https://www.dn.pt/cultura/interior/amp/drake-bate-recorde-dos-beatles-com-sete-musicas-no-top-10-da-tabela-da-billboard-9576748.html

Citando:
"A lista da Billboard reúne as canções mais ouvidas da semana nos Estados Unidos, por popularidade, compilando dados de vendas e transmissões. Em abril de 1964, os Beatles ocupavam os cinco primeiros lugares do top com os temas Can't Buy Me Love, Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand e Please Please Me.

Mas Drake tem agora sete temas no Top 10 o que é um recorde. O cantor conta agora com 31 êxitos no Top 10, ficando empatado com Rihanna, no terceiro lugar, sendo que à sua frente se encontram os Beatles com 34 êxitos e Madonna com 38."

2018-07: 10 melhores álbuns a solo

Citando:
"After the break-up in 1970 each of the four men struggled to shake off the Beatles, to show that they were more than the band and prove to themselves and naysayers that they could do it on their own. This pressure actually proved fruitful in the early 1970s and explains why most of the albums on this list are from that time period. From endearing pop to bitter vitriol, from themes of tearing down false idols to just trying to put out enjoyable music, these 10 albums not only give us a better idea of their individual contributions to the Beatles but they also help provide insight into their state of mind. It wasn’t until one of these post-Beatles efforts that you could actually understand George’s disillusionment, John’s anger, Paul’s ambition, and Ringo’s desire to collaborate with those who take his contributions seriously. Fanatics will refuse to believe it but some of these albums sit up there with the best Beatles albums. Don’t believe me? Read on and then go listen for yourselves."

2018-07: Paul McCartney e o copyright na UE

Citando:
"The revamp is based on a proposal by the European Commission to take into account the growing role of online platforms. A key committee at the European Parliament subsequently added more muscle to the proposal to give more power to Europe's creative industries.

However, lawmakers on Thursday voted against opening talks with EU countries based on the committee's recommendation. Parliament will now have to revise the proposal for a vote in September before starting talks with EU countries that have already adopted their own position.

McCartney had written an letter to MEPs urging them to take action.

He said: “Music and culture matter. They are our heart and soul.

“The proposed copyright directive will help assure a sustainable future for the music ecosystem and its creators, fans and digital music services alike.”"
