Don Omar Wraps Sueños Festival With Crowd-Pleasing Set
On Sunday, the reggaetón powerhouse came out on stage just a few minutes before his 9 p.m. start time, eager to sing to the crowd — significantly larger than yesterday's — that had gathered to see him perform. Don Omar did not disappoint and he knew exactly which songs would get his fans going.

From 'Dale Don' to 'Hasta Abajo' and 'Dile,' the Puerto rican hitmaker started with a bang. 'Latinos make some noise,' he said at the top of his one-hour set. He was a man of a few words, letting the music speak for itself. 'Are we having fun?' he asked at one point. It's safe to say the crowd was indeed having fun with groups of friends perreando and singing along with the self-proclaimed King of Kings.
He went on to sing 'Pobre Diabla,' Hector y Tito's 'Morena,' 'Salió El Sol,' 'Se Menea,' 'Taboo,' 'Danza Kuduro' and 'Bandoleros.' But a highlight of the night was when he sang 'Ella y Yo,' his 2005 hit duet with Romeo Santos. 'You guys know this song, right?' he asked, almost rhetorically.
One of the most memorable collaborations of the 21st century, Santos and Don Omar engage in a call-and-response of sorts to tell a story of lust, infidelity and betrayal in 'Ella y Yo.' Don Omar asked the Sueños crowd to play the part of Santos and they promptly followed his orders, making for an epic duet between Don Omar and his fans.
Don Omar most recently wrapped his Back to Reggaetón World Tour, which marked his grand return to the stage in celebration of his decades-spanning career.
Day two of Sueños Music Festival also included riveting performances by Kapo, Bellakath, Omar Courtz, Jhayco, Tito Double P, Grupo Frontera and Wisin.

BTS Matches Taylor Swift In A Rare Chart Feat
Live albums are not uncommon, especially in today's world where the technology to record performances and concerts is more readily accessible and easier to use than ever. But for most artists, recording and releasing live sets doesn't typically lead to major success on the Billboard charts. Live albums rarely perform as well as studio efforts, and it's relatively uncommon for one to break into the top 10 on the Billboard 200, the chart company's most competitive ranking of EPs and full-lengths in the United States. So far in 2025, only two live albums have managed to reach that region — and that number doubles this week. BTS Returns to the Top 10 BTS returns to the highest tier on the Billboard 200 this week with its first live album, Permission to Dance On Stage (Live). The set marks something of a comeback for the South Korean boy band, as all of its members had to step away from their music careers to fulfill South Korea's mandatory military service, which they have now finished. The project debuts at No. 10 with 43,000 equivalent units shifted in its first seven-day tracking period. Taylor Swift Swift's One-Week Smash Permission to Dance On Stage (Live) is one of only two live albums to crack the top 10 on the Billboard 200 this year. BTS joins Taylor Swift in this uncommon feat, according to Billboard. Just a few months ago, in January, Swift scored a new bestselling live title with Lover: Live From Paris. The vinyl version, which was available only for a short time, instantly became a must-have for Swifties. The set reappeared out of nowhere at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, narrowly missing giving the singer-songwriter another chart leader. Lover: Live From Paris then disappeared one week later, and hasn't returned since. BTS Scores Across Multiple Billboard Rankings Permission to Dance On Stage (Live) opens inside the top 10 on all three Billboard charts it debuts on this week, though it earns the lowest start on the Billboard 200. The project brings BTS back to No. 1 on the World Albums list, where the group has now scored 14 rulers. The septet also nearly conquers the Top Album Sales chart, but instead, Permission to Dance On Stage (Live) starts in the runner-up spot behind Don't Tap the Glass, Tyler, the Creator's surprise new full-length.

Kendrick Lamar Replaces Drake A At No. 1
It's likely that no matter how much time passes since the end of their public feud, Kendrick Lamar and Drake will always be compared to one another and seen as rivals. The rappers spent part of 2024 trading diss tracks in what turned out to be one of the most high-profile beefs in hip-hop history. Lamar came out on top, thanks largely to his tune "Not Like Us," which didn't just reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, it also earned the rapper both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammys. It's been well over a year since "Not Like Us" seemingly finished the war, but Lamar and Drake are still competing against one another directly on the Billboard charts. Kendrick Lamar Replaces Drake at No. 1 Lamar manages to replace Drake at No. 1 on several Billboard tallies in the United States this week, thanks to his recent collaboration with friend and tourmate SZA. "Luther" returns to the summit on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs rankings this frame. Last period, the collaboration sat in the runner-up spot on the two consumption-based lists, pushed down by Drake's "What Did I Miss?" The Canadian hip-hop superstar's single begins to decline this frame, making way for "Luther" — one of the most popular tunes in hip-hop of all time, according to the charts — to find its way to the summit once more. Drake's Songs Decline as "Luther" Surges On the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally, "What Did I Miss?" drops from No. 1 to No. 3, landing just ahead of Drake's previous smash "Nokia." On the Hot Rap Songs chart, "What Did I Miss?" only steps back one space, while "Nokia" also holds at No. 4 on that ranking. "Luther" Extends Its Historic Reign "Luther" has now ruled both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs rankings for 29 weeks apiece. The tune long ago became the longest-running leader on both tallies, and with every frame it commands the tallies, it adds to its total and Lamar and SZA further their lead over every other hit in the history of those genres.

Black Sabbath Blocked From No. 1 — By Ozzy Osbourne
Following Ozzy Osbourne's passing, both the rocker and his band Black Sabbath soar onto charts all around the planet, as millions of people buy and stream everything the legendary artist left behind. There's room for both acts on the charts, but in some instances, the two, which are counted separately, compete with one another, as Osbourne and Black Sabbath appear on multiple rock and hard rock rankings published by Billboard. In one instance, the soloist even keeps the group that brought him to fame from reaching No. 1. Ozzy Osbourne's New No. 1 Album This week's Top Hard Rock Albums chart is ruled by The Essential Ozzy Osbourne. That compilation of many of Osbourne's most successful singles surges from No. 9 to the top spot – and it's not the only effort from the late rocker to rise dramatically. Black Sabbath Forced to Settle for No. 2 Black Sabbath's Paranoid advances to the runner-up spot on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed hard rock projects in the United States, jumping from No. 18 to No. 2. Paranoid has always been one of Black Sabbath's most famous releases, but it has never managed to conquer the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. The set enters the top 10 on the tally for the first time this week, and only Osbourne himself keeps the group from scoring a new No. 1 album. Black Sabbath's Sole No. 1 Black Sabbath has only ever ruled the Top Hard Rock Albums list once before. In the summer of 2013, the group's appropriately-titled release 13 debuted in first place. It went on to live there for two frames, and still stands as the group's longest-running success on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, with 23 frames spent on the roster. Paranoid Reappears on Multiple Charts Paranoid returns to two Billboard lists, reentering both the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales charts inside the top 40 as it surges to the runner-up space on the Top Hard Rock Albums list. The full-length also opens inside the top 10 on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums rankings. Black Sabbath's Multiple Wins Black Sabbath only manages to occupy two spaces on a single Billboard tally this week, and it's the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. As Paranoid almost becomes another No. 1, The Ultimate Collection also reappears at No. 23.
