The Encanto soundtrack stays firm at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a sixth nonconsecutive week on top. It is now tied with Adele’s 30 for the third-most weeks at No. 1 in the last five years. Only Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album (with 10) and Taylor Swift’s Folklore (eight) have tallied more weeks at No. 1 since January 2017.

Encanto earned 98,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 17 (down 11%), according to MRC Data.

Plus, Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits and Dr. Dre’s Dr. Dre – 2001 albums both return to the top 10, following the artists’ performance during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show on Feb. 13.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by MRC Data. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Feb. 26, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 23 (one day later than usual, due to the Presidents’ Day holiday in the U.S. on Feb. 21). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Encanto’s 98,000 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 83,000 (down 9%, equaling 123.44 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 12,500 (down 25%) and TEA units comprise 2,500 (down 8%).

A trio of former No. 1s trail Encanto, as Gunna’s DS4Ever holds at No. 2 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3%), Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album rises 4-3 with 42,000 units (up 3%) and Drake’s Certified Lover Boy climbs 7-4 with 34,000 units (though down 3%).

The Weeknd’s compilation The Highlights bumps 8-5 with 33,000 equivalent album units earned (down 2%), Doja Cat’s Planet Her ascends 10-6 with 31,000 units (down 2%) and Adele’s 30 moves 9-7 with nearly 31,000 units (down 3%).

Eminem and Dr. Dre return to the top 10 on the Billboard 200, following their co-headlining performance during the Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 13. Eminem’s former No. 1 Curtain Call: The Hits vaults from 126-8 with almost 31,000 equivalent album units earned (up 256%) while Dr. Dre’s Dr. Dre – 2001 zooms 108-9 with 30,500 units (up 220%). Eminem and Dr. Dre starred in the halftime show alongside Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar, with special guests 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak.

Curtain Call returns to the top 10 for the first time since the March 11, 2006 chart, when it ranked at No. 8. It debuted atop the Billboard 200 dated Dec. 24, 2005. Dr. Dre – 2001 debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Dec. 4, 1999-dated chart and was last in the top 10 on the May 13, 2000, list (No. 9).

During the halftime show, Eminem performed “Lose Yourself,” which is featured on Curtain Call, while three tracks included on Dr. Dre – 2001 were also performed during halftime: “The Next Episode,” “Forgot About Dre” and “Still D.R.E.”

Of Curtain Call’s 31,000 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 26,000 (up 227%, equaling 37.67 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 1,500 (up 267%) and TEA units comprise 3,500 (up 1,015%).

Closing out the top 10 on the Billboard 200 is Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1, Sour, rising 12-10 with just over 30,000 equivalent album units earned (up 1%).

Sabrina Carpenter‘s latest song “Fast Times” has topped this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Feb. 18) on Billboard, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter’s warm and glistening new track as their favorite new music release of the past week.

Co-written by Carpenter, Julia Michaels, J.P. Saxe and John Ryan, “Fast Times” brought in nearly 87% of the vote, beating out new music by Silk Sonic (“Love’s Train”), Jack Harlow (“Nail Tech”), Kid Cudi and Nigo (“Want It Bad”), Beach House (Once Twice Melody), and others.

“Tiptoeing past so many stages/ But what the f–k is patience?” Carpenter asks on “Fast Times,” previewing an Island Records debut album that aims to push the former Disney Channel star squarely into adult pop stardom.

Carpenter enjoyed a chart breakthrough in 2021 with the synth-led ballad “Skin,” which marked her first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 48.

Placing second on the past week’s tally with 8.5% of the vote was Silk Sonic’s take on a cover of Con Funk Shun’s 1982 classic “Love’s Train.” Much like on their album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, the duo — consisting of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak — infuse the track with equal parts funk, soul and most importantly, passion.

Kodak Black is reflecting on being shot in the leg outside a Los Angeles afterparty during Super Bowl weekend.

The 24-year-old rapper took to Instagram Live on Friday (Feb. 18) to discuss the shooting incident, which occurred outside The Nice Guy restaurant in the early hours of Feb. 11 following a Justin Bieber concert. Three other men were also shot, but their injuries were not life threatening.

“Quarterbacks get sacked too,” a shirtless Kodak said in the video while flashing a stack of cash. “Listen bruh, n—- done popped me. Stop playing, this shit p—-. But at the end of the day, alright, n—-s take they licks.”

The rapper — who was seated next to another man in the clip — also showed off his injured leg, which was wrapped in a bandage and sporting a knee brace.

“At the end of the day, n—- ain’t hiding and s—,” Kodak said. “This what it is. Screenshot it, be happy about it. Whatever, hooray. Celebrate this muthaf—–, you heard me. ‘Bout time.”

The rapper continued, “I done stood up in shootouts. I done stood up in multiple shootouts and ain’t never get scratched. Just got a little scratch.”

Kodak also shared a photo on Instagram of his injured leg. “Minor Incident Over The Weekend But All Praise To YAHWEH,” the rapper wrote on Saturday (Feb. 19), adding that he purchased a new $3 million mansion for his mother.

In the snapshot, Kodak is standing next to another man with a similar leg injury. It’s unclear if that individual was also involved in the Feb. 11 shooting.

According to video published by TMZ, Kodak was posing for photos with a group of people when fighting broke out, ultimately escalating in the gunfire. The LAPD gave a statement that two of the men had been transported to local hospitals by ambulance, while the other two had driven themselves.

Following the shooting, Kodak’s lawyer gave an update on social media about the rapper’s condition.

“There was an unprovoked attack on an individual kodak was with, when security and kodak came to his aid, several shots were fired at them by an unidentified assailant,” attorney Bradford Cohen wrote on Instagram. “Luckily, this was all caught on video. Kodak was struck in the leg. It was not life threatening, he will make a full recovery and he is in stable condition.”

The shooter has not yet been identified, and the LAPD has asked that any witnesses come forward to help solve the case.

Earlier, Bieber had hosted a private concert at West Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center as part of the city-wide celebration in the lead-up to the 2022 Super Bowl. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the pop star, his wife Hailey Bieber, Khloe Kardashian, Drake and Tobey Maguire were also among the A-listers inside the afterparty, though none were present for the violence.

It’s been two years since the largest free festival and showcase of Louisiana music, food and culture has taken place in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

But that changes in April, when the 2022 French Quarter Festival returns. The coronavirus pandemic forced organizers to cancel the event in 2020 and last year.

“We have worked and waited patiently and now the countdown to our 2022 spring festival has officially begun,” said Emily Madero, president and chief executive of French Quarter Festivals, Inc., the nonprofit that produces the event.

“We are returning strong with over 1,800 local musicians, more than 50 chefs and restaurants, new interactive fan experiences, and evening programming across the city. FQFI is proud to kick off the festival season in New Orleans with a truly authentic celebration and we welcome everyone to join us for an unforgettable four days.”

Thousands of people are expected to fill the French Quarter, from the Old U.S. Mint to Woldenberg Park along the Mississippi Riverfront, to hear more than 260 acts that will perform on the festival’s 20 stages from April 21 through April 24. The event will kick off three straight weeks of music as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is set to launch the following two weekends at the Fair Grounds Race Course.

Singer Tarriona “Tank” Ball was on hand to help announce the festival’s springtime revival, The Times Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.

“I love the food, I love the people, I love how open and free it is,” Ball said, beaming. “We’re happy to be back.”

Ball, of the Grammy-nominated group Tank and the Bangas, joins a roster of artists scheduled to perform including Irma Thomas, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, the Soul Rebels, Jon Cleary & the Absolute Monster Gentlemen, Amanda Shaw, Chubby Carrier, Little Freddie King, John Boutte, Jeremy Davenport and singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones, who will be making her festival debut.

Other artists performing for the first time include Loose Cattle, the Americana band led by Tony Award-winning actor and part-time New Orleans resident Michael Cerveris; the Lilli Lewis Project; Da Truth Brass Band; Gumbeaux Juice; the Electric Yat Quartet; Notel Motel and Cuban-born percussionist Alexey Marti.

The music will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The complete schedule is to be released in late March.

General admission is free, but VIP packages are available at $129 per day or $399 for the four-day weekend.

More than 50 local restaurants will supply the festival’s food booths.

In both 2020 and 2021, the French Quarter Festival, like the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, postponed its usual springtime festival to the fall, in the hopes that COVID infection rates would die down. Also like Jazz Fest, the French Quarter Fest ended up canceling its fall dates as well.

But about 1,500 musicians and gig workers contracted for last years festival ended up receiving a partial payment anyway. Those payments were funded by a $150,000 donation from Chevron, the French Quarter Festival’s main sponsor. Jazz Fest also paid musicians a percentage of their original fees last year.

Acts that were supposed to play in 2020 and 2021 were given “first priority” when this year’s French Quarter Festival festival was booked, Madero said.

Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday (Feb. 20) and is experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms, Buckingham Palace said, adding that she still plans to carry on working. The diagnosis prompted concern and get-well wishes from across Britain’s political spectrum for the famously stoic 95-year-old.

Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and a fixture in the life of the nation, the queen reached the milestone of 70 years on the throne on Feb. 6, the anniversary of the 1952 death of her father, King George VI. She will turn 96 on April 21.

The palace said the queen, who has been fully vaccinated and had a booster shot, would continue with “light” duties at Windsor Castle over the coming week.

“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines,” the palace said in a statement.

People in the U.K. who test positive for COVID-19 are now required to self-isolate for at least five days, although the British government says it plans to lift that requirement for England this week.

Both the queen’s eldest son Prince Charles, 73, and her 74-year-old daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall contracted COVID-19 earlier this month. Charles has since returned to work. There are also thought to be several recent virus cases among staff at Windsor Castle, where the queen is staying.

Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases expert at the University of East Anglia, said the queen would likely be given one of several antiviral drugs that have been approved in the U.K. to treat COVID-19.

“If you do get them early enough, it does reduce the risk of severe disease developing, so I would imagine any doctor for a patient in their 90s would be considering giving these antivirals,” he said.

A host of senior British politicians sent get-well messages on Sunday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted: “I’m sure I speak for everyone in wishing Her Majesty The Queen a swift recovery from COVID and a rapid return to vibrant good health.”

Health Secretary Sajid Javid wrote that he was “Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a quick recovery,” while opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer wished the queen “good health and a speedy recovery. Get well soon, Ma’am.”

Elizabeth has been in robust health for most of her reign and has been photographed riding a horse as recently as 2020. In the past year she has been seen using a walking stick, and in October she spent a night in a London hospital for unspecified tests.

The queen’s doctors ordered her to rest after that and she was forced to cancel appearances at several key events, including Remembrance Sunday services and the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland in November.

This month she returned to public duties and has held audiences both virtually and in person with diplomats, politicians and senior military officers. During one exchange caught on camera last week, she walked slowly with a stick and said “as you can see I can’t move” in apparent reference to her leg.

The queen delivered two televised messages to the nation early in the pandemic in 2020, and has sought to lead by example. She let it be known she had been vaccinated, and last year sat alone during the funeral of her husband of 72 years, Prince Philip, because of coronavirus restrictions.

Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, said members of the royal family are probably more concerned than the queen about her situation.

“I would guess that she will be matter-of-fact about the diagnosis in a way perhaps that the people around her are less matter-of-fact,” he said.

The queen has a busy schedule over the next few months of her Platinum Jubilee year, and is scheduled to attend in-person public engagements in the coming weeks, including a diplomatic reception at Windsor on March 2 and the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on March 14.

On March 29, she has a remembrance service at Westminster Abbey for Philip, who died in April 2021 at 99.

Public celebrations of the Platinum Jubilee are scheduled over a long weekend June 2-5, with festivities including a military parade, a day of horse racing and neighborhood parties.

The queen is the latest monarch from around the world to catch COVID-19. Queen Margrethe of Denmark, 82, and Spain’s King Felipe VI, 54, both tested positive for the illness earlier in February and had mild symptoms.

Her diagnosis comes after a difficult week for Britain’s royal family.

On Tuesday the queen’s second son, Prince Andrew, settled a U.S. lawsuit brought by a woman who claimed he had sexually abused with her when she was 17 and traveling with the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew strenuously denied the claim by Virginia Giuffre. He agreed in a settlement to make a substantial donation to his accuser’s charity.

On Wednesday, London’s Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into allegations that people associated with one of Prince Charles’ charities offered to help a Saudi billionaire secure honors and citizenship in return for donations.
