Mau P earns his first-ever No. 1 on a Billboard chart this week, as his remix of Tame Impala's 'The Less I Know the Better' jumps 5-1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay. Released in February via Nervous Records, the song hits No. 1 with a 31% surge in plays among 24/7 dance reporters and pop stations' mix show hours, according to Luminate.
The remix reimagines Tame Impala's 2015 psych-pop staple from its album Currents, which ruled the Top Alternative Albums and reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The original track was a fan favorite, reaching No. 35 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and No. 37 on Alternative Airplay.
Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, credited as the sole writer, collects his third No. 1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay, following two smashes with Dua Lipa in 2024: 'Houdini' (four weeks at No. 1) and 'Illusion' (five weeks). He also reached the chart as a writer on Lady Gaga's 'Perfect Illusion' in 2016 (No. 28 peak).
As for Mau P (also known as Maurice West), the Amsterdam-born DJ scores his first No. 1. He previously appeared on Dance/Mix Show Airplay with 'Drugs From Amsterdam' (No. 16 peak; 2023) and 'On Again' (No. 24; 2024). He's also charted four entries on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs: 'Drugs From Amsterdam' (No. 25), 'Gimme That Bounce' (No. 35; 2023), 'Receipts,' with Diplo featuring Gunna (No. 24; 2024), and 'The Less I Know the Better' (No. 14).
Mau P has been active in the house and techno worlds for nearly a decade. He's collaborated with other dance heavyweights, including Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris and Armand van Helden.
Zack Martino, JAYEM and Aviella debut on this week's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with their collaborative single, 'Afterlove.' Released in December on Liftoff Recordings, the song arrives at No. 31, earning the week's highest debut, with a 32% spike in plays.
The song earns Martino his fifth career chart entry, and first since 2020's 'Something About You,' featuring Kifi (No. 33 peak). He first cracked the chart in 2018 with 'Hold On to Me,' which climbed to No. 3.
'Afterlove' is also a milestone for New York City-based DJ JAYEM (real name Justin Mondello), as the song marks his first-ever appearance on Billboard's charts. '[Charting on Billboard has been] a dream of mine I've been longing to achieve ever since I started producing music,' he shared in a post on Instagram. 'It's an honor to be on such a prestigious chart alongside artist[s] I've looked up to my whole career.'
For Aviella, the song earns the singer-songwriter her fourth career entry on Dance/Mix Show Airplay. She topped the chart with her debut hit in 2021, 'Tell Me What You're Thinking.'
Calvin Harris' 'Blessings,' featuring Clementine Douglas, debuts at No. 3 on the latest Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, marking the highest debut of the week. It opens with 2.9 million U.S. streams and 1,000 downloads sold earned in its opening week (May 9-15).
The song earns Calvin Harris his 54th career entry on the chart, and 25th top 10 — the third-most in the chart's history after David Guetta and Kygo (27 each). It's also his record-extending 14th top five hit.
As for Douglas, the song is her third career entry on the chart, after 'Miracle Maker' with Dom Dolla (No. 35 peak; 2022), and 'Asking' with Sonny Fodera and MK (No. 44; 2023).
PinkPantheress' new mixtape Fancy That, released via 300/AG, debuts at No. 4 on the latest Top Dance Albums chart with 14,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week (May 9-15). It also opens at No. 72 on the Billboard 200 and No. 21 on Vinyl Albums.
PinkPantheress has charted two other albums on Billboard's charts, but neither appeared on Billboard's dance rankings: To Hell With It reached No. 73 on the Billboard 200 in 2021 and Heaven Knows peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard 200 in 2023.
The duo's new electronic/ambient project, Tall Tales, debuts at No. 14 on the Top Dance Albums chart with 4,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week.
The album earns Pritchard his second career entry on Top Dance Albums, after his solo album Under the Sun in 2016 (No. 15 peak). It's Yorke's fourth entry, after The Eraser Rmxs (No. 13; 2009), Tomorrow's Modern Boxes (No. 13; 2015) and Anima (No. 1; 2019).

Foo Fighters Are Back With First Song Since 2023 to Celebrate 30th Anniversary
Foo Fighters have returned with their first song since 2023, releasing 'Today's Song' on Wednesday to commemorate the rock band's 30th anniversary. Along with the song, Dave Grohl also shared an extensive letter and audio recording for fans, where Grohl thanked drummer Josh Freese, who was let go from the group back in May, and paid tribute to the band's former longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died back in 2022. More from The Hollywood Reporter What the Hell Happened With the Sean "Diddy" Combs Verdict? 50 Cent, Kesha, Aubrey O'Day and More Stars React to Diddy Verdict: "The Cultural Weight of This Decision Is Immeasurable" Sean "Diddy" Combs Denied Release on Bail After Mogul Was Acquitted of Most Serious Charges 'Over the years, we've had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak,' Grohl said Wednesday. 'Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can't go it alone.' 'It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete,' Grohl continued. 'So we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.' 'Today's Song' is the band's first song since their 2023 album But Here We Are, and it comes following a turbulent few years for Foo Fighters. Hawkins' death devastated the band and their fan base as they lost their longest-tenured drummer. Grohl also drew significant press himself last year after revealing that he had a child outside of his marriage. And then there was Freese's dismissal two months ago. Of Hawkins, Grohl wrote, 'Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever.' 'The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence,' Grohl wrote. 'We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.' Aside from the new song, Foo Fighters are hitting the road for some international dates later this fall, playing in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Oct. 2, Singapore on Oct. 4, Tokyo on Oct. 7, Osaka, Japan, on Oct. 10 and Mexico City on Nov. 14. The letter is available to read in full on the band's website, and the audio of the letter is available below.

‘Uniquely Canadian': Stampede begins with parade led by country star Shania Twain
CALGARY - The Old West will be on full display as thousands clad in tassels, boots and buckles march through city streets today to kick off the Calgary Stampede. Country superstar Shania Twain will saddle up and lead the parade on horseback before performing Saturday at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The Stampede runs until July 13. The 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman' singer, who was raised in Timmins, Ont., last took the stage at the Stampede in 2014. Twain, 59, is country music's top-selling female artist, according to Billboard. She is currently a judge on Citytv's 'Canada's Got Talent.' Her long string of hits includes 'That Don't Impress Me Much,' 'Any Man of Mine' and 'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?' 'I can't think of a better parade marshal,' said Joel Cowley, the Stampede's chief executive. 'We expect to see 300,000-plus lining the streets once again. What a great way to kick off the Calgary Stampede.' People have traditionally arrived hours before the parade begins to get good seats. Stampede Park has been busy for the past week as crews assemble midway rides and concession stands. Gregg Korek with North American Midway Entertainment will be making his 49th appearance at the Stampede. He likens it to getting ready for the prom. 'We're just putting on the corsage right now,' he said. Growing up in Calgary, Korek joined the midway group as a teen. 'I always say I like all of our fairs exactly the same, but I like this one a little bit better because I'm a Calgarian.' Cowley said Stampede attracted almost 1.5 million visitors last year. Of that number, he said about 73 per cent were from the Calgary area. Another nine per cent were from Alberta and 10 per cent were other Canadians. The rest came from the United States or other countries. With Canadians unhappy about tariffs from the U.S., Cowley said domestic visitors could be higher this year. 'It is an international event, and I would think this year we would see a lot of Canadians looking for a Canadian vacation to come here to the Calgary Stampede,' he said. The first Stampede was in 1912, and Cowley said the event stays true to its agricultural roots. 'It's really something that needs to be experienced. At the heart of what we do is agriculture and Western heritage,' he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 4, 2025. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Charo, 74, Makes Claim That She Created the 'Macarena' Dance Alongside Video of Herself Doing the Moves
Charo is claiming that she introduced the iconic "Macarena" song and dance to America Historically, there is some discrepancy over who is responsible for creating the dance "Macarena" was No. 1 on the Billboard chart for 14 weeks in 1996Charo is taking ownership of a dance that took over the world nearly 30 years ago. In the mid 1990s, the "Macarena" dance was so inescapable that Gen Xers and many millennials can still do it to this day. There was nary a school dance, cruise ship or club that didn't include the Los del Río hit and a cavalcade of dancers repeatedly shaking their bodies, extending their arms, then turning their palms up, then placing their hands on their shoulders, cradling their head in their hands momentarily, and moving them to their gyrating hips. Heyyyy, Macarena, Ay! On Wednesday, July 2, the 74-year-old Spanish actress Charo shared an Instagram video of herself performing the famed routine. 'Hola amigos. I want to share with you a little history that I hope you like,' she penned. 'Once upon a time when my cuchi-cuchi was only a kichi-kichi I introduce to America a cute song and dance like aerobic exercise by the name Macarena…" In her native Spanish language, she then encouraged her followers to 'dance, dance, dance' if they're feeling down. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Charo (@officialcharo) Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The story of the song and dance is a little convoluted. In 1993, Los del Río, a Spanish pop duo, recorded the earworm, and several other groups covered it. The song then got a resurgence in 1995 after the Miami-based Bayside Boys remixed it. The following year, the dance craze surrounding the song took off, propelling it to No. 1 on the Billboard chart for 14 weeks. Still, the birth of the "Macarena" dance itself is up for debate: Some claim audience members created it, while most others point to Mia Frye, who choreographed the 1996 music video, which featured people of all races and backgrounds doing the oh-so-memorable routine. Charo, though, believes she brought it to the States after being inspired by Flamenco dancing. In 1996, during Jerry Lewis's MDA Labor Day Telethon, the Tiger by the Tail star even taught the dance to the host, saying, 'I try to teach you Macarena, because it's the No. 1 dance in the world, and I'm the one that started the whole thing.'
