Juan Luis Guerra and Sting, two of the most globally admired artists in music, surprise their fans Thursday night (Nov. 6) with a new version of “Estrellitas y Duendes” — a classic by the Dominican maestro, included on his iconic 1990 album Bachata Rosa — which you can preview exclusively above. (Return at 7:00 p.m. ET to watch the full music video).

The sweet song — a bachata with bolero elements that expresses the pain and melancholy of a lost love through deeply poetic lyrics — returns 35 years later to unite Guerra’s celebrated sound with Sting’s unmistakable artistic sensitivity, with the latter taking on the task of singing entirely in Spanish.
“Juan Luis’ lyrics in ‘Estrellitas y Duendes’ are a master class in what one might call romantic magical realism. I had to try to sing them exactly as they were written because they’re impeccable,” Sting says in a statement to Billboard Español. “My Spanish pronunciation is hardly perfect, but the spirit in which I sang them is genuine and true.”
For Guerra, this came as a surprise. “We recorded remotely, and what stood out to me the most is that he wanted to record it all in Spanish,” he explains separately in a Zoom interview. “It’s a somewhat challenging song, with metaphorical words that aren’t very common, and he did it impressively well. I know he put in special effort.”
In its new version, “Estrellitas y Duendes” keeps the elegant, evocative instrumentation and arrangements of the original basically intact, but it’s Sting’s voice that opens with the romantic line: “Viviré en tu recuerdo como un simple aguacero de estrellitas y duendes” (“I will live in your memory like a simple downpour of little stars and elves”). From there, both artists take turns singing the different verses in a sweet back-and-forth of their unmistakable voices.
This isn’t the first time these two music legends have collaborated in some way. In 2006, Sting invited Guerra on stage during a concert at Altos de Chavón in La Romana, Dominican Republic, to perform “Fragile” together.
Almost two decades later, Guerra was re-recording “Estrellitas y Duendes” for an upcoming album of new versions of his songs when Sting’s name came up as a possible collaborator. “We approached him, and he accepted, and for me, it was a privilege and an honor to have him as one of the greatest representations of rock in the world,” Guerra says. “Besides, we are fans of his and have always admired him.”
Sting recalls that it was his manager Martin Kierszenbaum, who is a Spanish-speaker “and, like me, a big admirer of Juan Luis’ compositions,” the one who encouraged him to lend his voice to this classic by Guerra, “one of his favorites.” They immediately recorded his part one afternoon at Night Bird Studios in Los Angeles.
Guerra notes that this happened a couple of years ago, explaining that they had to wait for the right moment to release it. Finally ready, they met in person a few months ago to shoot the music video at Power Station Studios in New York, directed by Guerra Films.
Juan Luis Guerra and Sting both have extraordinary legacies in music. The former, one of the most celebrated Latin artists in history, has received three Grammy Awards and 31 Latin Grammys. The latter, both as a solo artist and as the leader of The Police, has earned 17 Grammy Awards, as well as a Golden Globe, an Emmy, and multiple Oscar nominations.
Released on December 11, 1990 under Karen Records, Bachata Rosa debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Tropical Albums and topped the chart for 12 weeks. “Estrellitas y Duendes,” the fifth single from the set, reached No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs in 1991.

Pharrell Williams is looking to change the accessory game once again. His new Louis Vuitton Touch collection is redefining men’s luxury bags.
As per The Robb Report, Pharrell Williams has helped curate yet another product expansion for the Maison. This month, Louis Vuitton announced the launch of the LV Touch Leather Goods Line.

Each piece is crafted from either suede or calfskin making them supple to the touch and enhancing the sensory experience.
Materials aside, the form and construction offer versatility, letting users flex from the workplace to social settings. The debut set features six selections including the Steamer 30, its signature over the shoulder Hobo and a cross body Delta Slingbag. While each has a point of difference in terms of usage, feel and look, the Steamer 30 is the clear standout. This version reinterprets the classic canvas bag that was intended to carry laundry on long trips. With two handles on top and an optional strap, this selection allows for it to go cross body or carried by hand.

Puma x ‘Wicked’ Speedcat Goodness
A Glinda-themed Speedcat sneaker.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Speedcat Elphie
A Elphaba-themed Speedcat sneaker.
The Speedcat is a Puma silhouette rooted in athleticism. Initially created for Formula 1 drivers, the silhouette is aerodynamic and flexible, a performance style that was made exceedingly wearable via this collaboration. The two traditional Speedcat silhouettes, both retailing for $110, now have designs inspired by Elphaba and Glinda.
The Glinda-inspired silhouette called Goodness is a dreamy lilac hue accompanied by truly whimsical touches like sheer ribbon trim and bubble embroidery, making the shoe look just as light and airy as it feels on the foot. The speedy striping on the side of this style is an iridescent hue, reminiscent of the look of the bubbles Glinda floats in. On the flipside, you’ve got the Elphaba style, aptly called Elphie, which is a moody black with emerald green accents. The uppers feature a floral-esque crushed velvet fabric, imparting textural interest.
The Speedcat is insanely comfortable and casual thanks to the low-profile design, meaning you can style it in a myriad of ways. The themed design also makes both silhouettes a stand-out. Plus, for a collaborative piece, the price tag is not bad, considering regular Puma Speedcat styles are usually around the same price. Great for holiday gift-giving, either or style is a must-have, especially for the major Wicked fan in your life.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Speedcat Ballet Silver Slippers
A Wicked-themed Speedcat ballet flat.
Another Speedcat model, but this time in ballet flat form. It’s the Speedcat Ballet Silver Slippers, paying homage to Dorothy Gale’s footwear in The Wizard of Oz, which, if you didn’t know by now, was originally silver, not ruby red. Retailing for $90, this style comes in sizes for women and kids and features metallic outsoles, sparkling straps and textured embroidery throughout.
This style sort of reminds us of the Tin Man, what with all the silver. Metallic footwear is becoming exceedingly popular, especially as we get into the colder months. Ballet flats have also gotten extremely popular, especially as people are shifting away from heeled items for something way more comfortable. We can see this shoe translating well to outfits at the office or a casual trip to grab coffee. Why not get ahead of the trend and snag these today?
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Women’s Goodness Hoodie
A Wicked-themed hoodie for women.
The women’s Goodness hoodie is a hero piece from the collection. What we mean by that is it’s one of the more eye-catching styles and one we think people will be snatching up left and right. Retailing for $100, this hoodie comes in sizes XS to XL and features that same lilac hue seen on Glinda’s Speedcat sneakers.
The piece is cropped and affixed with baggy arms that are equipped with a delicate ballet-inspired lace-up design that we just know Glinda would love. The front and back of the hoodie are affixed with Puma x Wicked co-branding, including a striking crown design. The sleeves have subtle butterfly detailing, a common Glinda motif. As we get into the colder seasons, this hoodie is sure to come in handy. While it is cropped, the boxy composition makes it super cozy. The hoodie is also made of a fleece material that helps keep the cold at bay, so you’ll be looking cute and warm all winter long.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Oz Tee
A Wicked-themed t-shirt.
Puma knows how to make a great graphic tee, and this Oz tee is no exception. Retailing for $50, the shirt currently comes in sizes XS to XXL. The piece is slightly boxy and made of soft, easy to wash and breathable cotton fabric, great if you get hot easily (no shame). The front of the tee features Puma x Wicked graphics with pops of pink and green throughout.
Above the graphic, flying monkeys hover, looking as if they’re guarding the graphic from harms way. To give it a lived-in look, the tee includes a washed design, mimicking the look of the well-loved tees you might find at a vintage store. All in all, this is a classic silhouette with subtle nods to the film. Styled with your favorite denim and a bomber jacket overtop, you’ll be ready to sit in theaters before long. If you’re in the market for a new t-shirt and you don’t want to spend tons on a perfectly distressed style, this tee is for you.
Puma x ‘Wicked’ Oz Fleece Hoodie
A Wicked-themed hoodie.
Finally, we have the Oz Fleece Hoodie, another ultra-cozy piece retailing for $100. Current sizing runs from XXS to XXL. As mentioned, this hoodie is made of a cozy fleece material that insulates the wearer, especially if you get damp from the snow or rain we’re bound to have in the thick of fall. While this hoodie is marketed for men, it can easily be unisex, much like the other items in this collection. The style is an emerald green, a nod to the Emerald City, with pink accents.
The front of the hoodie reads, “The Wizard sees everything,” a slightly ominous Oz-inspired graphic that we can’t help but fangirl over. Like the t-shirt before it, this hoodie also has a distressed wash, giving it that lived-in look without all the effort. This hoodie is another great option if you haven’t prepped your closet for the colder months yet. It’ll certainly keep you warm and stylish too. The colorway also screams Wicked, perfect for your next watch party or theater experience.
Following the box office success that was Wicked in 2024, Wicked: For Good hits theaters on Friday, Nov. 21, just one day shy of the one-year anniversary of the film’s first half. The sequel was first announced on X in April by director Jon M. Chu’s “OzPhone.” The filmmaker wrote at the time, “With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys of these beloved characters.”

Charli xcx wasn’t messing around when she took on the assignment of writing an original song for Emerald Fennell’s upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation.
On Thursday (Nov. 6), the pop star posted a teaser for the track, titled “House,” and shared a long description of the creative process behind how she made it — including how she teamed up with surprise guest the Velvet Underground’s John Cale for the project. Explaining that she was immediately taken with the “world [Fennell] was creating” after the director reached out about making a song for Wuthering Heights last Christmas, Charli wrote, “After being so in the depths of my previous album [Brat], I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite.”
“When I think of Wuthering Heights, I think of many things,” she continued. “I think of passion and pain. I think of the Moors, I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit.”
The singer went on to say that while working on the music for the movie — which will star Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff — she kept returning to a phrase she’d heard Cale use to describe his band’s music in a Velvet Underground documentary. “Any song had to be both ‘elegant and brutal,’” Charli wrote. “When the summer ended I was still ruminating on John’s words.”
This led Charli to reach out to Cale with the idea of collaborating on the scoring project, after which he sent her a poem that made her “cry.”
“I feel so lucky to have been able to work with John on this song,” she added in her note. “I’ve been so excited to share it with you all, sitting quietly in anticipation.”
“House” will arrive Monday, months ahead of when Wuthering Heights is set to hit theaters in February next year. In the song teaser, Charli appears on the screen lying on the side of her face while a man’s hand presses into her hair.
“Can I speak to you privately for a moment?” a deep voice says from off camera over sparse violin strikes.
Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights is just the latest screen adaptation of Emily Brontë’s iconic gothic novel of the same name. In September, the first teaser trailer for the film dropped, featuring “Everything Is Romantic” from Charli’s Brat album. “House” will mark Charli’s first release since unveiling the full Brat remix album in October 2024.

Mon Laferte is back in the top 10 on Billboard’s Top Latin Pop Albums chart as Femme Fatale, her 10th studio album, debuts at No. 10 on the chart dated Nov. 8, marking her third top 10 on the ranking.
“One night, I stayed on the terrace of my house, listening to voice notes and reading old texts on my phone,” Mon Laferte tells Billboard. “I finished a bottle of wine, probably smoked a pack of cigarettes, and watched the sunrise. That early morning, I gathered and invented 54 songs. That’s how Femme Fatale began.”
Femme Fatale starts at No. 10 on Top Latin Albums chart with 2,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending Oct. 30, according to Luminate. The album, released Oct. 24 on Sony Music Latin, includes collabs with Conociendo Rusia, Nathy Peluso, Natalia Lafourcade, Silvana Estrada and Tiago IORC.
Of its opening-week total, 1,000 units come from streaming activity, equating to 1.9 million official on-demand streams of the album’s tracks. Another 1,000 units are attributed to traditional album sales, while song sales contribute minimally to the overall sum.
Laferte’s third top 10 on Top Latin Pop Albums follows the No. 9-peaking Norma in 2019. A year earlier, La Trenza earned the Chilean her first entry on any albums ranking. It peaked at No. 4 in May 2018.
Was Laferte surprised to debut in the top 10? “Honestly, not really,” Laferte says. “When I finished Femme Fatale, I realized it was a very personal, even uncomfortable album. To be honest, I didn’t think about the numbers; for me, it was kind of an exorcism. But the fact that it connected with so many people excites me a lot because it means there is an audience ready to look at vulnerability from a different place, without fear or guilt.”
Two weeks prior to Femme Fatale’s drop, Laferte secured her first appearance across multiple Latin songs chart through the Rauw Alejandro collab, “Callejón De Los Secretos.” The song debuted at No. 50 on Hot Latin Songs, plus peaked at Nos. 4 and 9 on Hot Tropical Songs and Tropical Airplay charts, respectively.

Slipknot’s legal maneuver to take over the slipknot dot com URL has hit a speed bump, as the domain owner has hired a lawyer and declared that it intends to battle the band in court for control of the website.
The metal band initiated a lawsuit last month claiming an anonymous cybersquatter is selling counterfeit merchandise on slipknot.com. The case was brought under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, a 1999 federal law that allows intellectual property owners to seize control of infringing domain names.

Cybersquatting lawsuits often target anonymous site owners who do not respond to the allegations, leading courts to enter no-show default judgments and transfer the domain names without a fight. Big-name brands like Facebook, Verizon and Nintendo have all won these kinds of default rulings over the years.
Slipknot’s lawyers might have expected a default win in this case, since the identity of slipknot.com’s operator is not known. But the anonymous site owner has hired a lawyer: Jeff Neuman, a Virginia-based attorney who specializes in internet domain policy.
“Claimant is the lawful and long-time registrant of the domain name, having continuously owned and maintained it for approximately 24 years,” wrote Neuman in a Wednesday (Nov. 5) court filing.
Neuman says he was just retained on Wednesday (Nov. 5), after the operating entity Slipknot Online Services Ltd. learned about the lawsuit and the risk of a default judgment. He’s asking a judge to push back deadlines so he can review the case and protect his client’s interests.

“Claimant expressly reserves all defenses … including but not limited to challenges to jurisdiction, ownership, priority and any alleged bad-faith intent to profit,” Neuman wrote. “Counsel acted promptly to file this motion the same day to preserve claimant’s rights.”
Neuman declined to comment on the matter on Thursday (Nov. 6), telling Billboard that he is “still getting up to speed on everything.” A lawyer for Slipknot also declined to comment.
Slipknot’s lawsuit, filed on Oct. 15 in Virginia federal court, claims slipknot.com hosts pay-for-click advertising that directs users to counterfeit band apparel and other merch. These sponsored links trick unwitting Slipknot fans who are looking online for official band merch, the complaint alleges.
The metal band says the cybersquatting here is intentional. Slipknot has been actively recording and touring since the 1990s, and the lawsuit claims its anonymous adversary registered the slipknot.com domain in 2001, after the band rose to prominence.

Wack 100 recently had to stand on business after Adin Ross made some questionable comments.
The streamer made it very clear which side he was on during Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar. Appearing on many streams with the 6 God. During a sitdown with West Coast dot connector, Wack 100, the two traded thoughts on Kendrick and Drake. Things went left quickly when Ross accused Kenny of allegedly physically abusing his wife, Whitney Alford.
The streamer was shut down quickly, as Wack points out, he had 0 facts to back up such a wild statement. Wack also put the nail in the conversation when he told Adin, “You’re a white guy, so y’all always think black people did some sh*t.”
Kendrick and his wife reportedly stayed at a hotel in 2014, where the alleged incident took place. After the beef between Drizzy and Kenny died down, a website surfaced featuring a video of an alleged hotel employee breaking down the story. Kendrick later went on The Breakfast Club and denied that anything ever happened between him and his partner.
Wack 100 made it clear from the start of the stream that he is Team Kendrick in this beef. Even though he ties to Cash Money and Birdman (and by extension, Drake), he still stands with his West Coast bredren.
Kendrick and his team have not commented on Adin Ross’s allegations against him.

A paternity test has confirmed that Cardi B’s boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, is the father of Instagram-celebrity Aileen Lopera’s baby, Charliee Harper Diggs-Lopera.
“The paternity has been confirmed. Mr. Diggs is the father of the child,” Lopera’s attorney, Tamar Arminak, told Page Six. “Now that the child’s paternity has been established and Mr. Diggs has acknowledged his daughter, my client hopes they can work toward being great parents to their child.”
Despite paternity being determined, Lopera’s attorney told Page Six that the case has not been dismissed, and if the two parents can’t work out parental decisions, the case “will move forward if the parties are not able to resolve [their issue] themselves.”
According to Page Six, Lopera, who is an online ambassador for Fashion Nova, launched a paternity suit against the 31-year-old New England Patriots wide receiver in December 2024.
Lopera initially wanted the court to give her both legal and physical custody of the child, with Diggs being allowed visitation rights. She also wanted Diggs to pay for her pregnancy and birth expenses and her attorney fees.
Lopera gave birth to the baby in April 2024, Page Six reports.
A few months after the baby was born, Diggs countered Lopera’s paternity suit by requesting a paternity test, adding that he was “not certain” he was the child’s father. Tf the paternity test proved Diggs to be the father, then the wide receiver wanted joint legal and physical custody. He also requested to split the birth expenses and the lawyer’s fees.
Diggs is currently dating Cardi B, and the couple is expecting their first child.
“I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” she revealed in September during an interview with CBS Mornings.
“I’m excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work, but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”
Cardi, 33, shares three children with her estranged husband, Offset; Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 1. Diggs has a 9-year-old daughter, Nova, with his ex, Tyler-Marie.

Following the smash success that the film Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc experienced, Jins Eyewear has dropped a collection of Chainsaw Man eyewear that anime fans won’t want to miss out on.

The eyewear collection includes five frames retailing for $190, all inspired by characters from the ever-popular anime and manga series, including Makima, Aki, Power and Denji. There’s even a Reze model, inspired by the new film and the character, otherwise known as Bomb Girl.
Additionally, each piece comes nestled in an ultra-cute Chainsaw Man-themed case with a starter-cord design, mirroring the one Denji has to pull to activate his powers, along with a cleaning cloth featuring Denji’s beloved sidekick Pochita. If you or a loved one is a fan of anime, especially Chainsaw Man, we’d highly suggest you snag this collection. It makes the perfect gift for the fashionable anime fan in your life, or for yourself.
Worldwide, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc made $141,161,147, with a breakdown of $108,200,000 internationally and $32,961,147 domestic, according to Box Office Mojo. These are impressive numbers, but here at ShopBillboard, we’re all about the music. The anime’s opening theme, titled “Kick Back” by Japanese musician Kenshi Yonezu, peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales. On Billboard Japan‘s Hot 100 charts, the track peaked at No. 1. Yonezu has three top 10 hits on Billboard‘s charts. Yonezu’s track was released digitally back in 2022, along with three physical releases.
Below we’ve highlighted the eyewear collection that you can shop online right now at Jins.com.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Chainsaw Man Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
This model is inspired by the Chainsaw Man himself, Denji. The silhouette features a thin, bold bridge design modeled after Denji’s razor-sharp teeth, while the temples are accented with the starter rope motif. The inner temple tips are engraved with chainsaw blades, while the end pieces showcase Chainsaw Man’s distinctive “eyes.” The silhouette, like all the rest, aptly depicts the essence of Denji and his demon form. This is one of the more playful models in the collection, a standout for sure if you’re looking for something more stylistic.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Makima Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
Makima is a polarizing character — however, we’re sure these glasses are a hit. The Makima-inspired model comes in black with thick frames and rounded lenses, accompanied by subtle details hinting at the character’s striking yet haunting eyes. These are one of the plainer models in the collection, but one we can see people gravitating toward because of the subtle Makima-inspired design elements.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Power Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
These Power-inspired frames are a favorite of ours. The model captures Power’s playful and utterly unserious disposition with nods to the character’s most iconic features, like her horns seen on the bridge design. You also get subtle cracked details, a callback to the mighty hammer she wields. The temple ends feature a charming design of Meowy, Power’s beloved cat, adding a touch of mischief to the look. The horn-esque detailing on the bridge is unlike anything we’ve seen from eyewear before, making it a must-have if you’re looking for more interesting frames. Unlike all of the models in this collection, this style has silver frames instead of black, another reason these Power frames are the most unique of the bunch.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Aki Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
Maybe we’re a bit biased, but these Aki frames are pretty epic. This is another plain style, much like the Makima ones, fixed with subtle details that nod to the character. The gray demi pattern evokes smoke from a cigarette, a favorite of Aki’s. Subtle motifs of his sword and the Future Devil, a demon Aki made a contract with, complete the look. The frames are less bulky than the other offerings in this collection. If you’re looking for a subdued silhouette with subtle nods to the anime, then this model should be in your shopping cart.
JINS X CHAINSAW MAN Reze Model
Glasses inspired by Chainsaw Man.
One of the most interesting models in the collection is the Reze model, named after the anime film’s arc centered around Bomb Girl. These are half frames adorned with a delicate flower motif accompanied by a subtle detail at the neckline reflecting Reze’s iconic grenade pin. While Reze is a lesser-known character, this design makes us want to know more. The unique frames are unlike anything we’ve seen before, a stylish offering for those anime fan trend setters.
Chainsaw Man centers around the main character Denji, a young man down on his luck who works as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents. Everything is going surprisingly well until the yakuza betrays him and has him killed.
On the verge of death, Denji’s beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog Pochita made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man. The film takes place directly after the events of Chainsaw Man season one in what is called the Reze arc, also known as the Bomb Girl arc. It covers chapters 40 to 52 in the manga.
