Sabrina Carpenter is celebrating a major milestone with her latest album, *Short n’ Sweet*, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Released on August 23, the pop star’s sixth studio album earned 362,000 album units, surpassing Travis Scott’s re-release of his 2014 mixtape *Days Before Rodeo*, which landed at No. 2. This marks Carpenter’s first Billboard No. 1 and the third-largest debut of 2024, following Beyoncé’s *Cowboy Carter* and Taylor Swift’s *The Tortured Poets Department*.

Carpenter’s chart success comes with a nod to Nicki Minaj, who faced a similar chart battle in 2018. After Carpenter’s victory, she tweeted, “this one’s for nicki,” referencing Minaj’s struggle when her album *Queen* went up against Scott’s *Astroworld*. Minaj acknowledged the tribute, showing love to Carpenter and her fans. The moment recalls Minaj’s past criticism of how Scott’s tour and merch sales boosted his chart performance, sparking a broader conversation about the challenges women face in the music industry.

Nigerian singer Spyro has strongly denied claims that he experienced a career setback after collaborating with Davido and Mayorkun. The singer, who worked with the two stars in 2018 on the remix of his song ‘Funke,’ was reportedly quoted in an interview with Hip TV saying he believed the collaboration would boost his career, but instead, it led to an unexpected setback, despite the song’s early success.

The statement quickly sparked backlash, with many fans of Davido accusing Spyro of blaming the 30BG boss for his struggles. The controversy stemmed from a post by the blog @Naija_PR on X, which shared photos of Spyro and Davido with a caption that read, “My career experienced a setback after I featured Davido and Mayorkun – Spyro.”

In response, Spyro quickly dismissed the claim, stating, “This is false!!! I never said anything like this. I give you 24 hours to take this down or be prepared to face the consequences.”

Carlos Santana, the iconic guitarist known for his electric performances and timeless music, was taken to the hospital on Monday evening, April 22, 2025, after falling ill just before a planned concert in San Antonio, Texas.

The 77-year-old music legend was backstage at the Majestic Theatre when he reportedly began to feel unwell. Paramedics were quickly called to the scene, and Santana was transported to a nearby medical facility on a stretcher. Initial reports suggest that dehydration may have been the cause of the emergency, but he is currently undergoing more tests to be sure.

This isn’t the first time Santana has faced health challenges during a tour. Back in 2022, he collapsed during a show in Michigan, with doctors later confirming it was due to heat exhaustion and dehydration. Earlier this year, in January, he had to delay the start of his Las Vegas residency after suffering a fall that left him with a broken finger.

His team has confirmed that he is recovering and in good spirits. While the San Antonio show has been postponed, fans are being told to hold on to their tickets, as a new date will be announced once he’s cleared to perform again.

Carlos Santana remains one of the most respected names in rock and Latin music. Even after decades in the industry, he’s still actively touring and recently released a new album titled Sentient, featuring collaborations with major artists.
