The 2020 Video Music Awards, hosted by Keke Palmer, kicked off the show by acknowledging “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman, who died last week after a four-year battle with colon cancer at 43. Palmer said, “we dedicate tonight’s show to a man whose spirit touched so many. He is a true hero, not just onscreen, but in everything he did. His impact lives forever.”

Amid the global coronavirus pandemic, a live audience was not featured.  The show’s performances were held at locations all over New York City, with the first performance of the night from The Weeknd, who performed “Blinding Lights” at Hudson Yards in NYC. BTS sang their first all English language language single, “Dynamite,” and Miley Cyrus performed her latest track, “Midnight Sky.”

The first award of the night for best collaboration went to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande for their hit single “Rain of Me.” Gaga was honored with the first ever Tricon Award, and also won the award for ‘Artist of the Year.’  Taylor Swift won the Best Direction VMA for her 2020 directorial debut, ‘The Man.’

Taylor Swift’s Folklore is spending it’s fifth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, tying Lil Baby’s My Turn for the most weeks atop the list in 2020. Folklore is also the first album to rule for five weeks in a row at No. 1 since Drake’s Scorpion back in 2018.

If Folklore logs a sixth week at No. 1, it will have the most weeks at No. 1 for any album since Drake’s Views held onto the top spot for 13 total weeks at No. 1 in 2016. Further, Folklore would be the first album with six weeks in a row at No. 1 since Views, which spent its first nine weeks at No. 1.

tmp1eb38f12-90d5-462b-b832-d044e19c4a43-jpg

Netflix has canceled Altered Carbon after two seasons. The sci-fi series premiered on the streaming service in 2018 and aired its second season in February, while an anime movie that takes place before the events of season 1 was released on March 19. 

Altered Carbon, based on the 2002 novel by English author Richard K. Morgan, was created by Laeta Kalogridis.  The show follows a former soldier turned investigator Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman in season 1, Anthony Mackenzie in season 2) solving a murder in a world where consciousness can be transferred to different bodies. The series also starred James Purefoy, Martha Higareda, Chris Conner, Dichen Lachman, Ato Essandoh, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Lela Loren, Simone Missick, and Torben Liebrecht.

 Altered Carbon‘s official cancellation comes just days after Netflix canceled The Society and I Am Not Okay With This. Although Netflix executives were pleased with the performances of the shows, the uncertainty around production dates and budget increases due to the coronavirus pandemic contributed to the cancellations.

Billie Eilish made her debut at NPR’s famous Tiny Desk, accompanied by her brother, Finneas.

The pop star kicked off her mini-set with her latest single “My Future,” which she played on the keyboard.  Eilish said in between songs, “So obviously, we are not actually at Tiny Desk, because this is a cardboard cut-out of it. But it’s still real, it’s just not in-person real. Quarantine’s been weird; I know you all feel the same. It’s been weird, we don’t know how long it’s gonna go. There’s barely anything that feels like there’s any hope in, but I think the future is something to be super hopeful in, and the unknown and what is to come…

Eilish and her brother closed out their performance with 2019’s “Everything I Wanted.”
