Thania Garcia Karol G’s deeply introspective “Mañana Será Bonito” has made a historic entrance on the albums chart as the first all-Spanish-language record by a female artist to hit No. 1. The collection — which spans pop, rock, reggaeton, Mexican music and electronica — is also the Colombian artist’s first leader on the Billboard 200. All four of Karol’s studio albums have charted on the all-genre Billboard 200, though “Mañana” is the first to enter the top 10 of the list. Before this, Karol’s highest charting effort was her last 2021 record, “KG0516,” which reached a peak of No. 20. Only two other all-Spanish albums have previously led the list, both were by reggaeton titan Bad Bunny (“Un Verano Sin Ti” in 2022 and “El Ultimo Tour del Mundo” in 2020).
‘Unscripted’ Book Authors Provide Insights on Redstone Empire Mess
14.02.2023 - 21:53 / variety.com
Andrew Wallenstein President and Chief Media Analyst What began for a pair of New York Times reporters as an investigation into managerial malfeasance ended up turning into a family drama. While it was the actions of Viacom founder Sumner Redstone and CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves that first attracted James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams to what became their new book, “Unscripted: The Epic Battle for a Media Empire and the Redstone Family Legacy,” it was a third figure who ultimately loomed larger for Stewart. “We had Shari Redstone, the much under-appreciated — to put it mildly — daughter of Sumner Redstone thrust into a world that was not of her choosing, in an attempt to gain control of the companies and the family legacy,” he said on the latest episode of the Variety podcast “Strictly Business.” “So that became the much bigger story. It’s a corporate story, it is a MeToo story, but it’s much bigger than that.”
Listen to the podcast here: As Abrams and Stewart recount in the book, Shari Redstone had a difficult time getting the cooperation of management at Viacom and CBS, in addition to tangling with her own father, with whom she had a complicated relationship, and the women who attempted to gain control of the companies from him. The “Unscripted” authors broke new ground in illuminating the circumstances around the final years of Redstone, who died in 2020 at the age of 97. Sources from the boardrooms of CBS and Viacom, as well as those privy to what went on in the halls of Redstone’s Los Angeles mansion, paint a portrait of dysfunction and greed not previously documented. The book also provides an unsparing look at the downfall of Moonves, who was ultimately undone by a steady stream of sexual misconduct allegations.
