Morat is slated to take the stage at approximately 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by countryman Sebastián Yatra. The pop star’s performance is scheduled for around 11:15 p.m. ET, after the presentation of comedian Pedro Ruminot.
All performances are part of the six-day lineup of the 64th annual Viña del Mar broadcast, which year after year is Chile’s highest-rated television show. Each night features a headliner, a supporting artist, a comedian and an international song festival in folk and pop categories, where contestants compete every night for a winner in each.

Morat, whose hits include “No Se Va,” “Besos en Guerra” and “Cuando Nadie Ve,” debuted in 2016 with the album Solo El Amor y Sus Efectos Secundarios, and received a Latin Grammy nomination for best new artist the same year. Its fourth and latest LP, 2022’s Si Ayer Fuera Hoy, gave the band its first entry on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart, where it peaked at No. 18. On Tuesday, Morat is making its debut at the Chilean festival.
Yatra, with almost a dozen No. 1s on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart — including “Robarte un Beso” with Carlos Vives, “Tacones Rojos” and “Un Año” with Reik, to name a few — had previously performed in Viña del Mar in 2019 with a full show, as well as the previous year during Vives’ concert, joining him on “Robarte un Beso.”
Viña will continue Wednesday (Feb. 26) with Carlos Vives headlining and Carín León closing; Thursday (Feb. 27) with Incubus, Juan Carlos López and The Cult; and Friday (Feb. 28), urban night, with headliner Duki, Eladio Carrión and Kid Voodoo.
All nights will be livestreamed in the United States on Billboard.com and Billboard Español. Performances can be viewed on the player in this story beginning at 7:15 p.m. ET, or throughout billboard.com and billboardespañol.com.
Grimes posted a pair of previously unreleased demos on Monday (Feb. 24) that the singer said are among her favorite unheard tracks. Both songs are somewhat of a departure for the singer, including the mostly acoustic “The Fool,” which finds her singing new lyrics over Mazzy Star’s beloved 1994 ballad “Fade Into You.”
“Ok I always loved this one I just wrote a diff song over Mazzy Star but the files are forever lost on my laptop that a child poured liquid on,” she wrote on X. “It was just a rly beautiful jam on a poem I wrote I wish I didn’t get discouraged away from it.”
On the gentle track — which she first teased the day before the 2024 presidential election — she sings in her signature helium voice, “Oh you’re a fool, ’cause you tried to give me the moon/ And all I can give back is poetry/ So tell me what to do/ And I’ll convince the stars to love you.”

The second song, “I Don’t Give a F–k, im Insane,” is more in line with the dance pop star’s typical vibe, with a bouncy bass line, ethereal vocals and spare drums. “I don’t give a f–k, I’m insane/ Everybody walk through my brain/ One day, you told me, I’ll fly away, safe,” she sings over the sparse, new wave-like beat.
Of that one she wrote, “Just for good vibes we put up a few ancient demos on SoundCloud 2day – 2019 demo I made. Obviously no time was spent on it but my old manager at would always pester me to finish it and make it a banger but i forgot I suppose… Def has a lot of potential tho I’ll probably make a better topline and produce it one day.”
Meanwhile, as her ex, Elon Musk, buzzsaws through the federal government in his role as an unelected cost-cutter, Grimes also answered some questions from TIME magazine about AI and her strong reaction to the world’s richest man parading their four-year-old son, X, on his shoulders during a recent White House visit.
“It was like, ‘Grimes slams,’ ‘Grimes speaks out.’ It’s like, OK, it was a reply. But I would really like people to stop posting images of my kid everywhere,” she said of the many headlines in which she criticized the “special government employee” for bringing their son to work. “I think fame is something you should consent to. Obviously, things will just be what they are. But I would really, really appreciate that. I can only ask, so I’m just asking,” added the artist who was honored at the TIME100 Impact Awards ceremony in Dubai earlier this month.
At the time, Grimes seemed surprised to see her son sticking his fingers in his dad’s ears as Musk stood over a seated Donald Trump while the president signed an executive order giving the DOGE office more power to continue its legally suspect firing spree of non-partisan public servants. “He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me,” Grimes wrote earlier this month of her surprise at seeing the preschooler accompanying his dad for the Oval Office photo op.
Several days later, Grimes tweeted directly at X owner Musk, saying in a since-deleted tweet, “plz respond about our child’s medical crisis. I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation.”

Jimmy Page and the The Black Crowes are revisiting their 1999 collaboration with an expanded edition of Live at the Greek, and they’ve just shared a fresh taste from it—a newly unearthed live recording of Led Zeppelin’s “The Lemon Song.”

Originally recorded during a soundcheck, this take on the Led Zeppelin II classic captures the raw chemistry between Page and the Crowes as they breathed new life into Zeppelin’s bluesy, groove-heavy material. It’s one of several unreleased tracks included in the expanded reissue, which drops March 14.
“I’m really looking forward to the soon-to-be-available release of Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes material from concerts in 1999,” Page said in a statement. “The new mixes capture the collaboration of those historic encounters and provide the full explosive passion and exciting energy of those alchemical moments.”
Trending on Billboard
For the Black Crowes, the experience of playing alongside Page was a rare and memorable moment. “The new Live at the Greek box set brings the whole experience of our work with Jimmy into a vibrant, electric, mystical and powerful perspective,” frontman Chris Robinson said. “Hail, hail rock ‘n’ roll!”
Rich Robsinson added, “Going through the shows and putting together the new box set has been such an incredible dive back to that time in our history. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill to play these amazing iconic songs with the man who composed them. The sound of the new mixes and extra songs blew me away when I first heard them.”
The expanded edition of Live at the Greek adds 15 new tracks to the original 2000 release, including fresh recordings of Zeppelin classics like “Custard Pie,” “You Shook Me,” and “Ten Years Gone,” as well as additional Black Crowes originals like “Remedy” and “Wiser Time.”
The announcement comes as the Black Crowes continue a busy stretch. Just last month, the recently reunited band joined an all-star benefit concert in Los Angeles to raise funds for wildfire relief. Their set featured guest appearances from rock legends John Fogerty—who joined for Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”—and Slash, who strapped on an acoustic guitar for a rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Going to California.”
The Live at the Greek deluxe edition arrives March 14.
Olivia Kuper Harris didn’t just step onto The Voice stage—she transported it to another era. Taking on Doris Day’s timeless ballad “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” the Dallas-born singer draped the room in nostalgia, delivering a performance so rich and velvety it felt like a lost recording from jazz’s golden age.

John Legend, Adam Levine, and Kelsea Ballerini couldn’t resist.
Legend was the first to turn his chair, drawn in by Harris’ effortless control. Levine wasn’t far behind, nudging Ballerini to do the same. “What are you waiting for?” he asked, prompting her to hit her button.
Trending on Billboard
“I don’t know! You’re so right,” Ballerini admitted.
As the final note hung in the air, Levine turned to Harris with a grin. “You’re really special,” he said, making it clear she had impressed him. Then, in true Adam fashion, he took a playful jab at his fellow Coach. “And Michael Bublé is a fool.”
Legend, ever the strategist, made his pitch. “What got me at first was just the beauty of your tone,” he said on the warmth and elegance Harris brought to the song. Ballerini added that Harris’ voice had a rare quality—something that could transcend genres and connect with all types of listeners.
Harris, overwhelmed with emotion, took a deep breath. She had come looking for a sign, a confirmation that this was the path she was meant to follow. “Being on stage, I feel like it’s my purpose in life,” she said. “It makes me emotional because I’ve looked for so many other things I could possibly do… and this is it, man.”
With three Coaches vying for her, the decision was hers.
Ultimately, it was Legend’s pitch that resonated most with Harris. She joined his team, adding another unique voice to his roster for The Voice Season 27.
Harris’ audition stood out not just for its technical precision but for its ability to evoke an era long past. While many hopefuls lean into pop, R&B, or powerhouse ballads, Harris took a different route—one that paid off in a big way.
As the competition heats up, it remains to be seen how Harris will evolve under Legend’s mentorship. But if her Blind Audition was any indication, The Voice might have just found its next great jazz revivalist.
Sam Fender might only be days removed from the release of his third album, People Watching, but already the English musician is thinking of shaking things up for his next record.

On Friday (Feb. 21), Fender put an end to the multi-year wait for another studio album by releasing People Watching as the follow-up to 2021’s critically-acclaimed Seventeen Going Under. Having teased the album since the release of its title track in November, the record is on its way to becoming a watershed moment for the singer-songwriter.
However, while Fender has managed to harness his heartland rock style with great success, a new interview indicates that he’s looking for a bit of a sonic shift when it comes to album number four.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Fender revealed that he has piles of new material at the ready, going so far as to show his phone to the interviewer and previewing “dozens of demos.” According to the article, these include songs such as “Drugs” and “Hornsby,” the latter of which is named for its sonic similarities to U.S. musician Bruce Hornsby.
Most notably, Fender adds that he’s “desperate” to record a punk album. “I’m buzzing! I’m just singing at you!” he tells the interviewer, going so far as to belt out a Tom Petty-esque track as a preview.
“People are going to hate you, whether you’re a saint, sinner, giver or a taker,” Fender sings on one of his as-yet-unreleased tracks. “But a big old heart is all that it’s worth. And he said, ‘You’ve got a big old heart, kid! Don’t let them own it.’”
Currently, it remains to be seen when Fender will actually get some time to hit the studio and work on his desired punk album, given his hectic live schedule.
In December, he cut short a run of U.K. tour dates following a diagnosis of a hemorrhaged vocal cord, and he’s currently set to return to the global stage for a series of European dates in early March. He’ll hit the U.S. and Canada the following month, with a series of summer dates scheduled for the U.K. and Europe throughout June, July, and August.
Before he returns to the touring circuit, Fender will also perform at the Brit Awards on Saturday (March 1). He’s also up for two awards at the ceremony, including British artist of the year, and best alternative/rock act, the latter of which he previously won in 2022.
Iconic Chilean songstress Myriam Hernández graced the stage on Monday (Feb. 24) at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, marking her first performance at the event in over 20 years. At 7:45 p.m. ET, the singer made a memorable entrance with “El Hombre Que Yo Amo,” her hit from 1992, accompanied by a live band featuring keyboards, melancholic violins, and a cello.
Dressed elegantly in a black, beaded gown with a leg slit, Hernández showcased her signature vocal range and poise right from the start. She continued with a seamless transition into “Te Pareces Tanto A Él,” accompanied by striking visuals including fiery planet imagery, masks, and bucolic scenery.
The show continued with the ranchera-tinged “Nos Lo Hemos Dicho Todo,” continuing to display her exceptional vocal prowess. “Good evening Viña, I dreamed of this moment. 23 years have passed, and 35 years since I stood up on this stage for the first time; and you made that dream of that four-year-old girl come true,” she said in between songs. “I just have to give infinite thanks to God, to you, to all of you.”
Following nostalgic hits like “Mío” and a vibrant medley that included “Dónde Estará Mi Primavera” and “Rescátame,” the stage came alive with more dynamic visuals. Chilean musician Valentín Trujillo also joined her for “Se Me Fue” on the grand piano, enriching the historic moment.
One of the night’s highlights was the appearance of the Power Peralta twins, whose electrifying dance moves in fiery red pants and sparkly B.B. Simon belts — and their washboard abs — complemented Hernández’s performance of “Leña Y Fuego.” The star, now in a shorter, more flamboyant dress, continued to rev up the energy, surrounded by a dozen female dancers, cementing her status as a queen of the stage. “Myriam, you are the queen of Chile, and thank you very much for representing us so well,” exclaimed one of the Power Peralta brothers.
The emotional peak of the night arrived as Hernández was awarded the prestigious Gaviota de Platino — which has only been awarded four times (Luis Miguel, Juan Gabriel, Lucho Gatica, Los Jaivas) in its 64th history of the festival; she is the fifth artist to receive the coveted prize. “It is so difficult to talk and describe what I feel,” said the emotional performer. “I am proud to be Chilean, and that is my flag to the whole world, you are my greatest motivation.”
As Hernández sang “Ay Amor,” tears streamed down her face. “Myriam Hernández, the balladeer of America, leaves an indelible mark on Viña and all who witnessed this historic return,” remarked one of the announcers as the showcase came to an end.
Viña will continue that night with the duo Ha*Ash, and on Tuesday (Feb. 25) with Colombian’s Morat headlining and Sebastian Yatra; Feb. 26 with Carlos Vives headlining and Carín León; Feb. 27 with Incubus, Juan Carlos López and The Cult; and Feb. 28, urban night, with headliner Duki, Eladio Carrión and Kid Voodoo.
Tony Hawk has taken to social media to lament the fact that Kurt Cobain isn’t alive to meet the grandchild they share.
In September 2024, it was announced that Hawk’s son Riley and Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean had given birth to a baby boy. “Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk,” Cobain wrote on social media, revealing her son’s birth date as Sept. 17. “Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.”
While the couple’s 2023 marriage and subsequent parenthood was the dream pairing that ‘90s kids the world over could have hoped for, it also resulted in the newborn boasting two of the decade’s most iconic and influential figures as his grandfathers.

Now in his own post on social media, Tony Hawk has reflected on the impact that Kurt Cobain had upon his life, reflecting on a Nirvana gig he once attended and sharing his desire that Cobain could have met their shared grandson.
Hawk’s post was shared to Instagram Stories over the weekend and featured a ticket stub to an Oct. 20, 1991 Nirvana concert at the long-gone Houston, TX venue The Vatican. According to Hawk, he was in the area for a skateboarding competition and went directly from the event to the show.
“It was as transformative as live music can possibly be,” Hawk wrote of the gig. “We all experienced something rare and powerful that night. The world would never be the same.”
The event itself took place right on the cusp of Nirvana’s massive global takeover. Priced at just $10, the show took place just shy of four weeks after the seminal grunge outfit had released their breakthrough album, Nevermind. Just under three months later, the record would topple Michael Jackson’s Dangerous to claim the top spot on the Billboard 200, and swiftly turning the group into household names.
“I wish Kurt were here so he could see the incredible woman his daughter has become, meet her devoted, caring husband, and hold our wondrous grandchild,” Hawk added to his post.
Both Nirvana and Tony Hawk have found themselves at the forefront of the news cycle recently. While the surviving members of Nirvana performed separate reunion sets with celebrity vocalists for the FireAid LA Benefit Concert and Saturday Night Live’s SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, Hawk’s eponymous video game series has been the talk of the gaming world thanks to rumors of a new volume to be announced next week.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet hits No. 1 for the first time on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, as the six-month-old set jumps 6-1 on the list dated March 1. It vaults to No. 1 following its deluxe reissue on Feb. 14 with five additional bonus tracks on CD, digital download and two vinyl variants.
In the week ending Feb. 20 in the U.S., Short n’ Sweet sold 71,000 copies across all versions – old and new combined – increasing by 616% in sales. It’s the second-largest sales week for the project, following its opening week (Sept. 7, 2024-dated chart), when it launched at No. 2 with 184,000 copies sold.
Short n’ Sweet marks Carpenter’s first No. 1 on Top Album Sales out of seven total entries on the list.
Short n’ Sweet also returns to No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, for a third nonconsecutive week, as it sold nearly 48,000 copies on vinyl (up 626%). Of Short n’ Sweet’s total overall sales to date, vinyl sales comprise 61% (372,000 of 606,000).
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units. The new March 1, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 25.
Elsewhere on the latest Top Album Sales chart, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX falls 1-2 with 30,000 copies sold (down 74%) while PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U bows at No. 3 with 25,000. The Lumineers’ Automatic arrives at No. 4 with 16,000 while Chappell Roan’s chart-topping The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess rounds out the top five, falling 4-5 with 11,000 sold (down 22%).
The Weeknd’s former No. 1 Hurry Up Tomorrow falls 2-6 (11,000; down 63%), Stray Kids’ chart-topping HOP rises 9-7 (8,000; down less than 1%), Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft slips 7-8 (nearly 8,000; down 21%), the Wicked film soundtrack falls 8-9 (nearly 7,000; down 24%) and Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city is a non-mover at No. 10 (6,000; down 10%).
Kendrick Lamar and SZA made waves with their latest team-up, “Luther” off Lamar’s newest album, GNX.
“Luther” made its way up to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, marking Lamar’s sixth leader and SZA’s third. The single’s title is an ode to late R&B legend Luther Vandross, who is sampled on the track.
“Luther” replaced Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us” atop the Hot 100, just week after the latter returned to to the top spot, thanks to the performance during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. “Luther” was also a part of the halftime set, with SZA appearing as a surprise guest.
