Tate McRae Keeps Her Winning Streak Going With More New No. 1 Hits
Tate McRae scores another chart-topping hit with 'Just Keep Watching,' which debuts at No. 1 on two ... More Billboard dance/electronic lists and reaches No. 33 on the Hot 100. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JULY 11: Tate McRae performs at The Greek Theatre on July 11, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Tate McRae has been on a winning streak for months as she continues the promotional campaign surrounding her latest album, So Close to What. Multiple singles from the collection, as well as one high-profile collaboration with a country superstar, keep pushing her career to new heights. The pop powerhouse's latest release is another big hit, as "Just Keep Watching," taken from the upcoming soundtrack for the F1 movie, arrives on the Billboard charts and earns McRae yet another No. 1. The cut launches at No. 1 on two Billboard rankings this frame. McRae's latest tune opens atop both the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs charts. McRae has previously reached the summit on both tallies, and "Just Keep Watching" adds to her growing total. The Canadian singer has now scored a trio of champions on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs list — an impressive feat considering Billboard only introduced the tally earlier this year. She's landed just half a dozen hits on the roster, and half of them have led the charge. On the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs ranking, the new win doubles her career total of No. 1s and gives her a seventh top 10 smash overall. McRae almost leads the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart as well, but "Just Keep Watching" is forced to settle for the runner-up slot. Instead, "Abracadaver" by Lady Gaga refuses to budge, earning a fifteenth turn at the top, and "Just Keep Watching" follows closely behind. Her collaboration with Regard and Troye Sivan, which dominated for a month in 2021, now stands as her second-highest-charting smash, pushed down within her discography by McRae's F1 track. McRae's new tune also brings her back to the top 40 on the Hot 100, where it revs its engine at No. 33. The cut quickly becomes a streaming success as well, launching at No. 17 on the Streaming Songs tally, and it's a major win on Billboard's global rankings too. This frame, McRae sees two singles chart above "Just Keep Watching" on the Hot 100, giving her a trio of top 40 successes simultaneously. "What I Want" with Morgan Wallen, which debuted at No. 1 just a few weeks back, holds steady at No. 2. "Sports Car," which may be the breakout hit from So Close to What, climbs from No. 25 to No. 22 as radio continues to power its ascent.

Tate McRae review — putting the phwoar back into pop star
Tate McRae has been hyped as her generation's Britney Spears, but as she began an action-packed concert at Dublin's 3Arena, the vibe was more Bob the Builder. The 21-year-old Canadian's set was modelled on a construction site, with scaffolding-like supports under the stage and a fake crane to either side. It wasn't thinkable that McRae might materialise in hi-vis vest, toting a spirit level. She in fact arrived wearing a fluffy cape, quickly discarded to reveal a tight-fitting leotard as she plunged into the slinky R&B bopper Miss Possessive from her new album, So Close to What. Suddenly, the Britney comparisons made sense. Where many modern female artists have embraced the persona of girl next door or wise big sister, McRae is a

Fact-checking viral image: Was Gal Gadot's Walk of Fame star destroyed after protests at her ceremony?
A viral image circulating online appears to show a vandalized Hollywood Walk of Fame star, initially believed to belong to actress Gal Gadot. However, investigations confirm that the image is unrelated to Gadot and instead originates from a promotional event by singer Tate McRae. The confusion arose after a photo showing a damaged star with a hammer beside it went viral on social media, sparking speculation about an act of vandalism targeting Gadot's newly unveiled star. This assumption was fueled by the controversy surrounding her Walk of Fame ceremony, which was disrupted by both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protesters. Demonstrators gathered before the event, holding signs and chanting slogans, causing delays. Law enforcement was present to manage the crowd, though no arrests were reported, according to a spokesperson from the Los Angeles Police Department. While Gadot's ceremony did face disruptions, the viral image of a damaged star is entirely unrelated. Instead, it is part of a creative marketing stunt for Tate McRae's upcoming album, So Close To What. The singer unveiled her tracklist by featuring song titles on a replica of a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The damaged star, which was never officially part of the Walk of Fame, was used symbolically to generate buzz for her album release. This incident highlights the rapid spread of misinformation online. While many assumed Gadot's star was defaced, the truth is far less dramatic. Ultimately, Gadot's Hollywood star remains untouched, and the viral image was simply a clever marketing move by McRae—another reminder of how quickly misinformation can spread.
