#SZA
o Congratulations to the singer for just breaking a 58 year old record!
o Just two weeks after her song “Kill Bill” broke the record for the longest running No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs by a woman, her SOS album has just become the longest reigning No. 1 by a solo woman in the chart’s history.
o And she broke the previous record held by The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
o Her album Aretha Now, with songs like “Think” and her cover of “I Say A Little Prayer” stayed at number one for 17 weeks in 1968.
o And this week, SZA logged her 18th week on top.
#Disney+ #Hulu
o Disney announced that they'd be combining Disney+ and Hulu into ONE app, possibly with ESPN+ as well, by the end of the year.
o But they will remain separate subscriptions, so you can still get the standalone options.
o You’ll only have your Disney+ and Hulu combined if you subscribe to both.
o Of course, this might be temporary because Disney only owns two-thirds of Hulu with Comcast owning the other third.
o Next year, one company is expected to take over the whole thing, but it's unclear who will run it.
o Disney has also announced that they will be raising the price of Disney+'s ad-free tier.
o It's currently $10.99 a month, or $110 a year. They did not say what the new price will be.
#BadBunny
o The American Heart Association (AHA) encourages everyone to learn CPR and they say one Bad Bunny song can be used to save lives. His his track “Titi Me Pregunto” has just been added as a song that has the perfect beat to perform chest compressions when doing hands-only CPR.
o The song’s tempo has 107 beats per minute (BPM), which falls within the recommended 100 to 120 BPM for doing CPR. The AHA even created a playlist on Spotify called “Don't Drop The Beat,” that includes other popular songs that also fall in that sweet spot for beats per minute.
o Classic hits on the playlist include “Intergalactic” by Beastie Boys, “More Than a Feeling” by Boston, “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, “Stayin’ Alive” by the BeeGees, and “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC.
o If someone collapses and needs chest compressions, the American Heart Association says these songs are a good way to time compressions saying, “Think about that song. Think about the beat of that music. That’s 100 to 120 beats per minute, and that’s how fast you should be pushing on the chest.”
