The Queens rapper's monster hit reached the milestone 12 years after its initial release. Nicki Minaj, "Super Bass" Courtesy Photo Just a few months after picking up her seventh competitive MTV Video Music Award (best hip-hop for “Super Freaky Girl”), Nicki Minaj has added yet another music video-related accolade to her collection. On Oct. 26, Minaj’s “Super Bass” officially crossed one billion views on YouTube. “Super Bass” served as the fifth single from Minaj’s blockbuster 2010 debut studio album Pink Friday. Eventually peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Super Bass” became the rapper’s first unaccompanied visit to the ranking’s top 10. In recent years, “Super Bass” has appeared on several Billboard staff lists, including The 100 Best Karaoke Songs of All Time (No. 7) and The 500 Best Pop Songs That Appeared on the Hot 100 (No. 13). The song’s music video also earned Minaj her first of five best hip-hop Moonpeople at the VMAs, the most victories of any artist in that category. Minaj — who is a finalist for top rap female artist at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards — is currently prepping Pink Friday 2, a sequel to the 2010 original that will serve

Since May, YouTube has ramped up its block of ad blockers, and the company has now fully launched this policy worldwide. In a statement today (first shared with The Verge), YouTube said it has “launched a global effort to urge viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience.” The use of ad blockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service. We’ve launched a global effort to urge viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience. Ads support a diverse ecosystem of creators globally and allow billions to access their favorite content on YouTube. YouTube spokesperson This takes the form of a prominent “Ad blockers violate YouTube’s Term of Service” message in the video player that ultimately does not let you proceed unless you “Allow YouTube Ads” (by disabling your ad blocker for youtube.com with a link to full instructions for AdBlock, Adblock Plus, and uBlock Origin). The alternative is subscribing to YouTube Premium, which is currently $13.99 per month (or $139.99 annually) in the US after a recent price increase in July. A family plan for up to five members is $22.99 per month, while student pricing is $7.99 per

After beginning to roll out a healthy nudge to turn off ad blockers or subscribe to the platform’s ad-free Premium offering, YouTube is now forcing users’ hands.Google’s Antitrust Case Is the Best Thing That Ever Happened to AIAs users continue to trawl the depths of YouTube, they will now be greeted with a pop-up warning them to disable their ad blocker saying “video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.” This notification began popping up for users across the platform earlier this month, but it was as simple as shrugging it off by closing out the message. Shortly thereafter, YouTube forced users to acknowledge the message but still allowed them to exit out of it after a brief timer elapsed. Now, YouTube is requiring users to take action in the platform’s favor in order to circumvent the pop-up.YouTube communications manager Christopher Lawton told The Verge Tuesday that using an ad blocker is actually against the platform’s terms of service. He also told the outlet that “ads support a

Brutal guitar riffs and choreography, crowd surfers and towel waving, mosh pits and performers sharing hand hearts with the crowd.  If some of these terms seem incongruous at a single concert, welcome to the world that is Babymetal.  Two sold-out crowds at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood witnessed all of this as the self-proclaimed “kawaii metal” Japanese group, composed of lead singer SU-METAL and “scream and dance” members MOAMETAL and MOMOMETAL, performed on October 11th and 12th for the last stop of their Babyklok tour, sharing headlining duties with the metal band Dethklok.

Subscribers' Sunday was sacked — "You pay all this money for streaming services…" Scharon Harding - Oct 30, 2023 7:05 pm UTC Enlarge / Fans watch a 49ers, Cardinals game on October 2. When YouTube TV took over NFL Sunday Ticket, the key was ensuring that the experience was as good as it had been on DirecTV for the previous 29 years. For its initial seven Sundays, that was the case. But YouTube TV fumbled the ball this Sunday. Users across social media reported suffering lag and long, repetitive buffering sessions with the streams throughout the day. There were nine NFL games playing on NFL Sunday Ticket yesterday. According to The Washington Post, subscribers were having problems "well into the second half of games." YouTube acknowledged the problems via its TeamYouTube X account, saying, "If you're experiencing buffering issues on YouTube our team is aware and working on a fix. YouTube TV or NFL Sunday Ticket may also be impacted. we'll follow-up here once this has been resolved." However, the social media account hasn't provided an update as of this writing. YouTube's support page currently reads: "If you're experiencing buffering issues on YouTube our team is aware and working on

YouTube TV or NFL Sunday Ticket may also be impacted. we'll follow-up here once this has been resolved.— TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) October 29, 2023 The issues persisted well into the second half of the games and seemed to justify concerns about how seamlessly the product would be able to move from a linear platform to a streaming service.

The @TeamYouTube account acknowledged the issue at 1:53PM ET. The team wrote that they're aware YouTube is having issues and they are working to fix them, but acknowledged that “YouTube TV or NFL Sunday Ticket may also be impacted.”Now that YouTube is the only place to watch NFL Sunday Ticket, that leaves viewers across the country with no options to watch games apart from any available local broadcasts. People have taken to X to complain that streams are freezing up or lagging, or that it’s just like watching illegal streams. And plenty of them point out the money factor. NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube isn’t particularly cheap, after all, ranging from $249 to as much as $489
