Selena Gomez’s Collaboration with Benny Blanco & The Marias Reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Airplay Chart

Posted on August 20, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez has nothing to be triste about…

Four months after its No. 1 debut on Billboard’s inaugural Hot Latin Pop Songs chart, the 33-year-old Mexican American actress and singer’s track “Ojos Tristes,” featuring benny blanco and The Marias, tops an airplay chart for the first time, as the song jumps 2-1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart.

“Ojos Tristes” claims the No. 1 spot with 8.3 million audience impressions earned in the United States during the August 8-14 tracking week, according to Luminate; that’s a 21% growth from the prior week.

“Ojos Tristes” first bowed at No. 1 on the introductory Hot Latin Pop Songs chart dated April 12, largely fueled by 8.7 million official on-demand U.S. streams. The chart employs the same methodology as the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart, where streaming data, airplay audience and digitals sales are included into its formula.

During that chart-topping week, the three-way collab also generated 1,000 downloads and retained its spot at the summit on Latin Digital Songs Sales, despite a substantial 40% decline in sales.

Now, four months later, “Ojos Tristes” has become the biggest song on Latin pop stations across the U.S. after a 17-week journey to the top.

The achievement matches with Farruko’s “Cables Cruzados” (February 22), marking it the longest trek to the top on Latin Pop Airplay in 2025 and the slowest ascent since Carlos Vives and Juanes’ “Las Mujeres” also took 17 weeks to claim the top slot in December 2023.

Gomez finds her third leader on the chart, following her featured turn on DJ Snake’s “Taki Taki,” which also features Ozuna and Cardi B (2018) and “Baila Conmigo,” with Rauw Alejandro (2021).

As for benny blanco and The Marias, they each claim their first No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay through “Ojos Tristes,” the fourth single from Gomez’s and blanco’s collaborative project, I Said I Love You First. The set took the pair to a No. 2 debut on the overall Billboard 200 (April 5 list).

Building on its success atop the Latin Pop Airplay chart, “Ojos Tristes” makes progress on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where it climbs from No. 6 to No. 3, a new peak. This is Gomez’s highest position on the chart since her No. 1-peaking “Baila Conmigo” in 2021.

Returning to where “Ojos Tristes” first began its reign, the song secures a 13th week at No. 1 on Hot Latin Pop Songs.

Hulu Releases First Trailer for Season 5 of Selena Gomez’s “Only Murders In The Building”

Posted on August 12, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez is feeling mobbed…

Hulu‘s Only Murders In The Building, starring the 33-year-old Mexican American actress and singer, will premiere its fifth season on September 9, and the comedy’s first official trailer is setting up fans for hilarious chaos.

In the Season 4 finale, a new dead victim was revealed: doorman Lester Coluca (Teddy Coluca), a character that had been part of the story since day one. Poor Lester was found deceased in a water fountain just outside the Arconia by the unluckiest trio, Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Mabel Mora (Gomez), Arconia residents who have a knack for getting caught up in murder mysteries.

In the trailer and back in the present day, a police report says Lester’s death was accidental.

However, Charles, Oliver and Mabel know better, so they question everything. They’ve helped investigate four murders thus far, of course, all of which were covered extensively on their hit podcast “Only Murders in the Building.”

One thing everyone can agree on is that Lester died under suspicious circumstances, and it was definitely not an accident. As their investigation begins, their leads take them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond. The trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets that connects powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the mysterious residents of the Arconia, like Howard Morris (Michael Cyril Creighton).

The mobster storyline seems important, as it’s revealed that Lester had a run-in with them the night of his death. Detective Donna Williams (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) steps in and points the trio in the right direction when she discovers a finger someone has left behind. Will the appendage help them nail a killer?

Various previously announced guest stars make their big debut in the trailer including Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, Logan Lerman, Jermaine Fowler and Keegan-Michael Key among others.

It also features the return of Téa Leoni, who first appeared in the final moments of the Season 4 finale. She plays Sofia Caccimelio, wife of Nicky “The Neck” Caccimelio, a missing person with ties to the Caputo crime family.

The trailer implies Charles and Sofia may have had an affair, which makes sense because who can resist Brazzos?

Additional actors returning from prior seasons include Nathan Lane as Teddy Dimas, last seen in Season 2; Richard Kind, who played Vince Fish in Season 4; and Meryl Streep as Oliver’s wife Loretta Durkin, from Seasons 3 and 4. It is as yet unknown if clever series co-creator John Hoffman has found a way to bring back Paul Rudd this season, following appearances in seasons 2 to 4.

Three episodes will be released on premiere night, with new episodes to follow weekly on Tuesdays via Hulu.

Selena Gomez Partners with Oreo to Release New Horchata-Flavored Cookie & Exclusive Remix Single

Posted on June 17, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez is giving “America’s Best-Loved Cookie” some Latin flavor.

The 32-year-old Mexican American singer/actress has partnered with Oreo to release a new flavor — and a song to go with it.

The exclusive cookie flavor was dreamt up by Gomez and the Oreo team, inspired by the “Calm Down” singer’s love of horchata.

The collaborative dessert is a one-of-a-kind sweet-and-spiced flavor combo, featuring a layer of rich chocolate and cinnamon creme all atop a layer of sweetened condensed milk-flavor creme with cinnamon sugar inclusions.

All this is sandwiched between two chocolate cinnamon flavored wafers. Simply put, the flavor is inspired by Gomez’s childhood favorites.

“Horchata is a comforting flavor to me. It brings back many memories with my family and has such a nostalgic experience. It’s always been one of my absolute favorites,” Gomez tells Billboard.

Each cookie is embossed with a design made with her fans in mind.

An exclusive cookie can be found in approximately every three packs that features Selena’s signature a la Willy Wonka. Along with the cookie drop, Gomez and Oreo Brand are dropping an exclusive remix of “I Can’t Get Enough” that’s just as sweet as the cookies themselves.

“This song will always have a special place in my heart for obvious reasons. When Benny [Blanco] and I were working on our album, we knew the song was part of our story and would be included on the album,” Gomez elaborates of her collab album I Said I Love You First with her fiancé, Blanco. “We wanted to give the fans something fun to go with the Oreo collaboration and this song made the most sense thematically. The remix feels a bit more playful than the original. I really like the faster tempo too. I think it goes well with the summer and being outside.”

Now here’s the most important info: How does Gomez eat her Oreos? Everyone has a specific way of doing it, and the singer’s method is quite unique. “For some reason, I love to eat them with a fork dunked in milk,” she shares. “Not sure how or why I even started doing it that way. I recently shared a very old photo of me eating one with a fork. Highly recommend trying it.”

Gomez’s limited-edition Oreo cookies arrived on June 2 and will be available only for a limited time, while supplies last.

“I do love Oreo cookies. I only want to do partnerships that are authentic to me. That’s why this partnership from the creation of the cookie, to giving my fans something special with the remix which you can listen to by scanning my signature Oreo cookie,” Gomez says. “In addition, Oreo is making a donation to the Rare Impact Fund, which is incredibly important to me.”

The cookie packs are available worldwide in Canada, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.

Selena Gomez Announces Plans to Release Deluxe Edition of Her Debut Collaborative Album with Fiance Benny Blanco, “I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back”

Posted on May 1, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez has more love to share…

The 32-year-old Mexican American singer/actress and her producer-fiance Benny Blanco have announced plans to release a deluxe edition announced of their debut collaborative album, I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back, on Friday, May 2.

“The deluxe version of my album with @itsbennyblanco is called I Said I Love You First…And You Said It Back and it’s out this Friday, 5/2!” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “There are some new songs, some favorites you might recognize, and reimagined songs from the original album. Can’t wait for you to hear them!”

Among the guests who join them on the beefed-up LP, according to Gomez, are GloRilla, Cigarettes After Sex and DJ Sliink.

Gomez’s announcement included a photo of the original keyhole album cover as well as a candid, casual Polaroid of the two chilling on a couch. Gomez also teased that the video for the song “Talk” will drop on Thursday night (May 1), encouraging fans to “pick out your prom outfit.”

Last week, Blanco posted a video on Instagram of the couple going to the mall to get their prom pictures taken after revealing that Gomez never got to go to her prom.

The video shows Gomez getting ready in a purple ballgown and planting a kiss on her fiancé as they do a classic walk-down-the-stairs dress reveal. In the limo ride to the mall, Blanco excitedly leans out the window of their stretch limo and tells the driver in the lane next to him: “We’re going to prom!”

In March, I Said I Love You First debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Among the guests on the first version were Gracie Abrams on “Call Me When You Break Up,” Charli XCX on “Bluest Flame,” The Marías on “Ojos Tristes” and Tainy and J Balvin on “I Can’t Get Enough.”

Everything’s comin’ up sunsets for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.

The 32-year-old Mexican American actress and her musician fiancé are continuing the rollout of their I Said I Love You First album with another single, “Sunset Blvd.”

Gomez announced the single on Instagram on Tuesday, March 11, alongside a black-and-white selfie of the couple snuggling up together.

“Our first date was on Sunset Blvd, and it’s also the title of our next song together 🖤 Sunset Blvd out March 14 with @itsbennyblanco,” she captioned the post. “P.S. this is our first official photo together.”

Gomez and Blanco recently documented returning to the restaurant where they had their first date on Instagram.

The duo happily cooked up fried shrimp with curry — the meal they had — at Jitlada Restaurant, an authentic Thai food joint on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, with the restaurant’s owner, Sarin “Jazz” Sing.

The couple’s joint album, I Said I Love You First, is set to arrive on March 21. The project features previously released singles “Scared of Loving You” and “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams.

As revealed by the Rare Beauty founder via the tracklist she shared on social media, the rest of the songs are called “I Said I Love You First,” “Younger and Hotter Than Me,” “Ojos Tristes,” “Don’t Wanna Cry,” “Cowboy,” “Bluest Flame,” “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten,” “Do You Wanna Be Perfect,” “You Said You Were Sorry”,” “I Can’t Get Enough” and “Don’t Take It Personally.”

The couple began dating in June 2023, and got engaged late last year. Gomez shared the happy news with a December 11 Instagram carousel featuring her marquise-cut engagement ring, along with the caption, “forever begins now.”
