres del Norte gave a powerful performance of their latest hit “Aquí Mando Yo,” and later thanked their families and fans for the support.

Ariana Grande has her fans on her mind!

The pop superstar recently opened up about touring plans amid her busy schedule balancing music, filming Wicked and working on her makeup line, R.E.M. Beauty.

“It’s something we are trying to figure out because I have to spread my focus quite thin these days but it’s something really important to me that I figure out because I love and miss my fans so much,”

It’s been an exciting year for Grande, who stars as Glinda the Good Witch in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked, which is set to arrive in November.

After several weeks of tinkering in the studio, Eternal Sunshine arrived March 8. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and stayed in the top spot for two weeks, led by the Hot 100-topping “Yes, And?”

And though she’s still busy with Wicked press obligations and her R.E.M. Beauty business, Grande has managed to keep the album era running strong. Most recently, she dropped a music video for “The Boy Is Mine” starring Penn Badgley, shortly after which she recruited icons Brandy and Monica for an all-star remix of the track. 

“i cannot wait for everything that has yet to come within this eternal sunshine cycle (that has only just begun & may it never end),” she teased back in April. “thank you for your love.”

This is just, I don’t know who this is for. I’m in that one, right? Yeah, it takes me a second to like warm up with meeting new people. I feel like me and [photographer] Adam [Kargenian] have been working on it for years. Well, we just got to a point like a year ago. Adam like is fully in the studio and like I can’t even notice him.

Adam Kargenian:

Him trusting me and, you know, vice versa, reading him and being able to get good shots, knowing when I can poke him to be a little outside of his comfort zone in certain situations. But yeah, it’s really, it’s relationship first.

The Kid LAROI:

This is the choir, I’ve never met them before.

Adam Kargenian:

An honor to get to know him. He’s truly like one of the most gracious kind people I know. And I know that’s not something fans get to see every day on a day-to-day level. But it’s really true with him. He just wants the best for everyone he loves and I feel like he’s loyal to the people he loves even to a fault.

The Kid LAROI:

Awesome, sounds incredible. What’s up, how are you guys doing?

Lady Gaga is taking over the Olympic stage.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the singer is set to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games this Friday (July 26). Other rumored artists speculated to perform include Celine Dion, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande and French singer Aya Nakamura, though none have been confirmed.

Meanwhile, TMZ is reporting that Gaga will perform a duet of Édith Piaf’s classic “La Vie en Rose” with Dion, though that report remains unconfirmed. If the “My Heart Will Go On” icon takes the stage, it will mark Dion’s first performance since she cancelled the dates on her North American Courage world tour before revealing she is fighting Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes severe muscle spasms.

Earlier this week, the pop superstar was photographed waving and blowing kisses to fans in the City of Light as she stood next to her car, dressed in a low-key baseball cap, sunglasses and leathery jacket. A fan video captures Gaga greeting admirers while peeking out of the vehicle’s sunroof, holding up a hand heart.

Gaga’s trip to France comes in the midst of her teasing that her upcoming seventh album is in the works. A few days prior, she shared photos from the studio and wrote, “Happy as ever making music … feel so grateful, heart is peaceful. It’s like meditation. I can’t wait for you to hear what I’m working on.”
