Benny Blanco is giving Spanish-language music a beautiful new meaning with his next project.

The producer, who is set to release his forthcoming album Hermoso (Gorgeous) on Aug. 14, is letting fans take a look at what it’s all about. On Friday (June 11), the artist released “Joven y Salvaje” (young and wild), a song he produced to accompany the vocals of Spanish rapper Bb trickz.

Its rhythmic foundation relies on a simple, repeating melodic structure, paired with a house-inspired beat. Within the track, Trickz delivers verses that capture the rebelliousness and occasional recklessness of youth. “Young and wild/ I haven’t slept, and it’s a Tuesday/ A stoley is in the garage/ I smoke zaza; I’m on Mars,” the rapper says in Spanish. 

The music video of the song was also released on YouTube. Directed by Jake Schreier, the clip shows the artist — who previously appeared on Charli XCX’s Brat remix album — moving through a plain, white, minimalist space before getting dressed in racing gear, including a protective jumpsuit, a face cover, gloves, and a helmet. Once she finishes getting dressed, the room explodes with aggressive bursts of fireworks erupting.

Hermoso will be Blanco’s fourth studio album. In 2018, he released his debut project, Friends Keep Secrets. In 2021, he dropped Friends Keep Secrets 2, which expanded on his first album. In 2025, the producer, along with singer and wife Selena Gomez, released a joint project titled I Said I Love You First, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico has ruled that Bad Bunny’s ex-girlfriend can continue suing the star for allegedly featuring her voice saying the phrase “Bad Bunny baby” on the chart-topping album Un Verano Sin Ti without permission.

In a Wednesday (July 8) ruling, obtained by Billboard and translated from Spanish by the service DeepL, a majority of justices on the island’s highest court upheld a series of previous rulings that sustained Carliz De La Cruz Hernández’s claims over the use of her voice on the 2022 song “Dos Mil 16”. However, the court said De La Cruz Hernández waited too long to sue over the same vocal sample on Bad Bunny’s 2015 track “Pa Ti,” and these claims are barred by the statute of limitations. The lawsuit will now move forward as to “Dos Mil 16” only.

De La Cruz Hernández dated Bad Bunny (Benito Martinez Ocasio) on and off for several years beginning in 2011, and in 2015 she recorded a voice memo saying the tagline “Bad Bunny baby” at his request. She sued the singer and his label, Rimas Entertainment, in 2023, alleging she had not given permission or gotten proper financial compensation for the use of this recording on his songs.

The lawsuit’s key claims are brought under Puerto Rico’s right of publicity law. Just like in many other U.S. jurisdictions, this statute protects an individual’s voice from being used without their consent in a commercial setting. Traditionally, this has meant that people can only sue over the use of their voices in advertisements, and sound recordings are exempt.

In this specific case, however, a Puerto Rico judge ruled in 2024 that De La Cruz Hernández’s voice on “Dos Mil 16” was actually a form of advertising. That’s because, according to the judge, the sample’s circulation on social media fueled fan speculation about whether Un Verano Sin Ti would explore De La Cruz Hernández and Bad Bunny’s romantic relationship, thus driving album sales.

This finding was upheld in an initial appeal last year. On Wednesday (July 8), Puerto Rico’s Supreme Court agreed as well that the various lower courts got it right when they declined to dismiss De La Cruz Hernández’s right of publicity claims: “They did not err in determining that the facts presented regarding the commercial or business exploitation of Ms. De la Cruz Hernández’s voice were sufficient to draw attention to the product in question or to inform the public about it through the media,” wrote Justice Mildred G. Pabón Charneco for the majority.

In addition to these claims over the use of her voice, De La Cruz Hernández will also be allowed to keep pursuing copyright claims against Bad Bunny for allegedly infringing her rights to the “Bad Bunny baby” voice memo. This part of the lawsuit was dismissed in 2024, but the Supreme Court majority revived it on Wednesday after finding that the recording was potentially copyrightable.

“To the extent that such a performance using her voice is fixed in a tangible medium, we recognize that copyright may arise in the recording,” wrote Justice Pabón Charneco. “Ms. De la Cruz Hernández alleged in her complaint that the recording of her personal, distinctive and incomparable rendition of the phrase was misused and that it was used without proper attribution. Therefore, we conclude that the plaintiff has presented sufficient facts to eventually offer evidence justifying this claim.”

Not all the justices on Puerto Rico’s top court agreed with these findings. Justice Angel Colón Pérez filed a dissent saying he and other justices would have dismissed both the copyright and right of publicity claims against Bad Bunny: “It seems clear to us that, in the context of the present litigation, none of the causes of action invoked by Ms. De La Cruz Hernández is legally valid under any [law] available in our jurisdiction,” wrote Justice Colón Pérez.

Reps for both De La Cruz Hernández and Bad Bunny did not immediately return requests for comment on the decision on Friday (July 10).

Hilary Duff has been bringing Y2K nostalgia to every night of her Lucky Me Tour since it kicked off last month, and across two sold-out nights at the L.A.-area Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Wednesday and Thursday nights, she turned back the calendar to 2004 with a very personal throwback T-shirt.

Duff wore her very own 2004 concert tee for the occasion, which includes photos of the then-16-year-old pop star/actress on the front and the back and a full list of that year’s tour dates on the back. She also started selling a reprint of the tee at Forum merch booths and on her website.

As seen in Billboard‘s video from Thursday below, Duff wore the tee to perform her 2003 single “Why Not” from The Lizzie McGuire Movie soundtrack and her Metamorphosis album. Duff also re-recorded the song for her (Mine) EP this year as a well as a Walmart-exclusive version of her most recent album, February’s Luck… or Something.

Billboard caught up with Duff backstage at the Forum for an Aperol Spritz meet-and-greet, where she was asked about a fan interaction she’ll remember long after her tour ends.

“A more recent interaction was actually with the sweetest 8-year-old who was excited to see me — but I do think her mom was even more excited secretly,” Duff laughed. “They told me it was her first concert and that I was also the mother’s first concert, which is an amazing full-circle moment while I’m in such a thick part of my own life, returning to music and motherhood.”

The Lucky Me Tour continues Saturday night in Mountain View, California, and extends through early next year in Mexico City.

For You Fest is turning the feed you scroll through into a festival you can stroll through, announcing this week that its inaugural event will take place in November with programs led by social-media stars such as Quenlin Blackwell, Tana Mongeau, Trixie Mattel, Trisha Paytas, Drew Afualo, Caleb Hearon, Meg Stalter and more.

Kicking off Saturday, Nov. 14, at Great Park in Irvine, Calif., the two-day festival will open with a live taping of Superfans, a new podcast hosted by Billboard executive editor Lyndsey Havens, featuring fans and a surprise guest. That’s one of several in-person recordings coming to the podcast stage, which itself is one of three main divisions of the event. There will also be a music stage as well as a fashion and beauty stage, plus dedicated areas for meet-and-greets and various workshops on the grounds that attendees can add on to their tickets.

Blackwell and Owen Thiele are two more of the podcasters lined up for the first day of the festival, while Afualo and Hearon, Tana Mongeau, Stalter and more will bring their pods to the festival on day two, which is Nov. 15. Mattell, Paytas, Rebecca Black, Absolutely and others will perform on the music stage over the course of the weekend, while Chappell Roan collaborator Ramisha Sattar and makeup artist Patrick Ta are locked in to lead some of the many fashion and beauty offerings over the weekend.

Beyond the live installations, guests will be able to explore the For You Fest Trend Market — featuring a selection of the buzziest current brands to sample and shop — as well as dine and drink at the Food & Bev Village.

Tickets for the festival first became available in a presale on Friday (July 10), featuring options such as general admission for one or both days, pit viewing and VIP, plus “Bestie” and suite packages. Anyone can now purchase the remaining tickets on the For You Fest website.

Metallica’s ReLoad returns to Billboard’s album charts after its remastered reissue, as the set, first released in 1997, hits the top 10 on six different charts (dated July 11), including No. 1 on Top Hard Rock Albums. (All versions of the album, old and new, are combined on the charts.)

On Top Album Sales, ReLoad is amongst a busy top 10, where ATEEZ notches its seventh No. 1 with the debut of GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5. Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love falls to No. 2, while Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt reenters the chart at a new high at No. 3 after its 30th anniversary reissue.
