Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, has company, as Bad Bunny’s “DTMF” claims a 56th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart (dated April 25). The two tracks now share the record for the longest command in the chart’s nearly 40-year-old history.

Looking back, “Despacito” revolutionized the Latin market when the collab, after a remix was released featuring Bieber, dominated the Hot Latin Songs chart for an unmatched 56 weeks between 2017-18. The run set the benchmark for longevity on the multi-metric ranking since its launch in 1986 and marked a turning point in the Latin music scene.

Fast-forward to today, Bad Bunny’s “DTMF” is following in those footsteps, matching its longevity. Despite slight declines in streams and digital sales, the song does see a slight increase in radio airplay, which helps it hold its No. 1 spot for a 56th week.

“DTMF registered 8.9 million streams in the United States, a 4% dip from the week prior, during the tracking week ending April 16, according to Luminate. It slides 19-29 on the overall Streaming Songs chart, while keeping its No. 1 spot on Latin Streaming Songs for a 42nd week.

Sales-wise, the song sold less than 1,000 downloads, down by 2%, but still enough to keep its No. 1 place on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart for a 15th week.

With “DTMF” matching “Despacito’s” No. 1 run on Hot Latin Songs, let’s look at those five songs with the most weeks at No. 1 since the chart’s inception in 1986:

Title, Artist, Weeks At No. 1, Peak Date
“Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee, featuring Justin Bieber, 56 (Feb. 18, 2017)
“DTMF,” Bad Bunny, 56 (Jan. 25, 2025)
“Bailando, Enrique Iglesias, featuring Descemer Bueno & Gente de Zona, 41 (May 17, 2014)
“El Perdón,” Nicky Jam & Enrique Iglesias, 30 (March 21, 2015)
“Dákiti,” Bad Bunny & Jhay Cortez, 27 (Nov. 14, 2020)

Add Nancy Sinatra to the long list of musicians who have requested that Donald Trump stop using their (or their family’s) music in his political messaging. Over the weekend, Sinatra lashed out at the president for posting a video of her late father, Frank Sinatra, singing his iconic 1969 ballad “My Way” on his Truth Social platform over the weekend.

This is sacrilege,” Nancy Sinatra wrote on X in response to a person who wrote, “Omg, @NancySinatra will not be happy about this. Trump goes against everything that Frank stood for. He was a big champion for equality and supported the Civil Rights movement.” The comment came in response to Trump posting the brief clip of a tuxedo-wearing Frank Sinatra performing his signature song at Madison Square Garden in 1974 with no context or commentary.

When another fan asked if there is anything Nancy can do to prevent Trump from posting her father’s music, the “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” singer replied, “Unfortunately no. The only people who can do something are the publishers”; the song’s publishers are Because Music and Primary Wave. Sinatra’s “My Way” is an English-language adaptation of the French song “Comme d’habitude,” with lyrics written by Paul Anka.

Nancy Sinatra has long been a loud and frequent critic of Trump’s presidency — in March, she tweeted, “Not only is trump insane but he is an extreme danger to America and the world — and over the weekend she also reposted a fan comment that read: “Trump may love Sinatra, but Sinatra did not love Trump.” She joins an expansive list of artists who’ve complained or taken action against Trump for using their music without permission, a roster that includes Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Beyoncé, Foo Fighters, SZA, Kenny Loggins, Celine Dion, Jack White, Guns N’ Roses, Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne and many more.

Lizzo leads the following month’s lineup with her June 5 show, followed by Niall Horan‘s June 12 set, a week after the arrival of the One Direction alum’s Dinner Party album. Melanie Martinez, who recently earned her fourth consecutive Billboard 200 top 10 studio album with Hades (No. 3), rounds out the month with her June 26 performance.

“The City Las Vegas” will take place from May 20-31 in Las Vegas, Nevada, while “The City Busan” will set up shop from June 5-21. The U.S. dates will coincide with the band’s upcoming run of shows at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on May 23, 24, 27 and 28.

Everybody, even huge pop stars, has that one person they would absolutely lose it over if they met them in person. For a long time, Billie Eilish had Justin Bieber at the top of her list. But now they’ve become friendly and, in case you missed it, over the weekend, Bieber, 32, made Eilish’s tween dreams come true when he invited his self-proclaimed superfan onto the stage to serenade her with his 2009 song “One Less Lonely Girl.”

It was clear from the hugs and laughter that Eilish, 24, was having the time of her life, and her mom, Maggie Baird, confirmed it in a sweet Instagram note honoring the special relationship between her daughter and Justin.

“One of the most touching moments ever. It sounds crazy, but we watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there’s nothing in our power to do,” wrote Baird in the post, which featured a picture of Billie hugging Justin with a giant smile on her face, as well as the footage of Eilish losing it as she stumbled and fell to her knees while making her way to the stage for the once-in-a-lifetime moment.

“But we buy them records and maybe buy them a ticket to a concert (or a movie of a concert in our case because we couldn’t afford to see an actual concert),” she continued of her daughter, who has been a Belieber for half her life. “Watching this crazy unimaginable dream come true over many years is so incredible. I’m so grateful to Justin Bieber for the kindness he has shown Billie and to our whole family and to Hailey who makes so many things wonderful and possible♥️♥️.”

Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber, responded with a “❤️ you guys!” in the comments, followed by a “so special.” In other pics, Baird hugs Eilish after the special on-stage moment and mom and daughter fangirl together over Justin’s show from the audience. Later, Eilish — who has spoken in the past about how Bieber offered her advice and friendship early in her career — provided an update on her emotional state following the life highlight moment: “can’t stop crying,” she wrote in an Instagram Story on Sunday accompanied by a pic of her laying in bed with red-rimmed eyes.

Katy Perry shared a playful moment from her recent trip to Rome, joking about tossing her credit card into the Trevi Fountain for “good luck.”

In a video posted to Instagram over the weekend, the singer is seen standing at the landmark before briefly throwing her card into the water — a tongue-in-cheek spin on the centuries-old tradition of visitors tossing coins to ensure a return to the city.

“Y’all, I told you in ‘Save as Draft’ that I don’t f**k with change,” Perry says in the clip, referencing a lyric from her 2017 track, before adding, “But I feel like I need to put something in the Trevi Fountain for good luck.”

She quickly retrieves the card as it begins to float away, turning the moment into a light bit of travel humor rather than a serious offering.

Perry’s post was part of a wider set of images from Rome, captioned “Just Rome’ing around,” showing the artist moving through the city in a more low-key, offstage setting.

The visit also included a private performance at the La Nuvola convention center, though further details about the event have not been publicly shared.

The social media moment arrives amid a more serious development earlier in the week, after Australian actor Ruby Rose publicly alleged that Perry sexually assaulted her during an encounter in Melbourne years ago. Victoria Police confirmed an investigation is underway following a report.

A representative for Perry has denied the allegation, calling the claims “categorically false” and “dangerous reckless lies.”

The post also follows Perry’s recent appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where she was spotted during weekend one alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The pair were seen in the crowd during Justin Bieber’s set, adding to recent public sightings of the two together.

Jesy Nelson has appealed for public assistance after her car — containing essential medical equipment for her infant daughters — was stolen from her driveway.

The former Little Mix member shared the news via Instagram Stories, revealing that her black Land Rover Defender was taken in the early hours of the morning from her home in Brentwood, Essex.

She asked anyone with information to come forward, writing, “Please if any of you have seen or know of any information, can you DM me or contact the police. I have so much of my girls’ hospital equipment in that car that’s really needed.”

The incident carries added urgency due to the health needs of Nelson’s twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, who were diagnosed earlier this year with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic condition that affects muscle strength and movement.

Nelson has spoken publicly about the challenges of caring for her daughters following the diagnosis, describing the experience as an intense period involving frequent hospital visits and ongoing medical support. SMA, particularly Type 1, can impact essential functions including breathing, swallowing and mobility, often requiring specialized equipment for daily care.

In January, Nelson shared that her daughters’ condition would likely have long-term implications. She said doctors had informed her that the children may not be able to walk or regain full neck strength, underscoring the importance of consistent medical treatment and equipment access.

Since opening up about her daughters’ diagnosis, Nelson has also become an advocate for increased awareness around SMA. She recently voiced support for updated government plans to introduce newborn screening for the condition, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment.

The theft of the vehicle — and the loss of critical medical supplies — has prompted concern among fans, with Nelson using her platform to amplify the search and encourage anyone with information to contact authorities.

Nelson rose to prominence as a member of Little Mix, one of the U.K.’s most successful girl groups, before departing the group in 2020. She later launched a solo career with the single “Boyz,” followed by subsequent releases including “Bad Thing.”

At the time of publication, there have been no updates on the vehicle’s recovery.

mike. has announced his final Australian tour, confirming a run of headline shows across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this September as part of his Upside Down Tour Pt.3.

The New York rapper is set to perform at Oxford Art Factory in Sydney on Sept. 5, Max Watts in Melbourne on Sept. 12 and The Triffid in Brisbane on Sept. 18. The dates mark what has been billed as his last tour of Australia before his planned retirement from music.

Tickets for the shows will go on sale to the general public on April 24 at 10 a.m. local time, following a Live Nation presale beginning April 22.

The announcement arrives as mike. continues a prolific run that has positioned him as one of the defining voices in independent hip-hop. Emerging from New York’s underground rap scene in the late 2010s, he built momentum through a steady stream of self-released projects, often blending lo-fi production with introspective, diaristic writing.

Albums including Weight of the World, Disco! and Burning Desire have drawn critical attention for their minimal, sample-driven sound and emotionally direct lyricism, frequently addressing themes of grief, memory and personal change. That approach has helped cultivate a dedicated fanbase while placing MIKE. within a broader wave of independent artists reshaping the boundaries of contemporary rap.

The Upside Down Tour has seen the artist perform across North America and Europe, with the Australian leg forming part of its third installment. The choice of mid-sized venues for the upcoming shows reflects the scale of his touring approach, which has largely centered on intimate live settings.

While details around his retirement timeline remain limited, the framing of the tour suggests these dates could mark his final performances in Australia. MIKE. has not extensively toured the region in recent years, making the September run a rare opportunity for local audiences to see him live.

“I Feel So Free,” the new single from Madonna, tops this week’s fan-voted new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (April 18) on Billboard, choosing the iconic pop star’s latest single as their favorite new release this week.

“I Feel So Free” rose to the top of the poll during a week full of fresh pop arrivals, with new tunes from Olivia Rodrigo, Tyla feat. Zara Larsson, Lana Del Rey, sombr and more. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, Madonna led the pack with 40% of the vote.

“I Feel So Free” debuted on iHeartRadio’s Pride station on Friday, and it arrived on streaming services — and with an official visualizer, seen above — following Madonna’s surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella set later that night. (Madonna and Sabrina sang two classics, “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer,” together at the festival in Indio, Calif.)

The track celebrates the comfort found in going out dancing: “It’s really hard for me to trust people/ Can you blame me?/ I never know what people like me/ That’s why I like to go dancing/ Safety in numbers/ That’s why I like to go dancing/ Safety in numbers,” Madonna sings in the chorus.

It’s the first single off of Madonna’s upcoming Confessions II album, the sequel to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor. Confessions II is slated for a July 3 release via Warner Records.

Among the new releases trailing behind “I Feel So Free” are Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead,” with 31% of the vote, and Tyla feat. Zara Larsson’s “She Did It Again,” with nearly 16% of the vote. Lana Del Rey’s “First Light” and sombr’s “Potential” rounded out the top 5 picks.
