Shaboozey and Jelly Roll add a second week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated April 4) with “Amen,” which earned 32.1 million audience impressions (down 2%) March 20-26, according to Luminate.

The song marks another multi-week leader for both artists. Shaboozey previously led for more than one frame with both of his previous Country Airplay No. 1s: “Good News” (two weeks, 2025) and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (seven, 2024). Jelly Roll logs his sixth such hit, a run dating to 2023 that also includes “Heart of Stone” (two), “Liar” (six), “I Am Not Okay” (three), “Save Me” (with Lainey Wilson; two) and “Need a Favor” (four). As noted last week, “Amen” became his ninth No. 1 in as many tries, the longest active streak among all acts.
Chart-topping collaborations have made up a relatively small share of Country Airplay’s history (which dates to 1990), with 82 such songs accounting for 141 total weeks at No. 1 — or roughly one in nine leaders overall. Most have been brief stays, as 55 of the 82 ruled for just a single week. Only a handful have shown real staying power, led by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett’s “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” (eight weeks, 2003) and then Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “It’s Your Love” (six, 1997). “Amen” is, thus, just the 27th co-billed release to have ruled for more than a week.
A ‘Change’ in the Top 10
Riley Green notches his eighth Country Airplay top 10 as “Change My Mind” rises 13-10 in its 13th week on 17.1 million audience impressions (up 9%). His last three singles, since 2024, made it to No. 1 (upping his career total to four leaders): “Don’t Mind If I Do” and “You Look Like You Love Me,” both with Ella Langley, and “Worst Way.”
From career milestones to new music releases to major announcements and those little important moments, Billboard editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.
CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso Usher in Wellness Session, Channel ‘Free Spirits’ in NYC
It’s not every day you see a conga line break out at a concert, much less one led by two musicians who seem like they fell out of a fever dream. But that’s exactly how the night climaxed on Friday (March 27) when the uncanny Argentine duo CA7RIEL y Paco Amoroso took over Canvas on 10th in Chelsea, New York to perform their electrifying new album, Free Spirits, for the first time. It was chaotic. It was cathartic. It was everything — and somehow even more.
Presented by Spotify, the event welcomed 200 fans lucky enough to snag a spot in the intimate venue. The evening kicked off with a low-lit, wellness-inspired setup — there was a sound bath meant to “cleanse energy,” a station for aura photography with glowing polaroids, and juice options that felt exported straight from Erewhon (beet, green, and some mysterious orange concoction that probably had turmeric in it). Everyone sipped, meditated, reset — and then CA7RIEL and Paco tore the cover off the chill and delivered a high-octane performance that will not soon be forgotten.
Paco, decked in runner’s gear — spandex and a lightweight vest — looked marathon-ready with a touch of intentional absurdity, while CA7RIEL flaunted his rock-star bravado in a bleached mullet, oversized sleeveless tee, tattood arms and retro ’70s sunglasses. Together, they were pure chaos and charisma, their vibe as irreverent as their music.
Backed by their band, they opened with the explosive energy of “Nada Nuevo,” followed by Paco’s raspy vocals on the absurdist “Goo Goo Ga Ga” and the euphoric pop-rock hooks of “Soy Increíble” — which had the crowd in overdrive. By “Hasta Jesús Tuvo Un Mal Día,” the Sting-assisted fan favorite, the room was in a frenzy. CA7RIEL’s blistering Fender guitar riffs added a raw edge to tracks like “Ay Ay Ay” — he also pulled out a ’70s Gibson. In true Free Spirits style, the duo jumped into the crowd, leading an impromptu conga line before they started crowd surfing. Unhinged and fearless, the show embodied the album’s spirit. If you missed it, well… even Jesus had a bad day.
Karol G Shares Emotional Duet with Alicia Keys
Karol G experienced a dream-come-true moment alongside Alicia Keys at her Con Cora Foundation’s Benefit Gala in Miami on March 20. The two powerhouse singers performed “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart,” the same song Karol covered 16 years ago as a fan. Sharing their emotional duet on Instagram on Wednesday (March 25), Keys wrote, “When I found out how much this song meant to her, it was sooooo sweet!” Meanwhile, Karol expressed, I’ve spent my whole life preparing to experience moments that used to seem like nothing more than dreams in my head, and today, after all this time, they’ve come true! I watch this video and the one from 16 years ago, and I can’t believe it.” Watch their duet below.

Bad Bunny’s new Adidas sneaker collaboration is one fans have been itching for.
The market for the “NUEVAYoL” singer’s footwear collaboration is insane, with his past Adidas silhouettes selling out mere minutes post-release. We’re willing to bet that this new BADBO 1.0 model is going to be a hit as well, because it expands upon his collaborative line by introducing a versatile colorway not previously seen before. The shoe retails for $160 and dropped Saturday (March 28). It is available to shop on the Adidas website now.
Like his first Adidas BADBO 1.0, this style is chunky and high-top-esque. Departing from the monochrome colorscheme, this shoe comes in black and beige, a stylish and wearable option with pops of blue throughout. The shoe features textural suede paneling, an EVA midsole that makes the soles flexible and cushioned, and a unique translucent rubber outsole.
Bad Bunny x Adidas BADBO 1.0
A new Adidas footwear collaboration with Bad Bunny. The style features suede panelling and a black, white and taupe color scheme.
Harkening back to the musician’s Puerto Rican roots is the BadBo signature logo — a star affixed to each heel — drawing direct inspiration from the Puerto Rican flag. According to Adidas, the design choice “symbolizes origin, joy and the limitless possibilities that come from staying true to where you’re from.”
Along with the shoe drop, Adidas and Bad Bunny also collaborated on an accompanying BadBo apparel capsule that includes pieces such as track jackets, sweatshirts, sweatsuits, hats and more, all inspired by Benito’s personal style. Our favorite has to be the comfy sweatsuit, which offers the perfect mix of style and function. Like the shoes, the apparel collection went live on March 28.
Bad Bunny Heavy Crew Neck & Hooded Balaclava Sweatshirt
This is a gray crew neck sweatshirt with Adidas’ three-striped detailing throughout. The hoodie has a unique handkerchief construction on the front.
Bad Bunny Tapered Heavy Sweat Pant
These are gray slouchy sweatpants with Adidas’ iconic three stripes on the sides. The pants have a drawstring closure and a comfy composition.
The first iteration of the Adidas BadBo 1.0, a cream color scheme with pops of blue, sold out in the blink of an eye. Resellers on Farfetch, Stadium Goods, Fight Club and Goat have the shoe marked up for up to $230, a hefty jump in price from its original listing of $160. Bad Bunny wore these shoes during his 2026 Super Bowl performance, reigniting the hype around the style.
The duo first partnered up in March 2021 with an inaugural launch of The First Cafe, a coffee-inspired Adidas Forum Buckle Low. Since then, the two have come together on numerous occasions to give fans and followers styles all inspired by Bad Bunny’s style, music and swagger, including the Adidas AdiRacer GT, Adidas Forum Powerphase and, our personal favorite, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor.
Maná’s Vivir Sin Aire Tour, which kicked off summer 2025 in Spain, continues on the second part of its North American leg, officially making its way to Miami.

Nearly 20,000 fans — mainly Gen X and Millennials — filled the Kaseya Center for the first of two sold-out nights in Miami on Friday (March 27), and at 9:40 p.m., the Mexican group opened the show with the energetic “Déjame Entrar,” part of its 1995 Cuando Los Ángeles Lloran album.
They continued with “De Pies a Cabeza,” “Manda Una Señal,” and “Labios Compartidos,” before frontman Fher Olvera greeted his ecstatic fans: “Welcome, everyone. Cubans, Puerto Ricans… I know you guys know how to dance. Let’s get this pinche party started tonight.”
Wearing a satin navy blue buttoned-up shirt over a black tee with a studded cross, black leather pants, and combat boots, Fher continued crooning the crowd with timeless bangers, including “Mariposa Traicionera,” “Me Vale,” “Clavado en un Bar” and “Se Me Olvidó Otra Vez.”
“Let’s raise a glass to Miami — we’ve missed you. It’s the cradle of the United States,” the singer expressed before taking a shot of tequila. One of the notable moments of the show then followed with an insane, nearly 10-minute drum solo by Alex González, who’s a Miami native.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group, including Sergio Vallín and Juan Calleros, joined Fher on a separate stage on the other side of the venue for an intimate set of “canciones de cantinas” (songs for the bar). “Te Lloré un Río,” “El Reloj Cucú,” “Eres Mi Religion” and “Bendita Tu Luz” had the crowd singing at the top of their lungs.
“We are a beacon of hope… Latinos have the power,” Fher — who’s an avid activist for Latino rights — told the audience. “More and more, Latinos are commanding greater respect and have more options. Who you vote for has a great deal to do with this… you can make the change.”
The evening came to an end at midnight, after the band delighted fans with four more pop-rock classics: “No Ha Parado de Llover,” “El Muelle de San Blas,” “Rayando el Sol” and “Oye Mi Amor.”
Maná’s Vivir Sin Aire tour will continue in the United States until Nov. 8. See the remaining dates below:
Friday night (March 27) may have officially been billed as Paul McCartney Rocks the Fonda!, but it could have just as easily been called Paul McCartney Makes Everything Better!
Even if it was just for a little while (one hour and 40 minutes to be exact), it felt like the former Beatle made all the world’s troubles disappear within the tiny confines of the Fonda, where he is playing two nights to celebrate the 100th birthday of the 1,100-capacity Hollywood club.
The set was a truncated version of the 2025 Got Back tour, even down to the same song order, slimmed down from 33 songs to a tight 21.
McCartney, dressed in a casual black suit with a vest, took the stage at 8:30 p.m., looking delighted to be back even though it had only been four months since the North American tour ended. What followed was a trip back in time, with the spry, robust McCartney serving as the congenial master of ceremonies, surrounded by elite musicians who have now played with him longer than his bandmates in either The Beatles or Wings: keyboardist Paul “Wix” Wickens, lead guitarist Rusty Anderson, drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. and guitarist/bassist Brian Ray. They are a ridiculously tight unit, but, just as importantly, a fun, infectiously exuberant one.
As McCartney, 83, touched on almost every corner of his musical career, he seemingly delighted in playing such a small venue, joking it was “good to see the whites of your eyes” to the audience. He convivially bantered with the first few rows, including giving a shoutout to fan attending his 146th show (though semi-joked his loyalty was a “bit obsessive”), and good-naturedly shut down a loud balcony attendee getting a little too boisterous. He also namechecked another balcony dweller, Morgan Neville, who directed the excellent new documentary about McCartney’s time in Wings, Man on the Run).
McCartney was loose throughout the show, breaking into short stories (including a humorous Tony Bennett anecdote) and genuinely seeming to enjoy the audience as much as they enjoyed him. He cracked himself and the audience up when he botched the words to the first verse of “Blackbird,” stopping himself and starting over (he sang “take these sunken eyes” instead of “take these broken wings”) As chatty as he was, he never referenced any current-day events, which greatly contributed to the warm, safe feeling of being in a hermetically sealed time capsule.
But the focus was on the music, and the music soared throughout much of the night. McCartney’s band may be a five piece (with the occasional welcome addition of the three-piece Hot City Horns), but they sound fuller than a configuration at least twice that size, especially when they are locked into a solid, propulsive groove on such songs as “Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five,” “Lady Madonna” and “Get Back.”
On Thursday (March 28), McCartney released a new song, the tenderly nostalgic “Days We Left Behind,” which is featured on his forthcoming 18th solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane — but the tune went left undone at the show, with McCartney saying they were still learning how to play it. Instead, he opted to play two songs from solo albums not featured during the Got Back tour and ones that are seldom trotted out: “Every Night” and “Flaming Pie.”
The no-phones policy and no-frills production (there was no projection of any kind, just a few overhead lighting trusses) allowed the audience to be as in the moment as the band and a communal feeling of peace and joy felt like it spread from the stage all the way through the rear of the balcony, especially on late-show singalongs/anthems “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude.”
McCartney and band returned for his standard encore, closing with Abbey Road’s monumental medley of “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End.” The words are so familiar now, but still ring true like a beautiful benediction, as he sent the audience out into the night with “the love you take is equal to the love you make” echoing in their ears.
Below are all the songs McCartney performed on the first night of his two-night Fonda stand.
