The Kid Mero is on a Hot streak…

The 42-year-old Dominican-American writer, comedian, television host, actor and internet personality, whose real name is Joel Armogasto Martinez, will be hosting the morning show at New York City’s Hot 97 following Ebro in the Morning‘s dismissal in December.

The Kid MeroMero won’t be wasting any time as Mornings With Mero is set to debut on Tuesday, January 13.

The morning show will be Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. ET to 10 a.m. ET going forward.

“I will be with y’all faithfully every Monday through Friday from six to 10, you know what I mean. The most consistent voice in your life,” Mero said in the announcement clip. “More consistent than your parents, which is crazy to say as a radio host because you might have good parents, but if you got bad parents, I’m your daddy now. Mornings With Mero, baby, lock in.”

Mero added in a press statement: “Hot 97 is the station — it’s been the voice of NYC hip-hop and culture for decades. I grew up listening to Hot 97, so to get the morning slot here isn’t just a job—it’s a responsibility to continue that legacy while bringing it into this next era of media. We’re gonna laugh, we’re gonna get into it, but it’s always gonna be real, and a real good time!”

Funk Flex lent his stamp of approval in the comment section. “We all family! We rolling,” he wrote. NBA Hall-of-Famer Carmelo Anthony, Nems and Cousin Stizz also saluted the move.

Mero saw his profile rise while co-hosting Desus & Mero from 2016 through 2022, when the comedic duo split. Mero is currently a co-host of the 7PM in Brooklyn show with NBA legend Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide.

“Hot 97 has always been about representing the culture of New York, and Mero is New York,”said Kudjo Sogadzi, evp of content & growth at MediaCo. “He’s authentic, hilarious, fearless, and deeply connected to the community. Hot 97 Mornings with Mero is going to set the tone for the city every morning and create must-listen moments for our audience.”

Ebro in the Morning came to a close in December after 13 years on the Hot 97 airwaves. Ebro Darden led the program alongside co-hosts Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez.

After Mero, DJ Drewski will be on the air from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by Nessa from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and then Funk Flex will take over for the 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift.

Tommy Castellanos Declares for the NFL Draft

Thomas (Tommy) Castellanos is ready for the big leagues…

The 22-year-old Afro-Cuban American college football quarterback for Florida State University has declared for the National Football League (NFL) draft after dropping his appeal for another year of college eligibility.

Tommy Castellanos

Castellanos thanked family, friends, coaches and teammates and “everyone who has supported me along this journey” in a statement posted on social media.

Just Win Management Group, which represented Castellanos during his legal fight, said it supported his decision.

“While the unique facts and circumstances surrounding the petition for an additional year of eligibility did create a path of viability, after careful review and consideration, we fully support Mr. Castellanos’ decision to forego that continued pursuit and focus his attention on preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft,” the agency said in a statement.

The NCAA initially denied Castellanos’ waiver request for a fifth season.

Castellanos, who transferred to Florida State last December after one year at Central Florida and two at Boston College, argued that college football’s sanctioning body should grant him another season because he played in only five games with the Knights in 2022.

Castellanos played against Tulane in the American Athletic Conference title game after starter John Rhys Plumlee aggravated a hamstring injury. Backup Mikey Keene opted out of the game because he wanted to preserve a year of eligibility before entering the transfer portal.

It’s moot now, with the 5-foot-11 Castellanos turning his attention toward preparing for the draft.

Castellanos completed 58.3% of his passes for 2,760 yards this season, with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also led the Seminoles (5-7) with 557 yards rushing and nine scores.

Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You, ” is extending its record on Billboard’s Billboard Global 200, rebounding a spot to the summit for the 20th time.

The 56-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer’s 1994 modern classic widens its lead over HUNTR/X’s “Golden” and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” each in second place with 18 weeks on top, for the longest command since the chart began in September 2020.

Mariah Carey

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” tops the Global 200 with 101.6 million streams (up 8% week-over-week) and 7,000 sold (up 2%) worldwide in the week ending December 18.

The Billboard Global 200 ranks songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

Bad Bunny is inching closer to another Latin music record…

After securing his record-extending seventh consecutive win atop Billboard’s year-end top Latin Artist of the year in 2025, the 31-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar is thisclose to another record.

Bad Bunny

His hit “DTMF” logs its 41st week at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart dated December 27, tying for the second-most weeks at No. 1 with Enrique Iglesias’ “Bailando” (featuring Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona), which concluded its 41-week streak atop the chart in February 2015.

The songs trail only Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” (featuring Justin Bieber), which continues to lead with 56 weeks at No. 1.

The Hot Latin Songs chart launched in 1986.

“DTMF,” the fourth single from Benito’s album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, banks its 41st week at the summit on Hot Latin Songs fueled by 6 million official U.S. streams and 2.6 million in radio airplay audience during the December 12-18 tracking week, as reported by Luminate.

It’s the second song from the album to have achieved the No. 1 slot, following “Nuevayol” (one week in January), which sits at No. 5.

Additionally, two other tracks hold strong on the chart’s top 10: “Baile Inolvidable” at No. 3 and “EOO” at No. 4.

In the 39-year history of the Hot Latin Songs chart, 11 songs have logged 20 or more weeks at No. 1. Among those artists with more than one track achieving the feat are Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Iglesias.

 

Here are the longest-leading No. 1s on Hot Latin Songs since its inception:

Mariah Carey has 100 reasons to smile…

The 56-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” adds a record-extending 21st week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mariah Carey

Carey claims her unprecedented and milestone 100th career week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, having accumulated her haul over 19 leaders, dating to her first, “Vision of Love,” in 1990.

Rihanna ranks second with 60 weeks at No. 1, followed by The Beatles (59) and Drake (56).

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” secures another notable record as it logs its 78th week on the Hot 100, surpassing Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” as the longest-charted title ever by a woman artist.

Two weeks earlier, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” returned to No. 1 on the Hot 100 to lead in a record-extending seventh holiday season.

It arrived on Carey’s album Merry Christmas in November 1994 and, as streaming grew and holiday music became more prominent on streaming services’ playlists, it first hit the top 10 in December 2017 and the top five in the 2018 holiday season.

It led at last, prior to its three weeks this season, over the holidays in 2019 (for three weeks), 2020 (two), 2021 (three), 2022 (four), 2023 (two) and 2024 (four). (Older holiday songs are eligible to appear on the chart each season.)

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You,” on Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings, drew 43.6 million streams (up 10%) and 28 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 24%) and sold 3,000 downloads (up 1%) in the U.S. December 12-18, according to Luminate.

The single holds for a record-extending 25th week atop the Streaming Songs chart; dashes 23-15 on Radio Songs, where it has hit a No. 7 best; and stays at No. 5 on Digital Song Sales, following six weeks on top.

Here’s a rundown of all of Carey’s Hot 100 No. 1s and their weeks spent at the summit:

21, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (2019-25)
16, “One Sweet Day,” with Boyz II Men (1995-96)
14, “We Belong Together” (2005)

2, “Someday” (1991)
1, “Thank God I Found You,” feat. Joe & 98 Degrees (2000)

Longest-Charted Hot 100 Hits by Women (in lead roles):
78 weeks, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey (No. 1 peak for 21 weeks, 2019-25)
77, “Levitating,” Dua Lipa (No. 2, 2021)
72, “Wildflower,” Billie Eilish (No. 17, 2024)
69, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” Brenda Lee (No. 1, three weeks, 2023-24)
69, “How Do I Live,” LeAnn Rimes (No. 2, 1997)

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” concurrently tops Billboard’s multimetric Holiday 100 chart for a 70th week, of the chart’s 78 total weeks since the survey originated in 2011.

It leads the Holiday Streaming Songs, Holiday Airplay and Holiday Digital Song Sales charts concurrently for the first time this season, and triples up as the top Yuletide title in all three metrics simultaneously for a record 28th time. Since the three charts began coexisting in December 2013, no other song has led them all at the same time even once.

Mariah Carey Rises to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart with “In Your Feelings”

Mariah Carey is all in her feelings after earning another chart-topper…

The 56-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer’s 2025 single “In Your Feelings” rises from the runner-up spot to crown Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart dated December 27.

Mariah Carey

The track, released and promoted through MARIAH/gamma., ascends as the most-played on U.S. panel-contributing adult R&B radio stations for December 12-18, according to Luminate.

It improved 19% in plays compared to the previous week and wins the Greatest Gainer honor for the list’s largest increase.

With “In Your Feelings,” Carey celebrates a fourth Adult R&B Airplay No. 1. She first claimed the summit via “We Belong Together,” which stitched an eight-week rule in 2005, and followed with six-week champ “Fly Like a Bird” the following year.

After that pair, she closed a 19-year gap between leaders when “Type Dangerous” scored three weeks in charge this August. (She first topped many Billboard tallies when her debut, “Vision of Love,” led the Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts dated August 4, 1990.)

“We Belong Together” and “Fly Like a Bird” are from Carey’s 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi, while “Type Dangerous” and “In Your Feelings” appear on her latest project, Here for It All.

The set was released in September and debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart.

Plus, as Carey had two other Adult R&B Airplay hits — “Shake It Off” (No. 6) and “Don’t Forget About Us” (No. 12) — in between the “We Belong Together” and “Fly Like a Bird” coronations, the “Type Dangerous”/“In Your Feelings” combo marks her first linking of consecutive leaders on the list.

Elsewhere, “In Your Feelings” pushes 17-12 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs from combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio stations. There, it improved to 5.5 million in audience, up 21% from the prior week’s total, and captures the chart’s Greatest Gainer prize.
