La banda que Cream no soportaba: "Somos diez veces mejor"

Pocas rivalidades en la historia del rock clásico fueron tan explícitas y unilaterales como la que los tres miembros de Cream tenían con Led Zeppelin. A pesar de que ambas bandas compartieron casi el mismo período histórico (Cream se separó en 1968, justo cuando Zeppelin comenzaba a formarse), los músicos del primer grupo nunca ocultaron […]

Who will take home the top prizes on Sunday (May 17) during the ACM Awards?

This year, women lead the nominations, with Megan Moroney at the head of this year’s slate of nominees with nine nods, followed by Miranda Lambert with eight, and Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson with seven nominations each. This also marks the second consecutive year that a female solo artist leads the nominations (last year, Langley was the top-nominated artist, with eight nominations).

Wilson and Moroney are up against Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll and Morgan Wallen for the coveted entertainer of the year accolade. If Combs wins, he’ll secure the ACM’s triple crown, as he has also previously taken home the new male artist of the year and male artist of the year accolades. Meanwhile, if Wilson wins, she would join Carrie Underwood as the only woman to win the entertainer of the year trophy three times, and would be the first woman to win it three consecutive years.

Several early winners have already been revealed, with Tucker Wetmore earning the new male artist of the year title, Avery Anna earning the new female artist of the year title, the music video for Stephen Wilson Jr.’s “Cuckoo” winning visual media of the year, and Jessie Jo Dillon winning songwriter of the year.

Shania Twain will host this year’s awards show, which will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The show will stream live via Prime Video for the fifth consecutive year.

Here are Billboard’s predictions on who will emerge victorious in select categories, from Melinda Newman (executive editor, West Coast/Country) and Jessica Nicholson (associate editor, Country).

Drake returns by releasing three new albums ‘Iceman,’ ‘Maid of Honour’ and ‘Habibti.’ There are references to BTS and shots at DJ Khaled and LeBron James, and he reignites his feud with Kendrick Lamar through a new collaboration with Future on “Run to Atlanta” from ‘Iceman’ and more!

Drake name-drops BTS, reignites the Kendrick beef, releases three albums, and the White House got involved. Buckle up, and let’s chat Drake. So Drake just released a lot of new music, and besides name-dropping global superstars BTS on the track “Make Them Cry” that has left the fellas and their fans maybe a little confused, he also decided to bring 2024 back and his beef with K-Dot. He dropped a track that features Future, a frequent Drake collaborator who was also on a Kendrick diss track, and of course the title “Ran to Atlanta” references the famous “Not Like Us” lyric. These are tracks from the album ‘Iceman’ but he also dropped two other projects, ‘Habibti’ and ‘Maid of Honour.’ Drizzy has the opportunity to occupy the top three of the Billboard 200 next week, which has only been done in the past by Michael Jackson. Also randomly chiming in is the White House with this MAGA edit of the ‘Iceman’ cover. Any thoughts on this, Drizzy? And what’s everybody’s thoughts on the album? Let us know in the comments.

Drake is back to his record-setting ways.

On Friday (May 15), Spotify announced that Drake has set the single-day records for most-streamed artist, album and song on the platform in 2026, thanks to his first new solo project since 2023.

The single-day 2026 album honor goes to Iceman — one of three albums the rapper dropped first thing Friday, in addition to surprise releases Maid of Honour and Habibti — and the single-day 2026 song honor is for “Make Them Cry,” the opening track on Iceman.

“On May 15th, Drake became Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2026 in a single day, ICEMAN became the most-streamed album of 2026 in a single day, and ‘Make Them Cry’ became the most-streamed song in a single day in 2026 so far,” Spotify announced across their social channels late Friday.

The trio of albums marks Drake’s first solo project since 2023’s For All the Dogs. Last year, he released Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a joint album with fellow Canadian musician PARTYNEXTDOOR.

Before the Iceman arrival, BTS’ ARIRANG became the platform’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2026 upon its release in March. Coincidentally, Drake name-drops the South Korean boy band on his new project, specifically on the Spotify-record-setting “Make Them Cry.” In an Instagram Stories clip posted by BTS’ V on Friday, he’s hanging out with J-Hope, dancing while listening to the song, when Drizzy spits, “I’m feeling like BTS, ’cause it took the whole career for me to be so discovered.” The two performers freeze and simultaneously look at the camera, stunned.

J-pop festival Zipangu has teamed up with sponsor Xbox for a fashion collaboration with Fast & Furious franchise actor Sung Kang. The exclusive collaboration – in partnership with LA-based AAPI-led lifestyle brand UPRISERS LAB – is tied to the upcoming global release of the video game Forza Horizon 6, out Tuesday.

The collection is launching in conjunction with the inaugural Zipangu event on Saturday at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Zipangu is being billed as “the largest Japanese music event on U.S. soil devoted to Japanese music and culture,” according to promoters Goldenvoice and Cloud Nine. The One-day festival will feature performances from Ado, ATARASHII GAKKO!, CHANMINA, HANA, MAN WITH A MISSION, Yuki Chiba and 10-FEET.

The collection features two exclusive jacket styles constructed from upcycled Japanese selvedge denim and incorporates custom laser-etched design elements including cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji, Japanese sports cars and Forza Horizon 6 and Zipangu branding. The Zipangu x Forza Horizon 6 Edition jacket is designed with 3M reflective silver taping running along the seams and the interior features a fully sublimated Forza Horizon 6 lining and a spec-designed controller pocket sized for Xbox and PlayStation controllers.

The Sung Kang x Forza Horizon 6 jacket features a soft periwinkle colorway inspired by Tokyo’s evening sky, with hand-sewn 3D cherry blossom denim appliqués and sashiko-style patches laser-etched with game iconography, including Japanese drift references and Forza Horizon 6 and Zipangu logos. Only six of these jackets were made.

“I’ve always believed the things we build should tell a story, not just about where we’re going, but where we come from,” said Sung Kang in a release. “This project brings together everything I love — cars, culture and craftsmanship. It’s something that moves with you, whether you’re on the road or stepping into another world.”

Fans can enter online through Xbox’s Instagram account for their chance to win one of the jackets. Fans attending Zipangu will also have a chance to win jackets on-site.

“Zipangu is about creating cultural connection through music, community and shared experience,” said Goldenvoice vp of regional festivals Ellen Lu in a release. “This collaboration reflects that vision – bringing together sound, style and storytelling in a way that resonates across cultures.”

Kodak Black has been arrested for the second time in less than a month, as the Florida rapper (born Bill Kapri) was booked into custody Thursday (May 14) on charges of fleeing law enforcement.

According to Broward County Clerk of Courts jail records, in addition to the charge of fleeing law enforcement — a third-degree felony — Kodak was also charged with resisting or obstructing without violence, which is a misdemeanor.

The charges stem from a Feb. 27 traffic stop in Pompano Beach, Fla., according to NBC6, which viewed the arrest affidavit that claims Kodak “did have knowledge that he had been ordered to stop such vehicle by a duly authorized law enforcement officer, stopped in knowing compliance with such order, and proceeded to flee from deputies.”

Of the Feb. 27 incident, the report states that officers spotted Kodak in a pink Jeep Grand Cherokee and alleged he was stopped and holding up traffic. The “Super Gremlin” rapper then began driving and was eventually pulled over by the officers.

The situation took a turn when an SUV and a minivan pulled up next to the traffic stop, and multiple armed men, allegedly Kodak’s security guards, hopped out. That’s when Kodak got back in his Jeep and drove off, according to deputies.

Officers said Kodak was wearing a San Antonio Spurs jersey at the time of the traffic stop, which matched the wardrobe he was wearing in a post on social media earlier on Feb. 27.

The same pink Jeep Cherokee was allegedly pulled over again hours later, though it was then being driven by another individual. Officers found 16 grams of Oxycodone, three grams of cannabis, more than $26,000 in cash and prized diamond jewelry pieces.

The Sniper Gang rapper was in court for a hearing on Friday (May 15). “When they say everyone was armed, that pulled up, that was his security team. So yes, his security team is armed, they are licensed to carry. It is a Second Amendment state,” Kodak’s attorney, Bradford M. Cohen, reportedly told the judge. “And they all have permits for their firearms.”

Kodak posted a $3,500 bond and was released on Friday following the hearing. He was ordered not to use any weapons while the case remains active.

The rapper ran into legal trouble earlier in the month when he was arrested in Florida on May 6 on drug trafficking charges. He’s accused of trafficking MDMA, the drug more commonly known as Molly or ecstasy.

At the time of that arrest, Kodak’s attorney Cohen explained in a statement to Billboard that it was a “coordinated surrender” to authorities over a November 2025 incident in which police discovered a bottle of prescription cough syrup while searching a car. Cohen claims his client wasn’t in the car at the time, and that there were no fingerprints on the bottle leading back to the rapper.

“We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed,” Cohen added.

Billboard has reached out to Cohen for comment on the latest incident.

Hilary Duff fans can finally exhale with relief now that she’s performed “Breathe In. Breathe Out.” for the first time ever, more than a decade after its release.

The deep cut from her 2015 album of the same name made it onto the setlist of the singer/actress’ Thursday night (May 14) performance at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles for SiriusXM’s Small Stage Series. In a video captured by Billboard, Duff effortlessly belted out the fan-favorite track in a pair of jeans and ethereal pink top with a long train, her voice sounding buoyant and crystal clear.

“I made a top 10 list of all the things I missed/ Your lyin’ eyes and lips, they didn’t make it,” she croons as the fans in the crowd sing along to every word. “And when I’m cold at night, I know that I’ll survive/ Until I feel all right, I’m gonna fake it.”

Breathe In. Breathe Out. reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200, marking her last album until Luck … or Something arrived in February and ended her decadelong musical drought. In June, she’ll embark on her Lucky Me Tour.

In an interview with SiriusXM prior to her Thursday show, Duff opened up about how intimidating it was to launch her musical comeback after spending such a long time away. “I don’t even think I had processed how scary it was, you know?” she said. “To just be on stage again and singing my old songs actually felt more comfortable than singing some of the new ones.

“There’s, like, muscle memory with those,” she continued. “But these [new songs] feel so a part of who I am now that it’s just this really cool like combination.”

Watch Duff sing “Breathe In. Breathe Out.” live for the first time below.
