The Billboard Top 40 just went rap-free for the first time in 35 years.

This follows the departure of Kendrick and SZA’s “luther” from the chart this week after 46 weeks total... 13 of those at No. 1.

This isn’t about talent or creativity drying up. Billboard’s recurrent rules automatically remove songs that have charted for 26+ weeks and fall below No. 25—which is exactly what happened to “luther.” But it does mark a shift in how rap is performing commercially compared to five years ago.

Producers: this is your moment. The lane is wide open. What comes next could be up to you!

📺💔 MTV Signs Off After 44 Years of Music, Memories, and Madness 🎶
What started in 1981 with the words “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll” has finally gone silent.
MTV — the channel that changed music, culture, and youth forever — has officially gone off the air after 44 iconic years.
From the first video (“Video Killed the Radio Star”) to the golden era of TRL, Unplugged, and The Real World, MTV wasn’t just a network — it was a revolution. It gave us the soundtrack of generations, discovered legends, and turned pop culture into a living, breathing experience.
But as streaming took over and social media reshaped entertainment, the music channel that once defined cool slowly faded into nostalgia.
Still, for millions who grew up with it —
MTV will always be more than television.
It was rebellion. Identity. Youth itself. 💿⚡
Goodbye, MTV. Thanks for the memories — and the music. 🎤

Our Story

FOUNDED BY SCOTT SMOKIN’ SILZ, WITH ONE FOCUS, TO SHATTER THE STANDARD OF WHAT PEOPLE WOULD EXPECT FROM A DJ ENTERTAINMENT SERVICE.

The Hot Mix Entertainment difference truly is our unique – boutique influenced approach to event design, without using outdated techniques, cheesy interaction skits, pre-set playlists or shiny blow up props at our functions. Hot Mix was created and managed by real DJs, with solid history in the nightlife, remix production and radio mixshow industry areas, who are incredibly creative, talented, passionate and of course dynamic. For us… every event is very different, and we truly believe that you deserve a unique experience that reflects your style, your tastes and what you envision as perfect.

We do cool things for cool people, and pride ourselves on not doing the same thing over and over at our events. When you take our approach and blend it with our incredible staff of full time (yes, full time career) entertainment professionals - magic happens for our couples, clients, groups and guests of honor.
