Nodal and his position on narcocorridos: “For tastes, the colors”

The king of mariacheño, Christian Nodal, is ready to conquer Guadalajara (again) on May 23 and 24 at the Metropolitan Auditorium. But before his fans faint with emotion, the singer dropped some pearls about his life, his music and, of course, the narcocorridos controversy that has half of Mexico talking.

It turns out that recently, in the same venue, they projected images of a drug lord during a concert (yes, like in Narcos, but with a band). The authorities of Jalisco and Zapopan did not take it kindly, but Nodal, being the diplomat that he is, preferred not to get involved in institutional disputes. Of course, he made it clear that his music goes the other way: that of love, spite and zero bullets.

“If I sang corridos and they told me no, then I would continue singing them, let’s see how you do”

There you have it, friends. Nodal, the rebel with a romantic cause, giving the perfect hint. But be careful, he is not judging anyone: “Each artist knows what he projects. If you go to a corrido show, obviously you are not going to be scared.” Basically, their philosophy is: live and let live, but with mariachi.

From press victim to relaxed star

The interpreter of “Botella Tras Botella” also confessed why he spent years avoiding interviews as if they were toxic exes. Spoiler: the press wasn’t always his BFF. “I wasn’t emotionally ready to put up with questions with double meanings,” he admitted. Translation? He didn’t want them to ruin his vibe with negative gossip. And now that he is in his era of good vibes, he even seems more loose with the media.

Concerts and musical surprises

For those who plan to go to his shows in May, Nodal promises that no night will be the same. There will be guests, various songs and, surely, some spontaneous meme (because with him, you never know). In addition, on April 10 he releases “Amé”, the first single from an album that he defines as “more commercial”. Duet with Ángela Aguilar? Nope. But collaborations that, according to him, “are jewels for the Mexican regional”.

Where and when? Metropolitan Auditorium, May 23 and 24. Tickets from $500 to $4,600 (yes, VIP costs like rent, but does love have a price?).

Global effect: streaming soars after halftime show

11-minute performance drives artist views on digital platforms.

The first World Cup halftime show, broadcast from the outskirts of New York, not only captured global attention for eleven minutes. He also left clear figures on streaming platforms. Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS and Shakira were part of a performance that generated notable increases in digital views.

How much did the views grow?

Luminate, a firm specializing in music industry data, compared the views of each song performed two days before the final (Friday and Saturday) with those on the following Sunday and Monday. The results:

  • Justin Bieber – “Everything Hallelujah” rose 110%, going from 592,000 to 1.25 million global views.
  • Madonna – “Music” increased 66%, from 193,000 to 321,000.
  • BTS – “Dynamite” grew 43%, from 2.14 million to 3.05 million.
  • Shakira and Burna Boy – “Dai Dai”, the official anthem of the 2026 World Cup, registered a 24% rebound globally (from 14.78 to 18.27 million). In the United States, the increase was 52% (from 1.68 to 2.55 million).

Impact limited to the show’s repertoire

Luminate noted that the increases were concentrated on songs played in the field, not artists’ entire catalogs. This phenomenon is similar to what happens after the Super Bowl halftime show. For example, Bad Bunny, after his record-breaking performance this year, saw a 175% increase in streaming of his catalog in the United States the day after the event.

The data confirms that a high-profile performance remains an effective platform for reactivating musical interest, even if the effect is limited to the pieces performed.

Ozzy Osbourne: a year without the rock icon who united thousands

Children and hometown pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness on their first anniversary.

A year after his departure, Ozzy Osbourne continues to draw crowds. No longer from a stage, but from memory.

On July 22, during his first death anniversary, social networks were filled with photos, videos and anecdotes to honor the “Prince of Darkness.” His children Kelly and Jack also joined the tribute.

The reflection of your children

Kelly Osbourne shared a text on Instagram that moved her followers. In it he talks about grief and how it transformed his life. “There is a type of grief that takes away much more from you than the person you love. Little by little it extinguishes the light of your laughter, the innocence of your hope… The deepest pain is waking up every day longing for the version of you that died along with that person,” he wrote.

“I not only mourn the loss of my father. I also mourn the person he was before death taught my heart a language it did not know.”

Jack Osbourne shared images and videos of fans with memories of the singer. “I am truly moved by all the stories and tributes that have been dedicated to my dad today. I am very grateful to everyone for making this #OzzyDay something so epic and for showing him immense love,” he wrote.

Birmingham celebrated Ozzy Day

The rocker’s hometown declared July 22 as “Ozzy Day.” The city council organized live music, public art and special performances. At different points, fans left flowers, t-shirts, candles and letters.

The Birmingham Symphony Orchestra joined in the tribute. The 2022 Commonwealth Games mechanical bull, Ozzy The Bull, sported the Black Sabbath frontman’s iconic glasses.

Ozzy Osbourne died at age 76 due to a heart attack, according to his death certificate.

Marjorie de Sousa: motherhood changed my vision of love

The Venezuelan actress reveals how motherhood transformed her perception of love and relationships.

Marjorie De Sousa is clear that becoming a mother transformed her way of seeing love. In a meeting with the media, the actress explained that her expectations about a relationship are different now.

His priority is his son Matías. “When you’re a mom, your priority is something else,” she said. “If God sends you the person who has to be with you, let it be someone who loves your son, who accepts him.”

Although love no longer occupies the same place, it is not closed to a new relationship. Look for someone who shares your values: “That I am prepared, that I want to live life, that I believe in God, that I am loving, that I respect my family, that I love my son as my own.”

Her last known courtship was with businessman Vicente Uribe in 2020. Since then, she prefers to keep her love life private.

Concern for Venezuela

De Sousa also spoke about the recent earthquakes in his native country. Several friends lost their assets and he is still waiting to know the status of his parents’ assets. “It’s very sad. I have many friends who lost everything… They are material things, but they are my parents’ effort in life,” he said.
