Shakira and Manuel Turizo have joined forces for the first time for “Copa Vacía” (empty glass), an infectious pop-reggaeton song that will have you perreando on the dance floor while reflecting on unrequited love with its heartfelt lyrics.
In “Copa Vacía,” the two Colombian artists have a back-and-forth discussion about not giving enough love and affection to the other person.
“You’re always busy with so many businesses/ […] Drop your phone, use your hands with me/I know you’re hot but I’m hotter,” Shak sings in her verse. “As if you don’t feel anything/ Now you see me differently/ I’m swimming against the current/ I’m looking in the streets who can fill this emptiness I feel,” Turizo chants back.
In the chorus, they unite to sing: “I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why/I’m left wanting more, wanting to drink from an empty cup.”
Just 10 days ahead of the release (on June 19), Shak and Turizo assured fans, “We made a movie,” sharing a poster of Shakira taking the role of a mermaid and Turizo as the prince. Evidently, they did.
The music video, co-directed by Shakira and Jaume de Laiguana, features Shak as a pink-haired mermaid who’s abandoned and forgotten on the rocks as Turizo comes to the rescue.
“Copa Vacía” follows Shakira’s sweet song “Acróstico,” which is a love letter to her children. The “Acróstico” music video, which dropped in May, features her two sons — Milan and Sasha — who sing and play the piano alongside her.
In May, Shakira was also honored at the inaugural Billboard Latin Women in Music gala as Woman of the Year, during which she gave an emotional speech in which she acknowledged the hard times she’s been through, and thanked her mother, her friends, and women in general.

“We’ve been following Ozuna’s career for years and we’re excited to be bringing him into the family to work with him and Edgar,” Jennifer McDaniels, president of management at SB Projects, said in a statement. “Ozuna’s music is unmatched. His ability to work across genres including reggaeton, Latin pop, and more, is phenomenal. With unique songs offering fresh perspective and beautiful sounds, we’re thrilled to amplify his artistry with this partnership.”
“Working with Ozuna over these past years, one thing is for certain, we always go big,” added Andino. “For us, Scooter and SB Projects align with our vision. They are the perfect partners to help in our continued approach and take Ozuna to the next level of his career. We cannot be more thrilled and cannot wait for everyone to see what we have coming next.”
A key figure in Ozuna’s team, Andino has helped the singer-songwriter land global deals that range from NFT collaborations to releasing a song for the Call of Duty video game. Most recently, he led negotiations for Ozuna’s inclusion in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Official Soundtrack, performing “Arhbo” with rapper GIMS. The uplifting song, which they performed at the World Cup’s closing ceremony, peaked at No. 1 Billboard‘s Latin Airplay chart.
In May, he released Afro, a seven-track EP where he experiments with Afrobeats. It followed his 2022 studio album, Ozutochi, which landed at No. 5 on the Top Latin Albums chart. Ozuna is set to embark on his Afro Tour across Europe this summer, which has 16 confirmed dates, including stops in France, Spain, Italy, Israel and Holland. The monthlong trek kicks off July 7 in France and wraps Aug. 6 in Spain.
Gerardo Coronel picks-up his first No. 1 on a Billboard chart as “Que Onda Perdida,” with Grupo Firme, rises from No. 2 to lead the Regional Mexican Airplay chart (dated July 1). “Que Onda Perdida” lands at the summit with 9 million in audience impressions — a 14% gain from the week prior — earned […]
Peso Pluma is making the rounds with his new album Génesis, home to 14 tracks that include collaborations with Natanael Cano and Luis R. Conriquez, to name a few, and the previously released bangers “Rosa Pastel” with Jasiel Nuñez, the Eladio Carrión-assisted “77,” and “Bye.”
From the set, one of the most popular tracks among fans is “Lady Gaga,” his collaboration with Junior H and newcomer Gabito Ballesteros. The song tells the story of a luxurious lifestyle with lots of money, beautiful women and private yachts, but that’s kept under the radar.
With less than one day of activity, following its off-cycle release late on Thursday, June 22 (the final day of the chart’s tracking week), Génesis scored Peso his first top 10 entry on the Regional Mexican Albums chart.
Below, check out the translated lyrics and the Spanish lyrics to “Lady Gaga”:
Don Perignon Lady Gaga, Glasses on the faceDrugged and washed Tripled washed, and a bandit who calls me, she wants my moneyAnd it’s not bad because she seduces me like an animalNo one uploads anything to Instagram, they just enjoy, they just enjoy
A bunch of flashy influencers, the ones we sail and flyOn private islands on a yacht, we flip the dollar bills, and without YolandaI’m going to party, little pink powder, little wax featherThat waist is worth 30k, you can’t pay it, you can’t afford itLiving in the San Andreas, but for realCars and moneyThose stars got my code, they challenged meDrugs and cocaine, I like the Lambo but I use the MercedesShe is very beautiful and she lets herself be loved, she likes hundreds and wants my Cartier
Eleven, lucky number seven Well alert and we’re going strongBuzzing in the RZR, masks, dust, and vibeMy teeth shineI’m not preppyBut in Egypt, I smoke shishasFor fresh seafood, JapanTira jodido, lira jodidónMakabelico playing, the blonds dancing with a delinquent beatA bunch of hooded bellicose chicksNothing happens, no one stops themWho are they? I ask myself the same questionEach salute carries big moneyAll in Louis Vuitton with a heck of a flow
Don Perignon Lady Gaga, Glasses on the faceDrugged and washed Tripled washed, and a bandit who calls me, she wants my moneyAnd it’s not bad because she seduces me like an animalNo one uploads anything to Instagram, they just enjoy, they just enjoy
Original Spanish lyrics to “Lady Gaga”:
Dom Pérignon, Lady Gaga, lentes en la cara, tussi y lavadaTriple lavada, y una bandida que me llama, quieren mi lanaY no está mal, porque me seduce como animalNinguna sube nada al InstagramSolo disfrutan, solo disfrutan
Pura influencer bien placosa, las que navegamos y las volamosIslas privadas en yate, tronamos las pacas y sin YolandaMe vo’a enfiestar, polvito rosa, plumita de waxEsa cintura vale 30k, no puedes pagar, no te va a alcanzar
Viviendo en el San Andrés, pero de a deberas, carros y feriaTres estrellas me atoraron la clave en caliente, desafanaronTussi y cocaineMe gusta el Lambo, pero es el MercedEsa es muy bella y se deja quererLe gustaría si alguien quiere mi Cartier
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ahAh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Y así nomás, compa Peso, compa JuniorCompa Gabito, Doble P, uh, cha-chauPura Doble P, viejilloQue siga la mata dando, compa JuniorCompa Gabito
Once, número de suerteSiete bien pendientes y andamos fuertesZumbando en el Razer, máscaras, polvo y ambienteBrillan mis dientesNo soy fresón, pero en Egipto shishas fumo yoPara mariscos frescos en JapónMira jodido, ‘ira, jodidón
Makabelico sonando, las güeras bailando con beat malandroPura encapuchada bélica, no pasa nada, nadie las paga¿Que quiénes son? Eso mismito me pregunto yoCada saludo lleva un billetónPura Louis Vuitton, trae un flow cabrón
Dom Pérignon, Lady Gaga, lentes en la cara, tussi y lavadaTriple lavada, y una bandida que me llama, quiere mi lanaY no está mal, porque me seduce como animalNinguna sube nada al InstagramSolo disfrutan, solo disfrutan
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ahAh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah

Ovy on the Drums and Blessd exclusively premiere their new collaboration, “Billboard,” on Billboard today (June 28)—nine months after they first created it at the 2022 Billboard Latin Music Week.
The three-minute and 54-second song is backed by Ovy’s innovative reggaeton beats (where violins and hard-hitting drums meet) and Blessd’s sultry, raspy vocals. “Billboard,” named after the place it was born — during our “Making the Hit, Live!” panel at last year’s LMW conference — tells the story of a man who can’t forget about the girl he likes and how everything is so insignificant without her.
Though the lyrics are about an infatuated love, the Colombian urban singer born Stiven Mesa Londoño does reference Billboard, chanting toward the end of the track: “Se me fue la musa pa’l Billboard,” which loosely translates to “my inspiration went to Billboard.”
The simple-yet-aesthetic music video also pays homage to music’s leading magazine, showing the two Medellin-born artists performing the song in the recording studio as they take breaks to read the 2021 “Greatest Hit” issue with The Weeknd on the cover.
Watch the exclusive video premiere below:
Making The Hit, Live!
“Billboard” was created in only 30 minutes during the “Making the Hit, Live!” panel held on Sept. 28, 2022, at Billboard Latin Music Week.
With a laptop, microphone and headphones in hand, both Ovy on the Drums (real name: Daniel Echavarria Oviedo) and Blessd got to work while a sold-out venue observed how they create music in real-time. “It’s the first time I produce a song this way, so much pressure,” said Ovy after taking the stage at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach.
Blessd, on the other hand, felt comfortable as he improvised the lyrics about heartbreak. “I come battling on the streets so my thing is to improvise. I never sit down to write lyrics. Improvising allows me to feel the music,” he said.
Almost nine months after creating the track, Ovy and Blessd released the song — which was mainly finished after reading all the positive feedback on the panel and fans encouraging them to unleash the track. A couple of weeks leading up to the release on June 28, both artists shared snippets of the “Making the Hit, Live!” panel, and shared a preview of the head-bopping reggaeton tune.
“Billboard” is the pair’s fifth collaborative effort, following “Mi Niña,” “Te Extraño,” “Tendencia Global” and “Medallo,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Latin Airplay chart in 2022.
“Our chemistry is great,” Ovy said during the panel. “We have a lot of things in common, which was really important when it came to creating music together.”

The video for Maluma‘s 2020 smash hit, “Hawái,” has just hit a new milestone on YouTube.
The visualizer has surpassed the one billion views, according to the video streaming platform. It’s his 10th video as a lead, featured artist or collaborator to achieve this feat after videos such as “Chantaje” with Shakira, the Ricky Martin-assisted “Vente Pa’ Ca,” and “Felices los 4.” Currently, the Colombian star comes in at #59 on Global Top Artists.
“I thank God and the universe every single day for giving me a song that has taken me around the world,” Maluma tells Billboard. “It’s allowed me to achieve new dreams. Now, with more than one billion views, we’re thinking what comes next and what can take my career to the next level. This is just the beginning.”

The drama-filled music video finds the chart-topping singer-songwriter heartbroken and plotting his next move to get his girl back — even if that means crashing her wedding. Produced by Rude Boyz, the melodious pop song was penned by Maluma, Keityn, Edgar Barrera and Bulle Nene with lyrics set in present day that tell the story of a toxic relationship and the aftermath of a breakup in the Instagram era. “Stop lying to yourself, the photo you put up with him saying he was your everything, I know you only posted it to make me jealous,” Maluma sings.
After releasing “Hawái” in August 2020, Maluma recorded the blockbuster bilingual remix with Canadian star The Weeknd two months later, which spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. It also scored him his highest ranking Billboard Hot 100 hit, where it peaked at No. 12.
“I was in Miami catching up with my close friend Yovanna Ventura [the model in the music video] and she played me the song and I absolutely loved it,” The Weekend previously told Billboard. “I was inspired so I reached out and it was an easy answer from me when I was asked to get on the track. “Big shout out to Maluma for allowing me to try out my Spanish on the song!” he added.

After an unquestionably fruitful performance across Billboard’s charts, Peso Pluma scores his first top 10 on an album chart as Génesis, his third studio set, debuts at No. 10 on the Regional Mexican Albums ranking (dated July 1). The debut comes after less than one day of activity, following its off-cycle release late on Thursday, June 22 — the final day of the chart’s tracking week.
The set is bound to move up the tally on the July 8-dated list, once it has its first full chart tracking week captured. (Albums are typically released on a Friday.)
Génesis was released via Double P, and according to Luminate, the set starts with a little over 3,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending June 22. Streaming accounts for the majority of the 14-track album’s first-week results, which equates to 4.3 million official on-demand streams of the album’s songs.
Génesis follows Sembrando (EP), Pluma’s first appearance on an albums chart, which took him to No. 13 on Regional Mexican Albums (May 13-dated tally) and No. 48 on Top Latin Albums (May 6). Génesis concurrently debuts at No. 35 on Top Latin Albums, a ranking that will likely change next week after the album’s first official tracking week.
Pluma’s first top 10 album arrives following a strong performance across the Billboard charts, placing 20 songs throughout in just over a year, an impressive achievement for a regional Mexican artist.
Further, the 24-year-old changed the regional Mexican music conversation as he took over Hot Latin Songs with 16 simultaneous songs on the May 20-dated list, the most ever for a regional Mexican artist in the chart’s 37-year-old history. Plus, he logged a historic top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to Eslabon Armado’s “Ella Baila Sola,” as the collab became the first regional Mexican top 10 in the chart’s 64-year history.
“Ella” has also paid additional dividends for both Eslabon and Pluma, becoming the first regional Mexican tune to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart (April 29). The song has since, remained atop the tally for six weeks, and counting.
Génesis was preceded by three songs on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs list: “Rosa Pastel,” with Jasiel Nuñez, peaked at No. 24 (May 6), “77,” with Eladio Carrión, reached No. 34 (May 20), while “Bye” holds at its No. 7 high for a third week.
Peso Pluma’s first top 10 album foray on the Billboard charts comes on the heels of his first U.S. tour, Double P Summer tour, which kicked-off July 20 in Inglewood, Calif., and will wrap on Oct. 20 in Anaheim, Calif.
Shakira has been very open and honest about the demise of her relationship with former professional footballer Gerard Piqué, and the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer is continuing her showcase of vulnerability. In a new interview with People en Espanol published Monday (June 26), Shakira shared the extenuating circumstances that made the split even more devastating […]
Chayanne returns to the top 10 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart chart for the first time in nearly six years, as “Bailando Bachata” ascends 14-10 on the July 1-dated survey. The new top 10 follows the song’s debut on the upper region on Tropical Airplay, his first since 2008 there.
“Bailando Bachata” pushes from No. 14 after a 16% jump in audience impressions, to 6.09 million, earned in the U.S. during the June 16-22 tracking week, according to Luminate. It’s week-over-week improvement –the song debuted at No. 19 (June 10-dated chart) and hits the upper region in its fourth week– takes Chayanne back to the top 10 after almost six years. He last placed a No. 10-peaking song with “Qué Me Has Hecho,” featuring Wisin, in Sept. 2017.
With “Bailando,” Chayanne captures his 20th top 10 on Latin Airplay, tying with Luis Fonsi for the eighth-most among all Latin pop acts since the list’s inception in 1994. Here’s the scoreboard:
41, Enrique Iglesias
26, Shakira
28, Ricky Martin
25, Cristian Castro
22, Alejandro Fernández
21, Juanes
21, Luis Miguel
20, Chayanne
20, Luis Fonsi
Chayanne’s 20 top 10s span four decades. He first broke the top 10 barrier in 1996 with the hit “Solamente Tu Amor,” which reached No. 6 and held in the upper region for eight weeks. The Puerto Rican joins the exclusive club of artists who have achieved top 10s on Latin Airplay during the ‘90s, ‘00s, ‘10s, and ‘20s: Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Ricky Martin and Luis Fonsi.
As mentioned, “Bailando” also takes Chayanne to new heights on Tropical Airplay as the song drives 4-3, his highest ranking since “Amor Inmortal” landed at the summit in October 2008, where it remained for five weeks.
Natti Natasha Takes-Off on Tropical Airplay Chart
Elsewhere on the Latin charts, Natti Natasha’s “La Falta Que Me Haces” debuts at No. 5 on Tropical Airplay with 5 million in audience impressions earned in the U.S. during the same tracking week.
“La Falta” was originally released April 20 as a slow-tempo tune and did not enter the charts. The new bachata version was released June 1 via Pina/Sony Music Latin and produced by the Dominican Polo Parra and written by Natti alongside Joss Favela. All versions of the song combined for tracking and charting purposes.
The No. 5 debut marks the highest start for Natti among her six total Troical Airplay appearances. It also becomes her fifth top 10, dating back to her featured role in Don Omar’s one-week champ “Dutty Love” in 2012.
Further, “La Falta” picks up speed on Latin Airplay, jumping 21-17 in its fourth week.
