Review: Doechii delivers a hip hop master class at Lollapalooza
No one is having a better year than Doechii. The Florida rapper, 'The Swamp Rula,' released her critically-acclaimed mixtape 'Alligator Bites Never Heal' in August 2024 and hasn't hit the brakes since, taking home the Grammy for best rap album — only the second woman to do so— as well as gracing runways in New York and Paris and putting on some of the most dynamic live performances on and off screen. Bringing us to her Saturday night Lollapalooza set on the T-Mobile stage. With respect to Rüfüs Du Sol, Doechii should've headlined. Welcoming thousands to Doechii's School of Hip Hop, complete with a giant, funhouse-style boombox center stage, she rapped, writhed, and twerked circles around a troupe of dancers (delivering choreography that would make the great, ballroom pioneer Willi Ninja proud) and delivered lessons in bars, flow, genre, scratching and word play for just under an hour. Teasing her own headlining 'Live From the Swamp Tour' by the end, she left everyone wanting more. Doechii is one of a kind. With a looming, unbodied voice ringing out to encourage her ascent throughout her performance, Doechii, grounded by DJ Miss Milan, wielded the power of mania, tension, drama, and queer joy like a spear, piercing any posturing or pretension to free herself and her onstage classmates/dancers from the tyranny of self-doubt and limitations. One of the most versatile vocalists in today's mainstream, she oscillated seamlessly from growled, ruthless rhyme ('Nissan Altima,' 'Nosebleeds,' 'Catfish') and full-throated screams to smooth melodies and big crescendos, like on 'Anxiety.' For the house-flecked 'Alter Ego' — during which she referenced her infamous Met Gala 'umbrella incident' during her outfit change — she welcomed former City Girl member JT to the stage after hinting at a special guest in the days leading up to her Lolla debut. Both women were beaming from the big screens and the fields of the south end of Grant Park were awash in flailing hands and fans snapping in the air. Black girl magic, indeed. With her signature extra-long braids and head-to-toe DSquared2 custom outfits, Doechii covered every inch of that stage bathed in adulation. Classic hip hop and pop samples were woven into interludes throughout her set, including 'Pull Over' by Trina, Doug E. Fresh's 'La Di Da Di' and Beyonce's 'America Has a Problem.' Before delivering her megahit 'Denial is a River,' the unbodied voice — taking a kinder tone— spoke about how every master of something starts as a student. That the importance and interconnection of studying and honoring what you're choosing to dedicate yourself to is just as important as the final result. Then she appeared again. An icon born — the self-proclaimed 'hip hop Madonna,' 'trap Grace Jones,' making all the hard work look effortless, and so damn fun.

Coldplay's Grammy-Winning Song Triples Its Sales In One Week
Coldplay's catalog has been climbing steadily for several weeks now, driven up and up by a mix of the momentum generated by the band's ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour, as well as several moments of virality. During the latest leg of the trek, one of Coldplay's older tunes, 'Sparks,' unexpectedly picked up steam on TikTok, becoming a win on the charts thanks to renewed exposure. Around the same time, a kiss cam inadvertently exposed an affair between the CEO and head of HR at a company, and that saga has remained in the news ever since. Amidst all that excitement, several Coldplay classics have bounded up various Billboard charts, and one of the band's most successful singles has returned to a new peak position – and it almost gives the group another No. 1. 'Viva La Vida' Returns to a Pair of Charts 'Viva La Vida' reappears on a pair of rankings in the United States this week, breaking back onto both the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart and the Alternative Streaming Songs tally. The smash lands at No. 14 on the streaming-only list, missing its previously-set high point by just one spot, and it performs significantly better when it comes to purchases. 'Viva La Vida' reenters the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart at No. 2, reaching a new all-time peak. Only 'Punkrocker' by Teddybears and Iggy Pop, which opened in first place last frame, blocks the Grammy-winning track from ruling. Half a Dozen No. 1 Smashes Coldplay has already earned six No. 1 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart. The group has previously led the charge on this tally with 'My Universe' alongside BTS, 'A Sky Full of Stars,' 'We Pray' alongside Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and Tini, 'Midnight' and 'Paradise.' Another No. 2 Hit 'Viva La Vida' is Coldplay's ninth single to peak in the runner-up spot on this ranking. That collection of near-chart-toppers includes familiar tracks like 'Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall,' 'Hymn for the Weekend,' 'Higher Power,' and 'All My Love,' among others. Sales Grew By More Than 200% Sales of 'Viva La Vida' skyrocketed recently, growing more than 200% from one frame to the next. According to Luminate, the former Hot 100 champion sold just under 500 copies one week, and then almost 1,600 the following frame. At the moment, Coldplay fills four spaces on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, and all of those tunes are mounting comebacks.

JP Saxe's North American tour cancelled over low ticket sales despite online appeal
TORONTO — A Toronto singer-songwriter who was set to tour North America this fall says he's cancelled his series of concerts over sluggish ticket sales and the high cost of life on the road. JP Saxe took to social media this week, saying that if he didn't sell about 20,000 tickets to his upcoming Make Yourself at Home tour within 48 hours, it would likely be cancelled. In a follow-up video, he says 2,000 more tickets were sold, but it wasn't enough to save the tour. Saxe says he's grateful for the extra sales, that tickets will be fully refunded and he's looking to make sure similar cancellations never happen again. The Grammy-nominated musician, best known for his 2019 single "If the World Was Ending" with Julia Michaels, was set to play more than 25 dates, including Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver. The cancellation comes as live music faces mass pressure, compounded by a shaky economy, years of inflation and concert ticket prices that — in many cases — have skyrocketed by hundreds of dollars this year. "Those 2,000 tickets were a reminder ... of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together, and this really was the nicest the internet has ever been to me," he said in a video posted to social media platform TikTok. "I'm grateful to each one of you who bought a ticket, and I'm really sorry." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025. The Canadian Press Sign in to access your portfolio
