The Puerto Rican superstar went on to dominate the Apple Music Daily Top 100 Global chart, landing 23 songs in the Top 100, including nine in the Top 25 and five in the Top 10. His track "DtMF" rose to No. 1. His album"Debí Tirar Más Fotos,"appeared on album charts in 155 countries, reaching the Top 10 in 128 countries and hitting No. 1 in 46, including Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Germany, France and Spain.

Spotify found that U.S. streams ofBad Bunny's musicjumped 470% on the platform. That's when examining an hourly increase in U.S. streams between 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 8 compared to the same time frame the week prior.

And Amazon Music reported that streams of Bad Bunny's music in the U.S. jumped 480% following his performance.

Music discovery platform Shazam reflected a similar spike in engagement. Apple Music said Bad Bunny's performance Sunday marked the biggest day ever on Shazam for any Latin or non-English-language artist. Across Bad Bunny's catalog, Shazam recognitions increased by more than 400% during and immediately following the halftime show compared to the daily average.

Nancy Guthrie Abduction: Detained Delivery Driver Speaks Out After Being Released

Police detained an Arizona DoorDash driver for several hours on Tuesday (February 10) in connection with the ongoing disappearance ofSavannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother,Nancy Guthrie.

According to theNew York Post, the man, who identified himself as a 36-year-old delivery driver named Carlos Palazeulos, was released on Tuesday night after spending hours in custody. Speaking to reporters after his release, Palazeulos claimed he was held against his will and that the police "didn't even read me my rights until two hours later."

"What the f*** am I doing here? I didn't do anything, to be honest, I'm innocent," Palazeulos recalled while speaking to press outside his home in Rio Rico, a small border community around 60 miles south of Tucson.

Palazeulos explained that he was trailed by law enforcement while riding in a car with his wife. After pulling over, he exited the vehicle and told the officers, per ABC15, "I work in Tucson for GLS, I might have delivered a package to [Nancy's] house, but I never kidnapped anybody… They hold me from 4:00 p.m. till now."

The man said he told investigators that he'd never heard of Nancy or herTodayshow co-host daughter, stating that he doesn't watch the news. "I hope they get the suspect, because I'm not it," he added. "And they better do their job and find the suspect that did it so they can clear my name, I'm done."

Palazeulos, who said his wrists were swollen from the handcuffs, claimed police didn't ask him any questions but held him while searches were conducted.

According toThe Daily Mail, Palazeulos was released after police performed a court-ordered search of the property where he had been staying in Rio Rico.

No charges were filed against Palazeulos, and he claimed that authorities didn't provide a reason for his being sought in the investigation.

Palazeulos' questioning came hours after federal authoritiesreleased doorbell camera footagefrom Nancy's home in Tucson. The video showed a masked individual in latex gloves and carrying a backpack. The suspect was seen tampering with the camera, ripping it from its holder, and covering it with flowers ripped from the front entrance.

Investigators are said to be looking into more than one "person of interest" after receiving numerous tips following the release of the surveillance footage.TMZreports that no family members are being treated as suspects.

Nancy was taken from her homeon the evening of January 31, according to law enforcement. She was reported missing the following afternoon after friends noticed she did not attend her usual Sunday church service.

Since then,multiple ransom noteshave been sent to various media outlets, although the authenticity of the letters has not been confirmed. In a February 7 video, Savannah addressed the ransom notes,speaking directlyto Nancy's abductor: "We received your message, and we understand," she said. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace."

NATO launches Arctic Sentry military effort as it seeks to move on from Greenland dispute

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO on Wednesday launched a new military effort dubbed Arctic Sentry aimed at improving security in the High North, a month after U.S. President Donald Trumpramped up tensionswithin the alliance over his threats to annex Greenland.

APTOPIX Greenland Daily Life

Initially, Arctic Sentry will be the NATO label for national military exercises in the region, such as Denmark'sArctic Endurance— which angered Trump so much that he threatened to slap tariffs on allies taking part — and Norway's Cold Response drills. Arctic Sentry does not involve the permanent or even long-term deployment of troops to the region under a NATO banner.

NATO's role in this series of military activities, which will be coordinated through its U.S. headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, is aimed at countering Russian and Chinese influence in the High North, which includes Greenland.

NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe — U.S. Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich — said that "Arctic Sentry underscores the alliance's commitment to safeguard its members and maintain stability in one of the world's most strategically significant and environmentally challenging areas."

"It will leverage NATO's strength to protect our territory and ensure the Arctic and High North remains secure," he said in a statement.

As part of the effort, the United Kingdom has announced that the number of British troops deployed to Norway will double over three years from 1,000 to 2,000. Some will be involved in Exercise Lion Protector, already planned for September.

Details are sketchy, but other NATO activities will be added to Arctic Sentry once broader security needs are assessed and as the national military exercises end.

France and Germany have said they will take part but have not said how many troops would be involved.

Arctic security has been on NATO's agenda in recent years — seven allies lie in the region, along with Russia — but pressure to act accelerated as Trump's determination to "get"Greenlandfueled tensions among the allies.

NATO's primary role is to defend the territory of its 32 member states. The specter of the alliance's most powerful country threatening to annex part of another ally, Denmark, has deeply shaken the rest of the alliance. Greenland is a semiautonomous territory in the Danish realm.

European allies hope that Arctic Sentry and ongoing talks between the Trump administration, Denmark and Greenland will allow NATO to move on from the dispute and focus on Europe's real security priority, Russia's war on Ukraine.

Poland and Italy say they will not join Trump's Board of Peace

WARSAW, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Poland and Italy will not join U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, Warsaw and Rome said on Wednesday, adding ‌to the list of Washington's allies remaining on the sidelines.

Initially designed to ‌cement Gaza's ceasefire, Trump sees the Board of Peace taking a wider role in resolving global conflicts ​which some countries fear means it could become a rival to the United Nations.

This along with the fact that Russia and Belarus were invited to join means many Western countries have taken a cautious approach.

"Taking into account certain national doubts regarding the shape ‌of the board, under these ⁠circumstances Poland will not join the work of the Board of Peace, but we will analyse it," Prime Minister Donald Tusk told ⁠a government meeting.

"Our relations with the United States have been and will remain our priority, so if the circumstances change that will enable joining the work of the Board, ​we do ​not rule out any scenario."

Tusk was due ​to meet nationalist rival President Karol ‌Nawrocki later on Wednesday at a National Security Council meeting, where the Board of Peace was on the agenda.

Meanwhile, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani also confirmed on Wednesday that Italy would not sign up.

"We cannot join the Board of Peace because there is an insurmountable constitutional barrier on Italy's side," he told Sky TG24 news channel.

"However, ‌if we need to work on reconstruction ​efforts aimed at ensuring peace in the Middle East, ​we are ready to do ​so," he added.

Under Italy's constitution, the country can only join international ‌organisations on equal terms with other states -- ​a condition that ​Rome says is not met by the board's current statute which gives Trump extensive executive powers.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is close to Trump, said ​last month she had ‌asked him to amend the terms of the Board of Peace to ​enable Italy to join.
