    I know some sources are saying that Paula Abdul is closing the show but I won't believe it until Bilboard itself announces it. She is the throwback performance (like Salt n Pepa and the Titanic performance in the last 2 years) and neither of those performances closed the show....

    No disrespect to Paula but if it's a choice of Madonna and Maluma or Ms. Abdul to close the show then it's a no-brainer.

    Its 30 years since FYG, she had 4 #1s on that album and 2 on the next

    Paula Abdul and Mariah Carey hold the record for the most Hot 100 No. 1s from a debut album, with four each. Michael set the record in 1987-88, when he ruled with four consecutive singles from Faith, his first solo LP after dissolving Wham! (“Faith,” "Father Figure," "One More Try" and "Monkey").

    I made a playlist for apple music on my i-phone, with Medellin being every other song.

    Question-  if you choose to download the song to your phone, does it still count into the streaming numbers for Medellin? Or must it literally be streaming from apple music using wifi or whatever to count towards the charts?

    I'm not entirely sure how it all works, but I'm trying! Great to see the YouTube numbers rising so quickly 😎

    I think you need to stream it from the site and especially from the playlists

    Is this real?????

     

    It hurts a lot to mention Roger Friedman, the famous bottom-feeding showbiz hack, and give him more attention than he deserves. After all, he worked at Fox News for several years, told vicious lies about certain celebrities who wouldn’t kiss his ass, and was finally fired when he reviewed a pirated copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

     

    Then, somehow, Mr. Friedman was hired by The Hollywood Reporter. He was eventually fired within months, and some said it was because of some emails in which he falsely accused his boss of being “HIV Positive.” This happened after THR was infested with complaints concerning Friedman’s inaccurate posts and poor fact checking. Soon, he somehow found work at Forbes, where he was only fired after a couple of months. The website deleted every article Friedman wrote, many which contained lies about Whitney Houston’s death.

     

    Being fired from three outlets didn’t seem to deter Friedman. After all, he is good friends with Matt Drudge, who often links to Friedman’s work on The Drudge Report, even if it is proven to be completely false. Friedman was smart enough to start his own site, Showbiz411, which continues his daily slander. His site has slandered so many people that even Google News has taken the website off its news search engine as of January.

     

    He helped and enabled Harvey Weinsten by making hit pieces dictated by him 

     

    In 2004, word got around that Jennifer Lopez was complaining about being sexually harassed by Harvey, who then directed Roger Friedman to sabotage her.

    Shockingly, Jennifer Lopez is just one of many of women who Harvey had on his hit list. Another one is Gwyneth Paltrow, who talked about being abused and threatened by Weinstein in the New York Times. Gwyneth didn’t speak much about her abuse, but did tell some, including her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt. Harvey didn’t become fully aware of how many people Gwyneth told until the early 2000s.

     

    In 2003, Gwyneth said some things that Harvey thought disparaged her work with Miramax. And, as usual, Weinstein contacted Friedman, which resulted in this Fox News hit piece. There would be several more in the coming years, no matter what site Friedman worked on. (Once in a while, he would say nice things as to not make things completely obvious) However, Gwyneth has never been on Weinstein’s hit list like her former best friend, Madonna.

    Yes, this is shocking since Miramax distributed Madonna’s 1991 film Truth or Dare. And everybody in the industry thought Madonna and Weinstein were good friends. Apparently, they were until Madonna was cast as the lead role in the Miramax film Fiddlefest, which was to be directed by Wes Craven. Madonna ended up being kicked out because of “creative differences,” and the film became known as Music of the Heart with Meryl Streep taking on Madonna’s lead role as a music teacher.

    Part of the truth was that Madonna was just not cut out for the role. In addition, she was also very stubborn. When Harvey Weinstein got involved in the early summer of 1998, things went from bad to downright scary. Weinstein constantly referred to Madonna as “The C*nt,” which became her nickname among people working on the project. Harvey would call Craven and ask, “So, what is The C*nt up to today?”

    There was a physical altercation between Harvey and Madonna, who, by this time, got used to being physically attacked by men in the film industry. Abel Ferrara notoriously hit her on the set of the film Dangerous Game. But after Madonna exited the film, she put the incident aside and didn’t hold much of a grudge against Weinstein. However, Weinstein continued to refer to Madonna as “The C*nt,” and directed his hit-boy Roger Friedman to write hit pieces.

    Till this day, Friedman has attacked Madonna, her children, her music, her acting, her charity, etc. He often feeds negative stories about her, most of them slanderous, to Matt Drudge. The fact that Weinstein and Madonna were involved in a few more projects after the 1998 debacle makes all this more confusing. After all, it was The Weinstein Company who purchased the rightsto Madonna’s critically-maligned W.E. in 2011. The truth is that Harvey actually thought it could do good business on the heels of The King’s Speech.

     

    Harvey was was wrong. He was also enraged that Madonna wouldn’t promote the film more. Since then, Weinstein has directed Friedman and other journalists to write even more hateful pieces about Madonna. Perhaps, Madonna knows about this as well. After all, this is what she posted when the news about Weinstein went public. https://exposingweinstein.com/2018/05/19/roger-friedman-the-man-who-enabled-harvey-weinstein-for-decades/

    1.4M views on the first 11 hours on YouTube, it will finish the first day with 2.5M-3M.

    On Spotify I guess it will move around 500k streams for the first day.

    and with the #12 on iTunes I don’t think that it will be enough to chart on Billboard because it will only have two days to generate points, it will chart next week and the video will help.

    There is strong competition, Taylor Swift just announced she will release the 26th of April, Beyonce is also releasing some shit

    I didn't realise that I thought he was still successful continually I know he's only 25.

    Im having trouble finding a chart of all his singles and their performance on latin countries, but if you can find it you will see that he has released tons of stuff that didnt stick, his very latest HD has had a decent performance but after many singles that underperformed...

    I agree fantastic beat and the cha cha cha is a nice hook.

    I know it's only a day but I've had a look in the sales thread and the song is number 1 in many of the Latin iTunes Charts and in Spain....

    ...I think the song will burn the charts in these markets where Maluma has a huge following and influence. I would be shocked if the song flopped in these territories, it would be Maluma first flop.

    That is not true, Maluma has flopped numerous times, especially lately...

    It's trending here in the US at 25, so it's probably worldwide.
