Welcome to another weekend wrap-up! Let's get started.
KCON, a U.S.-based convention dedicated to everything K-pop has grown to two days of concerts this year, due to swelling interest in K-pop in America. It will take place August 9-10 in downtown Los Angeles, and the artists to perform will be announced soon.
In other news, the BBMAs happened last week and the most noteworthy performance was Michael Jackson's hologram performing "Slave to the Rhythm". I have... mixed feelings about the idea, but both the producers and the audience seemed to love it, so it looks like MJ will be entertaining for years to come.
Case in point, Michael Jackson's new song featuring Justin Timberlake, "Love Never Felt So Good", has cracked the Top 10. This makes Michael Jackson the artist with the longest range of songs in the Top 10, from 1971 to 2014, beating out previous record-holder Carlos Santana. More importantly, it means I have to get my claws into the song soon.
In other record-breaking news, Kid Ink has broken the record for the most weeks at the Number 1 position on the Rap Airplay chart. "Show Me" as of this week has spent 18 weeks at #1, overtaking previous record-holder Juvenile, with "Back That Thang Up" in 1999.
Finally, Marina Toybina, the costume designer for Katy Perry's Prismatic tour, has been interviewed about the different costumes for the tour. Excerpts of the interview can be found here.
