Happy holidays from Bad Bunny, who announced Thursday that he will release a new album Jan. 5.
“Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which translates to “I should have taken more photos,” is his sixth studio album and follows in his tradition of releasing new music on unexpected dates. His debut album, 2018’s “X 100pre,” arrived around Christmas and 2020’s “El Último Tour del Mundo” near Thanksgiving. The January release date is just before “Día de Reyes,” or Three Kings Day, and is a Sunday — unlike the industry’s standard Friday release date.
The Puerto Rican musician announced the news on Instagram in a short video featuring filmmaker Jacobo Morales. He also released a new single, “Pitorro de coco.”
A day before, Bad Bunny teased a 17-track list on social media, with each song titled “Bomba,” perhaps in reference to the Puerto Rican musical style and dance.
“Debí Tirar Más Fotos” follows 2023’s “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana” (“Nobody Knows What Will Happen Tomorrow”), which was met with mixed reviews.
Carey tune adds new record: Mariah Carey, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Christmas,” just earned herself another gift this year in the form of two new Billboard records.
Carey’s upbeat holiday pop song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” has topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a 17th total week and set a new streaming record, according to the music outlet.
The singer-songwriter surpassed her own record at No. 1 on the multimetric chart, Billboard reported Monday. The 1994 song’s latest peak position gives the five-time Grammy winner her longest career lead on the chart, exceeding her previous 16-week run at No. 1 in 1995 and 1996 with her Boyz II Men duet “One Sweet Day.”
“This is amazing!!!! Will never ever ever ever ever take this for granted,” Carey wrote Monday on her Instagram stories, which featured Billboard’s post about the longest Hot 100 reign. “Merry early Christmas!!!!”
The song also led the Hot 100 chart for a third consecutive week this holiday season, Billboard said, claiming the third-longest run in the chart’s history.
