Beyoncé’s Biggest Chart Achievements | Billboard Explains

Narrator:
Nobody does it like Beyoncé. The superstar is iconic, and her Billboard chart history proves it. In honor of her new album Cowboy Carter, we’re running down her biggest chart achievements. This is Billboard Explains: Beyoncé’s Reign on the Charts.

Fans were first introduced to Beyoncé as the lead singer of Destiny’s Child. The group racked up four Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s, including “Say My Name” and “Independent Women, Pt.1.”

As a solo star, Beyoncé had her breakout year in 2003. Her first solo album, Dangerously in Love, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and its lead single, “Crazy in Love,” topped the Hot 100 for eight weeks.

In total, Beyoncé has nine solo Hot 100 hits, including “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” “Irreplaceable” and “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which debuted at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs, making her the first Black female artists to ever top the chart.

Beyoncé has spent 46 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in her career, the third most of any woman in history, behind Mariah Carey with 93 and Rihanna with 60. Plus, all seven of Beyoncé’s solo studio albums have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Will Cowboy Carter keep Beyoncé’s streak going? We’ll have to wait and see what the queen can do.

Los Tigres del Norte On Their Houston Rodeo Show, the Messaging In Their Songs, New Music & More | Billboard News

Los Tigres del Norte sat down with Billboard News backstage at their record-breaking show at The Houston Rodeo. They opened up about performing at the Rodeo, picking their tour outfits and their European tour. The band teases their new music, talks about the meaning behind their tracks and more!

Los Tigres Del Norte:
When you come to this kind of show you know there’s a lot of food everywhere.

Oscar eats.

But also there’s a lot of chocolates that’s how we get hyped up.

We are Los Tigres Del Norte and you’re watching Billboard News.

This is the fifth time that we come here in Houston. We’re very excited. They encourage you to do something more. Next time that you come here we want to prepare a better show for them, that’s our responsibility.

I think it’s the number one rodeo in the United States that has a Hispanic day. Our songs have a lot of meaning for the Hispanic people, the ones who live in the United States, or they ones who come from other countries to the United States, especially the Latino countries. Singing for them, you know, like, give them some relief for where they come from, or how hard it is for them to live here, a lot of people undocumented and with our songs, you know, our song has a lot of those messages. And I think this is very, very special for us.

When we announced that we were going to be here a lot of people from other countries tell us in social media that they were willing to come and see us here. So we know that there’s a diversity here of people in Houston and people from Central America, from Mexico especially. It makes us you know, very very proud to represent that people that live here, but also the people that come see us here in the fields, the Latin blood.

Hanging out at Rolling Loud with That Mexican OT. Man, I was just at the Houston Rodeo. You were with Bun B, killing it. How was it?

Yeah, it was cool, man. Shout-out to Bun for having me, bro. It’s definitely a blessing.

Diddy’s Attorney Makes a Statement After His LA & Miami Houses Were Raided | Billboard News

Diddy’s attorney Aaron Dyer speaks out and calls the raids on Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami houses on Monday, March 25th, by Homeland Security agents an “unprecedented ambush” and labels the takedowns against his client “a witch hunt.”

Tetris Kelly
Diddy speaks out after Homeland Security rated his LA and Miami homes. Here’s what he had to say.

On Monday afternoon, Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by Homeland Security. HSI released the following statement: “Earlier today Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation. With assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”

Now Diddy’s attorney Aaron Dyer has given Billboard the following statement: “Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

As for Diddy’s businesses, of which he has many, the rapper reportedly sold off the remainder of his shares of Revolt TV, which he created in 2013. For the latest on this story, head to Billboard.com.

Luísa Sonza Reveals How She Got Demi Lovato on ‘Penhasco2’ & More | Billboard Women In Music 2024

Luísa Sonza opened up about getting Demi Lovato on her track “Penhasco2,” how she writes her songs and more backstage at Billboard Women in Music 2024.

Luísa Sonza:
I’m Luísa Sonza, and I’m gonna tell you guys like three things about my music that you guys don’t know.

First, I was supposed to do “Penhasco2” alone, but one day, Roy, my producer, called me and said, “Send me some artists that you would like to do a song together.” I send some of my favorite artists and one of them was, like, Demi Lovato. We sent that song that I made, like, one year ago that calls “Penhasco2.” I was sure that she’s gonna like it and she will want to do it with me, I think so. He sent to Demi and Demi accept and it was amazing. And one more thing, Demi: She, like, obviously sings in English, but she wanted to learn Portuguese and sing in Portuguese. So that’s why Demi is amazing, you know, not just because of that. She’s amazing.

Second thing: I think my favorite place to perform is Sao Paulo — it’s not my hometown, but I live there. And I don’t know, I feel like home, you know, so I love to perform there.

How I wrote my songs with my producers: I start writing whatever passes my mind like, if I think some phrase, or I live some things I start to write. Most people don’t know about it. That’s why, like, when I say like, “Oh my god, I did my last album in three months,” no, I just produced my album in, like, in three months, but I am always writing and people don’t know about that.

I almost died talking in English. I don’t even know how I say this in Portuguese. Crazy s–t, guys.

Hi, I’m Kylie Minogue and here are five things you did not know about me.

Thinking now. Okay. One, I recorded “Padam Padam” in my hotel room.

Two, “Love At First Sight” was first dismissed and ended up being a really big song of mine, not by me by my label.

My first single “The Loco-Motion” was recorded as a demo. I didn’t have a- I wasn’t signed to anyone. So if that hadn’t gone to become a release, I would not be here chatting with you today.

The fourth thing you don’t know about me… I can’t wait to get my heels off. You may have guessed that.

Fifth thing, coffee is one of my favorite things. And those are five things you didn’t know about me and I didn’t intend to tell anyone. No, that’s alright. I can share them.
