Bad Bunny Kicks Off Historic Residency in Puerto Rico: Every Song From His First Show

History was in the making on Friday night (July 11) as Bad Bunny launched his wildly anticipated No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí (meaning: I Don't Want to Leave From Here) residency at the legendary Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot (a.k.a. El Choli) in San Juan. The event marked the beginning of his unprecedented 30-show series, making him the first artist to ever headline a residency of this scale at the iconic venue with capacity for 18,000 people.

'Show them from the start where the gladiators were born,' reggaetón pioneer Ivy Queen wrote in Spanish on Bad Bunny's IG post announcing the residency. 'Proudly representing from the heart of the neighborhood, where we can vibe to the beat of drums, the bass of a car speaker, or even acapella — we bring the energy anywhere! Historic moment, my pollito stepping up with pride and showing off what it means to be Puerto Rican! That huge Pisces heart is coming through strong! Let's gooooooo!' The first three weeks of the residency (July 11–27) are restricted to Puerto Rico residents before opening up to tourists. '[This residency] will position Puerto Rico as a premier entertainment destination,' Jorge L. Pérez, the general manager of Coliseo de Puerto Rico, previously told Billboard Español. 'It will open the eyes of visitors who have never come to Puerto Rico. It will create awareness of Puerto Rico as an entertainment and leisure destination.' Planning to come to Bad Bunny's residency? Here's the ultimate travel guide with everything you need to know before you arrive. (His new surprise single, 'Alambre PúA,' which he debuted at the show but was mistakenly left out of our original post, has also been added to the beginning of the setlist.')

Swachh Survekshan survey validates Hyderabad's clean image

HYDERABAD: Hyderabad is set to enter the elite seven-star category of Swachh Survekshan, becoming the only city in Telangana to earn the coveted 'garbage-free' status at the highest tier. Adding to this feat is an unprecedented fourth consecutive 'Water Plus' certification by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, positioning the city as India's gold standard for integrated urban sanitation. In doing so, Hyderabad is setting a model for other metropolitan cities, from managing waste efficiently, right from doorstep collection to final disposal, to ensuring that every drop of wastewater is treated to national standards before being released. The awards will be presented on July 17 in New Delhi, where President Droupadi Murmu will felicitate the winners. GHMC officials confirmed to TNIE that they received a call from MoHUA officials regarding both the seven-star rating and the Water Plus re-certification, although the official Swachh Survekshan rankings will also be announced at the same event. The annual Swachh Survekshan survey, part of the Swachh Bharat Mission, assesses cities on sanitation and cleanliness efforts. GHMC officials credited the achievement to the Swachh Hyderabad initiatives and thanked the residents and sanitation staff for their collective effort. In 2023, Hyderabad was ranked ninth nationally and received a five-star rating under the Garbage-Free Cities Protocol. Officials noted that the seven-star rating considers several parameters, including door-to-door collection, source segregation, waste processing and disposal, citizen feedback, and grievance redressal. The rating is based on the SMART approach (Single metric, Measurable, Achievable, Rigorous verification, and Targeted outcomes) across 12 key indicators. Hyderabad earned the Water Plus tag by meeting CPCB standards for wastewater treatment. This was made possible by the effective functioning of sewage treatment plants (STPs) operated by the HMWSSB, which treat wastewater from households and commercial establishments before being discharged.

Gooch builds big LIV Golf lead as Aussies battle

Talor Gooch has excelled during a long day on the course at LIV Golf Andalucia, claiming a four-shot lead heading into the final round at Sotogrande, Spain. Gooch shot a five-under par 66 after returning early on Saturday to complete the final eight holes of an opening 70 that had been interrupted by high winds on Friday. Seeking a fourth LIV Golf title, he is at seven-under 135 after mixing seven birdies and two bogeys in the second round at the Real Club Valderrama. Fellow American Dustin Johnson fired a sizzling second-round 64 to be the closest challenger, with Branden Grace (71) a shot further back, while Jinichiro Kozuma (68), Jon Rahm (70) and Patrick Reed (71) were tied fourth at one under. Australian major winner Cameron Smith went backwards with a 74 to be tied seventh, seven shots behind Gooch. It's not been a good tournament for Smith's all-Australian Ripper team. They were sitting tied last in the team competition at 19 over. Matt Jones shot 71 to be the next best Aussie at two over followed by Lucas Herbert (six over T45th) and Marc Leishman 11 over and last in the 54-player field. Gooch is looking to repeat his win at Andalucia in 2023. "It prepares you for these moments when they come up again," Gooch said of his experience at the event. "Having done it here at this course already, it's beneficial. Hopefully we can go get it done again tomorrow." Last year, Spain's Sergio Garcia came from seven strokes back to win LIV Golf Andalucia in a playoff. Another Spaniard, Rahm, is hoping to repeat the feat in front of a supportive home crowd. "It means the world. It also feels a little heavier on you when you make mistakes or don't take advantage of the ones that could have been," Rahm said of the backing from the fans. "I'm not only upset for myself but I'm a little bit upset for them as well that I'm not going to have a better chance tomorrow." Johnson, who is winless so far this season on the LIV circuit, was pleased with his second round fightback. "Pretty much when you shoot that score around here, everything is working pretty well," he said. On the team front, Johnson's strong round propelled his 4Aces into the lead. They stand at 2-over, with Gooch's Smash GC -- captained by Brooks Koepka -- at 3-over.

'What happened at the end is just..': KL Rahul gives a mature take on the Gill-Crawley incident at Lord's

Following the culmination of a thrilling day of Test cricket at Lord's, Tim Southee and KL Rahul spoke out the incident that occurred towards the end of the day's play between Shubman Gill and Zak Crawley. read more It was drama at the end of Day 3 at Lord's as things got heated between England opener Zak Crawley and Indian captain Shubman Gill. Since England had the task of playing out the remaining five minutes, Crawley enabled his delaying tactics and made sure that the play did not go beyond one over. Gill, who witnessed Crawley cheekily burning the time with his time-wasting acts, fumed in anger.

Pacer Jasprit Bumrah clapped in sarcasm as Crawley apparently faked pain in his hand after defending the ball from the middle of the bat. 'It's good. always exciting to see both sides animated towards the end. Not sure what they were complaining about when Gill was lying down getting a massage in the middle of the day yesterday. it's obviously part of the game. near the end of the day, it's an exciting way to finish the day. Asked about Crawley in jest, Southee gave a tongue-in-cheek reply, as quoted by PTI. Also Read | KL Rahul becomes first Indian to achieve this feat in nearly 30 years with second century at Lord's KL Rahul excuses Crawley KL Rahul, who is an opener as well, tried to be in the shoes of Crawley. 'Yeah, he (Crawley) will be assessed overnight. hope he'll be alright to carry on tomorrow." Quoted by PTI. Rahul said Crawley's tactic was understandable considering he is an opener himself. 'What happened at the end is just part of the game now. I understand from an opening batter's point of view. I know exactly what was going on and everyone knows exactly what was going on. But an opening batter will understand completely what happened in the last five minutes,' he said. Gill too was irked with the tactics of Crawley and his raw emotions were amplified through the audio from the stump mic. 'I have seen him fired up but obviously we wanted to bowl two overs. There were six minutes left. Obviously, two overs is a no-brainer that any team will bowl two overs with six minutes to go. 'It's a bit of theatrics at the end. We were all pumped up either way because we know how difficult it is for a batter to come in to bat for two overs when you have been in the field all day. We were hoping we could get a wicket there and a wicket at the end of the day's play would have been perfect for us,' added Rahul. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
