Tyla pulled up to the MTV EMA’s in an Aaliyah-inspired dress and took home three wins. Keep watching to see her performance and more!

Tetris Kelly:
Tyla showed up and showed out at the EMAs in Manchester, England, last night. Hitting the red carpet dressed in a look inspired by R&B legend Aaliyah’s early 2000s VMA fit, she then took it to the stage to perform her hits “Water” and “Push 2 Start.” She took home three EMA awards for best R&B, best African act and best Afrobeats. In the R&B category, she faced some stiff competition from the likes of R&B superstars Usher, Tinashe, SZA, Victoria Monet and Kehlani. After her big win, Tyla had this to say.

Tyla:
Oh my gosh, guys, I am just as shocked as you guys like I don’t know what to do like I can’t. Thank you guys so much. Thank you to my tigers. Thank you to my team. Thank you to the EMAs. I know it’s so hard to categorize my music. I literally mix so many different genres into one, but R&B is a huge influence in my music.

Tetris Kelly:
We’re sending a huge congratulations to Tyla and all the other winners at last night’s EMAs. For more, keep it locked at Billboard News.

Beyoncé dominates again, as Chappell Roan gets nominated, like it or not. The industry heads to the bar… and the culture says [“They not like us”].

Beyoncé is the most nominated artist this year, grabbing 11 nominations including her Album of the Year nomination for ‘Cowboy Carter,’ where she’s nominated against albums like ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ ‘Brat,’ ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft,’ ‘Short n’ Sweet’ and some outliers like Andre 3000 and Jacob Collier. Chappell Roan is also nominated for Album of the Year, plus she grabbed a nomination for Best New Artist with Sabrina, Doechii, Teddy Swims and more. She even famously said she was “kind of hoping I don’t win.” Shaboozey is also nominated for Best New Artist as well as for Song of the Year against Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars with “Die with a Smile” and “Not Like Us” which is also nominated for Record of the Year against a lot of people we’ve discussed, plus The Beatles. And that’s just the Big Four categories. For a full Grammy nomination breakdown, head to Billboard.com.

Ed Sheeran honored outgoing CEO of Warner Music Group, Max Lousada, at the Music in Business UK Awards. Keep watching to get a peek at their speeches.

Narrator:

Ed Sheeran took to the stage at the “Music in Business UK Awards” to honor his friend and former CEO of Warner Music Group, Max Lousada. Max has had a hand in shaping the careers of many of today’s superstars like Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Charlie XCX, and of course Ed Sheeran, to name a few. And he had this to say.

Ed Sheeran:

They don’t make people like him anymore, music people. And if they do, they only come around once in a generation. It’s not about having a big marketing brain or understanding algorithms or jumping on the new hot things. It’s about recognizing what are great great songs and who are great great artists and allowing them to grow.

Narrator:

The event was a loving affair, with Max sharing a few words himself after accepting his awards.

Max Lousada:

I kinda really wanted to dedicate this as a music executive and more importantly as a music fan, to everyone who backs new artists that have something to say.

Narrator:

Congrats go out to Max. And stay tuned to Billboard News for all the latest.

Grupo Niche explains how they are preserving Jairo Varela’s legacy, their reasons for continuous touring and how each member preserves their unique essence. The band discusses the success of “Cali Pachanguero,” their acclaimed album Niche Sinfónico and winning a Grammy for it, and more!

Leila Cobo:
Hello, everyone. Today, we welcome at Billboard singers from Grupo Niche!

Grupo Niche:
Yeah, hurray!

You don’t know how excited I am to have you here because I grew up with Grupo Niche, because I never had you all sitting here. The last time I talked to Grupo Niche was with Jairo Warela.

Wow!

So it’s been a long time. So what are you doing in New York? Tell me.

We’re happy to bring our Pachanguero tour. We celebrate 40 years of this iconic song. This big tour started in Australia. We went to Europe, Central America and America, and now we are in North America, sharing this beautiful legacy with you that master Jairo Varela and his Grupo Niche left us.

Now, I think you’re touring more than ever. When Jairo was alive, he played all weekends, but now I get the feeling that Niche … I get the press releases and I say, “These people don’t stop!” What happened? Why are people so excited with Niche after so long? 

Thank God. It’s a blessing. The truth is we enjoy so much. As you said, our schedule begins and ends in January. We make our bags, we left in January and next January, we just exchange bags. We always make jokes about it, but it’s true. We really enjoy the love of all Nichistas worldwide. 

Nichistas?

Nichistas. 

That’s new for me. 

Those are Grupo Niche fans. Are you Nichista? 

I am mega Nichista, darling!

Keep watching for more!
