Latin music cleaned up at Premios Juventud, while a wave of new albums and singles from major artists dominated the release calendar. The day felt split between celebrating established stars and looking ahead to what's next.
The awards season kicked off in Spain, and a few familiar names took home the hardware.
Shakira, Romeo Santos, and Prince Royce were the night's big winners at Premios Juventud, held in Marbella. Romeo Santos and Prince Royce's collaborative album cleaned up with three awards.
A bunch of artists dropped new tracks and announced projects, giving fans plenty to stream.
Miley Cyrus dropped the video for the title track off her new album. It's a club-pop track that reviewers are comparing to Britney's Blackout era.
Lisa returns to rapping on her new solo single, which samples a Thai greeting. It's the first taste of her upcoming EP, out in October.
Drake finally set a date for his long-teased 'FOMO' project. It drops September 15 on YouTube, time zone TBD.
Pitchfork weighed in on two very different albums, and the industry got a think piece on cross-genre strategy.
Pitchfork draws a line from Deafheaven's 2010s crossover to Chat Pile's current blend of extreme metal and indie-rock, calling it a defining sound of the 2020s.
