Mars Receives Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards

Posted on March 7, 2017 by Tom Castaneda

Bruno Mars is a transformer…

The 31-year-old part-Puerto Rican singer-songwriter picked up the Innovator Award at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards.

But for Mars, who continues to make waves with his musical endeavors, including his latest album 24K Magic, the best is yet to come.

“Innovator is a very heavy word,” said Mars in his acceptance speech. “It’s a little ironic because I genuinely feel like I’m just getting started.”

But Mars wasn’t the only Latino artist to take home a trophy (or two)…

Ally Brooke Hernandez, Lauren Jauregui and their fellow Fifth Harmony members, including recently departed member Camila Cabello, claimed three awards.

For the second straight year, the all-girl group took home the Best Cover Song award. Last year, they won the award for their cover of Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk;” this year they won for their performance of Elle King’s
“Ex’s and Oh’s.”

Additionally, Fifth Harmony won for Best Music Video for their “Work From Home” clip featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and Best Fan Army for their Harmonizers.

Other winners include J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Joss Favela, Robert Trujillo and his fellow Metallica bandmates, CNCO, Calibre 50, Los Plebes Del Rancho De Ariel Camacho and Banda Sinaloense MS de Sergio Lizárraga.

Cabello Reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Songs Chart with “Bad Things”

Posted on February 7, 2017 by Tom Castaneda

It’s a special first for Camila Cabello…

The 19-year-old Cuban American singer and former Fifth Harmony member and Machine Gun Kelly have reached the summit on Billboard‘s Pop Songs radio airplay chart with “Bad Things.”

Cabello and Machine Gun Kelley’s collaboration climbs 2-1 on the list dated February 18.

Cabello reigns in her second visit as a soloist. A year ago, she reached No. 10 with Shawn Mendes on “I Know What You Did Last Summer.“

As a member of Fifth Harmony (from 2012 until this past December), Cabello charted seven Pop Songs entries, including “Work From Home” (featuring Ty Dolla $ign), which led for two weeks in June 2016.

Cabello, thus, joins an elite troop of artists who’ve topped Pop Songs (which launched in 1992) both as a soloist and as part of a group.

Here’s Cabello’s fellow group-to-solo successes below.

Justin Timberlake (eight Pop Songs No. 1s) / *NSYNC (two)
Beyonce (six) and Kelly Rowland (one) / Destiny’s Child (two)
Adam Levine (two) / Maroon 5 (nine)
Gwen Stefani (two) / No Doubt (three)
Fergie (one) / The Black Eyed Peas (three)
Wyclef Jean (one) / Fugees (one)
Nate Ruess (one) / fun. (one)
Rob Thomas (one) / matchbox twenty (one)

Also for “Bad Things” on Pop Songs: It reigns more than 17 years after the song that originally provided its chorus hit No. 8 on the chart: Fastball‘s “Out of My Head.”

Fifth Harmony Earns a Spot on Spotify’s 25 Under 25 List

Posted on October 30, 2016 by Tom Castaneda

Ally Brooke Hernandez, Lauren Jauregui and Camila Cabello are streaming sensations…

Spotify revealed its annual 25 Under 25 list, with the Latina singers and their fellow Fifth Harmony members coming in as the highest-ranking Latin artist/act on the roster.

The all-girl group ranks No. 8 on Spotify’s 25 Under 25 chart, with more than 16 million Spotify listeners stream Fifth Harmony’s singles each month. “Work From Home” has racked up more than half a billion listens and was playlist staple over the summer in the U.S. and UK, and current track “All In My Head (Flex),” featuring Fetty Wap, has made a strong impact since its release.

To determine the list, music experts at Spotify looked at a variety of factors such as the number of people listening to an artist each month on Spotify—which has more than 25 million listeners each month, as well artists with songs featured in Spotify’s top playlists and top-performing artists by genre.

“With so many young listeners on Spotify, it’s always fascinating to hone in on the peer artists they’re listening to and looking up to,” said Shanon Cook, Spotify’s digital trends expert in a statement.

Meanwhile, Maluma is the highest-ranking Latino on the list. The Colombian artist comes in at No. 12.

Maluma is one of the first artists featured on Spotify’s now-popular “Baila Reggaeton” playlist when it debuted three years ago. His hit song, “Borro Casette,” has been featured in “Baila Reggaeton” for a solid year. With more than 6 million monthly listeners, as well as collaborations with Ricky Martin and Shakira, Maluma has earned bragging rights as the world’s top urban Latin artist.

In addition, there are a couple of Latina mainstays on the list. Selena Gomez comes in at No. 18, while Demi Lovato makes the roster at No. 22.

Here’s Spotify’s 25 Under 25 list:

25. Daya
24. Cheat Codes
23. Rae Sremmurd
22. Demi Lovato
21. Nothing But Thieves
20. Halsey
19. Glass Animals
18. Selena Gomez

Fifth Harmony Delays Release of “7/27” by a Week

Posted on April 23, 2016 by Tom Castaneda

Camila Cabello, Ally Brooke Hernandez and Lauren Jauregui are making you wait a week…

The Latina singers and their fellow Fifth Harmony members took to Twitter on Friday to announce that their forthcoming album 7/27 will now be released on May 27, one week later than originally planned.

“The number 27, as you guys have already probably figured out, is quite important to us. It means a lot of different things,” Jauregui says in the video. “And so to keep cohesive with the theme of 27, we have decided to push it one week to the 27th. One week will be nothing.”

Fifth Harmony released their debut album Reflection in 2015, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The all-girl group’s latest single, “Work From Home,” the first single from 7/27, is Fifth Harmony’s first song to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Fifth Harmony Earns Its First Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 Single with “Work From Home”

Posted on April 5, 2016 by Tom Castaneda

Ally Brooke Hernandez, Camila Cabello and Lauren Jauregui have worked their way to a special milestone.

The Latina singers and their fellow Fifth Harmony bandmates have achieved their first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Work From Home,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign.

The song, the debut single from the all-girl group’s upcoming album 7/27, moved up 12-10 on the chart dated April 16

With the advance, the quintet passes its prior best rank, first set when “Worth It,” featuring Kid Ink, reached No. 12 last August.

The group’s new single jumps 6-4 on Digital Songs (89,000, up 34 percent); 8-5 on Streaming Songs (14.4 million, up 20 percent); and 22-17 on Radio Songs (49 million, up 22 percent). The track, already a No. 1 on the Billboard + Twitter Trending 140, previews 5H‘s upcoming album 7/27, a nod to the date (in 2012) that the act formed on Fox’s The X Factor. The set arrives May 20 and follows the group’s debut full-length, 2015’s Reflection.

“Work From Home” additionally flies the flag for girl groups, becoming the first Hot 100 top 10 by a girl group this decade. The last such hit? The Pussycat Dolls‘ “When I Grow Up,” which became the act’s fourth and final top 10, reaching No. 9 back in July-August 2008.
