As we reported here, Global Citizen amassed some of the leading names in entertainment, politics, social activism, and more for the benefit concert “Global Goal: Unite for Our Future.”

Airing June 27, the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson-hosted event – which was live-streamed on Apple, Roku, TIDAL, Twitch, Twitter, Yahoo! and YouTube – placed focus on communities that are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic (namely people of color, people facing discrimination, and the less fortunate) and came as a partnership with the European Commission.

Last week (as we reported here), Beyoncé sprang a surprise on fans when she unleashed new song ‘Black Parade.’

Wasting no time zooming to the top of real-time sales tallies (where it remained for days after its premiere), the Derek Dixie-produced bop came as a musical celebration of Juneteenth – the holiday designated to honor the end of slavery.

The set’s name? ‘Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon‘.
