Beyoncé wishes Jay-Z happy Father's Day, honors dads during fifth show in London
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered her fifth show on her "Cowboy Carter" tour in London, and she took a moment to wish husband Jay-Z happy Father's Day and honor all the fathers in the building before the night ended.
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 14 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium around 7:41 p.m local time. The show marked her fifth of six shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. Her last show in London is set to take place June 16, before Beyoncé heads to Paris for three nights.
She started the show thanking fans for their loyalty and support for her nearly three-decade career.
"Every time I see all of you guys dressed up and your beautiful signs, I just feel so much gratitude inside," she told the roaring crowd as she opened the show.
As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. And Saturday's concert was no different as she debuted more looks and delivered a high-powered show.
Toward the end of the show, Beyoncé made sure to honor Father's Day, which takes place June 15.
"I want to wish all the fathers a very, very happy Father's Day," she said, and then she took a moment to give the hip-hop mogul a special shoutout as she held up the Roc diamond hand symbol, as a reference to Jay-Z and his entertainment company Roc Nation.
During her fourth show in London, Beyoncé also took a moment to wish her twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, a happy birthday onstage. She promoted fans to join in the sweet moment as Rumi stood on stage.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Troy Aikman reacts to Lamar Jackson dropping trademark challenge over the use of No. 8
Earlier this week, Lamar Jackson finally put an end to a narrative that had long since become tedious. Well, almost, as it appears there is one more story to be covered on this topic. A couple of days ago, we learned that Jackson withdrew his lawsuit that challenged the number eight trademark, which belongs to Dallas Cowboys legend Troy Aikman. Jackson made the withdrawal in a legal manner known as "with prejudice," and that means he can never file this lawsuit again. So this means the not-so-great eight debate, which started a little over a year ago when Jackson filed the suit, is now over. Aikman won this battle, and after officially doing so, finally broke his public silence on the topic. The legendary Super Bowl-winning quarterback and FOX broadcaster took to Instagram, where he shared a screenshot of an article about Jackson's withdrawal on Instagram's Stories. The Pro Football Hall of Famer included a short comment on his IG story: "From day one, this lawsuit had no merit, a fact underscored by its with-prejudice withdrawal." It is doubtful that Lamar will respond to Aikman's comment. It is also very doubtful that we see the Ravens QB comment on his decision to withdraw the lawsuit/challenge. In other words, I think we can put this story to bed now.

Billie Eilish Leaps Up The Billboard Charts
Billie Eilish is wrapping the latest leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour. In August, she only has two dates scheduled in Japan, then several weeks off before she picks back up again in the United States for another venture around the country. Excitement seems to be building among her American fans as Eilish's entire catalog of albums grows in the U.S., and she rises on almost every tally on which she appears. Hit Me Hard and Soft Lives Inside the Top 40 Of course, Hit Me Hard and Soft is her biggest project at the moment. The Grammy-nominated set is her most recent release, and the one that's still being promoted by multiple singles. Hit Me Hard and Soft appears inside the top 40 on every ranking, as it jumps from No. 48 to No. 37 on the Top Album Sales chart. The set can also be found at No. 20 on the Billboard 200, and it almost reconquers the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list as it climbs from No. 3 to the runner-up spot. Hit Me Hard and Soft is a non-mover on the Top Streaming Albums roster, where it sits at No. 18, and it is once again in charge of the Top Alternative Albums ranking. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever Eilish's first two full-lengths, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever, live on a trio of tallies — and the same three at that. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? appears in lower spots, but it manages to break back onto the Top Alternative Albums chart, coming in at No. 23. The studio effort that helped introduce Eilish to a massive audience almost fell off both the Billboard 200 and Top Rock & Alternative Albums rankings last week, as it sat at Nos. 199 and 50 in second-to-last and last place just a few days ago. This time around, it leaps to No. 182 on the all-encompassing ranking of the most consumed sets in the country, and it grows by five spots on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums roster. Happier Than Ever Surges Back into the Top 40 Happier Than Ever also improves its standing, and just like Hit Me Hard and Soft, it finds its way back into the top 40 on one list. On the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, Eilish's sophomore full-length leaps 10 spaces north to No. 38. Over on the Top Alternative Albums ranking, it jumps into the top 20, pushing from No. 24 to No. 18. Happier Than Ever gains quite a bit of ground on the Billboard 200, as last time around it sat only a few spaces ahead of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? at No. 193. Now it surges almost 40 spaces to make a home at No. 153. Consumption of Billie Eilish's Music is Up – Mostly Luminate reports that both Happier Than Ever and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? gained in terms of total consumption from one frame to the next. Happier Than Ever moved 10,000 units last week, up 12.5% from the period before. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? managed just under 9,200 equivalent units, a growth of almost 4%. While Hit Me Hard and Soft may be Eilish's top performer, it actually sees its total number of units moved decline by a little more than 3%, though it still managed 23,300 equivalent copies in the U.S. in the most recent tracking period.

Ozzy Osbourne Replaced At No. 1 By One Of The Bestselling Rock Albums Of All Time
Even if Fleetwood Mac's album Rumours disappeared from the charts forever, it would likely always be regarded as one of the bestselling and top-performing releases of all time. Thankfully, the pop-rock classic never fully fades from the Billboard rankings and, in fact, often beats out many new projects from current stars. Rumours is on the rise yet again across a variety of Billboard charts in America, and this week, the Grammy-winning set returns to the summit on multiple lists at the same time. Rumours Returns to No. 1 on Several Charts Last week, Rumours sat at No. 2 on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts. Now it turns around, and the Fleetwood Mac blockbuster regains control over both of those rosters, which are built around general consumption and focus on only the rock side of the music industry. Only a Few Weeks at No. 1 Rumours has spent the same length of time on both tallies, as it's now up to 440 frames on each list. The set has racked up half a dozen stays at No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums ranking, and just five on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, which is slightly more competitive, as alternative titles are also included. The Essential Ozzy Osbourne Falls from No. 1 Last week, The Essential Ozzy Osbourne commanded both rock rankings, as Americans continued to rediscover Osbourne's work following his death in July. This frame, that compilation of many of his greatest solo smashes dips to third place on the Top Rock Albums ranking and to No. 5 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list. Rumours Climbs on Almost Every Billboard Chart Rumours rises on three other Billboard charts, as it ascends to No. 8 on the Vinyl Albums list and No. 18 on both the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales roster. The decades-old title, which is nearing its fiftieth birthday, holds at No. 19 on the Top Streaming Albums tally — the only list where it doesn't advance.
