Beéle Arrives on Billboard's Albums Charts With Debut Set ‘BORONDO'
After collecting multiple hits across Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart and Latin Airplay charts, Beéle makes his first appearance on the albums rankings with BORONDO. The Colombian singer-songwriter's debut set launches on the Top Latin Albums (at No. 10) and Top Latin Rhythm Albums (at No. 4) lists, dated May 31. BORONDO, a 26-track album, was released May 15 on Hear This Music/5020 Records. The set starts at No. 10 on Top Latin Albums with 11,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the tracking week ending May 22, according to Luminate. More from Billboard Zak Starkey Rubbishes Reports He Retired from The Who, Insists He Was 'Fired' Lorde Makes Surprise Appearance at Aotearoa Music Awards Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Perform 1996 Hit 'Tha Crossroads' on 'Everybody's Live' During the tracking week of May 16-22, BORONDO's debut was driven primarily by streaming activity, with the album's songs generating 17 million official on-demand streams. Meanwhile, the remainder of the total-week sum came from a minimal contribution of album sales and track-equivalent units. (Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.) Further, BORONDO's entrance marks a breakthrough for Puerto Rican indie label Hear This Music—founded by DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz— achieving its first performance and top 10 on any Billboard albums tally since its formation in 2015 (the imprint has earned 20 entries on the Hot Latin Songs chart, including three top 10s). The set was previewed by one charting song: 'Mi Refe,' with Ovy on The Drums, peaked at No. 8 on Latin Rhythm Airplay in April. Prince Royce, Mora & Sebastian Yatra Achieve Top 10 Success: Elsewhere on the Latin albums charts, three other Latin artists leave a mark this week, starting with Prince Royce, whose album Eterno debuts at No. 3 on the Top Tropical Albums chart, his eighth straight top 10 since the 54-week ruler album Prince Royce in 2010. Eterno, a collection of 20th century English hits turned-bilingual bachatas, becomes the Hot Shot debut of the week on Top Tropical Albums with 3,000 equivalent album units earned during the tracking week ending May 22. The album's songs generated 1.9 million official on-demand streams in its first week. 'How Deep Is Your Love' is the only song that previewed the album; it hits new peaks on the overall Latin Airplay (No. 5) and Tropical Airplay (No. 4) charts after a 35% boost in audience impressions, to 7 million. Puerto Rican Mora secures his fifth top 10 on the Top Latin Rhythm Albums chart with Lo Mismo De Siempre, as the album bows at No. 9 with 7,000 equivalent album units, also largely from streaming activity (9.8 million official on-demand streams in its opening week). The Rimas-released set, dropped on an off-cycle Sunday, May 18, thus, debuts on the chart with only five days of activity (the chart's tracking week runs Friday through Thursday). Lastly, Sebastian Yatra's Milagro starts at No. 9 on Top Latin Pop Albums with 2,000 equivalent album units. The 17-track album, released May 18 on Universal Music Latino/UMLE, generated 2.3 million official streams during the same period. It becomes Yatra's fourth top 10 on the tally. All charts (dated May 31, 2025) will update on tomorrow, May 28 (a day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday May 26).

Jim Mora spearheaded the first golden age of Saints football
Happy belated birthday to former New Orleans Saints head coach Jim Mora, who celebrated his 90th birthday over the weekend. Mora got into coaching in 1961, first as an assistant then as head coach at Occidental (CA) College until 1966. From there, he'd be a linebackers coach at Stanford for one year before moving on to the same role at Colorado from 1968 to 1973. He'd then be the linebacker coach at UCLA for one year before being hired as defensive coordinator at Washington from 1975 to 1977. In 1978, Mora got his first NFL job. The Seattle Seahawks would bring him in as defensive line coach, a role he'd hold until 1981. In 1982, Mora was hired as defensive coordinator by the New England Patriots. He'd be there for two years before finally getting his first chance to be a head coach after 24 years in the profession. The expansion United States Football League ((USFL) gave Mora his first chance to be in charge as head coach of the Philadelphia Stars. Mora's Philadelphia and Baltimore Stars appeared in all three of the original USFL championship games. They won two of them, taking back-to-back titles in 1984 and 1985 before the league eventually folded. In his three years, Mora's teams had a .782 winning percentage. Saints' First Golden Era Tom Benson bought the New Orleans Saints and took over operations of the team in 1985. Looking for a spark, Benson hired Jim Finks as the General Manager in 1986. Finks and Benson then hired Jim Mora as their head coach in 1986, also taking excellent advantage of the dissolving of the USFL. Joining Mora were a few of his former assistant coaches with the Stars like Dom Capers, Vic Fangio, and Carl Smith. New Orleans also managed to bring in several players that starred in the USFL. Former Stars linebacker Sam Mills was a free-agent signee. Linebacker Vaughan Johnson joined him as a first round choice in a special expansion draft. Additionally, the Saints also added quarterback Bobby Hebert, running back Buford Jordan, kick returner Mel Gray, offensive lineman Derek Kennard, and quarterback John Fourcade. When Mora and the Saints selected Pat Swilling in Round 3 of the 1986 NFL Draft, the intimidating foursome of the ''Dome Patrol'' of Rickey Jackson, Mills, Johnson, and Swilling was complete. Prior to hiring Mora, the Saints had never had a winning season in 19 years of existence and had double-digit losses in nine of those 19 years. After a 7-9 finish in 1986, Mora guided the Saints to an incredible 12-3 record and first playoff appearance in 1987, their 20th year of operation. Mora's Saints would not have a losing season again for the next eight years. Mora led New Orleans to the playoffs four times in a six year stretch between 1987 and 1992. Included in that was the franchise's first division championship, an NFC West title in 1991. Four times in those six years, the Saints had double-digit victories, including a then-franchise record 12 wins in 1987 and 1992. Under Mora, the Saints annually had one of the league's top defenses led by the Dome Patrol foursome of Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Pat Swilling, and Vaughan Johnson. During Mora's tenure, New Orleans had a top-5 defense six times and ranked first in the NFL twice. While conservative, the Saints also had an underrated offense. Under Mora, New Orleans held a top-10 ranking in points scored six times. Unfortunately, Mora's Saints were also known for their postseason shortcomings. The Saints did not win a playoff game under Mora, going 0-4 in the postseason with two especially heartbreaking losses at home. The NFC was also stacked during this time. San Francisco had built a dynasty and were in the same division as New Orleans. The Saints also had to compete against perennial Super Bowl contenders like the Giants, Redskins, and Bears within their own conference before the arrival of the Cowboys dynasty in the early 1990s. Still, Jim Mora helped usher in the first 'Golden Era' of New Orleans Saints football. Between 1987 and 1992, the Saints had a 62-33 record, a winning percentage of .653. Overall, Mora had a 93-74 regular season record in 11 years with the Saints, a winning percentage of .557. No other coach in the history of the Saints were close to those numbers until the arrival of Sean Payton in 2006. Sean Payton coached 241 games for the Saints with a winning percentage of .631 and regular season record of 152-89. Mora's 167 games and 93 victories is second in franchise history. A very distant third is Jim Haslett, who coached 96 games for New Orleans with 45 wins and a .469 winning percentage. Counting his four-year tenure with the Indianapolis Colts, Mora is one of only 31 coaches with at least 125 NFL victories. Happy birthday to Jim Mora, and thank you for leading the first truly relevant period of New Orleans Saints football.

Real Madrid identify 18-year-old FC Porto talent as the next big signing
According to a fresh update from Fichajes, Real Madrid have zeroed in on one of the brightest young stars in Portuguese football, namely, Rodrigo Mora. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has enjoyed a breakout season with FC Porto and is now firmly on the radar of Los Blancos, who continue to double down on their strategy of investing in elite young talent. Advertisement Mora's rise has been nothing short of sensational. In his debut professional season in the Primeira Liga, he registered 11 goals and 4 assists, a remarkable return for a teenager operating in midfield. His performances have not only made him indispensable to Porto's attacking structure but have also earned him his first senior call-up to the Portuguese national team for the upcoming UEFA Nations League final four. Rodrigo Mora – A talent to keep an eye on Rodrigo Mora is on Real Madrid's radar. (Photo by) Mora's inclusion in the national team at such a young age is a testament to his raw ability and tactical intelligence, and Real Madrid appear to be ready to move before other European heavyweights join the race. Advertisement It must be noted that Mora recently renewed his contract with Porto until 2030, and it includes a €70 million release clause. However, that figure does not intimidate Real Madrid. The club has long been willing to pay top dollar for potential superstars if they feel the player is worth the effort and Mora could well be the next in line. With the club already securing Dean Huijsen and potentially Alvaro Carreras, the pursuit of Mora highlights Real Madrid's ambition to build a generational squad capable of dominating Europe over the next decade. Mora's technical skill, attacking vision, and goal threat from midfield fit perfectly with the club's footballing DNA, and there is a growing sense within the Spanish capital that he may soon wear the white of Madrid.
