YouTube Music has begun limiting lyrics access for free users, prompting them to subscribe to the premium service, according to The Verge. This change, which appears to be rolling out more widely after initial testing in September, restricts free users to viewing lyrics for only five songs per month.
The move comes as other news unfolds across various sectors. In the music world, The Verge also highlighted the new Mandy, Indiana album, "URGH," calling it a "vicious, dancey, and utterly captivating" release. Meanwhile, a "Shark Tank" alum found himself navigating a shadowy lending world to secure funds for unexpected tariff bills, as reported by NPR News. Urgent pitches for quick cash have flooded small-business owners' inboxes since the middle of last year, with offers of hundreds of thousands of dollars and promises of fast approval.
In the realm of science, Phys.org reported the first evidence of a subsurface lava tube on Venus. The feature was identified through analysis of radar images acquired by the SAR instrument aboard the NASA Magellan mission.
Adding to the week's diverse news, Time reported on Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, describing it as "an exuberant act of resistance." The performance, which featured the singer surrounded by people cutting down sugar cane stalks, alluded to the centuries-long colonization of Puerto Rico, where sugar played a central role. Bad Bunny performed "Tití Me Preguntó," a song that has garnered over a billion streams on Spotify and YouTube.
