In this episode we welcome not one but two wonderful guests to RBP Towers. Susan Compo and Derek Ridgers have been trans-Atlantic pals for decades and first met on a FourFourTwo assignment to interview and photograph the L.A.-expats "soccer" team Hollywood United. Starting with Susan's punk years in Southern California, we hear about her memories of seeing the Sex Pistols live in Dallas and Tulsa in January 1978. She also talks about her trip to London the year before, prompting Derek's recall of the punk scene he began photographing at clubs such as Vortex and the Roxy. Derek then rewinds his story to his late '60s days at Ealing School of Art when fellow student Freddie Mercury nicked his girlfriend in a local pub. The conversation oscillates between Susan's reflections on her career move – from music journalism to short stories about star-crossed Goths – and Derek's memories of the New Romantic "movement" he documented so brilliantly in early '80s London. In between clips from John Tobler's 1984 audio interview with Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley, Derek talks about his approach to his chosen medium. After touching on Derek's years at Loaded magazine and Susan's terrific books about Warren Oates and David Bowie, we discuss our shared passion for football/"soccer" before paying tribute to Derek's former NME colleague Jack Barron. Jasper then talks us out with quotes from newly-added library pieces about Grandmaster Flash (2000) and Boy George (2024). Many thanks to special guests Susan Compo and Derek Ridgers. Susan's books, include Malingering and David Bowie and The Man Who Fell To Earth are available from all good bookshops. You can visit Derek's website at derekridgers.com and his latest book, Hello, I Love You, is published by IDEA.  Pieces discussed: The Sex Pistols Shoot To The Top, The Cure: Happily Ever After, White Noise/White Sands: The Bowie Who Fell to Earth, Gary Kemp on the RBP podcast, New Romantics, Electro-Disco: Night Moves, Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley audio, Jack Barron, Nick Cave: The Needle And The Damage Done, The Stone Roses: Bliss This House, Gregory Isaacs: Gregorian Rants, Gong: The Gong Remains The Same, The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash in the Game of Life⁠ and ⁠Boy George⁠.

Once again, Bad Bunny is dominating music headlines and social media as his brand-new “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour” launched with a pair of sold-out shows at Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez in Santo Domingo on November 21 and 22. According to a vivid recap from DropVibe, the kickoff event was electric, cementing Bad Bunny's reputation for turning concerts into full-blown cinematic experiences. The final act erupted with fireworks and confetti, fans singing along to every word, capturing the fusion of spectacle, community, and personal connection that defines his current era.Americanonewspaper.com reports that fans lined up hours before the gates opened and remained outside well into the concert amid access snafus—underscoring the feverish demand for tickets on this tour. Bad Bunny performed fan favorites like “Callaita,” “Baile Inolvidable,” “Tití Me Preguntó,” and “Yo Perreo Sola,” but also treated Dominican Republic listeners to exclusives including “25/8” and a collaborative performance with local dembow legend El Alfa. His setlist wove together tributes to Puerto Rico, emotional storytelling, and commentary on Caribbean life, reflecting the deeper, nostalgic tone of his upcoming album, also titled Debí Tirar Más Fotos.According to TheLagosReview and NME, that sixth studio album is officially set for release on January 5, 2026. Bad Bunny previewed the album's reflective spirit—centered on the importance of memory, photographs, and living in the present—in a video teaser featuring Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales. Fans are also already spinning his new holiday single “Pitorro de Coco,” which infuses heartbreak into festive season traditions and showcases his range as both a vocalist and storyteller.LaMezcla.com confirms the world tour is set to take him across Latin America, Australia, and Europe well into next summer, with a historic nine-show run slated in Mexico City and performances in major cities from Sydney to Buenos Aires. Jointly, the tour marks yet another high in Bad Bunny's trajectory, building on streaming records and sold-out arenas: Billboard recently hailed him as the top Latin artist of the 21st century and Spotify's most-streamed Latin artist in 2024.Adding to the current media frenzy, The Guilfordian and StingerEHS report that Bad Bunny's cultural reach is about to take center stage in the U.S. as he has been tapped to perform at Super Bowl LX, sending waves across social media as fans react to the news and speculate about potential surprise guests or genre fusions.His popularity is so influential that Yale University is keeping its course dedicated to his music and impact, with CT Public noting that his ascent—from streaming icon to halftime headliner—continues to shape cultural conversations on and off campus.On Instagram and TikTok, excerpts from the Santo Domingo concerts, behind-the-scenes moments, and snippets of his newest tracks have racked up millions of views. Fans are dissecting the album teaser's themes and his interactions with Dominican fans, where he expressed heartfelt gratitude and called the Dominican Republic his second home. As tour dates continue to sell out and excitement for the album peaks, it's clear Bad Bunny remains not just a songwriter and performer, but a global cultural phenomenon whose every move sets trends and sparks conversation.Thanks for tuning in—be sure to come back next week for more updates on Bad Bunny and all things music, culture, and entertainment.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been at the center of the Latin music world this past week, with headlines dominated by his sweeping success at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards, his Super Bowl halftime show announcement, and a new album rollout that's already building major buzz. Listeners everywhere have been talking about his landmark win at the 2025 Latin Grammys, where Bad Bunny took home five awards—including the highly coveted Album of the Year for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” That's a significant first for him, as it marks his arrival in one of the major “big general” categories after previously winning only in rap and urban genres. In his acceptance speech, Bad Bunny paid tribute to Puerto Rico and dedicated his wins to the youth of Latin America, urging them to never forget their roots—something he reinforced throughout the album and in public appearances. NPR highlighted this as a moment that has shaped not only the year in Latin music but also conversations about cultural pride and identity. According to ideastream and the AP, performances from his new album, such as “DTMF” and “Weltita” with Chuwi, electrified the Grammy audience and social media alike.“Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which means “I should have taken more photos,” has proven to be a deeply personal album. Reviews from multiple outlets describe it as a mix of nostalgia, reflection, and tributes to his Puerto Rican heritage. The themes of holding onto memories, processing heartbreak, and championing community pride have resonated strongly with listeners. Both “El Clúb” and the holiday single “Pitorro De Coco” have driven streams and conversation, with “Pitorro De Coco” reflecting on heartbreak amid holiday celebrations. Critics call this album one of his most introspective, showing new depth to Bad Bunny's artistic journey.Outside the awards and album rollout, Bad Bunny has also been confirmed to headline the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL's announcement in September triggered a wave of excitement and conversation across social media, especially within the Latin community and beyond. Outlets like The Guilfordian and Japan Today describe this booking as a cultural milestone, underscoring Bad Bunny's influence in bringing Latin music to the global stage for major American audiences.Adding to the excitement, he announced that his sixth studio album, also titled “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” will officially drop on January 5, 2025. Music sites like NME and AOL shared details of a cinematic teaser trailer featuring Bad Bunny and legendary Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales discussing the meaning of photos and memories in life. The trailer's contemplative tone signals that the album will dive even deeper into themes of remembrance and love for home, with an expected tracklist of 17 songs, including the already released singles “El Clúb” and “Pitorro De Coco.”This period also sees Bad Bunny's name in Hollywood headlines after his cameo in the trailer for Adam Sandler's “Happy Gilmore 2.” Meanwhile, his Most Wanted Tour ranked as one of the highest-grossing tours of 2024, pulling in over $210 million and cementing his status as a global superstar.Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for more updates on Bad Bunny and the world of music.

Hey EIChihuahuas, happy Friday! To celebrate, we gift you a brand new episode, kisses.This week on the podcast it's just Oenone & Beth steering the content ship through the choppy waters of: The Real Housewives of London, the biblical new release from Rosalía, & a controversial new celebrity skincare line.First... Real housewives of London premiered this summer, with many curious as to how this beloved show would fare across the Atlantic. The series follows eight women navigating London's ultra-wealthy social circles, balancing old money, new money, & country piles. There's glamorous events, designer drama, & class tensions with the expected Housewives mix of alliances, gossip, & fallouts. The series sees the women get into blows over some dubious dentistry aka teeth-gate, renting outfits, not picking up the bill & the definition of ‘best friend'. We share our thoughts on the series & the explosive two-parter reunion.Next up, on November 6 Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell launched a new line of sheet masks for children. Everyone's writing about it from Glamour, to Marie Claire, The New York post & The Metro, & not an insignificant number of you guys in our DMs, too. So is this a dystopian nightmare, or just a bit of harmless fun that's been blown out of proportion?And last but by no means least, an album hotly anticipated globally, but also very much on this podcast, & that is LUX, the fourth record by Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía. According to Pitchfork it's “a heartfelt offering of avant-garde classical pop that roars through genre, romance, and religion”. The BBC called it “radical and riveting” & NME said it's “an arresting album of astonishing scope and ambition”. The 33 year old, who is a trained Flamenco singer, sings in 13 different languages on the album, including Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, Latin and Sicilian, and worked for a year writing the lyrics and working with professional translators to make sure they were just right. It is receiving an avalanche of five star reviews for artistry, composition, narrative, lyrics. The album is now out, we've both listened to it... We're by no means musical experts, but we give our thoughts.Thank you so much to Cue podcasts for the edit.Beth's been loving: Shirley Valentine, The Missing KayakerOenone's been loving: Loren Ipsum, Andrew GallixReal Housewives Of LondonShay Mitchell statement on RiniWhat Dermatologists Really Think About Sheet Masks for Toddlers - Rosalía Has Biggest Streaming Debut of Any Female Spanish-Language Artist on Spotify love ya O, R, B xx Hosted on Acast.

Most notably, Bad Bunny took home five awards at the 2025 Latin Grammys, including his first-ever Album of the Year for his latest project debí tirar más fotos, which translates to ‘I Should Have Taken More Photos.' The ceremony, held in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, saw Bad Bunny not only claim Album of the Year but also win in categories like música urbana album, música urbana song for “DTmF,” reggaeton performance for “Voy A Llevarte Pa Pr,” and more. In his heartfelt acceptance speech, Bad Bunny thanked his family, collaborators, and closed with a passionate message: “Puerto Rico, I love you, thank you,” underlining the strong ties to his homeland and the album's deeply personal themes, which listeners and critics alike have praised as a love letter to his island according to coverage at Sentinel Colorado and NPR.This new album, debí tirar más fotos, is set for a global release on January 5, 2025, but selected tracks have already dropped and are making waves online. The emotionally charged single “Pitorro de Coco,” released during the holiday season and named for a traditional Puerto Rican rum, has resonated with fans for its story of heartbreak and nostalgia. Similarly, “El Clúb,” released earlier this month, blends EDM with plena—a traditional Afro-Caribbean rhythm—showcasing Bad Bunny's ongoing fusion of genres and his ability to reflect on past relationships in a relatable, down-to-earth way. These releases have been widely discussed across social media platforms, with listeners praising the introspective direction of his new music, as noted by NME and The Lagos Review.The album announcement was accompanied by a poignant video teaser starring legendary Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales, who discusses the importance of capturing and living in the moment. The written and visual themes of nostalgia and embracing one's memories are at the forefront of this new project, offering listeners a more contemplative and personal side of Bad Bunny than ever before.Bad Bunny's influence hasn't stopped at music releases; his appearance in the trailer for Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 has generated excitement among fans, spreading rapidly through Instagram and TikTok. Meanwhile, the numbers from his “Most Wanted Tour” continue to impress, ranking seventh among 2024's highest-grossing tours with a total revenue of $210.9 million, affirming his status as one of the most commercially successful Latin artists in the world.The buzz around Bad Bunny this week has been electric, with news outlets universally highlighting his sweeping Latin Grammy wins, his bold creative choices, and his ability to pack meaning and emotion into every track and public appearance. Whether it's his music, his awards, or his crossover into film, Bad Bunny's ongoing evolution is captivating listeners around the globe.Thanks for tuning in.

Thomas Leer in conversation with David Eastaugh  http://thomasleer.co.uk/ Leer played in several local experimental pop groups in the early to mid-1970s, moving to London when the punk rock scene was at its height. He formed the punk band Pressure, but by 1978 had moved on to music influenced by synthpop and Krautrock bands such as Can. That year, he self-financed his debut single, "Private Plane". Although it was recorded in his own flat and was only issued in 650 copies on his own label, it gained significant attention, with NME naming it "Single of the Week". In 1979, he released the album The Bridge in collaboration with Robert Rental. In 1981, he signed to Cherry Red, his first release for the label being the 4 Movements EP. After two further releases on the label, he was signed by Arista Records, releasing three further singles and his debut full-length solo album, The Scale of Ten in late 1985.  

Bad Bunny has dominated headlines and social channels over the past week, largely due to his much-anticipated upcoming performance as the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner. The decision by the NFL to make him the centerpiece of Super Bowl LX has ignited a significant controversy, with criticism pouring in from conservative politicians and commentators. Donald Trump himself slammed the choice as “absolutely ridiculous,” and right-wing groups like Turning Point USA have announced plans for their own rival halftime programming scheduled to air at the same time. All of this has stoked debate about Latino representation as some critics—including political figures—view Bad Bunny's prominence as a challenge to what they call “the sanctity of the American game,” according to Forge Press.Social media remains divided. Bad Bunny's fans have expressed overwhelming pride and excitement about the upcoming performance, pointing to his success in shaping a narrative of Latino pride and inclusion. Critics, on the other hand, have called for a boycott, even launching petitions demanding that the NFL replace him with a country artist like George Strait. This episode comes at a charged moment, as intensified ICE raids and immigration crackdowns have deeply affected Latino communities. Bad Bunny has spoken openly about skipping U.S. tour dates out of concern for fan safety in light of potential ICE actions, as reported by I-D magazine and covered widely online.A Quinnipiac University poll released this week shows just how divided Americans are over Bad Bunny's halftime gig. Nearly three-quarters of Democrats approve of the NFL decision, while 63 percent of Republicans disapprove. His strongest support comes from listeners under 34 and Hispanic respondents. The performance has become a symbol, intentionally or not, of broader cultural tension and shifting demographics in American life. When hosting SNL's season premiere recently, Bad Bunny addressed non-Spanish speakers with a playful jab: “You have four months to learn,” a nod to his predominately Spanish-language repertoire.In music news, there's substantial excitement over the release of Bad Bunny's new album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” scheduled to drop on January 5, 2025. The announcement was delivered through a moving teaser video featuring Puerto Rican film legend Jacobo Morales, delving into themes of nostalgia and memory. Early singles from the album—such as “Pitorro De Coco” and “El Clúb”—are already gaining traction on streaming platforms, with emotional lyrics centering on heartbreak and reflection. Critics anticipate the new album will be his most personal yet, showing an introspective side to the Puerto Rican superstar, as NME and Variety have reported.Bad Bunny's presence is reshaping tourism in Puerto Rico as well. His concert residency “No me quiero ir de aquí” has turned San Juan into a cultural hotspot, driving record hotel occupancy and boosting local economic growth, according to an analysis from Moody's Analytics cited by Bloomberg. The artist's embrace of Puerto Rican identity is attracting fans and travelers to the island, making tourism more about transformative experience than simple leisure. For travelers, Bad Bunny's music and platform create an emotional connection to Puerto Rico that's redefining tourism in 2025.On streaming platforms, Bad Bunny continues to break records, with billions of listens credited to his catalog this year alone. And his influence extends even further, popping up in the recent trailer for Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 and making headlines with his remarkable watch collection worn at the IHeartRadio Music Awards.That's what's happening with Bad Bunny right now—where music, politics, and pop culture are colliding in real time.

Bad Bunny has dominated headlines this week after a run of major career milestones and headline-grabbing announcements. Bad Bunny—whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—made waves by announcing his sixth studio album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (I Should Have Taken More Photos), set for release on January 5, 2026. According to NME and coverage across music outlets, the announcement came in a creatively reflective video teaser featuring Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales. The video explores nostalgia and the fleeting nature of life, themes that listeners can expect to run through the new album. He also surprised fans with a holiday single, “Pitorro de Coco,” which touches on heartbreak during the festive period while nodding to Puerto Rican tradition as it's named after a classic rum beverage. This introspective angle suggests a more personal evolution in his music style, which has continued to attract both critical and popular acclaim.Last Thursday, Bad Bunny was the centerpiece of the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami, appearing in person after much speculation. He won an impressive eleven awards, including Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century—a distinction presented by the legendary Rita Moreno. His album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” took home the Top Latin Album of the Year, solidifying its status as a streaming juggernaut and confirming that “DtMF,” one of its singles, was also the streaming song of the year. During the ceremony, Bad Bunny took time to thank his peers and acknowledged the collective achievements within Latin music, emphasizing its growing global reach and the collaborative nature of its modern movement.The buzz around Bad Bunny isn't limited to music. On the global stage, he set social media alight with the announcement that he will be the halftime headliner at Super Bowl LIX in February 2026. This will mark the first time that the performance features an exclusively non-English-language artist. According to reporting in The Catalyst and Embrace Boston, this announcement sparked both widespread celebration and a notable backlash, particularly from conservative circles. Critics—including former President Donald Trump—have voiced resistance online, questioning the NFL's choice. But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has stood firm, noting Bad Bunny's massive popularity and commercial impact. This selection highlights ongoing debates about who gets to represent American culture and signals a push toward a broader, more inclusive national stage. Since the announcement, Bad Bunny's streaming numbers have spiked, and conversations about Puerto Rican identity, cultural representation, and the politics of American football are trending on both traditional news and social media channels.Bad Bunny's win streak continues beyond music and sports. He's appearing in a newly released teaser for “Happy Gilmore 2” with Adam Sandler and maintains a significant presence with younger audiences as one of the most followed and influential artists online. ChartMetrics and Kworb report record streaming stats for his albums, especially for “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” and “Baile Inolvidable.” The Most Wanted Tour, which wrapped earlier this year, closed 2024 as one of the top grossing tours, bringing in over $210 million in revenue.This week, listeners are witnessing Bad Bunny not just cement his legacy in music, but also challenge, provoke, and expand cultural boundaries across the mainstream—whether that's on the Billboard stage, at the upcoming Super Bowl, or in Hollywood. His fearless self-expression and advocacy for Puerto Rican identity are reshaping the conversation about music, fame, and representation on a global scale.Thank you for tuning in and be sure to come back next week for more insights and updates.

Bad Bunny is front and center in global news this week, making history as the first male Latin American artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2026. The NFL's announcement last month set off a frenzy, with experts from Temple University highlighting that his performance—planned mostly in Spanish at Levi's Stadium in California—will mark a powerful cultural moment for both Latin American and U.S. audiences. According to Temple Now, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime will serve as both a “visual and musical love letter to Puerto Rico and Latinidad,” expected to spotlight Puerto Rican identity, resilience, and contemporary issues like colonialism, gentrification, and economic disparities. Many anticipate that he might share the stage with other major Puerto Rican voices such as Ivy Queen or Marc Anthony.His recent residency in Puerto Rico also broke records, generating over $733 million for the island's economy and achieving the most-watched livestream ever on Amazon Music, based on reporting from the Associated Press and Amazon Prime Video. This record-breaking residency is linked to a multiyear partnership with Amazon, combining entertainment with social impact initiatives for Puerto Rican education, disaster relief, and economic empowerment. These cultural efforts have further solidified his influence not just musically, but socially and academically, with classes dedicated to his work emerging at major universities and a forthcoming book titled “How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance” set for release in early 2026.Bad Bunny has also been creating buzz with his new music. On the heels of his successful "Most Wanted Tour," which grossed over $210 million and ranked seventh among the biggest tours of 2024, he announced that his new album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”) will drop on January 5, 2025. This sixth studio album was introduced via a poignant video teaser that featured acclaimed Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales in conversation with an animated character, delving into themes of nostalgia and the importance of living in the moment. The holiday single “Pitorro de Coco,” named after a traditional Puerto Rican rum, and another track “El Clúb,” each explore heartbreak and memories of past love—showing a deeper introspective turn in Bad Bunny's music, as covered by outlets like The Lagos Review and NME.His recent songs—and the album as a whole—have been described as a love letter to Puerto Rico, recorded entirely on the island with local musicians. Visual elements of his latest work, created in partnership with historian Jorell Meléndez-Badillo, span key moments in Puerto Rican history from the 16th century to today. These include references to the Grito de Lares uprising, the Ponce massacre, and debates around U.S. colonialism, bringing history into popular music in a way that's reaching a new generation of listeners.Listeners are also keeping an eye out for Bad Bunny's unexpected moves in other areas of entertainment. He recently appeared in the trailer for Adam Sandler's “Happy Gilmore 2,” hinting at further Hollywood ambitions.Thank you for tuning in.

Bad Bunny, also known as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is moving into the spotlight with major music news this week. The global superstar has just dropped a surprise holiday single, “Pitorro de Coco,” inspired by a classic Puerto Rican rum drink, marking a festive close to 2025 before the launch of his highly anticipated sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which translates to “I Should Have Taken More Photos.” According to NME and Lagos Review, the album is slated for release on January 5, 2025, and features 17 tracks, with a sound that blends his signature reggaeton with emotional storytelling and deeper themes centered on nostalgia, family, and living in the present.The mood of this upcoming album is more introspective than previous releases. Bad Bunny teased the project with a poignant video featuring Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales, who reflects on the fleeting nature of life and cherishing memories through photos. The teaser's emotional core seems to set the scene for a very personal chapter in Bad Bunny's artistic journey, one that resonates deeply with his massive international audience.His single “Pitorro de Coco” tells of heartbreak during the holiday season, adding to Bad Bunny's reputation for transforming personal pain into relatable anthems. The recently released track “El Clúb” is a fusion of EDM and plena, an Afro-Caribbean style that's deeply Puerto Rican, while “NeuvaYoL” is a fan favorite paying tribute to the cultural link between Puerto Rico and New York City. According to Sweety High, the latter track's energetic beat and cross-cultural references have made it stand out in the U.S., especially among Latin music fans.Less than a year ago, Bad Bunny's “Most Wanted Tour” ranked as the seventh-highest grossing tour of 2024, notching over $210 million in revenue, further cementing his status as a leading force in global music. This week, anticipation is rising as fans speculate about his setlist for the imminent 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show, with many expecting him to perform new hits from Debí Tirar Más Fotos, alongside classics like “BAILE INoLVIDABLE,” a salsa-infused track about unforgettable love, and the sentimental “Amorfada,” according to the Asbury Park Press and Sweety High.Critics are already calling the new record one of Bad Bunny's best. Numero describes Debí Tirar Más Fotos as “universally praised,” highlighting its mix of traditional Puerto Rican genres and modern pop sounds. The album explores themes of love, reflection, and cultural pride, notably in tracks such as “La Mudanza,” which retells the story of Bad Bunny's family and roots, and “DtMF,” which encourages embracing the moment and cherishing loved ones. As Baylor Lariat notes, the album's emotional range has even managed to win over listeners who wouldn't normally listen to Bad Bunny.Beyond music, Bad Bunny recently appeared in the trailer for the new “Happy Gilmore 2” with Adam Sandler, showing his expanding influence into film and pop culture. Whether it's music, livestreams, or movies, Bad Bunny continues to break boundaries and capture attention across the globe this week as fans anxiously wait for his next big move.Thanks for tuning in.

In the past week, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, globally known as Bad Bunny, has been everywhere in the news and lighting up social media with major moves in both music and pop culture. Starting with the biggest headline, Bad Bunny has been officially named the Super Bowl LIX halftime performer for 2026 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, a decision that's sparked lively debates and reactions online and across TV networks. The announcement was quickly followed by a viral appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, where Bad Bunny both hosted and addressed the controversy swirling around his halftime slot.On SNL, Bad Bunny took the stage in trademark style, using his opening monologue to directly respond to critics questioning his selection for the Super Bowl show. In English and Spanish, he reminded everyone that his performance is a victory not just for himself but for the entire Latino community in the U.S., saying, “Our footprints and our contribution to this country—no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it.” He addressed the possibility of the performance being entirely in Spanish, which sparked heated responses from a segment of the U.S. political spectrum, especially after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed ICE officers would be present at the event, a move that many fans saw as politically charged. Social media erupted with support, memes, and the now-trending tag “Duolingo for the Gringos,” as people celebrated Bad Bunny's unapologetically Latino stance and infectious pride.While the Super Bowl news has dominated sports and entertainment commentary, Bad Bunny's musical influence remains just as strong. On January 5, he released his sixth studio album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”). The project has been hailed by many outlets, including NME and Wikipedia, as his most personal yet, blending reggaeton and house with deep dives into traditional Puerto Rican roots—plena, salsa, bomba, and more. Lyrically, the album explores Puerto Rican political realities, cultural pride, and the nostalgia of capturing moments before they pass. The record has already gone to number one on the Billboard 200 and its tracks are dominating the Hot 100, making Bad Bunny the first Latin artist with more than 100 entries on the chart. TikTok has been buzzing as song after song from “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” finds viral life with dance challenges and heartfelt covers.In addition to his SNL appearance and musical achievements, Bad Bunny just wrapped up a historic concert residency in Puerto Rico and is preparing for his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” World Tour, which kicks off in November. Notably, he's skipping the U.S. on this leg, explaining in interviews that concerns about immigration enforcement and ICE presence influenced his decision. According to i-D magazine, Bad Bunny expressed that safety and respect for his community are at the forefront of his decisions, drawing widespread empathy and praise from Latino and immigrant supporters on X and Instagram.Adding to his pop culture reach, Bad Bunny appeared in the much-watched trailer for Adam Sandler's “Happy Gilmore 2,” showing that his crossover appeal remains sky-high. Forbes and Billboard recently reported his Most Wanted Tour raked in over $210 million last year, cementing his status as a live performance giant.With the Super Bowl, a hit album, SNL, viral singles, chart records, and a blockbuster tour, Bad Bunny is more than just a superstar—he's a cultural force redefining global music and representation.

Is this the way they say the future's meant to be?It's November 1995. Pop was pulling in many different directions. But predominantly, it was swaggering its way towards the end of the century in a confident, Union Jack draped fashion. Whilst dance music, boybands, TV based retro crooners and a range of other co-stars were vying for our well earned pounds in the likes of HMV and Virgin, it was the guitar driven sounds of Britpop that were sitting at the heart of most CD wish lists as Christmas approached. As always, the team at NOW were on hand to make sense of the latest and greatest hits from 1995 and successfully curate another selection of Top Chart Hits for us. Volume 32, graced with a wonderful wintry sunsheeeine (sorry) setting, welcomed listeners into two CDs (or cassettes or even vinyl!) containing forty of them. Legacy acts such as Queen, Meat Loaf, U2, Tina Turner and Cher provided the familiarity. A sparkling range of great (and, lets be honest, a few not so great) dance bangers including N-Trance, Berri and The Original. But for most purchasing or unwrapping NOW32 in 1995, it was the allure of the likes of Pulp, Radiohead, Cast, Paul Weller AND, of course, the chart battle of blur and Oasis that makes this particular volume of our favourite compilation so iconic. A moment in time?A moment when Britpop demonstrated that it has outgrown NME and was now on the Nine O' clock news.Joining me for this episode is music and travel journalist Emma Harrison.Together, come back with us THIRTY years to revisit a time when Pulp were the biggest pre-selling artist on Island records, when Jimmy Nail was a genuine pin up for 12 year old girls(!), when Bono and The Edge were writing Bond themes and something called Sacred Spirit was breaking out of aromatherapy rooms into the (very low end of the) charts!Rediscover some genuine 90s classics from the likes of McAlmont & Butler and Everything but the Girl. Revel at how wonderful the HELP compilation album still is. Amaze yourself at a time when Christmas TOTP was presented by Bjork and Jack Dee (and they got away with it, spectacularly) and as always, argue with the presenters and their ‘missing' track selections from 1995. And celebrate (yes, CELEBRATE) the total lack of Robson and Jerome!Sometimes, NOW really do get it completely right. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
