The post Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa Drop Music Video for “Sweetest Pie” appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The Dave Meyers-directed video draws inspiration from the tale of Hansel and Gretel, and Stallion came up with the concept for this visual herself. It’s stylish and gory at the same time, and it shows the two singers luring men into their forest hideaway, where they face dire consequences.
Stallion is no stranger to A-list collaborations, and joining forces with Lipa made total sense for her. She wants to be more organic with her collaborations in the future, but teaming up with the British hitmaker was a no-brainer after hearing how amazing the mashups of their music sounded.
“I felt like [‘Sweetest Pie’] was right because it felt right for both of us … I want us to both really thrive on it and really shine. So when I heard it, I was like, ‘Okay, this is my type of beat, my 808, my drums. But I feel like it’s a good vibe for her,’” Stallion told Zane Lowe.
“Sweetest Pie” will be featured on Stallion’s upcoming second studio album, but she’s yet to share any details about this record.

]]>Beyoncé topped the list of Grammy winners after dominating in four categories—the best rap performance and rap song with the remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage”, the best R&B performance with “Black Parade”, and the best music video with “Brown Skin Girl”. By doing so, she brought her total to 28 wins, tying Quincy Jones as the artists with the second-most wins.
Beyoncé was closely followed by her “Savage” collaborator Megan Thee Stallion, who collected three awards, including the best new artist. The general field was dominated by female artists, as women collected all four big awards of the night.
Taylor Swift became the first female artist to win the album of the year three times thanks to her latest victory with Folklore. Billie Eilish collected the record of the year award with “Everything I Wanted”, while H.E.R. had to beat tough competition to win the song of the year with “I Can’t Breathe”.
The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards took place on March 14th, with Trevor Noah hosting the show.

]]>The post Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion, and Doja Cat Join Forces for “34+35” Remix appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The Stefan Kohli-directed video perfectly captures the experience of having the time of your life with your BFFs. Throughout the video, the three singers can be seen hanging out at a lavish hotel, enjoying some time by the pool, and ordering room service—baked Alaska included.
When it was first released as a single from Grande’s latest studio album Positions, which came out back in late October, “34+35” debuted at no. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This remix gave it a bump on the charts, but it’s yet to reach the no. 1 spot.
This song is the first collaboration between Granda and Megan Thee Stallion, but this isn’t her first collaboration with Doja Cat, with whom she recorded the song “Motive”. Doja Cat previously collaborated with Thee Stallion on the Birds of Prey soundtrack.

]]>Unlike the Billboard Hot 100, which focuses solely on the U.S., this new chart will be based on weekly global streams and download sales from over 200 territories. According to Billboard’s senior vice president, Silvio Pietroluongo, its main goal is to be “reflective of a world view”.
Billboard’s first Global 200 chart was topped by Cardi B’s viral hit “WAP”. This song also topped the Billboard Hot 100 this week, and we’re expecting overlaps between these two charts will be common in the years to come.
In addition to Global 200, Billboard also introduced Billboard Global Excl. U.S. This new chart focuses on all territories outside the United States, and it was topped by Maluma’s “Hawái” during its inaugural week.

]]>Unlike the Billboard Hot 100, which focuses solely on the U.S., this new chart will be based on weekly global streams and download sales from over 200 territories. According to Billboard’s senior vice president, Silvio Pietroluongo, its main goal is to be “reflective of a world view”.
Billboard’s first Global 200 chart was topped by Cardi B’s viral hit “WAP”. This song also topped the Billboard Hot 100 this week, and we’re expecting overlaps between these two charts will be common in the years to come.
In addition to Global 200, Billboard also introduced Billboard Global Excl. U.S. This new chart focuses on all territories outside the United States, and it was topped by Maluma’s “Hawái” during its inaugural week.
