The post Madonna’s Free Concert in Brazil Makes History With a 1.6 Million Crowd appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Madonna’s The Celebration Tour took her all around the world in the past few months, and she decided to wrap it up in style. Back in late March, she announced a free concert at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach, and set expectations high for this performance.
“The event will be her biggest gig yet, an unforgettable concert in one of the world’s most beautiful settings. The show will be free of charge as a thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music over the course of the epic global run of the tour,” she said in an official statement.
The free concert took place on May 4 and managed to exceed everyone’s expectations. 1.6 million people showed up to watch Madonna perform her biggest hits alongside special guests Anitta and Pabllo Vittar. Copacabana Beach attracted bigger crowds in the past, most notably during its New Year’s Eve events, but Madonna’s concert still managed to make history, setting a record for the largest concert by a standalone artist.

]]>The post Taylor Swift Shares “Fortnight” Video From “The Tortured Poets Department” appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Just like the majority of Swift’s music videos in recent years, this one was directed by the singer herself, and she described it as the perfect visual representation of the entire album.
“When I was writing the ‘Fortnight’ music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music. Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another,” she wrote on Instagram.
Swift is joined by Post Malone, who plays her love interest, a co-worker at a dystopian office where they use old-fashioned typewriters, and one of the doctors at the insane asylum where Swift is held against her will. Dead Poets Society co-stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles also make a cameo as two of the doctors doing experiments on Swift.
The “Fortnight” music video accompanied the release of Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19. It’s one of 16 songs featured on its standard edition, but Swift also released an additional 15 tracks as a part of its companion piece The Anthology.

]]>The post Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” Tops Billboard 200 & Hot 100 Charts appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Eternal Sunshine hit the shelves on March 8 and managed to earn 227,000 equivalent album units during its debut week, including 77,000 in album sales. This makes it Grande’s sixth album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the largest week for any album in 2024 thus far.
As for the Hot 100 chart, Grande is also leading the way with her latest single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”. This song accompanied the release of Eternal Sunshine and managed to earn 32.6 million streams, 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 9,000 in sales during its debut week.
“We Can’t Be Friends” is a true record-breaker for Grande because it marks her seventh No. 1 Hot 100 debut, helping her break Taylor Swift’s record for most chart-topping debuts among female artists.
It also helped her become the only artist in history to have multiple Hot 100 chart-topping debuts from two different albums, since she also hit No. 1 with the lead single “Yes, And?” back in January.

]]>The post Sam Mendes is Working on Four Films Inspired By The Beatles appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Mendes’ films aim to “tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history”, from their foundation to their breakup in 1970. This project is a historic first for the band because Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison all agreed to give full life story and music rights to Mendes.
Mendes joined forces with Sony Pictures Entertainment to bring this project to life, and they’re planning to release all four films in 2027. The studio described its release strategy as “innovative and groundbreaking”, but they’re yet to share the exact details.
“Pairing [Mendes’] premiere filmmaking team, with the music and the stories of four young men who changed the world, will rock audiences all over the globe. We are deeply grateful to all parties and look forward ourselves to breaking some rules with Sam’s uniquely artistic vision,” said Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group’s CEO Tom Rothman.
The Beatless made music together for a single decade between 1960 and 1970, but that didn’t stop them from going down in history as one of the most influential rock bands of all time. They shared several unreleased tracks following their breakup, including last year’s “Now and Then”.

]]>The NFL bosses announced that Usher would be headlining the halftime show back in September, and he couldn’t wait to cross this dream off of his bucket list. He delivered another nostalgic halftime show performance, following in the footsteps of Rihanna, and hip-hop stars Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
Usher’s performance started off amazing, with “My Way” serving as an intro, and only got better from that point on. The crowd went wild once Alicia Keys joined him on stage, with amazing new takes of “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo”.
Keys wasn’t the only special guest joining Usher on Sunday night, and she was soon followed H.E.R. and will.i.am. Lil Jon and Ludacris were there for the grand finale and helped Usher hypnotize the crowd with the epic rendition of his smash hit “Yeah!”
Usher headlined Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on February 11, which saw the Kansas City Chiefs win their second consecutive Super Bowl title.

]]>Grande gave us a taste of Eternal Sunshine with the lead single “Yes, And?”, which she dropped on January 12. This song became an instant hit, debuting atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her sixth No. 1 debut in the US and the eighth single to top the chart overall.
Grande’s fans have been patiently awaiting its follow-up ever since, but they’ll have to wait a little bit longer. The singer recently took to social media to reveal she’s not planning to drop any more singles before Eternal Sunshine hits the shelves on March 8.
“As hard as it is to resist the urge to share another song or single with you ASAP, I would really love for you to experience the album in full this time… Waiting a little longer for you to be able to listen fully through first really is my ideal way for you all to experience this body of work,” explained Grande in a recent Instagram story.

]]>The post Madonna’s Free Concert in Brazil Makes History With a 1.6 Million Crowd appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Madonna’s The Celebration Tour took her all around the world in the past few months, and she decided to wrap it up in style. Back in late March, she announced a free concert at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach, and set expectations high for this performance.
“The event will be her biggest gig yet, an unforgettable concert in one of the world’s most beautiful settings. The show will be free of charge as a thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music over the course of the epic global run of the tour,” she said in an official statement.
The free concert took place on May 4 and managed to exceed everyone’s expectations. 1.6 million people showed up to watch Madonna perform her biggest hits alongside special guests Anitta and Pabllo Vittar. Copacabana Beach attracted bigger crowds in the past, most notably during its New Year’s Eve events, but Madonna’s concert still managed to make history, setting a record for the largest concert by a standalone artist.

]]>The post Taylor Swift Shares “Fortnight” Video From “The Tortured Poets Department” appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Just like the majority of Swift’s music videos in recent years, this one was directed by the singer herself, and she described it as the perfect visual representation of the entire album.
“When I was writing the ‘Fortnight’ music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music. Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another,” she wrote on Instagram.
Swift is joined by Post Malone, who plays her love interest, a co-worker at a dystopian office where they use old-fashioned typewriters, and one of the doctors at the insane asylum where Swift is held against her will. Dead Poets Society co-stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles also make a cameo as two of the doctors doing experiments on Swift.
The “Fortnight” music video accompanied the release of Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19. It’s one of 16 songs featured on its standard edition, but Swift also released an additional 15 tracks as a part of its companion piece The Anthology.

]]>Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé’s eighth solo studio album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and it soared to the top with 407,000 equivalent album units. It earned the largest week for an album in 2024 and the biggest streaming week of Beyoncé’s career, with 300.41 million official streams, equaling 232,000 SEA units.
Pure album sales amounted to 168,000 units, helping Cowboy Carter soar to the top of the Billboard’s Album Sales chart. It also topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, making history as the first album by a female Black artist to do so.
Cowboy Carter hit the shelves on March 29, and its release was preceded by singles “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages”. Beyoncé envisioned it as the second installment of a trilogy that also features Renaissance, which sees her exploring the Black roots of country music. Cowboy Carter features several A-list collaborations, with the likes of Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Post Malone.

]]>The post Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” Tops Billboard 200 & Hot 100 Charts appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Eternal Sunshine hit the shelves on March 8 and managed to earn 227,000 equivalent album units during its debut week, including 77,000 in album sales. This makes it Grande’s sixth album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the largest week for any album in 2024 thus far.
As for the Hot 100 chart, Grande is also leading the way with her latest single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”. This song accompanied the release of Eternal Sunshine and managed to earn 32.6 million streams, 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 9,000 in sales during its debut week.
“We Can’t Be Friends” is a true record-breaker for Grande because it marks her seventh No. 1 Hot 100 debut, helping her break Taylor Swift’s record for most chart-topping debuts among female artists.
It also helped her become the only artist in history to have multiple Hot 100 chart-topping debuts from two different albums, since she also hit No. 1 with the lead single “Yes, And?” back in January.

]]>The post Sam Mendes is Working on Four Films Inspired By The Beatles appeared first on Gingerize.
]]>Mendes’ films aim to “tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history”, from their foundation to their breakup in 1970. This project is a historic first for the band because Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison all agreed to give full life story and music rights to Mendes.
Mendes joined forces with Sony Pictures Entertainment to bring this project to life, and they’re planning to release all four films in 2027. The studio described its release strategy as “innovative and groundbreaking”, but they’re yet to share the exact details.
“Pairing [Mendes’] premiere filmmaking team, with the music and the stories of four young men who changed the world, will rock audiences all over the globe. We are deeply grateful to all parties and look forward ourselves to breaking some rules with Sam’s uniquely artistic vision,” said Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group’s CEO Tom Rothman.
The Beatless made music together for a single decade between 1960 and 1970, but that didn’t stop them from going down in history as one of the most influential rock bands of all time. They shared several unreleased tracks following their breakup, including last year’s “Now and Then”.

]]>The NFL bosses announced that Usher would be headlining the halftime show back in September, and he couldn’t wait to cross this dream off of his bucket list. He delivered another nostalgic halftime show performance, following in the footsteps of Rihanna, and hip-hop stars Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
Usher’s performance started off amazing, with “My Way” serving as an intro, and only got better from that point on. The crowd went wild once Alicia Keys joined him on stage, with amazing new takes of “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo”.
Keys wasn’t the only special guest joining Usher on Sunday night, and she was soon followed H.E.R. and will.i.am. Lil Jon and Ludacris were there for the grand finale and helped Usher hypnotize the crowd with the epic rendition of his smash hit “Yeah!”
Usher headlined Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on February 11, which saw the Kansas City Chiefs win their second consecutive Super Bowl title.

]]>Grande gave us a taste of Eternal Sunshine with the lead single “Yes, And?”, which she dropped on January 12. This song became an instant hit, debuting atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her sixth No. 1 debut in the US and the eighth single to top the chart overall.
Grande’s fans have been patiently awaiting its follow-up ever since, but they’ll have to wait a little bit longer. The singer recently took to social media to reveal she’s not planning to drop any more singles before Eternal Sunshine hits the shelves on March 8.
“As hard as it is to resist the urge to share another song or single with you ASAP, I would really love for you to experience the album in full this time… Waiting a little longer for you to be able to listen fully through first really is my ideal way for you all to experience this body of work,” explained Grande in a recent Instagram story.
