Nav Unveils His Upcoming Never Sleep 2023 Tour Featuring RealestK and SoFaygo

Nav is teaming up with RealestK and SoFaygo for his upcoming 2023 Never Sleep Tour. On Thursday, the Toronto rapper released the tour dates and ticketing information.

Nav, RealestK, and SoFaygo kick off the 23-city tour at the Fillmore in Minneapolis on February 14 before making additional stops in Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, and more.

The “Some Way” rapper will close out the tour with a special performance in his hometown of Toronto at the Scotiabank Arena, with a special guest appearance from Bryson Tiller.

The tour comes at an excellent time for the rapper and producer with his recently released album, Demons Protected by Angels.

Nav shared in a recent interview that the pandemic significantly impacted the title of the album and that being at home “humbled him.”

“Being inside the house, it kind of humbled me because I was always on tour, and people were always in my face and screaming for me,” Nav told Complex. “It just humbled me and made me deal with a lot of issues that I didn’t know I had. And that helps the music and the content.”

Following the release of pre-sale tickets on Thursday, December 8, tickets will be available on Friday, December 12.

Bad Bunny’s ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ Now Has The Most Total Weeks At No. 1 In Over Five Years

Bad Bunny’s latest album, Un Verano Sin Ti, has performed tremendously on the charts since it was released back in early May. Just last week, it became the biggest album of the year so far by passing the Encanto soundtrack for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 10. Now, the journey continues: On the new Billboard 200 dated September 24, Un Verano Sin Ti is once again No. 1, for the eleventh total week.

This is now the most total weeks at No. 1 in over five years, when Drake’s Views had 13 non-consecutive No. 1 weeks on charts dated between May 21, 2016 and October 8, 2016. Un Verano Sin Ti is No. 1 thanks to 97,000 equivalent album units earned (down 3 percent from last week). That total consists primarily of streaming equivalent albums units, 94,000 of them, equaling 131.66 million on-demand official streams of the LP’s tracks.

Meanwhile, Nav had a strong debut, unable to top Bad Bunny but still entering the chart at No. 2 with Demons Protected By Angels, while Ozzy Osbourne’s Patient Number 9 debuts at No. 3 and Kane Brown’s Different Man premieres at No. 5. YoungBoy Never Broke Again also had a big leap, rising from No. 71 all the way to No. 6 this week after its first complete charting week.
