As P iso 21 and Maluma 's collaboration "Más De La Una" rises 14-10 on Billboard 's Latin Rhythm Airplay chart (dated April 10), Piso 21 nabs its second top 10, while Maluma collects his 21st.

"Más De La Una" hops to the top 10 a week after El Amor En Los Tiempos Del Perreo ,  Piso 21's third studio album, debuted at No. 9 on Latin Pop Albums. The song is the set's seventh single. It climbs Latin Rhythm Airplay with 5.67 million in audience impressions, up 27%, earned in the week ending April 4, according to MRC Data, which also pushes the collaboration 23-16 on the overall Latin Airplay chart.

Piso 21 claims its second top 10 after "Déjala Que Vuelva," featuring Manuel Turizo, peaked at No. 7 on March 2018. In between, the group posted a top 20 tune ("La Vida Sin Ti," No. 17 high, October 2018).

Maluma, meanwhile, banks his 21st top 10, 17 of which landed atop Latin Rhythm Airplay, dating back to "Borro Casssette," the four-week champ in 2015. In addition to "Más De La Una," Maluma is also in the top 10 with his former No. 1 "Hawai," with The Weeknd, at No. 5

Elsewhere, "Más" gains traction on Latin Pop Airplay , lifting 6-5 -- its highest peak since the song debuted at No. 20 (December 2020). Over on Hot Latin Songs , which blends airplay, digital sales and streaming data, "Más" ascends 39-35 despite a dip in sales and streams.

Piso 21's 'El Amor En Tiempos Del Perreo' Enters Latin Pop Albums Chart's Top

Piso 21 secures its second top 10 on the Latin Pop Albums chart as El Amor En Los Tiempos Del Perreo arrives at No. 9 on the April 3-dated survey.

El Amor starts with 2,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending March 25, according to MRC Data. The bulk of the album's opening sum stem from streaming-equivalent album (SEA) units, as the songs on the album earned 2.1 million streams in its first tracking week.The pop-urban flavored set was released March 18 via Warner Latina.

The set is a follow-up to the quartet's sophomore studio album Ubuntu , the Colombian act's first entry on any Billboard album chart (No. 5 peak, May 2018) when Juan David Castaño, one of the founding members, was still on board. El Amor En Tiempos Del Perreo , now with David Lorduy Hernández (Lorduy) as Cataño's successor, marks the group's first Latin Pop Albums entry in almost three years.

"The pandemic was a totally different challenge that required each of us to finish the album from our individual homes," the band's Pablo Mejía tells Billboard . "We each recorded voices and guitars separately in our own home studios, and would send everything over to Dim (David Escobar)."

"The most challenging aspect of the entire album process was choosing which songs would make it on the album from so many good ones," Lorduy continues. "We enjoyed the process, learning every day in each session from the different producers and composers, but the main challenge was to make sure that each song sounded different."

The set was preceded by three songs on Latin Pop Airplay : "Una Vida Para Recordar," with Myke Towers (No. 15 peak, Sept. 2019); "Querida," with Feid (No. 12 high, Aug. 2020); and "Más De La Una,"  with Maluma, which peaks at No. 6 on the current chart. The latter is Piso 21's highest charting title on any Billboard Latin airplay chart since "Déjala Que Vuelva," with Manuel Turizo, in March 2018 (No. 6 high).

"The truth is that we make music for the public and it fills us with joy and it's exciting to know that the music is connecting and is making numbers and is reaching people," Mejía adds. "We are very grateful for what we have, and we are very happy with the fact that our dreams are being fulfilled, it is a huge blessing."

The 16-track effort includes a varicolored set of collaborators, from Maluma, Black Eyed Peas and Christian Nodal, to Myke Towers, De La Ghetto, Zion & Lennox, Lalo Ebratt, and more.

"'El Amor En Los Tiempos Del Perreo' is the song that defines Piso 21 at the moment," Pablo comments. "It is the middle point between the perreo tracks and the romantic tracks. Regarding the collaborations, we admire all of them, they are artists that we respect and it's an honor to have them in our album."

2021 Concerts & Festivals Canceled Due to COVID-19 | Billboard

When the coronavirus pandemic hit in early 2020, some musicians and festivals began rescheduling for early 2021, in the hopes that things would be under control by then. But with COVID-19 still raging around the world and the vaccine rollout going slower than anticipated, even those rescheduled shows are being delayed once more.

Billboard has compiled an ongoing list of 2021 tours and festivals that have been postponed or canceled due to the ongoing global health crisis. Here they are in alphabetical order.

The band announced Jan. 12 that they were canceling all 2021 shows . Said the band: "These are incredibly difficult times for a lot of people, and until we can be sure that we will be able to play shows in a way that is safe for our fans and crew, we have decided the best course of action is to cancel our touring so that, where possible, everyone can get their tickets refunded sooner rather than later."

The rock band rescheduled its 2021 European tour to June and July 2022. "Due to current conditions and for the safety of our fans, the 2021 European Tour has been rescheduled to 2022," the band said in a statement .

The festival called off its 2021 event on Feb. 22. "The health and safety of our entire community is always our top priority, and there was no appropriate scenario under which we could provide the Boston Calling experience you love and deserve," the event shared on its website and social media. "While we are sad to go another year without the festival, we have set our sights on 2022 – mark your calendar for Memorial Day weekend." Ticketholders who want refunds must request them by March 8 , 5 p.m. ET; tickets will otherwise be honored for the 2022 festival.

The festival announced on March 30 that the 2021 edition originally set for July would not be moving forward. However, organizers noted in the statement that Pearl Jam and Duran Duran would remain the headliners when the event returns in July 2022.

Organizers announced on March 8 that the 2021 summer event would not be happening due to the pandemic, but that it would return July 21-22, 2022, at Paul Brown Stadium. For information on tickets to next year's event and/or refunds, visit CincyMusicFestival.com .

The Country Music Association canceled its annual festival for the second year in a row on March 2, but noted that they were planning a 2022 comeback. Per the statement: "We still face several challenges that prevent us from bringing our fans around the world the CMA Fest experience they have come to expect. But rest assured, we have already started planning what will be the most epic celebration of country music next summer."

The annual festival had originally planned to return in April after canceling the 2020 festival, but announced Jan. 29 that it was off this year as well . New dates were not announced.

Deadline had previously explained that Neill Blomkamp had wanted to make this film for a long time. The screenplay has always been signed by the author and the cast includes only Canadian actors and a strong sci-fi VFX component, in line with the director's cinematic poetics.

Blomkamp is working on District 10, the sequel to the cult film District 9 that made it known to the general public: Blomkamp said that the screenplay for the project was written by him, Terri Tatchell and Sharlto Copley. Finally, the director has another film in the pipeline, Inferno with Taylor Kitsch, already ready before the arrival of the coronavirus but still unreleased due to the numerous delays in distribution.
