Demi Lovato reunites with ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas for a ‘Camp Rock' performance
People in entertainment MoviesFacebookTweetLink Follow The Jonas Brothers already had fans feeling nostalgic with their new tour and then they raised those stakes with their first show. The group kicked off their 20th anniversary tour titled JONAS20 Sunday night at MetLife Stadium in their home state of New Jersey. The three brothers, Kevin, Joe and Nick, were on stage reminiscing about the 2008 hit Disney movie 'Camp Rock,' when they brought out the film's star, Demi Lovato. Lovato played Mitchie Torres in the movie, the love interest of Joe Jonas's character. The pair also had a brief relationship off-screen. Videos shared on social media showed the two performers sining songs from the movie franchise, 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing,' much to the delight of the audience. The pair posted a video on social media. Lovato also posted a clip of her and Jonas lip-syncing the viral clip of fellow Disney star Debby Ryan talking about meeting with the president of Disney, saying she wanted to make history. 'For the history books @joejonas,' Lovato wrote in the caption. She is now married to musician Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes. Jonas was divorced from actress Sophie Turner in 2024.

Drake's Critically-Acclaimed Blockbuster Earns A New Spot In His Catalog
Drake is one of the most successful musicians in the history of streaming music. He's earned that title thanks to a massive discography and a seemingly countless number of hit singles. Several of his albums rank among the most streamed of all time, and he regularly appears on Billboard's Top Streaming Albums chart, which lists the most successful titles on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others throughout the United States. While his latest full-length, Some Sexy Songs 4 U with PartyNextDoor, is still his biggest win at the moment, one of Drake's earliest sets — and one of his most highly-regarded — emerges as a true streaming classic this week. Drake Sets a New Streaming Record Take Care is one of two Drake full-lengths to appear on the Top Streaming Albums chart this frame, as the set lifts one space to No. 31. It hits 63 weeks on the tally, and that, as it turns out, is a special number. Drake's 2011 project now stands as his longest-charting title ever on the Top Streaming Albums ranking. Last frame, Take Care was tied with For All the Dogs, as both had managed 62 stays. Now Take Care has passed the 2023 favorite. Drake's Streaming Chart History Throughout the few years that Billboard has been publishing the Top Streaming Albums chart, Drake has sent seven projects to the ranking. Some Sexy Songs 4 U already sits in third place on the list of the longest-running with 24 weeks, while Certified Lover Boy managed 20. Her Loss, his collaborative project with 21 Savage, earned 18 stays. Scorpion held on for 13, and Views — one of Drake's most commercially successful efforts — only lived on the list for two frames and stalled in the lowest rung possible. Take Care Made Drake a Superstar Take Care helped certify Drake as a superstar and much more than a one-hit wonder. Released in the fall of 2011, the set produced smashes like 'Headlines,' 'Make Me Proud,' and 'The Motto.' The project earned the Canadian rapper his first Grammy, for Best Rap Album. Take Care Rises on Multiple Billboard Charts Take Care is on the rise on every Billboard chart on which it appears this frame. As it nears 650 weeks on the Billboard 200, it inches north to No. 32. The project can also be found inside the loftiest tiers on both the Top Rap Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums tallies, where it appears at Nos. 7 and 10, respectively. Drake Maintains His Dominance on the Billboard 200 Eight different Drake albums appear on at least one Billboard list this week. All of them — including Some Sexy Songs 4 U and Take Care, as well as Views, Certified Lover Boy, For All the Dogs, Scorpion, Thank Me Later, and More Life — live on the Billboard 200, while some of his most popular also manage to take up space on the company's hip-hop- and rap-specific lists.
