The duo earns its first leader since “Beautiful People (Stay High)” reigned for five weeks in early 2024. In between, “On the Game” reached No. 5 last July. The Black Keys first topped Adult Alternative Airplay in 2011 with “Lonely Boy,” a year after making their initial appearance with “Tighten Up” (No. 12 peak).
With nine No. 1s, The Black Keys move into sole possession of the fifth-most leaders since Adult Alternative Airplay was first published in January 1996.

On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, it bullets at its No. 8 high with 3.1 million audience impressions (up 2%) in the week ending April 3, according to Luminate.
“The Night Before” is the lead single from No Rain, No Flowers, The Black Keys’ 13th studio album. Though it’s expected in 2025, the set doesn’t yet have a release date. It follows 2024’s Ohio Players, which debuted at No. 5 on the Top Alternative Albums chart in April 2024 and has earned 85,000 equivalent album units to date.
All Billboard charts dated April 12 will update Tuesday, April 8, on Billboard.com.

On Tuesday, Thug reposted a blogger’s photo of Marissa Viverito on the stand, calling her the “biggest liar in the DA office.” That sparked fans to flood the DA’s social media with hate messages. Judge Whitaker wasn’t feeling the post, calling it “not wise,” but ultimately said it wasn’t enough to send Thug back to jail. After reviewing the terms of Thug’s probation, the judge decided not to revoke it.
However, he did give Thug a light verbal warning, telling him it might be a good idea to keep certain opinions to himself, especially when it comes to the legal system. While the judge didn’t throw the book at Thug this time, he did make it clear that Thug needs to be more careful about what he posts online, especially when it could cause problems in the courtroom. The whole situation shows how social media can stir things up, with fans backing Thug and taking things way further than he might have intended.
When Young Thug was released from prison, he was given strict probation rules to follow. These included staying out of trouble and avoiding any illegal activities. He was also prohibited from associating with known criminals or gang members. Additionally, Thug had to stay away from social media posts that could cause legal issues or stir up controversy, as his online behavior had previously led to trouble. It’s a reminder to Thug and everyone else that social media energy can spill over into real-world consequences.

Some call it “the festival of the future” due to its eclecticism and bold approach to creating lineups aimed at a multigenerational audience. For others, AXE Ceremonia brings together major alternative music shows in inclusive spaces, where the distinction from other festivals is evident — from the outfits attendees choose for the occasion to the sonic acts showcased during the marathon event.
But for Diego Jiménez, director and co-founder of the festival, it’s the place that provides the opportunity to host the creator of the popular corridos tumbados genre, Natanael Cano, as a headliner one night — and the next day, the two-time Grammy-winning American rapper Tyler, Tyler The Creator. Amidst all that, attendees can hear trip-hop veterans Massive Attack, British sensation Charli XCX, South Korean boy band Tomorrow X Together, and Argentine experimental trap duo Ca7riel y Paco Amoroso.
“We like to differentiate ourselves from other festivals by focusing on youth culture rather than a specific genre or musical style,” Jiménez tells Billboard Español about the festival, whose 12th edition will take place this Saturday and Sunday (April 5 and 6) at Parque Bicentenario in Mexico City.

“Seeing Tyler, The Creator on a lineup at major festivals around the world is more common, but seeing him one day and Natanael Cano the next doesn’t happen often elsewhere. That gives AXE Ceremonia a very strong personality,” adds the organizer.
Produced by the company ECO Live, this year’s festival lineup is rounded out by a diverse group of international bands and solo artists — including Parcels, Gesaffelstein, Nathy Peluso, The Marías, Meme del Real, pablopablo, Lil Yachty, Artemas, Hanumankind, A.G. Cook, NSQK, The Dare, Simpson Ahuevo, Brutalism 300, and Luisa Almaguer — making it one of the most innovative offerings of the spring festival season.
The 12th edition of the festival will mark the return of Natanael Cano to Mexico City, who previously performed as an emerging artist in 2022. This time, he will take center stage as a headliner after becoming one of the stars of Mexican regional music and delivering a sold-out concert at the Estadio GNP Seguros in August 2024.
“Watching an artist grow like that is very exciting, and it speaks to this dialogue that exists between this city and the rest of the world — of becoming a cultural capital — and how the vision of culture and music from a Mexican perspective has an international impact,” Jiménez observes.
Additionally, this year the festival introduces K-pop to its musical offerings for the first time by inviting South Korean boy band Tomorrow X Together, allowing it to cater to another segment of the audience —Generation Alpha, or those born in the early 2010s. “We like to seek balance, those connections between the past and the present, to create a snapshot of what’s happening today,” Jiménez notes.
The organizer also highlighted the introduction of a new space dedicated to tropical music, salsa, merengue, bachata, and cumbia in this year’s edition of the festival, which will feature two iconic dance halls from Mexico City: Miki’s and Barba Azul.
“Speaking of the present and the past, if you listen to Bad Bunny’s album (Debí Tirar Más Fotos), it’s based on sounds from the past — that distinctly Latin sound. How does youth interact with these sounds? You create a new space,” he explains.
The festival’s organizers expect to gather 55,000 people per day, totaling 110,000 attendees over the weekend. In past editions, the festival’s stages have hosted prominent figures in music such as Björk, Rosalía, Kendrick Lamar, LCD Soundsystem, Travis Scott, James Blake, Wu-Tang Clan, A$AP Rocky, Aphex Twin, Snoop Dogg, Animal Collective, Underworld, Nicolas Jaar and Fuerza Regida.

Eladio Carrión, DON KBRN (Rimas Entertainment)
Eladio Carrión’s DON KBRN lands with razor-sharp intent, cementing his role as a dominant figure in Latin trap. With an ambitious 22-track lineup inspired by Yakuza mystique and Samurai discipline, according to the press release, the LP packs raw lyricism, relentless ambition, and next-level collaborations. The star-studded release includes Myke Towers (“Vetements,” a braggadocious anthem of success), Peso Pluma (“Tiffany,” a flashy ode to street hustle), Jessie Reyez (“Call My Line,” a bilingual R&B lament), and Big Sean (“Branzino,” an old-school hip-hop gem). Contributions from Young Miko, Cris Mj, Quevedo, and others also make for a riveting listen.
Solo tracks like “Ohtani” and “Harmonía” further highlight the artist’s range, where he embraces trap, melodic rap, and introspective cuts. Lebron James is even seen bumping “H.I.M.” on his IG Story. The production — by Hide Miyabi, Finesse, Deadts, OZ, G.O.K.B., and more — marked by bold experimentation, also brings DON KBRN to life as a daring statement of intent, showcasing Eladio Carrión’s linguistic mastery while setting a new standard for Latin trap. — ISABELA RAYGOZA

Pipe Bueno, Majo Aguilar & Mariachi Sol de Mexico, “Bailar Contigo” (PB Entertainment/Warner Music Latina)
Pipe Bueno, a renowned Música Popular artist in Colombia, has joined forces with breakout mariachi songstress, Majo Aguilar, and the legendary Mariachi Sol de México for a heartfelt Carlos Vives tribute. In a new rendition of “Bailar Contigo,” a cumbia-rock classic released by Vives in 2013, Bueno showcases his charming vocals alongside Aguilar’s captivating style, interlaced with vibrant mariachi guitars and lively trumpets. This release marks the launch of Bueno’s upcoming EP, Homenaje a Carlos Vives, which celebrates the enduring legacy of one of Colombia’s most cherished artists. The music video for “Bailar Contigo” was beautifully filmed in the picturesque landscape of Jalisco, a region renowned for its rich cultural heritage of tequila production and mariachi music.— INGRID FAJARDO
Yandel, Sinfónico (En Vivo)(Y Entertainment/Warner Music Latina)
The Puerto Rican hitmaker reimagines some of his career-defining songs — from “Abusadora” to “Rakata” — in Sinfónico, a 29-track set recorded live in Miami with the Florida International University Symphony Orchestra. While it’s not the first time an urban artist records with an orchestra, Sinfónico is truly a grand experience offering a different approach to música urbana fusing reggaetón and symphony. Giving his iconic catalog a whole new sonic identity, Yandel launched his reggaetón-meets-orchestra concept back in October when he performed at the Florida International University with the school’s symphony orchestra. The album precedes his Sinfónico Tour, which is set to kick off May 10 in San Juan, Puerto Rico and wrap June 21 in Houston, where Yandel will perform his biggest hits alongside local symphony orchestras. — GRISELDA FLORES
Luis Figueroa & Christian Alicea, “Si Llamas” (Sony Music Latin/Magnus Media)
In a surprising yet pleasing collaboration, Luis Figueroa and Christian Alicea (two former Billboard Latin Artist on the Rise) deliver “Si Llamas.” Both Puerto Rican artists are paving the way for the new generation of salsa stars, respectively, but this is the first time that they join forces to further solidify the movement. Produced by Venezuelan hitmaker Motiff, who is also betting on the new sound of salsa music, “Si Llamas” blends traditional salsa rhythms with Latin urban tones — the two genres that best characterize La Isla del Encanto’s musical flavor. Lyrically, the song is sensual and flirty, telling the story of an unexpected encounter that leaves a lasting impression and begs to be re-lived. A music video accompanies the track, spotlighting Figueroa and Alicea’s potent vocals, playful bromance and killer dance moves. — JESSICA ROIZ
Estevie, “Un Error” (Nice Life Recording Company”
Racking up co-signs from artists like DannyLux, Eslabon Armado and Cuco since her breakthrough in 2022, Estevie is among a handful of rising female artists in the música mexicana space that are offering a fresh take on the genre. Best known for her hip-swiveling cumbias that will promptly get you on your feet, her latest release is no exception. “Un Error,” co-produced by hitmakers like Ulises Lozano and Ernesto Fernández, is powered by an infectious, thumping cumbia beat accompanied by the norteño accordion. In “Un Error,” Estevie sings in her signature velvety vocals about a mistake that might affect her relationship. “I ask you to please forgive me … whatever happened I just want your love but I made a mistake,” she exclaims. — G.F.

Donald Trump and his stupid tariffs are already having an unfortunate impact on regular American lives. If you were one of the excited gamers hoping to preorder the Nintendo Switch 2, we have some bad news.
Orange Mussolini continues to show his financial incompetence, especially regarding tariffs and how they work. After Trump’s masterclass in tanking the global economy following his bonehead announcement of “reciprocal tariffs aimed at countries, mainly our allies, he feels have treated us “unfairly.”
Anyway, it’s no secret the tech space, mainly the gaming community, was apprehensive about the effect of Trump’s looming tariffs, and low and behold, we are seeing just how impactful they will be.
Nintendo is gearing up to launch the Switch 2, with preorders in the US set to go live on April 9. However, the Japanese-based company has taken the unprecedented step of delaying preorders because of the tariffs imposed on Japan and Vietnam.
Nintendo spoke on its decision sent to Gamespot:
“Preorders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”
Bruh.
Gamers Are Not Happy
As you can imagine, gamers who were excited to preorder the Nintendo Switch 2 are unhappy with their decision. The Nintendo Switch 2 is already expensive, but the 46% tariff on Vietnam, where the company has shifted the manufacturing of the console, could raise the price even more.
The 24% tariff on Japan is also significant because that’s where the physical cartridges are made.
“Once again if you are a gamer who voted for Trump you are stupid as shit. Get ready video game fans. You think these shits are expensive NOW?!? BWAHAHAHAHA we’re f****d,” one user on X, formerly Twitter wrote.
Another post on X read, “Not only is the Switch 2 preorder delayed, it is also possible Nintendo will increase the price for the US market. This is a HUGE mess.”
Bruh.
It hasn’t been a year with this man, and he is already ruining our lives.
