Ha*Ash is hitting the road again…

The Mexican-American Latin pop duo from Lake Charles, Louisiana, comprised of sisters Hanna Nicole and Ashley Grace, will launch its No Me Hablen de Amor – Gira 2027, a tour spanning 18 cities across the U.S. and Canada.

Ha*Ash  The trek kicks off on April 20 in Toronto.

Promoted by Live Nation, the new tour from the popular duo will stop in cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Houston and New York, among others, before wrapping up on May 22 in Miami.

It follows their 2024-25 HAASHVILLE tour, which sold over 66,000 tickets and featured 16 sold-out shows across the U.S. and Canada, according to a press release from Live Nation.

“After everything we experienced with HAASHVILLE, we couldn’t wait to be back with our fans,” Ha*Ash said in a statement. “This tour represents a new chapter for us, with new songs, plenty of stories and, of course, all those songs we’ve been singing together for so many years.”

“It’s called No Me Hablen de Amor… although you already know we’ll probably end up talking, and singing about love all night long,” they added.

Tickets for the new tour will be available through a Citi presale starting Tuesday, September  22 at 10:00 a.m. local time.

The general sale begins on Friday (Sept. 25) at 10 a.m. local time on the Live Nation website.

The announcement comes during a new creative phase for Hanna and Ashley.

This year, the duo released the singles “Si Me Hubieras Llamado Ayer” and “¿Qué Le Pongo?”, exploring different sides of heartbreak, from learning to let go and start anew to the emotions that surface when someone from the past unexpectedly returns.

In 2025, Ha*Ash received the Unbreakable Award at the Billboard Latin Women in Music ceremony, celebrating two decades of artistic career as a sister duo that may now be more relevant than ever.

Jhené Aiko Earns First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 with “Westside Whimsy”

It’s a whimsical first for Jhené Aiko.

The 38-year-old Dominican and Spanish American R&B singer, songwriter, musician and record producer has earned her first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart as Westside Whimsy debuts atop the tally dated September 26.

Jhené AikoThe set earned 74,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending September 17, according to Luminate.

It’s the first R&B album by a woman to lead the chart in 2026, and the first to rank at No. 1 since SZA’s SOS was tops for a 13th and final week in May of 2025.

The only other R&B set to hit No. 1 in 2026 was Bruno Mars’ The Romantic (March 14 chart). (R&B albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart.)

Westside Whimsy was released on September 11, after it was announced on September 8. The project boasts collaborations with Ab-Soul, Larry June, Kendrick Lamar, Ohma and Tyga.

Westside Whimsy marks the singer-songwriter’s sixth top 10 overall on the Billboard 200, dating to her first chart entry and top 10, Sail Out, which debuted and peaked at No. 8 in November 2013.

The new set is Aiko’s first full-length studio album since 2020’s Chilombo, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 and was later nominated for album of the year at the Grammy Awards.

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 Luminate. 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 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Of Westwide Whimsy’s 74,000 first-week equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 70,000 (equaling 71.33 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart), album sales comprise 3,500 (it debuts at No. 25 on Top Album Sales; it was only available to purchase digitally, as physical editions are due in January) and TEA units comprise 500.

Aiko is the second act in 2026 to wait at least 10 years from a Billboard 200 chart debut to a first No. 1. Aiko went 12 years and 10 months from her debut with Sail Out (Nov. 30, 2013-dated chart) until her first leader. Earlier this year, Megadeth landed its first No. 1 with its self-titled set — nearly 40 years after the metal act’s chart debut in 1986.

The last soloist to wait longer for a first No. 1 was Andrea Bocelli in 2018: a little more than 20 years for his first leader, Sì. The last woman to wait longer than Aiko was Solange: 13 years and eight months between her chart debut in February 2003 and her first leader with A Seat at the Table in October 2016.

Ismael Cruz Córdova has landed a rico role…

The 39-year-old Puerto Rican actor has joined the cast of René “Residente” Pérez Joglar’s feature film screenwriting and directing debut, Porto Rico.

Ismael Cruz CórdovaCameras are officially rolling in the Dominican Republic on the film starring Benito “Bad Bunny” Martínez Ocasio, Viggo Mortensen and Edward Norton.

Cruz Córdova is one of 11 new additions to the cast. Others include: Richard Gadd, Rhenzy Feliz, Daniel Brühl, Latin music icon Rubén Blades, Alberto Guerra, Marcel Ruiz, Arian Cartaya, Óscar Jaenada, Carmen Machi and Luis Tosar.

From a screenplay by Alexander Dinelaris and Residente, Porto Rico is an epic Caribbean western and historical drama inspired by true events. The film blends historical scope with a visceral, lyrical narrative exploring Puerto Rico’s origins.

The screenplay is based on the life of Puerto Rican revolutionary José Maldonado Román, known as Águila Blanca, set in the late 19th century. Maldonado Román fought against colonialism by leading a gang of ex-convicts to vindicate Puerto Rico as it sought its identity as a country.

It will also cover the 1898 U.S.A. takeover of Puerto Rico from Spain, which saw the renaming of the island as Porto Rico.

Norton and Mortensen, both of whom are fluent in Spanish, are playing roles connected to their country of origin. And while the production lost a Spaniard in Bardem, three new Spanish natives are part of the cast: Jaenada, Machi and Tosar.

Further details regarding who the new actors will play are under wraps.

Behind the camera, the creative team features major award winners and nominees: cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle, production designer David Crank and costume designer Anna Terrazas.

Pérez Joglar and Erick Douât produce Porto Rico for 1868 Studios alongside Norton, Bill Migliore, and Michael Bederman for Class 5 Films. The film is backed by Live Nation Studios, Class 5 Films, and strategic partners including the José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones Initiative, Mike and Sukey Novogratz, Henry R. Muñoz III, Ric Elias, and Noah Assad. Additional strategic partners include HarbourView Equity Media Group, Talipot Studio, and Wieden+Kennedy Entertainment.

Los Dos de Tamaulipas Earn Third No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay Chart with “La Clika”

Los Dos de Tamaulipas have clik-ed on the Billboard charts…

One of the fastest-rising acts in Regional Mexican music, celebrated for their authentic norteño sound, the sibling duo has notched its third No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart as “La Clika” climbs 5-1 on the September 19 dated tally.

Los Dos de TamaulipasAfter spending 18 weeks and counting in the Hot Latin Songs chart’s top 10 with “Ayúdame,” the twin brothers extend their chart run success with its third champ on Regional Mexican Airplay — and the second from the album Expansión.

The new No. 1 follows “El Chavalón,” a one-week ruler last March.

Released on AfinArte, “La Clika” leads Regional Mexican Airplay fueled by a 24% growth in audience impressions, to 6.1 million, earned in the United States, during the tracking week ending September 10, according to Luminate.

The song rockets from No. 5 to No. 1, knocking Chuyin’s “Pues Qué Le Hago?” to No. 19, after one week on top.

The latter’s 18-position plunge marks the second-biggest drop in the nearly 32-year history of the Regional Mexican Airplay chart — and of 2026. Banda Carnaval’s “De Nuestro Amor No Queda Nada” holds the record for the steepest, falling from No. 1 to 21 in June, while Duelo’s “Te Cura El Tiempo” dropped 1-16, in May.

With its new ruling result, Los Dos de Tamaulipas becomes the fourth group comprised of siblings to achieve three or more No. 1s on Regional Mexican Airplay, following Los Ángeles Azules, Los Temerarios and Los Dos Carnales.

Here’s the list of all the sibling-based groups with at least one chart-topper since the chart launched in 1994:

Artists, No. 1s
Los Ángeles Azules, eight
Los Temerarios, seven
Los Dos Carnales, four
Los Dos de Tamaulipas, three
Eslabon Armado, two
Los Alegres de la Sierra, one
Yahritza y Su Esencia, one

Elsewhere, Los Dos de Tamaulipas also adds a third top 10 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where “La Clika” rallies 11-3.

Meanwhile, in addition to “La Clika” climbing 31-19 on Hot Latin Songs, parent album Expansión keeps winning as two other tracks make progress: As mentioned, “Ayúdame” — in its 18th week in the top 10 — is at No. 4, and “Gastando Verdes” surges 40-32.
