Myke Towers’ ‘La Vida Es Una’ Debuts in Top 10 of Top Latin Albums Chart

“I want to show my people that I’m in a new level of creating and I don’t want to keep in my comfort zone,” he explained to Billboard about La Vida Es Una. “Like, I always want to do new things. This album, some people are going to have to listen to it a couple of times to get used to it. People always think of me making only hip-hop or trap music or just like reggaeton, but in this one I want it to be different.”

Below, check out the “Lala” lyrics translated into English:

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

Everything is good, you don’t have to stress
I will never leave you alone
I was hooked since the first time I saw her
I fell in love when I danced with her
She had been wanting to get close for a long time
Put her back against the wall
If I go down she knows what I’ll do

La-la-la-la-la-la
You want it mami (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Her eyes change (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I look at her and she licks her red lipstick (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Her waist is loose (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Baby, if I grab you (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I’ll take you to new heights (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Let me know and I’ll pick you up (la-la-la-la-la-la)

She let me drive
You’ll always know when I arrive to a place
I was crowned since I was little
It looks good on photo but in person even better
She took one too many drinks
After the red wine she took a pause
When she was going for her fifth
I took her cruising around the neighborhood in the KYMCO
When they see me up front, they become astonished

She does it alone
She’s already turning someone else on as this one burns down
She’s calling my attention because she wants me to do it

La-la-la-la-la-la
You want it mami (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Her eyes change (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I look at her and she licks her red lipstick (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Her waist is loose (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Baby, if I grab you (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I’ll take you to new heights (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Let me know and I’ll pick you up (la-la-la-la-la-la)

When something is for you, it’s inevitable
Baby, I know you want it
Let’s do as if there was no television or cable
Your gaze is to blame for
They’re looking at us, let’s go
She told me, “Don’t think about it to much and give it to me”
By the look on her face, you can tell she’s enjoying it
The neighbors are looking

I love it when you look mad
She fills my bullet cartridge
And even left the weapon in the living room 
I was focused on

La-la-la-la-la-la
I’m your Carmelo and you’re my (la-la-la-la-la-la)
When I go down (la-la-la-la-la-la)
She always asks me (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I never stop (la-la-la-la-la-la)
She likes the (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I make her go crazy with (la-la-la-la-la-la)
She touches herself when (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Looking at her and doing (la-la-la-la-la-la)

I’m your Carmelo and you’re my
When I go down
She always asks me
I never stop
She likes the
I make her go crazy with
She touches herself when
Looking at her and doing

Watch Cardi B Twerk in a Bubble Bath & in Front of the Eiffel Tower to ‘Point Me 2’ Remix

cardi-b-offset-paris-fashion-week-2023-billboard-1548804439

No matter where she is in the world, Cardi B will be Cardi B. With a new Instagram video, the rapper shared a compilation of clips showing off her twerking skills in different locations — including none other than the Eiffel Tower in Paris … and her bubble bath.

In the first clip, Cardi B excitedly finds a spot in front of the famous Paris landmark, looking exceptionally casual in a white bathrobe and slippers as she proceeds to throw it back for the camera. In another clip, she squats and twerks in front of her luxurious bed; in another, she wears next to nothing while sensually shaking her stuff in a bubble bath.

Cardi B & Offset Attend Paris Fashion Week Together Following Cheating Allegations

“SHE PLAYIN WAP , SHE THROWIN CAT IN THE UBER BLACK !!!…… by the way that’s my bedroom,” Cardi captioned the Saturday (July 8) video, using lyrics from her new “Point Me 2” remix with FendiDa Rapper.

Offset chimed in with a slew of heart-eye emojis in the comment section, further proving to fans that all is well with the couple following the Migos rapper’s recent accusation that Cardi had cheated on him. The pair also seemed to be on good terms at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, cozying up for photos at the Balenciaga runway show.

Prior to PFW, though, Offset sent the rumor mill into a tailspin by alleging on his Instagram Story that his wife had been intimate with another man. But Cardi almost immediately shut it down, saying on Twitter Spaces that a discrete affair would have been implausible in the first place given how famous she is.

“So please boy, stop acting stupid,” she’d added, addressing Offset directly. “Stop acting stupid. Going crazy over a f–king space. Don’t play with me. What the f–k. Stop playing. That’s all I’m gonna motherf–king say.”

All the Surprise Songs Taylor Swift Has Performed on The Eras Tour (So Far)

According to Spotify, the reimagining of Swift’s 2010 album became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far when it dropped on Friday. The collection that includes the 16 songs from the original and deluxe versions as well as six never-before-heard From the Vault tracks also set another Spotify high-water mark.

The Taylor’s Version of the album featuring such fan favorites as “Dear John,” “Mean,” “Enchanted” and “Back to December” also notched a Spotify record for the most-streamed country album in a single day in Spotify history.

The news came just a few days after Swift had a Speak Now lyrical snafu during the her Eras Tour gig at Kansas City, MO’s Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. During the nightly acoustic section of her career-retrospective show, Swift forgot the words to the album track “Last Kiss” not just one time, but twice.

After singing the first two lines of the opening verse, Swift accidentally jumped ahead to the “July ninth” portion of the second verse before pausing to fess up to her mistake. “Oh my God, the words… We have this rule on this tour where if I mess up a song that I have to play it again some other time on the tour so that I can avenge myself,” she explained to the crowd. “I got too excited, I got too excited. Will you allow me the honor of starting over?”

Then, after restarting and getting through the first three lines with no issues, she stopped once more after worrying that she’d done it again. “Oh my God! No, those are the right lyrics,” Swift said, repeating the opening lines. “I swear that I will not mess this up again! Oh my God! This one, I love this one. Why am I doing this to this song?”

Swift moves on to a pair of shows (July 14-15) at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High next weekend.

Missouri House Minor Leader Crystal Quade Launches Run For Governor

crystal-quade583617

Democrat House Minor Leader Crystal Quade is making a run for Missouri’s highest office.

Quade released a video over the weekend attacking Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who’s one of three Republicans running for governor.

Quade, who graduated from Missouri State University with a degree in social work, has served Springfield’s 132nd district in the House since 2016 and is being term-limited out of that office.

Quade became House Minority Leader in 2019.

She says she will protect Missouri family farms by proposing a ban on China and Russia from owning farmland in the state, and will fight to repeal the state’s ban on abortions.

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, and State Senator Bill Eigel have all announced their intention to run for Governor on the GOP side.

Quade officially launches her campaign Monday in Springfield.

Noel Gallagher’s Saratoga Concert Evacuated Following Bomb Threat

A bomb threat derailed a concert Saturday night (July 8) at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC), shutting down the venue before the main act, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, could take the stage.

According to multiple reports, Metric and Garbage completed their opening sets, but the High Flying birds got their wings clipped when the site was abruptly evacuated just ahead of their headline slot.

An announcement before 10 p.m. said the show would not go on due to “circumstances beyond our control,” according to a report from Jim Shahen of the Albany Times-Union.

Adds reporter Jon Campbell, who was in the room: “The stage was all set for Noel Gallagher. Then a guy came on stage and said: ‘Due to circumstances beyond our control, the show will not continue.’”

“We have no idea what happened tonight,” Garbage posted on its official Twitter channel. “We were just all evacuated and we were concerned for everyone !!! I’m sorry we have no real information. We were just told there was an emergency evacuation!!!!”

The situation now has clarity, with officials confirming the closure was in response to a “bomb threat.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, the concert at Saratoga Performing Arts Center was suspended ‪at 9:40 pm and concert attendees were evacuated without incident. K9s completed a sweep of the venue after the crowd exited, with negative results,” reads a statement from the NY State Park Police.

The venue, operated by Live Nation, had a particularly eventful weekend. Sunday’s performance of Kidz Bop was delayed due to “inclement weather in the area,” with organizers urging guests to “seek shelter in the venue.”

Gallagher is touring in support of his band’s latest album Council Skies, which last month debuted at No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, denied the crown by Foo Fighters’ But Here We Are. The Foos ended Gallagher’s record streak of 10 consecutive No. 1 studio albums dating back nearly three decades, including all seven LPs with Oasis and the previous three with High Flying Birds.

Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Vampire’ Flies High on U.K. Chart

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (via Geffen) sinks its fangs into the U.K. singles chart.

Arriving at No. 2, the pop-rock number becomes Rodrigo’s fifth U.K. top 10 appearance, a collection that includes two leaders.

When Rodrigo announced her arrival to the pop music world with 2021’s Sour, she set a stack of records. With the release of “Good 4 U,” Rodrigo became, at 18 years and three months, the youngest solo artist in history to snag the Official U.K. Chart double.

The Grammy Award winner’s debut also broke the U.K. record for most first-week streams ever for a debut album, and she’s the first female solo artist to score three simultaneous U.K. top 5 singles with “Good 4 U,” “Deja Vu” and “Traitor” (Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” also led the survey).

“Vampire” blasts to No. 1 in Australia and is the first release from Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts, due out Sept. 8. Its predecessor, Sour, spent five weeks at No. 1 in the U.K.

After a tight chart race, the Official Charts Company reports, Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” (Live Yours/Neighbourhood) finds the legs to outpace “Vampire” for its fifth consecutive title.

“Sprinter” accumulates a market-leading 8 million-plus streams, according to the OCC. Completing the top 3 is J Hus and Drake’s “Who Told You” (Black Butter/OVO/Republic), down 2-3.

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” (EMI) continues to heat up on the U.K. chart, four years after its initial release. The Lover album track cracks the U.K. top 10 for the first time, rising 12-6. It’s the 22nd U.K. top 10 for Swift, who will return to these parts in June 2024 when her The Eras Tour passes through.

Meanwhile, DJ Peggy Gou’s dance number “(It Goes Like) Nanana” (XL Recordings) continues to climb, up 9-7, while D-Block Europe and Clavish’s collaboration “Pakistan” bolts to a top 10 start. “Pakistan” debuts at No. 10, the third top 10 appearance for D-Block and Clavish’s second.

Nothing But Thieves Nab U.K. Chart Crown With ‘Dead Club City’

Nothing But Thieves swipe the U.K. chart title for the first time as Dead Club City bows at No. 1.

Formed in Essex, England, the five-piece indie-rock band enjoyed top 10 appearances with each of their previous three albums: 2015’s self-titled debut (peaking at No. 7), 2017’s Broken Machine (No. 2) and 2020’s Moral Panic (No. 3).

“How’s this happened then?!,” reads a message on the band’s socials. “It’s a synth based concept record with too many guitar solos. This is all to say that despite our best efforts of self sabotage, it’s only gone and got Number 1. It can still happen.”

Completing the podium on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, published July 7, is Elton John’s hits collection Diamonds (Universal/UMC), which holds at No. 2 as the pop veteran winds-up his record-setting final tour; and the Weeknd’s The Highlights (Republic Records/XO), up 6-3.

Further down the list, London singer and songwriter Olivia Dean blasts to No. 4 with Messy, her full-length debut LP.

Also arriving in the top 10 is Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape, new at No. 7. That’s the second top 10 for the U.S. rapper, singer and songwriter, after 2020’s Eternal Atake peaked at No. 3. Lil Uzi Vert also impacted the U.K. chart with 2017’s Luv Is Rage 2 (No. 14), and Pluto x Baby Pluto (No. 39), his 2020 collaborative release with Future.

Meanwhile, Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten bags a debut solo top 10 appearance with Chaos For The Fly (Partisan). The best-seller this week on wax, Chaos For The Fly takes off at No. 10.

Olivia Rodrigo is back with “Vampire,” and her fans can’t get enough of the U.S. pop star. Rodrigo’s chart-topping debut album from 2021, Sour (Geffen), blasts 32-16 in its 110th week on the tally.

Finally, Madonna enjoys a “get well soon” message from her U.K. fans as Finally Enough Love (Rhino) rises on the chart. The Queen of Pop’s 2022 hits collection reenters the chart at No. 27 following the release of six-LP “Rainbow Edition” boxset.

The American pop legend recently spent several days in the ICU after she developed a serious bacterial infection, a development that pressed pause on her massive, career-spanning Celebration tour. Finally Enough Love originally peaked at No. 3 in the U.K. following its release in 2022.
