| Posted: 26 May 2019 12:23 PM PDT  James Charles' Sister Tour is officially no more after the beauty guru broke the bad news on Instagram Saturday that he is "pulling the plug" on the sold-out nationwide tour. While it may come to no surprise after the turbulent few weeks the 20-year-old has had following the Tati Westbrook feud, that saw him lose millions of YouTube subscribers (only to gain most of them back just as quickly) Charles wanted to let his fans know that the cancellation was due to "personal reasons." "This was 100 percent my decision, I want to make that clear," Charles said in his Instagram story. "I made the decision for a lot of personal reasons." He continued: "I'm not going to go into detail of what happened over the last few weeks because you all know about it already and, frankly, I don't want to think about it or talk about it ever again but let's be real, it sucked... The main reason I decided to pull the plug is that I wanted to take the next few months to focus on things that make me really happy." "It's really important for me to get my head back to where it was when I first started, which was to do this out of a love for makeup, artistry, inspiring people and, most importantly, making people happy," Charles added. "That goal is still there, 100 percent but it has been clouded by other things. I really want to make sure to take some time off and get my head back to where it needs to be." While a mental break is definitely a good move for Charles, it is definitely a costly one. In his Instagram story, he said refunds to the canceled tour will be "automatic" and will begin to be processed after Memorial Day weekend. "There's no need to call or e-mail [the venues,] all the refunds will be fully automatic and you will get them in the next business week," the beauty guru noted. "Keep in mind this is a long weekend, with Memorial Day on Monday, so refunds might not start processing until Tuesday, but I promise if you purchased a ticket you will be getting your money back." Charles first announced his 24-city tour in a YouTube video April 23, saying it was something he had wanted to do when he first started on the social platform. The "Sisters Tour" was scheduled to feature a 90- to 100-minute show, with general admission tickets selling for $59. VIP packages were available, ranging from $100 to $500, with the higher end tickets offering a meet-and-greet with Charles and a "premium goodie bag." The $500 option was described as "extremely limited" by Charles and was not available at every venue. After his initial announcement in a video, fans were quick to question why the prices of tickets were that high. In follow-up tweets, Charles clarified that it is "very expensive to drive across the country with an entire team of tour staff." Following the announcement, fans quickly fired back on social media for the outlandish ticket prices. "A Beyoncé ticket is $250. You're not Beyoncé," wrote one Twitter user. "Are you kidding me tickets are that much?" The day after Westbrook posted her "Bye, Sister" video on YouTube, in which she accused Charles of, among other things, breaking a promise to her by doing a promotion for a hair supplement company that competes with the one owned by Westbrook, Charles disappointed a crowd of fans in Australia, who waited hours for the beauty guru to make a public appearance.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Most Streamed Artist of All Time - Who Dominates the Charts? - Digital Music News Posted: 27 May 2019 05:50 PM PDT
Tracking down the most streamed artist of all time is like finding a needle in a haystack. Between the dozens of different streaming services and lack of transparent reporting, it's hard to nail these numbers down.So let's set some guidelines here. We'll be looking at the most streamed artists on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube over the last few years. Spotify made this easy last year when the music streaming service celebrated its 10th anniversary. The service revealed streaming data over the last ten years, with the likes of Drake and Ed Sheeran topping the lists. Top Artists on Spotify's Global Top 200
Drake is by far Spotify's most streamed artist of all time, though Ed Sheeran is giving the Canadian a run for his numbers. Most Streamed Artist on Spotify By Year
What about Apple Music?Getting data from Apple Music is a little bit more tricky. Apple keeps its official numbers close to its chest, so we only have ranking information here. The service also launched in 2015, so we don't have ten years of data to examine like we do with Spotify. Still, looking at the 2017 and 2018 data paints a pretty good picture of top artists. Top 10 Most Streamed Artists — Apple Music 20171. Drake Top 10 Most Streamed Artists & Albums — Apple Music 20181. Drake — Scorpion Apple chose Drake as its top artist of 2018, with JuiceWRLD as its top break-out artist of 2018. Apple likes to use its data to make clever points, too. Case in point: this year, Apple celebrated International Women's Day by revealing the top female streaming artists of all time. Top 10 Female Streaming Artists — Apple Music1. Ariana Grande Once again, no numbers here, but that's to be expected with Apple Music. In addition to the top streaming female artists, Bad Bunny is the top streaming Latino artist on Apple Music. Singer Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio rose to that point thanks to hosting six episodes of Trap Kingz, the first Spanish-language Beats 1 Radio show. What about YouTube?YouTube's contribution to this list is interesting since it's a free service that everyone in the world can access. While Spotify and Apple Music are freemium/premium services, all of YouTube's content can be experienced without a YouTube Music subscription. That leads to some interesting chart-toppers for the most streamed music videos of all time. Most Streamed Music Videos Of All Time — YouTube(It's worth noting that number five on this list isn't a music video at all. It's a Russian children's cartoon that has taken the world by storm.) 1. Luis Fonsi — 'Despacito featuring Daddy Yankee' | 6.2 billion views Whew, that's quite a bit of discrepancy between YouTube and streaming music services like Spotify and Apple Music. Looking at 'God's Plan' by Drake, it still hasn't crossed 1 billion listens on YouTube despite being over a year old. Some of the songs on the list were also boosted by other events. Wiz Khalifa's 'See You Again' was featured in Furious 7 as a touching tribute to the late Paul Walker.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 26 May 2019 10:34 PM PDT  Pioneers? Netflix On Thursday, comedy trio the Lonely Island—Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone—released a surprise "visual poem," in the tradition of Beyoncé's Lemonade or Fergie's Double Dutchess: Seeing Double: The Visual Experience. Lonely Island's entry in the burgeoning genre, The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience, now streaming on Netflix, is about baseball players Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco, the so-called "Bash Brothers" mentioned in the title. The duo earned the nickname in the summer of 1988 because of both the home runs they were hitting for the Oakland A's and their custom of bashing their forearms together instead of high-fiving. Their story is an epic tragedy: In 2005 Canseco blew Major League Baseball wide open with his memoir Juiced, in which he alleged that he and McGwire had been using steroids. McGwire angrily denied Canseco's claims for five years before finally coming clean in 2010, and the former teammates have never reconciled. The Lonely Island's take on this presents itself as a previously-unreleased rap album from the Bash Brothers recorded at the height of their fame, a framing that plays to their greatest strengths: roasting the Licensed to Ill-era Beastie Boys and making dick jokes. Consider this verse from "Uniform On," ostensibly performed by Mark McGuire:
If there's a better musical distillation of the complicated way professional baseball players of the late 1980s navigated the tension between their fans' expectations, the grueling demands of their sport, and their own ideas of masculinity, I would be extremely surprised. Here's the full video for that song: But although the Lonely Island may be the first group to record songs about the effects of anabolic steroids on Mark McGwire's testicles, they were not the first group to record a novelty song about the Bash Brothers. That honor goes to the marketing department of the Oakland A's and the staff of San Jose television station KICU-TV, who beat them to the bash by 30 years with "The Monster Bash," back in April of 1988. The song, yet another spinoff of Bobby "Boris" Picket's 1962 hit "Monster Mash," was recorded and paired to a music video of baseball highlights in a two-week sprint at the start of the 1988 season, a few months before Canseco and McGwire posed for their famous Bash Brothers poster. It debuted on the Oakland Coliseum's giant Mitsubishi DiamondVision scoreboard on Friday, April 15 of that year, at the top of the second inning of a game between the A's and the Chicago White Sox, the first of a weekend series. The score was 0 to 0 when "The Monster Bash" played, but the White Sox went on to clobber the A's, 11 to 3. That Saturday, "The Monster Bash" soundtracked another White Sox victory; Sunday was the same story, and the song was temporarily retired. But whatever "The Monster Bash" lacked in motivational power, it made up for in "sounding enough like 'Monster Mash' that people immediately got the joke," and it bashed its way onto local radio station playlists that summer, eventually triumphantly returning to the DiamondVision. Then it disappeared from the face of the earth. You won't find the original video on YouTube or the song on a battered cassingle on eBay. It doesn't seem to have ever gotten a commercial release—despite the success of "The Super Bowl Shuffle!"—and for whatever reason the Oakland A's current stadium entertainment doesn't spend a lot of time reminding fans about the team's 'roided-out champions of the 1980s. But there's one place "The Monster Bash" survives, at least in part: in the audio of a TV special called The 1988 Oakland Athletics: A Bashing Success. First aired in April of 1989 (on KICU, naturally), A Bashing Success eventually made its way to VHS and from there, to the internet. Here, then, are some of the last surviving traces of "The Monster Bash," mankind's first crude attempt to chronicle Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire's athletic prowess through the power of novelty songs: It's clear that novelty song technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the ensuing decades. But it's also clear that the old saying, often attributed to Isaac Newton, is true: If the Lonely Island have seen a little further than others, it is only because they have stood on the shoulders of the marketing department of the 1988 Oakland Athletics, who were themselves standing on the shoulders of Bobby "Boris" Pickett, probably without his knowledge. Let's bash!  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
