Ozuna adds his 33rd chart-topper on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart as “Sirenita” lifts 4-1 on the Sept. 20-dated chart.

“Sirenita” was released June 5 on Nibiru/Sony Music Latin and takes the lead on its ninth week, with six of those in the top 10. For the tracking week of Sept. 5-11, the steady gainer enjoyed a 10% growth in audience impressions in the United States, registering 7.2 million, according to Luminate.

With his newest Latin Rhythm Airplay No. 1, Ozuna continues to hold the third-highest number of chart-toppers since the list launched in 2005, surpassed only by J Balvin with 38 and Daddy Yankee with 35. Here’s a recap of those winners:

38, J Balvin
35, Daddy Yankee
33, Ozuna
29, Bad Bunny
20, Maluma
20, Wisin
20, Wisin & Yandel

The radio increase across Latin rhythm stations in the U.S. aligns with the song’s 6-3 lift on the overall Latin Airplay chart, adding to Ozuna’s robust catalog of 37 career songs which reached No. 3 or higher — 35 of those have hit No. 1. So far, “Sirenita” and “Te Boté” (his collab with Casper Mágico, Nio García, Darell, Nicky Jam, and Bad Bunny) are Ozuna’s only two songs, of his 37 top three-charted songs, that have not reached No. 1. “Te Boté” peaked at No. 2 in 2018.

Elsewhere, “Sirenita” becomes the Hot Shot Debut of the week on the Hot Latin Songs chart, arriving at No. 42. In addition to its 7 million impressions during the tracking period, the song generated a 7% gain streaming activity.

“Sirenita” also makes its entrance on the Hot Latin Rhythm Songs chart, at No. 22, Ozuna’s third entry since its launch in April. The list combines streaming data, digital sales and radio audience into its formula.

Producer Sidney “Omen” Brown has died at age 49. According to NBC News, Omen was found in his Harlem apartment on Saturday by his sister, Nicole Iris Brown.

“He was holistic and healthy. So we don’t know of him being sick, so this is all pretty sudden,” Omen’s sister said in a statement to NBC News. “I hope people will remember that he was willing to help the younger generation.”

Brown continued: “He was always big on helping younger people start their careers and get themselves into the game. It was about just the music, no matter who the artist was.”

Omen began making a name for himself in hip-hop around the turn of the century as he aligned with Roc-A-Fella. He earned production credits on Memphis Bleek’s Coming of Age debut as well as Fabolous’ Street Dreams album cuts “Change You or Change Me” and “Why Wouldn’t I” in 2003.

Brown crafted the score behind Roc-A-Fella’s Paper Soldiers movie in 2002, which served as Kevin Hart’s acting debut and saw a cameo from Jay-Z.

He produced “Tell It Like It Is” for Ludacris‘ Release Therapy, which won best rap album at the 2007 Grammy Awards.

Omen floated into the Young Money orbit when teaming up with OVO’s Noah “40” Shebib to produce “Shut It Down” featuring The-Dream on Drake’s Thank Me Later debut in 2010. He collaborated with Shebib again to co-produce Lil Wayne’s “I’m Single,” which reached No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Continuing his work with 40, Omen is credited as a songwriter on Beyoncé’s 2013 hit “Mine,” which also peaked at No. 82 on the Hot 100.

Omen went on to compile a talented list of collaborators, as he earned production credits with Mya, Redman and Action Bronson over the years.

On Tuesday (Sept. 16), concert promotion company Goldenvoice released the lineup for the 2026 Coachella festival, with headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G and Justin Bieber topping a packed bill that also includes Turnstile, Teddy Swims, Devo, David Bryne, Young Thug, Iggy Pop and a set by electronic artist Anyma.

The lineup for this year’s festival was announced far earlier than in past years and reflects a growing trend in the festival business to get on sale early — passes for next year’s edition go on sale Friday (Sept. 19) — and sell as many tickets as possible. Like Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Coachella is essentially on sale year-round. Less than two weeks after the 2025 festival wrapped on April 20, early bird tickets went on sale for Coachella 2026.

Many fans buy Coachella tickets in advance, knowing they’ll attend no matter who plays the festival. But sales for the event, for which GA tickets are priced at $549 per person, really ramp up after the lineup is announced. For most of the 2010s, the festival’s lineup wasn’t announced until the first week of January. That forced other festivals with artists on their lineup who were also playing Coachella to hold back their lineup announcements until Coachella organizers announced theirs.

That began to change after the pandemic, beginning in 2024, when the lineup was announced one week later than normal, on Jan. 16. Unfortunately, the lineup — which featured headliners Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey and Doja Cat — didn’t click with fans and tickets to the first weekend, which had previously sold out in hours, took weeks to sell through. Ultimately, approximately 160,000 tickets were sold for Coachella in 2024, or 80,000 per weekend, according to a report from government officials in Indio.

For the 2025 festival, headlined by Lady Gaga, Green Day and Travis Scott, Coachella organizers put tickets on sale in mid-November and came far closer to reaching capacity, with sales of 120,000 tickets per weekend, sources tell Billboard.

This year, Coachella organizers are doubling down on their ticketing strategy for the 2025 festival — when tickets went on sale six weeks ahead of New Year’s — by putting them on sale nearly three and a half months earlier than previous years. One booking agent who has booked several acts to play Coachella says the longer lead time is just a reflection of today’s consumer landscape.

“Coachella is still the biggest festival in the world and a massive platform for the biggest artists in the world, but there’s just a lot more competition for consumer dollars,” the booking agent source, speaking on background, tells Billboard. “The sooner festivals like Coachella can go on sale to consumers, the sooner they can start ticket sales and work towards selling the tens of thousands of tickets it takes for each weekend to sell out.”

What Teams Are In the WNBA Playoffs?

Here are the four first-round WNBA playoffs matchups:

One of Sabrina Carpenter‘s biggest hits feels anything but short and sweet in the trailer for The Housemaid, a new horror movie starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried.

Previewing how the two leading ladies — one of them a live-in nanny and the other a nervous wife/mother — go toe-to-toe while seemingly hiding sinister secrets, the trailer heavily features a super creepy twist on “Please Please Please.” Rather than the sparkly, ’70s pop production we’re used to hearing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, Carpenter’s voice floats over anxiety-inducing strings and eerie ticking sounds that have been added to the track to give it an unsettling flair.

“Whatever devil’s inside you, don’t let him out tonight,” the singer echoes over a shot of Seyfried’s character staring menacingly at Brandon Sklenar, who plays her husband, during a dinner party scene.

The music only ramps up in intensity as shots of Seyfried holding a bloody shard of glass, Sweeney appearing to bludgeon someone with an apple while wearing a schoolgirl uniform, and police showing up at the family’s home in the snow play in quick succession.

Based on the novel of the same name by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid will hit theaters Dec. 19. “From director Paul Feig, the film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems,” reads a description. “Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.”

Carpenter first dropped “Please Please Please” in June 2024 ahead of the release of her breakthrough album Short n’ Sweet. The track reached the top of the Hot 100 shortly afterward, marking the star’s first-ever No. 1 on the chart.
