All you need to know about the 2025 MTV VMAs performers and nominees
Ricky Martin is set to make history at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, becoming the first-ever recipient of the Latin Icon Award. The global superstar will also return to the stage for a special performance, marking a milestone moment in his decades-long career. The honor comes 26 years after Martin's unforgettable impact at the 1999 MTV VMAs, when he performed 'Livin' la Vida Loca' and became the first male Latin artist to win Best Pop Video. That night, he collected five awards in total, establishing himself as a pioneer who opened doors for Latin music on the global stage. Over the years, Martin has expanded his sound across Latin pop, dance, reggaeton, and salsa. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he began his career in commercials and later rose to fame as part of the boy band Menudo before achieving worldwide success as a solo artist. The 2025 MTV VMAs will broadcast live on September 7 from New York's UBS Arena, airing on CBS across all U.S. time zones at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. This year's nominations are led by Lady Gaga with 12, followed by Bruno Mars with 11, Kendrick Lamar with 10, Sabrina Carpenter and Rosé with eight each, and Ariana Grande and The Weeknd with seven apiece. With Ricky Martin's historic recognition and a star-studded lineup of performers and nominees, the 2025 VMAs promise to celebrate both music legends and the industry's biggest current stars.

'KPop Demon Hunters' HUNTR/X makes history as ‘Golden' hits No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
HUNTR/X's "Golden" has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making the group the first all-women collective of three or more members to top the chart in 24 years, since Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious" in August 2001. The aspirational track, voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, comes from the soundtrack to the hit animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters. It marks the first Hot 100 leader for the group and female K-pop act and the ninth song linked to Korean pop to top the chart. Previous No. 1s in the genre include BTS's six chart-toppers between 2020 and 2021, along with "Seven" by Jung Kook featuring Latto and "Like Crazy" by Jimin in 2023. "Golden" also becomes the first Hot 100 No. 1 by an act with a fictional background since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto, which reigned for five weeks in 2022. During the tracking week of 1–7 August, the single earned 31.7 million official streams in the United States, up 9% from the previous week. It also registered 8.4 million radio airplay audience impressions, a 71% increase, and sold 7,000 downloads, up 35%. The track continues to lead the Billboard Soundtracks chart for a seventh week, solidifying its chance at winning the Oscar for the Best Original Song category for which is has been submitted as a contender. In a rare move for a Netflix release, KPop Demon Hunters will also head to cinemas later this month. Select Regal Theatres will host sing-along screenings on August 23 and 24, marking the first widespread theatrical release of the film.

Gomez's post has already racked up tens of thousands of likes, with fans enjoying the mix of glamour and comedy the misunderstanding created.
