BTS New Live Album Hits 14.5 Million Streams in Just One Day on Spotify
BTS has once again made history with the release of their first official live album, Permission to Dance On Stage – Seoul, which dropped on July 18. The album didn’t just excite fans, it broke a major record by racking up a jaw-dropping 14.5 million streams on Spotify within just 24 hours. This impressive feat pushes BTS ahead of Beyoncé’s Homecoming live album, which previously held the record in this category.
The album shows the raw energy, emotion, and stage presence that BTS brought to their three-night concert series held at Seoul Olympic Stadium in March 2022. For many fans, these shows were extra meaningful as they marked the group’s return to live performances in South Korea after nearly two years of pandemic restrictions.
The BET Awards ceremony returned once again and was held on June 28, 2026.
This year’s ceremony was hosted by Druski and celebrated some of the biggest names in music, film, and entertainment.
Some of the night’s winners include:
- Kendrick Lamar – Best Male Hip Hop Artist (9th win)
- Kehlani – Best Female R&B/Pop Artist
- Kehlani – Video of the Year (“Folded”)
- Olivia Dean – Best New Artist
- Cardi B – Best Female Hip Hop Artist
- Leon Thomas – Best Male R&B/Pop Artist
- Michael B. Jordan – Best Lead Actor (Sinners)
- Teyana “Spike-Tey” Taylor – Video Director of the Year
Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.

She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
The host then teased her, saying “We should shoot our shot.”
