With Easter weekend upon us, there are great new music releases for any genre fanatic out this week.

Kicking things off is Beyoncé’s long-awaited Cowboy Carter album, which features her Hot 100 chart-topper “Texas Hold ‘Em.” In a message posted to Instagram earlier in the month, Beyoncé both stressed that Cowboy Carter is “a continuation of Renaissance” and acknowledged the Billboard chart history she made with “Texas Hold ‘Em.” “I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart,” she shared. “That would not have happened without the outpouring of support from each and every one of you. My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant.”

J-Hope also unveiled his fittingly titled mini-album Hope on the Street Vol. 1. The six-track mini-album was described in a press release as spanning a “diverse array of sounds and moods that showcase j-hope’s musical prowess and depth.” It also features a number of special guests, including band mate Jung Kook on “i wonder,” as well as Benny Blanco and Chic’s Nile Rodgers on “lock/ unlock,” a dance mix of “what if” with Jinbo the SuperFreak and “NEURON” featuring South Korean hip-hop vet Gaeko of Dynamic Duo and yoonmirae.

This week’s notable release was Shakira’s 12th studio album, and her first in seven years, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, where she takes fans on a journey of transformation following a sentimental breakup that left her fragile and sensitive but brought her back to music. The set delivers a captivating blend of pop, Afrobeats (“Nassau”), bachata (“Monotonía”), Tex-Mex rhythms (“(Entre Paréntesis)”) and a return to her rock roots (“Cómo Dónde y Cuándo”), and includes the focus single “Puntería” with Cardi B.

Speaking of collabs, Peruvian singer-songwriter Nicole Zignago and Colombian hitmaker Camilo united their ethereal vocals for “mimos,” a pop-ballad that will tug at your heartstrings; and Fonseca joined forces with salsa icons Gilberto Santa Rosa and Chuco Valdés in the beautiful bolero “Colección de Recuerdos.”

Moreover, Elena Rose dropped “Me Lo Merezco,” a manifestation and self love letter, where she chants about living in the present and deserving all her blessings; Danny Ocean calls for personal action in “Cero condiciones” that invites us to be ourselves, without thinking about what others may think or say; and Xavi released his latest track “Corazón de Piedra” on the heels of his hits “La Diabla” and “La Víctima.”

Springtime is almost here, and to welcome the warmer season, some of today’s biggest music stars are heating things up with a slew of new releases.

Kacey Musgraves‘ fifth studio album, Deeper Well, shows off a transformative side of the singer. Musgraves told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 about the new album, saying, “I’ve found more of a connection to my softer side, my roots, like some of the Americana, the folk, the country…really the warmth of that. I felt drawn to that. I felt like I was in a softer place myself after [Musgraves’ 2021 album] star-crossed and going through a divorce and doing a lot of therapy and honestly falling in love again and opening myself back up to the human experience. These songs just kind of started coming out.”

Similarly, Justin Timberlake’s Everything I Thought It Was arrived six years after his 2018 album, Man of the Woods. The album features previously released singles “Drown” and “Selfish,” which debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning Timberlake his highest debut in six years on the tally. Notably, EITIW also includes a long-awaited reunion from *NSYNC, called “Paradise,” and the full band performed the track onstage at Timberlake’s one-night-only concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (March 13).Notably, EITIW also includes a long-awaited reunion from *NSYNC, called “Paradise,” and the full band performed the track onstage at Timberlake’s one-night-only concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (March 13).

Spring is just around the corner, and some of music’s biggest stars are getting ready for the warmer months with a slew of new releases.

Kicking things off is Ariana Grande, who welcomed a life of Eternal Sunshine with her seventh studio album released on Friday (March 8). Grande introduced the new era back in January with the release of lead single “Yes, And?” That Max Martin-producer dancefloor-ready banger used house music to kiss off Grande’s haters and shimmy to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. She’s also set to perform on Saturday Night Live as musical guest this weekend.

Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers also unveiled this long-awaited self-titled album, featuring songs like the rollicking “Modern Girl,” wistful “Alma Mater” and quietly graceful “Woke Up Today.” Meanwhile, Norah Jones stays adventurous and powerful with her new album Visions, which features songs like “Paradise” and “All This Time.”

‘Quiero Bailar,’ ‘Que Lloren’ & More: What’s Your Favorite Ivy Queen Song? Vote!

In 1997, Ivy made a strong statement with her song “Pongan Atención” (pay attention), on which she loudly and proudly declared: “Pay attention, country, nation, association, the queen has arrived.” The Puerto Rican artist and rapper kicked off her career as part of the all-male collective The Noise, and through her unapologetic, powerful bars, mainly about self-love and being a strong-minded woman, she ultimately earned her crown as the Queen of Reggaeton.

Ivy first arrived on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in 2005 with her timeless track “Quiero Bailar” (originally released in 2003), a song about a woman whose provocative dance moves demand nothing but respect on the dance floor and don’t mean anything more than having a good time.

Trending on Billboard

Seven other of her tracks earned a spot on the Hot Latin Songs chart, including “Te He Querido, Te He Llorado” (2005), “Que Lloren” (2007) and “Dime” (2008), all of which hit the top 10. Additionally, she has 20 entries on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, among other accolades.

The Boricua star was recently honored with the Women in Music Icon award at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she opened up about her challenging road to success.

“When I fell in love with music, I found myself constantly battling to earn my spot, to earn my own lane, and to find my own identity between the guys,” she said in her acceptance speech. “The movement was underground, then turned reggaeton. I traveled around the island of Puerto Rico measuring my skills against male MCs. Bars became my self-defense mechanism. Through lyrics, I encouraged other Latinas that stand around me to stand for themself and also to not stay quiet when something hurts.”

As Ivy continues to flaunt her proud roots, trendy fashion transformations and ability to evolve from reggaeton to bachata and other genres, Billboard asks fans to vote for their favorite Ivy Queen hit on the Hot Latin Songs chart below:

March is here, and today’s top music stars are gearing up for spring with a slew of new releases.

Miley Cyrus’ long awaited collaboration with Pharrell, “Doctor (Work It Out),” went live on streaming services Friday (March 1), marking the singer’s first release since her 2023 single “Used to Be Young.” The team-up has reportedly been in the works for over a decade, with “Doctor (Work It Out)” originally intended to appear on but apparently scrapped from Cyrus’ 2013 album Bangerz. In January, Pharrell teased the single at the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter 2024 Collection presentation in Paris.

Meanwhile, Charli XCX officially launched her newest era with the delightfully rambunctious “Von Dutch” and its accompanying music video. “Von Dutch” serves as the lead single from Charli’s forthcoming sixth studio album, Brat. The new record is the follow-up to 2022’s Crash, which topped the albums chart in the U.K. and reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200.

Notably, Farruko is part of the Bob Marley: One Love movie soundtrack with his rendition of Marley’s 1977 hit “Jamming.” “The process was incredible because I got to sample his vocals in a song I was on,” the Puerto Rican artist said in a statement. His version, called “Rasta Reggae,” merges reggae with Latin beats and cultural nods in a way that both honors the original’s influence and highlights his own identity and Caribbean roots. 

“It was a wow moment for me, like if I actually recorded with Bob Marley!” he continued. “It was an honor to take part and that this film will show he was more than a leader, he was a prophet, someone who forever changed the music culture and who made it a priority to fight for human rights and peace and equality. I very much identify with him.  He has always inspired me and we share something else so special, that island culture, it’s in our blood.”

This week, we also highlight three brand-new albums: Prince Royce’s Llamada Perdida, Greeicy’s Yeliana and Gaby Moreno’s Dusk. The former of the three, home to 23 bachata-heavy tracks, “represent the end of a life chapter for Royce, as well as the acceptance of a new beginning,” as described in a press release. Yeliana is a nine-track set that pays homage to Greeicy’s new motherhood stage; while Moreno’s Dusk is a collision of the best of the American and Latin American worlds — not only combining English and Spanish but also fusing the folklore of both, walking between country music, blues, rock and Latin folk.

Other releases this week include songs by Pepe Aguilar, Grupo Frontera, Luis Fonsi, and more.
