Con apenas 14 años de edad y una trayectoria musical de más de seis años, la joven artista antioqueña Juanita Botero da un paso clave en su carrera. Su más reciente sencillo, titulado «Sueños», logró ingresar al listado Local Pulse Bogotá de Spotify, ubicándose en la posición 69 entre las tendencias más escuchadas de la capital colombiana.
Lanzado el pasado 1 de agosto, el tema es una banda corrido producida por Jutha que nace como una propuesta de automotivación. Su letra resalta la importancia del trabajo diario, la constancia y la determinación necesaria para transformar los objetivos personales en realidad.
Un proyecto conceptual versátil
«Sueños» representa la puerta de entrada a un EP homónimo integrado por cinco canciones, desarrollado durante un campamento de composición creativo entre la artista y su productor. El repertorio destaca por recorrer diferentes vertientes del regional mexicano y géneros afines:
Banda y corridos: la base rítmica y enérgica que abandera este primer corte.
Cumbia y ranchera: sonidos festivos y tradicionales que aportan dinamismo a la producción.
Bolero: espacio para matices líricos que resaltan su registro vocal.
El proyecto abarca temáticas de amor, crecimiento personal y vivencias propias, combinando composiciones inéditas de la artista con una búsqueda constante por definir una identidad musical sólida. Las cuatro entregas restantes del EP se estrenarán de manera escalonada entre finales de 2026 y comienzos de 2027.
Trayectoria y proyección internacional
El ascenso de Juanita Botero se suma a su destacado paso por la semifinal de La Voz Kids 2024 y a su nominación en los Premios Estela de Guatemala 2025 en las categorías de Mejor Interpretación Femenina y Mejor Canción Regional. Con este lanzamiento, la intérprete paisa continúa consolidando su propuesta dentro de la escena del regional hecho en Colombia.
El sencillo «Sueños» se encuentra disponible en todas las plataformas digitales de música.

Un polémico episodio ocurrido en las alturas terminó en un drástico acuerdo legal que salpica al reconocido influencer Yeferson Cossio, quien no podrá hacer uso de los servicios de la aerolínea Avianca hasta el 21 de agosto de 2027.
La determinación se dio a conocer luego de adelantarse un procedimiento de justicia restaurativa ante la Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá, derivado de una delicada alteración a la tranquilidad del trayecto.

Los hechos se remontan al pasado 11 de marzo de 2026 durante el desarrollo del vuelo AV46, el cual cubría la ruta entre Bogotá y Madrid.
Según la reconstrucción del caso presentada por la empresa de transporte aéreo, el creador de contenido activó dentro de la cabina de pasajeros un elemento químico no autorizado. Esta acción configuró un directo incumplimiento al Reglamento Aeronáutico Colombiano y generó una fundada preocupación entre los usuarios y la tripulación a bordo.
Ante la gravedad del acontecimiento, la compañía inició acciones legales en defensa de la seguridad operacional. No obstante, el litigio concluyó de manera concertada mediante un mecanismo alternativo en el que el popular influencer aceptó de forma voluntaria la restricción de vuelo por un periodo de doce meses.
El pacto incluyó disculpas formales dirigidas a la tripulación, los viajeros afectados y la directiva de la compañía, así como garantías de no repetición.
Mauricio Pava Lugo, abogado representante de la compañía aérea, enfatizó que la solución combinó la responsabilidad con consecuencias reales, ratificando la política de cero tolerancia frente a conductas que pongan en riesgo los viajes.
La aerolínea supeditó el cierre definitivo de los procesos judiciales al estricto cumplimiento de lo pactado. El mediático caso deja en evidencia que el acatamiento de las normas aeronáuticas es obligatorio e indispensable para todos los ciudadanos, independientemente del reconocimiento público o la fama que ostente el pasajero en plataformas digitales.

The Game says he didn’t diss anybody on his new project.
The West Coast rapper just dropped The Documentary III, his 11th solo album, and fans feel like he took shots at fellow Compton MC Kendrick Lamar multiple times. He even has Drake featured on a hook. However, The Game denies these claims — although he seemingly mentions Lamar and alludes to Dot’s beef with Drake multiple times on the project.

Instagram page @obzervetv reposted a rant from user @tyleravilez in which he criticizes Game for “dissing” Kendrick because they’re both from the same city and that he should be taking on more of an “elder” role at this point in his career. “As an L.A. native, we’re supposed to be sticking together, we’re supposed to be showing that we are a unit, and that if you mess with one of us, you mess with all us, and yet you dissin’ one of our own,” he said. “It doesn’t make any sense, bro. Wrap it up.”
He added: “At this point in time, you’re supposed to be an elder. You are supposed to helping the youth. Giving people opportunity, so they can get in the rap game and flourish.”
The Game then hopped in @obzervetv‘s comments and said he didn’t diss Kendrick at all. “Ain’t diss nobody on that song loud fa nuthin ahhhh [ninja emoji],” he wrote in a comment that has been pinned.
For what it’s worth, on the song “Geezus,” The Game raps, “I say Drake the homie, y’all say it’s treason/ I can’t believe it/ Want me to pick sides while y’all d–kride/ When you’re from the west side you ain’t gotta pick sides…/ I draw led, erase you n—as/ Put that on God, it’s me against all odds/ I’ll pop the steering column on the GNX and wait for n—as.” Then, on “No Brakes” featuring Drake, he mentions picking sides again when he raps, “Me, Drake and a Draco, we the Three Amigos/ N—a said pick a side, then I’m picking homicide,” in reference to the Toronto rapper and Kendrick’s battle in 2024. On “LA Monster,” he alludes to Lamar’s “Boogeyman” moniker and again mentions GNX, the title of Lamar’s 2024-released best rap album Grammy winner. “I ain’t got no problem with the boogeyman/ And he ain’t got a problem with me/ ‘Cause I’ma LA Monster,” he raps and later spits, “I might drive the Rose today/ The GNX scare the hoes away/ ‘Cause I’ma LA Monster.”
Finally, on the track titled “The Pen,” he brings Kendrick up again, but this time, he acknowledges the speculation that he’s been throwing shots and says that he hasn’t been. “Like Dr. Dre on the beat/ Yeah, I’m back with that sound/ They say I’m beefing with Kendrick/ How the f— do that sound?” The Game raps, ” ‘Cause I’m feeling like 50 when he made ‘Back Down’/ They say 50 made me, tell him make me again/ I kick myself out the group and make them hate me again.”
According to fellow West coast rapper Stat Quo, this all stems from The Game bringing out Drake to Compton to film the music video for their 2015 song “100.” But Stat alleges The Game didn’t take issue with Kendrick working with his old label boss-turned-rival 50 Cent when he made an appearance on Power, so there shouldn’t be any animosity between the two Compton rappers.

Not sure if you peeped, but it looks like Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign may be pivoting to Christian rap.
He recently sat down with The Shade Room and was asked why he’s changing the content of his rap music after going viral earlier this week when a clip of his new music surfaced. “Sometimes in life…I feel like…you gotta listen to that voice that’s talking to you,” he explained. “I feel like everybody is spiritual, everybody know who God is, right? And they pray a couple times, but you gotta actually do something for God. I mean, you’ve got to actually put in a little pain for God. I’m not a person that gotta learn the hard way, feel me? I just know when it’s time to get right.”
However, he doesn’t feel like he’s making gospel music exactly. “When people used to asked me if I was a drill artist, it was hard for to answer it,” he said after being asked if he sees himself as a gospel artist now. “So, as far as me being a gospel artist, this is the first time somebody asked me that question, I don’t feel like I’m a gospel artist and I really don’t feel like I’m doing gospel music, I just name it gospel music because I know what that means. But I feel like it’s just music from my heart. I got all types of beats on it. So, I don’t know what’s a real gospel beat, but the album got different styles of music where I’m praising God.”
Adding, “I don’t want to put it in a category. I’m just Fivi and I’m just trying to praise God through my music and not worship the devil through my music, push a positive image and change, you know, hopefully I get a blessing from God.”
He also said that he would like to eventually collaborate with gospel acts Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin in the future.
Fivio flirted with Christian rap on Ye’s (formerly Kanye West) 2021 Donda album on the song “Off the Grid” where he delivered one of the project’s standout verses.

Drake continues to rule streaming. After being crowned Spotify’s most-streamed artist in Canada last year, the streaming service has released its Global Impact List for the first half of 2026, revealing the 50 most-played songs by Canadian artists outside of their home country. To no one’s surprise, the Toronto rapper has 40 of the 50 spots, including the top 12.
Thanks to the rapper’s historic Iceman release — which included a triple-album drop with Maid of Honour and Habibti — Drake commands a whopping 80% of the list, led by his chart-topping hit, “Janice SFTU,” which the streaming platform already tapped as one of its song-of-the-summer contenders. It’s followed by “National Treasures,” “Shabang,” “Whisper My Name” and “Ran To Atlanta,” featuring Future and Molly Santana, to round out the top 5. He wraps up the list, too, with “Rust Intro” at No. 50.

The remaining artists on the list boast a diverse lineup of homegrown acts, spanning genres including country, indie rock, Punjabi, hip-hop and electronic.
Cameron Whitcomb is the highest-ranking act after Drake, landing at No. 13 with his viral track “Kingdom of Fear,” another track that the streaming service listed as a song-of-the-summer contender. It has become a big moment for the B.C. artist, securing his first top 3 hit on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart dated Aug. 22. Whitcomb earns a second entry on the Spotify list at No. 49 with “You and Me.”
In recent years, the growing influence of Punjabi-Canadian artists on the world stage has become a major force. While the second half of 2025’s list featured multiple tracks by Karan Aujla and Ikky, they’re passing the torch to Shubh, who claims two entries on the 2026 list. He arrives at No. 23 with “Moves” and “Bounce” at No. 35. It’s a welcome return for the Punjabi-Canadian act, who was on Spotify’s first-ever Global Impact List in 2025.
Viral act bbno$ lands at No. 41 with “diamonds are forever.” It’s been a year of transformation for the Vancouver-based artist, born Alex Gumuchian, who has found success with his independent project over the past couple of years.
At No. 43, viral Quebec duo Angine de Poitrine makes their first and only appearance on the list with “Fabienk,” arguably the group’s biggest hit from their album, Vol. II. The buzzy math rock group has made a global breakthrough with their polka-dot ensembles and unique sound.
Rounding out the list is what Spotify calls “a diverse cross-section of Canadian talent,” including: Toronto indie-rockers Good Kid with “Cicada” (No. 29), producer Murda Beatz’s Prospa-featuring track “Baby” (No. 33), Korean-Canadian rapper OXYNOVA’s “SSSAK” (No. 34) and Vancouver-based producer Asad Khan’s remix “Piya Ghar Aaya” (No. 39).

Montreal’s LASSO Festival Grows Rapidly Alongside Canada’s Country Music Scene
It’s not every day that Montreal’s public transit is filled with cowboy hats, Canadian tuxedos and Western belt buckles. Now, that’s a yearly mid-August tradition for country music lovers as LASSO celebrates its fifth edition.
The large-scale country music festival, co-produced by Evenko and Live Nation, welcomed over 43,000 fans this year on August 15 and 16. The lineup featured headliners Thomas Rhett and Mumford & Sons, along with established country acts like Carly Pearce, The Band Perry, Old Dominion and Jon Pardi and rising Canadian stars like Cameron Whitcomb, Morgan Griffiths and Noah Brigden.

Nick Farkas, Evenko’s senior vice-president of booking, concerts and events, says it’s a rapidly growing success story that has grown faster than other major festivals like Osheaga (which he co-founded).
“Five years in, where this festival is at, for me, is just fantastic,” Farkas says. “We were not this far along on any festival we’ve ever done. It’s a ton of fun to work on it.”
The festival’s growth fits into a bigger trend of country music throughout the music landscape. Recently, the genre has surpassed hip-hop and pop as the most successful genre at the top of the charts.
This week, the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 features a rare sweep of country songs comprising the top four slots, with Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” at No. 1, Stella Lefty’s “Boston” at No. 2, Cameron Whitcomb’s “Kingdom of Fear” at No. 3 and Morgan Wallen’s “Been By Now” at No. 4.
That potential was first bubbling when LASSO began five years ago, but it was unforeseen in Canada just five years before that.
“We had one arena country show every few years,” Farkas explains. “[The scene] was non-existent, and we had no country radio, so it was not on anyone’s radar. We started seeing a shift when we booked a show with Luke Bryan in 2016 and it sold out the Bell Centre in like a day. We were like, “Holy crap, that’s, there’s something going on here with some of this newer country stuff.”
Evenko later rolled the dice with a large-scale festival, combining the rising global appeal of country music with the Quebec and Canadian scene, giving local country musicians a global stage and spotlight that didn’t previously exist in the metropolis.
This year, Lasso saw a record 30% turnout from outside Quebec, a “huge win,” per Farkas, that has cemented the festival’s nationwide and international reputation.

Drake Celebrates the Opening of History Ottawa: ‘I Will Be There to Drop Off My Personal Touch’
History Ottawa is officially open.
The city’s newest music hub is the first expansion of the popular five-year-old Toronto music venue co-owned by Drake and Live Nation. In celebration of its public opening, the homegrown rapper took to social media to express his excitement.
Drake hints that there could be more expansions coming while thanking Live Nation “for giving me the continued trust on a journey that I hope is shared with every city and country worldwide” and teases an in-person experience in Ottawa, revealing that he “will be there to drop off my personal touch to Ottawa soon.”
The 2,000-person venue will welcome dozens of international artists to the country’s capital, cementing the nation’s capital as a music hub outside of the bigger ones in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
Artists slated to perform at the venue include: Two Door Cinema Club, Modest Mouse, Wolf Parade, Owen Riegling, Jamie Fine and Thundercat, among others.

Daisy Chain Fields may be a one-day event, but the outfit possibilities are endless. Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural festival arrives Saturday, Aug. 29, at Great Park in Irvine, California, bringing together Stevie Nicks, KATSEYE, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Garbage, Bikini Kill, The Breeders and more for a cross-generational lineup. Tickets sold out in roughly 30 minutes, with an option to join a waitlist on the official website. But if you were one of the lucky ones to snag a pass, it’s officially time to figure out what to wear.
The festival’s name suggests a sunny palette and floral touches, but the music stretches from ’90s punk and alternative rock to contemporary pop, hip-hop and Y2K-leaning sounds. That leaves plenty of room for boho, punk and ’00s indie looks. California heat is another factor, with Los Angeles hitting the low 90s this week, so breathable pieces are key. Comfortable flats or boots make sense for grass and pavement, though a platform boot with a Stevie Nicks spirit can work. We’ve rounded up the fashion inspiration to help you build the look, including Depop’s dedicated Daisy Chain Fields festival edits spanning ’10s alt-pop, ’00s indie, ’90s punk and ’70s folk.

Daisy Chain Fields is an all-women music festival created by Olivia Rodrigo to celebrate women in music while supporting and uplifting women and girls through community, education and advocacy. The name reflects Rodrigo’s vision of individual women coming together as interconnected, stronger links in a larger chain — do we think she’ll perform “The Chain” with Stevie Nicks? Oh, I hope so.
Daisy Chain Fields begins at 10:30 a.m. and runs until 10 p.m., with 14 scheduled sets that don’t overlap (thank you, Olivia Rodrigo), across the Dandelion and Marigold stages and three special guests joining the “Vampire” singer for the closing performance.
The lineup moves through pop, indie, alternative, rock, punk, hip-hop and electronic sounds, with dedicated slots for Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Katseye, Santigold, Garbage, Bikini Kill, The Breeders, Rachel Chinouriri, Die Spitz, Eli, Not For Radio and Quiet Light. Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Karen O are billed as special guests, with McLachlan specifically set to sing with Rodrigo after being the first person Rodrigo called when she decided to create the festival.

Los Lobos has reached a settlement with Sony Music Entertainment over royalties for “Canción del Mariachi,” the Chicano rock band’s collaboration with Antonio Banderas from the 1995 western Desperado.
A Friday (Aug. 21) court filing, obtained and first reported by Billboard, states that Los Lobos and Sony Music have jointly agreed to dismiss the band’s breach of contract lawsuit. An attorney for Los Lobos, Evan Cohen, told Billboard that the matter has been settled but declined to share any deal terms. A Sony rep did not immediately return a request for comment.

Los Lobos sued Sony Music, whose imprint Milan Records handles distribution for “Canción del Mariachi,” in December 2025. The band claimed it hadn’t received any digital royalties for the recording, even though streams have skyrocketed since mixed martial artist Ilia “El Matador” Topuria made it his walkout anthem in recent years.
“Despite the specific knowledge that the popularity of the recording was spiking and reaching new audiences, Sony and Milan still paid nothing to Los Lobos for streaming, and continues to pay nothing, for streaming anywhere in the world or for any time period,” read the lawsuit.
Sony Music broadly denied wrongdoing and liability in its first response to the lawsuit in February. Banderas was not involved in the case.
Even after Friday’s settlement, Los Lobos is not entirely done fighting against the Sony corporation. The band still has another lawsuit pending against a different division of the Japanese media conglomerate, Sony Pictures Entertainment, over royalties from the 1987 Ritchie Valens biopic La Bamba.
That case, filed in November 2025, alleges that Los Lobos has been deprived of international streaming royalties for various Valens covers that the band recorded for the La Bamba soundtrack. This includes Los Lobos’ version of “La Bamba,” which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987. Sony Pictures and its subsidiary studio, Columbia Pictures, are in charge of royalty accounting for that soundtrack outside the U.S. and Canada.
Sony Pictures claims it has complied with all payment obligations to Los Lobos. According to court filings, the company investigated after the La Bamba lawsuit was filed and realized that $17,000 worth of foreign streaming royalties had been underpaid for a “discrete time period.”
Lawyers for Sony Pictures say the company promptly sent that amount to the band, plus interest, for a total of $22,000 this past January. But Los Lobos says more money is still owed, and mediation remains ongoing.

This week, Billboard’s New Music Latin poll — curated with key recommendations by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — features new music including Farruko’s “Madrid,” Yuridia’s “Que Se Vaya” and Pepe Aguilar’s new live album recorded during his concert at the Hollywood Bowl, to name a few.
Notably, Los Ángeles Azules and TINI teamed up on a second collaboration called “Pa’ Él,” which blends the Mexican group’s signature cumbia sonidera sound with the Argentine’s pop vocal delicacy. “This one’s for him/ For the liar who didn’t know how to love me,” TINI chants in the chorus.
“I deeply admire how Los Ángeles Azules have managed to connect with so many generations through their music,” she said in a statement. The Mexican group added: “We hope audiences embrace it with the same love we put into creating it, and most of all, that they enjoy it and dance to it.”
Meanwhile, artists such as Myke Towers and El De La Tinta have also dropped new music this week.
The most recent New Music Latin poll (published on Aug. 14) was topped by Carín León and Ke Personaje’s “Qué Andas Haciendo,” which earned nearly 60% of the vote. Which release this week do you think is best? Give these new releases a spin and vote for your favorite new Latin music release below.
Editor’s Note: The results of the weekly New Music Latin poll will be posted if the poll generates more than 1,000 votes. This poll closes at 11 a.m. ET on Monday (Aug. 24).
Phoebe Bridgers tops a Billboard airplay chart for the first time as a solo artist, ruling the Aug. 29-dated Adult Alternative Airplay survey with “Lost Boys.”
The song rises 2-1 in its eighth week on the ranking, following the Aug. 14 release of parent album Lost Weekend.
Bridgers first reached Adult Alternative Airplay in 2017 with “Motion Sickness,” which rose to No. 26 in early 2018. Prior to “Lost Boys,” she logged her best peak with “Sidelines,” which hit No. 12 in 2022.
Bridgers does, however, have previous No. 1 success on Adult Alternative Airplay. Boygenius, her group with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, led for seven weeks in 2023 with “Not Strong Enough”; follow-up “Cool About It” reached No. 2.
“Lost Boys” makes Bridgers the second act to hit No. 1 on Adult Alternative Airplay for the first time in 2026, following Chris Stapleton, whose duet with Mumford & Sons, “Here,” led for two weeks in July. She’s the first first-timer to do so without any other acts since St. Paul & the Broken Bones reigned with “Sushi and Coca-Cola” in October.
Concurrently, “Lost Boys” lifts 23-22 on Alternative Airplay; her previous best, “Kyoto,” peaked at No. 25 in 2021 (boygenius’ “Not Strong Enough” hit No. 11). On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, “Lost Boys” climbs 21-17 with 2.2 million audience impressions, up 13%, in the week ending Aug. 20, according to Luminate.
“Lost Boys” is the lead single from Lost Weekend, Bridgers’ third studio album, which is set to impact the latest Billboard album charts. All lists dated Aug. 29 will update on Billboard.com on Tuesday, Aug. 25, with the top 10 of the Billboard 200 to be revealed Sunday, Aug. 23.
