Bad Bunny Strips Down to His Underwear in Steamy New Calvin Klein Campaign

Posted on March 17, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is stripping things down…

The 31-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar has teamed up with Calvin Klein for the brand’s steamy spring campaign.

Calvin Klein described the campaign as “iconic from every angle” in the caption accompanying photos of the “Baile Inolvidable” hitmaker modeling the brand’s new Icon Cotton Stretch Boxer Briefs, which feature an “innovated smooth, stitch-free waistband,” they write in the description.

The images were captured by renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti.

In one shot, Benito strips down to black briefs, giving fans a closer look at his tattoos, including a horse on his chest, the year “1994” marking his birth, the sad heart from his Un Verano Sin Ti album cover and a bunny racing away on his arm.

Another image captures him in white underwear against a three-way mirror, showcasing his toned physique and rock-hard abs from multiple angles.

Bad Bunny’s latest collaboration with Calvin Klein is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the star’s busy schedule.

The “Tití Me Preguntó” singer is gearing up for a highly anticipated residency in Puerto Rico, set to take place later this summer at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot (a.k.a. El Choli) from July 11 to September 14.

The residency will be in support of his latest No. 1 Billboard 200-charting album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos — and judging by his Calvin Klein campaign, it seems he has taken that sentiment to heart, capturing moments that showcase his undeniable star power from every angle.

Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” Claims Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

Posted on January 26, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is still a man on top…

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos earns a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated February 1, earning 151,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending January 23 (down 26%), according to Luminate.

Of the 151,000 equivalent album units earned by Debí Tirar Más Fotos in the week ending January 23, SEA units comprise 146,000 (down 25%; equaling 198.78 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it’s No. 1 for a third week on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 4,000 (down 46%; falling 8-11 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 30%).

Of Bad Bunny’s four chart-topping albums, it’s the second to spend more than a single week at No. 1; his 2022 set, Un Verano Sin Ti, has collected the most weeks atop the list, with 13 weeks, non-consecutively.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” Rises to No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

Posted on January 19, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny has reached the summit once again…

Following its first full week of activity, the 30-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos climbs 2-1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart dated January 25, scoring Bad Bunny his fourth leader on the list.

Bad Bunny’s album was released on an off-cycle Sunday (Jan. 5), and, thus, it arrived on the chart a week ago with only five days of activity (as the chart’s tracking week runs Friday through Thursday).

In the tracking week ending January 16, Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 203,500 equivalent album units (up 67%) in the U.S., according to Luminate — largely driven by streaming activity.

The set was only available as a standard 17-song streaming album, and as a digital download for purchase (widely through all digital retailers, as well as Bad Bunny’s official webstore). Traditional album sales drove just under 8,000 of the album’s activity for the week.

Bad Bunny previously led the Billboard 200 with Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (in 2023), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020)

Of Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ 203,500 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Jan. 16, SEA units comprise 195,000 (up 72%, equaling 264.03 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a second week), traditional album sales comprise 7,500 (down 3%, falling 6-8 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (up 123%).

The 264.03 million streams of the album’s songs mark the largest streaming week for any album since Kendrick Lamar’s GNX arrived with 379.72 million (Dec. 7, 2024 chart), and the largest for any Latin music album since Bad Bunny’s own Un Verano Sin Ti debuted with 356.55 million (May 21, 2022 chart).

Like in its opening chart week, Debí Tirar Más Fotos was sale priced for $4.99 in the iTunes Store, as well as in Bunny’s webstore.

As Debí Tirar Más Fotos is mostly in the Spanish language, it is the 28th mostly non-English-language album to hit No. 1, and the first of 2025. Four mostly non-English titles topped the list in 2024, and all were Korean-language efforts. Of the 28 mostly non-English-language albums to reach No. 1, 18 are mostly Korean, six mostly (or all) Spanish, one mostly Italian, one entirely French and two mostly a blend of Spanish, Italian and French.

Bad Bunny Highlights Puerto Rico’s Post-Hurricane Maria Struggles in New Single “Una Velita”

Posted on September 19, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is shining a light on Puerto Rico’s struggles with an impactful new single.

The track not only comes on the heels of Hurricane Maria’s seventh anniversary, but also during election season, which he has been vocal about, using his social media platforms to encourage his millions of followers to make sure they’re registered to vote.

“Obviously the light will go out, God knows if it’ll come back,” he continues singing in Spanish over a riveting folkloric beat that grows with intensity, matching the song’s urgency.

“The bridge they took so long to build, the growing river will break. A few songs on the phone for when the reception goes out. The sign was sent and they don’t want to see it, it’s up to the Boricua to want to wake up … Remember that we’re all from here, the people will have to save its pueblo.”

It’s not the first time that Bad Bunny has used his music to shed light on topics that are important to him and the Puerto Rican community.

In 2022, he released a nearly 23-minute-long documentary for his blunt track “El Apagón” from his blockbuster album Un Verano Sin Ti, in which the chart-topping artist addresses blackouts and gentrification, among other topics, taking aim at the local government for its inaction when it comes to these social issues.

Bad Bunny to Serve as Presenter at This Year’s Academy Awards

Posted on February 29, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny has a date with Oscar…

The 29-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar has been added to the list of presenters for this year’s Academy Awards show.

But the “Monaco” singer is not the only Puerto Rican artist set to take the stage.

West Side Story star Rita Moreno, an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony Award) winner, will also serve as a presenter.

Bad Bunny and Moreno are among the list of recently added presenters for the March 10th Oscars telecast that includes Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Keaton, Regina King, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate McKinnon, John Mulaney, Catherine O’Hara, Octavia Spencer and Ramy Youssef.

Moreno won an Oscar in 1962 for West Side Story. In 1977, she became the first Latina (and just the third person overall) to complete the EGOT.

In 2022, Bad Bunny made history when Un Verano Sin Ti became the first Spanish-language album to top Billboard’s year-end chart and to receive a Grammy nod for album of the year. His acting credits include Bullet Train, Narcos: Mexico and Cassandro,

Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced that another popular Latin star, Becky G, would perform the nominated “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot on the telecast.

Previously announced Oscars presenters are Mahershala Ali, Nicolas Cage, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Fraser, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Lupita Nyong’o, Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ke Huy Quan, Sam Rockwell, Michelle Yeoh and Zendaya.

The 96th Oscars will air live on ABC and broadcast to outlets worldwide on Sunday, March 10, at the new, earlier time of 7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT.

Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the show for the fourth time. It will be held at its usual home, the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.

Raj Kapoor is executive producer and showrunner for the 2024 Oscars. Molly McNearney and Katy Mullan are also executive producers. Hamish Hamilton is directing. Rickey Minor is music director.

Bad Bunny Repeats as Billboard’s Top Latin Artist of the Year for Fifth Consecutive Year

Posted on November 26, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

It’s a sweet repeat for Bad Bunny…

The 29-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar has repeated as Billboard’s Top Latin Artist of the Year for a record fifth consecutive year.

No other artist has been the year-end Top Latin Artist five times since the category began in 2011. Only one other artist has pulled a back-to-back winning streak since the category launched in 2011: Romeo Santos, who took home the first-place trophy in 2014 and 2015.

Unsurprisingly, Bad Bunny also echoes his past four years of achievements on the albums front: Thanks to Un Verano Sin Ti’s stronghold, the album wraps at No. 1 on the year-end Top Latin Albums chart for a second consecutive year.

Adding to his blockbuster year — with seven awards at the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards, including Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year and Global 200 Latin Artist of the Year — Benito also boasts four songs on the year-end Hot Latin Songs rundown, including “Un X100to” with Grupo Frontera at No. 3. His first foray into Regional Mexican music became the second Regional Mexican track to break the weekly top 10 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from November 19, 2022, through October 21, 2023. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the November-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.

Bad Bunny Appears as The Nosferatu in New “Baticano” Music Video

Posted on November 1, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Bad Bunny is having a fangtastic time…

The 29-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar gets his creep on in the just-released music video for “Baticano,” a single off his third and latest No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.

Bad Bunny appears as the iconic vampire, The Nosferatu, in the clip.

Directed by Stillz, the music video has all the angles, shadows and hallmarks of the 1922 version of Nosferatu, a benchmark in German Expressionism filmmaking.

Steve Buscemi plays the father figure/mad scientist, who tells the pointy-eared creature, “they’re not ready for you in this world. But you are beautiful. Remember that. You are too perfect for this world.”

Bad Bunny is following in some mighty footsteps. Max Schreck’s performance in that early film was so compelling, Willem Dafoe reprised the role for 2000’s Shadow of the Vampire, which posited that, just maybe, Schreck was an actual garlic-hating, sunshine-avoiding vampire. Werner Herzog helmed the 1979 remake of Nosferatu the Vampyre, with Klaus Kinski, in the lead role, creepier than a box of spiders. Robert Eggers directs an update on the blood-sucking count, due out in 2024.

All 21 songs from Bad Bunny’s new album went on to enter the Billboard Hot 100, including “Baticano,” which bowed at No. 78 last month. It’s his fifth solo studio album, following last year’s blockbuster Un Verano Sin Ti. His 2022 album spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard 200 albums chart and topped the year-end Billboard 200 as well — the first Spanish-language album to do so.

Following its release, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana was confirmed by Spotify as the platform’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far.

Bad Bunny Earns Third No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart with “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana”

Posted on October 22, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Make that three in a row for Bad Bunny…

The 29-year-old Puerto Rican Grammy-winning superstar has claimed his third No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated October 28, as Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana debuts at the top of the album charts.

The set earned 184,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending October 19, according to Luminate. Almost all of the album’s opening week was driven by streaming activity of its songs. The release of Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana was announced on October 9 and released October 13.

Of Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana’s 184,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending October 19, SEA units comprise 176,000 (making it the most streamed album of the week, equaling 239.56 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 7,500 (it was only available to purchase as a digital download album) and TEA units comprise 500.

Bad Bunny previously led the Billboard 200 with Un Verano Sin Ti (for 13 nonconsecutive weeks in 2022) and El Ultimo Tour del Mundo (one week in 2020).

As the Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana album is essentially all-Spanish, it’s the 21st mostly non-English language album to hit No. 1, and the fourth all-Spanish album to reach No. 1.

Bad Bunny has three of the four all-Spanish No. 1s, while Karol G has the fourth (Mañana Será Bonito, this March).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Bad Bunny Announces Plans to Release New Album “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana” This Week

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Nobody may know what’s happening tomorrow, but Bad Bunny has an idea what will happen this Friday.

The 29-year-old Puerto Rican superstar has released a special teaser video to announce that he’ll release his next album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, this Friday, October 13.

The announcement comes only two weeks after releasing his record-extending reggaeton single “Un Preview” — and telling his more than 15 million followers on his WhatsApp Channel that “this is possibly the last song I release this year. It’s a little preview of what’s to come next year”.

But on Monday, October 9, the “Yo Perreo Sola” singer told his nearly 50 million Instagram followers that “el día más esperado por muchos ya llegó…”

In the video, Bad Bunny is seen swarmed by paparazzi before entering a fancy restaurant and being greeted by a gentleman who says, “Don Benito, it’s so nice to see you.”

Bad Bunny, looking dapper in a black suit, white sunglasses and showing off his newly shaved head, smiles and shakes his hand, before the album title and date are revealed.

The global star — who won seven 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards including artist of the year last week— first teased fans on his X account on Sunday (October 8), revealing that 22 tracks are on the set. Next to each number is the word

“Fuego,” hinting that each song is fire. This was the same strategy he used in May 2022 ahead of his Un Verano Sin Ti album release, when each number had the word “PALO” next to it, which loosely translated to “hit.”

The set will come out this Friday, Oct. 13. Fans can already pre-save the album here.

Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana marks Bad Bunny’s fifth solo studio album.

He previously released X100PRE (2018), YHLQMDLG (2020), El Último Tour Del Mundo (2020), Un Verano Sin Ti (2022). He also previously released a joint album with J Balvin, Oasis in 2019.
