<p data-start="683" data-end="1145">Throughout her remarkable seven-decade career, Parton became one of the most beloved and influential artists in music history, writing and singing enduring classics including “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and “I Will Always Love You.” She was inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and won 11 Grammy Awards as well as the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award.</p>

<p data-start="1493" data-end="1631">Born in Tennessee in 1946, Parton rose from humble beginnings to become a defining voice in country music and a global entertainment icon.</p>
<p data-start="1633" data-end="2030">Beyond her own recordings, Parton’s songwriting left an indelible mark on popular music. Her composition “I Will Always Love You” became a No. 1 country hit for Parton before Whitney Houston’s rendition became a worldwide phenomenon. Parton’s career also extended to movies including <em data-start="1921" data-end="1929">9 to 5</em>, <em data-start="1931" data-end="1948">Steel Magnolias</em>, and more.</p>
<p data-start="2032" data-end="2283">Parton’s impact reached far beyond entertainment. Her Imagination Library, launched in 1995, has provided books to children around the world as part of her decades-long commitment to literacy and philanthropy.</p>

<p>During her return to the show, the Oscar-winning actress opens up about privately caring for her late partner, Bryan Randall, during his battle with ALS in a deeply personal conversation.</p>
<p>Sandra reveals that Bryan asked her to keep his illness private, leaving her unable to confide in even some of her closest friends as she navigated his diagnosis during the pandemic. Bryan died in 2023 following a private three-year battle with ALS.</p>

</ul>
<p>“I wasn’t allowed to speak about it. That was the request,” Sandra said.</p>
<p>She also describes the secrecy as isolating while she coordinated nurses, sought access to trial drugs and helped her two children process Bryan’s declining health.</p>
<p>“I wasn’t even allowed to tell Amanda. I wasn’t allowed to tell anybody,” she said. “My sister was the only one who knew for a while.”</p>
<p>Sandra also talks to Jason, Sean, and Will about <em>Practical Magic 2</em>, scammers and joining Instagram, and more.</p>
<h3>“Sandra Bullock” on <em>SmartLess</em></h3>
<p>We welcome back our dear friend Sandra Bullock. We do it up with deep thoughts about: The Chickens, giving care, canine ophthalmology, and of course: how to monetize milk-fat content. “Wow, look at all the shit that happened,” on a fresh new yep-isode of SmartLess.</p>

<h3 data-section-id="1nahl3e" data-start="1062" data-end="1121"><strong>Leslie Mann Recalls Nikki Glaser Babysitting Iris Apatow</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1123" data-end="1262">While discussing questionable babysitting experiences, Mann recalls when comedian Nikki Glaser babysat her and Judd Apatow’s daughters.</p>
<p data-start="1264" data-end="1404">Mann remembers looking outside during a gathering and spotting a young Iris Apatow walking around near the pool — without Glaser nearby.</p>
<p data-start="1406" data-end="1555">“I was like, ‘Oh my God,’” Mann said, before joking that Glaser may have been busy working on her stand-up set.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="133eedx" data-start="1557" data-end="1614"><strong>Anna Faris Opens Up About Perimenopause and Depression</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1616" data-end="1707">Faris gets candid about experiencing depression around age 45 as she entered perimenopause.</p>
<p data-start="1709" data-end="1851">“I found myself in just this low-grade depression for quite a long time,” Faris said. “Maybe it was even more severe than low-grade at times.”</p>
<p data-start="1853" data-end="2010">Faris also discusses hormone patches, getting older, and how her outlook has changed, adding, “I feel so much happier.”</p>
<h3 data-section-id="3ccob6" data-start="2012" data-end="2066"><strong>Leslie Mann on Maude and Iris Apatow’s Relationship</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2068" data-end="2147">Mann also reveals that her daughters weren’t always as close as they are today.</p>
<p data-start="2149" data-end="2233">“Iris liked Maude, but Maude didn’t like Iris until Maude was around 18,” Mann said.</p>
<p data-start="2235" data-end="2449">Mann explains that Maude initially struggled with having a younger sister who suddenly received so much attention. Today, however, she says Maude and Iris are best friends.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1pavy5s" data-start="2451" data-end="2511"><strong><span role="text">Anna Faris on Filming <em data-start="2476" data-end="2489">Spa Weekend</em> After Losing Her Home</span></strong></h3>
<p data-start="2513" data-end="2615">Faris also reflects on beginning <em data-start="2546" data-end="2559">Spa Weekend</em> just weeks after her home burned down in the Palisades.</p>
<p data-start="2617" data-end="2672">“We didn’t have suitcases, we had nothing,” Faris said.</p>
<p data-start="2674" data-end="2796">Filming in Australia’s Gold Coast gave Faris and her son Jack a welcome change during an extraordinarily difficult period.</p>
<p data-start="2798" data-end="2916">“I needed to laugh,” Faris said. “To see my kid so happy, that meant the world.”</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1q8j3u5" data-start="2918" data-end="2958"><strong><span role="text">Go Behind the Scenes of <em data-start="2945" data-end="2958">Spa Weekend</em></span></strong></h3>
<p data-start="2960" data-end="3247">The cast also shares stories about the physical comedy involved in making the movie — including Mann getting bitten by fire ants and injured by a goat — and Fisher reveals some of the jokes and improvised material that didn’t make the final cut.</p>

<h3><strong>Bruce Springsteen Remembers Dave Marsh</strong></h3>
<p>Here on E Street, the irreplaceable loss of Dave Marsh has us heartbroken. My great friend Dave, with his straight out of Detroit attitude, was a true Rock ‘n’ Roll lifer. He was soulful, intelligent, heartfelt, opinionated, bruising and often fantastically argumentative. Watching Jon Landau and Dave drive each other crazy over some arcane piece of music would make my day. He wrote the first book about me, Born To Run, and Dave always had my back. He deeply believed in what I was trying to accomplish and his lifetime of support meant the world to me. More than anything else, I admired Dave as a man of conscience and commitment. He lived and stuck by his values come hell or high water. Wherever he is, I hope he’s receiving some of the grace, happiness and reward he’s brought into my life.</p>
<p>God bless you Dave,</p>
<p>Bruce Springsteen</p>

<h3><strong>Jon Landau Remembers Dave Marsh</strong></h3>
<p>In 1969, Dave was 19 and already stirring things up—it would become his lifelong mission—at the new Creem Magazine in Detroit, where he helped create a punk alternative to Rolling Stone’s early hegemony in the emerging world of rock mags.</p>
<p>I was 22, writing for that very same despised Rolling Stone, and now living in the communal home of the MC5 outside of Ann Arbor, working on my first record production, and meeting some of the best people I’ve ever known.</p>
<p>Dave was already an official local gunslinger, and I would see him around town, along with the 5 and the Stooges, at shows, at parties, at political gatherings.</p>
<p>We hit it off and would always find each other at whatever event it was, where we would immediately begin arguing about music, politics, and writing.</p>
<p>We continued doing that through thick and thin for most of the next 50 years.</p>
<p>First and foremost, Dave was a wonderful and generous friend. Although he was born with the DNA of a confrontationalist, he was also born with a caring heart, a love for people, and a desire to do good whenever and wherever he could.</p>
<p>Sometimes his hot-headedness could get him into trouble—but usually one of his countless friends would assist him in stomping out the brush fire.</p>
<p>Secondly, he was a wonderful writer—I was re-reading a lot of his work in the excellent Dave anthology <em>Kick Out the Jams</em> and, boy, does his work hold up. For example, I’m a great lover of gospel music, and his piece on the magnificent Dorothy Love Coates and the deeper connections between gospel and rock (“No Hiding Place,” 1999) is simply masterful.</p>
<p>In the 70s, Dave spent time in Boston writing for the local publications (I had something to do with that), spent time working at the daily newspaper Newsday, and then, wonder of wonders, when I gave up editing Rolling Stone’s record section, Dave was my successor, where he did an excellent job—and engaged in regular hand to hand combat with Jann Wenner. They usually fought each other to a draw.</p>
<p>Dave eventually found his truest metier when he wrote the first biography of Bruce, <em>Born to Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story</em>. Published 50 years ago, it holds up to this day as the essential work on Bruce’s early years. Peter Ames Carlin, author of the much later biography, <em>Bruce</em>, was amazed at how well Dave’s work had held up. He was also amazed at Dave’s generosity in helping him get oriented and do his job in any way he could.</p>
<p>More than 20 books were to follow on the heels of Dave’s <em>Born to Run</em>, including the ultimate biography of the Who, as well as 20 years of hosting his radio shows and his long-time service as a major voice on the Nominating Committee of the Hall of Fame. But the organization closest to his heart was always the <a href="https://kristenanncarrfund.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristen Ann Carr Fund</a>, to which he gave of himself wholeheartedly for the last 30-plus years. Countless doctors were trained, in no small measure, due to Dave’s efforts; Dave’s efforts through KAC aided countless suffering patients. His efforts here were a pure expression of his humanity.</p>
<p>We’re all born with a certain potential. Some of us barely realize that potential, some only partially, and a handful realize that potential 100%. To me, my friend Dave was someone who approached 100% of his potential. He gave his life everything he had. He touched almost everyone he met; he left us all better for his presence; he was a true friend in need, in good times and bad.</p>
<p>I will miss him for the rest of my life.</p>
<p>Jon Landau</p>

<p>You know the routine. The score is open in one tab. Your fantasy lineup is in another. You’re checking stats, reading the latest news and trying to find the live call before the next big play.</p>
<p>Following a game shouldn’t feel like operating a control room.</p>
<p>That’s why Yahoo Sports and SiriusXM are making it easier to move between following the action and hearing everything surrounding it.</p>
<p>Yahoo Sports has now introduced “Listen on SiriusXM” links across relevant <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/mobile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Sports app</a> and website game pages for pro football, baseball, basketball and college football. The integration connects fans to SiriusXM live play-by-play when a game is underway — and to related shows, podcasts and other sports programming before and after the game.</p>
<p>In other words: fewer clicks and taps, less searching and more of the sports experience you came for. Background audio also lets you keep listening while you continue using Yahoo Sports to check live stats, read the latest news or follow the broader game experience.</p>
<h3><b>“Listen on SiriusXM” at a glance</b></h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><b>Available on:</b><span> Eligible Yahoo Sports app and website pro football, basketball, baseball and college football pages</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><b>During live games:</b><span> Corresponding SiriusXM play-by-play, including home and visiting team broadcasts where available</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><b>Before and after games:</b><span> Related SiriusXM shows, podcasts and other sports programming</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><b>Where to listen:</b><span> The SiriusXM app or web player</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><b>How to access it:</b><span> Existing SiriusXM subscribers and trialers can log in; new users can begin a SiriusXM trial or subscription</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><b>How does “Listen on SiriusXM” work?</b></h3>
<p><span>If the game is on, the link will take you to the live play-by-play broadcast. Where available, SiriusXM subscribers can choose between the home and visiting team feeds, so you can hear the announcers covering the team you care about most.</span></p>
<p><span>When the game is not live, the link can connect you with related SiriusXM programming, including shows, podcasts and other sports content surrounding the matchup, teams and league.</span></p>
<p><b>Already a SiriusXM subscriber?</b><span> Quickly log in and select the live game stream or other exciting content.</span></p>
<p><b>New to SiriusXM?</b><span> You can begin a trial or subscription and quickly access the available audio.</span></p>
<p><i><span>“Sports fans already turn to Yahoo Sports for scores, statistics, fantasy teams and breaking news. By connecting those experiences directly to SiriusXM live play-by-play and related sports content, we’re reducing the steps between seeing what’s happening and hearing it happen,” said Dave Geary, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Partnerships at SiriusXM. “This integration makes our premium sports audio easier to discover, gives Yahoo Sports users a more connected way to follow the game and introduces SiriusXM to millions of highly engaged fans. It’s another step toward making SiriusXM a home for fandom wherever fans follow the action.”</span></i></p>
<h3><b>What will Yahoo Fantasy Ultra subscribers receive?</b></h3>
<p><span>SiriusXM has also become a featured benefit of the new </span><b>Yahoo</b> <b>Fantasy Ultra</b><span> subscription tier.</span></p>
<p><span>Eligible Yahoo Fantasy Ultra subscribers can now get their first 6 months free with a SiriusXM All Access (App Only) subscription, providing access to live sports play-by-play and SiriusXM programming through the app.</span></p>
<p><span>The benefit brings together two premium subscription experiences while introducing SiriusXM to one of the most passionate and engaged audiences in sports (eligibility requirements and offer terms apply).</span></p>
<h3><b>How does the Yahoo Sports integration fit SiriusXM’s sports strategy?</b></h3>
<p><span>This Yahoo Sports integration is the latest in a series of moves designed to make SiriusXM’s sports programming more accessible, more local and easier for you to discover. </span></p>
<p><span>On September 1st, <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/audacy">23 local Audacy sports stations</a>, including WFAN in New York and ESPN LA 710, will join the SiriusXM lineup, bringing more hometown sports voices to fans across the country.</span></p>
<p><span>That same day, SiriusXM will also launch <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/sports-pass">SiriusXM Sports Pass</a>, a new all-in-one sports audio subscription available to U.S. subscribers for $5 per month or $49 per year (SiriusXM’s full sports lineup will also remain available in its most popular existing plans).</span></p>
<p><span>SiriusXM Sports Pass will bring together every live game and sporting event SiriusXM carries, hometown sports talk, exclusive channels, national personalities, expert analysis and podcasts. </span></p>
<p><span>Together, the Yahoo Sports integration, the addition of local sports stations and SiriusXM Sports Pass create more ways for fans like you to:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><span>Find live game audio and related sports programming</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><span>Follow hometown teams and trusted local voices</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><span>Move between scores, fantasy sports, news and live listening</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><span>Stay connected to the daily sports conversation wherever you are</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>Each move advances SiriusXM’s vision of becoming a </span><b>home for fandom</b><span> by meeting you where you already follow the action and bringing you closer to the games, teams and voices you care about most.</span></p>
<p><span>So go ahead: check the score, make the roster move and read the latest update.</span></p>
<p><span>We’ll make it easier for you to hear the live call – and stay with the conversation before and after the game.</span></p>

<p>During her return to the show, the Oscar-winning actress opens up about privately caring for her late partner, Bryan Randall, during his battle with ALS in a deeply personal conversation.</p>
<p>Sandra reveals that Bryan asked her to keep his illness private, leaving her unable to confide in even some of her closest friends as she navigated his diagnosis during the pandemic. Bryan died in 2023 following a private three-year battle with ALS.</p>

</ul>
<p>“I wasn’t allowed to speak about it. That was the request,” Sandra said.</p>
<p>She also describes the secrecy as isolating while she coordinated nurses, sought access to trial drugs and helped her two children process Bryan’s declining health.</p>
<p>“I wasn’t even allowed to tell Amanda. I wasn’t allowed to tell anybody,” she said. “My sister was the only one who knew for a while.”</p>
<p>Sandra also talks to Jason, Sean, and Will about <em>Practical Magic 2</em>, scammers and joining Instagram, and more.</p>
<h3>“Sandra Bullock” on <em>SmartLess</em></h3>
<p>We welcome back our dear friend Sandra Bullock. We do it up with deep thoughts about: The Chickens, giving care, canine ophthalmology, and of course: how to monetize milk-fat content. “Wow, look at all the shit that happened,” on a fresh new yep-isode of SmartLess.</p>

<p>Blake explained that she was first approached about joining the UK version of <em>Love Island</em> when she was around 18 or 19 years old. At the time, however, she was focused on her dream of becoming a WWE Superstar.</p>
<p>“I just didn’t think it was a fit,” Blake recalled, adding that she was approached again years later after moving to America. Ultimately, she found love on her own and didn’t pursue the opportunity.</p>
<p>The conversation prompted Nikki to reveal that she nearly had a <em>Love Island USA </em>gig of her own — as a host.</p>
<p>“When they were bringing the USA <em>Love Island</em>, it was between me and [Arielle Vandenberg],” Nikki recalled. “If she wasn’t going to say yes, I would’ve been the host.”</p>
<p>Nikki admitted that she “wasn’t prepared enough” for her audition, but said landing the role “would’ve been really cool.”</p>
<p>During the show, Blake also opened up about her journey from wrestling in England and Japan to <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/wwe-nxt"><em>NXT</em></a> and <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/wwe-smackdown"><em>SmackDown</em></a>, her championship aspirations, and learning how to navigate online criticism. Plus, she revealed that watching <em>Total Divas</em> helped her mother understand how Blake could turn her childhood dream of becoming a WWE Superstar into a career.</p>

<p class="isSelectedEnd">Looking back at his Best Actor Oscar campaign for <em>Dallas Buyers Club</em>, Matthew recalled competing against bigger studio movies while <em>True Detective</em> was simultaneously becoming a phenomenon on HBO.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">“That’s a cutthroat son of a gun. I mean, we’re the small movie too. We don’t have as much money,” he said. Having audiences see him every Sunday as Rust Cohle while he campaigned for <em>Dallas Buyers Club</em> was “one of the coups for me.”</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Matthew also opened up about balancing acting with family life. Before having children, his wife, Camila Alves, established a rule: “When you go, we go.”</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">“We travel as a tribe, as a family together,” Matthew said.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The Oscar winner also shared why <em>Mud</em> remains one of his most cherished films, recalling dreams about his late father watching it with him.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">“We never got to watch it together, but yeah, <em>Mud</em>. Love that movie,” he said.</p>

<p class="isSelectedEnd">“Just to have him on our side, man, and don’t have to face him twice a year, it’s extraordinary,” Jackson said during an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Jackson also describe what it’s been like trying to operate against Hendrickson in practice.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">“I dropped back, you know, probably a one step, like a quick game, footwork drop. He’s already in my face,” Jackson said. “He’s making things happen. He’s getting around the tackles, getting around the guards, and he just — he’s just a wreck.”</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Before Hendrickson landed in Baltimore, Jackson had grown accustomed to seeing him on the other side of an AFC North rivalry. Hendrickson established himself as one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers during his time with the Cincinnati Bengals, which meant Baltimore regularly had to account for him when the division rivals met.</p>

</ul>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Now Jackson gets to watch Hendrickson create those problems for the Ravens offense every day in practice.</p>

<p data-start="481" data-end="889">Hosted by Dwayne Johnson, the special features executive producers Lauren Hashian, Tiana Nonosina Liufau, and Kayla Faʻamaligi as they guide listeners through the companion album inspired by Disney’s live-action <em data-start="690" data-end="697">Moana</em>. Along the way, they introduce each artist, explore the meaning behind every song, and celebrate the Pacific voices and cultures that shaped the project.</p>
<p data-start="891" data-end="1312">During the special, Johnson also shares how the album began with an idea he pitched to Disney: to create a companion record that would shine a global spotlight on talented Polynesian artists who “sing from the heart and… from the soul.” The result is a collection featuring more than 25 artists performing in languages from across the Polynesian Triangle, including Samoan, Tongan, Tahitian, and more.</p>
<p data-start="1314" data-end="1647">Listeners will also hear the creative team discuss how music preserves genealogy, storytelling, and cultural traditions, making <em data-start="1442" data-end="1474">Moana: Voices Across the Ocean</em> more than an album — it’s a celebration of Polynesian heritage and the artists bringing those stories to audiences around the world.</p>
<p data-start="1314" data-end="1647">Listen to the premiere of “<em>Moana: Voices Across the Ocean</em> Track-by-Track” on Monday, August 10 at 12pm ET, with rebroadcasts throughout the week. The full special will also be available to stream on the <a href="https://sxm.app.link/BlogMoanaVoicesAcrossNation-DisneyHits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SiriusXM app</a> after its premiere.</p>

<p data-start="536" data-end="765">Kurupt explained that it all began with a call from <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/dr-dre">Dr. Dre</a>, who reached out to offer encouragement and let him know he wasn’t alone.</p>

</ul>
<p data-start="536" data-end="765">“It was Dr. Dre that called me, literally, and was just giving his support,” Kurupt said. “It was Em who came to the table like, ‘I’m going to put Kurupt with my folks and put some money into getting him into a rehab situation.'”</p>
<p data-start="767" data-end="853">Kurupt said Eminem wanted him to receive treatment privately, away from the spotlight.</p>
<p data-start="855" data-end="996">“You know these things cost bread, so Em put the cheese up for it,” Kurupt said. “He put me with Em’s folks, so that was real special to me.”</p>
<p data-start="998" data-end="1096">The rapper said he was deeply moved by the gesture, especially because it came without hesitation.</p>

<p data-start="405" data-end="581">“Those people suck that talk about them,” Harry said. “If you know them on a personal level, they are genuinely the greatest people and they’ve been nothing but perfect to me.”</p>
<p data-start="583" data-end="667">Jowsey also shared that watching Alex and Matt work together has been inspiring.</p>
<p data-start="669" data-end="868">“Alex will have the idea, ‘I’m going to go to the moon,'” he said. “And he’s like, ‘Cool. We’re going to build the rocket ship.’ That’s how we go together. They’re the best working dynamic possible.”</p>
<p data-start="870" data-end="1013">He added that he even encouraged Alex to share more of her relationship with fans, saying he wishes people could see “how much he loves her.”</p>
<p data-start="870" data-end="1013">During the interview, Harry also spoke out about the advice Alex gave him while filming his new reality show (“Let’s Marry Harry”), his tension with Nick Viall, his infamous appearance on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” getting penis botox.</p>

<p data-start="815" data-end="1115">Since taking over as the voice of NBC’s iconic football theme in 2013, the country superstar has welcomed fans to primetime each week. But before the NFL season even kicks off, Underwood has already recorded every possible team matchup listeners could hear throughout the regular season and playoffs.</p>
<p data-start="1117" data-end="1242">Speaking with <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/morning-mash-up">“The Morning Mash Up” on SiriusXM Hits 1</a>, Carrie explained the process behind creating the weekly theme song.</p>
<p data-start="1244" data-end="1380">“It’s one main version, top to bottom, and then kind of filling in lines,” Carrie said. “When we go in to record, we do it all at once.”</p>
<p data-start="1382" data-end="1427">That means recording much more than one song.</p>
<p data-start="1429" data-end="1660">“We go through and pick up all the matchups for each week of regular-season football, and then we go into playoff football,” she said. “And I then sing every possible combination of teams that could possibly maybe play each other.”</p>
<p data-start="1662" data-end="1733">Carrie also reflected on what makes performing the theme so meaningful.</p>
<p data-start="1735" data-end="1988">“I think my favorite is when it kind of dawns on me that before these guys were playing in Sunday Night Football games, they were watching Sunday Night Football,” she said. “When they get there, I’m a little part of their journey, which is really cool.”</p>
<p data-start="1990" data-end="2128">When asked whether she’d ever headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Carrie said she’d only consider it under the right circumstances.</p>
<p data-start="2130" data-end="2219">“That’s a lot of pressure,” she said. “It would have to be just the right circumstances.”</p>

<p>When asked if she’d ever consider headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Carrie said she wasn’t sure yet. “I mean, that’s a lot of pressure. It would have to be just the right circumstances,” she explained. Earlier this week, Usher was announced as the 2024 Halftime Show performer.</p>
<p>Carrie recently shared that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce personally thanked her for helping him getting ready for games with her songs.</p>
<p>“I think my favorite is when … it kind of dawns on me that it’s like, before these guys were playing in Sunday Night Football games, they were watching Sunday Night Football,” Carrie shared. “It would’ve been the equivalent of me watching awards shows or people performing on TV, just being like, ‘Oh my gosh, if I could only do that.’ … And I’ve been [recording the theme for] 11 years, so some of these guys were younger, watching these football games, just thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, if I could be on Sunday Night Football.’ And then, when they get there, I’m a little part of their journey, which is really cool.”</p>
<p>Since 2013, Carrie has been the face (and voice) of Sunday Night Football, taking over theme song duties from fellow vocal powerhouse Faith Hill. In previous years, she performed “Oh Sunday Night” and “Game On.” Throughout this season, her “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” performance video will be updated weekly with clips from each Sunday’s competing teams. The video was recorded at The Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas — home of <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/carrie-underwood-las-vegas-residency/">her recent residency, REFLECTION</a> — and features a concert performance interspersed with augmented reality highlights displayed across a halo scoreboard.</p>

<p>Over the years, Carrie has made a number of appearances at the Opry. The country superstar launched her year-round SiriusXM channel, CARRIE’s COUNTRY, in June 2023 with a scintillating set that featured her new songs and greatest hits, including “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPyDSxB6Cns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Before He Cheats</a>.” The channel is available to listeners across North America in their cars or anywhere they go with the SiriusXM App.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, what will you hear on CARRIE’s COUNTRY? The channel is a musical journey hand-crafted by country’s iconic rhinestoned superstar. Carrie highlights her friends, favorites, and influences – new and classic country, workout hits, gospel, and beyond. Listeners can also hear high-octane favorites from classic to hard rock for your morning exercise or your late-night jam sessions. The stories behind her music, record-breaking career, and life on the road are also shared. In addition to Carrie’s own extensive hit-filled catalogue, SiriusXM subscribers can hear music from Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, and Miranda Lambert to AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and The Rolling Stones.</p>
<p>Additionally, Carrie’s channel features original programming, including monthly themed shows, morning workout and late-night hard-rock blocks, and “Savior Sunday” – a full day of inspirational music including Carrie’s own gospel catalogue, country titles, and more of the music that is close to her heart. In “Find Your Path” (named for her bestselling lifestyle book), Carrie and her fitness trainer share advice, helpful strategies, healthy habits, and more. She’ll invite friends, peers, and fans to “Take the Wheel” as special guest DJs.</p>

During today’s episode of <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/bevelations">Radio Andy’s “Bevelations” with Bevy Smith</a>, the celebrity stylist said the seating situation at Louis Vuitton was widely misunderstood online.</p>

<p>According to Law, the issue wasn’t that he lacked a front-row seat, it was that organizers initially directed him to sit behind Zendaya in a seat reserved for her assistant before finding him another front-row seat.</p>
<p>“The internet has a way of contorting things,” Law said.</p>
<p>He also responded to criticism that he sees himself as “the talent,” arguing that his success has made him one of the most recognizable stylists in the world.</p>
<p>“I am the Zendaya of my industry,” he said. “I am the Serena Williams of styling.”</p>
<p>Additionally, Law shared the story behind purchasing André Leon Talley’s custom Christian Dior Haute Couture coat after years of hoping to add the iconic piece to his archive.</p>

<p class="isselectedend">“Who isn’t a Madonna fan?” Peggy says. “She’s one of the artists that I really look up to.”</p>
<p class="isselectedend">Peggy also reveals that she created two versions of the song: a Patrick Cowley-inspired disco mix and a breakbeat version. Madonna’s team ultimately chose the former, though Peggy admits she asked if she could release the unreleased breakbeat remix herself.</p>

<p class="isselectedend">“I did ask them, ‘Can I release it on the record?’ Never got an answer,” she says, adding that the alternate version has a completely different feel and would have been the kind of track she’d play as the final song in one of her DJ sets.</p>
<p>Plus, Peggy recalls meeting Madonna for the first time in May, calling the experience “iconic” and saying she admires the superstar even more after meeting her.</p>

<p class="isselectedend">“The vice president reached out to have a conversation,” Mamdani said. “We’ve had a brief conversation. We’ve been in touch over the last few months, and I really do appreciate her outreach.”</p>
<p>Elsewhere in the interview, Mamdani urged New Yorkers to take the record-breaking heat wave seriously, highlighting the city’s more than 200 cooling centers, extended public pool hours, and outreach efforts to protect vulnerable residents. He also reflected on the nation’s 250th anniversary, saying it’s an opportunity to celebrate America’s progress while recognizing “all that is still left to fight for,” before sharing his July 4 playlist featuring Beyoncé, Bad Bunny, and Dipset.</p>

<h3 data-start="680" data-end="830">Frank Miller Says Robert Rodriguez Changed His Mind About ‘Sin City’</h3>
<p data-start="680" data-end="830">The legendary comic creator revealed he initially turned down filmmaker Robert Rodriguez’s proposal to adapt the acclaimed graphic novel because he was wary of Hollywood.<br>
“I’ve been through the Hollywood game before and I’m just afraid [there are] too many people involved,” he told D-Stroy.</p>
<p data-start="832" data-end="912">Everything changed after Robert invited Frank to Texas to film a test scene.</p>
<p data-start="914" data-end="1082">“It was like seeing my book come to life,” he said. “I turned around in my chair and shook his hand and said, ‘I’m in, let’s go.'”</p>
<h3 data-start="914" data-end="1082">Frank Miller Recalls Mickey Rourke Instantly Landing Marv Role</h3>
<p data-start="1084" data-end="1155">Frank also shared how Mickey Rourke instantly landed the role of Marv.</p>
<p data-start="1157" data-end="1279">“He was already playing the part,” he said. “He came in as Marv to audition for it.”</p>
<h3 data-start="1157" data-end="1279">Frank Miller Revisits His Early Years in New York City</h3>
<p data-start="1281" data-end="1503">During the conversation, Frank reflected on surviving his early years in New York City, drawing inspiration from rooftops across Manhattan, and explained why comics and hip-hop have always shared an “outlaw” spirit.</p>
<p data-start="1505" data-end="1657">“Both forms are outlaw,” he said. “Both are way under the radar and are hitting people in ways they don’t expect.”</p>
<p data-start="1659" data-end="1820">He also teased a new “Sin City” Western, revealing the story follows Marv’s great-great-great-grandfather, an Apache chief.</p>

<p class="isSelectedEnd">Amy opens up about the five-year creative journey behind the record, working with multiple producers including Nick Raskulinecz and Zakk Cervini, and why she refuses to rush the artistic process. The duo shares hilarious Spinal Tap moments from the road, including kabuki curtains falling on Amy mid-performance and Emma’s pants splitting on stage. They discuss the evolving role of radio in breaking new music, the oversaturation problem in today’s industry, and why live shows remain the most powerful way to connect with fans. Amy also reveals her father’s radio background and how it shaped her musical education, while Emma reflects on her influences from bands like Silverchair and Red Hot Chili Peppers.</p>

<p>During an episode of “Salute The Sample” on <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/rock-the-bells-radio">LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells Radio (Ch. 43)</a>, Greg Nice shared a memorable quote from the late <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/wu-tang-clan">Wu-Tang Clan</a> member about creating his unique style.</p>

<p>Then, LL recalled the story of how Chris Lighty called him with shocking news from Chung King Studios.</p>
<p>“For some reason, Ol’ Dirty Bastard just came here, broke all your plaques, and pissed on them,” the “I Can’t Live Without My Radio” rapper said.</p>
<p>LL admitted he had no idea what prompted the incident.</p>
<p>“I said, ‘What’d I do?’ I didn’t even understand it. I couldn’t understand it,” he said. “Loved [ODB] ever since.”</p>
<p>Launched in 2018 by LL COOL J, the LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells Radio channel on SiriusXM is dedicated exclusively to hip-hop fans who want that classic and timeless hip-hop sound, focusing on music, artist-hosted shows, exclusive DJ mixes, interviews, and more.</p>

<h2>I’d Be Lyin’ World Premiere</h2>
<h3>How to Listen</h3>
<p>Beginning Monday, July 13 at 12pm ET, tune in to <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/kelly-clarkson-connection">The Kelly Clarkson Connection (Ch. 12)</a> on the <a href="https://sxm.app.link/BlogIdBeLyinKellyClarkson?source=in_text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SiriusXM app</a> and in your car to hear the world premiere of Kelly’s new song, “I’d Be Lyin’.” The song will continue airing exclusively on the channel until its global release on Friday, July 17.</p>
<p>The exclusive premiere is part of SiriusXM’s ongoing partnership with Kelly, whose channel features her music, favorite artists, and behind-the-scenes stories from throughout her career.</p>
<p>“I’d Be Lyin'” marks Kelly’s first new single since 2025’s “Where Have You Been,” which also <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/kelly-clarkson-where-have-you-been">debuted first on The Kelly Clarkson Connection before its wide release.</a></p>
<h3 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="1ny8a8z" data-start="2169" data-end="2228"><span role="text">Kelly Clarkson Previews ‘I’d Be Lyin'”</span></h3>
<p data-start="2230" data-end="2365">Kelly Clarkson is also offering fans a preview of what they can expect from her new single, describing it as a confident, attitude-filled anthem.</p>
<p data-start="2367" data-end="2677">“The vibe in the verse is kind of — it’s not like Prince, but it’s definitely Prince-inspired with the staccato kind of poppiness of it,” Kelly says on her channel. “It has a lot of attitude, and then the chorus kind of opens up into this major pop-rock vibe that is very reminiscent of a Kelly Clarkson empowerment anthem.”</p>
<p data-start="2679" data-end="2742">She adds that the song was one of her favorite tracks to make.</p>
<p data-start="2744" data-end="2855">“It’s very sarcastic, and it was fun as hell to make,” Kelly says. “I like a fun, anthemic, sarcastic song.”</p>
<h3 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="a9o7me" data-start="213" data-end="281"><span role="text">Watch Kelly Clarkson Play the “I’d Be Lyin'” Game</span></h3>
<p data-start="283" data-end="368">Before fans hear the full song, Kelly Clarkson is having a little fun with its title.</p>
<p data-start="370" data-end="655">In an exclusive SiriusXM video, Kelly plays a game of “I’d Be Lyin'” by responding to a series of statements with complete honesty. She shares whether she really enjoys working out, if she’s active on social media, whether she ever forgets the lyrics to her own songs, and more.</p>
<p data-start="657" data-end="931">“I think we all know I would be lying — especially specifically if I wrote it,” Kelly jokes when asked if she always remembers her lyrics. “When you are in the writing stage sometimes you change lyrics and you’re like, ‘I could do better,’ and so then I forget what I change.”</p>
<p data-start="933" data-end="989">She also reveals that her music taste spans every genre.</p>
<p data-start="991" data-end="1156">“You never know what I’m listening to. I love all different kinds of things,” Kelly says. “I don’t care what kind of music it is as long as it’s moving and good.”</p>
<p data-start="1158" data-end="1265">Watch the video above for a sneak peek of “I’d Be Lyin'” before the song’s exclusive SiriusXM premiere.</p>

<p>The series premieres today (July 14), with new episodes dropping every Tuesday on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@freakonomics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freakonomics Radio Network YouTube channel</a>. Fans can also listen on <a href="https://sxm.app.link/BlogBetterInPerson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SiriusXM</a> and other major podcast platforms. Watch the official trailer for the series above.</p>
<p>Unlike a traditional studio interview, “Better in Person” invites guests into Dubner’s New York City home, with conversations extending into locations that reflect each guest’s life and work — from restaurant kitchens and bookstores to rehearsal spaces and basketball courts.</p>
<p>“I’ll admit that I am greedy,” Dubner says. “I want to get to really know my guests. If “Freakonomics Radio” is about how things work, “Better in Person” is about how people work.”</p>
<p>The 10-episode pilot season features an eclectic lineup of guests, including architect Bjarke Ingels, chef Hillary Sterling, former NFL player and MIT professor John Urschel, novelist Harlan Coben, Central Synagogue Senior Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt, comedian Gary Gulman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jennifer Egan, musician and author Warren Zanes, Brooklyn Museum Director Anne Pasternak, and Wesleyan University President Michael Roth.</p>
<p>Dubner says the project reflects his belief that audiences still crave thoughtful, substantive conversations.</p>
<p>“When I started the “Freakonomics” podcast, I thought there was ZERO chance we’d someday be able to funnel podcast money into making a filmed interview series,” he says. “Fifteen years later, I’m convinced people are much hungrier for substance than the conventional wisdom says.”</p>

<p data-start="1247" data-end="1444">Anya, who made her debut as Alia Atreides in “Dune: Part Two,” said one of the strangest moments of filming came when she unexpectedly stumbled upon a prosthetic version of the character.</p>
<blockquote data-start="1446" data-end="1669">
<p data-start="1448" data-end="1669">“I got to meet the baby version of me on set and it was a surprise,” Taylor-Joy told host Julia Cunningham. “I walked into the prosthetics area and there was fetus me, and I have some insane pictures of me with fetus me.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="1671" data-end="1694">She added with a laugh:</p>
<blockquote data-start="1696" data-end="1735">
<p data-start="1698" data-end="1735">“Yeah, she’s creepy, but I like her.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="1737" data-end="1903">Anya appeared briefly in D”une: Part Two” as the adult vision of Alia Atreides and is set to reprise the role in the highly anticipated “Dune: Part Three.”</p>
<h3 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="11ej6en" data-start="1905" data-end="1971"><span role="text">Drunk Vegas partiers kept yelling “Cut!” during “Lucky” filming</span></h3>
<p data-start="1973" data-end="2062">Anya also shared a funny story from filming “Lucky” at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.</p>
<p data-start="2064" data-end="2275">Although she expected to encounter plenty of over-the-top Vegas moments during early morning shoots, she said most people were surprisingly tame, except for one group that figured out how to prank the production.</p>
<blockquote data-start="2277" data-end="2387">
<p data-start="2279" data-end="2387">“I think I had built it up in my mind, like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna see some stuff.’ People were surprisingly tame.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="2389" data-end="2499">Then came a group of revelers who realized they could throw her off by shouting a familiar filmmaking command.</p>
<blockquote data-start="2501" data-end="2683">
<p data-start="2503" data-end="2683">“The only time that it kind of got in the way was actually very clever, where a group of drunk guys realized that if they yelled, ‘Cut,’ I would stop, so they really enjoyed that.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-start="2685" data-end="2774">As she ran through Caesars Palace during filming, the pranksters repeatedly yelled “Cut!”</p>
<blockquote data-start="2776" data-end="2860">
<p data-start="2778" data-end="2860">“They’re just yelling, ‘Cut, cut, cut,’ and I was like, ‘What? What do you mean?'”</p>
</blockquote>

<p>On the show, The Edge sits down with musicians, artists, and creative thinkers to explore the ideas, relationships, and experiences that shape their work. In this new episode, Lars reflects on Metallica’s four-plus decades together and explains why the band’s differences have been one of its greatest strengths.</p>
<p>Asked whether the contrasting personalities of himself and frontman James Hetfield are central to Metallica’s success, Lars says each member brings something unique to the table.</p>

</ul>
<p>“I would like to think so,” Lars says. “I would like to think that we each bring a different energy, and a different focus, and a different… skill set.”</p>
<p>Now more than 45 years into their partnership, Lars says he and Hetfield know each other inside and out despite coming from very different backgrounds.</p>
<p>“I’d like to think that the differences that all of us bring and the different influences, inspirations, and the way we grew up… is what makes this work,” he says.</p>

<p data-start="619" data-end="903">During the episode, Trujillo reflects on what surprised him most after joining Metallica in 2003, saying the biggest adjustment wasn’t learning the music but adapting to the relentless demands of life in the band.</p>
<p data-start="985" data-end="1112">Looking back on his first year with the band, Trujillo said nearly every aspect of the job was more demanding than he expected.</p>
<p data-start="1116" data-end="1179">“Metallica was a challenge because everything was intensified,” he says.</p>

<p data-start="1181" data-end="1233">That included far more than just performing onstage.</p>
<p data-start="1237" data-end="1380">“The press schedule was intensified. The shows are two hours, and I’d never played that long on stage before, so they were much more physical.”</p>

<p>During her upcoming appearance on <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/smith-sisters-live">Radio Andy’s “Smith Sisters Live,”</a> Stassi reveals she sent Katie a candid voice note acknowledging how happy she seemed away from the cameras while making the case for why the show could be a fresh start for both of them.</p>

<p>“I think that there are a lot of things that have gone unsaid,” Stassi says. “I think that this would be a good opportunity for everyone… It’s just like a win-win and you’re the person who I know how to do reality TV with.”</p>
<p>Stassi adds she also made it clear Maloney didn’t have to say yes.</p>
<p>“And if you’re happy and you don’t want to do this again, tell me to f— off and I will leave you alone,” Stassi says. “And she was like, ‘That actually sounds like something I would want to do.'”</p>
<h3>Stassi Schroeder on Producing Her New Show: “This Is for My Children”</h3>
<p>The former <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/vanderpump-rules">“Vanderpump Rules”</a> star also explains why becoming an executive producer was non-negotiable before returning to reality TV, admitting she refused to let her family appear on a show unless she had creative control over how her children were portrayed.</p>
<p>“I will not let my family be on a show unless I’m a producer,” Stassi says. “This is for my children.”</p>
<p>Plus, Stassi shares how she separated her executive producer role from being a cast member, telling her co-stars before filming began that she wanted to be treated like everyone else.</p>
<p>“I am your co-star,” Stassi says. “I won’t know about your storylines. I’m not going to ask.”</p>

<p>During her appearance on <a href="https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/tag/radio-andy">Radio Andy’s “Andy Cohen Live,”</a> Elizabeth said she and the country star have more in common than many people realize.</p>
<h3>Why Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus Are a Good Match</h3>
<p>“We are remarkably similar in strangely different ways,” the actress told Andy.</p>
<p>Elizabeth explained that although they come from different backgrounds, they’ve both spent their lives in show business and are happiest in the countryside. She said they enjoy birdwatching together while she gardens and Billy Ray sits under a tree playing guitar.</p>
<h3>Elizabeth Hurley Opens Up About Miley Cyrus</h3>
<p>The “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” star also revealed she has met Miley Cyrus.</p>
<p>“She’s adorable,” Elizabeth said.</p>
<p>Although she’d never met Miley before dating Billy Ray, Elizabeth said her son was a huge “Hannah Montana” fan and introduced her to Miley’s music years earlier.</p>

<p>A song that changed my life is <a href="https://song.link/s/7frJEBqz0olVg8sQpXD5BF" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Double Trouble”</a> by The Roots, and the liner notes that Questlove wrote to go with the song. There’s a change in the drum sound in that song that blew my mind, and Questlove wrote a little bit about the effort that went into getting that drum sound. And as a drummer myself, I wanted to know everything about that. And that moment 26 years ago was maybe when the first seed for Song Exploder got planted in my brain. So getting to talk to him for this is really special for me. </p>
<p>Questlove has an encyclopedic knowledge of music. It’s really astounding. He knows so much about so many artists, and he’s just directed a new <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth,_Wind_%26_Fire_(To_Be_Celestial_vs_That%27s_the_Weight_of_the_World)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">documentary</a> about <a href="https://www.earthwindandfire.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Earth, Wind & Fire,</a> which is out now. But one of the artists he knows best is <a href="https://www.prince.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prince</a>. He was recently asked by Rolling Stone to rank the <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-prince-songs-1235544189/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">top 100 Prince songs</a>. And for this episode, we talked about the song that he put at #1 on the list.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The truth hurts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sometimes it’s the listener who feels it, sometimes it’s a third person who’s victimized by the pain, and sometimes the truth-teller suffers worse than anyone else for having to say it.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But people lie. Regardless of their reasons or their intent, that creates drama. And that drama is ripe for country songs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lying is an enormously popular topic in country. It was in the music even before <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/hank-williams/">Hank Williams</a> blasted a dishonest lover in “Your Cheatin’ Heart” in the 1950s. Lies remain at the core of the genre now.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I think you always come to country music when your heart is broken, and lying is usually the biggest reason that a heart gets broken,” suggests <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-band-perry/">The Band Perry</a>’s lead vocalist, Kimberly Perry. “We have those standard topics in our format. We write love songs to beer. We have a lot of gospel-adjacent themes in our music, and then cheating and lying and heartbreak would have to be the third tier of that trilogy.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Or, perhaps, the third tear.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lies are, once again, earning attention in the genre. The Band Perry’s “You Lie” has been reimagined as a new collaboration with Kaitlin Butts. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/morgan-wallen/">Morgan Wallen</a>’s “Lies Lies Lies” and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jelly-roll/">Jelly Roll</a>’s “Liar” both topped <em>Billboard</em>’s Country Airplay in the last 20 months. And <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/zach-top/">Zach Top</a>’s “I Never Lie” peaked at No. 2 while snagging two nominations each in the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music and Grammy Awards shows.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Corey Kent’s current “Empty Words,” at No. 39 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/country-airplay/">Country Airplay</a> list dated Aug. 1, provides a particularly detailed understanding of lies and their consequences. Its protagonist has shape-shifted his stories so much that now “even the truth sounds like a lie.” The guy is left to himself, forced to wallow in his self-created, negative consequences. The scenario in “Empty Words” doesn’t match Kent’s experiences exactly, but he’s been banished to the couch in his marriage, so the song is based in a reality he’s lived.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Contrary to popular belief, I think that truth still sells,” he says. “Making up a story about meeting a girl in a bar, when you clearly didn’t live like that, that still works, but I think this works on a deeper level. Like, everybody’s been there, even if it’s not this exact storyline, even if you didn’t mess up to the point where she left forever.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A night or two on the couch may be a transitory condition in an otherwise stable relationship, but when lying becomes a long-term problem, it also yields long-term results.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Trust is a toothpick,” “Empty Words” co-writer and co-producer Austin Goodloe suggests. “It is very easy to break, and when you put it back together, it doesn’t really go back the same.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	 That’s an issue in interpersonal relationships, but this current round of country hand-wringing about truth and lies may symbolize a greater urgency in the country at large.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m a big believer that whatever’s happening in culture, music is just the mirror of that,” Perry says.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Dishonesty is arguably pulling the country apart. An Economist/YouGov poll released July 21 found that only 24% of Americans view the current president as honest. In perhaps his most divisive issue, President Trump still claims he won the 2020 presidential election, though courts have determined otherwise. Still, through constant repetition of the story — frequently referred to as the Big Lie — a chunk of the American public has been persuaded to support the narrative, creating enormous tension as the U.S. looks to an important election in November.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That’s kind of what’s been in the zeitgeist,” notes Chad Karger, co-executive director of Porter’s Call, a Franklin, Tenn.-based non-profit that provides counseling for recording artists. “We have a president who seems to play pretty loose and fast with the facts. And in his case, all these [supporters] who espouse some sort of Christian belief [are] making accommodations for that… but in their personal life, they probably don’t tolerate the same [behavior] as they do [from] their president.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No artist is grappling with the trust issue more than Bryan Andrews, an independent act whose first album, <em>Independence Day</em>, employs the word “truth” three times across eight tracks filled with political vitriol. Most of it is directed at the president, but some is also focused on the system at large. As a 20-something progressive from red-state Missouri, he shares a frustration that crosses party lines in his age group, as current economics make it difficult for many young Americans to see a future as promising as their parents’ lives. As he intimates in “The Older I Get,” the first political song he released last fall, the life he anticipated turned out to be a lie.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You expect to have transparency with people that you trust, because at the end of the day, whether it’s your government or your partner or your family, they’re supposed to want to have your best interests at heart,” Andrews says. “It hurts to find out that sometimes they don’t.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Trust is a fragile state that develops differently based on childhood dynamics. Children who grow up in dishonest households have difficulty trusting as adults, while kids who come from homes where their parents were honest and reliable frequently go through painful adjustments once they’re out on their own. They may be misled by phony romantic partners or acquaintances when they simply don’t anticipate lies.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Because my mom ingrained that into me, I would forget that people could do that,” “You Lie” collaborator Butts concedes. “Like, that wasn’t an option [for me], and so I get taken advantage of or lied to… I had no idea that people did that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As a teenager, Butts was particularly drawn to The Band Perry’s original version of “You Lie,” belting it frequently around the house, even though she didn’t have firsthand experience with a conniving boyfriend at the time. The song contains plenty of humor, enough to offset some of the more pointed anger in the second verse that now features Butts as the soloist.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I love that it’s tongue-in-cheek,” she says, “a little bit of murder, a little bit of everything.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Humor, it turns out, is a great way to address deception in art. Collin Raye’s “That’s My Story,” Terri Clark’s “Girls Lie Too,” Kenny Chesney’s “Out Last Night” and Lefty Frizzell’s “Saginaw, Michigan” all weave some form of deceit into a lighthearted plot. They can be thought of as the country music version of a sitcom, a TV format that often relies on miscommunication and/or lies to set up the schtick.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Andrews is taking that humor to heart as he creates new music. He’s spent several days in Nashville writing new songs in July, and suggests that his next round of material may be less harsh than the current release. <em>Independence Day</em>, a mix of metal and country, is notably biting, but it also couches some of its anger in clever wordplay. He’s purposely attempted to approach this new music with a lighter touch, believing it will make a better connection as he continues to deliver his message.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Truth looks a lot different to everybody,” he says. “It’s a subjective term. But for me, especially when I was seeing other artists speak about things that they were passionate about, even though I disagreed with them, it gave me conviction to be able to speak my truth, you know, and talk about the world that I see around me, and it ain’t so great right now. Truth hurts sometimes.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Part of what has made perceptions of the truth so volatile lies in the skills of public figures and digital creators. <em>The Oxford Dictionary</em> named “post-truth” the word of the year a decade ago, recognizing the proclivity of people to ignore provable reality and believe in fluid narratives — such as conspiracy theories — that mirror a gut feeling, even if there’s little factual support for the position.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We’re in a post-truth era,” author Will Kaufman says. “So how can you claim to be singing three chords and the truth when nobody knows what the truth is anymore?”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kaufman’s next book — <em>American Song and Struggle from World War II to MAGA: A Cultural History</em> (Oct. 31, Cambridge University Press) — has an entire chapter titled “What is Truth,” named after Johnny Cash’s 1970 Vietnam War commentary. As in the current cultural scenario, that era had a conservative president overseeing an unpopular war while using heavy-handed tactics to vilify his critics. Cash played the White House at the time, and President Richard Nixon requested he play “Welfare Cadillac” and “Okie from Muskogee,” songs by other artists that supported Nixon’s politics. Cash declined and instead closed his set with “What is Truth,” which includes a verse in which a hippie is required to tell the truth under oath in a courtroom. The substance of his words, however, is missed by observers focused on his appearance.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s really interesting that [Cash is] speaking truth to power by letting power know that truth itself is open to question,” Kaufman says. “It’s okay to question someone’s version of truth.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The truth one interprets from the world may vary, but the underlying reality does not. Whether it’s a politician, a stranger on a dating app or a country artist presenting themselves on social media, a lie is an attempt to make someone else believe in something that isn’t real. And many lies — perhaps most — are destined to be revealed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Is there a difference between truths and facts?” Kaufman asks rhetorically. “Maybe there are competing truths, but I don’t think there are competing facts. A fact is, you know, two and two is four. When Kellyanne Conway says there are alternative facts, a fact is a fact.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Still, not all lies are the same. While Miranda Lambert’s “White Liar” is bitter, a typical white lie is more likely well-intended.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I feel like lies are on a scale,” says songwriter Matt Alderman, a co-writer of Mitchell Tenpenny’s “Truth About You,” which peaked at No. 2 on Country Airplay in 2022. “Not all lies are bad. Like, if your wife asks you if she looks pretty in a dress, and you don’t think she looks pretty, you lie. I would say that that’s a good lie. You don’t want to just insult people all the time.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Arguably, the worst lies are the ones directed at ourselves. George Jones’ “She Thinks I Still Care,” Deborah Allen’s “Baby I Lied,” Alan Jackson’s “Someday,” Ricky Van Shelton’s “Somebody Lied” and Clint Black’s “We Tell Ourselves” — much like Wallen’s “Lies Lies Lies” — capture an inner voice that has denied a deeper reality.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Over time, one of the most detrimental lies that we can tell is the one that we keep telling ourselves,” Karger says. “Whether it be a counselor, or a guide, or a coach, or a friend, or a pastor, a spouse or whatever — having someone who has the fortitude to speak to that and to call it out is, I think, incredibly important to having a really happy and well-adjusted life.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The truth is elusive. But it’s worth seeking it out, which is why country songwriters devote three chords or more in search of it.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Yeah,” Alderman says. “People want to hear songs about it.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Merck Mercuriadis</strong>, the founder and former CEO of Hipgnosis who recently launched a new venture called Hipgnosis Artist Partnerships, is slated to deliver the keynote at the 2026 Music Tectonics conference, it was announced on Wednesday (July 29). Mercuriadis will speak on Oct. 28 at the Santa Monica, Calif., gathering, which is set to run from Oct. 27-29.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mercuriadis is widely recognized for his role in popularizing music as an asset class after founding catalog investment group Hipgnosis. The group spanned a suite of companies including two catalog acquisition funds (a public fund, Hipgnosis Songs Fund, and the privately held Hipgnosis Songs Assets, backed by Blackstone) and an investment manager (Hipgnosis Songs Management). It was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/hipgnosis-name-change-music-catalog-company-recognition/">renamed Recognition Music Group</a> in 2024, shortly after Blackstone acquired its public fund. Earlier that same year, Mercuriadis <a href="https://www.billboard.com/business/business-news/merck-mercuriadis-exit-ceo-hipgnosis-song-management-chairman-ben-katovsky-1235596109/">stepped down</a> as CEO of the investment manager and was succeeded by <strong>Ben Katovsky</strong>.</p>

	Hipgnosis Artist Partnerships, effectively a revamp of the earlier Hipgnosis, was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/hipgnosis-merck-mercuriadis-new-venture-catalog-blackstone/">launched</a> by Mercuriadis last year.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This year, we want to rally everyone from top label execs to publishers to artist managers to artists and founders around a single theme, how we can work together to create a rising tide that lifts all boats,” said <strong>Dmitri Vietze</strong>, founder of Music Tectonics, in a statement. “Merck knows what can grow music and grow value. He pulls no punches when it comes to amplifying truths that push us all past industry blinders. I’m prepared to be surprised by what he presents. And a little afraid. But in a good way.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Added Mercuriadis, “The last decade has transformed the fortunes of the music industry through systemic change in how people consume music as streaming grew from 30 million to over 800 million paid subscribers globally. The next decade will further transform the fortunes of artists, songwriters, producers and managers, without whom there is no music industry, through what will be the most significant value shift ever.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As it does every year, Music Tectonics 2026 will include a series of panels on the intersection of music and tech, including:</p>

	<em>Welcome to Billboard Pro’s <strong>Trending Up</strong> newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry’s attention. Some have come out of nowhere, others have taken months to catch on, and all of them could become ubiquitous in the blink of a TikTok clip. <br> <br>This week: Magnus Ferrell scores a breakout hit, Latto and Doja Cat get some added momentum from a much-discussed music video — and yes, one more World Cup-related song. </em></p>

	It seems that a new successor to the lineage of Robin Thicke/Justin Timberlake-esque blue-eyed soul has emerged — and he happens to be the son of Emmy-winning comedy icon Will Ferrell. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Magnus Ferrell released “Asleep Talking” — a soulful midtempo number that recalls the laid-back groove of jazz-infused classics like Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do for Love” — in the spring (April 24), but a recent wave of social media love via key podcast mentions have helped the track gain new momentum this summer. On July 1, the senior Ferrell stopped by Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson’s <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@magnusferrell/video/7657922615364947231?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815"><em>IMO</em> podcast</a>, where he proudly played a snippet of his son’s buzzy track.</p>

	By July 23, “Asleep Talking” earned a favorable mention from <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@magnusferrell/video/7665798117144546591?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815">The Morning Shift Show</a>, which boasts over 1.6 million followers on TikTok alone.

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to Luminate, “Asleep” earned just 67,000 official on-demand U.S. streams during the period of July 18-21. Over the next four days (July 22-25), “Asleep” vaulted a whopping 892% to over 670,000 official on-demand streams.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With its No. 24 debut on the Aug. 1-dated Digital Song Sales chart, “Asleep” helps Magnus officially join his father as a <em>Billboard</em>-charting artist. Back in 2020, “Husavik,” Will Ferrell’s song from his Netflix comedy <em>Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, </em>peaked at No. 16 on the same ranking. — <em>KYLE DENIS</em></p>

		<strong>Glamorous Music Video Lifts Latto & Doja Cat’s ‘Okayyy’</strong> 	</h2>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Last week (July 21), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/latto">Latto</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/doja-cat">Doja Cat</a> dropped their sexy <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTRCk8UROwU">“Okayyy” music video</a> — and it’s already having an impact on the song’s streaming success. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Taken from Latto’s new <em>Big Mama</em> LP, “Okayyy” earned over 823,000 official on-demand U.S. streams in the five-day period preceding the music video (July 16-20), according to Lumiante. In the five-day period following the video’s release (July 21-25), that number leapt 308% to over 3.36 million streams. On YouTube, the “Okayyy” music video has surpassed 4.7 million views in just over a week, and the official TikTok sound plays in over 237,000 posts. <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/kevindamier_/status/2079670507645931818?s=20">Drawing</a> <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/femcrave/status/2079300183188222035?s=20">praise</a> for their complementary fashion and glam — and <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/xm_muva/status/2079617814717960556?s=20">sound</a> <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/omoge555/status/2079637463971062203?s=20">critique</a> for how the video’s almost-exclusive use of dark-skinned black men as mute background props plays into colorist tropes — the “Okayyy” video has been virtually inescapable across social media. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Latto hasn’t landed a Billboard Hot 100 entry from <em>Big Mama</em> since last summer’s “Somebody” (No. 94), but “Okayyy” could change that should the song maintain its post-music video momentum. Notably, on Oct. 1, Latto will join Doja’s Tour Ma Vie World Tour as the special guest for the trek’s North American leg. — <em>K.D.</em> </p>

		<strong>Don Miguel’s 2020 Banger Takes Off Again After Yamal World Cup Celebration</strong>	</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Yamal is the official owner of this song,” reads one comment on the YouTube page for Don Miguel’s “Y Qué Fue?” That may be going a little far — the Dominican dembow artist’s 2020 single had already racked up hundreds of millions of plays on both YouTube and Spotify before Spain took home the gold trophy at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But the song has certainly gone to a new level in the past week and a half, following the country’s 21-year-old superstar using the song as the soundtrack to his introduction at the team’s championship celebration at the Plaza de Cibeles last Monday (July 20). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Y Qué Fue?” (in English: “And what happened?”) went newly viral after Lamine Yamal’s entrance to the hard-hitting dance song, complete with a little dance shuffle that helped it catch on social media. (Don Miguelo also shared video of the intro <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbB2GqBsE5Z/" target="_blank">on Instagram</a>.) Consequently, the song has exploded on streaming, racking up nearly 1.9 million official on-demand U.S. streams for the tracking week ending July 23, according to Luminate — a 159% gain over the prior week. It even debuted on both the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-global-200/">Global 200</a> (No. 148) and the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs/">Hot Latin Songs</a> chart (No. 15) dated Aug. 1, six years after its initial release. </p>

	Will the streaming bumps from this World Cup ever stop? Not if the winning country has anything to say about it. — <em>ANDREW UNTERBERGER</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Majestic girl group <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/flo/">FLO</a> is entering their sophomore era with intense momentum. Ahead of the Aug. 7 release of <em>Therapy at the Club</em>, the British R&B trio offers <em>Billboard</em> a closer look at the 16-song project, which includes previously released songs “Leak It,” “Don’t Break Her Heart” and the title track, as well as yet-to-be-released songs “Floating,” “Cry Ugly,” “HaterBooth,” “Miss U Missing Me” and “Small Doses.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Behind the music, though, there was a creative shift that the trio says happened long before the tracklist was finalized.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Speaking with <em>Billboard</em>, FLO shares that making <em>Therapy at the Club </em>meant becoming more outspoken in the studio, even when it felt uncomfortable. Instead of holding back their feedback, the group said they learned to trust their instincts and advocate for what they wanted the album to sound and feel like.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It felt really good,” member Stella Quaresma says. “I think that it comes to a point where you just have to rip the Band-Aid off. Some things can feel confrontational or uncomfortable, but we’re all in the room to make a great song.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That mindset, they explain, changed the entire creative process.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It feels good to just say how you feel and say, ‘I don’t like that,’ or ‘try that,'” Quaresma continued, adding that speaking up left the group “in a much better place creatively.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The confidence seems to have carried over into every corner of the album-making process. Compared to debut album <em>Access All Areas</em>, which introduced the trio’s rich harmonies and nostalgic R&B influences, FLO says <em>Therapy at the Club</em> reflects who they are as both artists and women.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It definitely feels more grown,” Renée Downer says. “We have grown up. We have been heavily involved in the album. We immersed ourselves into it… figuring out what needed healing and figuring out what we wanted to talk about. It feels very honest and more real.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That evolution extends beyond the songwriting. While discussing the cinematic music video for their song “Leak It,” the group candidly admitted they hadn’t been “100% happy” with some of their previous music videos, making it a priority for this era’s visuals to better showcase the ambition of the songs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We knew that song had to have a big moment and a big video,” Quaresma states. Downer chimes in as well, adding, “You want to make the video an accurate representation of the music. If the music feels big, it’s always kind of sad if the video doesn’t match it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The album arrives after a breakout stretch for FLO: <em>Access All Areas</em> earned the triad a Grammy nomination for best progressive R&B album earlier this year after reaching No. 20 on Top R&B Albums in late 2024.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	If <em>Access All Areas</em> introduced FLO to the world, <em>Therapy at the Club</em> appears poised to show listeners a more self-assured version of the trio: one that’s no longer afraid to speak up, both inside and outside the recording studio.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shared one day prior to “Petal Radio” airing on the platform Thursday (July 30) at 5 p.m. PT with a more in-depth conversation about the LP, the clip shows Grande sitting on the bed that is part of her stage design on the Eternal Sunshine Tour. When asked which of the 12 tracks on <em>Petal </em>she’s most excited for fans to hear, the Grammy winner couldn’t choose.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m equally excited to see how they react to every single song,” she said. “It pulls from many different parts of myself and yet, at the same time, it is very experimental and different for me. I wrote from a place that I don’t usually, which was like an unfiltered rage that I think we all feel sometimes.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I usually am too shy to tap into that,” she continued. “This time, I didn’t filter as much as I usually do. I usually do a lot of rewrites and make things a little kinder. This time, I didn’t.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s not the first time Grande has hinted that <em>Petal </em>has a bit of a temper. In May, she posted a video of herself breaking down the message of the album in a meeting with her team, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ariana-grande-new-album-petal-done-being-polite-1236241419/">saying at the time</a>: “It’s a little feral. It’s definitely from a place I’ve been maybe too shy or polite to tap into before. This kind of just feels like, ‘F–k it.’”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fans will have to wait until the full album drops on Friday (July 31) to get the full picture, but the snippets of <em>Petal </em>they’ve heard so far definitely live up to Grande’s description. On <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> No. 1 lead single “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” for instance, she muses with brutal honesty, “I’ve held your projections when you’ve felt so insecure/ Tell me, why is it this way?/ Why you so hate to see women endure?/ Is it really my fault you all gave me your hearts of your own accord?”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Good luck on your way to hell,” the vocalist sings plainly on a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ariana-grande-song-snippets-petal-alternate-album-disc-1236289792/">clip from one song</a> she posted on Instagram earlier in July.</p>

	And on the title track — which <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ariana-grande-debuts-new-petal-song-eternal-sunshine-tour-1236305216/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">she debuted live</a> on stage at her first Eternal Sunshine Tour show in Montreal — she further addresses her relationship to being in the public eye. “All of my favorite stories end in some kind of catastrophe,” the lyrics read. “But I don’t need someone to save me/ ’Cause this music and I will never die.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The electronic world is reeling Wednesday (July 29) with <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kavinsky-death-producer-drive-soundtrack-song-dead-1236305064/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kavinsky-death-producer-drive-soundtrack-song-dead-1236305064/">the news of Kavinsky’s death</a>. The French synthwave producer was found dead in his Paris home on the night of July 28, local time, with police reporting that the artist had been experiencing headaches and may have died from a stroke. An inquiry has been opened to determine the cause of death, with first responders finding nothing suspicious at the scene. He was 50 years old.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A synthwave pioneer, Kavinsky was a key member of the global swell of French Touch in the early and mid-2000s and into the 2010s. He became famous for 2010’s “Nightcall,” a synthwave masterpiece and staple of the era that gained global renown when it was used in the 2011 film <em>Drive</em>, starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Now, the artist born Vincent Belorgey is being remembered by friends and associates.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Just learned about Kavinsky’s passing,” David Guetta <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbYbmnTqJu6/?hl=en" data-type="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbYbmnTqJu6/?hl=en" target="_blank">wrote</a> on social media. “A true icon of French electronic music. Thank you for creating a sound that was entirely your own and for leaving us with music that will continue to inspire. Thank you for your kindness and simplicity. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and loved ones. Rest in peace.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Kavinsky was the funniest person I’ve ever met,” <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbYcxrqkajm/?hl=en&img_index=1" data-type="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DbYcxrqkajm/?hl=en&img_index=1" target="_blank">wrote</a> A-Trak. “As I sit here processing the sadness of losing a dear friend, I think this is what he would want me to remember. The good times. There were many sides to Vinco. Of course there was the Kavinsky character, the zombie in the ‘Teddy’ varsity jacket, driving a Testarossa — whose music became more celebrated than ever in recent years since the French Olympics. But there was also a man who, in my case, joined the Fools Gold Records tour on the first year of the label, who had us in tears cracking up every time we saw him, who stayed at my apartment in Montreal back in the day, who had a nickname for everyone in the crew. The lore runs deep, a lot of stories will have to wait for another day but for now go watch the video for Mr. Oizo’s ‘<a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwCWYnyJxoI" data-type="link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwCWYnyJxoI" target="_blank">Analog Worms Attack</a>‘ to get a glimpse of Vincent the actor before he became a musician. Everyone who met him was marked by his charisma. RIP to the silver fox.”</p>

A few months ago I played ‘Nightcall’ at Coachella as the sun set and I got chills sharing this unique moment with the crowd. It’s a generational record that our kids will discover as well. Sending love to his friends and family.”</p>

Your brilliant, masterful music will stay with me—and all of us—forever. We shared so much over the years: records, movies, music videos, fits of laughter, and endless nights out!!! I’m going to miss you terribly, my Vinco —as will the whole French Touch scene and our beloved Montmartre neighborhood. You were, and always will be, a legend!!!”</p>

	On Wednesday (July 28), Caribbean Elite Group, which presents the awards, announced that the fourth annual ceremony will take place Sept. 18-20 in Trinidad & Tobago. The buzzy move follows a stellar three-year run at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre, where the Caribbean Music Awards united artists, key industry players and fans in one of the world’s most robust diaspora cities.</p>

	“Four years hosting the Caribbean Music Awards? Mi feel like dem haffi give me my own seat at this point!” said Majah Hype. “But seriously, being part of this journey from day one has been a blessing. I’ve watched this celebration grow, seen the incredible talent come through, and witnessed how much this moment means to our people. To see it expand from Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre to Trinidad & Tobago is something special. Caribbean culture is powerful, the talent is endless, and mi ready fi celebrate everybody who continues to carry our music and our culture to the world.”</p>

To do it in Trinidad, surrounded by our people and our culture, makes this moment even more meaningful.

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bts">BTS</a>’ <em>ARIRANG</em> flies back into the top 10 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200">Billboard 200</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/top-album-sales">Top Album Sales</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/vinyl-albums/">Vinyl Albums</a> charts (dated Aug. 1), following a flurry of promotion and the release of a new picture disc vinyl edition of the hit set.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>ARIRANG</em> moves from 26-9 on the Billboard 200, 19-2 on Vinyl Albums and 12-3 on Top Album Sales. The project debuted at No. 1 across all three rankings on the April 4-dated chart. In the tracking week ending July 23 (reflected on the Aug. 1-dated charts), <em>ARIRANG</em> earned 40,000 equivalent album units in the United States (up 62% week-over-week), according to Luminate, with vinyl purchases accounting for about 12,500 of that sum (up 398% week-over-week).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>ARIRANG</em>’s new vinyl variant — a picture disc with two bonus tracks — was released on July 17 and drives the bulk of the album’s sales gain for the week. The vinyl package also includes collectible paper ephemera, including an eight-card Polaroid set.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyond the vinyl release, <em>ARIRANG</em>’s chart jump was aided by promotion surrounding its <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/bts-normal-single-tabloid-late-night-gathering-newspaper-ads-1236293905/">new single</a> “Normal,” and BTS’ co-headlining turn during the FIFA World Cup final halftime show on July 19, where the group performed its 2020 No. 1 Hot 100 hit “Dynamite.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Top Album Sales, <em>ARIRANG</em> is among a busy top three <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/top-album-sales/2026-08-01/">on the Aug. 1 chart,</a> as Gracie Abrams notches her best sales week ever with the No. 1 debut of <em>Daughter From Hell</em> (77,000) and Motionless In White’s <em>Decades</em> debuts at No. 2 (its fourth top 10 and highest charting title yet). Check out the latest ranking’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/top-album-sales/2026-08-01/">entire top 10</a>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This year has already been a jam-packed for <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/cardi-b/">Cardi B</a>, and now she’s set to release her first single since 2025’s <em>Am I the Drama?</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/cardi-b-slams-donald-trump-new-song-preview-video-1236304238/">previewing the single “Ah Ha” </a>on Monday (July 27), the overwhelmingly positive reception from the Bardi Gang pushed Cardi and Atlantic Records to slap a release date on the single, which is slated to hit streaming services on Friday (July 31). “Meet me at the club,” Cardi captioned the IG post announcing the release date.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On “Ah Ha,” Cardi delivers a catchy chorus, which finds her repeating the song’s title, and then goes on to snipe at her opps and the men after her.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“A n—a can’t trap me, I won’t keep it/ B—es really hate me, so be it/ Bathroom floors and these hoes both heated/ It goes threee, two, to the one in this b—h/ I’ll give a hoe exactly what she want in this b—h,” she raps. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The 33-year-old rapper even disses <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> on the track, which she’s had no problem doing when <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/cardi-b-donald-trump-not-for-poor-people-1236098629/">speaking out</a> against the president publicly in the past.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Black trucks at the club look like Trump in this b—h, f–k him/ A hoe never played with me once in this b—h,” she continues. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The hard-hitting single’s cover art shows Cardi posing in the same Dominican Republic-themed flag bikini she wore on the beach in the initial track teaser video.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cardi <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/BardiUpdatess/status/2081983502422024597">hopped on IG Live</a> on Tuesday (July 28) to clear up any confusion surrounding the “a n—a can’t trap me bar,” which fans believed was a shot at ex-boyfriend Stefon Diggs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I know exactly how I felt when I said that s–t. I could have a baby with a n—a, but that’s the issue,” she said. “You could have a baby with a n—a, and sometimes n—as think that because you have a baby with them or you gonna keep a baby or you have a baby that you won’t move the f–k on or you’ll stay there taking s–t. Nah, b—h, I’ll take my baby and get the f–k on. That’s for sure. Like nah, b—h, a baby ain’t trapping me b—h.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cardi kicked off the Little Miss Drama Tour in February, which served as her first headlining North American trek. She’s continued to remain outside since <em>Am I the Drama?</em>‘s arrival in September 2025, which topped the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200. </a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Release day tends to get all the attention. You post the cover art and share the streaming links. You send an email and make a few social posts to tell everyone the song is finally out. Then a few days pass.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The initial excitement starts to slow down and it feels like all the energy for the new release is gone. It would be easy at this moment to move on and start thinking about the next release.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But for serious artists, release day is not the finish line. It’s the starting point for the next phase of promotion that can last for months. After your release is when you are able to fully </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here’s a practical post-release checklist for the first 30 days after your song comes out.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Make Sure Everything Looks Right</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before you start pushing the song everywhere, take a few minutes to check the basics.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Look at your release on every major platform where it appears:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Spotify</li>
<li>Apple Music</li>
<li>YouTube Music</li>
<li>Amazon Music</li>
<li>TIDAL</li>
<li>Instagram/Facebook music library</li>
<li>TikTok music library</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Make sure the artist name, song title, artwork, audio, credits, and explicit tags are correct.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also check that the song landed on the correct artist profile. This is especially important if you have a common artist name or if this is one of your first releases.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you find something is wrong, you’ll need to contact your distributor as soon as possible. Small metadata issues can create bigger problems later, especially if they split your catalog across multiple profiles or make it harder for fans to find the right song.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Update Your Artist Profiles</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your new song may be the first thing someone hears from you. But if they like it, the next thing they’ll do is check out your profile.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Make sure your artist presence looks active and current.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Update your:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Artist bio</li>
<li>Profile photo</li>
<li>Header image</li>
<li>Social links</li>
<li>Website link</li>
<li>Tour dates</li>
<li>Merch links</li>
<li>Featured playlists</li>
<li>Pinned posts or artist picks</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A listener should be able to land on your profile and quickly understand who you are, what you sound like, and what they should do next.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t make people work too hard to become a fan.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Keep Talking About the Song After Release Day</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A common mistake is treating promotion like a one-day announcement.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One post that says “my new song is out now” is not effective music marketing. It’s a notification that the majority of your fans will miss if it only happens once on release day.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, it’s important to have a broader messaging strategy and not keep posting the same thing over and over again. Use your marketing efforts as a way to tell the story of the new release and the current state of your artist journey. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of repeating the same message, find new angles.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Talk about:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>What inspired the song</li>
<li>What the lyrics mean</li>
<li>How the recording came together</li>
<li>A specific sound, instrument, or production choice</li>
<li>The story behind the artwork</li>
<li>What you hope listeners feel when they hear it</li>
<li>A line from the song that means something to you</li>
<li>A behind-the-scenes moment from the process</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal is to give them more reasons to care. The more reasons people have to care, the better the chances they’ll go deeper with the music and move toward being a dedicated fan.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Turn the Song Into Multiple Pieces of Content</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your song is not just one streaming link. It is a content engine.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pull different moments from the release and turn them into posts, videos, emails, and short-form clips.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You could create:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A lyric video clip</li>
<li>A behind-the-scenes studio clip</li>
<li>A stripped-down performance</li>
<li>A “story behind the song” video</li>
<li>A post explaining one lyric</li>
<li>A carousel with photos from the writing or recording process</li>
<li>A short video showing how the track started vs. how it ended</li>
<li>A playlist featuring your song alongside influences</li>
<li>A fan question: “What line hits you the hardest?”</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You do not need to create complicated content. You just need to keep giving the song new entry points. You can think about this like how radio works. The more people hear a new song, the more they tend to like it and go listen on their own.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Different fans connect with different things. Some care about the lyrics. Some care about the vibe. Some care about the story. Some just need to hear the hook at the right moment.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Watch the Right Metrics</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s easy to obsess over total streams. Streams matter, but they don’t tell the whole story.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After release day, look for signs that people are actually connecting.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pay attention to:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Saves</li>
<li>Playlist adds</li>
<li>Repeat listeners</li>
<li>Follower growth</li>
<li>Profile visits</li>
<li>Social comments</li>
<li>Shares</li>
<li>Email replies</li>
<li>Merch or ticket activity</li>
<li>Where listeners are coming from</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A smaller number of engaged listeners is more valuable than a random spike from people who never come back.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If people are saving the song, sharing it, adding it to playlists, or following you after listening, that is a good sign. It means the song is doing more than generating plays. It is helping build your audience.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Personally Invite People to Listen</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Personal connections are still very important when promoting your music. Are you harnessing the complete power of your social connections and network?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After release day, think about the people who are most likely to care:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Longtime fans</li>
<li>Friends who support your music</li>
<li>Local industry connections (booker/promoter)</li>
<li>Playlist curators you already know</li>
<li>Other artists in your scene</li>
<li>Past collaborators</li>
<li>Local press</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reach out in a genuine way. Don’t spam everyone with the same message.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A simple note can work:</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Hey, I just released a new song that I think you’d really connect with. I’d love for you to hear it when you have a minute.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Personal outreach takes more time, but it often creates deeper engagement than another generic post.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. Give Fans a Clear Next Step</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once someone listens, what should they do next?</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many artists forget this part.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t just say, “Listen now.” Give people a simple action that helps move your career forward.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ask them to:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Follow you on Spotify</li>
<li>Save the song</li>
<li>Add it to a playlist</li>
<li>Share it with one friend</li>
<li>Join your email list</li>
<li>Watch the video</li>
<li>Comment with their favorite lyric</li>
<li>Come to a show</li>
<li>Check out your merch</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You don’t need to ask for everything at once. In fact, you shouldn’t.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pick one clear next step based on what matters most for where you’re at with your release now.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. Add the Song to Your Own Ecosystem</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An often overlooked part of promoting a release is getting your artist website and all the important artist profiles online updated to reflect the new song.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Add links and mentions to the places you control or manage:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Your website</li>
<li>Your ReverbNation profile</li>
<li>Your email newsletter</li>
<li>Your link-in-bio page</li>
<li>Your YouTube channel</li>
<li>Your artist playlists</li>
<li>Your live show setlist</li>
<li>Your merch table QR code</li>
<li>Your press kit</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The more connected and consistent your artist messaging is, the easier it is for people to move from casual listener to actual fan.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>9. Re-Promote the Song With a New Angle</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">About one to two weeks after release day, it’s common for artists to stop promoting their new release. It’s usually because they feel like they ran out of things to say.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of going dark or moving on to the next thing, relaunch the conversation with a new angle.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“The lyric people keep asking me about…”</li>
<li>“Here’s how this song started.”</li>
<li>“This part almost didn’t make the final version.”</li>
<li>“I made a playlist of songs that inspired this release.”</li>
<li>“Here’s what this song means to me now that it’s out.”</li>
<li>“If you missed it last week, this one is for you.”</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This gives you a reason to talk about the song again without sounding repetitive.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A release can have multiple moments. The announcement is just one of them.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>10. Use What You Learn for the Next Release</strong></h4>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first 30 days after a song comes out can teach you a lot.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ask yourself:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Which posts got the most response?</li>
<li>Which clips made people stop and listen?</li>
<li>Which platform drove the most meaningful engagement?</li>
<li>Did listeners save or share the song?</li>
<li>Did you gain followers?</li>
<li>Did your email list respond?</li>
<li>Did any unexpected audience or location show up in your stats?</li>
<li>What would you do differently next time?</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every release should make the next release stronger.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is how momentum gets built. Not from one perfect campaign, but from paying attention, learning, adjusting, and showing up again with a better plan.</p>

<p>My guest today is the actor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatiana_Maslany" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tatiana Maslany.</a> One of the things I find so compelling about Tatiana and her career is that the roles that she plays often contain multitudes—literally. She played over 10 different characters-clones, but with distinct personalities-in the TV show <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_Black" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Orphan Black</em>.</a> And in the Marvel Universe, she played <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Hulk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">She-Hulk,</a> who also had the very different alter ego of Jennifer Walters, a lawyer. And right now, she’s starring in the show <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Pleasure_Guaranteed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed</em></a> on AppleTV. When Tatiana prepares for her roles—and the roles within the roles—she often uses music to inspire and motivate her. Today, I got to talk to Tatiana about a song that’s been really important to her and her process. And that song is <a href="https://song.link/s/0y4YmA9UGpQnWdIFbWBHu0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Faceshopping”</a> by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_(musician)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sophie.</a></p>
<p>If you’re not aware of Sophie’s music, she was an incredible, groundbreaking electronic artist from the UK. She was trans, and she passed away far too young, in 2021. But even in a short time, she made a big impact. In addition to her own music, she also produced tracks for <a href="https://www.charlixcx.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Charli XCX</a>, and <a href="https://www.madonna.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqEHB5yAsdMEOawgotjsV0CH3W2db_ES9ty9NsaqKv5AulAumPf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Madonna</a>, and more. In 2018, she released her breakthrough Grammy-nominated album, <a href="https://album.link/s/23lnmHhZwyercCJhmyPXYN" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides</em>,</a> which dealt a lot with her trans identity. And that’s the album that has the song “Faceshopping.” </p>

She was a child actor on Disney and Nickelodeon, and briefly in a girl group called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stunners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Stunners</a>. But then, she started her career as a solo artist. In 2015, she put out the EP <a href="https://album.link/s/1DBeQGiRdap7iuvuxSx3bD" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>This Side of Paradise</em></a>, and one of the songs on it was “Girls Like Girls.” She co-wrote it with <a href="https://www.jamartistsgroup.com/married-to-the-music-with-lily-may-young-and-owen-thomas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lily May-Young and Owen Thomas</a>, and it was produced by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Flannigan_(songwriter)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">James Flannigan</a>. Hayley co-directed the music video for it, and when the song and the video came out, it was an absolute phenomenon. It became a lesbian anthem; Rolling Stone named it <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-inspirational-lgbtq-anthems-pride-songs-1234773829/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one of the most inspiring LGBTQ songs of all time</a>. Hayley’s legion of fans gave her the nickname “Lesbian Jesus.” In 2023, Hayley adapted the song into <a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250899279/girlslikegirls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a bestselling coming-of-age novel</a>. And in June 2026, she made her feature film directorial debut, with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_Like_Girls_(film)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">movie adaptation of “Girls Like Girls.”</a> So for this episode, Hayley and I talked about how it all started with the making of that song. </p>

	Written by Jessica Farren, Chris McKenna, Nicholas Sainato and Christian Yancey, the track assumes the lead from Ella Langley’s “Be Her,” which descends to No. 3 after a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/ella-langleys-be-her-longest-country-airplay-number-1-1236280756/">four-week run</a> at the summit. Ross’ sole prior Country Airplay entry, “Single Again,” reached No. 2 last summer, in its 68th week.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ross is the second artist this year to secure a first Country Airplay No. 1, among 12 total leaders (a 16.7% success rate); Tucker Wetmore’s “Brunette” led in May. Three acts earned career-first leaders in 2025, of 20 No. 1s overall (15%): Corey Kent (“This Heart”), Hootie & the Blowfish (“Bottle Rockets,” with Scotty McCreery) and Chase Matthew (“Darlin’”). There were nine first-timers in 2024, out of 27 No. 1s (33.3%). Since the start of 2016, 54 artists have notched first No. 1s on the ranking, among 314 total leaders (17.2%).</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/eslabon-armado/">Eslabón Armado</a> returns with <em>Nocturno</em>, the group’s ninth studio album, where its signature regional Mexican sound stays front and center, now joined by vocal turns from guests including Peso Pluma, Gabito Ballesteros, Clave Especial and Calle 24.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Released Friday (June 26) via Interscope, the 16-track set includes songs like “Ojos de Diabla,” “Corta Venas,” “Siempre, Siempre,” “Nunca He Llorado” and “Que No Se Apague.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Most of the lyrics are mine, and the music came from my bandmates Brian and Damián,” singer-songwriter Pedro Tovar tells <em>Billboard Español</em>. “Before, I used to be a little more involved in the studio with them, but this time I gave them full freedom to do whatever they wanted. We really loved how it turned out.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Nocturno</em> moves from requintos to charchetas, through corridos and all the way into urban sounds. Lyrically, while the songs draw from everyday situations and colloquial expressions, the band continues to steer clear of the explicit language that defines much of música tumbada. “That’s what got us to where we are — always singing about love, and of course pain too, for fans going through tough times. But we’ve never disrespected women,” Tovar says. “Never.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tovar wrote and produced “Ella Baila Sola,” his global hit with Peso Pluma, which spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs and six weeks atop the <em>Billboard</em> Global 200, and reached No. 4 on the Hot 100. The group’s 2023 album <em>Desvelado</em>, which included “Baila,” topped both Top Latin Albums and Top Regional Mexican Albums, and hit No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard 200.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At the time, many gave Peso most of the credit for the song’s success, even though it was an Eslabón Armado track. Tovar felt sidelined when the Mexican star’s fame exploded — especially <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/eslabon-armado-pedro-tovar-peso-pluma-disappoint-1235320142/">when Peso performed it solo</a> on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em>. “There were some tense moments, but over time everything cooled off. It wasn’t until a year later that I realized just how massive the song was, when I heard it in so many countries during a trip,” he says. “Peso and I have been messaging for a while, and that’s how the new collab happened.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That new collaboration is “Amigos con Derechos,” a corrido tumbado about a love triangle.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Eslabón Armado is now gearing up for its<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/eslabon-armado-2026-tour-dates-amor-nocturno-tour-1236268282/"> Amor Nocturno Tour,</a> a 28-date U.S. run promoted by Live Nation that kicks off July 24 in Phoenix and wraps Dec. 5 in San Diego. On Aug. 7, the group will play YouTube Theater in L.A., where Peso Pluma is expected to join as a guest.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The band also has 12 shows lined up across Mexico, including a Sept. 6 performance at Mexico City’s Festival Arre. There, they’ll cross paths with collaborators Gabito Ballesteros, Calle 24 and Clave Especial — and plan to share the stage with them at the event.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Below, Tovar breaks down five essential songs from <em>Nocturno</em>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The show starts now,” says lead singer Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist in perfect Spanish to energize the crowd at Peru’s National Stadium. The audience responds with cheers and the chorus of the song “Enough Is Enough.” The scene, captured in their documentary <em>The Hives Live in Latin America</em>, showcases the intensity of the Swedish band’s recent tour through the region, as well as their connection with the language.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I wouldn’t say I know Spanish, but I know enough to say some stuff on stage,” Almqvist tells <em>Billboard Español</em>. He explains that he first learned the language at age 16, taking classes for one year in school, though his real contact with Spanish began two decades ago, mainly during The Hives’ early tours in Latin America.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Actually, the last tour with My Chemical Romance was my first attempt at not speaking English at all between the songs, and it worked out,” he adds, speaking in English. “I even did Portuguese in Brazil, and that worked out, too. People seem to really like me doing it, so I’m going to keep doing it regardless of my skill level.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The connection between the quintet from Fagersta, Sweden, and their Latin American fans is nothing new. The rock band has been visiting countries like Mexico, Brazil and Argentina for over 20 years, first arriving with their 2004 album <em>Tyrannosaurus Hives</em>. Since then, they’ve been slowly incorporating Spanish and Portuguese into their shows, as seen in their documentary, which premiered Thursday (June 25) on their YouTube channel.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>The Hives Live in Latin America</em> follows the band through Peru, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, documenting not only some of their most explosive stadium performances in front of thousands of people but also behind-the-scenes moments and parts of their journey through Latin American cities.</p>

	Beyond the language, local culture is also integrated into their live shows. In Mexico, during their performance at Estadio GNP Seguros as the opening act for My Chemical Romance this past February, the group was introduced by <em>luchadores</em> El Hijo del Santo and Santo Jr., both heirs to the iconic masked wrestler El Santo.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Santo is in the kind of ’90s garage rock that we were really into,” says Almqvist. “There were bands that wrote songs about Santo — a band called Southern Culture On The Skids that had a record maybe, so we were aware of him from garage rock. And we were wrestling fans when we were kids. It’s got the same physical show element, the same physical entertainment value that our shows have.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Part of the experience of touring Latin America has also allowed the members of The Hives to dive into the region’s vast cuisine. Mexican <em>tacos al pastor</em> have been a special discovery for the band’s frontman, he shares in the interview. “I recently started eating meat a little bit after 20, 30 years as a vegetarian. So I’m into the <em>al pastor</em>, which is kind of new to me,” he reveals. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>The Hives Live in Latin America</em> combines live performances with everyday moments of the band in the main capitals of Latin America. “First, more music from Los Hives,” Almqvist shouts in Spanish to the crowd in the opening scene of the film, announcing the emotional journey the viewer will take alongside the band. With more than a quarter of a century of experience, The Hives traveled through Latin America earlier this year, reaffirming a timeless truth night after night: no one leaves unchanged after seeing them live.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We already miss all of our Mexican and South American fans and we hope we can come back sooner rather than later,” Almqvist says. “I don’t really know in what form or shape, but you know we really like it here. Can’t stress that enough.”</p>

	The music session with Towers was released in two different acts. In the first one, Towers’ signature melodic rapping style takes precedence while Bizarrap’s bass-heavy, hip-hop-driven beats deliver the undertone. Through the lyrics, the rapper pays homage to his roots, rapping about his elevated lifestyle while making it clear that Puerto Rico remains on his mind no matter where his career takes him.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the second part of the collaboration comes “Boobytrap,” a long-awaited track that fans have anticipated ever since an early snippet surfaced years ago. In the trap-leaning rap song, Towers shows off his lyrical tenacity, rapping about his lifestyle and how he now has the respect he didn’t get before from others in the industry. The song title “Boobytrap” refers to a famous strip club in Miami, also named Boobytrap, which the artist claims to visit whenever in South Florida.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Who knew Vice President JD Vance had <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/diddy/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/diddy/">Diddy</a> jokes up his sleeve?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Vance visited the Richard Nixon Presidential Library to promote his memoir <em>Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith</em> and was asked about a chapter that just so happens to be named “More Money, More Problems,”one of the late <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-notorious-b-i-g/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-notorious-b-i-g/">Notorious B.I.G.’s</a> most popular songs. That’s when he quipped about the song’s producer, Diddy, being a “great Christian theologian,” before saying he’s “going to get in trouble” for the remark.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m a millennial, and so I believe that’s the wisdom of the great Christian theologian P. Diddy, who as we found out in the last couple of years is very much not a Christian or a theologian,” the vice president joked about the embattled mogul after being asked why more money causes more problems. “I’m going to get in trouble for all kinds of things.

	He has always been notably quiet in person and has seldom had a lot to say from stage.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But big speeches weren’t what people have wanted from <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/alan-jackson/">Alan Jackson</a>. They wanted the songs: “Drive (For Daddy Gene),” “Chattahoochee,” “Don’t Rock the Jukebox,” “Remember When,” “Small Town Southern Man,” “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning).” Those titles spoke volumes about Jackson as a singer-songwriter, and about the fans he served.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jackson caps his concert career Saturday (June 27) at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium with Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale, a show that serves as a milestone in the Country Music Hall of Fame member’s career and a nostalgic reminder of his substantial body of work. But just as importantly, it highlights his influence. More than 35 years after Jackson reached the national spotlight, the ‘90s country that he helped define — marked by strong hooks, proud lower- and middle-class stories and an unapologetic use of fiddle and steel guitar — is hot. “Last Call” will feature appearances by a bundle of younger artists who took the baton, including <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/riley-green/">Riley Green</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/cody-johnson/">Cody Johnson</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lainey-wilson/">Lainey Wilson</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/eric-church/">Eric Church</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/miranda-lambert/">Miranda Lambert</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lee-ann-womack/">Lee Ann Womack</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/luke-combs/">Luke Combs</a>, just to name a few.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	They’re not the only music folks who’ll be on hand. The stadium will also welcome the four executives who headed the labels that oversaw his releases prior to this year: <strong>Tim DuBois</strong>, who signed Jackson to Arista Nashville; <strong>Joe Galante</strong>, who worked with him when a restructuring placed Arista under the RCA Label Group umbrella and, later, under Sony BMG; <strong>Mike Dungan</strong>, who signed him to Capitol Nashville; and <strong>Cindy Mabe</strong>, who succeeded Dungan at Universal Music Group Nashville (now MCA).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	They collectively see Jackson as a key voice for the nation’s heartland.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I call him the Norman Rockwell of country music,” DuBois says. “He just paints a picture that is so relatable to middle-class America.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jackson has amassed 26 No. 1 singles on Billboard’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/country-songs/">Hot Country Songs</a> among 50 top 10 singles, deftly using everyday language and unpretentious musical construction to create a bond with the genre’s listeners. He avoided gimmickry and never overplayed the emotional content in his material. Instead, he delivered his stories with sincerity and respect, using those tales as his primary means of communication. He could acknowledge commitment and economics in the same chorus — as he did when he sang “Livin’ on love, buyin’ on time” — capture intimacy in the lines of “When Somebody Loves You” and laugh at rejection in “She’s Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues),” the latter co-written with fellow traditionalist Randy Travis.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jackson connected with men and women at the heart of their humanity, but he had his surface attractions, too.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I know I sold a ton of music,” DuBois quips, “but I also sold a lot of long legs and long hair.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A native of Newnan, Ga., Jackson communicated regular-Joe status through a love for the water and a passion for automobiles. He married his high-school sweetheart and kept cassette recordings of his songs in brown paper grocery bags, writing about his parents, his wife, his good times, his church and his growing pains. Fans saw him as one of their own — and he was. He still is.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But he wasn’t a pushover when it came to the music business. He needed a record company, but wasn’t about to sacrifice his identity to make it. Particularly as a younger man, he was prone to push back when the business people asked him to try marketing moves that didn’t fit his view of his art.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“He wanted it to be about the music,” remembers Dungan, who first worked with Jackson in the early days of his career. “When you’re the head of marketing, as I was at Arista, there are a million opportunities to fight with a man like that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And they did. Dungan remembers one brutally loud argument at a Nashville restaurant that turned the heads of other patrons. It wasn’t personal. Jackson simply had a public profile and — like most great artists — a sense of what he was willing to do when his name or likeness was attached. He knew what made his business work, and he didn’t compromise when it didn’t make sense.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“He was always on the lookout for anyone and everyone who was going to try to interfere with his creative process,” Dungan recalls.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Galante knew that side of Jackson, too. A year before Arista came under Galante’s leadership, Jackson registered a top 5 single with “Little Man,” a frank lament about the brute force of big businesses gobbling up market share in small communities. It wasn’t just posturing, but his own artistic success placed him in situations where he had to make choices between the music and the business sides of the music business.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When WHTZ<strong> </strong>New York, Z100, heard Jackson’s 9/11 reflection, “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning),” the top 40 station was interested in playing it. As a five-minute country ballad, “Where Were You” was a bit of an outlier for a pop station. The company was willing to accept that, but executive vp <strong>Butch Waugh</strong> funneled one request to Galante: Could Jackson remix it with less steel guitar? Galante called the artist with the proposal.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The silence — it seemed like an eternity, but it was probably three or four seconds,” Galante recalls. “He said to me, ‘I kind of like steel.’ And the next thing I heard was a click. I went into Butch’s office, and he said to me, ‘How did it go?’ I said, ‘Well, as I expected, he’s not going to change the record. And I don’t think he should.’”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s not like Jackson was acting out of selfishness. Though his songwriting was a hallmark of his career, he recorded a fair number of outside songs, including 18 of his top 10 singles, such as “Little Bitty,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Gone Country” and “Right on the Money.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There was a practicality about it — invariably, the songs represented his love of classic country or expressed his viewpoint in a way that he didn’t think he could. The songs he selected and the compromises he refused to make were all a part of a genre that was central to his identity.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“He never lost his roots, and I think he always thought about that,” Galante says. “I mean, he was a shade-tree mechanic, coming from a small town, and still remembered what the struggle was like. I think that resonated in everything he picked, or wrote, and we worked.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When Jackson left Arista, he called Dungan, who had moved on to Capitol, and suggested working together again. He acknowledged that they had had their share of arguments, but said he always knew that Dungan was giving him an honest assessment. He apologized for the long-ago restaurant squabble, and he laughed it off when Dungan said he wanted to get Jackson back on the radio. Jackson believed programmers had moved on.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I was very shocked, because if you ever work with artists, you know none of them ever say that,” Dungan notes. “It’s the other side of the coin. It’s like they will not accept that radio won’t play them anymore. Here was a guy, who was very difficult in his early career, being the most grown-up adult in the room.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The fact is that Jackson had a handle on what worked for him.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Looking back,” says DuBois, acknowledging his own battles with Jackson, “he was right more times than I was.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jackson’s final concert is timely in a way he could not have predicted when he booked it more than a year ago. Back in 1989, Jackson — despite his longing for a recording contract — insisted on meeting DuBois’ boss, <strong>Clive Davis</strong>, before he became the first artist signed to Arista’s unproven Nashville division. Davis died on June 22, just five days prior to Jackson’s stadium show. Similarly, Larry Shell, who co-wrote “Murder on Music Row” — the award-winning 1999 release that excoriated the country industry for turning its back on tradition — died June 17. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/george-strait/">George Strait</a>, who recorded “Murder” with Jackson, will participate in the concert.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jackson’s legacy “matters so much, because the past, present and future of country music all connect together,” says Mabe, whose Joan of Arc Music is set to develop an NBC special out of the concert. “He’s an extension of Hank Williams, and what he’ll do for that next generation is they’re going to pick up the extension of Alan Jackson and move it forward. That’s why this concert and everything that comes in this moment is going to be so pivotal. It’s a cultural moment. It’s not just a last concert.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mabe’s production, of course, will need to demonstrate that through the music and through the other voices that might appear in it. Jackson, as someone who isn’t prone to talk much publicly, is certainly not one to boast. It’s not necessary.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The most talkative people in a room “tell you everything that they possibly know about anything,” Mabe observes. “The one with all the information is the quiet guy in the corner. That’s Alan Jackson. I’ll be honest, he knows a lot of stuff.”</p>

	Matt Damon is stepping into the studio and behind the mic for… a rap track?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That’s the premise for a new clip for Water.org, helping to promote the charity’s new “Get Blue” initiative. In a clip posted to Instagram earlier this month, Damon debuts his rap alter ego, “The Nomad,” to riff on the “constant struggle” to get water into the homes of those who need it most. The actor-turned-aspiring musician seeks advice from Hit-Boy, the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/beyonce-texas-hold-em-producer-hitboy-interview-1235624846/">Grammy-winning producer</a>, who questions whether rapping is really the right move for Damon’s altruistic intentions.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Isn’t ‘Nomad’ just ‘Damon’ spelled backwards?” Hit-Boy asks, to the chagrin of the embarrassed actor.</p>

	In person, Damon is anything but embarrassed to promote the Get Blue campaign, no matter what it takes.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We’re always looking for ways to cut through all the noise, and sometimes, humor is a shortcut to get people’s attention,” he tells <em>Billboard</em>. “We’ll try anything, you know?”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Damon hasn’t had to rap in his career to date, though he notes that, “I sang in<em> The Talented Mr. Ripley</em> a long time ago and uh, I sung in <em>Eurotrip</em>.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And while his kids are musically-inclined — “Taylor [Swift] is a huge influence in our house,” he says. “We know that catalog pretty well” — don’t expect to see Damon debuting any official musical endeavors anytime soon. “Obviously, Kendrick has nothing to worry about. I’m not gonna become a rapper,” Damon says. “I don’t think that would go well.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For now, Damon’s rap attempt will just live on social media, with the actor also using his studio time in the clip to tell Hit-Boy about the millions of people around the world who still lack access to clean water. With the Get Blue campaign, Water.org is partnering with brands like Gap, Starbucks and Amazon, to launch products that give back. For every purchase of a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://gap.igs4ds.net/oN51RY" target="_blank">Get Blue product on the Gap site</a>, on Amazon’s <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=%22get+blue%22&crid=3ODV1Q0GRBLZT&sprefix=get+blue+products%2Caps%2C401&linkCode=ll2&tag=billboard0ad-20&linkId=88d49ccbfaaf262489ff9865d009476c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&asc_source=feed&asc_campaign=feed&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fmatt-damon-get-blue-rap-song-water-org-campaign-products-1236270436%2F" target="_blank">Get Blue storefront</a> (official page coming in July), or a purchase of two specialty drinks on Starbucks (the Iced Blue Coconut Matcha and the Blue Coconut Refresher), the brands will make a donation to Water.org.</p>

	While much movement has been made to increase access to water and improve safe drinking conditions around the world, Damon notes that more than two billion people still lack access to safe water — that’s one in four people globally.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s so hard for us to relate to growing up here,” Damon says. “You’re only a few steps away from a clean drink of water, whereas if you think about AIDS or cancer or things like that, usually there’s an emotional connection for somebody. You’re never very many degrees removed from somebody who’s struggling with that, whether it’s a family member or a friend.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Get Blue campaign continues the work that Gary White has been doing for decades, as the CEO and co-founder of Water.org. The charity works with local partners on the ground to offer small, affordable loans so families can get the pipes, pumps, or plumbing they need to serve safe drinking water at home. Education is also an important of their advocacy, with White noting that many young children in developing countries can’t attend school, because they are in charge of water collection for their families.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“So many people around the world, when they wake up tonight, they don’t know where they’re going to get their water, and they have to spend time and sometimes money just to get it,” White tells <em>Billboard</em>. “And with Water.org, we’ve pioneered some really innovative ways to kind of close that gap,” he says, noting the organization’s work in everything from building wells to facilitating clean sanitation.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“But what we also realize is we need to bring in a wider audience,” White adds. “It’s critically important that we have these partners who have a platform, who have a voice, who know how to connect through cool shirts or music, because that’s where people live.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	White’s goal for the campaign and for his organization: “We’ve reached over 90 million people with our water programs and I think in the next four years, we can reach another 100 million.”</p>

	“When I was growing up, on our refrigerator, my mother had this quote from Gandhi, and it said, ‘No matter how insignificant what you do may seem, it is most important that you do it,'” he says. “And I’ve always thought about that. I think the problems of the world can feel overwhelming,” he continues, “but if everybody does their part, what you’re doing is not insignificant, because you’re going to save somebody’s life. You’re going to completely change the outcome of their life. And there’s nothing insignificant about that.”</p>

<p>My guest today is the bestselling author <a href="http://www.emmastraub.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emma Straub.</a> Her books include <a href="http://www.emmastraub.net/this-time-tomorrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>This Time Tomorrow</em></a>, <a href="http://www.emmastraub.net/modern-lovers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Modern Lovers</em></a>, <a href="http://www.emmastraub.net/thevacationers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Vacationers</em></a>, and more. And with her husband, Michael Fusco, she co-owns the beautiful Brooklyn bookstore <a href="https://www.booksaremagic.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Books Are Magic.</a></p>
<p>I’m so thrilled to have her on because, not only is she a wonderful writer, but Key Change is a series about music fandom and identity. And Emma’s newest novel <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/786144/american-fantasy-by-emma-straub/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">American Fantasy</a> is also about music fandom and identity. That story is set on a cruise ship centered around a nineties boy band and their fans.</p>
<p>But today, Emma’s going to tell me her story about her own relationship with the music of <a href="https://www.houseoftomorrow.com/magneticfields" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Magnetic Fields</a>. <a href="http://www.houseoftomorrow.com/stephin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stephin Merritt</a> from the Magnetic Fields was just named one of the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/magazine/greatest-american-songwriters-alive.html" target="_blank">greatest living American songwriters</a> by the New York Times, and Emma’s introduction to their music was their 1999 triple album, <a href="https://album.link/s/0K5FvRzJl6iTKikI9tMdAB" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>69 Love Songs</em>.</a></p>

So I was very excited to talk to Alexis and Joe from Hot Chip about how “Boy from School” was made.</p>

	The Mexican-American singer came in confident in the most recent episode of the wing-sauce franchise, sharing a story with Evans of the spiciest food experience she has ever had.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I remember being about 7 years old, and I was triple-dog-dared by a family member to bite a chili and rub it around my lips for 30 seconds,” she said. “My lips got so big, and I definitely had a reaction of sorts — but I got my 10 dollars.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	From Garlic Delight to The Last Dab: Thermageddon, Becky got candid with Evans as he asked her a round of questions about her childhood, her favorite <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/selena/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/selena/">Selena Quintanilla</a> song, and shifting from an early career in English to becoming a Spanish-language pop star.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The amount of research that you do for these is crazy,” she exclaimed when Evans asked if she still frequented Kelso Ranch Market, a supermarket in Los Angeles, to eat a <em>paleta de sandía</em> (watermelon popsicle) after school. “I remember shooting the ‘Becky From the Block’ video there and thinking I was hot sh–,” she recalled of the video, which included a Jennifer Lopez cameo.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Becky From the Block” played a key role in introducing Becky to a wider audience with millions of YouTube views and establishing her as an emerging bilingual artist in 2013. Eventually, she released “Shower,” her breakout global hit on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a>, peaking at No. 16 in 2014.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Though she was seemingly surprised by how hot some of the sauces actually are, she managed to get to the end of the challenge, with a few candid reactions along the way. “You can’t even enjoy that,” she said to Evans after biting into the 10th wing. She also suggested a taco spin-off to the host instead of just sticking to wings.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Becky’s <em>Hot Ones</em> visit aired just three days after another Latin superstar passed the spicy wings challenge: Colombian J Balvin, who also claimed victory in the <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX7h7jBW1Fg">June 1st episode</a>.</p>

	“I will say this,” the Harlem rapper began. “Outta everything I’ve heard — from my experiences and seeing him engaged throughout the years — he spared them a little bit. He didn’t even hit them with too much. … He still managed to obliterate a lot of people. But let’s see what happens. A callout is a callout. You say somebody’s name, it goes on forever, no matter who starts it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He then added that he expects a freestyle when he kicks off his three-show run in the Bronx next month. “I wanna see the Yankee Stadium freestyle,” he said. “I think that’s when he’s gonna turn up. The Roots Picnic was cool, but I do believe the Yankee Stadium freestyle will be something like the Martin Luther King ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Five years ago, the idea of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-rodrigo/">Olivia Rodrigo</a> and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sabrina-carpenter/">Sabrina Carpenter</a> linking up in the studio would’ve been outrageous — but you never know what the future holds.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In her new <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/70335/1/olivia-rodrigo-dazed-summer-2026-action-issue-album-interview">Dazed</a> </em>cover story interview, Rodrigo was asked about whether she’d ever work on a song with her fellow Gen-Z pop star, and she didn’t shoot it down. “Oh, gosh,” she said with a laugh. “I mean, I’m open … I’m open to all types of collaboration.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The <em>High School Musical: The Musical: The Series </em>alum also named the artists she personally dreams of teaming up with. “I’ve been listening to a lot of PJ Harvey lately. And Fiona Apple,” she told the publication. “I think those two were just doing something so special and raw and unfiltered. I would love to meet and hang with them.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s not the first time someone has asked Rodrigo about Carpenter recently. Half a decade ago, the two ladies were thrown together in the center of public discourse after Rodrigo released 2021 debut single “Drivers License,” which describes how an ex broke up with her to be with “that blonde girl,” whom fans determined to be Carpenter. In response, the <em>Girl Meets World </em>star dropped tracks such as “Skin” and “Because I Liked a Boy.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But now, Rodrigo says of Carpenter, “I think she’s great,” as told to <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/olivia-rodrigo-british-vogue-interview">British Vogue</a> </em>in March. “I’m so happy for all of her success too. I love the album she’s put out … people just get weird and clickbaity. It’s all love, though. I’ve talked to her many times.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As for whether she’d work with Lorde — someone whom Rodrigo has cited many times as a musical hero — she told <em>Dazed</em>, “Oh yeah, she’s amazing. <em>Pure Heroine</em> definitely informed the way I think about songwriting. I love the new record she put out.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	Brunson was asked during <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/3fotGXowjTA">his media availability</a> on Thursday (June 4) if there was any artist he’d pay that astronomical amount of cash to see perform in concert. For JB, there’s one artist: none other than the King of Pop. “That’s a good question. A live Michael Jackson performance,” Brunson told<em> The Associated Press</em>.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Obviously, that wouldn’t be possible for Brunson, as Michael Jackson died in June 2009. MJ has been back in the news in a major way in recent months, as the King of Pop’s<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/michael-jackson-top-movie-songs-chart-michael-premiere-1236260597/"> <em>Michael</em> biopic</a> has been a smash hit at the box office since being released on April 24.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to <em>The Numbers </em>via <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://screenrant.com/michael-2026-box-office-top-100-global-movies-chart/">ScreenRant</a></em>, the blockbuster has grossed a staggering $856.5 million globally as of June 2. Jackson is played by his nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who stars in the role as the legendary musician. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Brunson led the Knicks with 30 points to steal Game 1 105-95 against the Spurs on the road. Plenty of NYC celebrities made the trip to support the blue and orange, including <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/fat-joe-cavaliers-denied-his-courtside-seats-knicks-game-4-1236256779/">Fat Joe,</a> Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As the boundary-smashing, beyond over-the-top talent behind Adult Swim’s long-running <em>The Eric Andre Show</em>, comedian and actor <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/eric-andre/">Eric André</a> has presided over some of the more bizarre, surreal pranks, stunts and hilariously cringe moments to ever be aired on television.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But André’s latest project might just manage to stun his audience even further. Under the not-so-serious name of BLARF, André has just released a surprisingly serious album of classical music, <em><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.stonesthrow.com/store/film-scores-for-films-that-dont-exist/" target="_blank">Film Scores for Films That Don’t Exist</a> </em>(out now on Stones Throw Records).<em> </em>A collaboration with composer Prateek Rajagopal, the album features eight pieces for full orchestra, ranging from the silly (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/3xTW-UM6ptM?si=8Ge6UY7di-aDYCcH" target="_blank">“1869 Overture,”</a> essentially a very out-of-tune take on Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture”) to the quite beautiful (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/t54CcS3Kmyw?si=vW-KO_6FCnsBBG8j" target="_blank">“Stars Without Light”</a>), which riff on both film score archetypes and the composers who write them.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	André is, in fact, no goofy novice: Before he pivoted to comedy, he was a serious upright bass player who attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music (where he also studied conducting — a skill he recently put to use in front of an orchestra at the only concert of this music thus far, at Los Angeles’ Zipper Hall in late April). </p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This is like a big wish fulfillment thing for me,” André says of making <em>Film Scores</em>. “I’m just happy that it came together, and I have so much gratitude towards Prateek for pushing it along all the way.” He spoke to Billboard about his conservatory past, conducting an orchestra in Hungary, and what’s next for BLARF.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You told <em>Pitchfork</em> of your first BLARF album, 2019’s <em>Cease and Desist</em>, “I dare you to get through six minutes of it, it’s f—in’ unlistenable.” I wouldn’t say the same of this one!</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I think I always wanted to make a completely different album each time. I’ve only made two [BLARF] albums, so you won’t notice that that agenda until, like, I have three, four or five albums. Comedy is a full-time job, so this is just passion project stuff and I don’t have time to crank out that much, but I always wanted to. I started doing comedy when I was 20 years old, like halfway through college, and then I just pivoted to it, but I always wanted to continue to make music, not for any kind of commercial success attempt, more just for my own creative gratification. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How do you know when it’s time to do a new BLARF project?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m constantly doing it in the background between gigs — they just take a while to complete, and then I release them upon completion. I’m still making new music now; I’m trying to make new hip-hop loops on Ableton, I’m trying to get into Detroit house and ghetto tech and some more jazz stuff. Prateek, who I made the album with, just scored a Bollywood movie, and I was like, “Whoa!” I was frustrated we didn’t put any Bollywood stuff or Indian instrumentation on the album, and we didn’t put any really jazz stuff on the album. So I’ve already been thinking about jazz composition, and then going back more to electronic stuff, because it’s just way easier to produce than dealing with orchestras. [<em>Laughs</em>]</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How did you and Prateek first link up?</strong> </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So, originally Ludwig Göransson was gonna do the score for [André’s 2021 Netflix film] <em>Bad Trip</em>. Ludwig got very busy because he’s like, on his third Oscar, and his [creative] partner at the time, Joseph Shirley, kind of took over on <em>Bad Trip</em>; then Joseph worked on the <em>Trolls </em>movie, and I worked on the <em>Trolls</em> movie, and he’s a very lovely, very talented guy. And I love film scores; I love Ennio Morricone, film music is very emotional, it’s like a neglected part of the record section. [I told him how] I always get these ideas for compositions, and asked, could he help me? And he’s also incredibly successful and busy and has kids, so he’s like, “I would love to, but I can’t even keep up with the actual work that I need to get done, but I have this like protege Prateek who’s like a musical wizard.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Prateek was just very young and hungry and incredibly talented and just knows every genre of music so well — there’s no task insurmountable for him, he thrives under pressure and stress and loves a challenge, so he was very invested early on, and very enthusiastic. I wouldn’t have finished the project if it wasn’t for Prateek.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What was your collaboration like?</strong> </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I started out with voice notes and ideas for compositions, and then I’d go to Prateek’s office and studio, and he would put out like a mini demo version of what I would kind of sing to him through these voice memos, and the suggested orchestration, and then we’d sit in his studio and just figure out where the song wants to go, where it wants to be. Sometimes we were stumped: “What’s For Dinner” ends on this death metal stuff just because we couldn’t figure out an ending to it. So, as a joke, we were like, “I don’t know, let’s do a death metal ending!” And then I found out in real time that Prateek was into metal and in an Indian death metal band. His band is amazing, I had no idea. That kind of metal is very technical. Jazz, classical and metal people are gluttons for punishment.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He wasn’t just a co-composer who helped me flesh out these wisps of ideas that I had, but he was also kind of like a showrunner, a producer, making sure, like, we found an orchestra in Budapest, Hungary.  He was constantly pushing everybody to do this the right way, not necessarily the cheap way. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Were you stepping up and conducting the orchestra in Hungary?</strong> </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Most of the orchestra, while we were recording, was conducted by their conductor, but I stepped in a little bit, and then when we did the live show [in Los Angeles], I conducted.  Conducting is not as hard as playing upright bass — that was more nerve-wracking for me. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What was that whole dynamic like? What did the orchestra players make of you?</strong> </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I think it was a combination of intrigue and confusion from the top to bottom of the process. But I love conducting. I love <em>Fantasia,</em> Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny were my first, like, conductor idols. I took conducting class in school, and I loved my teacher, Francisco Noya — he was very like, spiritual about his conducting, he was just a total character, a very memorable professor. He’d be very intense when he taught class, but he was actually very soft and sweet.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I love having an orchestra at [my] disposal. I was very high on it. It was like those astronauts that go out into space and they’re in such a trance, like, “When am I ever going to get to do this again?” and they’re just like taking in the glory of the universe. It was a total dream come true.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Did you think of all these pieces as being one big score for a film or more individual things?</strong> </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No, I thought they each go with their own movie. The first one [<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/uu2GcSkv6Ts?si=PBq-YehfDnXnG-ul" target="_blank">“The Final Shootout”</a>] is like a spaghetti Western. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/Ake-s3LW6L4?si=D7xU0bvIUNkoibu-" target="_blank">“Mercury Dripping Down My Spine”</a> goes over like, an Ari Aster or Panos Cosmatos [horror] movie. The other challenge was like, how do I find comedic value in instrumental music — like without words, how do you achieve a comedic effect?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Some of the pieces do feel outright funny, but the majority start out sounding like they’ll go in one direction and by the end definitely become something more unexpected — for instance on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/LoBgTapn4Qc?si=edHxHcvUBXqhuxTl" target="_blank">“Piano Concerto No. 0,”</a> it sounds like you’re literally murdering the piano at the end. </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’d get so frustrated practicing piano when I was little that I would throw my piano books on the ground if I would get to like, a Mozart passage that would stump me. When I got older, one of my professors, Whip Browne, would always say, “Practice slow, learn fast; practice fast, learn slow,” and that’s the greatest piece of advice for any temporal art… I have to remind myself of that every day. [But] I used to have these dark fantasies about destroying my instruments all the time, and once you’re playing stringed instruments, the better you get the more expensive they get. So it felt so carthartic just like, taking an axe to a piano and setting it on a fire. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Wait — so you are literally destroying a piano? </strong> </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yeah, I really destroyed a piano, a cheap upright we found through like a free curb alert on Craigslist. I love John Cage and how he would tamper with the piano strings, so I wanted to hear how it would sound taking an ax to the strings. There was one time on <em>The Eric Andre Show</em> that I think I stomped on a few cellos, and I remember the art department was like, “Did you feel<em> good</em> doing that? These are works of art!” I was like, I feel great doing it! We got like, cheap Sam Ash cellos. I wasn’t like, stomping on a Stradivarius.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>I saw the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DC0EmhUExsg" target="_blank">video</a> of you walking around asking people to listen to the music and say what kind of film they think it’s for. What’s the strangest story anyone’s told you? </strong>  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I don’t even think most people get that far. People are like, <em>you </em>compose classical music?! At the front door, they’re like, <em>what?!</em> So I have to go into basically everything I’ve been saying to you for the past 45 minutes. They can’t even get past level one [<em>laughs</em>]. You saw the best answers! Closest friends are like, you play music? You compose music? I’m talking not even comedians or people in the public eye, just like drinking buddies who are like, you didn’t bring that up? I dunno, you didn’t ask!  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>So we’ve established that there’s a lot of film footage that you need to get on, but other than that, what is next for this iteration of BLARF? Do you want to do more concerts?</strong> </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yeah, I’d love to do more concerts. We’re going to edit together the concert that we did do and hopefully we can sell it to a streaming service or put it on YouTube. When that comes out, I actually think that the album will almost be supplemental to the special. My Netflix special is a stand-up comedy special, my HBO special is an <em>Eric Andre Show </em>live special, and then this special, whatever platform it’s on, it’s going to be like an orchestral music special, so I like having that evolution of changing the medium for each of my specials. So that’s kind of next up on my musical agenda.  <br>  <br> </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Independent music company Concord announced on Thursday (June 4) a strategic partnership with Lito Music, the company founded by Latin rap pioneer <strong>Lito MC Cassidy</strong>. “The alliance marks a key step in Concord’s continued expansion within the global Latin music market and reflects its commitment to investing at the highest level in the future of reggaetón,” according to a press release.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Half of the Puerto Rican hip-hop duo Lito & Polaco, Lito MC Cassidy is a foundational figure in the rise and development of the Latin urban movement, helping define the sound and cultural framework of reggaetón in the early 1990s, influencing generations of artists and contributing to projects recognized at the highest levels of the industry.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The strategic partnership will combine Lito’s vision and expertise with Concord’s global infrastructure, teams and capabilities, the release said. The focus will be on building a culturally driven, globally competitive record label that prioritizes world-class execution, strategic artist development and long-term catalog value creation.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This partnership reflects where I am today,” Lito MC Cassidy said in a statement. “It’s about using my experience as an artist to develop new talent the right way, while continuing to work with established artists to turn them into global stars and take their careers even further into the mainstream market.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This initiative is a clear example of how Concord drives growth: by partnering with proven cultural leaders and providing them with the support, resources and global infrastructure needed to build lasting ventures,” said Concord Label Group chief executive <strong>Tom Becci</strong>. “Lito brings credibility, creative instinct and a deep connection to the culture. Together, we are building a label designed to develop the next generation of talent, support high-impact releases and significantly strengthen Concord’s presence in Latin music.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The first signings and releases will be announced soon.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The hospitalization comes just days after Davis attended the Gordon Parks Foundation Awards Dinner and Auction in New York City, <em><a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/05/30/celebrity-news/clive-davis-94-hospitalized-in-nyc/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Page Six</a></em> reports.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/clive-davis-interview-pre-grammy-gala-whitney-houston-1236168517/">iconic label boss</a>, who helped shape the careers of artists including Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys, has faced health challenges in the past. In February 2021, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/clive-davis-second-pre-grammy-virtual-party-postponed-9530253/">Davis postponed</a> his annual pre-Grammy gala after being diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, a temporary condition that causes weakness or paralysis in facial muscles.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“He’s being treated with antibiotics and steroids and will make a full recovery within six to eight weeks, at which point he plans to host the second installment of the virtual pre-Grammy gala,” Davis’ rep said at the time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Davis’ star-studded pre-Grammy gala has been held on the eve of the Grammy Awards each year since 1976.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A four-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Davis is widely regarded as one of the most influential executives in modern music history. After entering the music business in the 1960s, he became president of Columbia Records in 1967 at age 35. Over a career spanning more than six decades, he held executive roles at CBS Records, founded Arista Records and J Records, later led RCA Music Group, and most recently held the title of chief creative officer at Sony Music Entertainment.<br></p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In recent years, the National Independent Venue Association’s advocacy efforts have been focused on the Department of Justice’s monopoly case against Live Nation, which resulted in a jury finding that the company illegally monopolized the market for ticketing services and the use of amphitheaters. In April, it also found that Live Nation illegally tied the use of its venues to its concert promotion services.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Now, as the association heads into its <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.nivassoc.org/conference" data-type="link" href="https://www.nivassoc.org/conference" target="_blank">fifth annual conference</a>, NIVA executive director <strong>Stephen Parker</strong> says the association is turning its attention to ticketing resale caps and building a more stable future for independent venues and promoters.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This conference is more about our vision for what live entertainment looks like in a post-monopoly world. My hope is that our NIVA members are able to articulate what that vision should be,” Parker tells <em>Billboard</em> of the NIVA ‘26 gathering that will take place June 7-10 at various independent venues in Minneapolis. “We have been working towards a future that’s better, not just working to make sure that one company is help accountable.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The four-day conference will kick off with a Sunday night opening party in celebration of Prince, who was a frequent performer and visitor of <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/pro/indie-music-venue-profile-prince-first-avenue-minneapolis/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/indie-music-venue-profile-prince-first-avenue-minneapolis/">renowned indie venue First Avenue</a>, where the opening party will take place. From there, NIVA will address the attendees on the current “state of live,” followed by panels on everything from marketing, ticketing platforms, food and beverage strategies, dealing with the growing number of performing rights organizations and the resale cap legislation that is being introduced across the country.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As of June 2026, 20 states across the U.S. have introduced legislation that would cap the price of concert tickets on secondary ticketing platforms like StubHub, SeatGeek and more. The wave of bills comes as fans are feeling gauged by sky-high ticket prices, while the price of a night out also continues rising.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“There’s not a single state that introduced a resale price cap this year that we went to and said, ‘Please introduce this legislation.’ In some cases, we just saw it drop,” says Parker. “The fact is, this has been such an organic movement, a bipartisan organic movement, to see a problem and see a solution and work towards that solution.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Maine and Vermont are the only two states that have signed resale cap legislation into law, while states including New York and California have similar laws up for consideration. “We’re going to talk about all the dollars that have been spent to defeat this legislation and how we have spent very little getting a couple of these passed in the last year,” Parker says. “We’re gonna talk about how this is basically artists, fans and everybody who actually is in the live entertainment industry against scalpers.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The conference will take place across what Parker calls an “incredible indie venue scene” in Minneapolis including First Ave and 7th Street Entry, storied Jazz club The Dakota, new space Green Room and the musician hangout Ice House. Despite the turmoil Minneapolis faced earlier this year with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and the killing of civilians Renée Good and Alex Pretti, Parker says Minneapolis NIVA members wanted the conference to take place in the city.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We heard from the community early on, the one thing that the venues and the community leaders wanted more than anything was for people not to abandon them,” Parker says. Minneapolis mayor <strong>Jacob Frey </strong>will welcome attendees to the conference on June 8 at the Pantages Theater.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Other notable speakers at NIVA ‘26 include CAA agent <strong>Carly James</strong>, <em>The Daily Show</em> comedian Jordan Klepper, as well as musicians Jimmy Jam, Cornbread Harris, Cory Wong of Vulfpeck and The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The main focus, Parker says, will be detailing plans for a more sustainable independent live sector. The conference will discuss what the association and its members are doing to support the cultural infrastructure across the country by lobbying for tax credit programs or live performance funds that can help independent venues and creating more music offices at the city and state levels.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“What can we do to make sure that live performance isn’t just something that politicians and policy makers go to, but something that politicians and policy makers create a seat at the table for at the state and local level, and at the federal level across the country,” Parker says. “Let’s get past the monopoly. Let’s get past the predatory resale and let’s focus on the things that matter which is building the infrastructure that we need for independent venues and festivals and artists and fans to actually be able to connect without all these other things getting in the way.”</p>

	<a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/yung-miami/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/yung-miami/">Yung Miami</a> recently sat down with former NFL star Cam Newton for his YouTube show <em>Funky Fridays</em> and told a funny story of the time she tried to get <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/drake/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/drake/">Drake</a> on a song while he was in the middle of his <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-timeline/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-timeline/">beef</a> with <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kendrick-lamar/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kendrick-lamar/">Kendrick Lamar</a> and <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/metro-boomin/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/metro-boomin/">Metro Boomin </a>back in 2024.</p>

	“I got a song called ‘Take Me to Chanel’ and I was trying to get him on the song,” she recalled. “I remember DM’ing him, but that was at the time when he was going through all his sh–. And when people going through they sh–, like, I get it, I understand. … But I DM’d him like, ‘Drake, I think you’ll sound good on ‘Take Me to Chanel.’ He just liked the message like come on, now, don’t do that! Drake, don’t do that now ’cause when you called me I was there! But, nah, I f— with Drake, I understand.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She then added that she’s hyped for <em>ICEMAN</em> and Drake’s return to rap’s forefront. “I’m excited. I love Drake, she began before explaining why. “He’s so special that it’s like his music is like, ‘You gotta know to know.’ He’ll say some sh– and it’s like what made him … he’s clever. And I just love how he does his interludes. He’ll go and get a soundbite and blow it up, and he’s gonna show you love. It just be little things like that. And he just always got one. You can play Drake at a graduation, any function and you’re gonna feel good.”</p>

This gotta be a joke and it was like, ‘Nah, y’all gotta come to the studio, we gotta play the record.’ And we press play and it’s like Drake saying our names.”</p>

	The members of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/newjeans/">NewJeans </a>and their label partners have been sued in the U.S. over purported similarities between their hit 2024 track “How Sweet” and an outside demo submitted during the songwriting process.  </p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Thursday (May 7) lawsuit, obtained and first reported by <em>Billboard</em>, lodges copyright infringement claims against NewJeans’ label ADOR, its parent company HYBE and performers Minji, Hanni, Haerin, Hyein and Danielle. The five women were part of NewJeans beginning in 2022, though Danielle recently departed amid a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/newjeans-njz-court-ador-contract-injunction-appeals/">contract dispute</a> between the powerhouse K-pop girl group and ADOR.</p>

	NewJeans <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/newjeans-how-sweet-bubble-gum-stream-it-now-1235692150/">released “How Sweet”</a> in May 2024 on an EP of the same name. The song went on to peak at No. 15 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 7 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. Four songwriters are now alleging that the track copied key elements from their demo “One of a Kind.”</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to the lawsuit, songwriter Audrey Armacost was sent an instrumental track by her publisher in January 2024 and invited to submit topline lyrics and melody for consideration by NewJeans. Armacost convened with three other writers — <strong>Aidan Rodriguez</strong>, <strong>Adam Gokcebay</strong> and <strong>Michael Campanelli</strong> — and together, they say they wrote and recorded “One of a Kind” over that instrumental.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The four writers say they sent “One of a Kind” along to NewJeans, but were told it was not selected. Yet when “How Sweet” was released four months later, the lawsuit claims the song’s first verse was “quantitatively and qualitatively similar” to the first verse in “One of a Kind.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Both works are in 4/4 meter and the key of B flat minor,” reads the legal complaint. “And both works contain a topline that includes an approximately eight-bar, 31-note melodic sequence consisting of four series.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Armacost, Rodriguez, Gokcebay and Campanelli allege HYBE, ADOR, the NewJeans members, and a host of other collaborators and distributors violated their rights by failing to license the “One of a Kind” demo. Through the lawsuit, the four songwriters are seeking a cut of the royalties from the “great commercial success” of “How Sweet.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Plaintiffs, as joint authors and co-owners of the composition of ‘How Sweet,’ are entitled to their pro rata share of the profits that defendants have each gained from the exploitation of ‘How Sweet,’” the complaint reads. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A lawyer for the four writers, <strong>Trevor Barrett</strong>, said in a Friday (May 8) statement to <em>Billboard</em>, “Adam, Aidan, Audrey and Michael are accomplished songwriters who were deeply disappointed to discover this blatant copying of their original song, ‘One of a Kind,’ in New Jeans’ ‘How Sweet.’ They look forward to having their rights acknowledged and vindicated via this lawsuit.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reps from HYBE did not immediately return a request for comment on the claims.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The new lawsuit comes in the midst of an ongoing reconciliation between some members of NewJeans and ADOR following a protracted legal battle of their own.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 2024, all five original NewJeans members <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/newjeans-leaving-ador-hybe-amid-dispute-1235841233/">attempted to sever ties</a> with the HYBE subsidiary and go independent under the new moniker NJZ following the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/hybe-min-hee-jin-court-new-jeans-ador-controversy/">controversial firing</a> of their mentor, former ADOR CEO <strong>Min Hee-jin</strong>. This led to a lawsuit, and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/newjeans-loses-ador-lawsuit-stay-hybe/">ADOR ultimately prevailed</a> when a a South Korean court ruled in October that the women must remain under an exclusive contract until 2029.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the wake of that ruling, Hanni, Haerin and Hyein all <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/newjeans-members-returning-ador-court-case-loss-1236111103/">decided to return</a> to ADOR and resume working with the label. Danielle will not be part of NewJeans’ future; ADOR announced in December that they label had <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/newjeans-member-danielle-dropped-ador-lawsuit-fallout-1236146797/">dropped her from the group</a> and alleged that a member of her family bears “significant responsibility for causing this dispute.” Minji is still negotiating a possible return, and <em><a href="https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10732947" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Korea Herald</a> </em>reported this week that discussions are moving in a “positive direction.”</p>

	While Queensberry Promotions has yet to announce each boxer’s walkout music for the main event, they usually approach the ring to the same songs during their matches. Wardley typically walks out to “Can’t Be Touched” by Roy Jones Jr., while Dubois prefers to walk out to “I Don’t Want to Be a General” by Dennis Brown. It’s likely that these songs will make an appearance during the event.</p>

	The <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/red-hot-chili-peppers/">Red Hot Chili Peppers</a> has sold its recorded music catalog to Warner Music Group (WMG) for more than $300 million, a source confirms with <em>Billboard</em>. The company purchased the catalog via its $1.2 billion joint venture with Bain Capital, which is aimed at acquiring both recorded music and publishing rights.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Billboard</em> was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/red-hot-chili-peppers-shopping-music-catalog/">first to report</a> that the Chili Peppers was shopping its recorded catalog in February 2025, with sources saying the band was seeking up to $350 million. At the time, some sources told <em>Billboard</em> a deal had already been reached, and that WMG was the most likely buyer, but money hadn’t yet changed hands. </p>

	Sources previously told <em>Billboard</em> the band owns its 13 studio albums and other releases issued by WMG in the U.S., but <em>Billboard </em>couldn’t determine if it owned its first four studio albums (also part of the sale) released by EMI in the U.S. It’s also unclear if the deal includes name, image and likeness rights for the band. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-industry-news/wmg-acquired-red-hot-chili-peppers-catalog-for-350-million-1236589567/" target="_blank">The Hollywood Reporter</a></em> first reported news of the sale finally being executed on Friday (May 8), after WMG announced it had <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/warner-music-q1-earnings-revenue-up-bruno-mars-sombr/">acquired $650 million</a> in recorded music and publishing catalogs via the Bain joint venture so far.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to <em>Billboard</em> estimates published last year, the Red Hot Chili Peppers master recording catalog generates about $26 million in revenue annually, with the majority of that coming from WMG’s part of the catalog, including such smash albums as <em>Blood Sugar Sex Magik</em> and <em>Californication</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	News of the sale to WMG comes five years after the band <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/red-hot-chili-peppers-selling-song-catalog-hipgnosis/">sold its music publishing catalog</a> to Hipgnosis for between $140 million and $150 million. The publishing assets and recorded music catalog were both shopped by law firm Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobster Younger & Light, according to sources.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	WMG declined to comment. Eric Greenspan, the lawyer who had been shopping the Red Hot Chili Peppers deal, didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.</p>

	<a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/joe-budden/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/joe-budden/">Budden</a> then peppered him with a series of questions where he asked if he ever purchased bots, if he knows where to purchase bots, and if he’s aware of people in the industry using bots to their advantage, with Punch answering “no” to every question except the last one, to which he added that juicing numbers has been an industry practice since the days of Myspace. “But our whole thing was like, if we do that, how are we going to know who the actual fan is?” he continued. “Like, we do a show, don’t nobody show up because it was all fake. So we purposely chose not to do that back then.”</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The conversation then went into how something like bots could benefit an artist if they were in a close race to No. 1 on the charts, to which Punch replied, “If that’s your aim, then yeah, I could see that, but we never been based on actual numbers. Our true metric is seeing people in them seats at the show.”</p>

We understand. Kendrick fulfilled all his contractual obligations and he wanted to expand what he was doing. So, yeah, let’s do it.” He added that they still consider themselves family and pointed out that <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sza/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sza/">SZA</a> was featured on “Luther,” made an appearance at the Super Bowl, and co-headlined a stadium tour.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A few weeks back, it was <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/the-game-drake-rap-missing-1236229381/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/the-game-drake-rap-missing-1236229381/">the Game</a>. Now we can add DJ Whoo Kid to the list of people saying that the rap game is missing <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/drake/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/drake/">Drake</a> on the charts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Whoo Kid sat down with <em><a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Rilx5JAugmgjn_YfYDerg" data-type="link" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Rilx5JAugmgjn_YfYDerg" target="_blank">Diverse Mentality</a></em> recently, and was asked about the Toronto rapper using his drop for the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kendrick-lamar/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kendrick-lamar/">Kendrick Lamar</a> diss track “Push Ups,” revealing that Drake hit him up randomly for permission while he was on a cruise with a significant other. He also said the moment helped younger fans become familiar with his mixtape days before equating it to <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-timeline/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-timeline/">the battle</a> between the two rap titans. “You know, the thing I’ve learned when you do stuff like that? It’s just a moment, man. Everything is a moment. Kendrick had his moment,” Whoo Kid said. “Six months, he’s the man. Then the Super Bowl, he’s the man.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	However, according to him, the genre is in dire need of Drake making his return to chart dominance.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“But the thing about Drake, he uses patience as a way of getting back,” he explained. “As you can see, I mean, where has hip-hop been? There’s no <em>Billboard</em> charts, there’s nothing. I think French Montana and Max B barely is like in the 80s and thank God they there in the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Hot 100</a>, but I don’t know. I think Sexyy Red is back up now because she just dropped, but there’s not really nobody like…I don’t know. You tell me. I’m not an expert in this, but I know when he’s here, we’re on the charts. If you wanna talk numbers and facts, whether it’s inflated or whatever ’cause labels been inflating sh– for years.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The wait is almost over, though, as Drake’s ninth solo album <em><a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-iceman-new-album-everything-we-know-what-did-i-miss/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-iceman-new-album-everything-we-know-what-did-i-miss/">Iceman</a></em> is set to drop next week, on May 15.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/mana/">Maná</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/alejandro-fernandez/">Alejandro Fernández</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/j-balvin/">J Balvin</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/los-angeles-azules/">Los Ángeles Azules</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/belinda/">Belinda</a> will be part of the lineup gracing the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Mexico City Stadium (Estadio Banorte) on June 11, the FIFA announced on Friday (May 8) on its social media channels.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Joining the star-studded lineup are Mexican-American singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lila-downs/">Lila Downs</a>, Venezuelan star <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/danny-ocean/">Danny Ocean</a> and South African artist <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tyla/">Tyla</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The FIFA World Cup is a moment the world shares, and that begins with how we open it,” <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DYGGqWzCA_Z/?hl=es&img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">reads the post</a>, which was also shared by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Mexico will kick-off an unprecedented Opening Ceremony with a celebration full of sound, colour, and meaning,” it adds. “It is the first note in a tournament that will echo across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, united by a shared passion for the game that connects millions worldwide.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The statement highlights that after the start in Mexico City and continuing in the following days in Toronto and Los Angeles, these ceremonies “will bring together music, culture and football in a way that reflects both the individuality of each nation and the unity that defines this tournament. It is a powerful way to begin a truly global celebration.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Organizers noted that each opening ceremony will begin 90 minutes before the kickoff of the match, starting in Mexico City on Thursday, June 11, at 11:30 a.m. local time. Gates will open four hours before the opening whistle, offering a full set of experiences including exclusive activations and rewards leading up to the game.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mexico will face South Africa in the opening match of the FIFA World Cup 2026, in a stadium that will go down in history as the first to host three FIFA World Cups. The FIFA World Cup 2026 will feature 104 matches in 16 host cities, starting on June 11 in Mexico City and concluding on July 19 in New York at the MetLife Stadium, which has been rebranded for the event as the New York New Jersey Stadium. <br></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Joey Valence & Brae delivered a chaotic, synth-heavy take on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu06XPjaML4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amyl and the Sniffers’ “Security”</a> during their appearance on <a data-id="6524416" data-type="post" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/watch-vance-joy-perform-radioheads-fake-plastic-trees-6524416/">triple j’s <em>Like A Version</em></a>, transforming the 2021 punk track into a bass-driven dance-rap performance.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The duo — currently touring behind their second album <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/concerts/joey-valence-brae-announce-2026-australia-new-zealand-tour-1236153914/" data-type="post" data-id="1236153914">HYPERYOUTH</a></em> — stripped back the original’s pub-rock guitars and rebuilt the song around electronic production, booming low-end and rapid-fire vocal exchanges, while still preserving the raw intensity of Amy Taylor’s original delivery.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Speaking during the session, Brae said the pair chose “Security” because of its immediacy and energy.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Just has so much energy. As soon as you hear it, you want to bounce off the wall,” he said. “So we knew we had to cover that one.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The duo also praised Taylor’s performance style and the loose, unpolished feel of the recording — qualities that helped make <em>Comfort To Me</em> one of Amyl and The Sniffers’ breakthrough releases internationally.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Released in 2021, “Security” appeared on the band’s second album <em>Comfort To Me</em>, which reached the top 25 on the Australian albums chart and significantly expanded the Melbourne group’s global profile. The album later helped propel Amyl and The Sniffers onto international festival bills and major touring circuits, with Taylor emerging as one of modern punk’s most recognizable frontpeople.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Joey Valence & Brae’s version pushes the song into entirely different territory sonically, drawing from dance music, early Beastie Boys-style rap cadences and hyperactive electronic textures — all trademarks of the duo’s own catalog.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The pair released <em>HYPERYOUTH</em> last year, collaborating with artists including JPEGMAFIA, Rebecca Black and TiaCorine across the project. The album was produced, mixed and mastered entirely by Valence in his Pennsylvania bedroom studio.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Their <em>Like A Version</em> appearance arrived during the Australian leg of the HYPERYOUTH World Tour, which recently included stops in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dua-lipa/">Dua Lipa</a> crashed <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tame-impala/">Tame Impala</a>‘s London show on Thursday night, joining Kevin Parker onstage at the O2 Arena for an unannounced two-song set that sent the crowd into a frenzy.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lipa appeared mid-set with no introduction during Tame Impala’s performance of “After Thought,” their 2025 collaboration, walking onstage and immediately launching into the song’s chorus. When the track ended, Parker officially welcomed his “good friend” to the stage. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Let’s play a song that we made together!” he announced, before the pair broke into Lipa’s 2024 hit “Houdini” — the funk-inspired single Parker produced for her third studio album <em>Radical Optimism</em>, on which Parker worked on several tracks as producer.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Thursday’s appearance is the latest in a series of mutual stage invasions between the two artists. In 2024, Lipa brought Parker out for her headlining set at Glastonbury Festival, where the pair performed “Houdini” and Tame Impala’s “The Less I Know the Better.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	During her 2025 Radical Optimism tour, Lipa also invited Parker to join her onstage in Melbourne, Australia. At her Sydney show at Qudos Bank Arena, Lipa told the crowd: “I made most of <em>Radical Optimism</em> with this person and he’s one of my favourite artists. He’s inspired me a lot. I manifested and dreamt about working with him one day and then I managed to make one of my favourite albums with him.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lipa and Parker first began working together in mid-2022. Lipa has said she “was so nervous because I’m just such a fan of Kevin’s” when the pair first started collaborating. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Houdini” peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release in 2024 and served as the lead single from <em>Radical Optimism</em>, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album earned Lipa a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. Tame Impala are currently on a world tour in support of their 2023 album <em>The Slow Rush (Collector’s Edition)</em>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny/">Bad Bunny</a> is no stranger to turning a look, but at the 2026 Met Gala on Monday (May 4), the Latin superstar had everyone doing double takes–even if it gave them a crick in the neck afterward. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Artificially aging himself with white hair and wrinkle makeup, Benito strolled down the Met Gala carpet, cane in hand, in an all-black suit with a large, flowy bow. Beyond hair and makeup, his body language sold the senior citizen look, too–no surprise, given that he’s set to star in a film about Puerto Rico directed by Residente following acting turns in <em>Bullet Train </em>and<em> Happy Gilmore 2.</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Vogue</em> red carpet co-host La La Anthony asked the Billboard Hot 100-topping, Grammy-winning Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner how he continues to one-up himself at the Met Gala. “I don’t know,” he replied. “It’s getting a part of my life, trying to do something different. This day of the Met is a perfect day to explore and be creative and express yourself in a different way.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As for how long the look took to put together, Bad Bunny joked to Anthony, “53 years exactly. It took a little bit but it’s worth it. I hope I look good,” he said. (Presumably, the Puerto Rican artist was hoping to score the senior discount on Met Museum tickets.) </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Elsewhere at the 2026 Met Gala, Maluma, Madonna, Beyoncé (one of this year’s co-chairs), Charli xcx, Sam Smith, Doja Cat, Sabrina Carpenter and all four members of BLACKPINK—JISOO, JENNIE, LISA and ROSÉ—all walked the red carpet. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/photos/2026-met-gala-red-carpet-photos-best-1236238745/">Check out a gallery</a> of the many musicians at the 2026 Met Gala here. The 2026 Met Gala theme is “Fashion Is Art,” centered around the “Costume Art” exhibit.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyoncé is more than just a Met Gala guest: She co-chaired this year’s event alongside Anna Wintour, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams. The singer turned the gala into a family affair, walking the red carpet with her husband, Jay-Z, and eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Blue Ivy is notably one of the youngest people in attendance at the event; since 2018, the Met Gala has implemented an 18+ rule for its attendees, though it looks like they made an exception for the co-chair’s daughter, who is just 14 years old. Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy stopped for photos on the red carpet together, posing as a family unit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Making what was already a momentous occasion even bigger, Beyoncé gave a rare interview with red carpet host La La Anthony. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This is the moment that everybody’s been waiting for,” Anthony said in introducing Queen Bey, before asking the singer how it felt to be back at the gala for the first time since 2016.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It feels surreal because my daughter’s here,” Beyoncé replied. “She looks so beautiful. It’s incredible to be able to share it with her.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyoncé shared that what she’s most excited for is being able to see the gala through her daughter’s eyes, and for being able to relax. She also shared what excites her most about her beautiful look.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m wearing Olivier Rousteing, who is someone that has been so loyal to me, and I’ve done so many incredible, iconic looks with him,” the star said of the designer, who served as the creative director for Balmain for 14 years before leaving the fashion house in 2025. “So it’s really about representing him.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Anthony and Beyoncé also expressed their excitement to celebrate diverse bodies — a large part of The Met Costume Institute’s spring exhibition theme of “Costume Art.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The different juicy, curvy, thin, tall, whatever. Just celebrating whatever God gave you,” Beyoncé said. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With Beyoncé’s appearance at this year’s Met Gala, many online are speculating that she may use the event as an opportunity to announce <em>Act III</em>, the rumored capper to an expected album trilogy that started with <em>Renaissance</em> and <em>Cowboy Carter</em>. However, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up too high: The singer’s longtime publicist responded to an X post by a fan account speculating that the Met Gala will launch the singer’s <em>Act III</em> era by saying, “This is unequivocally false!!” At the time of publication, Beyoncé herself has not yet shared anything about the album.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/madonna/">Madonna</a> is gearing up to return to the dance floor on July 3 with <em>Confessions II,</em> but on Monday (May 4), the Queen of Pop brought witchy wonders to the 2026 Met Gala red carpet in Manhattan.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Flanked by four women holding her grey veil trains, Madonna, imperious as ever, walked the red carpet wearing a black outfit with a gossamer, old-timey seacraft fixed to the top of her head. With the veils surrounding her headpiece, the effect was of a storm-tossed ship at sea. Designed by Anthony Vaccarello, it was a custom Yves Saint Laurent look inspired by British-Mexican painter Leonora Carrington’s painting <em>The Temptation of St. Anthony,</em> per <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/art-books-music/a71205150/madonna-red-carpet-photos-met-gala-2026/" target="_blank">Harper’s Bazaar.</a> Centered around the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new exhibit “Costume Art,” the Met Gala dress code this year is “Fashion Is Art,” so Madonna’s campy, surrealist look is right on theme (as she always is at the Met Gala).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Madonna recently teased <em>Confessions II </em>with the release of “I Feel So Free” and lead single “Bring Your Love,” a duet with Sabrina Carpenter that dropped last Friday, following Madonna’s surprise appearance during Carpenter’s headlining set during Coachella weekend 2. The <em>Man’s Best Friend</em> singer also walked the Met Gala red carpet, draped in a gown made out of film strips taken from 1954’s <em>Sabrina</em>, a romantic comedy starring Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn, which Carpenter called “one of my favorite films of all time.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyoncé is one of the 2026 Met Gala co-chairs; for her red carpet look, she brought out daughter Blue Ivy and husband Jay-Z, making her <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/beyonce-attends-met-gala-first-time-10-years-dress-1236238911/">appearance a family affair.</a> To see what other musicians hit the 2026 Met Gala, check out <a href="https://www.billboard.com/photos/2026-met-gala-red-carpet-photos-best-1236238745/">this photo gallery.</a></p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall"><p>The 2026 Met Gala has come to an end, and the stars really showed out on the red carpet (which was <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/met-gala-2026-carpet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">not actually red</a>). Before we put fashion’s biggest behind us and start speculating on next year’s theme, let’s take a look at some of the best outfits worn on Monday (May 4).</p>
<p>Helmed by co-chairs Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, Anna Wintour and Beyoncé—who made her first appearance at the annual event in 10 years—the 2026 Met Gala was all about the intersection of fashion and art, embodying the Met’s Costume Institute’s spring exhibition “Costume Art” and its celebration of <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/beyond-body-con-in-the-the-mets-spectacular-new-exhibition-costume-art-the-human-form-connects-fashion-and-art" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">diverse bodies</a>.</p>
<p>“Pairings between fashions and artworks will present a spectrum of connections and experiences: from the formal to the conceptual, the aesthetic to the political, the individual to the universal, the illustrative to the symbolic, and the playful to the profound,” reads a description of the exhibit on the <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/costume-art" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Met’s website.</a></p>
<p>To complement the exhibit, this year’s Met Gala dress code was “Fashion Is Art,” a theme that left much room for interpretation. And interpret the stars did. With such an open-ended concept to play with, attendees experimented with color, texture, references, inspiration and more. No two looks were the same, unlike in <a href="https://people.com/zendaya-and-anna-sawai-wear-nearly-identical-looks-at-the-2025-met-gala-11728773" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">previous years</a>. Although not every look was memorable, there were certainly some red carpet showstoppers worth writing home about. In particular, 10 looks sported by musicians caught Billboard’s attention more than others. (Though many other artists wore incredible looks, too, which you <a href="https://www.billboard.com/photos/2026-met-gala-red-carpet-photos-best-1236238745/">can check out here.</a>)</p>
<p>From SZA’s upcycled couture to Bad Bunny’s senior citizen cosplay to Beyoncé’s show-stopping <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/beyonce-attends-met-gala-first-time-10-years-dress-1236238911/">grand return</a> to the Met Gala, here are Billboard’s top 2026 Met Gala looks.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Malone first crossed into country territory with <em>F-1 Trillion</em>, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2024 and produced the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit “I Had Some Help” featuring Morgan Wallen. The album marked a significant commercial and artistic pivot for the artist, who had previously dominated the Hot 100 across pop and hip-hop with hits including “Sunflower,” “Rockstar” and “Circles.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/maren-morris/">Maren Morris</a> is weighing in on the current wave of women dominating country music, and she has nothing but praise for her peers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Speaking with hosts <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o9aVHJJOSS8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mack and Jen</a> on <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://sxm.app.link/PRlink-SiriusXMHits1">SiriusXM Hits 1</a></em>, Morris singled out <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ella-langley/">Ella Langley</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lainey-wilson/">Lainey Wilson</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/megan-moroney/">Megan Moroney</a> as artists exciting her right now.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m so excited that they’re all crushing it,” Morris said, “because for a very long time it was pretty sparse having women dominate the charts and awards and just be paid what they’re worth. It’s amazing to see that tide turning and them all just having this huge moment right now simultaneously without competition.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Morris was equally effusive about the songwriters behind the records, noting her personal connections to many of them. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m friends with a lot of them and I’m super proud that they’re on these big projects,” she said. “The songwriting is just getting so good and that always makes me excited to continue writing.” She added: “It’s just nice to know right now that there’s so much quality music happening. I love that country is having a moment — it’s always to me been a global genre.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The comments come at a significant moment for women in country. Wilson took home four CMA Awards in 2023 and has since become one of the genre’s biggest live draws. Moroney’s debut <em>Tennessee Orange</em> reached the top five of the Billboard 200, while Langley scored her first No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with “You Look Like You Love Me” featuring Riley Green. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The three artists represent a broader shift in a genre that has historically struggled to give women equal footing on radio and at awards shows.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Morris herself has long been among country’s most outspoken advocates for that change, having publicly addressed industry pay disparities and the underrepresentation of women on country radio throughout her career. Her 2019 single “The Bones” spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart — a record at the time for a female solo artist — and her album <em>Girl</em> won Best Country Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards. Her 2016 debut <em>Hero</em> produced the top five country hit “My Church” and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Morris released her most recent studio album, <em>Intermission</em>, in 2023. The full interview with Mack and Jen airs on <em>SiriusXM Hits 1</em>, channel 2, Monday through Friday at noon ET.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jack-johnson/">Jack Johnson</a> has announced a six-date Australian and New Zealand tour this November, joined for the first time by <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ben-harper/">Ben Harper</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-butler-trio/">John Butler</a> as special guests performing solo and acoustic.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The SURFILMUSIC 2026 Australia & New Zealand Tour opens at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Nov. 7 before heading to Kings Park & Botanic Gardens in Perth (Nov. 10), The Domain in Sydney (Nov. 14), Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne (Nov. 17), Spark Arena in Auckland (Nov. 20) and closing at Waipara Winehouse in North Canterbury, New Zealand on Nov. 22. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Artist presale runs May 7-8, with Mastercard presale from May 8-12. General on-sale opens Tuesday, May 12 at 2 p.m. local time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The tour marks Johnson’s first return to Australia and New Zealand since 2022 and celebrates the release of the <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/jack-johnson-surfilmusic-honors-tamayo-perry-1236200005/" data-type="post" data-id="1236200005">SURFILMUSIC</a></em> documentary soundtrack, scored by Johnson and Hermanos Gutiérrez, due May 15. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The documentary — which premiered at SXSW in March — traces Johnson’s journey from surfer to filmmaker to musician, from his youth on the north shore of Hawaii through the making of his iconic surf films <em>Thicker Than Water</em> (1999) and <em>The September Sessions</em> (2000). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Johnson will perform alongside his long-time bandmates Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski and Zach Gill, with fans able to expect classics including “Better Together,” “Flake,” “Inaudible Melodies,” “Taylor” and “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing,” alongside new material from the soundtrack.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The addition of Harper and Butler makes for a particularly loaded bill. Harper is a three-time Grammy Award winner whose catalogue includes “Burn One Down,” “Steal My Kisses” and “Diamonds on the Inside” — he has sold more than 16 million records worldwide across 18 studio albums. Butler, one of Australia’s most enduring independent artists, brings more than 25 years of hits including “Zebra,” “Better Than” and the instrumental epic “Ocean.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Indigenous artist Emily Wurramara will perform at the Sydney show only. The tour is presented by Live Nation in partnership with Double J for Australian dates.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Johnson has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide across eight studio albums. Since 2001, proceeds from his albums and tours have resulted in more than $40 million donated to environmental, art and music education charities through the Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation and the Johnson ʻOhana Foundation, which he founded with his wife Kim.</p>

<media:keywords>Noah, Kahan’s, Producer, Gabe, Simon, Goes, Behind, the, Scenes, ‘The, Great, Divide’:, ‘I’d, Never, Heard, Noah, That, Before’: Exclusive</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-not-a-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Gabe Simon</strong> was already having a pretty good day on Sunday (May 3) when he found out that <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/noah-kahan/">Noah Kahan</a>’s <em>The Great Divide</em>, which he co-wrote and co-produced, had <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/noah-kahan-the-great-divide-number-one-billboard-200-chart-1236237889/">debuted at No. 1</a> on the Billboard 200 all-genre chart dated May 9.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I had a turkey leg in my left hand. I was at the [Tennessee] Renaissance [Festival]. My kids are running around dressed up as fairies, and I get a text from manager Drew [Simmons] saying that we’re No. 1,” he tells <em>Billboard</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kahan’s fourth full-length studio project is his first chart topper in the U.S., earning 389,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate. That makes the Mercury/Republic Records release the largest rock album since the Billboard 200 began measuring by units in late 2014. The title also landed the largest streaming week of any album so far in 2026 and had the biggest vinyl sales week for a rock album since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991. The album also had the largest streaming week of any album in 2026.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And the news got better. Monday (May 4), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/noah-kahan-great-divide-hot-100-1236238425/">all 21 songs</a> from the standard and deluxe version of <em>The Great Divide</em> appeared on the Hot 100, making Kahan only the sixth non-rap artist to chart 21 or more songs on the chart simultaneously.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Simon met Kahan through Simmons, who also manages Kahan, and began working with the folk rocker on 2022’s <em>Stick Season</em>, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and turned him into a star. Simon produced <em>The Great Divide</em> with Kahan and <strong>Aaron Dessner</strong>, The National guitarist and composer best known for his work with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/taylor-swift/">Taylor Swift</a>, and co-wrote 10 of the 21 tracks.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Given <em>The Great Divide</em>’s often dark and occasionally vitriolic subject matter about relationships and the chasm that exists in communication, sometimes the mood during the album’s creation would be appropriately downcast.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I couldn’t give you one particular vibe because it kept oscillating depending on where we were in the process,” Simon says. “Early on, it was angry and dark. I remember heading up to [Dessner’s] Long Pond [Studio in upstate New York] with Noah, and he goes, ‘I just want to write dark, angry sh-t.’  And I was just like, ‘Let’s do it.’  That’s when we did ‘Downfall’ and ‘Lighthouse’ and ‘A Few of Your Own,’ which is not sad or angry at all.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But while recording and living at a farmhouse outside of Nashville, regardless of the sad content, the mood was upbeat. “We’re riding dirt bikes and shooting shotguns and we’re cooking our dinners for each other,” Simon continued. “We’re hanging out with cows and feeding chickens, fishing and just having fun.” Despite writing and recording such songs as the gaslight-fueled “Deny, Deny, Deny,” “we were just in a spot of contentment,” Simon says.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Over the last few years, Simon and Kahan have built up a circle of trust. “We have an unspoken language that really does something beautiful, and I love it,” Simon says. “I’m grateful for the trust, the companionship, that [Noah] lets me be critical of him and lets me push him,” Simon says. “I mean, that’s not the case with everybody, especially as they get bigger. In this moment right now, we’re seeing the fruits of that labor.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Below, Simon takes <em>Billboard </em>behind the scenes of creating several songs on the album. The interview has been edited for clarity and length.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sabrina-carpenter/">Sabrina Carpenter</a> is checking items off her pop icon bucket list at a rapid pace. After teaming up with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/madonna/">Madonna</a> on the bubbling dance track “<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/madonna-sabrina-carpentersbring-your-love-best-new-music-1236238041/">Bring Your Love</a>” from the Queen of Pop’s upcoming <em>Confessions II</em> album last week, Carpenter ticked off another Mt. Olympus of diva collabs at the Met Gala on Monday night (May 4) when she took the stage with Fleetwood Mac’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/stevie-nicks/">Stevie Nicks</a> for a meditative cover of her band’s legendary 1975 ballad “Landslide.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX8VpGruHhG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">video posted by the Met Museum</a>, Nicks took the stage first, dressed in a bewitching glittery black gown accented by translucent fingerless gloves, emerging like the classical work of art she is after a pair of assistants pulled down a sheet covering a giant picture frame, with the singer backlit like an Impressionist masterpiece. Over gently picked acoustic guitar, Nicks sang the opening lines, “I took my love, I took it down/ Climbed a mountain and I turned around/ And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills/ ‘Til the landslide brought me down.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Then, Carpenter, wearing a shimmering golden gown, emerged from the dark and gently took Nicks’ hand as she cooed the lines, “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?/ Can the child within my heart rise above?/ Can I sail through the changin’ ocean tides?/ Can I handle the seasons of my life?”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After the last line, Nicks, 77, sagely told Carpenter, 26, “I don’t know … we don’t know.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The women then joined forces for the third verse, their voices perfectly melded as they sang, “Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’/ ‘Cause I’ve built my life around you/ But time makes you bolder/ Children get older/ And I’m gettin’ older, too/ Yes, I’m gettin’ older, too.” While the A++-list of guests could be heard chatting over the first half of the song, by the time the two women hit the final refrain it sounded as if the room as gone silent to properly take in the superstar summit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Nicks kept Carpenter out to give her a hand on Mac’s “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow,” and then also performed “Gypsy” and her 1981 solo hit “Edge of Seventeen.” </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a new interview with <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/niall-horan-new-album-one-direction-interview-1235544867/" target="_blank"><em>Rolling Stone</em> </a>(April 30), the One Direction alum opened up about his approach to songwriting, praising the return of bridges to pop music, which he credited to Rodrigo.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s great to hear [bridges]. I feel like Olivia Rodrigo has been a big influence on that for pop writers,” the Irish singer said, before crooning a bit of the “Drivers License” bridge. “What I like about Olivia’s music is [that] you feel like you’re getting one song and then you get a completely different song. It completely flips on its head musically, goes somewhere different, brings you to a bridge, brings you to some weird musical breakdown thing. Whatever [she] and Dan Nigro are up to is a good little team they’ve got going there. It’s definitely influencing people, including myself.”</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Horan spoke extensively about his forthcoming <em>Dinner Party</em>, which is slated to arrive on June 5 via Capitol Records. He’s already shared two songs from the new album, including its title track and “Little More Time,” both of which were co-produced by Afterhrs, John Ryan and Julian Bunetta. Accompanied by a sprawling <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/niall-horan-dinner-party-tour-coming-to-america-1236207127/">22-date tour</a> of Europe, Ireland & the U.K., the Irishman’s newest LP is the official follow-up to 2023’s <em>The Show</em>, which opened at No. 2 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a>. In his <em>RS</em> interview, Horan also noted the increased presence of rock influences on his upcoming album, which he credits to his lifelong appreciation for pop-punk bands like <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/blink-182/">Blink-182</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That drum sound is something that we were trying to chase, and that comes from that late-’90s, early-2000s punk-rock era,” he said. “Rock’s been a big influence in my life since I was a child. I write pop songs, but dressing them up in a different way sometimes is quite cool. And now, the way my career is going, I’m completely thinking about live shows all the time. I learned so much from being on the road and being out there every night. There’s only so much sitting on Spotify you can do and reading comments before you actually get an idea of what people actually think. You can see it in the room. The rockier stuff really goes off at the shows.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The “Slow Hands” singer also has a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/thomas-rhett-niall-horan-two-summer-stadium-shows-tickets-1236195865/">pair of U.S. stadium shows</a> set for this year. Alongside longtime friend and Grammy-nominated country star Thomas Rhett, Horan will play GEODIS Park in Nashville on July 9 and Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pa., on July 19, with Live Nation promoting both shows. Kashus Culpepper and Emily Ann Roberts will open both shows. Horan’s busy year on the road means all four surviving members of One Direction will be touring new music this year. When asked about experiencing shows from his former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and ZAYN, Horan gave shout-outs to Styles and Tomlinson.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I went to Harry’s show a couple of years ago, and that was just wild. Madness going on there,” he said. “It reminded me of the 1D stadium shows where it was just seas of people jumping up and down. Watching the things going on on the floor, all the fans dancing around, I love that. You feel a sense of pride watching the boys doing what they love to do, and the communities that they’re able to create. I’m going to try and get to a Louis show of some capacity in the next few weeks.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Horan is also the fourth One Direction alum to release a new album this year. Tomlinson shared <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/louis-tomlinson-billboard-cover-story-interview-1236151775/">How Did I Get Here?</a></em> in January; Styles went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/harry-styles-kiss-all-the-time-number-one-billboard-200-1236199492/">Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally</a></em> in March; and ZAYN dropped <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/zayn-konnakol-stream-it-now-1236224963/">Konnakol</a></em> earlier this month (April 17).</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Concord announced the acquisition of Mothership Music Publishing. Concord’s acquisition includes the continuation of deals with Mothership’s roster of active songwriters, where Concord will assume the terms of the deal.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The deal also includes more than 5,000 copyrights across pop, indie, rock, alternative, indie folk, Latin and singer-songwriter genres.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Having known and worked with the Mothership team over the years, I have watched them build a company dedicated to elevating great artistry,” <strong>Jim Selby</strong>, Chief Publishing Executive at Concord, said in a statement. “They have assembled a fantastic catalog and a great roster of songwriters. Thanks to Brett, Lionel, Doug and Hein for entrusting Concord to carry on supporting great songwriting.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mothership was founded in 2013 as a partnership between <strong>Brett Gurewitz</strong> (Epitaph Records), <strong>Lionel Conway</strong>, <strong>Doug Mark</strong> and <strong>Hein van der Ree</strong>. The company’s roster includes The Marías, Falling In Reverse, Architects and Pam Sheyne. Mothership held a long-standing sub-publishing partnership with Concord outside of the U.S., and its artists will now have access to Concord’s A&R, sync, marketing and licensing teams.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It has been a wonderful 13-year ride,” Conway, co-president of Mothership Music Publishing, said in a statement. “Mothership was built on a simple belief: great songwriters deserve real, long-term support and a publisher who truly understands their vision. We’re fortunate to have built something very special together, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved. Concord has been part of that journey since the beginning, and there is no better home for our songwriters as they continue to grow globally. I also want to thank our incredible team at Mothership for giving our writers so much care and attention over the years.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cynthia Katz of Fox Rothschild LLP advised Concord on the transaction. Doug Mark and Eric Morris of Mark Music & Media Law and Steven Barlevi of Citrin Cooperman advised Mothership.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Warner Chappell Music (WCM) announced the launch of direct operations in India, marking the move from WMC’s prior sub-publishing model to a full-scale, direct-to-market presence in the country. Along with the announcement, <strong>Jay Mehta</strong>, who served as managing director of Warner Music India since its 2020 launch, has been appointed to lead the new division. He will oversee both recorded music and publishing operations across India and neighboring South Asian markets.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“India’s songwriters are world-class, constantly redefining genres and publishing creative boundaries,” Mehta said in a statement. “By establishing a direct footprint for Warner Chappell, we’re bridging the gap between local brilliance and global opportunity. We’re now positioned to offer Indian creators the sophisticated and international reach that only a world-leading publisher can provide, ensuring their music resonates on a global stage.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Guy Moot</strong>, co-chair and CEO and <strong>Carianne Marshall</strong>, co-chair and COO of Warner Chappell Music, said in a statement, “India has some of the most talented songwriters in the world, and they are increasingly making their mark globally. What excites us most about this move is not just the expansion of our presence, but the opportunity to help shape an evolving publishing ecosystem that truly works for creators and ensures their music is heard, protected and rewarded everywhere. With Jay Mehta at the helm and our global team behind him, our songwriters couldn’t be in better hands.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Robert Kyncl</strong>, CEO of WMG, said in a statement, “India is a key part of our global growth strategy, and the talent emerging there is truly world-class. By bringing our publishing and recorded music operations under Jay Mehta’s proven leadership, we’re creating a unified powerhouse that can be better serve creators and fans alike. This is the right moment to double down on our investment in India’s vibrant creative economy.” — <em>Ariel King</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Iron Maiden’s Adrian Smith says he was “kind of dreading” the prospect of being part of <em>Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition</em>, the new documentary about the band that’s opening May 7 in theaters worldwide. But the guitarist is pleased to report that he “was pleasantly surprised” with the results.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I enjoyed it,” Smith tells <em>Billboard</em> via Zoom from Turks and Caicos. “It’s a pretty deep dive. It’s great for the fans to have this.” And, he adds, it’s nice for the members of the band as well.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“For me, personally, it’s nice to see the old footage,” Smith acknowledges. “It’s like another life back 40 years ago, whenever. There’s some things in there that are discussed more thoroughly than it’s ever been. It’s an interesting piece, I think.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The film comes on the heels of news that Maiden <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/rock-hall-fame-nominees-2026-list-1236186061/">will be inducted</a> into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Nov. 14. The group — whose frontman, Bruce Dickinson, famously called the Rock Hall “an utter and complete load of bollocks” — will not attend the ceremony, which falls on a day in between two stops on the Australian leg of its Run For Your Lives World Tour.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Directed by Malcolm Venville (<em>Churchill at War</em>) and produced by Dominic Freeman (<em>Depeche Mode: Spirits in the Forest</em>), <em>Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition</em> is as much about the fans as it is the band. There are some famous faces among them, too — including actor Javier Bardem, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Public Enemy’s Chuck D, Tom Morello, Kiss’ Gene Simmons, Anthrax’s Scott Ian and the Cure’s Simon Gallup, who are interviewed alongside the rank-and-file faithful. The Maiden members, present and past, spoke with Venville for the film but are heard off-camera rather than seen.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It felt like something that needed a clear point of view from the outset,” Venville explains. “From the beginning I wanted to avoid the conventionally narrated documentary. The Iron Maiden story felt like it had to be told through the fans. What struck me was how difficult Maiden fans are to define. They cut across countries, backgrounds and generations but behave like a single community. That became the foundation of the film. The fans themselves became the story. They don’t just attend shows. They organize their lives around the tours, forming social groups that span continents. It began to feel less like documenting an audience and more like observing a culture.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That, of course, extends to Eddie, Maiden’s longtime, ghoulish mascot whose history and evolution is treated in depth during the film. “He isn’t just a mascot, he’s a visual expression of the band’s identity,” Venville says. “That idea informed how we approached the animation throughout the film.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The director’s approach was illuminating for the band, too, according to Smith.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I thought Javier Bardem reading the lyrics to ‘Run to the Hills’ was amazing; he made them sound so deep and meaningful. I’ve never heard them like that before,” Smith says. “I always get a kick when people turn up who are very successful in other fields, and they like what you do — like Chris Jericho, Javier, people like that. I’ve heard the new (prime minister) of Japan (Sanae Takaichi) is an Iron Maiden fan. The fans of yesterday are now part of the sort of establishment. I find it amusing, and quite flattering.”</p>

		Numbering the Beast	</h2>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The guitarist feels that connection with fans, famous and otherwise, has been forged mostly by Iron Maiden’s continued presence on stage. “It’s always been a touring band,” he says. “We took the music to the people. I think in the long run people remember that, and it’s a very honest way to build up a following.” <em>Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition</em> is loaded with live footage from throughout the band’s now 51-year career, right up to longtime drummer Nicko McBrain’s final performance during December 2024 in Sao Paulo before retiring due to health issues.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Smith describes <em>Burning Ambition</em> as an independent endeavor by the filmmakers. “It’s got very little to do with the Iron Maiden organization,” he says. “I think in the past we’ve always been involved in the production of these things, but this is a totally outside job rather than an inside job. The only part we had was people from the film company came to our homes and interviewed us and then laid our voices over some of the footage, but we don’t actually appear. It’s quite a powerful way of doing it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A particularly illuminating segment of the film for Smith was the treatment of his time out of the band from 1990-1999, during which frontman Bruce Dickinson also left the group for several years. “Bruce is talking about that (in the film) and how he felt, and that was quite nice to see that he kind of cared a bit, and that I was kind of missed, I suppose,” says Smith, who played on two of Dickinson’s solo albums during that time. “I think it needed to happen at the time. It was the right thing to do. I wasn’t happy. I didn’t jump up and down and stamp my feet and storm off; it just kind happened over a period of time. It was difficult.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When I came back to the band I had a different perspective. I could see it for what it was and appreciate it a lot more and be part of it. And I haven’t looked back since.”</p>



	<h2 class="heading larva //   a-font-secondary-fancy-xl   ">
		Maiden Voyage	</h2>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Smith and the rest of Maiden — including new drummer Simon Dawson, though McBrain remains a band member — are in the midst of the Run For Your Lives World Tour, which began last May and runs through November. A North American leg will take place during late August and September. The setlist this time out is drawn from Maiden’s first nine albums, including the first performances in many years for early favorites such as “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “Killers,” “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” “The Clairvoyant” and others.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s great playing that set,” Smith says. “It’s songs from way back, and they still sound great when you give them an airing. They still sound fresh and powerful. We try something different every time, a different kind of theme, to keep it fresh rather than just playing the same old thing, and it’s great fun. The fans are loving it. And for me…I mean, it changed my life, joining Iron Maiden (in 1980) and then we went on to record <em>Killers</em>. So playing those songs just takes me back in time, temporarily.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Smith advises that fans should get their Maiden fix this year, since the group is planning to be inactive during 2027. He’ll fill the time with his other band, Smith/Kotzen, with Richie Kotzen, which has so far released two albums. Smith will likely do some fishing, a passion he chronicled in his 2020 memoir <em>Monsters of River and Rock</em>. He’s not worried about Maiden’s break being too open-ended, however.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I can’t see that happening,” Smith notes. “We all love doing it. (Bassist and founder) Steve Harris, he’s 70 now, and the guy can go and play (soccer) in the afternoon, 90 minutes, a proper game, then go on stage and play tours of a Maiden set — then get up and basically do the same thing the next day. That’s the kind of spirit that drives all of us, so…I’m sure we’ll be back to it before too long.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In its verdict, the jury found that Live Nation was acting as an illegal monopoly, controlling the market for ticketing services, concert ticketing and the use of amphitheatres, and that it illegally tied the use of its venues to its concert promotion services.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The outcome is still to be determined, but could possibly force the sale of Ticketmaster in the U.S.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“A ruling like this is monumental,” says <strong>Lucas McCarthy</strong>, the founder and CEO of Showpass, one of Canada’s biggest independent ticketing companies.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This is a sign of the times that ticketing and live events are as important to people as core basket items like food and shelter,” McCarthy says. “It’s a good indicator that society holds live entertainment at the very forefront.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tixr is another significant independent player in the ticketing industry. Though it was founded in the U.S., the company has a sizeable presence in Canada with operations headed by <strong>Stéphane McGarry</strong>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In an interview alongside CEO and co-founder Robert Davari, McGarry says he is also optimistic the verdict could lead to similar scrutiny in Canada.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I do think there’s an opportunity for Canada to follow suit,” he tells <em>Billboard Canada</em>. “The U.S. is a very tough market to prove monopolistic behaviour, and it has now been proven in court. So now if Canada’s Competition Bureau were to have a look at this, which we’re hoping they do, they have a blueprint for how to think about it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A spokesperson from the Bureau says they are monitoring the impact of the trial.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We are aware of the recent verdict in the Live Nation case in the United States,” the spokesperson says in a statement to <em>Billboard Canada</em>. “We continue to monitor the work of our international counterparts, while recognizing that each jurisdiction operates within its own legal framework.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Despite how it is adopted in Canada, McCarthy predicts the verdict will allow room for more competition. More companies might be willing to build alternatives without being discouraged by inability to compete. And that could be passed down to the fans.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This might create a new category of businesses that are more inspired and willing to participate,” he says. “I think we’ll see significantly more innovation.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	McGarry is hopeful the Competition Bureau will conduct a new inquiry, and is open to the possibility of putting together a group of companies to lobby.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	Both programs reflect the company’s ongoing mission to support local artists, festivals and events, fostering an environment where “a diversity of Canadian music artists connect with audiences everywhere.” The Promoter Program and Festival Program are intended to share investment risk with live music companies that have a “proven track record” of successfully presenting Canadian artists and centring diverse voices. The goal is for more shows to be put on across Canada and for more Canadians to be part of the teams presenting them.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“In this moment, supporting the Canadian businesses that help shape our identity is more important than ever,” says <strong>Meg Symsyk</strong>, president & CEO of FACTOR. “At a time of rising costs and increased competition from foreign-owned companies, this support will enable our promoters and festivals to continue bringing Canadian artists to stages across the country and marketing those performances effectively, helping artists grow their audiences and careers.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Promoter Program was initially launched in 2024 as a pilot project with Musicaction to recognize and support concert promotion staff amid the increasing importance of live music entertainment and touring. Its goal was to foster diverse voices and help bring more Canadian, Indigenous and marginalized artists onstage, as well as behind the scenes. With such initiatives, FACTOR aims to keep diverse Canadian voices and communities at the centre of the live music experience, helping ensure stages are shaped by homegrown talent and values.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The CLMA is very pleased to see the return of the Promoter Program and new Festivals Program at FACTOR and Musicaction. Promoters and presenters are the purveyors of Canada’s cultural sovereignty; this investment represents more opportunities for homegrown artists and support for Canadian live music businesses,” said <strong>Maddy Oliver</strong>, interim executive director of the CLMA.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ryo Asai’s <em>In the Megachurch</em> hits No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 list released April 23 — its first time atop the chart in 25 weeks on the tally.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The novel, which weaves together three characters’ contrasting experiences around Japan’s “oshikatsu” culture (devoted fan support for a favorite celebrity or character), won the top prize at the 2026 Hon’ya Taisho (Japan Booksellers’ Award), announced on April 9. The title held at No. 1 on the social media metric while improving on last week’s positions in brick-and-mortar, e-commerce (EC) and subscriptions.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tatsuya Endo’s <em>SPY×FAMILY</em> Vol. 17 stays in the top 3 for a third consecutive week at No. 2. Debuting at No. 3 is Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura’s <em>Blue Lock</em> Vol. 38.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ao Kojima’s <em>Hon nara Uru Hodo</em> Vol. 3 enters at No. 4. Set in a small secondhand bookshop called Jugatsu-do, the human drama manga scores in the top 20 across four metrics: No. 3 in brick-and-mortar, No. 4 in EC, No. 17 in e-books and No. 2 in social media. The title took the top spot in the male category of <em>Kono Manga ga Sugoi! </em> (“This Manga is Amazing”) 2026 guidebook.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In other chart moves, Haruo Yuki’s <em>Hakobune</em>, published in 2022, climbs from outside the top 20 to No. 18. The mystery novel follows a group of people pushed to their limits, trapped in a flooding underground structure. Yuki’s next title, <em>Rakuen</em>, is due out July 23. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 is a comprehensive chart combining physical sales, e-books, library loans, subscription data and social media activity. Below are the top 10 titles on this week’s list, tracking the period from Apr. 13 to Apr. 19.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	You know what? Right now I’m going to have to tell you it’s Celia Cruz. They gave me a little coin printed with that and with that I made many decisions today. What dress should I wear, Celia? OK, the white one. That’s how I was — that’s how I was the whole time saying: “Hair down or up, Celia?’ I mean, right now Celia.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jessica Roiz:</p>

	David Bisbal:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I can’t stick with just one. Obviously, the ones who are here stand out, because they are the women of this year who stand out, Latinas. Yes. But honestly, we’re in a very good moment for music in Spanish and, about everything, thinking not only about one genre, but about, about the more regional sounds of each country.</p>

	<strong>Precious Jacobs-Perry</strong>, a Chicago-based partner at the law firm Jenner & Block, says Chance the Rapper “has a reputation that precedes him in in this city” for both musical excellence and business acumen. After representing Chance at trial against his longtime manager <strong>Pat Corcoran</strong>, Jacobs-Perry says she can confirm that this reputation holds true.</p>

	“He is a man of principle,” Jacobs-Perry tells <em>Billboard </em>of Chance, adding that the rapper “is in control” of several businesses that “all start and end with him. He takes his role seriously, not only as an artist, but also as the head of all these different businesses,” she says.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The business activities of Chance (born Chancelor Bennett) were the subject of the rapper’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/chance-the-rapper-pat-the-manager-legal-timeline/">Chicago court battle</a> against Corcoran, commonly known as Pat the Manager. Corcoran <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chance-the-rapper-sued-former-manager-3-million/">sued in 2020,</a> alleging Chance owed him nearly $4 million in commissions, including under a so-called “sunset clause” that he said should have gotten him paid for three years post-termination. Chance maintained that there was no such sunset clause, and the nearly $11 million he paid Corcoran over the years was more than sufficient</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	What made this case so novel was that Corcoran and Chance never had a written contract; they always operated under a handshake deal. While this sort of casual arrangement is common in artist-manager relationships, there’s very little settled case law about how to interpret oral contracts. This meant that after years of litigation, a judge ruled the dispute had to be decided by a jury. That jury ultimately <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chance-the-rapper-verdict-wins-trial-pat-the-manager/">sided with Chance</a> after a two-week trial last month, rejecting all of Corcoran’s claims.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Chance also won on his <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chance-rapper-lawsuit-pat-corcoran-manager/">counterclaims</a> for breach of contract and tortious interference, which alleged that Corcoran took kickbacks and improperly structured business dealings to benefit himself. The one point of loss for Chance was that the jury awarded him only $35 on these counterclaims. In a statement following the verdict, Corcoran’s lawyer <strong>Jay Scharkey </strong>said, “We respect the jury’s decision, but the message to music managers is clear: Get it in writing. The jury award of $35 speaks to how seriously the jury viewed Chance’s case.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jacobs-Perry says this $35 award was out of $98,000 Chance was seeking, not the $1 million number that’s been floated in some reports. She also notes that Chance’s financial damages could be significantly boosted following another mini-trial on a remaining breach of fiduciary duty counterclaim, which must be decided by a judge rather than the jury under the law. This second trial, scheduled to begin May 27, could see Chance walk away with as much as $11 million from Corcoran.</p>

	“We don’t want people to think that it’s not worth fighting for your rights when you believe that you’re being taken advantage of,” says Jacobs-Perry of why she thinks these counterclaims are important. The attorney discussed this and more during an extended interview with <em>Billboard</em>.   </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What pieces of evidence do you think were most crucial for the jury to return a verdict in your favor when it came to that sunset clause?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We had two pieces of critical evidence that I described as smoking guns in this case. First, Pat himself wrote a five-page email in March of 2014 to Chance’s lawyer detailing what he believed the agreement was. What was missing? The alleged sunset and post-termination provisions. Then in 2019, he again wrote to Chance’s lawyer when they were thinking about restructuring. He wrote, “To date, here’s what we had.” It was 15% of net. That’s it. Nothing about a sunset. Nothing about a post-termination provision. Never writing down anything about any obligations that would extend beyond his termination. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We had those two critical pieces of evidence regarding what he believed in real time the agreement was. And then we had Chance’s testimony that he did not agree to this kind of provision and explaining why he, as an independent artist and someone who believes that artists should own their art, would never have agreed to any of that. And I think putting all that together, what the parties actually agreed to in 2013 became very clear.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You also won a verdict on your counterclaims against Pat for breach of contract and tortious interference. What pieces of evidence do you think led the jury to reach that conclusion?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There were a couple of different buckets. One was his website, chanceraps.com. Pat registered that in his name back in 2012 or 2013, which is a complete violation of their relationship, because that is Chance’s website that was being used to conduct his merchandise business. The second bucket was merchandise vendors. Pat was picking a vendor and then saying to the vendor, “I’m going to bring all this business to you, including Chance’s business, and I want a kickback.” If it is your job to negotiate the best price for an artist, then the fact that you’re negotiating this kickback for yourself inevitably means that you are not then negotiating the best price for the artist on the merchandise.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The other bucket was a movie deal where <strong>Scott Bernstein</strong>, who was the producer for <em>Straight Outta Compton</em> and <em>Respect</em>, featuring Aretha Franklin’s story, came to Pat as Chance’s manager to figure out a project that he could do with Chance, and [Pat] cut himself into that deal. And so instead of it being a 50-50, split between Mr. Bernstein’s company and Chance’s company, it then became one-third, one-third and one-third, including Pat and his company. Pat’s position was that there was nothing wrong with any of this, that he should be able to do these things, and that the evidence did not support that they were a violation of his duties. The jury decisively said this was not the case – that a manager, when you are interacting with third parties, your goal should always be to act in the best interest of your principal. And the testimony and the documents showed that was not happening here.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Do you still view the jury’s decision on the counterclaims as meaningful even though they awarded only $35?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	What came out of that decision was very critical: Managers and other third-party agents will be held accountable if they are out in the world doing things outside the purview of their artist and things that are not in that artist’s best interest. And the jury was very decisive on that. They said, “You breached the contract because you were engaging in this behavior, and you violated the law because you tortiously interfered with Chance’s business relationships with third parties.” That was a decisive outcome, and I think it’s an important one that should be focused on, especially when you talk about precedent.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What potential damages remain for Chance’s breach of fiduciary duty counterclaim against Pat, which still needs to be decided by a judge? </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This is why this case, I believe, is so important and precedential for third-party managers and agents: What you risk is a full forfeiture of the compensation you have been paid during the time that you were breaching your fiduciary duty. During that entire time, Chance paid Pat over $11 million pursuant to a handshake deal because he is a man of his word and he did honor his agreement. Chance even paid him almost half a million dollars after he was terminated. And so now what we have is a jury who has determined that he breached his contract with Chance, and we have a determination that he engaged in tortious conduct.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In Illinois, agents are fiduciaries. And so if during the entire time you were breaching your fiduciary duties to your principal and your artist, then that entire amount is at risk — so the over $11 million. It may seem harsh, but in the state of Illinois, that’s our public policy. But the judge gets to decide the extent and the time period he finds that he was breaching his fiduciary duties. It doesn’t have to be the entire period, even though that is what our position would be based on how the evidence came out at trial. The court will get to decide whether it’s everything, or whether it’s some smaller portion of the whole.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>On a more personal level, what was it like working with Chance as a client?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He is an incredible human being, and I am very impressed by his decision to stand on principle. Because being an independent artist means so much, and because it is so important that independent artists and artists across the board be protected, he was willing to stand on principle and fight back against something that he absolutely did not agree to. To stand up and say: Managers, you can’t retroactively try to insert complicated provisions into an agreement that were not agreed to. At his core, he believes in this. He’s spoken about how the industry has historically treated Black artists across the board. And so this was so important to him – it was correcting history. Just because you want to take something doesn’t mean you get to do it. He is a very impressive individual. I literally take my hat off to him for standing on principle for not only himself, but doing something that will have an impact on others who someday someone may take advantage [of]. We have someone who stood up, and now there’s precedent for saying that these things are wrong.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With globally recognized names like Stray Kids, Drake, The Weeknd and Bad Bunny rounding out the upper tiers of the chart, MGA (outside Japan, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/mrs-green-apple/">Mrs. GREEN APPLE</a> goes by MGA) stood out as the only Japanese act to appear, landing at No. 13.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the IFPI’s Global Album Chart, which ranks individual releases, Taylor Swift’s <em>The Life of a Showgirl</em> took No. 1, while MGA’s 10th-anniversary best-of album <em>10</em> landed at No. 10; the album also reached No. 19 on the Global Album Sales Chart and No. 11 on the Global Streaming Album Chart, underscoring the band’s strength across both sales and streaming.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>10 </em>is packed with MGA’s recent hits, including “Lilac,” which topped Billboard Japan’s 2025 year-end song chart; “Darling,” which brought the band its third consecutive Grand Prix of Japan’s most famous music prize; and “Dance Hall,” whose music video went viral for its elaborate choreography. It recorded the highest first-week sales for a band in Billboard Japan history and has since surpassed one million copies sold. The group’s total streaming count in Japan has exceeded 16 billion plays, with multiple songs maintaining long runs on the charts.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	MGA formed in 2013 and made their major-label debut on Universal Music Japan in 2015. From the beginning, listeners have been drawn to the quality of their songwriting, the power of their live performances, the extraordinary vocal ability of frontman Motoki Ohmori (vocals/guitar), and lyrics that speak directly to the human experience. The band has pushed well beyond the boundaries of conventional rock act, incorporating dance into their performances, staging theatrical concert productions, and pursuing individual careers such as hosting and acting. Alongside this, their dynamic fan club evolved into a massive platform that goes beyond a simple membership service, shaping how they manage scale, scarcity, and communication, while offering fans early access to announcements and a closer connection to the band’s evolving vision. With a primetime television variety program hosted by the band members themselves launched in April, MGA has grown into a pop icon that transcends music fandom — they are now a household name across generations in Japan.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Each of the three members brings a distinct personality to the group. Motoki Ohmori serves as the band’s all-encompassing producer, overseeing songwriting, composition, arrangement, and visual direction, and has topped Billboard Japan’s Top Composers and Lyricists charts for three consecutive years. Widely acclaimed for his exceptional expressive power as a vocalist, he has also expanded into acting. Guitarist Hiloto Wakai brings the technical skill to realize the band’s intricate sound, earning attention for his playing and broader activities across music and media. Keyboardist Ryoka Fujisawa adds a distinct sonic character through his versatile musicianship, occasionally contributing on flute, helping shape the mood and texture of MGA’s music.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	2025 was the year MGA sprinted through their 10th anniversary under the banner “MGA MAGICAL 10 YEARS,” with months of releases and live events building into their largest-ever five-dome tour, “BABEL no TOH,” which drew approximately 550,000 attendees across 12 dates. Despite the scale, tickets were nearly impossible to secure, reinforcing their reputation as one of Japan’s most in-demand live acts, with a concert film also announced.</p>

	This year, the band opened January with “lulu.,” the opening theme for Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2, an anime with a strong following across Asia, North America, and Europe.<strong> </strong>April brings the start of a six-date stadium tour including four nights at one of Japan’s largest venues, MUFG Stadium in Tokyo. Of these, four shows were exclusive to fan club members, marking a first-ever achievement at the venue.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As their latest release, MGA provides the theme song “Kaze to Machi” for NHK’s new morning drama <em>Kaze, Kaoru</em>, a major national TV slot, following Ohmori’s appearance in last year’s installment <em>Anpan</em>. Written during that time, the track has been described by the show’s chief producer Takehiro Matsuzono as “a song that conveys the things that matter and never change, even as eras shift and relationships and environments evolve.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	New music, stadium shows, and the first original full-length album in roughly three years arriving in the fall — MGA is hitting this next chapter at full speed, and all eyes are on what comes next.</p>

	When they’re not busy releasing music, fan-favorite K-pop superstars BTS are keeping themselves busy by venturing into the world of snacks and beverages.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/bts-surprise-songs-arirang-tour-every-track/">world tour underway</a> and the release of their <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/bts-arirang-all-14-tracks-ranked/">latest album, the Billboard 200-topping <em>ARIRANG</em></a>, BTS are now shaking up the culinary world with ARIH, a food and beverage brand <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/256585/565706/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fbrand%2Farih%2F20048929&subId1=BB">available nationwide at Walmart</a>. The brand was developed with help from your favorite idols and aims to bring traditional South Korean flavors to a Western audience. The new line includes soup-less noodles called Modern Noodles in packages and cups for on-the-go slurping, along with uniquely flavored dual-biotic sodas and postbiotic energy drinks.</p>

	The members’ input was incorporated into the brand name, flavors and package design, culminating in a line that we’re sure ARMY will love. In a press release sent to <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-on-ear-headphones-1236201877/">ShopBillboard</a></em>, the members of BTS shared their favorite flavors from the line.

RM is said to like the Gochujang Butter flavor, which is a mix of dairy and the savory-sweet tang of gochujang, which is fermented pepper paste used in lots of traditional South Korean dishes.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jimin likes the Vongole style, a riff on a classic Italian dish that features clams steamed with garlic and olive oil, while V enjoys the Truffle Bulgogi and Soy Sauce Butter flavors. If you didn’t know, bulgogi is a thinly sliced beef marinated in a sweet and savory sauce. These noodles can be prepared in a microwave for convenience or boiled in a pot. The choice is yours. </p>

These drinks are said to provide steady focus without a caffeine crash. They are lightly carbonated and supposedly good for your gut health, hence the postbiotic claim.

There are seven flavors available as of now.</p>

	<em><strong>UPDATE:</strong> On Wednesday (April 22), Taylor Momsen shared on update on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXaZj9WjoWh/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, confirming that the spider that bit her on tour last week was a brown recluse. “NYC … So happy to be home for a minute…need a good book while my leg continues to heal…a week or two and I should be fine,” Momsen said in the caption of a photo taken outside New York’s Strand Bookstore. “Thanks to everyone for your concerns. Brown Recluse bites are no joke.”</em></p>

	PREVIOUSLY (April 15): Taylor Momsen knows the show must go on, even when dangerous spider venom is wreaking havoc on your body. The <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-pretty-reckless/">Pretty Reckless</a> singer and <em>Gossip Girl</em> alum gave fans a health update on Tuesday (April 14) in the wake of the nasty arachnid bite she recently suffered while on tour opening for AC/DC in South America.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Hospital today, show tomorrow,” Momsen, 32, wrote in an <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXIYYVCDn3u/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">Instagram post</a> in which she included a selfie showing off her mottled right leg and a close-up of the aftermath of the nip from an unspecified creature, which left her with angry red splotches up and down her shin and a nasty-looking bite mark just above her ankle.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“But the show must go on, see you tomorrow Mexico City!” she added along with three Mexican flag emoji and a pair of lightning bolts. The singer followed up on Wednesday morning (April 15) with a pair of hospital snaps in which she looked worse for the wear, after having to stay overnight for treatment. “Or I spend the night in the hospital,” she wrote alongside a picture of her wearing a black surgical mask and a white hospital gown while laying on a gurney and holding a bag of ice to her forehead. “Thank you to the amazing doctors who, well, they know [three heart emoji].” She signed off with three spider and three thumbs down emoji.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In an accompanying video, Momsen filmed herself being rolled through the unnamed hospital’s corridors with surgical booties on her feet and her rashy leg outlined in blue surgical marker.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The seeming turn for the worse came after Momsen said she was doing “f–king fine” in a backstage video before her band’s opening slot for AC/DC at Estadio GNP Seguros stadium in Mexico City on Saturday (April 11), laughing at the nod to lyrics from the recent Pretty Reckless single “When I Wake Up”.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When I wake up … with a spider in the bed,” she said with a smile in a video to a post titled “<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXAPDNeNBmi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">AC/DC TONIGHT! I’M DOING FINE!</a>” She followed up with a clip of the band on stage at the weekend show, writing, “MEXICO CITY NIGHT 2 <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXGelnIOSo5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">Can’t wait for Wednesday!</a>“</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The bite that landed Momsen in the hospital took place more than a week ago, with the singer keeping up her graveyard humor at the time, writing, “When do my superpowers kick in? That’s what I want to know,” alongside an image of a doctor cleaning the wound while another member of the medical team gave her a shot in her left arm. To date, Momsen has not shared what kind of spider bit her.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the caption to that post, Momsen noted that this isn’t her first time getting bitten whole on tour with AC/DC. “]]> </content:encoded>

	Back in September of last year, Uchis <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kali-uchis-d4vd-collab-crashing-taken-down-1236069800/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kali-uchis-d4vd-collab-crashing-taken-down-1236069800/">told fans</a> on Instagram that she and her team were working to get their song “Crashing” removed after news broke that <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/d4vd-car-body-trunk-identified-15-year-old-girl-1236068479/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/d4vd-car-body-trunk-identified-15-year-old-girl-1236068479/">the body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas</a> was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to D4vd. “Not my friend i did a song with him which is currently in the process of being taken down given today’s disturbing news,” she told the fan that attempted to call her out about her connection to the singer. Also in September, figure-skating champion Alysa Liu <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/world-champion-figure-skater-removes-d4vd-song-from-routine-amidst-singers-criminal-investigation/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">announced</a> that she was removing the Laufey/D4vd collab “This Is How It Feels” from her short form routine following the news of Rivas’ body being discovered.</p>

	D4vd (real name: David Anthony Burke) was taken into custody last week and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/d4vd-charged-first-degree-murder-celeste-rivas-hernandez/">charged with the first degree murder of Rivas</a>, with authorities alleging that the teen threatened to expose their inappropriate sexual relationship just as his music career was starting to take off.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When she threatened to expose his criminal conduct and devastate his musical career, Burke allegedly murdered her, cut up her body and stuffed her body in two bags that were placed in the front trunk of his car,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a press release. “This horrific and gruesome murder committed by the charged sexual predator is shocking and appalling.

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/d4vd/">D4vd</a>, the 21-year-old pop singer made famous by his 2022 hit “Romantic Homicide,” is facing first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing and dismembering the body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors claim the musician, born David Anthony Burke, was having an illegal sexual relationship with the teenager and murdered her after she “threatened to expose his criminal conduct and devastate his musical career.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office alleges the murder occurred on April 23, 2025 — just two days before the release of D4vd’s debut album, <em>Withered</em>, which opened at No. 13 on the Billboard 200. Months later, police discovered Rivas’ decomposed and dismembered body in an impounded Tesla registered to D4vd.</p>

	D4vd has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his attorneys say they will “vigorously defend” him in court. “Let us be clear,” said the singer’s lawyers in a statement following his arrest, “the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The case has already had swift consequences for D4vd’s career. After Rivas’ body was discovered, his headlining <em>Withered </em>tour was cut short, and a deluxe version of the album got shelved. He was then <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/d4vd-no-longer-signed-sony-music-the-team-murder-arrest/">dropped</a> by Darkroom/Interscope Records, Sony Music Publishing and The·Team (formerly Wasserman).</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Spotify is in the early stages of giving artists a tool to disclose how generative AI was used in the creation of their music. The new tool started rolling out this month in beta, first to Distrokid users, and it will continue to become available for other distributors in the coming weeks. The rollout is part of what was first promised in September 2025 as part of a Spotify <a rel="nofollow" href="https://newsroom.spotify.com/2025-09-25/spotify-strengthens-ai-protections/" target="_blank">blog post</a> titled, “Spotify Strengthens AI Protections for Artists, Songwriters and Producers,” which detailed a number of ways the company would be improving its response to the rise of AI-generated songs.</p>









<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That blog post has been recently updated to note that now, “where artists have chosen to disclose through their label or distributor, you’ll see credits for specific contributions like vocals, lyrics, or production in Song Credits on mobile” and that this is “a first step in [Spotify’s] long-term commitment to transparency.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It goes on to explain that “because [Spotify] depend[s] on artist disclosure, the absence of a credit doesn’t mean AI wasn’t used. Not all distributors enable artists to disclose yet, but we intend to expand this more broadly over time,” adding, “we know this isn’t a complete solution on its own.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Those who elect to use the new tool can explain exactly how AI was used in the creation of their song. This includes whether it was used in production, composition or even individual instrument parts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Since January 2025, a number of streaming services have started experimenting with tags and disclosures for songs that contain AI elements. French streaming service Deezer, for example, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/deezer-ai-detection-tool-10-percent-music-tracks-ai-generated/">uses a proprietary AI detection tool </a>to scan for 100% AI-generated content and automatically applies a tag to those tracks. In March, Apple Music launched <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/apple-music-introduces-ai-song-tagging/">“Transparency Tags” as a “delivery requirement”</a> for labels and distributors, including AI use in a sound recording, composition, artwork or music video.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Spotify’s post says that adding this disclosure within song credits will be made available as it continues to try to reach “industry-wide alignment” to build out a “truly comprehensive system” for labelling AI use across all streaming services. According to the original blog post, this system is being developed through DDEX (Digital Data Exchange), which is an international standards-setting organization for music metadata.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a September episode of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJAwPTxmIFo&source_ve_path=NzY3NTg&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2F" target="_blank"><em>Billboard</em>‘s<em> On the Record </em>podcast</a>, Spotify’s global head of marketing and policy, music business, <strong>Sam Duboff</strong>, said that “the starting point has to be shared language through the existing supply chain of music about what the formatting of that will be.” He pointed to the rise of artists, songwriters and producers who are increasingly using AI in the creative process, like<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/brenda-lee/"> Brenda Lee</a> to create a Spanish version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” or a <em>K-Pop Demon Hunters </em>songwriter who talked about brainstorming lyrics with ChatGPT, and how this system could create more transparency for fans.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s early days for AI tech,” Duboff continued. “I know it feels like it’s moving fast, but consumption of AI-generated music’s insanely low. We have some time for artists, songwriters, producers to take the lead in figuring out how they want to use these tools. We don’t want to act like we know where AI music’s headed and exactly every policy and role we need to future-proof for the next two or three years. But also, we didn’t just want to wait and do nothing.”</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office publicly revealed the cause of death for 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez on Wednesday (April 22), six days after <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/d4vd/">D4vd</a> was charged with her murder.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to a press release from the medical examiner, Rivas’ cause of death was determined as “multiple penetrating injuries caused by object(s).” Her manner of death was ruled a homicide.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“After several months, I am grateful this information can now be released, not only to the public, but also to the grieving family enduring loss,” Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Odey Ukpo said in a statement. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Rivas’ decomposed partial remains were found in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to D4vd (real name: David Anthony Burke) in September after police responded to reports of a “foul odor” coming from the car in a Hollywood tow lot. They discovered two bags containing severed, decomposed body parts that were later identified as Rivas.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	D4vd was arrested on April 16. On Monday, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman revealed the rapper was charged with first-degree murder in Rivas’ death. Hochman’s office alleged in a press release that D4vd killed Rivas with a “sharp instrument” in a plot to protect his music career after Rivas threatened to reveal that the then-20-year-old had engaged in illegal sexual acts with her as a minor. D4vd was also charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and mutilating a body.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a statement shared with <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/dv4d-murder-charges-celeste-rivas-hernandez-body-found-tesla-hollywood/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRV2n5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoeWlBZ2laclhFUzJpMjFuc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHmw3v03UQMOWVAeqa5nsVQGcA1B5mMAfxH2YdqnWiA3VU5I6eFtrGFXZHdII_aem_1ZJ0TXCA2B4hM2vGifrKgQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CBS News </a>and <a href="https://abc7.com/post/d4vd-arrested-family-celeste-rivas-hernandez-makes-first-public-statement-charged-teens-murder/18936636/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ABC</a> on Tuesday, Rivas’ family spoke out about her murder, thanking the Los Angeles Police Department and the District Attorney for their “hard work.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Celeste was a beautiful, strong girl who loved to sing and dance,” the family wrote. “We love her very much and she always told us that she loved us. We miss her deeply. All we want is justice for Celeste.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The live event giant announced Wednesday (April 22) that it discovered “scalpers with thousands of illegal tickets” to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/harry-styles/">Harry Styles</a>‘ upcoming 30-date residency at Madison Square Garden. In a statement posted to X, global president of Ticketmaster Saumil Mehta said the company caught scalpers using multiple accounts to buy tickets beyond pre-set limits and resell them at exorbitant prices for profit. In response, Ticketmaster canceled thousands of purchases, none of which it claims had been fans’, and is working with Styles’ tour to sell the tickets back to fans at original prices. The tickets that were refunded and are being resold were all originally priced under $130.</p>

	While some fans were happy to see that Ticketmaster reversed scalpers’ purchases and applauded Styles’ team for getting tickets into the hands of real fans, some were not as pleased with Ticketmaster. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This is just PR. Trust me,” posted one<a href="https://x.com/swiftieswanttix/status/2047096285493146087?s=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Taylor Swift fan</a> in response. “They don’t actually give a f— about us and that is very evident in the way they treated the Eras Tour.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Wow if only you wouldn’t make it so easy for scalpers to snatch up all the tickets you wouldn’t even have to tweet this rn,” wrote another.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	One artist voice decided to chime in on the situation: Jack Antonoff. The 13-time Grammy winner was clearly unimpressed with Ticketmaster’s claims when he responded to the company’s X post with a quote reply of his own.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You caught you?” Antonoff wrote, echoing the statements of some fans.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fans were happy to see a major artist calling out Ticketmaster — which, along with its parent company Live Nation, was recently<a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/live-nation-verdict-ticketmaster-loses-antitrust-trial/"> found liable </a>for violating federal and state antitrust laws.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Yes Jack,” <a href="https://x.com/CyberMonday/status/2047087125191889301?s=20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">one account replied</a> alongside a GIF of Leonardo DiCaprio clapping. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	From the baseball field to Sabrinawood, Geena Davis and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/madonna">Madonna</a> have reunited.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Thirty-four years after starring in <em>A League of Their Own</em> together, Davis and Madonna once again ended up on the same stage, this time at Coachella. The Queen of Pop and the Academy Award-winning actress were reunited when Sabrina Carpenter tapped them to make surprise appearances during her Coachella weekend 2 headlining set on Friday. Davis expressed her excitement over seeing her former co-star by sharing a new photo of the duo to Instagram on Wednesday (April 22). Of course, she referenced their film’s characters in the caption.</p>

	One fan won the comments section by writing of the photo: “I know there’s no crying in baseball but I’m literally crying.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Both Davis and Madonna played pretty significant roles in the second Sabrinawood — Carpenter’s performance inspired by a reimagined Hollywood. Davis, with dyed blonde hair and in the driver’s seat of a vintage car, portrayed an older version of the “Espresso” singer. While at a fictional drive-in movie theater, “Older Sabrina” delivered a monologue reflecting on how her niece never got to see her as the youthful musician she once was. (In a fitting reference, Carpenter’s weekend 1 older self was portrayed by Davis’ <em>Thelma & Louise</em> co-star Susan Sarandon.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Madonna’s role in Sabrinawood was very different from Davis’: The fellow blond diva took to the stage to perform the Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers “Like a Prayer” and “Vogue” and a yet-unreleased duet with Carpenter. The same day she hit the stage with the “Please Please Please” singer, Madonna released her new song “I Feel So Free,” the first taste of her upcoming album <em>Confessions II</em>.</p>

	<em>Confessions II </em>is a sequel to Madonna’s 2005 Billboard 200 No. 1 album <em>Confessions on a Dance Floor</em>. On top of being her first work in more than half a decade, the new record<em> </em>is also the singer’s first album since her return to Warner Records. The major label <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/madonna-return-warner-records-teases-2026-dance-album-1236069406/">announced in September</a> that Madonna would be coming back to where it all began after nearly two decades away. Warner Records became Madonna’s first label after she signed there in 1982. She remained with the label for the first 25 years of her career, during which she released 11 albums, including the original <em>Confessions</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a now-deleted Instagram post from September, the pop star celebrated her return to Warner Records and teased the new album, writing, “Almost 2 decades later — And it feels like home with Warner Records! Back to music, Back to the Dance Floor, Back to where it all began! COADF – Pt. 2 2026.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“COADF – Pt. 2” is now officially on the horizon. On April 17, Madonna made a surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella weekend 2 headlining set to perform “Vogue,” “Like a Prayer” and an unreleased duet with the “Espresso” singer. Following the surprise performance, Madonna released the first song from <em>Confessions II</em> at midnight on April 18.</p>

	“Forever” takes the penthouse from Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need,” which falls to No. 4 after a two-week reign. Between the former and present champ, Tone Stith’s “Fly” darts 7-2 to mount a challenge for the throne, while Kehlani’s former leader “Folded,” which ruled for two weeks in February-March, slips 2-3.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Before “Forever,” the Houston-based quartet led the Adult R&B Airplay ranking with “Only Human.” Their reimagining of the 1990 <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jeffrey-osborne/">Jeffrey Osborne</a> hit <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/sentury-only-human-cover-number-1-adult-rb-airplay-chart-1236033320/">topped the list</a> for one week in August 2025. While Osborne’s original predates the Adult R&B Airplay chart, which launched in September 1993, it reached No. 3 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/r-b-hip-hop-songs/">Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs</a> chart in January 1991.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Forever” required an extensive journey to the top spot, reaching the apex in its 30th week on the chart. It thus becomes only one of 13 songs in the 32-year history of Adult R&B Airplay to need at least that much time to reach No. 1, joining, among others, “Only Human,” which completed a 34-week march to the summit. The record overall remains with Snoh Aalegra’s “I Want You Around,” at 41 weeks.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Elsewhere, “Forever” climbs 27-26 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-r-and-b-hip-hop-airplay/">R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay</a> chart, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio stations. There, it improved to 3.5 million in audience, up 7% from the prior week’s total.</p>

	After spending three days in the desert at weekend one of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/coachella-2026-day-two-best-pinkpantheress-jack-white/">Coachella 2026</a>, standing at sets in the blazing hot sun, I’d always find my way back to that familiar Heineken green hue.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Once a mirage from a distance, I followed throngs of crowds to the brand’s Heineken House to stop and breathe, refuel on water and cold beer (<a href="https://doordash.7zd4df.net/c/256585/655830/10350?subId1=BB&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.doordash.com%2Fproducts%2Fheineken-silver-lager-slim-cans-12-fl-oz-x-12-ct%2Furpc_cff783e1-f2f1-449b-a87e-4af7ca444c11%3Fbusiness_id%3D12676623%26gad_campaignid%3D19547625598%26gad_source%3D1%26gbraid%3D0AAAAADemgEvgmD6eLmwYoItHVzGQQKhiW%26gclid%3DCjwKCAjwwJzPBhBREiwAJfHRnRB6kKEMtepuyKytKKAJoPSHHNP1K-6W4DBppl-hK9-HHWHqLdpy1BoC8IwQAvD_BwE%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26ms_id%3D00072890006677%26region_id%3D27843136%26utm_adgroup_id%3D%26utm_campaign%3DCX_US_SE_LP_GO_NVT_CUSXXX_20560066794_ALCOHO_PL_TOT_ALCHL_ALCOHOLPMXXXX_EVG_ROAS_XXX_COUSA_EN_EN_X_DOOR_GO_SE_TXT_PerformMax%26utm_content%3D%26utm_creative_id%3D%26utm_keyword_id%3D%26utm_medium%3DPLA%26utm_source%3DGoogle%26utm_term%3D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">often their Silver offering</a>) and to test out the newly launched Clinker. The tech was unveiled on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/coachella-2026-day-three-best-young-thug-karol-g/">festival grounds</a> and used by Heineken House attendees and journalists like myself, slipped snugly around a can of beer as a sort of social experiment. The tech is unfortunately not available to the general public for now. </p>

	The Heineken-branded koozie-esque tech is a crescent shape that lights up three colors and can be synced up to your Spotify or Apple Music. Once you’ve made an account and synched up your preferred music streaming platform, you’re tasked with inputting a specific code found on your Clinker, along with those three colors mentioned. Once all that’s squared away, you’re good to start “clinking” with other Clinker users. Standing in a circle with my fellow journalists, we took turns <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://doordash.7zd4df.net/c/256585/655830/10350?subId1=BB&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.doordash.com%2Fproducts%2Fheineken-original-imported-premium-malt-lager-bottles-12-fl-oz-x-12-ct%2Furpc_7d16a05e-eb51-4e05-8584-0e430cbb0e23%3Fbusiness_id%3D434024%26gad_campaignid%3D19547625598%26gad_source%3D1%26gbraid%3D0AAAAADemgEvgmD6eLmwYoItHVzGQQKhiW%26gclid%3DCjwKCAjwwJzPBhBREiwAJfHRnb_fC14g-_om-UsMf1Eqg1y7z4D0BDTpes-ufBQJlPuoQjg-7fUsTRoCnKQQAvD_BwE%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26ms_id%3D191702%26region_id%3D1116915%26utm_adgroup_id%3D%26utm_campaign%3DCX_US_SE_LP_GO_NVT_CUSXXX_20560066794_ALCOHO_PL_TOT_ALCHL_ALCOHOLPMXXXX_EVG_ROAS_XXX_COUSA_EN_EN_X_DOOR_GO_SE_TXT_PerformMax%26utm_content%3D%26utm_creative_id%3D%26utm_keyword_id%3D%26utm_medium%3DPLA%26utm_source%3DGoogle%26utm_term%3D">clinking our beers</a> fitted with The Clinker, watching as the tech lit up sporadically.</p>

	After a few moments and a few sips later, I could see via my phone how compatible musically I was to the person I’d just clinked with via a percentage. The highest matchup I got was a 90% (shout-out to Gracie Farquhar from <em>Bustle</em>), thanks to a similar love of R&B, folk, electronic and rock. We shared a similar love for Harry Styles, Tame Impala, Charli xcx, Troye Sivan, Lily Allen and more. Just like that, my fellow Heineken drinkers and Coachella attendees had music to talk about. And talk we did.</p>

	Heineken House featured a smattering of musicians seen throughout the three days at the festival. Wale, Sean Paul, Motion City Soundtrack and Robin Schulz were some of the stars that performed on the Heineken stage nestled in the back of a large dancefloor. I was particularly hyped for Wale’s performance of “Lotus Flower Bomb,” a 2011 track that really informed my younger years. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/video/eric-nam-traitors-how-fire-started-interview-hibachi/">Former K-pop idol Eric Nam</a>, Taylor Zakhar Perez, D’Angelo Russell, Ashby Gentry and Keith Powers were also seen at the brand’s little oasis, testing out The Clinker for themselves.</p>

	“The Clinker reinforces Heineken’s 23-year legacy as a festival sponsor that champions fan connection at Coachella,” said chief marketing officer Heineken USA Alison Payne in a statement from the brand. “We are proud that The Clinker will make its debut at our legendary Heineken House footprint that delivers on magnetic and rewarding social energy. From day one, our goal has been to open doors for fans to join in and make connections over Heineken. This year’s addition of The Clinker – along with our other various experiences and our signature epic lineup – will help us show that at Coachella, fans really have more friends at Heineken House.”</p>

	“This track is arriving in an atmosphere of chaos,” said Massive Attack in its own statement. “Across the western hemisphere, state authoritarianism and the militarisation of police forces are fusing again with neo-fascist politics. Seen within the American emergency, at home and overseas, this track contains pulses of callous impulse & abandoned mind.” <em>— Chris Eggertsen</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Last Christmas Eve, Cuban newcomers Ya Ice Dilan, Rey Tony and Helabusador dropped “Dichavate” — a reparto song that has made <em>Billboard</em> history in the top five of two charts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Though it’s typically not advisable for independent artists who are looking for traction to release music during the holidays, the cheeky and catchy song quickly picked up speed on social media, becoming one of the most viral songs today. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Everything happened very quickly. We didn’t have the opportunity to run advertising campaigns on Spotify or YouTube due to the explicit lyrics…we tried, but we couldn’t,” Helabusador tells <em>Billboard</em>. “We didn’t even have the chance to invest in the song. It was simply uploading the music video on YouTube and releasing it two weeks later on Spotify.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yet, with no official promotion strategy, “Dichavate” makes history on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/genre/hits-of-the-world/">Billboard Hits of the World Charts,</a> peaking at No. 1 on Peru Songs dated March 21 (currently it stands at No. 2) and a No. 5 high on Spain Songs dated April 18.  The bop is the first reparto song to hit Top 5 on both charts that launched in 2022 and are based on streaming and sales activity from within the country, as tracked by Luminate. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Produced by DJ Honda and released by JipMusic Global, “Dichavate” — which is Cuban slang for “take a risk” or “be daring” — has captivated with its provocative lyrics referencing the “best partner in bed” anyone has had. “<em>Dichavate, dejame saber si en verdad yo te gusto</em>” (I dare you to let me know if you truly like me), says the opening lyric, before going into a more direct and NSFW confessional in the chorus.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Backed by a bass, piano and the claves (key instrumentation in the reparto genre that fuses urban music with traditional Cuban sounds including son, timba, and rumba), the song and its music video were recorded between Miami and Cuba. </p>

<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Today — thanks to Cuban influencers such as Samantha Hernandez, who created the social dance in early January, and Anthony Vila, a former delivery man whose “<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-id="https://www.tiktok.com/@anthony_botaaaa/video/7595662725020126478?_r=1&_t=ZT-95jDp08M5OQ" target="_blank" data-type="link" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@anthony_botaaaa/video/7595662725020126478?_r=1&_t=ZT-95jDp08M5OQ">Bota Compota</a>” phrase propelled the song’s virality — the trend has gone beyond just its supportive Cuban community. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bad Gyal has performed the song inonher current tour; Beéle’s famed choreographer Baby Fox has jumped on the trend; Former CNCO members Erick Brian and Christopher Velez have as well; and Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios expressed she’s “<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sheynnispalacios/video/7624335176704789774">obsessed</a>” with the track. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“For me, it was the energy we had in the studio,” Rey Tony says. “I’m not sure if it was the beat, but back in Cuba, it just really took off. That first week [of release in December] was absolute madness—it felt completely natural. The whole backstory behind the song was completely organic.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Within our own genre, this represents a completely different style. It is very international—we draw upon that foundation in order to operate. We studied the sound, we incorporated our own slang, and I wanted to add a distinct vocal quality,” Helabusador adds. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He concludes: “It’s a song that — if you’re sad, it serves you in your sadness; if you’re happy, it serves you in your happiness. It is a very emotional song. It has something that connects. The song has magic.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As the latest musician to stop by NPR’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., the folk-rocker played four songs total for the crowd gathered in the office space, two of which were unreleased tracks from upcoming new album <em>The Great Divide</em>. One of them, “American Cars,” kicked off the setlist, with Kahan singing as his rootsy band jammed out behind him, “Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A/ Didn’t know you drove American cars/ Ray-Bans on your face, you’ve been drivin’ all day/ But you’re here and we’re so grateful you are.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He went on to play his new album’s lead single and title track, “The Great Divide” — which reached No. 6 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard Hot 100 </a>in February — and “Orange Juice” from his 2022 breakout album, <em>Stick Season</em>. “Um, obviously I’m stressed,” he told the crowd candidly at one point. “I’m sweating deeply. I have makeup on. It’s getting in my eyes. It’s awful, but we’re so honored to be here.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kahan closed out with another unreleased track titled “Paid Time Off.” “And your love is like an open flame/ But you’re a running car and I’m a closed garagе,” he sang. “Someone once told us thеre’s a world out there/ But we don’t care enough to drive that far.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He also told viewers, “The songs are really sad … so thank you guys for keeping your smiles on your faces.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The little item I’m leaving is my Lexapro for you guys — I figured we can treat it like a take one, leave one penny system,” Kahan joked, continuing the tradition of <em>Tiny Desk </em>performers marking their appearance by adding a personal knickknack to NPR’s overflowing shelves. “Ten milligrams. Severe side effects.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The performance comes three days ahead of the release of <em>The Great Divide </em>on Friday (April 24). Leading up to the album, Kahan also announced a stadium tour and dropped a documentary that partly focused on his journey with mental health.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But despite everything he’s got going on, <em>Tiny Desk </em>might take the cake for him. “I’ve wanted to do tiny desk since I knew it existed,” he wrote on his Instagram Story after the episode dropped. “For some reason I just thought I never would. But here we are … this immediately becomes a life highlight.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Alan Osmond, the eldest singing member of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-osmonds/">The Osmonds</a> family singing group has died at 76. The family announced the news to <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ksltv.com/local-news/alan-osmond-dies-at-76/802724/">KSL TV 5</a> in the group’s native state of Utah, with no cause of death revealed at press time. The family revealed that Osmond died on Monday (April 20), surrounded by his wife Suzanne and their eight sons.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Osmond — who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 — and his nine siblings grew up as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ogden, Utah, getting their start in music singing in their church choir. At age nine, he started a barbershop quartet with brothers Wayne, Merrill and Jay in 1958, with the squeaky clean group quickly picking up gigs at Disneyland in L.A. and frequent guest spots NBC’s <em>The Andy Williams Show</em> variety hour from 1962-1967. Alan, referred to as “No. 1” by his younger brothers, took up the mantle as the group’s leader, with the family band originally forming as a way to raise money for hearing aids for their hearing impaired older brothers, Virl and Tom Osmond.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 1963, the brothers were joined by younger sibling and future break-out star Donny, then six-years-old, who made his debut on the <em>Williams Show</em>, turning the quartet into a quintet. A few years later, their youngest brother, Jimmy, joined the band as well.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Osmonds, who were known as “one-take Osmonds” for their efficiency, precision and constant rehearsing, moved on to <em>The Jerry Lewis Show</em> from 1967-1969 and slowly morphed from a vocal group to a pop/rock group, signing to MGM Records and recording at the famed Muscle Shoals studio in Alabama. It was there they recorded their only No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit, 1971’s Jackson 5-esque bubblegum pop bop “One Bad Apple.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The legendarily clean-cut, family-friendly band followed up with the more R&B-leaning, horn-spiked “Yo Yo” (1971, No. 3 on Hot 100), “Down By the Lazy River” (1972, No. 4), the lush ballad “Love Me For a Reason” (1974, No. 10) and the rocking “Crazy Horses” (1972, No. 14), which were among the 13 songs the group landed on the Hot 100. They released more than a dozen albums form 1968 through their swan song, 1984’s <em>One Way Rider</em>, four of which landed in the top 20 on the Billboard 200 album chart: 1972’s <em>Phase III</em> (No. 10), 1972’s <em>The Osmonds “Live”</em> (No. 13), 1971’s <em>Osmonds</em> (No. 14) and 1972’s <em>Crazy Horses</em> (No. 14). The group also charted nine other records on the Billboard 200 during their run.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Alan Ralph Osmond was born on June 22, 1949 in Ogden, Utah. He married Suzanne Pinegar, a BYU cheerleader, in 1974 and they had eight sons. In 1980, Alan and brother Merrill founded the Stadium of Fire in Provo, Utah, which now regularly hosts one of the biggest Fourth of July celebrations in the country.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Donny Osmond paid tribute to his brother in a <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXZZlRHjra6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">loving Instagram post</a> on Tuesday (April 21) that featured one of the earliest black and white pictures of the pair as children. “Even back then, you can see that he had his arm around me, watching over me. That’s who he was. My protector. My guide. The one who quietly carried so much responsibility so the rest of us could shine,” Donny wrote. “Alan was our leader in every sense of the word. His tireless work helped build everything we became. I will always be grateful for the sacrifices he made and the love he showed — not just to me, but to every member of our family.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Donny added, “I owe him more than I can ever fully express. I love you, Alan. Thank you for always being there for me. Till we meet again.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Alan, who in addition to singing and playing rhythm guitar was also a producer on the ABC variety program the <em>Donny & Marie Show</em> (1976-1979) and a key songwriter and producer of the family band, retired from performing in 1987 following his MS diagnosis. The singer and his family were also key players behind the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon, which raised more than $2 billion for children’s hospitals in the U.S. He also helped found the One Heart Foundation, which provided support to orphans.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to the <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.sltrib.com/artsliving/2026/04/21/alan-osmond-singer-musician/">Salt Lake Tribune</a></em>, Alan’s final public performance was in 2019, when he appeared alongside Merrill, Wayne and Jay on <em>The Talk</em> for sister Marie’s 60th birthday.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Three years ago, if you asked someone if they would ever expect a wrestler to be a guest on <em>The Joe Budden Podcast, New Rory ‘N Mal, </em>or <em>Club 520</em>,<em> </em>they would probably look at you bewildered. Fast forward to now, the company is larger than life, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. If you aren’t creating content involving the WWE, you are behind the eight ball.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That feels good,” former WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill told <em>Billboard</em> about the visibility the company has gained via premier, hip-hop-leaning podcasts. “A lot of the podcasts I’ve been doing recently are successful Black podcasts. I want to put on for the culture — and, more than anything, I really want to have more of a Black fanbase in wrestling. We’re there, but we can be so much bigger. I believe anything that we put our hands on turns to gold.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There are multiple reasons that people who normally would not discuss wrestling now share their takes on the sport, attend the live events, and even invite the superstars onto their shows for interviews. There was the undeniable Roman Reigns title run from 2020 to 2024, which included his dominant Bloodline faction, the ascension of current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and the return of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Many fans cite that storyline as the thing that brought them back to the product. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Business-wise, Endeavor Group Holdings acquired the WWE in 2023 and merged it with the UFC to form a new parent company, TKO. Last year, the WWE also unveiled a partnership with ESPN to broadcast its premium live events. And, arguably most importantly, they struck an additional deal with streaming titan Netflix, where <em>Monday Night RAW</em> is broadcast live in the United States, and all WWE programming can be found globally. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Netflix hasn’t stopped at just hosting the once-longest-running episodic television show, though. The entertainment brand has fully immersed itself in the WWE ecosystem, and helped to further bridge the gap between the squared circle and hip-hop, which already had an ongoing relationship. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In recent years, Drake appeared at Elimination Chamber, Lil Wayne performed at Wrestlemania, and Travis Scott played a significant in-ring role in the storyline involving Cody Rhodes, John Cena and The Rock. Thanks to Netflix, on any given Monday, one can find Killer Mike, Lil Baby, Bun B, Metro Boomin, Quavo and countless other hip-hop figures sitting ringside watching superstars go to war. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lil Yachty, who has also made several appearances at shows, took things a step further by joining new WWE United States Champion Trick Williams on-screen and helping him win the title from Sami Zayn this past weekend at Wrestlemania. “It was mutual,” Williams said of his new allegiance with the Atlanta rapper. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Yachty’s been around for a while. Obviously, he loves the product, and he wants everybody to know that. He ain’t no celebrity promoting nothing – he wants to be down with WWE. I’ve known Yachty for a couple [of] years now, and they asked me how I would feel about doing something with him. It was a no-brainer. He wanted to work with Trick, Trick wanted to work with Yachty, and we got gold.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This duo may not be stopping at just in-ring activity, either. “Who knows man? Maybe we’ll put out a whole album,” The Anointed One said when asked about possibly getting in the booth with the Solo Steppin’ Crete Boy. “I think people want to see what Trick and Boat got to say.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Netflix upped the ante in bringing these two spheres together this past Monday (April 20) ahead of the highly-touted <em>Raw After Mania</em>. Their Brunch, Beats & Bodyslams event was hosted at LIV Beach Club in the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, including a “Who’s Who” of WWE superstars, artists, celebrities, and media. <em>Club 520</em> brought their unhinged humor to the forefront with a live podcast featuring Cargill, Je’Von Evans, and comedian Lou Young.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	New York hip-hop veterans Fabolous, Jim Jones, Maino and Dave East, hosts of the <em>Let’s Rap About It</em> podcast, camped out in a villa overlooking the entire event and reminisced on where their wrestling fandom began. Loso, in particular, wanted to set the record straight on the long-discussed rap battle between himself and John Cena, which was allegedly supposed to happen at Wrestlemania 19 in 2003. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I remember somebody reached out about it, but I didn’t really take it seriously. I think that’s why [John] went on to Wrestlemania and called me out,” the Brooklyn rapper said. “I didn’t even think it was a real thing. In that time, I wasn’t an avid wrestling fan or paying attention to that world. What’s crazy, is I had my son in 2008, and eight to nine years after that, he started liking wrestling. So it got me back into it.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fab was recently highlighted during <em>RAW</em> at Madison Square Garden, and called it a full-circle moment. “I grew up as a kid watching wrestling. The Hulk Hogan, [Macho Man Randy Savage], The Ultimate Warrior era. Now I’m here,” he stated. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Being able to be at the shows [and] bring my son, it’s definitely something I look back on and say my career has led me into so many different worlds. It was a really cool thing.” Fab even said that if The Miz was looking for a new theme song, he’d be willing to do it, because he feels The Miz is “cool.” Surely, The Awesome One would be thrilled to hear that. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	His partners in podcasting echoed his sentiments regarding wrestlers they grew up watching. Jim Jones was enthused at the idea of managing a wrestler, and hand-picked The Rock as who he would love to advocate for. Dave East, known for his commitment to fitness, expressed his willingness to get into the ring one day and make a moment by taking down either Sting or Stone Cold Steve Austin. Maino, who’s recently gone viral for the memes generated from when he looks down at people through his glasses on <em>Let’s Rap About It</em>, may have created a new meme. He said that the wrestling version of himself was none other than the late great Rowdy Roddy Piper; Twitter, do your thing with that one. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It is difficult to forecast where the relationship between the WWE and Hip-Hop will go because so many of the recent major moments between the two have been unpredictable. One thing is for sure and two things are for certain; whatever happens next, Netflix will be at the core of it. As long as the WWE stays hot and Netflix continues to pour into the Hip-Hop community, the artists who have been longtime fans will be thrilled whenever they get the call to make history. Then, now, and forever. Together.</p>

As a diehard fan of the King of Pop, the Roots drummer was initially hesitant going into<em> </em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/how-to-get-tickets-2026-michael-movie-online-1236224331/"><em>Michael</em>,</a> but ended up enjoying how MJ was humanized throughout Antoine Fuqua’s film. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Honestly? I was hesitant. I’m emotionally invested, and I was holding my breath. But this project does the impossible: it strips away the spectacle and shows us the person,”<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXYSLbPjnJn/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=33eed40e-5fec-4151-9aaa-49d6c1d8eac0"> Questlove wrote to Instagram</a> on Monday night (April 20). “For the first time, we aren’t looking at the ‘THE KING’—we’re looking at a human being.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Oscar winner began intensely dissecting the film while picking apart timeline errors when it came to MJ’s decorated career, but eventually, as Questlove put it, he placed his “weapons down” because of how <em>Michael</em> captured Jackson’s soul.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s a side of him a lot of us seemed to forget after 1984. I’ll admit, as a diehard, I started out taking notes: ‘Wrong year,’ ‘Song wasn’t out yet,’ ‘He didn’t wear that jacket until…’ But I eventually put my weapons down,” he wrote. “Why? Because they captured the SOUL of it all & gave him back his humanity. If this is the final word on his legacy, showing his humanity was more important to me than any technical faux pas.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Directed by Antoine Fuqua, <em>Michael </em>hits theaters in the U.S. on Friday (April 24). The thought-provoking biopic follows the King of Pop from his days in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jackson-5">Jackson 5 </a>through the <em>Bad </em>album era, which topped the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> in 1987. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	MJ is played by his nephew, Jaafar Jackson, while the rest of the cast is rounded out by Kat Graham (Diana Ross), Miles Teller (John Branca), Colman Domingo (Joe Jackson), Nia Long (Katherine Jackson) and Kendrick Sampson (Quincy Jones). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perhaps Questlove’s most substantial cosign of <em>Michael</em> is that he’s planning to go to the theater “again and again” to see the buzzy biopic.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This film shows that the true path isn’t just about grinding; it’s about KNOWING that you know. It’s about knowing that you know. Channeling that feeling into reality. It’s the perfect setup for what’s coming in the Earth, Wind & Fire doc—a shift from the ‘struggle’ to the ‘manifestation.’ I’m going back to see it again. And again,” he concluded. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tim-mcgraw/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tim-mcgraw/">Tim McGraw</a> is set to return to acting, with a new role in the upcoming Hulu series <em>Southern Bastards</em>, <a href="https://deadline.com/2026/04/southern-bastards-hulu-pilot-tim-mcgraw-erin-kellyman-1236786470/" data-type="link" data-id="https://deadline.com/2026/04/southern-bastards-hulu-pilot-tim-mcgraw-erin-kellyman-1236786470/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a> to Deadline.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The project, which also stars Kevin Bacon and Erin Kellyman (<em>Eleanor The Great</em>), is based on the graphic novel series from Jason Aaron and Jason Latour. McGraw portrays the character Coach Boss, who leads the revered and winning Craw County High School football team in a small Alabama town. In the process, Boss has gained considerable power and influence in a Southern town where football is king.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The series puts McGraw into another football-centered film — he’s known for his work on previous sports-related films including 2004’s <em>Friday Night Lights</em> and 2009’s <em>The Blind Side</em> — but his character this time around seems to have a sinister side.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kellyman portrays Roberta, a former marine who comes to Craw County as she attempts to end patterns of familial trauma. In the process, Roberta discovers that Coach Boss also spearheads an organized crime ring. Meanwhile, Bacon portrays Earl, the son of a well-known Craw County Sheriff who holds a grudge against Boss over how Earl’s father died.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The <em>Southern Bastards</em> book series won the 2015 Harvey Award for best new series, and the 2016 Eisner Award for best continuing series.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyond his work on <em>The Blind Side</em> and <em>Friday Night Lights</em>, McGraw is known for his acting work in shows and films including <em>1883</em>, <em>Yellowstone</em> and <em>Tomorrowland</em>. McGraw was recently named as an inductee-elect to become a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame later this year. In July, he will launch his headlining Pawn Shop Guitar Tour and will welcome artists including The Chicks, 49 Winchester, Timothy Wayne and Lady A.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Spotify and the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) have struck a year-long partnership to help support independent live music venues across the U.S., it was announced on Wednesday (April 15). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The year-long program includes expanded visibility for independent venues on Spotify features, including venue pages and within the live events feed. This summer, a new playlist series titled The Independent Booker Spotlight will feature an independent booker selected by NIVA to create a playlist alongside Spotify’s editorial team. Spotify will also display the “Certified Live Independent” seal on venue pages.</p>

	“Independent venues are the heartbeat of live music,” <strong>Rene Volker</strong>, senior director of live music at Spotify, said in a statement. “They’re where artists take risks, build devoted communities, and where fans discover what they’ll love for the rest of their lives. This partnership with NIVA is about making sure Spotify’s platform, editorial, and product capabilities are working in direct service of that ecosystem. We’re here for the long game.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Stephen Parker</strong>, executive director of NIVA, said in a statement, “Independent stages are where every artist gets their start and where nearly 200 million fans a year experience the joy of music, comedy, and performance. NIVA’s Certified Live Independent is a seal that shows the sacrifices and ingenuity that goes into keeping their venue or festival independent. We’re grateful that Spotify is elevating that seal and independent stages on their platform to allow millions of fans to experience the magic of these spaces.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 2020, Spotify partnered with NIVA to roll out its annual Wrapped campaign on the marquees of venues shuttered due to the pandemic. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/spotify-wrapped-indie-venue-marquees/">The streaming giant donated</a> a total of $500,000 to the #SaveOurStages fund and the NIVA emergency relief fund.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In March 2025, Spotify launched its <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/spotify-playlists-users-top-artists-concerts/">Concerts Near You</a> personalized playlist, which updates weekly with 30 new tracks from artists performing near Spotify users based on their addresses. Last October, the streaming platform launched a feature allowing fans to follow their favorite concert venues on the app and updated its live events feed to refresh on a daily basis.</p>

	As part of the rollout, the company’s press release also notes that its established creator payment model will still compensate sample makers for any AI augmentations of their work, as well. Creators will be compensated each time their sound is used as a source and each time an AI-powered variation of it is downloaded.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The three new tools are described as follows:</p>



<div class="container // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Variations</strong>: A plugin that lets producers create new versions of any Splice sample, including changes to the structure, key, and BPM of the sound. </li>



<li><strong>Craft</strong>: A new feature in Splice INSTRUMENT that transforms samples into playable instruments.</li>



<li><strong>Magic Fit: </strong>A tool, coming in Summer 2026, that allows any Splice sound to match the harmonic and rhythmic context of a session.</li>
</ul>
</div>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	All tools are available via Splice’s Sounds and INSTRUMENT plugins in any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), like Ableton, Logic or ProTools. </p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	These tools, according to <strong>Alejandro Koretzky</strong>, the company’s vp of applied AI research, move Splice into the next generation of producer tools. “Our first generation of tools helped producers discover sounds. Now we’re making the catalog itself more adaptable and contextual so any sound can be transformed while still preserving its DNA.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	CEO <strong>Kakul Srivastava</strong> said in a statement, “Producers have always used samples as a foundation for new ideas; these tools extend that tradition, enabling sounds to be reshaped and reimagined. Grounded in deep, long-standing relationships with producers and sound creators, they reflect real creative workflows and reinforce the value of original work.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	News of these new tools arrives about five months after Splice announced a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/universal-music-ai-deal-splice/">new partnership</a> with Universal Music Group to collaborate on “commercial AI tools” and “AI-powered virtual instruments.” Srivastava also took the stage at HumanX in San Francisco last week with UMG’s Chief Digital Officer <strong>Michael Nash</strong> to share her thoughts on AI.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She described the partnership with UMG as containing three key points: “The first is working with Universal to really work out what’s the right way to train on the incredible catalog that UMG has,” she told the crowd. “So, we’re having some conversations around exploring how we do training the right way, as opposed to the wrong way…The second thing that we’re working on is, how do we bring some of the incredible artists that are part of the Universal Music Group’s portfolio to the seat at the table with us, to help us create novel experiences?… And then the third thing is, can we invent new ways for people to engage with music? There’s one thing that’s passive listening, there are more forward-looking things that users want to do with the music.”</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall"><p>The most famous group of the past year isn’t even a group at all. EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI are the singing voices behind HUNTR/X, the world-dominating (and demon-slaying) trio at the center of the animated Netflix blockbuster <em>KPop Demon Hunters.</em> But because they recorded their vocals separately, the three women had never even been in the same place at the same time until the film’s June 2025 release.</p>
<p>“We saw each other at the premiere, and we’re like, ‘Um, bye!’ ” EJAE recalls of spotting her “bandmates” in passing on the Los Angeles red carpet. “’Hope to connect with you soon!’ It was like that,” Audrey adds. “’Maybe we’ll cross paths again!’”</p>
<p>Before the film, all three were individual artists charting their own paths in music. EJAE (real name: Kim Eun-jae), 34, was born in Seoul and spent her childhood between South Korea and the United States, starting as a K-pop trainee with SM Entertainment at age 11 before shifting to songwriting and penning hits for some of the genre’s biggest girl groups, including Red Velvet, TWICE and aespa. REI (real name: Sarah Yeeun Lee), 30, was also born in Seoul and relocated stateside at age 7, kicking off her indie career in 2019, going viral with a feature on Sub Urban’s “Freak” in 2020 (her<em> Billboard</em> chart debut) and touring with Tinashe in 2021. Audrey (real name: Audrey Chu), 26, was born in New Jersey — a self-proclaimed “theater kid” who performed “America the Beautiful” at the U.S. Open tennis tournament at age 10 — and started releasing music in 2018, teaming up with Jack Harlow and DJ Snake for early singles (“Comic Sans” and “damn Right Pt. 2,” respectively) that showcased her singular flow.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-beatles/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-beatles/">The Beatles </a>were the biggest and most important act of the 1960s, but you’d never know it by looking at <em>Billboard</em>’s Easy Listening chart (now called <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/adult-contemporary/">Adult Contemporary</a>). Easy listening stations wanted to have a distinct identity from pop stations in the 1960s. Some artists did well in both formats, including Frank Sinatra, Petula Clark and Glen Campbell. But many artists fared much better on the Easy Listening chart than they did on the Hot 100. Among them: Jack Jones, Al Martino, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Vikki Carr, The Lettermen, Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Eddy Arnold, Jerry Vale and Ed Ames.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Even “Yesterday,” one of the most classic (and oft-recorded) ballads in music history, failed to crack the Easy Listening chart. The 1965 single logged four weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, but it went nowhere (man) on Easy Listening. Those adult-skewing stations were more inclined to play the schmaltzy “Red Roses for a Blue Lady,” which was a top 10 Easy Listening hit for three artists that year — Vic Dana, Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra and Wayne Newton.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Beatles didn’t crack the AC chart until November 1969, with <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/george-harrison/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/george-harrison/">George Harrison</a>’s ballad “Something,” which reached No. 17. That was a song so undeniable that genre GOAT <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/frank-sinatra/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/frank-sinatra/">Frank Sinatra</a> often introduced it in concert, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/beatles/comments/it2e8n/its_one_of_the_best_love_songs_i_believe_to_be/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.reddit.com/r/beatles/comments/it2e8n/its_one_of_the_best_love_songs_i_believe_to_be/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">as he did here</a>, by saying: “It’s one of the best love songs, I believe, to be written in 50 or 100 years.”</p>

	The Beatles finally broke through at AC in 1970, just as they were calling it quits. “Let It Be” logged four weeks at No. 1 that spring; “The Long and Winding Road” peaked at No. 2. In the 1970s, the gap between what pop and AC stations played narrowed considerably, as such acts as <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/carpenters/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/carpenters/">Carpenters</a> (whose first single was a ballad remake of the Beatles’ 1965 smash “Ticket to Ride”), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/neil-diamond/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/neil-diamond/">Neil Diamond</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-denver/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-denver/">John Denver</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-newton-john/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-newton-john/">Olivia Newton-John</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/helen-reddy/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/helen-reddy/">Helen Reddy</a> regularly climbed high on both charts. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bee-gees/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bee-gees/">Bee Gees</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/chicago/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/chicago/">Chicago</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/elton-john/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/elton-john/">Elton John</a>, who, like the Beatles a decade earlier, bridged pop and rock, became AC mainstays in the 1970s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	By 1976, when The Beatles’ 1966 track “Got To Get You Into My Life” was belatedly released as a single (to promote the then-current <em>Rock’n’ Roll Music </em>compilation), it made the top 10 on both the Hot 100 and the AC chart. Easy listening stations that wouldn’t even play an exquisite ballad like “Yesterday” in 1965 now hopped on a vibrant pop/rock track. AC radio had gotten hipper and more contemporary over the preceding 11 years, thanks in large to The Beatles and the generation of acts they influenced.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	All of the ex-Beatles except John Lennon have topped the AC chart on their own. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/paul-mccartney/">Paul McCartney</a> was the first to do so with “My Love,” which he recorded in 1973 with his band Wings. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ringo-starr/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ringo-starr/">Ringo Starr</a> scored in 1975 with a cover of The Platters’ 1955 classic “Only You.” Harrison made it in 1981 with “All Those Years Ago,” a tribute to the recently-slain <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-lennon/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-lennon/">John Lennon</a> which featured McCartney and Starr. Lennon’s highest-charting AC hit, “Woman,” reached No. 4 in 1981 following his death.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Billboard</em>‘s Gary Trust<a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/paul-mccartney-days-we-left-behind-debut-adult-contemporary-1236220158/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/paul-mccartney-days-we-left-behind-debut-adult-contemporary-1236220158/"> </a>reported on Friday (April 10) that “Paul McCartney has furthered his legacy on <em>Billboard</em>’s Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart as ‘Days We Left Behind’ debuts at No. 22 on the list dated April 18.”</p>

	That news item prompted a deep dive into The Beatles’ legacy on the AC chart, which originated in July 1961 as Easy Listening. (The name changed to Middle-Road singles and Pop-Standard Singles before reverting to Easy Listening in 1965. In 1969, it became Adult Contemporary, which has been the name ever since).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Even though no Beatles recordings made the top 10 on Easy Listening in the 1960s, five Beatles songs – songs the Fab Four had recorded – scored for other artists. We’re not including Mary Hopkin’s “Goodbye,” written by McCartney, but credited to Lennon/McCartney, because The Beatles never recorded it. The song, Hopkin’s follow-up to the smash “Those Were the Days” (which McCartney produced but did not write), reached No. 6 on the AC chart in 1969.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	More Beatles songs made the top 10 on the AC chart in the 1970s, after The Beatles disbanded in April of that year. They included <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/shirley-bassey/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/shirley-bassey/">Shirley Bassey</a>’s version of “Something” (No. 6 in 1970) and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/joan-baez/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/joan-baez/">Joan Baez</a>’s “Let It Be” (No. 5 in 1971).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Here are the five Beatles songs to make the top 10 on what is now called Adult Contemporary in the 1960s. These renditions show another side to the act you’ve known for all these years. All are credited to Lennon and McCartney except for “Something,” which was written by Harrison.</p>

	Billboard Women in Music 2026 Women of the Year EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI — the singing voices of HUNTR/X from <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> — sit down with <em>Billboard</em> to reflect on a record-breaking year. The trio talks about “Golden” surpassing 1 billion streams, becoming the most-watched Netflix movie in history, and what it means to make history as Asian-American women in the music industry.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	From their very first rehearsal ahead of <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em> to Lana Del Rey singing “Golden” at the Clive Davis Grammy party, the girls open up about imposter syndrome, immigrant roots, the power of representation, and why femininity is anything but delicate.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	AUDREY NUNA:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Women of the Year thing, like, I immediately just think about all the women who have come before us and have paved the road. Exactly. You know? Obviously in the music industry, but also like our ancestry and our lineage and, like the women who had to deal with so much bullsh– for us to be able to sit here today while my leg is falling asleep, you know? That is so. . . That’s everything to us. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	EJAE:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	To be recognized is incredibly awesome, especially as an Asian-American woman. Definitely feel honored. You know, it really means a lot since, you know, growing up I would always look at the <em>Billboard</em> charts and see what songs are up and what songs are popular.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	AUDREY NUNA:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s just been a really transformative experience to see this music affect so many people and see something that we’ve been a part of, that we’re blessed to be a part of, change peoples lives. That’s a really inspiring process. We’ve each been, you know, on our own journey in the music industry for so long. You eat sh– sometimes, you’re winning sometimes, you’re up and down. You don’t know what’s going on sometimes. And I think that this was such a moment of clarity for all three of us of like, yes, music has power to bring joy to the world. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	REI AMI:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But I think it reaffirmed a lot of beliefs that I’ve held throughout my career, which is one, you really don’t know anything at all. The way this project has landed at this point, it is, I’m in awe, my jaw is on the ground. I cannot believe this is where we’re at.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Keep watching for more!</em></p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/green-day">Green Day</a> are getting their own dedicated SiriusXM channel. The broadcaster announced the upcoming launch of the dedicated Green Day’s Idiot Nation on Wednesday morning (April 15), revealing that group members singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool created the channel “fueled by their lifelong obsession” with punk rock.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We’re absolutely stoked to have our very own channel on SiriusXM to share all the songs we love. The ones that made us pick up guitars, pile into vans, and chase something loud and real,” the band said in a statement about the channel slated to launch on April 20. “We’re digging into everything including bands we love, old Green Day demos, live tracks, deep cuts, and telling the stories behind it all. Come hang with us, and let it rip!”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The channel will be available to subscribers on channel 314 and anytime on the SiriusXM app and feature a bespoke mix of hand-selected tracks from the group, their inspirations and contemporary acts they love. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to a release, Idiot Nation will feature Green Day’s earliest demos, covers and live recordings, as well as their biggest, most beloved hits and “essential punk tracks spanning generations, from genre-defining pioneers to new noise from up-and-coming bands.” The band will also share their personal stories from the road and the recording studio, along with “firsthand insights into the artists and songs that influenced their journey.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition, drummer Cool will host the monthly “Ground Support” show, where he will talk about bands Green Day have toured with, as headliners and as fans, including music and behind-the-scenes stories from artists they’ve performed with. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Green Day has pushed rock music and culture forward for decades and continues to resonate with audiences around the world through their music and message,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM president and chief content officer in a statement. “We are thrilled to give Green Day the space to create a one-of-a-kind listening experience for fans that reflects their unique musical journey.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The band previously had a Green Day Radio pop-up channel in 2023-2024 tied to their <em>Saviors</em> album. With Idiot Nation, Green Day join a long roster of acts with their own dedicated spot on the SiriusXM dial, including Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull, Eminem, Bob Marley, Diplo, The Beatles, Pearl Jam, Phish, Grateful Dead, Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen, among others. </p>

	The most famous group of the past year isn’t even a group at all.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI are the singing voices behind <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/huntr-x/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HUNTR/X</a>, the world-dominating (and demon-slaying) trio at the center of the animated Netflix blockbuster <em>KPop Demon Hunters.</em> But because they recorded their vocals separately, the three women had never even been in the same place at the same time until the film’s June 2025 release.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We saw each other at the premiere, and we’re like, ‘Um, bye!’ ” EJAE recalls of spotting her “bandmates” in passing on the Los Angeles red carpet.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“ ‘Hope to connect with you soon!’ It was like that,” Audrey adds. “ ‘Maybe we’ll cross paths again!’ ”</p>

	Before the film, all three were individual artists charting their own paths in music. EJAE (real name: Kim Eun-jae), 34, was born in Seoul and spent her childhood between South Korea and the United States, starting as a K-pop trainee with SM Entertainment at age 11 before shifting to songwriting and penning hits for some of the genre’s biggest girl groups, including Red Velvet, TWICE and aespa. REI (real name: Sarah Yeeun Lee), 30, was also born in Seoul and relocated stateside at age 7, kicking off her indie career in 2019, going viral with a feature on Sub Urban’s “Freak” in 2020 (her<em> Billboard</em> chart debut) and touring with Tinashe in 2021. Audrey (real name: Audrey Chu), 26, was born in New Jersey — a self-proclaimed “theater kid” who performed “America the Beautiful” at the U.S. Open tennis tournament at age 10 — and started releasing music in 2018, teaming up with Jack Harlow and DJ Snake for early singles (“Comic Sans” and “damn Right Pt. 2,” respectively) that showcased her singular flow.</p>

	EJAE was the first to join the film, coming on in 2020 as a songwriter and vocal producer for the project before she was asked to stay on as the singing voice of HUNTR/X leader Rumi thanks to her impressive vocal demos. The trio was rounded out in 2024, when REI auditioned for and won the role of rapper-lyricist Zoey, and Audrey was suggested by an old friend, TheBlackLabel songwriter Danny Chung (who voices Baby Saja in the film’s rival boy band, Saja Boys), as main dancer Mira.</p>


		
		


<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I love the connection that people see between my solo stuff and the character of Mira,” Audrey says of the seemingly disparate sounds of her pre-<em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> career and the film’s music. “That’s one of the reasons why I truly think that this was all very destined, is the connection that I feel to her as a character: her tough exterior, but also I consider myself to be a really empathetic person and very sensitive person. So I just relate to her on a very spiritual level.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> became Netflix’s most-watched film ever just two months after its premiere, the three women leaned into the arranged marriage that had brought them together, choosing to embody their respective animated counterparts to perform live for a fan base hungry for more ­HUNTR/X. On Oct. 7, following the monumental success of the eight-week <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard Hot 100</a> No. 1 smash “Golden” — which made them the first female K-pop group to top the chart — the trio hit the <em>Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em> stage as a united front.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Remember when we first rehearsed together?” EJAE asks of their making-the-band moment prepping for <em>Fallon</em>. “We locked in and we were like, ‘You guys, we’re <em>actually </em>doing this!’ ”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Seeing the obvious love and familiarity between the three women during our chat — whether singing and giggling together before the interview or EJAE grabbing REI’s hand without hesitation when she starts tearing up during a response — it’s wild to realize their story as a group only started a few months ago with those <em>Fallon</em> rehearsals. “That was such a bonding time for us because of the fact that no one [else] in the world can relate to the things that have happened over the past seven months,” Audrey recalls. “That’s a really strong connection to have with someone who already has such a similar background as you. So those rehearsals were challenging in the best way. That challenge really forced us to grow our synergy, our trust, and in such a short period of time too.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Since that first performance, their appearances as a group have multiplied — and their accolades have piled up, including historic Academy and Grammy Award wins for “Golden,” which scores the film’s emotional climax and became an unlikely singalong anthem despite EJAE’s impossibly high vocals. The <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> album spent two weeks at No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a> and became the first soundtrack to have four hits simultaneously in the Hot 100 top 10, including HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done,” a swaggering counterpart to the earnest “Golden.” Beyond the charts, the fictional girl group even dominated Halloween, with Rumi, Zoey and Mira owning the top three spots on Google’s trending costumes of 2025.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But while this phenomenon has unfolded in less than a year, “It’s a very long journey to get to this point,” Audrey emphasizes. “Obviously the last seven months have been crazy for us, but this is a story that starts with our childhoods, of our parents moving here, immigrating to a new country, trying to follow a dream and provide and being an outcast in our own society, sometimes hiding our smelly-ass lunches, being asked why our eyes look a certain way in the line at school.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The members’ worlds have now expanded beyond the film. All three have signed major-label deals in the Universal Music Group family — EJAE at Universal Records and Audrey and REI at Republic — with solo music in the works. (WME represents EJAE and REI, while UTA reps Audrey.) They liken their managers (Nick Guilmette, Paula Park and Aaron Tropf represent EJAE, Audrey and REI, respectively) to the energetic agent Bobby voiced by Ken Jeong in <em>KPop Demon Hunters.</em> “I thank God for the amazing, supportive teams that we have beside us that protect us and guide us throughout these massive changes,” REI says, as Audrey chimes in: “Yes, our Bobbys! We love our Bobbys.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But before they disperse to make their own music again — albeit now with countless new fans — <em>Billboard</em>’s 2026 Women of the Year are looking back on how they managed to fly up, up, up into the pop culture stratosphere in a matter of mere months and seize their moment at the top.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>First off, congratulations on being named Women of the Year at <em>Billboard</em>’s Women in Music. What does this honor mean to you?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> It means so much, because growing up, I would always look at the <em>Billboard</em> charts to see what songs are up or what songs are popular. So to be recognized is incredibly awesome, especially as an Asian American woman. Definitely feel honored.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You three are in such a unique situation, because you’re individual artists who were brought together to represent this animated group. What have been the biggest changes in each of your lives since <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> came out last summer?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey Nuna:</strong> We are changed women. We’ve each been on our own journey in the music industry for so long, and you eat s–t sometimes, you’re winning sometimes — you’re up and down. And I think that this was such a moment of clarity for all three of us of, like, yes: Music has the power to bring joy to the world.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI AMI:</strong> It reaffirmed a lot of beliefs that I’ve held throughout my career, [like], you really don’t know anything at all. I mean, yes, I believed in this project, but the way this project has landed at this point, I’m in awe. My jaw is on the ground. So it just reminds me: You got to keep on going, keep showing up.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> The word that describes my life right now is “metamorphosis.” I am a songwriter who was very behind the scenes, so this is all very new. I’m learning as I go. And I just feel like I’ve been changing a lot. I surprise myself a lot. I have really bad stage fright, but I’ve been trying to overcome it and can’t believe I’m doing it. And honestly, I don’t think I’d be able to do it without these girls. They always help me prep myself, always saying, like, “You got this, <em>unnie</em> [“big sis” in Korean]!”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> She does!</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>It feels like a turning point came in October, when you started making public appearances and performing as a group. People were not just hearing your voices but seeing your faces. What was going out in public like after that?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> For me, it was so, like, thrown-in-the-cold-water kind of situation. I just didn’t know what to expect. It was very sudden. And I would be lying if I didn’t say it was overwhelming; it was quite overwhelming, but at the same time, super exciting.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> We were forced into a position where we had to acclimate in order to survive. I’ve never dealt with paparazzi, and having paparazzi be outside your hotel or follow your vehicle, it is a bit bizarre and very new, but in a way, it’s like problems I prayed for, you know?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You’ve gained a huge young fan base through this movie. What has it been like talking to young girls and kids who love the movie?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> Honestly, it’s the best part for me. This film is obviously for everyone, but I think that seeing the way it’s affected the youth, seeing young people — you see it in their eyes, you know? They’re really inspired by this film and the message. They walk with a different confidence when they sing these songs. I think that’s really the reason why we do what we do. When the kids come up to us and they tell us that they dressed up as Rumi, Zoey, Mira for Halloween, with their mom matching…</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> [Or] their dad matching.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> Yeah, their dad matching! That, to me, is what energizes me to just — as sleep-deprived as we are — to love that, because that’s the s–t that really means something.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> Yesterday, there was this little Korean girl, and her mom told me that she really wants to be a singer and she really looks up to Taylor Swift. And Taylor Swift is amazing, we love her, and then [the mom] said, “And then EJAE came and REI AMI and Audrey…,” and seeing girls who look like her, we became her favorite artist as well. Her dream to become a singer is even bigger and she’s much more passionate now. Isn’t that so sweet? It’s like, “Oh, wow, they look like me — I could be a singer!” And then it gave her more confidence. What can I say to that?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> Changing the world.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You’ve been all over awards shows lately. Have you had any especially mind-blowing interactions with celebrities who come up to talk about <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em>?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> My sister saw Demi Lovato taking a video of us at the Clive Davis [pre-Grammy] party. And I was like, “Wow, <em>Camp Rock</em> changed my life.” This is real. This is me.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	(<em>All three women sing “This Is Me” from </em>Camp Rock<em> in unison</em>.) “This is real! This is me! I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> It kind of has a similar message to “Golden,” honestly. To see cultural staples of our generation adore this movie is pretty…</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> Mind-blowing.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> Surreal, yeah.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> Lana Del Rey apparently at Clive Davis sang [along with “Golden,” and Ryan Tedder] recorded it. I just saw it online, and she was singing “Golden” with us. So I feel strengthened. (<em>Laughs</em>.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Given this very public platform that you all have now, what have been the most important issues that you want to bring to the forefront?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> The reason why Grammys or winning an award was important to me was not actually for me; it’s representation. When I was a K-pop trainee, you see a lot of fellow Koreans training with you. But once I separated with that life, I moved to New York and started writing songs, and I didn’t see many Asian women or Korean American women in the industry. And I felt it was quite ­lonely, I’m not going to lie. And I think oftentimes Asian women are viewed a certain way, so impostor syndrome was really intense. Every time I got into a session, there were mostly men or just non-Asians. So I’ve always wanted to open the door for Asian women to also be confident to be in the songwriting industry or music industry in the States and trying to grow that community more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> Obviously representation, being able to stand and represent our culture. And I’m very passionate about education and education access for kids. I launched a campaign for Luminos Fund, an amazing organization that basically gives kids in Ethiopia, Liberia, Gambia and a few other countries a second chance at school. We’ve set a goal to raise $1 million this year for that.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> Just sharing my story, our stories, and being vulnerable and honest about how difficult this career choice is. We’ve been in this game for how long? How many doors have been shut on us? How many times have we had to pick ourselves up from the ashes and start again and again and again? And there was a point in my career where I was very shy about sharing and being honest about how difficult it is. (<em>Sobbing</em>.) But I think this entire journey and being surrounded by such amazing women has given me the courage to be honest. It’s a very lonely journey sometimes, so sharing your story can really help others feel a little less alone. Others have done that for me, so I have to pay it forward. (<em>Still sobbing</em>.) I cry a lot, it’s not special!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Speaking of all these awards shows, “Golden” was a massive hit and spent eight weeks atop our Hot 100 chart, but commercial success isn’t always accompanied by critical acclaim. What has all this critical recognition meant to you?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> Sheesh, I mean, it just doesn’t feel real. With “Golden” coming out at the time that it [did], too — the message behind “Golden” is definitely something that’s so important. And also the fact that “Golden” is not just in English but some is Korean. I think it’s all meant to be.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> And this goes far deeper than just this year, you know? It goes to also think the fact that it’s critically acclaimed, it really does mean so much, because I think it’s stamping your place in history. Being able to stand in those rooms with creative peers and people who we respect so much on top of knowing that there’s grandmas and their grandchildren vibing to this music together in the Hyundai — it’s crazy. It’s so multifaceted. It just speaks to how many people resonate with this.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> I’m an immigrant. I came to this country at 7 years old with my family. My parents worked very long hours, blue-collar jobs for their daughter for all their sacrifices to amount to this? It’s a multigenerational flex. “Golden” was the first K-pop song to win [a Grammy] — that’s history. They’re going to be studying “Golden” for ages. They’re going to have a class, like a whole study on “Golden” and its rise, if not already.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Thinking about the way the three of you came together and comparing it to the K-pop system, there’s a parallel in that you were placed in a group, but there are a lot of differences too, because you’re coming out of this film with so much agency and power. I wonder if you think about those similarities but als</strong><strong>o the major differences.</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> Oh, definitely. I literally think about that all the time. A huge difference is the fact that [REI and Audrey have] been in the music industry for a long time, and they are their own artists. They write their stuff and produce their own things, and they have their own voice and tone and everything. Then coming together and us having chemistry just feels rare. Our voices blend really well together, but also just our personalities and how we perform.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> I think the common thing, though, is the work ethic. To be a K-pop idol, you have to have immense work ethic. And also, like with us, we were brought together. We never rehearsed together [for the film]. We didn’t even record together. But I think something I noticed, right off the jump, even during our first rehearsals, is how hard and how attentive they are to their own craft. So I think that’s why it works, because we show up individually and we respect each other in the process, because we’ve gone through it and we understand it.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>There’</strong><strong>s a lot of demand for you to do more as HUNTR/X, like a group tour or more music. But what are your instincts about what to do next as a unit?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> We would love to write together.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> We should start a label.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> We could tour together.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> I mean, people have been asking for a tour. We, unfortunately, do not hold that power.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> We don’t, but that’d be cool.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> It would be cool. You got to demand it more, though!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> I just can’t even imagine the memories we would make on tour. Honestly, I feel like a theater kid again when I’m around you guys. There’s just this excitement of, like, our teams squadding it up together.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> If the fans want it, what can we do?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> HUNTR/X jet!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> (<em>Laughs</em>.) And then come out and do “How It’s Done,” remake that scene [from <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em>]. That’d be sick.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>There’s a <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> sequel coming in 2029. Are you three involved?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> We really don’t know. There’s nothing official, so…</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> We’re also waiting for the call.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> We are. Stay tuned, guys.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>I wanted to focus on each of you as an individual, starting with EJAE. I knew from your Globes speech that you were a K-pop trainee, but I had no idea you started at age 11. You have a lot of fans coming up to you now, young girls, probably a similar age, asking about becoming a singer and getting in the music industry. What do you tell them?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> I just say to not be afraid of rejection and not be afraid of failure. I think you learn way more from failing than succeeding, actually. And persistence is really important.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>When you made the transition to songwriting, you had a front-row seat to some of the biggest girl groups in K-pop. Did working behind the scenes help prepare you for what was to come with HUNTR/X?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> So much. I mean, I think the writing process has been very similar, because when I’m thinking about writing for these girls, I’m always thinking about concepts and music videos and choreography. Also, being a K-pop trainee myself and loving to dance, I’m always thinking about that when I’m writing a melody. So for the film, that’s what I’m thinking — the scenes, what can make it cooler? What can the characters say? So it transitioned very, very well.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>We’ve heard three songs from you already outside of HUNTR/X since the film came out: your debut solo single “In Another World,” your feature with Anyma on “Out of My Body,” and “Time After Time” in February. Do you think those songs signal to your fans the direction you might want to go with your own solo material?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> Sort of. With my artistry — which I’m still trying to figure out, guys. I’m learning with my fans. I feel like we’re kind of growing together — I always view my artistry as songwriting. Songwriting is always number one, and so I’m always exploring different genres as a songwriter and different textures of my voice.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI, you had a different kind of start from EJAE. You graduated college before launching your music career, and you found viral success back in 2020 with “Freak” and then touring with Tinashe. Did that early taste of solo success in any way prepare you for everything to come with this film?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> To a degree. My solo success was nowhere near any of this HUNTR/X stuff, but learning how the industry works and how to navigate it, building your team, following your gut, following your vision as an artist and figuring out what that looks like, and also engaging with your fans, all of that — I think my earlier success definitely prepped me. The industry is really hard, and as a newbie, if you’re super green to it, your first heartbreak’s gonna crush you. I’m so glad I went through all my first heartbreaks and all my little no’s and rejections. I’m so glad I got that s–t out of the way.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Having your own back catalog — your solo mixtape, your EP, your singles — are you finding that fans of the film are digging back into your older material?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> I made a warning when all the HUNTR/X stuff was really bubbling, because a lot of the new fans are kids or minors. And I never imagined that I’d be a role model ever in my career. But turns out, I guess I am now! So I was worried, because my solo stuff is very not safe for work. It’s very aggressive and in your face. So it’s like, “I wonder how these little girls are gonna react.” But then I was like, “Wait. You’re a little child. You should not have free access to any of my music! And if you do, that’s not my fault; that’s the fault of your parents, and I am not your legal guardian!” So I am absolved from any consequences. (<em>Laughs</em>.) But hey, one thing they will learn [from my music]? Confidence, boldness, saying no, boundaries. Do not mess with me!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> Facts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What are you thinking as far as a next song release or an album?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> I’m finishing my album right now, and it’s just a whole compilation of all my feelings vomited onto this beautiful record. It explains my journey throughout this entire process and just pouring my heart out. I just want to spread joy and make people dance. And put the phone down!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey, like REI, you were releasing music before the film, but then similar to EJAE, you also sang and performed when you were young. What did pursuing music look like for you at that age?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> I’ve been performing for as long as I can remember, and honestly, this is the only thing I ever wanted to do with my life. I had a brief month when maybe I wanted to be an astronaut, and then I was horrible at physics, so that went out the door. I grew up in theater. I think that my journey to this moment has really prepared me to deal with a lot of the insane changes of my life. I have gone through the trenches, to be honest with you. I’m used to sweaty Brooklyn warehouse shows at midnight with horrible sound and just everything going to s–t, and even those things have fed into my resilience in this moment of being able to take up this space. So I’m grateful for every voice lesson. I’m grateful for every teacher that I’ve had. Shout-out to the arts educators. I’m grateful for every failure. I’m grateful, like REI said and EJAE said, for every rejection. That has really prepared me for this moment.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You had some big collaborations before the film, including with Jack Harlow and DJ Snake, and you released two albums. Have you also been hearing from the <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> fans about digging back into your previous music?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> I’ve seen some [fan] reaction videos, and they’re always very juicy and funny. (<em>Laughs</em>.) I’m actually working on my third album, but that has been such an insane, insane journey of faith to kind of learn how to make music all over again after an experience like this, focusing on storytelling, focusing on trying to capture what this moment has been, because it’s literally one of the craziest things that any of us have ever been through. And I’m really excited to be putting out music, finally.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>At these awards shows, you’ve been in the room with a lot of major artists, and now you’re on their radar. Are there some dream collaborators that you’re going to be reaching out to for your new music?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> I have so many. Solange; a huge fan of Solange. Imogen Heap; she’s a genius. Huge fan of Rosalía; I thought her last album [<em>Lux</em>] was really so disruptive, and as a producer, too, I think she’s so dope. And Björk. Rihanna is the queen.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> She’s kind of naming a lot for me…</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> I mean, Doechii would be really fun. Who else? I’m blanking. There’s so many.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>A lot of the women you just mentioned have been honored at <em>Billboard</em>’s Women in Music before — maybe you’ll be in the room with them in April.</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> That’s what I was going to say when you asked about the Women of the Year [title]. I immediately just think about all the women who have come before us and have paved the road — obviously in the music industry, but also like our ancestry and our lineage, and like the women who had to deal with so much bulls–t for us to be able to sit here today. That’s everything to us.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>When you’re going through all the chaos and whirlwind of this past year, what has it been like to have these women sitting next to you for it all?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> That’s the best part.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>REI:</strong> I will steal candy from children for these two. (<em>EJAE and Audrey laugh</em>.) I will! And laugh while I do it.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> Besides a very few close friends and my sister, I didn’t really have a lot of female friends growing up, and I just feel this huge inspiration for femininity and the fact that femininity is not delicate, you know? It’s very powerful.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>EJAE:</strong> It’s loud.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Audrey:</strong> Yes, and it’s multifaceted, and it takes so many different forms. What I appreciate so much about our friendship is the fact that we literally sometimes cannot be more opposite, but every time we step on the stage, every time we go into rehearsal, any time someone’s having a hard day, it’s like we have each other’s backs, and at the core of who we are, we want to see each other and other women win. And I think that’s what 2026 and beyond is about. That’s the energy that has the potential to honestly change the world and heal a lot.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/madonna/">Madonna</a> is officially headed back to the dance floor. After months of teasing, the singer confirmed on Wednesday morning (April 15) that her eagerly anticipated sequel (she calls it a “continuation”) to her 2005 electropop dance classic, <em>Confession On a Dancefloor</em> is due out on July 3 on Warner Records.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She previewed the LP, dubbed <em>Confessions II</em>, in a breathless, trancey visualizer set to a thrumming beat in which she previewed the opening track “I Feel So Free.” The strobe-heavy visual revealed the shorthand name for the project — <em>COADF2</em> — and featured feathery voice-over from the singer in which she says, “Thanks for coming/ Sometimes I like to just hide in the shadows/ Create a new persona/ A different identity/ I can be whoever I want to be.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Over bubbling synths and a spare, clicking beat Madonna sways in blurry, colorful shadow behind the projected lyrics about getting lost in the rhythm as she adds, “Honestly, I wish I could be like other people/ And just not care/ But out here/ On the dance floor/ I feel so free,” as the beat starts to pick up and a man’s voice adds, “Oh, by the way, it all started like this” before the music fades and the screen goes to black.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a statement, Madonna summed up the new album by quoting the first few lines of the song “One Step Away,” saying, “People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.” She added that when she re-teamed with the original LP’s producer, Stuart Price, on the new album they created a working manifesto.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It reads: “We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect — with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people. Sound, light, and vibration Reshape our perceptions Pulling us into a trancelike state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time<em>.</em>“</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The details about Madonna’s 15th studio album, the follow-up to 2019’s <em>Madame X</em>, come after the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/madonna-teases-confession-on-dance-floor-2-song-snippet-pic-1236222351/">singer teased the news</a> on Tuesday (April 14) with a short instrumental snippet, a provocative image of her legs astride a speaker and a clean wipe of her Instagram feed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The LP will mark Madonna’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/madonna-return-warner-records-teases-2026-dance-album-1236069406/">return to her original label home</a>, Warner Records, after nearly two decades away. She began getting fans amped up for her homecoming in November with the release of <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/madonna-digital-confessions-on-a-dance-floor-20-years-edition-1236107726/">Confessions on a Dance Floor Twenty Years Edition</a></em>, an expanded version of the 2005 album that featured such hits as “Hung Up,” “Sorry” and “Get Together.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Police in Melbourne, Australia, — where the alleged incident took place 16 years ago — said in a statement on Wednesday (April 15) that its sexual offenses and child abuse investigation team detectives had begun “investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The spokesperson continued, “Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Billboard </em>has reached out to reps for Perry and Rose for comment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The update comes two days after the pop star vehemently <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/katy-perry-denies-ruby-rose-claim-sexual-assault-lies-1236221438/">denied the accusations</a> via her rep, who said in a statement to <em>Billboard</em>, “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perry’s rep also claimed that the <em>Orange Is the New Black </em>alum has a “well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals” that have been “repeatedly been denied by those named.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Rose first shared her accusations on Sunday (April 12), commenting under an unrelated post about about Perry on Threads, “Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s–t what she thinks.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The actress went on to share details of the alleged assault and noted that she has framed it to others in the past as a “funny little drunk story” due to her not knowing “how else to handle” the alleged situation. Later, she told followers, “Today I will be walking into a police station to see if any of my experiences can be investigated. I imagine they are past their statute of limitations, but all the more reason to try.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Tuesday (April 14), Rose returned to Threads and shared what she said will be her “last update” on the situation for a while. “As of this afternoon, I have finalized all of my reports,” she wrote. “This means I am no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved … This is a standard request from the police and in many ways, quite the relief. I can start the healing process now.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>If you or anyone you know has experienced sexual assault and needs support, reach out to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. The organization provides free, confidential support to sexual assault victims 24/7. Call RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE) or visit the anti-sexual violence organization’s <a href="https://rainn.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">website</a> for more information.</em></p>

	Anitta, born Larissa de Macedo Machado, delivered two electrifying performances from her upcoming album <em>Equilibrium</em>, due April 16 through Republic Records.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For her first performance, the Rio de Janeiro native brought a striking visual to her <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/anitta-shakira-choka-choka-announcement-1236216468/">newly released</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/shakira/">Shakira</a> collaboration, “Choka Choka.” Dressed in a form-fitting brown ensemble and flanked by similarly styled dancers, she powered through the pulsating track amid flashing lights and a live backing band. When Shakira’s vocals kicked in, Anitta flashed a smile and kept the momentum going.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The singer-songwriter returned later in the show for an atmospheric performance of the moody track “Varias Quejas,” which translates to “Several Complaints.” Now dressed in a beautiful purple dress against a lush, greenery-filled stage design, Anitta delivered an emotionally charged rendition of the track, moving sensually with the groove of the live band.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Anitta has long been a trailblazing force in bringing Brazilian music to the global stage. From her viral reggaetón hit “Envolver” — which reached No. 3 on <em>Billboard</em>’s Hot Latin Songs chart in 2022 — to her standout performances at festivals like Coachella, she has continued to expand her international reach as one of Brazil’s most prominent musical exports.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Grammy-nominated artist recently released her latest single, “Pinterest,” an acoustic bossa nova–inspired track infused with her signature pop flair. Issued in both Spanish and Portuguese versions, the song highlights her versatility and serves as part of her new album, <em>Equilibrium</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The upcoming project follows 2024’s <em>Funk Generation</em>, which earned a nomination for best Latin pop album at the 2025 Grammy Awards. </p>

	Asha was admitted at the hospital on late Saturday with a chest infection and exhaustion, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle said in a social media post.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Asha’s timeless voice resonated across a film-obsessed India for nearly eight decades, recorded on about 12,000 songs. She boldly embraced cabaret and Western-influenced melodies to forge a distinct musical identity that stood uniquely apart from her sister, Lata Mangeshkar, herself a legendary voice revered as the “Melody Queen.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Asha’s death was widely condoled.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I am deeply saddened” by her passing, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a social media post.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Her unique musical journey spanning decades has enriched our cultural heritage and touched the hearts of countless people around the world,” Modi said. “From soulful melodies to spirited compositions, her voice carried a timeless brilliance.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Born on Sept. 8, 1933, Asha Bhosle was initiated into music by her father Dinanath Mangeshkar, who was also a trained singer. All her four siblings became accomplished singers and musicians.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Asha’s first marriage, in 1949, ended in separation in 1960. Her second marriage was to iconic music composer R.D. Burman in 1980. She is survived by a son and grandchildren.</p>

	“A number of years ago I was experiencing a number of symptoms,” Dumont said. “I went to my doctor, I went to a neurologist, did a whole bunch of tests, and I was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease. It’s been a struggle, it’s a struggle every day.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Dumont, who joined No Doubt in 1988, said in his message that he has spent recent months preparing for the ska-pop group’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/concerts/no-doubt-sphere-las-vegas-residency-1236086358/">upcoming residency</a> at Las Vegas’ Sphere, which launches on May 6.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The last couple months, getting ready for the No Doubt Sphere shows, it’s been very fun,” the guitarist said. “Looking through old footage and looking at old photographs and relearning old songs and rehearsing and creating all the video stuff for the Sphere. It’s kind of made me think about how grateful I am for the life I’ve gotten to lead, as a musician all these years. It’s thanks for our families and our friends and our listeners and you and everyone who’s come to our shows over the years.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Despite his diagnosis, Dumont confirmed in the clip that he will still be taking part in No Doubt’s run at the MSG-owned 17,600-capacity venue. The group currently has dates scheduled through mid-June at the Sphere.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The guitarist also said he plans to share another video explaining his diagnosis and the symptoms he is experiencing in more detail.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The good news is I can still play music, I can still play guitar,” Dumont said. “I’ve been doing really well. I’ve just been very inspired by other people who have come out to talk about their health issues on social media and that sort of thing. I think it helps erase some of the stigma and it raises awareness obviously, and awareness is really important for prevention and for research.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Early onset Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement, cognition and mood, according to the <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/young-onset-parkinsons-disease-clinic/overview/ovc-20529123" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mayo Clinic</a>. While there are a number of treatments and lifestyle changes that can help ease Parkinson’s symptoms, there is currently no cure for the disease, according to the <a href="https://www.apdaparkinson.org/what-is-parkinsons/early-onset-parkinsons-disease/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">American Parkinson Disease Association</a>.</p>

	Footage from the concert shows Offset — who was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/offset-released-from-hospital-thanks-fans-statement-1236220128/">released from the hospital</a> just 48 hours prior, after <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/offset-shot-hospital-florida-1236216540/">being shot</a> outside the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on April 6 — performing on what appears to be an outdoor stage surrounded by energetic college students.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“REAL LOVE,” Offset captioned an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXBA1vyFRUz/?hl=en&img_index=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> photo gallery from the event.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The carousel included clips of the Atlanta rapper being wheeled onto the stage, as well as photos of him posing in a red shirt, sunglasses, a hat and a skeleton mask.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Offset was shot in the valet area of the Hard Rock Casino following an altercation. He was later transported to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lil-tjay/">Lil Tjay</a> was later <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/lil-tjay-bond-offset-rat-1236217096/">arrested</a> on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in connection with the incident and posted a $500 bond on April 7. After his release, Lil Tjay gave an interview in which he called Offset a “rat” and recounted the alleged shooting.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this, ‘Yo, that n—a shot me. That n—a shot me.’ La la la. N—a is a rat. N—a is a rat. I don’t do no damn fighting,” he said, before being asked if he was the one who shot Offset. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot Offset? That s–t is crazy.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	During the Rowfest performance, fans in the audience were seen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXBGRmqjeBl/?img_index=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">holding up phones</a> displaying the message “F—k Lil Tjay.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Offset’s next scheduled performance is set for May 9 at the Xperience Live Event Center in Orlando, Florida, according to his <a href="https://www.offsetofficial.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>

	The last album by a group to spend at least three weeks at No. 1 was Mumford & Sons’ <em>Babel</em>, which had five nonconsecutive weeks atop the list in 2012-13. It spent its first three weeks on the chart at No. 1 (charts dated Oct. 13-27, 2012) and then returned to the top for two more weeks (March 2 and 9, 2013) following its win for album of the year at the Grammy Awards. <em>Babel</em> was also the last album by a group to spend its first three weeks at No. 1.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>ARIRANG</em> is the first album to spend its first three weeks at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s <em>The Life of a Showgirl</em> racked up its first seven weeks atop the list (Oct. 18-Nov. 29, 2025), of its <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/taylor-swift-showgirl-twelfth-week-number-one-billboard-200-1236148560/">12 total weeks</a> at No. 1.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s a quiet week in the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200, as there are no debuts in the region. It’s the first time there are no debuts in the top 10 in three months, since the Jan. 17-dated list.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Of <em>ARIRANG</em>’s 124,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 71,000 (down 34%; it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a third week), SEA units comprise 50,000 (down 24%, equaling 52.44 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it moves 3-4 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 3,000 (down 65%).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/morgan-wallen/">Morgan Wallen</a>’s chart-topping <em>I’m the Problem</em> pushes 4-2 on the Billboard 200 (80,000 equivalent album units earned, up 5%); <em>BULLY</em> by Ye (formerly <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kanye-west/chart-history/hsi/">Kanye West</a>) falls one spot to No. 3 (69,000, down 54% in its second week); <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/don-toliver/">Don Toliver</a>’s former leader <em>OCTANE</em> climbs 8-4 (57,000, up 7% after new physical editions of the album dropped); and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-dean/">Olivia Dean</a>’s <em>The Art of Loving</em> lifts 7-5 (50,000, down 7%). <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/luke-combs/">Luke Combs</a>’ <em>The Way I Am</em> is a non-mover at No. 6 (46,000, down 16%).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Four former No. 1s fill out the rest of the top 10, as Bad Bunny’s <em>DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS </em>ascends 9-7 (45,000 equivalent album units earned, down 9%), Wallen’s <em>One Thing at a Time</em> drives 14-8 (39,000, up 1%), Harry Styles’ <em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.</em> steps 10-9 (37,000, down 22%) and Bruno Mars’ <em>The Romantic</em> rises 12-10 (nearly 37,000, down 7%).</p>

	“Thank God he has Premium. I don’t wanna see no ads,” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/katy-perry/">Katy Perry</a> joked in an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXBwa9clWH3/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading&img_index=1" target="_blank">Instagram</a> video she posted while watching Bieber’s set from the crowd.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s giving lets smoke and watch YouTube,” Larsson wrote in the clip, where her friends can be seen watching a video of Bieber showing off his viral “double rainbow all the way” video.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“He’s in my dream blunt rotation,” the Swedish pop star captioned the post.</p>

	Bieber spent roughly 25 minutes of his Coachella headlining set going down an internet rabbit hole, pulling up once-viral clips such as “Deez Nuts” and “Double Rainbow.” He also played a string of his early hits, singing along to snippets of “Baby,” “That Should Be Me” and “Never Say Never,” as their music videos filled the screen behind him. The pop star then took it all the way back, playing the video that launched his career: his “With You” cover from 2008.</p>

	Bieber will return for Coachella’s second weekend on April 18. Check out <em>Billboard</em>’s full review of his opening-weekend headlining set <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/justin-bieber-coachella-2026-headliner-recap-1236216550/">here</a>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The K-pop girl group — currently a five-piece (Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae) while bandmate Manon is on a temporary hiatus — chatted with<em> Billboard</em> the day after their first time playing the iconic music festival in Indio, Calif., Friday night (April 10). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It was electric,” Lara tells<em> Billboard</em>‘s Tetris Kelly of KATSEYE’s time on the Sahara Stage. “Our dreams came true last night. You know, every interview, if you’ve ever asked our biggest goal it was playing Coachella. We achieved that last night. so I think it’s so much gratitude.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It was bonkers,” she adds, as seen in video of KATSEYE’s full interview, seen above. “We went crazy.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	One of the headline-making moments of KATSEYE’s Coachella set: welcoming surprise guests <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/huntr-x/">HUNTR/X</a> to their stage for a joint performance of the massive <em>Kpop Demon Hunters</em> hit “Golden.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yoonchae was quick to tell <em>Billboard</em> what the experience was like from their perspective: “I was so happy to bring HUNTR/X to our Coachella stage. They were really, really nice. They were so sweet. When we started to sing ‘Golden,’ we saw a lot of the crowd was screaming — they were so excited. I was so happy about that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s really beautiful to have a joint slay on the stage at Coachella,” Sophia chimes in.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perhaps the biggest personal moment for KATSEYE at Coachella was the group’s live debut of “Pinky Up,” the brand-new hyper-pop single they <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/katseye-pinky-up-single-video-without-manon-1236218873/">dropped just before performing</a> it on the big stage. (The song is their first release without Manon.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We absolutely love, love, love the song,” Daniela says. “To perform it for the very first time, debut it at Coachella, was fire. I looked back at the videos and I was like, ‘Guys, we ate that.’ Especially the dance break. The crowd went wild.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Megan adds of the track, “I think it’s one of our favorites. It’s very hard-hitting, something that makes us feel confident. I think it’s probably pretty high up there.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Roc Nation’s insurance company says it doesn’t need to pay for CEO <strong>Desiree Perez</strong>’s ongoing lawsuit with her daughter because it’s a strictly personal matter — and it’s suing her to prove it.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a lawsuit filed Friday (April 7), New York Marine and General Insurance Co. asked a federal judge to rule that it has no obligation to defend Perez — the head of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jay-z/">Jay-Z</a>’s business empire — in litigation with her daughter Demoree Hadley, who has accused her mother of a range of legal wrongdoing.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Because the court battle with Hadley arises from “their contentious mother-daughter relationship,” the insurance company says it’s not covered by Roc’s commercial liability policies.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Mrs. Hadley’s claims against Mrs. Perez in the [lawsuit] are clearly not with respect to Mrs. Perez’s duties as Roc Nation’s Chief Executive Officer and are unrelated to Roc Nation’s business,” lawyers for New York Marine write in the lawsuit, obtained and first reported by <em>Billboard</em>. “Consequently, Mrs. Perez is not an ‘insured’ as defined by the policies.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A spokesperson for Perez and an attorney for Hadley both declined to comment. An attorney for New York Marine did not immediately return a request for comment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perez has been quietly battling with her daughter in federal court for nearly a year. In April 2025, she sued Hadley’s husband, Javon Hadley, claiming he had trapped her daughter in a “dangerously abusive relationship” and that she was worried he “may kill her one day.”</p>

	“Plaintiffs are living every family’s nightmare,” Perez’s lawyers wrote at the time. “By this lawsuit, plaintiffs are shouting from the rooftops for the world to hear that they love D.H., and her family will fight with every fiber of their beings to protect her.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But in her own case filed against her mother a month later, Hadley told a very different story — about how Perez was a “convicted felon” who had “used her money, power, and influence to tear the Hadleys apart.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The case claimed Perez had illegally surveilled her daughter, including by bugging her room and hacking her iCloud account. It also alleged she had used false allegations to get Javon wrongfully arrested several times, then had Hadley wrongly committed to a drug treatment facility. “It is difficult to imagine that a mother would do the acts listed below to her own child,” Hadley’s lawyers wrote at the time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Both sides have denied any wrongdoing and moved to dismiss the other’s claims. But a judge has allowed parts of each side’s accusations to move ahead, and both cases are headed for more litigation and moving toward a potential trial.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to this week’s new lawsuit, Perez invoked Roc’s commercial insurance policies in October, sending a letter that “demanded that NYM pay for her entire defense” in the battle with Hadley. Last month, the company says it sent a response denying coverage.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Desiree does not meet the policies’ definition of ‘insured” for claims or damages caused by her personal conduct related to a dispute with her daughter and son-in-law, which is not with respect to her duties as Roc Nation’s CEO, outside the scope of her employment, and wholly unrelated to the conduct of Roc Nation’s business as a sports and entertainment agency,” the insurer wrote in the letter to Perez, which was attached as an exhibit to the lawsuit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the letter, the insurance company counter-offered: It would pay for her legal defense, but with the crucial caveat that it would reserve the right to recoup that money “to the extent there is a determination that NYM does not owe a defense or indemnity under the policies.” And in its lawsuit this week, the insurer is asking a federal judge to issue exactly that sort of determination.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“There is no reasonable possibility of providing coverage for Mrs. Perez for the claims against her in the amended complaint,” the company writes in the new case. “Accordingly, NYM is entitled to entry of a declaratory judgment that NYM has no duty to defend or indemnify Mrs. Perez.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Hadley is also named as a defendant in New York Marine’s lawsuit. While there’s no suggestion that she also asked Roc’s insurance company to pay for her legal case, the insurer says that she is “an indispensable party to this action” because she’s the plaintiff in the underlying dispute.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sabrina-carpenter/">Sabrina Carpenter</a> might need some go-go juice before she headlines Coachella.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In an April 7 interview with<em> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://theperfectmagazine.com/features/sabrina-carpenter-interviewed-by-marc-jacobs" target="_blank">Perfect</a></em> conducted by fashion mogul Marc Jacobs, Carpenter shared how she’s handling preparations for her upcoming Coachella performance.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s the most ambitious show I’ve ever done,” Carpenter said to the designer, explaining that this is the first time she’s had a prolonged lead up to a performance. Unlike her other shows, Carpenter had seven months to work on her Coachella set. She told Jacobs this is the longest amount of time she’s had to focus on building a show. “So it’s been a long journey. It will be very special.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Carpenter will be headlining Coachella’s Friday night (April 10 and 17) lineups. Though this is her first time in the highly coveted slot, it is not her first time playing the festival. The pop star made her Coachella debut in 2024 — and on a very important day.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That was a really special day for me, the day my song ‘Espresso’ came out,” Carpenter said of when she first played the annual music festival.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the two years since she released “Espresso” as the lead single to her album <em>Short n’ Sweet</em>, Carpenter’s career has absolutely skyrocketed. “Espresso” ascended to the No. 3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her first top 10 entry. “Please Please Please” hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, her first time topping the chart. <em>Short n’ Sweet</em> debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, where it stayed for four weeks. Her follow up album, 2025’s <em>Man’s Best Friend</em>, also debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned Hot 100 hits “Manchild” (No. 1) and “Tears” (No. 3).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“And now, two years later, we’re back,” Carpenter says of Coachella. “And I think that’s what makes this show feel really, really surreal: getting to celebrate all the songs that have come after it, and just how many lives they’ve lived since they’ve come out.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Wristbands for both Coachella weekends are sold out, but fans without tickets can watch Carpenter’s performance on the official <a href="https://www.coachella.com/youtube-livestream" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Coachella YouTube livestream</a>. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lil-tjay/">Lil Tjay</a> posted bond on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/lil-tjay-arrested-connection-offset-shooting-florida-1236216864/">his disorderly conduct charge </a>in connection to the non-deadly <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/offset-shot-hospital-florida-1236216540/">shooting of Offset</a> outside the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and the Bronx native had some harsh words for the Migos rapper when leaving Broward County Jail custody while speaking to reporters on Tuesday (April 7).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/qwOmDC9Y-o4">NBC </a>caught up with the “Calling My Phone” rapper on his way out of the Florida jail, where he called <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/offset">Offset </a>a “rat” and threatened the Atlanta native.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tjay recalled the scene of Monday’s (April 6) shooting. “The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this, ‘Yo, that n—a shot me. That n—a shot me.’ La la la. N—a is a rat. n—a is a rat. I don’t do no damn fighting,” he said, before being asked if he was the one to shoot Offset. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot Offset? That s–t is crazy.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tjay continued to taunt Set: “I’ll slap the s–t out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reporters peppered Lil Tjay with questions regarding speculation that Offset owed him money. “Ask Offset,” he deferred.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lil Tjay (born Tione Merritt) was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/lil-tjay-arrested-connection-offset-shooting-florida-1236216864/">arrested and booked late Monday</a> on disorderly conduct charges at Broward County Jail with a $500 bond. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A spokesperson for the Seminole Police Department relayed to <em>Billboard</em> that one person had been charged “in connection with the incident that took place Monday night at a valet area outside of Seminole Hard Rock.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The police later identified the individual charged was in fact Tjay and explained that “the incident began with an affray, or fight. Merritt was booked into the Broward County Jail late last night.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	However, Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, labeled the reports associating Tjay with the Offset shooting as “false rumors.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting,” she said. “Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Seminole Police Department said that two individuals were detained and an investigation remains ongoing. Authorities never identified Tjay as a triggerman in the Offset shooting.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Offset (real name Kiari Cephus) <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/offset-shot-hospital-florida-1236216540/">was shot in the valet area </a>outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday. He was hospitalized and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” a rep for Offset told <em>Billboard</em>. “He is stable and being closely monitored.” Offset was photographed by <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/TMZ/status/2041562787445366901">TMZ</a> in a hospital gown outside Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood while smoking.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the music side, Lil Tjay is in album mode and is set to release his <em>They Just Ain’t You</em> album on May 1. He’s already released singles like “First Time, “Can’t Change” and “Letter to My Block.” Tjay has five previous entries on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Billboard </em>has reached out to Lil Tjay and Offset’s reps for comment. Watch the video of Tjay leaving custody below. </p>

	The <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kanye-west-bully-album-beauty-and-the-best-song-announcement-1235787962/">long-teased</a> <em>BULLY</em> was released on March 27 via physical retail outlets and premiered on digital and streaming outlets the following day. During the tracking week of March 27-April 2, the album registered 96,000 units from streaming activity, equal to 98.43 million official on-demand streams of the project’s songs, a further 56,000 units from album sales and a negligible number of track-equivalent units. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 1,000 paid/subscription tier or 2,500 ad-supported tier of official on-demand audio and video streams for a song on the album.)</p>

The Temptations lead the count, with 17 No. 1s, while Drake and Future (16 each) and JAY-Z (14) also rank ahead.</p>

	But, until then, the show will stay the course. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC announced on Tuesday (April 7) that the 99th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 14, 2027, and that the 100th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 5, 2028. This is similar to recent years. This year’s show aired on Sunday, March 15. The 2025 show aired on Sunday, March 2. The upcoming shows will air live at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Oscars didn’t announce who will host the 2027 show, but no one would be surprised if they turned again to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/conan-obrien/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/conan-obrien/">Conan O’Brien</a>, who was widely praised for his work hosting the last two shows. If O’Brien does get the nod, he would become the first person to host the Oscars three years running since <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/conan-obrien/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/conan-obrien/">Billy Crystal </a>hosted four straight Oscar telecasts from 1990-93.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Man I Need,” released and promoted through Polydor/Island/REPUBLIC, knocks Tank’s “Control” from the summit. The former champ slips to No. 3 after a two-week reign.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With its new triumph, “Man I Need” adds a third <em>Billboard</em> chart radio crown, following a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/olivia-dean-man-i-need-number-one-pop-airplay-chart-1236145790/">six-week</a> run atop the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/pop-songs/">Pop Airplay</a> chart in January – February and three weeks at No. 1 on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/adult-pop-songs/">Adult Pop Airplay</a> in February. It’s the first song to lead all three lists since Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” captured three weeks atop Adult R&B Airplay, two terms on Pop Airplay and four weeks on Adult Pop Airplay in 2024. Among songs by women, “Man I Need” is the first track to complete this particular triple play since Adele’s “Hello” achieved one, four and seven weeks, respectively, on the radio rankings in 2015-16.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The song’s cross-format appeal echoes the wide popularity for “Man I Need,” which rode a wave of airplay and streaming support to a No. 2 peak on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> and a 20-week (and counting!) stretch in the chart’s top 10. Led by the momentum, Dean <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/olivia-dean-grammy-speech-2026-1236169551/">won the Grammy Award</a> for best new artist at this year’s ceremony on Feb. 1.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Elsewhere, “Man I Need” continues to scale two other radio charts. Its coronation on Adult R&B Airplay boosts its fortunes on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-r-and-b-hip-hop-airplay/">R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay</a> chart, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop stations. There, it climbs 20-19 with 5 million in audience, up 6% from last week. Additionally, it holds at No. 8 on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/adult-contemporary/">Adult Contemporary</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Through its strength across formats, “Man I Need” repeats at No. 2 on the all-genre <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/radio-songs/">Radio Songs</a> chart for a seventh consecutive week and ninth total time in the runner-up spot. The single is a former champ there, with three weeks at No. 1 in February.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A warrant is out for the arrest of a 55-year-old woman who allegedly stalked and threatened <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lindsey-buckingham/">Lindsey Buckingham</a> for years before physically attacking the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Fleetwood-Mac">Fleetwood Mac</a> frontman last month.  </p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Michelle Dick was hit with felony charges that carry potential prison time in a Friday (April 3) criminal complaint brought by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and obtained by<em> Billboard</em>. A judge signed a warrant for Dick’s arrest, ordering that she be held on $300,000 bail if apprehended.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Prosecutors claim Dick has stalked and repeatedly threatened Buckingham with violence since 2021. The harassment allegedly escalated to physical violence last month, when Dick is accused of hitting Buckingham with her car and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/fleetwood-mac-lindsey-buckingham-attacked-by-woman-1236212781/">dousing the musician</a> with an unknown substance in Santa Monica.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Dick is charged with seven total counts of stalking, making criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon, battery and vandalism. In addition to targeting Buckingham, she’s also accused of stalking another individual referred to in court filings as “Stephanie N.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Buckingham previously won a restraining order in 2024 requiring Dick to stay away from his family and cease all contact. In court filings from that time, the singer and guitarist said Dick began calling him and his family members in 2021, claiming to be Buckingham’s child and threatening to kill them.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The restraining order petition also claimed Dick had called in threats to venues where Buckingham was performing in 2022. She then went away for a couple of years but allegedly returned in 2024, showing up at the family’s Los Angeles home and making more threatening phone calls.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“She is clearly mentally unfit and harbors delusions, which makes her scary to me and unpredictable,” wrote Buckingham in a court declaration.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reps for Buckingham did not immediately return a request for comment on the criminal complaint on Tuesday (April 7). Dick could not be located.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of artists know when an ad looks messy.</p>
<p>Fewer realize the words might be the bigger problem.</p>
<p>Even with a great image, weak copy can kill an ad fast. If your message is generic, cluttered, or easy to ignore, the ad loses power before someone ever clicks.</p>
<p>You’ve probably seen copy like this before:</p>
<p>New single out now!<br>Check out my music!<br>Listen today!<br>Available everywhere!</p>
<p>There’s nothing technically wrong with those phrases. They’re just not very compelling.</p>
<p>They don’t create curiosity. They don’t make a promise. They don’t give the viewer a real reason to care.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Good ad copy creates interest fast</strong></h4>
<p>ReverbNation’s Promote It setup keeps the text side of ad creation simple, which is actually helpful. Limited space forces you to be clearer and more intentional with your message. Good ad copy uses that space boldly by making a promise, creating curiosity, or using a strong quote, while the supporting text should clearly identify the artist and encourage action.</p>
<p>That’s the foundation of an ad that drives fan activity..</p>
<p>The best ad copy usually does one of a few things:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>sparks curiosity<br></li>
<li>creates a feeling<br></li>
<li>makes a promise<br></li>
<li>offers proof<br></li>
<li>points to one clear next step<br></li>
</ul>
<p>You do not need to sound like a pro copywriter. You just need to say something more interesting than “I released a song.”</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Your headline is the hook</strong></h4>
<p>The headline is where the ad starts working.</p>
<p>It should be easy to read, easy to understand, and built around one strong idea.</p>
<p>That idea might be:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>the emotion of the song<br></li>
<li>the mood of the release<br></li>
<li>a bold statement<br></li>
<li>a short quote<br></li>
<li>a direct invitation<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Here’s the difference:</p>
<p><strong>Weak:</strong> New single out now<br><strong>Stronger:</strong> The breakup song you’ll put on repeat</p>
<p><strong>Weak:</strong> Watch my new video<br><strong>Stronger:</strong> Watch the video for my most personal song yet</p>
<p>The stronger version gives the viewer a reason to lean in.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Your tagline should add clarity</strong></h4>
<p>If the headline creates interest, the tagline should make the ad make sense.</p>
<p>This is where you can identify the artist and support the action you want the viewer to take.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p><strong>Headline:</strong> The breakup song you’ll put on repeat<br><strong>Tagline:</strong> Hear the new single from [Artist Name]</p>
<p>That works because each line has a job. The headline pulls people in. The tagline tells them what to do.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Generic language gets ignored</strong></h4>
<p>One of the fastest ways to weaken an ad is to use copy that sounds like it could belong to anyone.</p>
<p>Phrases like:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>check it out<br></li>
<li>listen now<br></li>
<li>available everywhere<br></li>
<li>new music out now<br></li>
</ul>
<p>…aren’t always wrong, but they’re rarely enough on their own.</p>
<p>Try to be more specific.</p>
<p>Instead of:<br><strong>Listen to my new track</strong></p>
<p>Try:<br><strong>A late-night anthem for anyone still replaying old memories</strong></p>
<p>Instead of:<br><strong>New music out now</strong></p>
<p>Try:<br><strong>Heavy hooks, honest lyrics, and a chorus that hits hard</strong></p>
<p>The goal is not to overhype. It’s to give people a reason to care.</p>
<p>–</p>
<p>Good ad copy doesn’t just announce your music. It invites people in.</p>
<p>When artists write stronger ads, they stop trying to explain everything and start focusing on what matters most: one clear hook, one focused message, and one simple next step.</p>
<p>That’s when an ad starts to feel compelling.</p>

	To document <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/cheap-trick/">Cheap Trick</a>’s last-ever show at the Nippon Budokan — the Tokyo arena that helped make the band famous with its <em>At Budokan </em>album in the ’70s — the Rockford, Ill., rockers spent $12,000 on a four-person film crew last October. The resulting music video, “The Best Thing,” a sentimental look at the band’s lengthy relationship with its Japanese fanbase, has drawn 77,000 YouTube views — generating only a fraction of the money necessary to buy one of Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen’s <a rel="nofollow" href="https://reverb.com/item/92696363-five-neck-guitar-checkered-signed-rick-neilsen?bk=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJqdGkiOiIwMjA2YTBlMS1lNjRiLTQ1MGMtYjgxOS0yZjBjNTRjYWM3YzIiLCJpYXQiOjE3NzQ5NDY0NDcsInVzZXJfaWQiOiIiLCJzZXNzaW9uX2lkIjoiIiwiY29va2llX2lkIjoiYjc4MmQ5NTktMzczZS00ZWUwLTgwNjQtMzk4M2QyMjNhODBhIiwicHJvZHVjdF9pZCI6IjkyNjk2MzYzIiwic291cmNlIjoiTk9ORSJ9.FAu-_AX_vBjRRQjKvv8Z7GUjQt5XWJlIyBISYeTr1gs" target="_blank">signed five-neck guitars</a>. But revenue wasn’t the point of the exercise.</p>









<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You look at it as promotion,” says <strong>Dino Paredes</strong>, the band’s manager. “The whole point is to capture the relationship between the band and this culture. Clearly, on the business side, it isn’t always a great return on investment.” That said, “The Best Thing” is an “evergreen,” he adds. As for those 77,000 YouTube views, he predicts, “If you and I talk in 10 years, we’ll probably add a couple zeroes to that number.”  </p>

	Though MTV, the platform responsible for bringing music videos into the cultural zeitgeist, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/mtv-rewind-33000-videos-shutdown-overseas-music-only-channels-1236150276/">removed the last</a> of its on-air music video channels three months ago, billions of users still watch them on YouTube every month — not counting the variations displayed on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and other social media. And artists still view the medium as a key promotional tool. “To us, they’re really important,” says <strong>Mike Chester</strong>, general manager of Warner Records. “We’ll always fund a great idea — and some great ideas cost money to pull off. I always tell the team: ‘It’s not about the money. We’ll double the money. We need an idea.’”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Videos cost from $20,000 to the rare $1 million superstar production, according to Chester, who adds, “I’m not approving $1 million videos very often. Hardly ever.” Others in the music business put the range between $30,000 and $250,000, with occasional big-budget videos costing as much as $850,000. <strong>Justin Clough</strong>, a Nashville director who has worked with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/morgan-wallen/">Morgan Wallen</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Hardy">HARD</a><a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Hardy">Y</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Bailey-Zimmerman">Bailey Zimmerman</a>, says the maximum budget is about $400,000. “Well, look, I do everything,” he adds. “If somebody has a cool song and they got $10,000, let’s rip it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s hard to say how much revenue artists generate from their videos. According to sources at two of the major labels, the U.S. the blended video stream rate for premium, ad-supported official videos and ad-supported, user-generated videos for 2025 was $0.0038 per stream, or $3.80 per 1,000 video streams. So <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/taylor-swift/">Taylor Swift</a>’s “The Fate of Ophelia” video, released last October, would have grossed about $1.31 million for its 345 million views and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Alex-Warren">Alex Warren</a>‘s video for “Ordinary,” released on Feb. 25, would have landed roughly $1.25 million for its nearly 328 million views.</p>

	But aside from megastar hits, most music videos do not “move the needle,” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Lizzo">Lizzo</a> declared on TikTok last September, adding that she made a video for her song “STFU” but released it only on Instagram for this reason. “The golden age of the music video is over. And actually, it’s been over for a long time. There will never be another ‘Thriller,’ ‘Lady Marmalade,’ or ‘Ladies Night,’ because critical mass and mainstream culture just don’t exist anymore,” she said. For this reason, according to Clough, labels have “redisbursed” their video budgets in recent years. “With new artists, it’s really hard to get budgets for videos,” he says. “Now it’s allocated to two small-to-medium-sized videos and 20 days of content shooting. Which stings a little bit.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m not necessarily worried that the music video, as a whole, is going to go away,” he continues. “The shining light on all of this is there’s more video than ever.” And more platforms to showcase them: Last November, streaming giant Spotify began <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/spotify-music-videos-us-canada-customers/">rolling out music videos</a> for its customers in the U.S. and Canada.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 2024, Clough joined a Zoom with Zimmerman to discuss the rising country star’s planned “New to Country” video, along with Zimmerman’s managers and Clough’s producers. At the start of the call, he was surprised to hear Zimmerman’s first words: “I want explosions!” The resulting video opens with a sketch that sees a music executive complaining about a $2.3 million budget for a music video, including $150,000 for a private jet and $12,000 for “redneck shit.” The video wound up with just 3.6 million YouTube views, but, Clough says, it was valuable for Zimmerman because he used it to market his tour, also called New to Country: “With certain artists, the number is less important than making sure the product is delivered properly.” Similarly, his 2024 video for HARDY’s “Rockstar” may have drawn just 7 million views, but Clough says it “cemented him in the rock space,” helping the singer transition from a pure country audience to a new genre.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Consumption for music videos has increased moderately in recent years, according to Luminate, from 93 billion in 2024 to 96 billion in 2025, and another 19.4 billion through March 19 of this year — not counting user-generated content set to existing songs. And while <strong>JP Evangelista</strong>, Vevo’s executive vp of content, programming and marketing, observes that “everyone is slightly more cautious now when they are assuming giant, giant video budgets,” his team still identifies 30 “mass-budget” videos per year costing an estimated $750,000 to more than $1 million. “That hasn’t slowed down,” he says. “It still comes from large-scale, tier-A artists where they feel like they can justify the investment and hire a mass-scale director.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Stephen Bryan</strong>, YouTube’s global head of label partnerships, adds that music videos in the TikTok era have more diversified uses than just airing in full to artists’ superfans, classic-MTV-style. Many artists these days release multiple pieces of video content, big and small, from spontaneous behind-the-scenes iPhone footage to live clips to dance videos to remixes to excerpts from <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon </em>or NPR’s <em>Tiny Desk</em>. “When we talk with our partners, we talk about how all those pieces can come together in an effective campaign to release a new song, then extending through the promotional cycle,” Bryan says. “In many ways, music videos are more important, really, than ever before.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Director Chris Miller is sipping an Aperol Spritz during a well-earned family vacation to the Dolomites, marveling at the success of his and co-director Phil Lord’s film <em>Project Hail Mary.</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Starring Ryan Gosling, the movie about a hapless schoolteacher who is blasted off into space to save civilization has also done something otherworldly: become a box office hit. To date, it has grossed $300 million globally, a miraculous feat for a movie in the modern era that isn’t a sequel or based on existing IP. (Industry observers point to 2023’s <em>Oppenheimer</em> as the last example of a similar hit). One could even say that its rare success at the box office mimics the improbable story told in the film. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When you’re doing something that’s a big risk at a time when things are not looking great and it works, it’s very gratifying,” Miller told <em>Billboard</em> via Zoom in between orange-hued sips, of both the film itself and its box office. “In a way, it was its own Hail Mary.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Aside from an emotional and inspiring story (which was adapted from a 2021 novel by Andy Weir) coupled with eye-popping visual effects, the film is fueled by an eclectic soundtrack utilizing both head-turning needle drops and an innovative score which is equally atmospheric and soaring. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We initially had a few ideas we were circling when it came to the music,” Miller told <em>Billboard</em>. “One of them was to have music from all over the world because we wanted it to feel like a global mission with everyone rooting Ryan’s character on.” That includes anything-but-mainstream placements like “Gracias a la Vida” from the Argentine singer Mercedes Sosa and “Po Atarau” courtesy the Turakina Māori Girls’ Choir out of New Zealand, spearheaded by music supervisor Kier Lehman. “We tried using more modern tracks in it, but it didn’t ever want to stick,” said Miller.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There was one outlier. The movie’s most memorable musical moment comes from a haunting performance by the no-nonsense character charged with heading the international task force to save Earth, played stoically by Sandra Hüller. During a key moment in the film, the team gathers to blow off steam and sing karaoke, with Hüller belting out Harry Styles’ Billboard Hot 100 top 5 hit “Sign of the Times,” a setup that was inspired by a location scout the directorial duo embarked on. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We went onto the <em>USS Abraham Lincoln</em> in San Diego and noticed that the most interesting parts of the ship were the social spaces,” Lord recalls. “Some of them have all sorts of quirky things, like 15 versions of <em>Monopoly</em> and a karaoke machine. We were thinking, this is also a movie about social anxiety and the way our connections with each other become so valuable.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Inspired to include a karaoke scene in the script for dramatic effect, initially Hüller’s character wasn’t even slated to take the mic. But in a story Gosling later <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Das7Xc-daI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">relayed</a> on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em>, days before they shot the scene, the star randomly heard Hüller from her dressing room. “I heard the voice of an angel and I was like, ‘What is that?’ I went down the hallway and said, ‘You can sing? Please sing in the movie.’ And she was like, ‘I’ll think about it.’”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Eventually, Lord said that Hüller agreed with one caveat: “She said, ‘I’ll do it, but only if I get to pick the song.’” The team girded themselves, but her choice was “Sign of the Times,” as she and her daughter would both sing along to the Styles track. But the clock was ticking: the production only had 36 hours left on the ship where they were filming in London; barely enough time to practice, let alone clear the megahit considering the time difference. Gosling told Fallon of the reaction: “Can you choose an easier song to clear?”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We spent over a month getting ready to film that scene, pre-recording everybody and overpreparing with options,” Lehman said, until the musical wrench was thrown into his plans. “I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, so we immediately jumped into it.” Their first call was to Universal Music Publishing who represents Styles. Eventually, the film’s powerhouse producer Amy Pascal got involved, as well as Jody Gerson, chairman/CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group. “She got in touch with Harry and told him what a special movie it was going to be.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the 11th hour, they narrowly cleared the song. “Just in time for her to sing, but just barely,” said Lehman. “There was no prep for her.” According to Lord, she only crooned it on camera twice. “We also didn’t tell anybody there what she was going to do, so those reactions are genuine reactions from the cast who didn’t even expect her to show up.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As Gosling told Fallon, “It became the anthem of the film,” with the actor even singing it to Harry Styles during a recent hosting gig on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>. Adding to the kismet, Styles is back in the spotlight promoting his Billboard 200-topping album <em>Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally </em>in tandem with the movie’s release. “It’sone of those incredible moments,” said Lehman, noting even specific lyrics like “We gotta get away from here” match the scene perfectly in the lead-up to Gosling launching into space. “I think it comes from leading with the creative first and not being afraid to take a chance on the right song, even though the backend part of the process wasn’t the ideal situation for my position as a supervisor,” Lehman admits.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to clearing Styles on a time crunch, Lehman also had a Beatles song to contend with. The source material novel is rife with Beatles references, which carry over on screen. Even the capsules Gosling eventually sends back to Earth are named for the respective members of the Fab Four. With that in mind, the goal was to include at least one Beatles tune: no small feat for the famously clearance-averse and typically prohibitively expensive act. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“There were some interesting covers that we had tried from early on because we assumed we never would be able to actually get one in,” said Miller. They included David Bowie’s spin on “Across the Universe” as well as “Here Comes the Sun” courtesy Cat Stevens. Eventually, they narrowed in on two songs: “Don’t Let Me Down” for the end credits, and “Two of Us” during a pivotal scene before the film ends. According to Lehman, the process was layered: “The first thing I was told was that it’d be very expensive, and they’d need a lot of information in order to make a final decision.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With that, the filmmakers handed over scripts, a rough cut, and then, unusually, the final cut of the scene late in the process, so the powers that be had full understanding of the song’s inclusion which later got the greenlight. “Our producing partner Aditya Sood pitched ‘Two of Us,’ and when we included it, it fit it so perfectly,” said Miller, alluding to the fact that while the song on its face is about John and Paul’s friendship, it has double meaning given it’s also a nod to Ryan Gosling’s character and the alien he (spoiler alert) becomes close with.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With the placements in place, the rest of the universe of music is populated by a score from Daniel Pemberton, who previously teamed up with Lord and Miller on<em> Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. </em>“I wanted to make something that felt magical and strange, that captured both the awe and wonder of the universe as well as what it would be like to communicate with an alien being who turned out to be kinda fun,” Pemberton told <em>Billboard</em>. According to Miller, they wanted to make sure Gosling’s character “never felt alone in the scenes. That’s why there were a lot of choral elements in the score; like children stomping and clapping.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In fact, Pemberton used an array of novel ways to record the score, including recruiting actual schoolchildren to record in none other than Abbey Road, in a nod to Gosling’s teacher character. “We had (the kids) playing a lot of the percussion parts using their bodies, stomping on the floor, clapping and slapping,” said Pemberton, who also used a 1950s-era Cristal Baschet, made of glass and metal and played with water. “There are so many unique sounds.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“A lot of a movie’s success depends on people feeling engaged and holding their attention for the length of a concert,” said Lord. “A big part of that is having beautiful music in it. Over time, I think we managed to find the right rhythm to keep everyone locked in and that’s why you’re finding people leave the theater, telling their friends and wanting to see it again.”</p>

	“Thirteen No. 1s on <em>Billboard</em>’s Gospel Airplay chart — this is amazing,” Mann tells <em>Billboard</em>. “And to be tied with my brother Kirk Franklin, both of us from Fort Worth, Texas, it’s just incredible. I’m just as grateful now as I was for my first No. 1. I’m honestly in amazement.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mann first reached the lead with “Take Me to the King” for 25 weeks in 2012. She has remained a consistent presence on the chart since, with No. 1s including 2017’s “Change Me” (14 weeks), 2016’s “God Provides” and her 2013 cover of MercyMe’s “I Can Only Imagine” (13 each).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mann and Franklin, who most recently reigned with “Do It Again” in November, preside over James Fortune & FIYA and Tasha Cobbs Leonard, each with 10 Gospel Airplay No. 1s, Jekalyn Carr (nine) and Zacardi Cortez (eight).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mann credits her latest leader’s connection with listeners for its chart success. “What makes a gospel song work on radio today is the message,” she says. “Speaking to what people are going through and encouraging them … I really believe it’s the words that connect and help songs become No. 1s.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As she reflects on the milestone, Mann points to the gospel voices who helped shape her path. “I think about the people who came before me — the Hawkins family, Andraé Crouch, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, the Clark Sisters. Those are the voices I grew up listening to and learning from.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You’re invited to something special from Justin Bieber,” an email containing a “unique presale purchase link” sent to select fans ahead of the show read, according to a screenshot shared to Instagram. “This is a private, invite-only experience — please keep this strictly confidential. Any public sharing may result in the invite being revoked.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bieber’s Roxy show offered fans the opportunity to not just see Bieber play his <em>Swag</em> material — but to see him play, period. While Bieber made a proper return to the stage following a four-year hiatus at the Grammys on Feb. 1, his recent touring history has been marred by delays and cancellations. A world tour that was announced shortly before COVID was ultimately scuttled, and just a few months after he eventually hit the road in February 2022, Bieber cancelled the remainder of the outing, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/justin-bieber-face-paralysis-ramsay-hunt-syndrome-video-1235085836/">sharing a diagnosis</a> of Type 2 Ramsay Hunt syndrome that prevented him from performing. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Since then, Bieber’s stage appearances have been limited, with an appearance at Rolling Loud Las Vegas in March 2023, where he performed “Private Landing” with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/don-toliver/">Don Toliver</a>, and at Coachella 2024, where he appeared as a surprise guest during <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tems/">Tems</a>’ set to perform his remix of her <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/wizkid/">Wizkid</a> collaboration “Essence.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	His show at the Roxy, then, marked a return to playing full sets — and was a surprise for more than just the fans who were invited. Coachella is known for its strict radius clause — the contractual language that prevents artists booked for Coachella from performing around Southern California in the months leading up to the festival. But the festival’s radius clause isn’t as ironclad as it may seem, and workarounds are not entirely unheard of. The Roxy, for instance, is operated by Goldenvoice — the same promoter that puts on Coachella each year, providing some corporate cover for the show. (<em>Billboard</em> has reached out to Justin Bieber and Goldenvoice for comment.) </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But how exactly did Bieber play The Roxy so close to his scheduled Coachella dates? <em>Billboard</em> spoke with several industry professionals who broke it down.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What is the point of a radius clause?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Radius clauses designate the specific area around a festival’s location within which artists are not allowed to perform ahead of a festival date, so as not to cannibalize the market by drawing potential festivalgoers to separate headlining shows rather than the festival. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“In layman’s terms, a radius clause is a protection both in miles and in location, within which an artist can or can’t perform,” <strong>Jay Moss</strong>, senior vp and agent at The Team (formerly known as Wasserman) tells <em>Billboard</em>. “Festivals do it to protect the integrity of their event, and make sure they’re getting talent that no one else is getting.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>When radius clauses are in effect, what time and distance might they specify?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Coachella’s radius clause reportedly prevents artists from performing shows in or around Southern California from Dec. 15 to May 1 (the exact time frame can vary from year-to-year). Festival radius clauses often span 250 miles — and Coachella’s is known to be stricter than most. That can be an easy workaround in more remote states that are primarily made up of secondary markets, but proves fairly restrictive in major markets or festivals based in cities like New York or Chicago. Ultimately, a radius clause varies by contract.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I don’t think there’s a standard; every [festival] has different ones,” says <strong>Jake Bernstein</strong>, vp of music at The Team. “Some are 300 miles for 180 days before and 60 days after. Some are 250 miles. It just varies. Everyone’s got their own. I think the smart promoters look into who’s coming to their festival, and they look at their data on ticket buyers and make their radiuses by that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Why do promoters want radius clauses?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	If a major act announces a headline show near their festival, it can lead to slower ticket sales for the festival itself, and promoters count on that act’s fan base to purchase passes. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It keeps the artist out of the market for a certain time and makes their festival a little more special,” Bernstein says. “That way the artist won’t be in whatever mileage of region or states in a certain amount of time. So, the only chance to see that artist is at that festival, as far as the fans know.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Can a radius clause benefit an artist?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The consensus is that radius clauses benefit promoters. Artists often agree to them so that they can perform at a festival — which exposes them to new audiences who then hopefully buy tickets for future headlining shows by those artists. But artists also don’t want to oversaturate fans.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You really need to plan whatever tour you’re going on to be far after the festival, on the opposite end of the year,” Bernstein says. “You can’t do a huge show in California in June after playing Coachella in April. It’s just not going to work. Besides, the fans are drained, too. They just spent the money to see you at the festival. What’s the point of playing three months later? You’re not going to play that market shortly after a festival, at least for a big show. You want the fans to be hungry to see you again.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Festivals can also be financially lucrative for artists, particularly as they oftentimes won’t need to bring in quite as much production, allowing them to save costs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How can an artist work around a radius clause?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ahead of a music festival, artists can still play shows within the specified radius, so long as they are not billed to sell tickets. Secret performances, private, invite-only events and appearing as a special guest are easy workarounds.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Managers and agents will often collaborate with a promoter while the festival deal  =is being made, explaining why an artist should perform a show within the radius. Unless a contract specifically states that artists cannot perform in any way — including appearing as a special guest or playing a secret set — then they are often able to find workarounds.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You have to work with [the festival] and ask them in advance, usually before you confirm the festival, letting them know you have certain shows on certain dates,” Bernstein says. “Sometimes they say that’s fine. Sometimes they say no, and you have to change your plans. Or sometimes, they’ll say, ‘Can you give us a little bit of a better deal on the artist? Can you do a free after-party?’ If you’re asking for clearance after you’ve confirmed or the festival has announced, it goes back to, ‘Well, will you take a little reduction? Will you do a meet-and-greet onsite? Will you do a special activation?’ It’s really just asking the question and getting ahead of it, rather than letting it go up and upsetting your partners.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Why might an artist decide to perform within the area specified by a radius clause?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For an artist like Bieber, a performance at the 500-capacity Roxy can serve as a warm-up ahead of a major festival date — especially if the festival is already sold out and its promoters no longer need to worry about selling tickets. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Any time you’re seeing an artist perform a gig such as a pop-up show or underplay that would seemingly break a typical radius clause, it’s thought out and very intentional,” says <strong>Daniel Rubin</strong>, vp of artist management at Element1 and manager for <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-band-camino/">The Band CAMINO</a>, Sawyer Hill and half•alive. “Marketing for a show or festival is very much narrative- and content-driven. An artist popping up and doing an underplay gig, whether we’re using the Bieber example at The Roxy or artists doing something special for fans in the market, it allows a little bit more context for the bigger show or festival.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bernstein adds, “It’s always going back to talking to the promoter who booked you. It’s going to them and letting them know you want to do an underplay. Sometimes, these festival promoters have their own clubs. Goldenvoice does. So, you can arrange those underplays with them. For example, [Coachella 2026 performer] <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/subtronics/">Subtronics</a> is doing the Fox Theater in Pomona [on April 14]. That is a Goldenvoice show.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Why might a festival promoter allow that?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In some cases, festival promoters may ask an artist who is booked to play their festival to perform an underplay ahead of it. Sometimes, that might be because a festival promoter has opened a new venue in the market and wants to get people through the door. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Other times, even if a festival is sold out, artists and promoters may still want to build hype for the main event. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“If it’s the same promoter, it’s obviously their choice to make if they’re going to allow an artist to do another event within the radius,” Moss says. “In [a case like Bieber’s], I’m sure it was a really big look. Coachella is sold-out, so they weren’t worried about that part of it, and it was something cool to build a lot of excitement to have the headliner of one of, if not the biggest festivals in the world, play an unbelievably small and intimate event. It probably got a lot of eyes on it, and it probably got people even more excited to see him in a couple of weeks at Coachella because of the fervor around trying to get a ticket to see him in a 500-cap space.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How common is it for artists to find workarounds for radius clauses?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s often case-by-case, with no straight-forward answer. However, sometimes an artist who’s on their way up may not want to omit a major market from their tour routing.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Radius clauses don’t just apply to festivals; they can also come up when artists have headline shows at larger venues with a promoter. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“A recent example in our world, with The Band CAMINO, is last year they had their album and a robust national tour,” Rubin says. “We came up with this idea of doing underplays in the markets they’re coming back to shortly thereafter for the main tour. While there were still some more tickets left to sell, the idea was to come to the promoter with an inspired idea that this would create a little bit of a hype machine and be additive to the big tour, which was understood and embraced by our promoter partners.” </p>

	Apple’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-apple-airpod-max-deals-1235428362/">AirPods Max headphones</a> made quite the impression when they launched in 2020, instantly attracting fans like Timothee Chalamet, Dua Lipa and JENNIE with the product’s sleek and elevated look, while earning thumbs up from tech journalists for crisp and immersive audio.</p>

		Released March 25, the new headphones features the same instantly-recognizable over-ear design as the original AirPods Max, but with improved Active Noise Cancellation technology (ANC), enhanced audio and intelligent features all powered by Apple’s H2 chipset.	</p>
	<hr>
</div>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The most impressive update is on the noise cancellation prowess of the AirPods Max 2, with Apple reporting that the new headphones “deliver ANC that’s up to 1.5x more effective than the previous generation.” You’ll notice it when you’re on a plane and the whiz and whirl of the airplane engine suddenly fades away; or when crossing an intersection in a bustling city, and the crowd and traffic noise dissipates. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I live on a second-floor unit in an apartment building located on a main road in Los Angeles, and I’ve found the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Headphones-Cancellation-Transparency-Personalized/dp/B0DGJC52FP?th=1&linkCode=ll2&tag=rs-chan-20&linkId=dc17710ce460c502299fbbb24348800c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&asc_source=feed&asc_campaign=feed&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fapple-airpods-max-2-headphones-honest-hands-on-review-1236214051%2F" target="_blank">original AirPods Max headphones</a> to be a lifesaver for when I want to put on some tunes to focus on work and not hear the honking and screeching of cars below. The AirPods Max 2 promise an <em>even more immersive </em>experience, by detecting and canceling out background noise before it even hits your ears.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Of course if you still need to pay attention to your environment — I.e. in the office or when walking in traffic — you can set the cups to Transparency Mode, which filters in some natural sounds, so you’re not completely unaware or zoned out to what (<em>or who</em>) is around you. Voice Isolation technology automatically moves your voice to the forefront during calls, while blocking out ambient noise. And if you’re listening to a playlist or podcast, Apple’s Adaptive Audio feature automatically adjusts the noise cancellation levels depending on how noisy your environment is, so there’s always a balance of music with organic outside sounds. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A new feature we like is “Conversation Awareness,” which automatically lowers the volume of what’s playing in your ears, to make it easier to hear and talk to those around you.</p>

	<p class="product-card__description">
		Music-wise, the AirPods Max 2 continue to support Spatial Audio, for a more natural-sounding listening experience, and lossless audio, which lets you stream the highest-quality tracks. Apple says a new high dynamic range amplifier offers “even cleaner audio,” and you can also personalize your headphones to suit your ear shape and the way your head moves, so that music is always directed at you, rather than say, floating off somewhere in the distance.	</p>
	<hr>
</div>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	One other new feature we like: Live Translation, which does exactly as the name suggests, by letting you read or listen to an English-language translation of a conversation when you are talking to someone who’s using another language. The same feature is available in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/apple-airpods-pro-3-review-features-price-buy-online-1236072526/">Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 model</a>, which I tested last fall, and while it took me a bit of time to set up Live Translation (mostly making sure my phone was updated), once I got it to work, it was pretty intuitive.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The AirPods Max 2 retain the same premium look and feel as its predecessor, with the flexible mesh headband for breathability and cushy, pillow-like earpads for comfort (Apple has also upped their sustainability efforts by using 100% recycled polyester in the ear cushion). What I liked: you won’t sweat through these headphones, even when wearing for long periods of time. And as someone who wears glasses, I found that the headband wasn’t squeezing my temples in at all. The exterior has the clean and minimalist look I love, and Apple has these headphones <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Headphones-Cancellation-Personalized-Translation/dp/B0GSS6F226?crid=2C2UVC466BNS4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KkTo7ZrRaBZIz7pwNy87G0MuNx6LJwlVs6p_NEZkRMy_U_e2opPnob_3OuOz_4YCfQY6pfH8a8g14zNrxWzbsWDF4jDBa8HPy1G2lorn-ohecJ6X5i8-kGSh1YDfz29DECarGtj3hhfv74BlK_x_CuNFPwWqQ-9-24j6JMmNOx9TedH0W7CSGcpz_oUrSdWYFuzo03yfxjnDcm0X__lYv85iQc822VrRhlVyosJW5xE.7RAgyk7b1MYbJIb6mtj6zGvK3I5YrLU4MNgKZCXdaY4&dib_tag=se&keywords=airpods%2Bmax%2B2&qid=1775155557&sprefix=airpods%2Bmax%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-3&th=1&linkCode=ll2&tag=billboard0ad-20&linkId=eeb5c52358f4b4a589edcb5f2ff6e8ee&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&asc_source=feed&asc_campaign=feed&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fapple-airpods-max-2-headphones-honest-hands-on-review-1236214051%2F" target="_blank">available in five colors online,</a> including the orange colorway that was so popular with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/iphone-17-t-mobile-trade-in-deals-shop-online-1236078196/">users of the iPhone 17</a>.</p>

	The AirPods Max 2 wireless headphones are available to purchase online now with a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Headphones-Cancellation-Personalized-Translation/dp/B0GSS6F226?crid=2C2UVC466BNS4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KkTo7ZrRaBZIz7pwNy87G0MuNx6LJwlVs6p_NEZkRMy_U_e2opPnob_3OuOz_4YCfQY6pfH8a8g14zNrxWzbsWDF4jDBa8HPy1G2lorn-ohecJ6X5i8-kGSh1YDfz29DECarGtj3hhfv74BlK_x_CuNFPwWqQ-9-24j6JMmNOx9TedH0W7CSGcpz_oUrSdWYFuzo03yfxjnDcm0X__lYv85iQc822VrRhlVyosJW5xE.7RAgyk7b1MYbJIb6mtj6zGvK3I5YrLU4MNgKZCXdaY4&dib_tag=se&keywords=airpods%2Bmax%2B2&qid=1775155557&sprefix=airpods%2Bmax%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-3&th=1&linkCode=ll2&tag=billboard0ad-20&linkId=eeb5c52358f4b4a589edcb5f2ff6e8ee&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&asc_source=feed&asc_campaign=feed&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fapple-airpods-max-2-headphones-honest-hands-on-review-1236214051%2F" target="_blank">suggested retail price of $549</a>. In my opinion, Apple’s got another winner on its hands, with the AirPods Max 2 offering that perfect balance of audio and aesthetics, to deliver another pair of headphones that will be topping everybody’s must-have list this year.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/courtney-love/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Courtney Love</a> says she’s cool with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dave-grohl/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dave Grohl</a> — but she also has a small bone to pick with the Foo Fighters frontman.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While appearing on an episode of <em>The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan</em> posted Wednesday, the Hole rocker was characteristically blunt when addressing the former Nirvana bandmate of her late husband, Kurt Cobain. “Grohl, come out with it and just say we’re cool,” she said. “Be man enough.”</p>

	“Man up, because you’re the uber man that has all the straight males,” she continued to Corgan. “And we’re cool, but you won’t say it, because you’re afraid you’ll lose your audience. You’re afraid it’ll affect your relationship with literal Paul McCartney … Dave, it would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base would stop picking on me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Love also called out the drummer for allegedly writing several songs about her. “I couldn’t write a song about Dave Grohl to save my life,” she said. “He’s written, like, four songs about me, and they’re hits. I’m like, ‘Wait what?'”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Testing new waters, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/grupo-firme">Grupo Firme</a> makes its mariachi debut with their latest single, “Cabrón y Medio,” premiering exclusively on<em> Billboard</em> today (April 2). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Co-produced by Joss Favela and Ricardo Orrantía, the Música Mexicana group steers away from its signature banda style that’s typically fast-paced, danceable and brass-heavy, and steps into the traditional mariachi realm powered by weeping violins, guitars, vihuela and guitarrón.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lyrically, “Cabrón y Medio,” which can loosely be translated as “bastard and a half,” is about reflecting on a long-lost love. “What was it that happened to us?/ It is clear to me that you want nothing to do with me/ As for me, I’m still here/ thinking of you with every breath,” vocalist Eduin Caz effortlessly sings with his crisp and passionate powerhouse vocals. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Furthermore, “the song paints a picture of emotional vulnerability, where even a few drinks blur the line between memory and reality, making it feel as though that special person is still close by,” according to a press statement. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The music video, helmed by Mane Borja, shows Caz in a polished traditional charro suit as scenes of a broken family play in the background. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Cabrón y Medio” comes in the midst of Grupo Firme currently on its La Última Peda Tour across South and Central America. It’s also the band’s first solo release of 2026, following a streak of notable collaborations including “Súfrale” with Gloria Trevi, “Modo Difícil” with Grupo Frontera, “Que Te Quieran Bonito” with Luis Alfonso Partida “El Yaki” and “Ctrl + Z” with Lenin Ramírez. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Watch the music video for “Cabrón y Medio” first on <em>Billboard</em> below.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’ve ever made an ad for your music and thought, “This should be working better than it is,” you’re not alone.</p>
<p>Most weak ads don’t fail because the song is bad. They fail because the ad is confusing.</p>
<p>Too many artists treat one ad like it needs to do everything at once. They try to promote the song, explain the story, show off their brand, mention the release date, plug their social handles, and squeeze in a quote for good measure. The result is usually a cluttered ad that asks too much from the person seeing it.</p>
<p>A compelling ad does the opposite.</p>
<p>It makes one clear point, in one clear way, and makes it easy for the viewer to take the next step.</p>
<p>ReverbNation’s Promote It tool is built around that kind of simplicity. Artists can promote a song, album, show, video, website, or Facebook page using a few core creative elements rather than building a complicated campaign from scratch.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Great ads are easy to understand</strong></h4>
<p>The best ads make sense quickly.</p>
<p>When someone sees your ad, they should be able to figure out a few things almost instantly:</p>
<p>Who is this from?<br>What is this about?<br>Why should I care?<br>What should I do next?</p>
<p>If any of that feels muddy, the ad gets weaker fast.</p>
<p>That matters because nobody is carefully studying your ad. They’re scrolling. You usually have a second or two to make the case.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>One ad, one job</strong></h4>
<p>Here’s one of the best rules in advertising:</p>
<p><strong>A good ad does one thing.</strong></p>
<p>Maybe that thing is getting someone to:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>listen to your song<br></li>
<li>watch your video<br></li>
<li>click to your page<br></li>
<li>check out your show</li>
</ul>
<p>That’s enough.</p>
<p>The moment you ask one ad to do five jobs, it usually stops doing any of them well.</p>
<p>This is one reason ad creation tools like Promote It work best when the creative matches a single, clear purpose. ReverbNation’s Promote It guidance emphasizes choosing what you want to promote first, then building the ad around that one objective.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The 3 ingredients of a compelling ad</strong></h3>
<p>Most strong ads have three basic parts:</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. <strong>A visual that grabs attention</strong></h4>
<p>Something clean, bold, and easy to understand.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. <strong>A message that creates interest</strong></h4>
<p>A headline that gives people a reason to care.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. <strong>A next step that feels obvious</strong></h4>
<p>Listen now. Watch the video. Learn more.</p>
<p>That’s really the formula.</p>
<p>You don’t need to sound like an ad expert. You don’t need a complicated design. You don’t need to pack every detail into the creative.</p>
<p>You just need to make the ad easy to get.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why simplicity wins</strong></h4>
<p>A lot of artists think adding more information makes an ad stronger.</p>
<p>Usually, it does the opposite.</p>
<p>More text creates friction. More visuals create clutter. More ideas create confusion.</p>
<p>Stronger ads are edited. They leave space for the eye to focus. They choose one message and let it breathe.</p>
<p>So when you’re building an ad, the smartest question often isn’t, “What else should I add?”</p>
<p>It’s: <strong>What can I remove?</strong></p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What compelling really means</strong></h4>
<p>A compelling ad isn’t the loudest ad. It’s the clearest one.</p>
<p>It catches attention with a strong visual, gives the viewer one focused message, and makes the next action obvious. If your ad does those three things well, you’re already ahead of most DIY music ads.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.jackharlow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jack Harlow</a> is from Louisville, Kentucky, and started performing and releasing music in 2015, when he was in high school. In 2020, he released <a href="https://album.link/s/5g2INX6dnMIJG0xKygXwF3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">his first album</a>, which went double platinum. He was <a href="https://www.grammy.com/artists/jack-harlow/287276" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Performance</a>. He’s had multiple number one hits across his first three albums. For his fourth album, <a href="https://jackharlow.lnk.to/Monica" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Monica</em></a>, which just came out in March 2026, he switched things up dramatically. I was curious how and why-how did someone who had so much success as a rapper approach a new way of making music? So for this episode, I spoke to Jack Harlow about the song <a href="https://song.link/s/2DXZpuKsRuC3I3bpV7YTv6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Say Hello,”</a> which is the closing track on <em>Monica.</em></p>

	The longtime friends behind New York dance events company Teksupport are no longer getting along — and now they’re messily litigating the terms of a business divorce.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Rob Toma </strong>and <strong>Mike Vitacco</strong> are the co-founders of TCE Presents, which owns the warehouse venue Brooklyn Storehouse and produces dance events through the brand Teksupport. Toma has always been the company’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/features/rob-toma-teksupport-new-york-city-founder-1235543821/">public face</a> and talent booking whiz, while Vitacco is the behind-the-scenes force responsible for the company’s logistics and finances.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But the partnership recently took a turn for the worse, and Toma and Vitacco have now brought dueling lawsuits against each other in New Jersey court. Each man accuses the other of unlawfully pushing him out of TCE.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Toma sued first in early February, alleging Vitacco conspired with TCE’s longtime lawyer to usurp control of the business. Toma said he discovered in the fall of 2025 that Vitacco had secretly transferred ownership interests to his mother as part of an alleged conspiracy, and their relationship has since “deteriorated to the point of no return.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Defendants knowingly and intentionally conspired and acted in concert to perpetuate a fraudulent scheme against plaintiff, with the common purpose of mismanaging TCE, effectuating an invalid transfer of membership interests, concealing material facts from plaintiff, and depriving plaintiff of rightful economic benefits, control and oversight as a minority member,” reads Toma’s legal complaint.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Vitacco countersued later in February with a different story. He alleged that Toma has actually been trying to force <em>him </em>out since mid-2025 with an “an increasingly aggressive, irrational and totalitarian plan for consolidating authority.” Vitacco claimed Toma was “driving TCE into certain destruction” and planning to either embark on a new solo endeavor or take the company’s events to Ibiza-based competitor Pacha, which recently began managing the Brooklyn Mirage venue in New York.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Toma has represented to multiple high-level contacts within the industry that he is going to work for Pacha,” reads Vitacco’s countersuit. “While preparing to join TCE’s competitor Pacha, Toma has simultaneously spread unauthorized information about Brooklyn Storehouse, prematurely informing people in the industry that the venue is closing. Upon information and belief, Toma is intentionally attempting to damage TCE and redirect TCE business opportunities to its competitors for his own personal gain.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Both men asked a New Jersey judge to immediately restrict the other’s management activities. Vitacco won this first bout of the legal battle, with Judge Thomas D. McCloskey entering a temporary restraining order in early March barring Toma from diverting away TCE business or locking out Vitacco while the litigation plays out.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Wednesday (March 25), Judge McCloskey further extended that temporary restraining order against Toma and rejected his request for comparable relief against Vitacco. The judge also ordered the two men to try to settle their differences amicably with a mediation session within the next month.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	If Toma and Vitacco are unable to reach a settlement, the case will head toward a trial to decide the future of TCE. Both co-founders are asking a judge to make them the company’s sole owner, and each is also requesting financial damages from the other — Toma for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, civil conspiracy, breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and Vitacco for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of company assets, conversion and breach of contract.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Vitacco’s attorney, <strong>Daniel Guadalupe</strong>, told <em>Billboard </em>following Wednesday’s hearing that they’re “delighted with the court’s ruling” regarding the temporary restraints against Toma.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We are hopeful that the extension of these restraints will persuade Mr. Toma to collaborate and cooperate in operating the companies and not do anything to harm the business or harm our client Mike Vitacco,” said Guadalupe. “We look forward to having discussions to resolve this matter, and if it doesn’t get resolved we are ready willing and able to continue protecting our clients.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A rep for Toma declined to comment on the dispute.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Umamusume: Cinderella Gray</em> is a spinoff manga from the <em>Umamusume: Pretty Derby</em> franchise, centered on fan-favorite character Oguri Cap. The series was adapted into an anime series last year, and this 23rd volume serves as the last in the manga version. The title topped the e-book metric this week while also placing at No. 6 in brick-and-mortar sales and No. 16 in e-commerce (EC).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yama Wayama’s <em>Famiresu Iko</em>. Part 2 holds at No. 2 with three metrics inside the top 20: No. 2 in brick-and-mortar sales, No. 7 in e-books, and No. 13 in e-commerce. After topping the chart twice in a row, Eiichiro Oda’s <em>ONE PIECE</em> Vol. 114 stays within the the top 3, extending its brick-and-mortar streak at No. 1 to three consecutive weeks. The digital edition is scheduled for release Apr. 3. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In other chart news, the translated version of Andy Weir’s <em>Project Hail Mary</em> — the Hollywood film adaptation starring Ryan Gosling opened in Japanese cinemas Mar. 20 — jumps back into the top 20 at No. 16. The title lands at No. 3 on the social media metric and scores points across all five tracked metrics: brick-and-mortar, EC, e-books, and subscriptions.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 is a comprehensive chart combining physical sales, e-books, library loans, subscription data and social media activity. Below is the top 10 titles on this week’s list, tracking the period from Mar. 16 to Mar. 22.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Training season’s back on. As <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://deadline.com/2026/03/dua-lipa-joins-peaked-comedy-a24-1236766849/"><em>Deadline</em></a> first reported and <em>Billboard</em> has confirmed<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://deadline.com/2026/03/dua-lipa-joins-peaked-comedy-a24-1236766849/">,</a><a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dua-lipa/"> Dua Lipa</a> has notched another film role, as the English pop star is set to star in A24’s <em>Peaked</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Directed by Molly Gordon, Lipa will appear alongside a cast that already boasts Emma Mackey, Connor Storrie, Laura Dern, Amy Sedaris, Gabby Windey, Jaya Harper, Owen Thiele, Simone Ashley, Levon Hawke and Mitra Jouhari. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The comedy will reportedly go into production in April. Details of the Grammy-winning singer’s role in the movie are currently unknown. Per <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35667402/">IMDB</a>, <em>Peaked</em>‘s plot centers around two girls who terrorized people in high school, but are trying to relive their glory days at the school’s 10-year reunion.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Dua Lipa previously featured as Mermaid Barbie in 2023’s <em>Barbie</em> blockbuster, and followed up with the role of LaGrange in <em>Argylle</em> a year later, where she played Henry Cavill’s love interest. The singer lent “Dance the Night” to the <em>Barbie </em>soundtrack, which netted her a top 10 <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100 </a>hit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I loved being on set,” Lipa told <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://time.com/6965325/dua-lipa-interview-time100-2024/"><em>TIME</em></a> earlier this year. “I love the idea of embodying a different character and having an assignment. I also love when I go to a photo shoot, and I can completely change up my look. It gives me like a different persona.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The 30-year-old has yet to release a single in 2026, as fans await Lipa kicking off the rollout of her fourth studio album. In February, Lipa collaborated with Danny L Harle for “Two Hearts,” which landed on the British producer’s <em>Cerulean</em> album.</p>

	In the episode posted Thursday (March 26), Duff coughed, cried, sniffled and lost her train of thought a few different times while battling the <em>Hot Ones</em> sauces, but she still managed to share which elements of her actual adolescent life paralleled what her iconic character was going through on <em>Lizzie McGuire</em> in real time. The main one? “Bra shopping,” she told Evans without hesitation.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I think a lot of the themes of the episodes were actually happening in my life as well — social dynamics and stuff within my friend groups outside of work,” Duff continued. “It’s so nice to hear people’s experience with the show or, like, how it helped them or formed them. Whether it be, like, her style or not quite fitting in anywhere. And I also kind of resonate with that. I feel like a very big dork, dressed in a cool girl’s outfit a lot of the time.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	More than two decades after the Disney Channel show wrapped in 2004, Duff said she still feels like a child star at heart as she embarks on her musical comeback. Ten years after her last LP, the performer finally dropped a new album — <em>Luck … or Something</em>, which debuted at No. 3 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> — in February, but promoting the project has looked a lot different from when she first began releasing music in the 2000s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The fact that I have many, many memories of being at <em>TRL</em> is a part of my personality,” Duff told Evans. “There would be the same song on the <em>TRL</em> charts for, like, weeks after weeks after weeks after weeks. And can you imagine kids dealing with that kind of length in this day and age?”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“But I’m also loving a TikTok trend,” she added. “Actually, my hair and makeup [team], they’re dear friends of mine, and they’ll be like, ‘This is the trend we’re doing today,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, I’ll do anything!’ I’m still a child actor inside, wanting to please.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	By the end of the episode, Duff was fully in tears, at one point calling the tactile experience of the spice in her mouth a “hellhole.” Before she left, however, she made sure to call out her upcoming <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/hilary-duff-lucky-tour-dates-2026-2027-lucky-me-tour-1236178669/">Lucky Me world tour</a>, which kicks off in June and runs through next February.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The report attributes this result to an increase in the offering of concerts and festivals, as well as the consolidation of large-scale formats, particularly in high-capacity venues. According to the document, this growth coexists with structural challenges such as administrative processes, differences in criteria across territories and the impact of ticket reselling on the perception of ticket prices.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyond musical activity, the report highlights the impact of live events on sectors such as tourism, hospitality and commerce. In this vein, the APM has begun developing a national economic impact report to provide data for dialogue with administrations.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Geographically, the Community of Madrid regained the top spot with revenues of €237.1 million (29.4%), followed by Catalonia, with €163.2 million (20.2%) and Andalusia with €108.7 million (13.5%), which, despite remaining in third place, recorded a 6.4% drop in annual revenue.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the national tours category, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/joaquin-sabina/">Joaquín Sabina</a> topped the ranking with Hola y Adiós (The Project, Get In, Riff), selling 383,633 tickets across 41 concerts, all of which were sold out. He was followed by <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/manuel-carrasco/">Manuel Carrasco</a> with Tour Salvaje (Riff), which sold 367,256 tickets across 31 shows, and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/antonio-orozco/">Antonio Orozco</a> with “La Gira de Mi Vida” (Clipper’s Music Group), with 170,378 tickets across 32 concerts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/aitana/">Aitana</a> became the first woman to enter the top 10 of the national ranking with her Metamorfosis Season tour (GTS, Clipper’s Music Group), which sold 153,198 tickets across three concerts. The report also notes that several artists surpassed 50,000 tickets sold per concert, concentrating demand on a limited number of dates.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the international artists category, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ed-sheeran/">Ed Sheeran</a> led the ranking with 137,884 tickets sold across two concerts in Madrid (Mercury Wheels @ Live Nation), followed by <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/imagine-dragons/">Imagine Dragons</a> (Live Nation) with 112,419 tickets and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ac-dc/">AC/DC</a> (Gay Mercader/Live Nation) with 103,946. Festivals also represented a significant portion of live music activity in 2025, according to the report. Among cycle festivals, Icónica Santalucía Sevilla Fest (Seville, Green Cow Music) led with 276,601 tickets sold across 28 dates, followed by Marenostrum Fuengirola (Fuengirola, Fox Group) with 191,573 tickets across 35 concerts and Noches del Botánico (Madrid, Serious Fan Music) with 185,753 attendees across 50 dates.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the macro-festivals segment, Arenal Sound (Burriana, The Music Republic) remained the largest event with 300,000 attendees, followed by Primavera Sound Barcelona (Barcelona, Primavera Sound) with 297,000 and Viña Rock (Villarrobledo, The Music Republic) with 240,000. With these results, live music in Spain surpassed €700 million in revenue for the second consecutive year and reached a new record of over €800 million, according to the APM report.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Following Kendrick’s explosive verse on “Like That,” Cole felt the pressure to respond. However, he wanted to land a few jabs and not do any permanent damage to his relationship with Lamar, while still feeding rap fans’ appetites for war. </p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Let me say just enough to where it looks like I said something. Everything I’m saying to him, I know and he knows it’s all survivable. It’s nothing,” he said. “I’m not hitting him with no fatal blows, but it’ll be just enough to be like, ‘Alright n—a, you said what you said, now you gonna come back.’ I know, this is my man, he gonna come back. He gonna say something. Give me a line or two, and I’m gonna be like, ‘You got that, cool. Now let’s get to this album, and really f—k them up.'”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When “7 Minute Drill” ultimately arrived in April 2024, Cole underestimated the attention the diss track would receive and the tensions it would raise with Kendrick. He felt he “misrepresented” himself and was “fraudulent” about how he went about responding, caving to fan pressure.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The second it comes out, I’m seeing right away what I did. Instantly, what I did was divided off rip. You created a divided line,” he explained. “You forcing the world to pick a side. If they f—k with you, they gotta slander him. They taking what you said and they giving it gas. Then my thoughts, ‘I done f—ked up. I misrepresented myself.’ My intention was some bulls—t.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cole then made the analogy comparing the intended damage of his Kendrick diss to shooting someone in the toe. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The North Carolina rap legend was immediately filled with regret, which led to him <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/j-cole-removes-kendrick-lamar-diss-7-minute-drill-streaming-services-1235655544/">scrubbing “7 Minute Drill” </a>from streaming services<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/j-cole-removes-kendrick-lamar-diss-7-minute-drill-streaming-services-1235655544/"> </a>days later and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/j-cole-regrets-kendrick-lamar-diss-7-minute-drill-1235651302/">apologizing to Lamar</a> on stage at Dreamville Fest. This all cleared the way for <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/drake">Drake</a> to step in and battle Kendrick later in April 2024.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Elsewhere in Cam and Cole’s chat, Cole revealed that Lamar originally<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/j-cole-kendrick-lamar-the-fall-off-1236206089/"> </a>had a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/j-cole-kendrick-lamar-the-fall-off-1236206089/">pair of features </a>on an earlier version of<em> The Fall-Off</em>, which he pivoted from following the aforementioned events.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Watch the full interview below. Talk about Kendrick and “7 Minute Drill” takes place around the 46-minute mark. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The news was announced by producer Louie Shelton early Thursday morning (March 26), shortly after which a member of Crofts’ family confirmed it to <em><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/26/dash-crofts-dead/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">TMZ</a></em>. “Sad to hear our dear brother and partner in music has passed away today,” Shelton wrote on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/louie.shelton.5/posts/pfbid0NfsekJPMcf6uu4gBcebn3rLEsMJXKDGjjmYBx6SCRiEsVKLf9TS3Y5r9SnswJMsfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Facebook</a>. “Sending love and prayers to all his family and many fans. R.I.P. my brother…..Dash Crofts.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The “Summer Breeze” hitmaker — whose was born Darrell George Crofts on Aug. 14, 1940 — died Wednesday (March 25) from heart failure, as shared by his daughter Lua, according to <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/arts/music/dash-crofts-dead.html">The New York Times</a></em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	His passing comes about four years after former bandmate <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/jim-seals-dead-seals-and-crofts-1235083594/">Jim Seals died</a> in 2020 at the age of 80. Together, Seals and Crofts scored a number of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> hits, including top 10 singles “Summer Breeze” (No. 6, 1972), “Diamond Girl” (No. 6, 1973) and “Get Closer” featuring Carolyn Willis (No. 6, 1976). One of their most controversial tracks, “Unborn Child” — an anti-abortion song released the year after the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court verdict in 1973 — reached No. 66.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Both Texas natives, the two men had known each other since they were teenagers. Before their success as a duo, Seals and Crofts were members of the rock band The Champs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The pair also had success on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> albums chart. In 1972, <em>Summer Breeze </em>reached No. 7, after which <em>Diamond Girl </em>peaked at No. 4 in 1973. Seals and Crofts parted ways in 1980, but they would briefly reunite in the late ’80s/early ’90s, and again in 2004.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Crofts is survived by his wife, Louise Crofts, three children and eight grandchildren. </p>

		<strong>‘Choosin</strong>‘ ‘<strong> Different No. 1s</strong>	</h2>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Hi Gary,</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Until <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ella-langley/">Ella Langley</a>’s current run of two consecutive weeks topping the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> with “Choosin’ Texas” (of its four total weeks at No. 1), for six chart weeks in a row, from Feb. 7 through March 14, No. 1 songs failed to repeat in back-to-back weeks:</p>



<div class="container // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Feb. 7: “Aperture,” Harry Styles</li>



<li>Feb. 14: “Choosin’ Texas,” Ella Langley</li>



<li>Feb. 21: “DtMF,” Bad Bunny</li>



<li>Feb. 28: “Opalite,” Taylor Swift</li>



<li>March 7: “Choosin’ Texas,” Ella Langley</li>



<li>March 14: “I Just Might,” Bruno Mars</li>
</ul>
</div>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	(That stretch followed the first two weeks at No. 1, consecutively from its debut, for “I Just Might.”)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I was curious how often this kind of change has occurred. So, I looked through the chart’s archives and, while rare, it seems to be happening more often in the past few years. I would imagine that it’s likely tied to the increasing phenomenon of songs debuting at No. 1? Not only would that help explain the turnover, but those songs often tend to spend only their debut weeks in the top spot.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Thanks,</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jesse Rifkin<br>Washington, D.C.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Thanks, Jesse.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwlFWWGaZ5Y" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tate McRae called it.</a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	(Revolving doors are fun, aren’t they? Almost no work, no germs. Swinging doors, too, very old-timey. How about a <a href="https://landofthelost.fandom.com/wiki/The_Search" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">time doorway</a>? Much less common.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	You’re correct that such switchover atop the Hot 100 isn’t particularly frequent historically, although on the rise this decade. Prior to the six-week streak of non-repeating No. 1s until the past two weeks, the chart hosted five-week runs in March-April 2021, December 2020-January 2021 and May-June 2020, making for four periods of five weeks or more just more than halfway through the decade.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That’s twice the total occurrences in the 2010s, when five-week runs were linked in 2010 and 2018.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The latest stretch in February-March matched the longest for Hot 100 hits not holding at No. 1 in more than 16 years:</p>

<div class="container // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
<ul class="wp-block-list">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	(As with “Choosin’ Texas” this year, the weeks above also sport songs yo-yoing at No. 1 in Jay Sean and Owl City’s hits.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Prior to fall 2009, no such six-week makeovers atop the Hot 100 had occurred since September-November 1990. The last to go even longer? A seven-week run that brought notable variety to No. 1 the year before:</p>



<div class="container // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

<li>July 8: “Good Thing,” Fine Young Cannibals</li>

	Going back further, likewise no No. 1s repeated for seven straight weeks in June-July 1977, following a six-week run that April-May and a seven-week streak in December 1975-January 1976.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The longest example of Hot 100 No. 1s not staying at the summit? For 12 weeks more than half a century ago, chart watchers (and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/casey-kasem-the-man-who-made-countdowns-coast-to-coast-6121429/">Casey Kasem</a> and writers) celebrated these enduring single-week leaders:</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jan. 18, 1975: “Mandy,” Barry Manilow</li>



<li>Jan. 25: “Please Mr. Postman,” Carpenters</li>



<li>Feb. 1: “Laughter in the Rain,” Neil Sedaka</li>



<li>Feb. 8: “Fire,” Ohio Players</li>



<li>Feb. 15: “You’re No Good,” Linda Ronstadt</li>



<li>Feb. 22: “Pick Up the Pieces,” AWB</li>



<li>March 1: “Best of My Love,” Eagles</li>



<li>March 8: “Have You Never Been Mellow,” Olivia Newton-John</li>



<li>March 15: “Black Water,” The Doobie Brothers</li>



<li>March 22: “My Eyes Adored You,” Frankie Valli</li>



<li>March 29: “Lady Marmalade,” Labelle</li>



<li>April 5: “Lovin’ You,” Minnie Riperton</li>
</ul>
</div>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The only other streaks of songs not retaining No. 1 for five weeks were in 1974 (twice) and 1961.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	All of which is to say that Hot 100 No. 1s historically tend to stay in charge for more than a week: perhaps surprisingly, at a 64% majority among all 1,189 leaders dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, start.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Still, as you observed, Jesse, more turnover atop the chart is on the upswing. To recap, here’s a breakdown by decade of runs of five-plus consecutive frames with songs not repeating at No. 1 week to week:</p>



<div class="container // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>2020s: four</li>



<li>‘10s: two</li>



<li>‘00s: one</li>



<li>1990s: one</li>



<li>‘80s: one</li>



<li>‘70s: six</li>



<li>‘60s: one</li>
</ul>
</div>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	1974-77 was an especially lively time atop the Hot 100, with this decade the closest comp. Modern No. 1 debuts, as noted above, by their nature draw first-week streaming totals that can be difficult to maintain until radio reach catches up. In the recent six-week window, that was the case for Styles’ “Aperture.” Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” then led around spikes for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl-boosted “DtMF,” a physical sales surge for Swift’s “Opalite” and the release of Mars’ album, <em>The Romantic</em>, which helped send “I Just Might” back to No. 1 (with halftime shows and the sudden release of new product not viable or largely practiced strategies in prior eras).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Timing simply plays a factor, too, as with many chart achievements. In 2009, for instance, prior to the six-week streak cited above, the Black Eyed Peas dominated the Hot 100 for a record 26 consecutive weeks, thanks to “I Gotta Feeling” (14 weeks) and “Boom Boom Pow” (12).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Meanwhile, six of the seven <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/hot-100-number-1-songs-on-top-longest/">longest-leading</a> Hot 100 No. 1s have run up their reigns in the past decade, despite the increase of hits not staying at the top in back-to-back weeks.</p>



	<h2 class="heading larva //   a-font-secondary-fancy-xl   ">
		<strong>A Hot 100</strong>	</h2>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Hi Gary,</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fun with adjacent Hot 100 song titles this week:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No. 79, “Secondhand”<br>No. 80, “Plastic Cigarettes”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Eek, all that smoke.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pablo Nelson<br>Oakland, Calif.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Thanks, Pablo.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And on Pop Airplay:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No. 34, “Go!,” Cortis<br>No. 35, “Go,” BLACKPINK</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

				<div class="pmc-paywall"><p><em>Billboard</em>‘s first Dance Power Players list <a href="https://www.billboard.com/p/billboard-dance-power-players-2026-list-executives/">in seven years</a> made waves near the shores of South Beach on Wednesday (March 25) as honorees gathered to toast the accomplishment.</p>
<p>With the list honoring some of the most powerful people in the global dance music industry, the packed room was a who’s who of the scene and the people who make it go, with executives from Atlantic, Virgin, Casasblanca, EMPIRE, Warner, Ninja Tune, Beatport, Apple, Amazon, The Orchard, Ultra Records, Silqscreen, Prodigy Artists, The Circuit Group, AlphaTheta, LabelWorx, Meta, <em>Billboard</em> editors and a host of other assorted dance world emissaries mingling throughout the night.</p>
<p>The party happened at the chic Little Torch bar at newly renovated The Shelborne By Proper Hotel, with the vibe-setting not only accomplished by the luxe atmosphere and flowing cocktails, but the music of Miami DJ Jovigibs, who played a host of dance classics including Sylvester’s eternal “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” keeping the energy high from start to finish.</p>
<p>The night also saw a swirl of glamour via the artists in the room, with legendary dance vocalist Kiesza hanging during the night and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bebe-rexha/">Bebe Rexha</a> also making a grand entrance.</p>
<p>The space was of course stocked with <em>Billboard</em> issues containing the Dance Power Players list, with the cover star of the issue being dance world phenomenon Mau P. The Dance Power Players party happened amid Miami Music Week, a key dance industry gathering that brings much of the world’s dance music community to Miami for days of panel discussions, meetings, parties, afterparties and after after parties, with the week culminating in this weekend’s Ultra Music Festival.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/anitta/">Anitta</a> is set to make her highly anticipated debut as the musical guest on <em>Saturday Night Live</em> on April 11, NBC announced Thursday (March 26). The Brazilian superstar, internationally renowned for her <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> hits such as “Envolver,” “Me Gusta” featuring Cardi B and Myke Towers and “Bellakeo” with Peso Pluma, will take Studio 8H stage for the first time, adding another feat to her growing list of achievements.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sharing the spotlight with the Rio de Janeiro star on this episode is Emmy Award-winning actor Colman Domingo, who will be making his <em>SNL</em> hosting debut. Domingo, celebrated for his powerful performances in <em>Euphoria</em> and <em>Fear the Walking Dead</em>, will star in the upcoming drama <em>Michael</em>, set to hit theaters on April 24.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Anitta has been a trailblazing force in bringing Brazilian music to the global stage. From her viral reggaetón hit “Envolver” — which took the world by storm in 2022 and earned her multiple <em>Billboard </em>chart placements, including No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs — to her unforgettable performances at major festivals such as Coachella, she continues to break barriers as one of Brazil’s most prominent musical exports.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Grammy-nominated artist recently dropped her latest single, “Pinterest,” an acoustic bossa nova track infused with her signature pop flair. Releasing two versions, in Spanish and Portuguese, the tender song continues to showcase her versatility and is part of her forthcoming album, <em>Equilibrium</em>, via Republic Records, featuring a dual-structure concept blending her Brazilian roots with international pop.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Catch Anitta and Colman Domingo on<em> Saturday Night Live</em>, airing on NBC on April 11 at 11:30 p.m., with livestreaming available on Peacock. Jack Black and Jack White will be the host and musical guest, respectively, the week before.</p>

	In the <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWCIf0aAJd9/">clip</a>, a camera circles Lizzo as she throws it back on her doppelgänger, who stares ahead blankly in beige spandex and stilettos. The upcoming track plays in the background while a man offscreen shouts encouragements at the star, who twerks to lyrics such as “Don’t make me love you if you’re just gonna change your mind.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“THE NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM ‘DON’T MAKE ME LOVE U,'” Lizzo captioned the clip. “THIS FRIDAY. GET READYYYYY.”</p>

	The Grammy winner <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/lizzo-a-cappella-dont-make-me-love-you-cheese-pull-meyers-1236187417/">previously previewed</a> “Don’t Make Me Love U” while guesting on <em>Late Night With Seth Meyers </em>in February, singing a few bars a cappella. She last dropped music in October, unleashing “Freak Show” that month. Before that, she released June mixtape <em>My Face Hurts From Smiling</em>, which featured collaborations with SZA and Doja Cat.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lizzo had originally planned on releasing an album titled <em>Love in Real Life</em>, but pivoted away from the project after singles “Still Bad” and “Love in Real Life” didn’t make a splash on the<a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Billboard Hot 100</a> — a chart she’s previously topped with smashes “Truth Hurts” and “About Damn Time.”</p>

	“By 2025, I’ve changed, the world has changed so much, and so much has happened,” <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/lizzo-harry-styles-jennifer-hudson-show-1236185108/">she explained</a> in a September interview with <em>Vulture</em>, noting that she wrote most of the shelved album in 2022. “It just wasn’t what I was feeling right now. I was like, ‘I need to do s–t differently, and I don’t know what it is, but I’m going to just start following my instincts.’”</p>

	Each design features your standard <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/where-to-buy-one-piece-crocs-online-1236191680/">Croslite composition</a>, a moldable foam material that softens with the wearer’s body heat that Crocs uses to create all its <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/crocs-mega-crush-sandal-on-sale-buy-online-1235708688/">clog styles</a>. The material is lightweight, buoyant, comfortable and odor-resistant. Each clog features a pivoting heel strap that creates a more secure fit, along with ventilation holes on the toes that make the style breathable. These holes are also utilized to decorate your footwear with Jibbitz galore.</p>

	Every collaborative Lego clog features real Lego bricks throughout, visible on the molded soles and toes. That iconic red, white and yellow Lego logo is affixed to the pivot strap.

These styles are playful, leaning into a maximalist perspective. The body of each clog is either black or white, grounding the shoe and making it more wearable despite the bricks attached. While you’d have to be a pretty maximalist dresser to pull these off, they also serve as a collector’s piece for people really into Lego.</p>

The decorative pieces include a large sunflower, greenery, a minifigure dressed as a bee and a teeny tiny ladybug. Jibbitz are designed to attach to the toes of your Crocs, adding a personalized touch. As previously mentioned, they pop into the little ventilation holes and won’t budge even if you’re particularly rough with your shoes. While you can certainly put these on your Lego clogs, they’d look just as good on Crocs you already own. Jibbitz like these offer Crocs fans an easy way to upgrade basic clogs with a little something fun.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Maroon 5 singer tapped Madden to serve as an advisor for his team during <em>The Voice</em> season 29 battle rounds, marking the Good Charlotte rocker’s first appearance on the flagship U.S. version of the hit reality competition show. He previously appeared as co-coach alongside his twin brother Joel Madden on <em>The Voice Australia</em> (2015-16), as well as the sole season of <em>The Voice Kids</em> <em>Australia</em> (2014).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the March 16 episode of <em>The Voice</em>, Madden advised three thrilling Team Adam battles that highlighted this season’s impressive level of competition. Bay Simpson took down Hunter Jordan — who previously earned a 3-Chair-Turn — with a winning rendition of Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem,” Jaali Boyd knocked out Bijou Belle with an ace version of The Weeknd’s “Die For You” and Alexia Jayy edged out Moses G. with a swoon-worthy take on The Commodores’ “Nightshift.” Notably, fellow coach John Legend couldn’t resist the caliber of Team Adam’s talent, so he stole Moses G., keeping him in the competition.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Though the battles were intense, all three showdowns were a testament to the strength of the dynamic Levine and Madden have cultivated as coach and advisor. Blending their joint pop-rock sensibilities, Levine focused on the technical aspects of vocal performance, while Maddem emphasized the importance of connecting emotionally with both the song and the audience. With a coach-advisor partnership that naturally blossomed out of a 20-year friendship, Madden has certainly helped Team Adam remain the frontrunners of season 29.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We carpooled together, we’re old friends! We’ve known each other for probably 21-22 years. Adam’s the greatest, especially if you get to know him personally,” Madden gushes to <em>Billboard</em>. “I wish this was a [full] stint. I would do that any day of the week. It’s the easiest gig in the world to hang with Adam and talk music, so this was a very easy yes for me. I was really appreciative of Adam bringing me on the show and getting to spend the day hanging. That’s my boy.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Last summer, Good Charlotte dropped its eighth studio album, <em>Motel Du Cap</em>, which marked the band’s first LP without drummer Dean Butterworth following his departure in early 2025. The 13-song set, which boasts collaborations with Wiz Khalifa, Petti Hendrix, Luke Borchelt and Zeph, reached No. 43 on Top Album Sales. This summer, the Maryland-bred band will embark on a 16-city joint tour with Grammy-nominated heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. The trek will kick off July 25 in Ridgedale, Mo., and visit major cities like Chicago, New York and Dallas before wrapping with a BMO Stadium show in Los Angeles on Aug. 30. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Below, Benji Madden speaks with <em>Billboard</em> about 20 years of friendship with Adam Levine, advising on season 29 of <em>The Voice</em> and what fans can expect from Good Charlotte’s upcoming tour with Avenged Sevenfold.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Do you remember the very first time you met Adam?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I can’t remember if we were in L.A., but we were both 21 and at a show. We watched each other play — it might have been a festival — and literally have been friends since that day. It was like the new kids meeting at school. We were always really supportive of one another. You don’t have too many people that you can say you’ve been friends with for decades, so it’s really nice, especially when they stay consistent. And Adam’s never changed. Anybody who knows him knows he’s the same dude from day one.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How does your friendship with Adam inform your coach-advisor dynamic for the contestants?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We’re always giving each other advice. When we met, we were both still on tour in vans and trailers. When you grow up through the years and stay friends with someone through the different phases of life, like being married and having families, you need that fellowship. The music industry can be a cold place, but there’s also a beautiful side. I think that those friendships are the most amazing side of it. We talk about everything, from our careers to being dads, so I think that makes it easier for us to advise artists who will listen.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When people receive you, you can be more genuine and tell them what you know. When Adam’s coaching on <em>The Voice</em>, those artists are there to get everything they can get out of that experience and being with him. They’re totally excited and open, and it’s a really fun environment. Sometimes you go into these scenarios and it’s not as comfortable, because you’re getting to know all the different people. So, when you roll in there with your old friend — somebody that you see every day in real life — it’s awesome. I had a blast! And it’s fun listening to people who can really sing; the show definitely keeps a high tier of ability and talent.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>This season is being dubbed the “Battle of Champions.” Do you feel like the stakes are higher this time around?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Definitely. This is a big platform to be on. A lot of these people have been working and have gone through the wringer in different talent pools and searches. When you get an opportunity like this platform, you elevate when you get around other great talent. That’s the beauty of getting to hang out with guys like Adam. He’s got a classic voice for our time, it will be remembered. When you go to a [Maroon 5] show, there’s hit after hit after hit, and it’s tied together by Adam’s voice. It’s woven into the fabric of modern music.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We’re on season 29 now, so obviously, they’re trying to find new ways to up the ante and make it stand out. It doesn’t lead to something for everybody, but it’s your opportunity to take and make with it what you will. The stakes are high for these folks, and Adam being back is pretty cool, too.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What advice do you think vocalists need to hear the most these days?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	My advice is going to be different than a <em>vocalist </em>vocalist because I’m more of a singer-songwriter. My advice is always going to be: tap into your feelings regardless of the mechanics and technical execution. There’s a balance. Do the work and practice, but when you’re performing, try to tap into your soul and the soul of the song. Connect it to you and your story — that’s what people really feel. You gotta marry that with ability, practice and skill.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And that’s something that Adam does. He’s a technically great singer, but he’s also telling stories and he’s a songwriter. If anyone has a takeaway from Team Adam, it’s to be a storyteller.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You and your brother served as co-coaches for <em>The Voice Australia</em> and <em>The Voice Kids Australia</em>. How did those experiences prepare you for advising this season?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It was great! Having shot those seasons, we know the environment. They’re shooting this entire competition from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed — there is a flow to it. That allowed me to slide right into the flow of the show and have fun with it because I missed doing <em>The Voice, </em>getting to work with all these unknowns, and all this talent. And we learned a lot doing so.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What have been your favorite fan responses to <em>Motel Du Cap</em>?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	You never know what to expect, and I don’t think we really had any expectations. We genuinely got to make a record just for the fun of it, and that’s a blessing to be in that place in our career. But the response has been incredible, man. We just did our biggest tour ever in Australia, and we’re doing some of the biggest shows of our career with three or four new songs in the set — and they’re going off. That’s also kind of a rarity. “Bodies,” “Stepper” and “Mean” all get really strong responses. Now the momentum is pulling us into a few more shows than we thought.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We just announced a U.S. summer tour that we’re co-headlining with Avenged Sevenfold. God bless those guys. We’ve been friends for 25 years, and we’ve always wanted to tour together. We don’t take it for granted. Obviously, we can’t do it exactly the way we used to now that we have families and businesses, but we’re really enjoying it when we can.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What can fans expect from this tour?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We’re gonna bring something special. Obviously, we have songs and features together, so I’m talking to Matt Shadows [Avenged Sevenfold lead vocalist] about all that. There will be a lot of production, I’ll tell you that. A lot of thought is going into the creative.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You guys also have a BMO Stadium show on this trek. What excites you most about a venue of that size?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	L.A. is a special market for us and Avenged, so we wanted to do something different, which is why we announced it last. We thought this would be a really cool venue to put on a big, old rock show. We’ve got some special guests and lots of cool stuff for that show. It’s sort of like a homecoming show.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-rodrigo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Olivia Rodrigo</a> is still in disbelief over the United States government using her music to promote ICE, the actions of which the pop star called “disturbing” in a new cover story interview with <em><a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/olivia-rodrigo-british-vogue-interview" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">British Vogue</a></em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the piece published Thursday (March 19), Rodrigo recalled finding out that her <em>Guts </em>track “All-American Bitch” had been paired with footage of immigration enforcement officers tackling and detaining people posted by the Department of Homeland Security. “That was awful. Dystopian,” she told the publication.</p>

	“The way that ICE is ripping apart communities and terrorizing people is so disturbing,” she continued. “It’s a really sad, scary time.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Billboard</em> has reached out to DHS for comment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The incident in question took place in November, with the DHS specifically using “All-American Bitch” to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/olivia-rodrigo-slams-ice-song-use-racist-hateful-propaganda-1236108389/">threaten undocumented citizens</a> with “consequences” if they didn’t “self-deport” using the Trump administration’s CBP Home app. At the time, Rodrigo wrote in the comments, “don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Grammy winner has also spoken up against the agency in the past, joining <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/olivia-rodrigo-british-vogue-interview">numerous other artists</a> in condemning ICE for carrying out mass deportations in immigrant communities and acting violently against some protestors — including Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom were shot and killed by officers in Minneapolis. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Elsewhere in the new  interview, Rodrigo teased her next album — which is apparently only about 70% finished — and confirmed fan suspicions that many of the songs are about being in love. There is a twist, though; the former Disney star explained that the LP is actually rife with “sad love songs,” having realized that all of her “favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“[I thought] that the second I’m in a really great relationship, I’m gonna start feeling good about myself, and this stuff is going to fall into place,” said the musician, who was most recently linked to Louis Partridge. “But it just doesn’t work like that.”</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jay-z/">Jay-Z</a> announced on Wednesday (March 18) his first <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/jay-z-yankee-stadium-shows-blueprint-reasonable-doubt-1236202186/">two headline concerts</a> in seven years with shows at Yankee Stadium on July 10-11. The hometown dates will end an extended hiatus for the legendary rapper after playing a B-sides show to re-open Webster Hall in 2019, breaking records with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/beyonce/">Beyoncé</a> on their coheadlining On the Run II Tour (2018), and his last solo headline stint on 2017’s 4:44 Tour.</p>

	Jay-Z “made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can,” as he famously rapped in 2009’s “Empire State of Mind,” but it’s been even longer since he played at the iconic stadium. He spent two nights there in 2013 on the Legends of the Summer Stadium Tour with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/justin-timberlake/">Justin Timberlake</a>. Before that, he did a hometown swap with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/eminem/">Eminem</a>, playing two shows at Detroit’s Comerica Park and two at Yankee Stadium in 2010. His upcoming shows will mark his first time headlining there on his own.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s rare that the baseball field plays host to superstar performers, balancing 81 regular-season home games per year amid a weather-restricted stadium season in the Northeast. But a select group of acts have performed sold-out concerts there, packing the 50,000-capacity venue with fans of the biggest acts in rock, rap, Latin and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The earliest Yankee Stadium concert reported to Billboard Boxscore featured <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tracy-chapman/">Tracy Chapman</a> headlining a rally to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in 1990. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/billy-joel/">Billy Joel</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-beach-boys/">The Beach Boys</a> played un-reported shows around the turn of the ‘90s. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/u2/">U2</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pink-floyd/">Pink Floyd</a> followed in 1992 and 1994, respectively, selling more than 100,000 tickets over two nights apiece. Concerts became slightly more common upon the unveiling of the re-built stadium in 2010. Jay-Z will be just the third headliner since returning from the pandemic (not counting the unreported Hip Hop 50 event from 2023). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Keep reading for the five biggest Boxscore reports from Yankee Stadium, by the numbers. Ranked by gross revenue, the list leans toward concerts from the 21st century, as ticket prices for shows in the ‘90s topped out at $75 for Pink Floyd and $30 for U2. All data is according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Across the decades, the old, street-corner, publike “hotels” and bars of Melbourne, Australia, have launched many artists to global acclaim, including the likes of John Farnham, Nick Cave, Paul Kelly and Courtney Barnett, to name but a few.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Now Steph Strings is ready for her international breakout.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Hailing originally from Melbourne, Strings got her start as a street performer playing guitar instrumentals. She was 19 years old when she played her first formal gig at The Evelyn Hotel, a bar with a music room, on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, just outside central Melbourne, working up the courage to sing with her guitar for the first time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I sang ‘Dusty Roads’ that night,” she recalls in a mini-documentary posted on her website, describing her performance of an early song. “And it sounded horrific.” But her family, she says, “were so proud of me.” (On Spotify, “Dusty Roads” has since been streamed more than 2.1 million times).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Now 25, Strings is a confident, accomplished singer-songwriter whose debut album, <em>Feel Alive</em>, arrived in Australia on Jan. 9 and debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA album chart — a remarkable achievement for a fully independent, self-released title.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A charming virtuoso who has spent years posting performances online, String’s engaging social media presence has fueled her rise. She has topped 976,000 followers on Instagram, and a recent reel of her performance with Jesse Wells at Massey Hall in Toronto has topped 10,600 views.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	All of this has set the stage for Strings’ first extended headlining tour of North America, Europe, Australia, with a one-off performance in Brazil, followed by festival dates including the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in June, and — just announced — dates with Wells in July, August and October.</p>

	Strings played her first headlining show in Brooklyn on March 18 at Baby’s All Right in the Williamsburg neighborhood.  Here are five of the evening’s best moments:</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s not only for artists, it’s for Americans,” Afroman told the network on Thursday (March 19). “We have freedom of speech. They did me wrong and sued me because I was talking about it. It’s ‘For the people, by the people,’ so when the people can’t use their freedom of speech — bring up the problem, address the problem — then the problem never gets solved.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Wednesday’s verdict ended a case that started with a 2022 raid by the Adams County Sheriff’s Department on Afroman’s home. With guns drawn, officers smashed down his door and seized $5,031 in cash, but no wrongdoing was uncovered, no charges were ever filed and the money was later returned.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After the search, Afroman created music videos and other social posts mocking the officers, including a video for a song called “Lemon Pound Cake” in which he ridiculed one deputy for apparently eyeing a cake on his counter.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 2023, seven officers (Shawn D. Cooley, Justin Cooley, Lisa Phillips, Michael D. Estep, Shawn S. Grooms, Brian Newland and Randolph L. Walters, Jr.) filed a civil lawsuit claiming they’d suffered “emotional distress” and been “subjected to threats, including death threats” because of Afroman’s posts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But at trial this week, Afroman testified that he had a First Amendment right to mock the officers, particularly after they smashed down his door for ultimately no reason: “All of this is their fault, and they have the audacity to sue me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That argument resonated with the jury. After just hours of deliberation on Wednesday, the jury sided entirely with Afroman, clearing him of liability for defamation or invasion of privacy: “In all circumstances, the jury finds in favor of the defendant,” Judge Jonathan Hein said, speaking to the rapper, the accusers and their lawyers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The verdict ended a three-day trial that captivated social media with outlandish moments from the courtroom, including Afroman mounting a colorful defense from the witness stand in a flamboyant American flag suit. It also cleared him of a whopping $3.9 million damages award sought by the officers.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On this week’s episode of <em>All There Is With Anderson Cooper</em>, singer/songwriter <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sara-bareilles/">Sara Bareilles</a> shared her unreleased track “Home” — a song sparked by an earlier conversation on the CNN podcast.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The track was written after Bareilles listened to a chat between host Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert during the podcast’s first season, when they shared their experiences with grief and loss. Their exchange resonated with Bareilles, who had been navigating losses in her own life, and she wrote “Home” as part of processing those feelings.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I was really moved,” Bareilles tells Cooper. “I think you say it in the interview: It’s about telling your story, and about telling your story warts and all, is the thing that brings you back home. And I think of home as being a place of connection. Your soul is at peace and at rest when you’re in connection. … For me, on this earth, our work is to find ways to be bold enough to let other people see us. And telling stories is such an important part of that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the clip above, premiering exclusively on <em>Billboard</em>, Bareilles plays a snippet of “Home” with vulnerable lyrics about losing a parent, reflecting Copper and Colbert’s conversation: “I am one day older than my father was/ Than he ever got to be/ I was 10 years old when I grew up/ ‘Cause he died at 53.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cooper shared his emotional reaction after getting a sneak peek of the song, saying in the podcast intro: “You’re going to hear that song on the podcast today. It hasn’t been released yet, but Sara wanted all of us in this community to hear it first. I had not heard it in advance, and I was incredibly moved by it. I’m a little embarrassed about how emotional I got.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bareilles is currently working on her first full album since the COVID‑19 pandemic, with the unreleased track “Home” as part of the project.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In recent years, Bareilles has also coped publicly with the death of close friend and Broadway colleague Gavin Creel, the Tony Award–winning actor and singer who died in September 2024 from a rare and aggressive form of sarcoma. Creel, who performed with Bareilles in <em>Waitress: The Musical</em> and other stage productions, was widely mourned in the theater community, and Bareilles honored him at the 2025 Tony Awards.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to her work on Broadway, Bareilles has had a long and successful career in pop music. She first gained mainstream attention with her 2007 hit “Love Song,” which reached No. 4 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a>, and continued her chart success with <em>Kaleidoscope Heart</em> (2010) and <em>Amidst the Chaos</em> (2019), both of which reached the top 10 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fans can catch the full conversation and hear “Home” when the episode drops Thursday (March 19) on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cnn.com/allthereis" target="_blank">cnn.com/allthereis</a>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pearl-jam/">Pearl Jam</a> lead guitarist Mike McCready has spent 35+ years touring and recording with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group while watching some of the most beloved, talented voices and musicians of his generation pay the ultimate price for fame. At some point, it made the 59-year-old rock legend wonder if it was all worth it.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So, beginning during the COVID-19 lockdown, he started piecing together an ambitious rock opera telling the fictionalized tale about the brightest lights of that early 1990s grunge era in Seattle, forming it into the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/pearl-jam-mccready-grunge-opera-comic-farewell-to-seasons-1236198756/">multimedia rock opera/graphic novel <em>Farewell to Seasons</em></a>, an ambitious project due out on Oct. 6 that will mark his debut as a lead singer.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The characters are all based on real people in the scene you would know,” McCready tells <em>Billboard</em>, careful not to make the direct connections in order to allow fans to piece things together on their own. However, he’s quick to hint around them being inspired by too many fallen friends, including Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood, Alice in Chains and Mad Season vocalist Layne Staley, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, among others.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The story — told in the colorful, emotional graphic novel that will be published by Z2 — follows three artists on the Seattle scene, tracking their triumphs and tragedies as they are guided by an oracle, the Queen of the Seasons, who narrates the story. “It’s basically about walking with your darkness as an artist,” he says, citing The Who’s <em>Quadrophenia</em> and <em>Tommy</em>, as well <em>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</em> and the glam theatrics of David Bowie, KISS and Alice Cooper.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He’s recorded an album of his originals as well on which he sings and plays piano and guitar alongside backing vocals from Molly Sides (Thunderpussy), bass from Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan and Dave Matthews Band’s Stefan Lessard and drums from Mike Musburger (Fastbacks), Chris Friel (The Rockfords) and in-demand Seattle producer Nate Yaccino. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And while McCready has not figured out how, or if, he will tour the songs from the album he just finished mastering — an overture and six original songs on which he sings for the first time — he’s hoping to possibly go out on the road in the next year, depending on Pearl Jam’s schedule, of course.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Check out <em>Billboard</em>‘s chat with McCready about the project.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>One of the things I was wondering when the news of this broke recently was whether you’re planning to mount a full opera performance of this album-graphic novel?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I originally wanted this to be written as a rock opera with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/who-pete-townshend-graphic-novel-version-lifehouse-rock-opera-1235544363/">Pete Townshend’s <em>Lifehouse</em></a> being the high-water mark, which I look up to immensely. I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could actually do something like that and write songs that were specifically about a story … a historical fiction that I was part of that scene and being in the front row of that. It was an exercise of, “I want to do something with this. I want to make a rock opera and be able to perform this some day, in whatever form that turns into.” And somehow it took this left turn into a graphic novel. That was not part of the process originally to do a rock opera. I’m looking at the high-water mark of [The Who’s] <em>Tommy</em> and [David Bowie’s] <em>Ziggy Stardust</em> and I wanted to push myself. I will eventually turn it into something, I hope. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Who might perform in it? Would it be a <em>Tommy</em>-like thing with a stacked cast of recognizable musicians and actors?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s a great question and I’m not sure I’ve thought that far ahead, because I want to make sure that I can actually do it. You have to have the money for it and the people behind you and that’s a whole new world to me that I don’t know yet. I have some friends in Broadway and some friends in the music business … I don’t know exactly how to start that process and I need help with that. I don’t have anybody in mind. I want to be able to do a really cool rock opera but with visual content. I don’t know how to mix those two worlds yet, but I’ve written a script for it and I have ideas on how everything should look.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Can you breakdown who inspired the various characters? Are there real-life analogues?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	They’re based on all the people in the scene you would know. David Williams is myself. I wanted to create other characters other than myself and the singers of the scene. Jonathan Alexander is the tragedy of the scene, he’s the rock singer — it could be any one of those guys.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Like Mother Love Bone’s Andy Wood…</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s a combination of all those guys. There’s a character named Angela May Sunrise, who is the female singer-songwriter based on Molly Sides from Thunderpussy or Brandi Carlile. I wanted to bring in a female character in the context of three characters going through their journey in the world of 1980s to mid-1990s Seattle as the scene was starting to explode. I wanted to give props to my old band, Shadow. We were kind of before all that Seattle scene stuff. We were all 16 and we toured a lot around Seattle. We played a lot, that’s where I spent my 10,000 hours. I’m very proud of that era, but it never got the historical props it should have because it kind of got overshadowed with everything else. I wanted to have a fantasy element to it. I love [Shakespeare’s] <em>A Midsummer Night’s Dream</em>, I love Oberon. I love characters that are mythical and tempt you and guide you, or take you down a dark road. I wanted to have an element of mysticism to it as well.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How long have you been working on this?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It started around COVID. I would have dreams about some of theses guys and they were kind of sad and I was like, “Man, everybody from this scene died. And why?” I get it, it’s addiction and all of these things and I’ve had my struggle with that. Was it worth it for all these guys? That’s the thing that was taunting me in all my questions and I wanted to write an artistic question to put out there in the universe and to have everybody answer it who wants to. Because I want to know, because I don’t know. That’s when I called [director] Cameron Crowe.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Tell me about that, because obviously you’ve known Cameron since the <em>Singles</em> days</strong>. <strong>What were you hoping for in calling him?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cameron’s the best. <em>Almost Famous</em> is one of my favorite movies of all time. I want to live in that movie and I kind of have in a way. He’s been so good to me my entire career and he’s always supported me and given me advice, so I love Cameron deeply and I respect his vision. He knows the rock world and luckily I can call him and he gave me some great advice. When I was talking about the rock opera part of it and where to place certain songs, [he mentioned] the 11th hour song — which is where the character has to meet their fate or make a decision on where the story is going to go. I didn’t know that that was a thing. I’ve seen <em>Hamilton</em> and now I’m looking backwards at a lot of stuff and seeing the mechanics of these things that I don’t know, other than watching <em>Tommy</em> or listening to <em>Ziggy Stardust</em> or watching <em>Rocky Horror Picture Show</em>. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You’ve had side projects like Walking Papers, Mad Season and Levee Walkers, but this is your first true solo effort. How did it feel taking that step outside for the first time and how did the rest of the band feel about it?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It feels scary in a great way. I’m a guy that always wants to push himself. I need to do that. I need to keep busy with stuff. Pearl Jam is my entity and I live in it, but I’ve got time to do things so I want to fill that in with creativity. As an artist I want to push myself through different boundaries. I’ve been taking singing lessons from this woman named Susan Carr here in Seattle for the past three years. I wanted to do something that forced me to sing, so I did a mini-rock opera within the context of this story. But I wanted to make sure I was f–king good! I feel proud about it. This is my solo experiment, who knows what it will turn into? I just hope that people dig it and it makes them want to listen to all the music from that time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Have you played it for the band?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I haven’t played it for anybody yet. I think I might have sent one song to [bassist] Jeff [Ament] and he thought it was cool, but that’s it. I just mastered everything two days ago and there is no “perfect,” but I want it to be as close to perfect as it can be with the music before I start sending it out. That’s important to me as well, the story and the music and putting it together with the visual some day. For now, I’m just so honored that I got to do something with [graphic novel publisher] Z2. Their enthusiasm made me think I could do a graphic novel.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Are you nervous for them to hear it?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m excited for the guys to hear it when it’s ready. They’re my brothers, so I’d love to hear what they have to say.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’ve never sung on a Pearl Jam song right?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No. I may have done some backups on a Rockfords record once. I’ve been surrounded by all these amazing singers, there was Chris [Cornell], there was Layne [Staley], Ed [Vedder], Molly Sides, Brandi Carlile, [Mark] Lanegan. I was always around them, so I didn’t have a lot of self-confidence probably.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Do you think you’ll tour it</strong> <strong>and who would join you?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m thinking about that now and what’s the right way to do it and not lose money! I love playing with the women from Thunderpussy, they’re great musicians and they rock hard. We’ll just have to see when the book comes out and how the next year progresses.</p>

	When <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/shakira/">Shakira</a> first picked up her guitar as a teenager in Barranquilla — pouring her poetic musings into intimate rock songs like “Estoy Aquí” or “Inevitable,” and experimenting with a sound few did in Colombia’s tropical-dominated scene — she couldn’t have imagined her name would one day stand shoulder-to-shoulder with music legends like Billy Idol, Lauryn Hill and Wu-Tang Clan.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yet, over 30 years after her breakthrough album <em>Pies Descalzos </em>introduced her to the world, the Colombian superstar now finds herself in that company as one of 17 nominees for the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/rock-hall-fame-nominees-2026-list-1236186061/">announced last month</a>. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I thought someone was joking with me. I had to double-check, and then I just felt really grateful,” Shakira tells <em>Billboard Español</em> after hearing the news of her nomination. “It’s not something you expect. I’m so over the moon with my fans who’ve been supporting me for 30 years already, and they continue to accompany me and to make things like these that sound almost impossible happen.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The “Hips Don’t Lie” No. 1 <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> hitmaker is no stranger to breaking records and barriers across cultures, genres, and languages. The first Colombian artist ever nominated for this honor, the Latin music icon also carries the potential distinction of becoming the first Latina woman inducted into the Rock Hall’s hallowed circle. “It’s pretty crazy, honestly,” she says of the honor. “I grew up in Barranquilla and I dreamt about things like these, but I never thought that they could come true.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While her music has evolved drastically over the years — from her earlier introspective power ballads like “Antología” to reggaetón-powered global hits such as “Chantaje” — Shakira has always carried the fire of a <em>rockera</em> at heart. “I started out as a rock kid, playing guitar, harmonica, and crazy about bands like Nirvana, Metallica and Led Zeppelin, being just a huge rock fan and writing rock songs in my little room in Barranquilla, where I was growing up,” she reflects.</p>

<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors artists who have transformed the musical and cultural landscape, and Shakira’s journey epitomizes that ethos. Having debuted at just 13 with <em>Magia</em> (1991), she caught international attention with <em>Pies Descalzos</em> (1995) and cemented her stardom with <em>Dónde Están Los Ladrones </em>(1998) — two albums that not only introduced Spanish-language audiences to her poetic, often rock-leaning songwriting, but which spread internationally, all without compromising her roots.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 2001, she starred in one of Latin music’s most successful global crossovers with <em>Laundry Service</em>, her fifth studio album and first in English, which catapulted her to global fame with a blend of pop-rock and Andean rhythms. The album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and produced smash hits like “Whenever, Wherever,” which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the years since, her artistry has translated into countless chart successes: <em>Fijación Oral, Vol. 1</em> and <em>Oral Fixation, Vol. 2</em>, both from 2025, reached No. 4 and No. 5 on the Billboard 200, respectively, while her self-titled 2014 album peaked at No. 2, her highest position on the chart. On Top Latin Albums, she has seven No. 1s, from <em>Fijación Oral, Vol. 1</em>, which ruled for 17 weeks, to her most recent, <em>Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran </em>(2024). The latter album’s advance single, “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” with Bizarrap, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/shakira-guinness-world-records-bizarrap-music-sessions-vol-53-1235284142/#:~:text=Trending%20on%20Billboard,Bizarrap%20joined%20forces%20for%20%E2%80%9CVol.">broke 14 Guinness World Records</a> and became the first Spanish-language song by a female artist to hit the top 10 of the Hot 100.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Every time I write, I do it because it’s therapeutic, it’s cathartic to me — it’s my own way to process my feelings, my thoughts, to elaborate life and whatever is happening in my mind,” she adds. “I wrote songs, I never really did it thinking or hoping that big things would happen. It was just my way of coping with reality and expressing myself.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Her nomination also comes during an era when the Rock Hall has made strides toward greater inclusivity, particularly for women artists. This year’s all-star roster also includes powerhouse women like Mariah Carey, Sade, and P!nk, alongside other legends such as Iron Maiden, Oasis, Phil Collins and Joy Division/New Order.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For decades, women were glaringly underrepresented within the Rock Hall; in 1986, the inaugural Hall of Fame induction was an all-male affair. That specific trend<a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/women-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-history-makers-list/"> persisted in years</a> like 1992 and even as late as 2016. Now, Shak is part of a diverse class of nominees that champions a wide spectrum of musical styles and cultural identities.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“To be the first Colombian, or even to dream about the possibility of maybe becoming the first Latina woman inducted in the Hall of Fame, feels so surreal,” Shakira says. “I’d be so humbled and thrilled to be representing Latin music, Latina women, and the fans of rock and roll in my Hispanic community.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Her ability to orchestrate genre fusion has remained unmatched. From the tango-infused rhythms of “Objection (Tango)” to the mariachi-meets-pop flare of “Ciega, Sordomuda,” all the way to her rock-driven tracks such as “Don’t Bother” and “Empire,” Shakira pushed boundaries before it became an industry norm.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That mindset sort of stayed with me. I wasn’t afraid to try things,” she reveals about her willingness to experiment with genre. “Even though the musical scene in Colombia was quite different, it was more about tropical music than rock and roll. I [started] producing when I was 17 years old. I wrote and produced my first rock album <em>Pies Descalzos</em> and<em> Donde Están Los Ladrones</em> along with Luis Fernando Ochoa… <em>In Fijación Oral</em>, I started out playing with other genres and experimenting with those different sounds. My career became a lot about fusion, about making elements from different worlds coexist in the same song.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Colombian rock star is in the final stretch of her historic Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which kicked off on February 11, 2025, and will conclude with a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/shakira-end-las-mujeres-ya-no-lloran-tour-spain-stadium-1236200367/">grand finale in Spain</a>. The tour <a href="https://billboard.com/espanol/noticias/shakira-record-guinness-gira-hispana-mas-taquillera-1236166040/">set a Guinness World Record</a> as the highest-grossing tour of all time by a Hispanic artist, earning an astounding $421.6 million from the sale of 3.3 million tickets across 86 shows, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Rock Hall’s Class of 2026 will be revealed in April with the induction ceremony taking place in the fall. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Rock was always there, and I’ve been making rock songs [on] every album,” she says of her roots in the museum’s core genre. “So to me, just being nominated to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a huge motivation. It’s a huge honor, but also I think it’s gonna inspire me even more for the next years.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jason-aldean/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jason-aldean/">Jason Aldean </a>pulled off a difficult trick with his new single, “Don’t Tell on Me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On one hand, it’s a return to his past, arguably grabbing a harder rock stance than he’s taken on a single in more than a decade. On the other hand, it’s a new version of rock influence. Where he applied AC/DC-inspired chords in 2008’s “She’s Country,” the guitars in “Don’t Tell on Me” owe more to Foo Fighters.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Country music is almost kind of the new rock ‘n’ roll,” Aldean says. “We’ve, I feel like, always been a little bit on the on the forefront of that — sort of pushing the genre a little bit.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The latest iteration of that sound is driven in part by his band. Bassist Tully Kennedy and guitarist Kurt Allison have been with Aldean since before he reached the national spotlight, and they’ve become key sources for new material, too, co-writing a large percentage of his albums since the onset of COVID. They penned “Don’t Tell on Me” with Aldean in mind, crafting it to his voice, but gearing it to themselves at the same time; they were writing something they would want to perform on stage.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We’ve been playing music together for almost 30 years at this point,” Aldean says. “They’ve done everything I’ve ever done. They’ve played on every record, they’ve played every show I’ve ever played. And so, nobody knows me better than those guys.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kennedy brought the title and basic premise for “Don’t Tell on Me” to BMG Music in Nashville for a writing session with Allison, John Morgan and Lydia Vaughan (“Bar None,” “If I Didn’t Love You”). The song would, in essence, personify the heart — giving it the ability to participate in the singer’s attempt at deception.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When you’re going through something, the only thing that really knows the truth is your heart,” Kennedy says. “So you try to put up a front to people – you know, your friends – and really, it can be kind of a charade when it’s all said and done. So [it’s] writing something about that, where it’s just the heart not tipping your hand.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kennedy didn’t exactly tip his own hand to start the day. Instead, he put the onus on Allison to set a direction.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“He’ll usually come in with a title,” Allison notes. “He won’t tell me the title. He says, like, ‘Hey, what kind of tracks do you have for the day?’ And me never really knowing what he’s got in the back of his head, I’m kind of wondering what I should play him. When I played a version of the song as a track idea, he was like, ‘Oh, my God, that’s it. We’ve got to write to this.’ And then he told me the title.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While it was a rocker, geared for a guy to sing, Vaughan wasn’t in the least bit out of place in the room.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“She was kind of an emo chick back in the day,” Morgan says. “She’s got that kind of rock edge that she can pull out and put that hat on.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Allison’s track started with the Foo-like guitar stabs at the beginning, and they took it from there, knowing the payoff line that would arrive at the end of the chorus. The verses were pensive, restrained, using a dark, 3 Doors Down-like melody to introduce the singer’s efforts at keeping his pain a secret.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The chorus broke into a higher melody and an anthemic vibe, ideal for playing with driving abandon. With each passing stanza, the level of despair increased, reaching its peak at the bridge, where the phrasing changed to elongated lines that acknowledged the stress the man is putting on his heart.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The bridge, to me, is just that part of desperation where it’s just like the final straw,” Morgan says. “You’re like, ‘Please, I gotta count on you.’ It’s a stick-to-your-guns kind of thing, and so it just kind of doubled down on what the hook idea is.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Before the write was over, they repurposed that bridge, making it a counter-melody for the closing vocal vamp as they assembled the demo with Morgan on vocals, Kennedy on bass and Allison playing the rest of the instruments as he produced it. They had, they believed, all the songs lined up for Aldean’s next album – <em>Songs About Us</em>, due April 24 – but the writers reached out, just to let him know they had something that he might want to record early to get a head start on the next album. Aldean was impressed when he heard it.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The guitar stabs and stuff off the top, it’s just like, ‘Okay, this is a little more rock ‘n’ roll,’” he says. “Kind of gets your attention off the top.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Aldean determined “Don’t Tell on Me” needed to go on <em>Songs About Us</em> and to join “How Far Does a Goodbye Go” as one of the first two singles. They recorded it with producer Michael Knox (Montgomery Gentry, Trace Adkins) at Treasure Isle, a studio in Nashville’s Berry Hill section that counts Peter Coleman (The Knack, Pat Benatar) among its primary engineers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We wanted to make it sound very authentic and very rock,” Knox says. “We hadn’t did that in a while. We were in drum-loop world for a while on some of our singles, and Jason’s like, ‘I need a single just to kick their teeth in.’ And this was the song.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	They cut the bulk of the instrumental track on the third take, with only a few overdubs – particularly Allison’s short, buzzy guitar solo – after the fact. He also embedded a backing guitar part in the opening verse that approximated Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” an other-worldly, off-kilter sound that was achieved in that era by using a rotary Leslie amp.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m a huge fan of those ‘90s rock bands,” Allison says. “Fuel used to use that kind of sound a lot, too. And I’ve always kind of been a Leslie-sound fan. It’s hard to use it [in country] and, I think, have it be appropriate and work.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The track felt haunting and raw, conveying the muscular grit that’s typically part of Aldean’s sound. “I don’t get caught up in perfection,” Knox says. “That’s just not what we do. We’re trailer-park dirt, rock ‘n’ roll country, baby. That’s what we do.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Aldean sang the final vocals for “Don’t Tell on Me” six times, giving Knox plenty of takes to use in compiling the final performance. And he threw in a series of shadowy counter-melodies and other extra lines – including a distant-sounding vocal part in the intro – that represented another change in the current iteration of Aldean from his original sound.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We did a lot more ad-libbing-type stuff than I ever did on some of the early records,” Aldean says. “It’s a little bit of a different strategy than we’ve had before. I’ll go in and sing some stuff that doesn’t work. And we’re like, ‘Let’s go again.’ And we’ll keep messing around until we figure out things that work for the song.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“How Far Does a Goodbye Go” reached No. 1 on <em>Billboard</em>’s Country Airplay chart dated Feb. 21, and Broken Bow released “Don’t Tell on Me” to country radio via PlayMPE on Feb. 26. It debuted at No. 21 on Country Airplay and rests at No. 32 in its second week on the list dated March 21.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Outside of an acoustic performance, the band hasn’t played it live yet, but they plan to debut it in its full rockin’ glory when they return to the road April 10 in New Orleans. “It’s gonna be really, really fun to play,” Kennedy predicts. “That was the whole point: Give us something aggressive that we’re gonna feel cool playing.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It fits the veneer that Aldean projects: hardened on the surface, though there’s a vulnerability underneath that allows him to inhabit the emotion in a song, even when that means there’s desperation in the lyrics.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We want to be tough guys,” he says. “We don’t want to let anybody know that they got the best of us, or that we’re sad, or that we’re heartbroken or anything. But in reality, it’s the case. I think that that’s something people can relate to.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When asked whether she still considers herself a “serial dater,” a term she’s previously applied to herself, the rapper didn’t beat around the bush. “Yes,” she told the publication. “I’m 30, so I’m ovulating and horny.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With that out of the way, Doja went on to confirm that she is in a relationship right now — but she declined to name names. She did say, however, that her current flame is planning to visit her on tour in support of last year’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a> No. 4 album <em>Vie</em>, but her favorite part about dating them is “when they leave.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This is what therapy has done for me,” she added. “It’s allowed me to be away and be at peace without being like, ‘I need tarot cards. I need an answer. Text me.’ I don’t do any of that anymore. It’s very nice.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Grammy winner was previously linked to Joseph Quinn, with whom she first <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/doja-cat-joseph-quinn-dating-rumors-fans-react-1235757093/">sparked dating rumors </a>in 2024 after <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/noah-schnapp-doja-cat-apologized-why-he-shared-dms-joseph-quinn-1235114792/">a public argument</a> in 2022 with the actor’s <em>Stranger Things </em>costar Noah Schnapp (who’d <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/doja-cat-asked-noah-schnapp-stranger-things-setup-joseph-quinn-1235111417/">posted screenshots </a>of Doja asking him whether Quinn was single without her permission). Before that, the hip-hop star was linked to musician J. Cyrus.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The situation with Schnapp — after which Doja apologized to the former child star — is one of many that illustrates her history of calling people out online. Just a few days before the <em>Vogue </em>interview was published, the musician slammed Timothée Chalamet for saying that “no one cares” about opera and ballet, shortly after which <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/doja-cat-timothee-chalamet-diss-virtue-signaling-not-proud-1236196939/">she walked back</a> on her comments and said that she’d just been “virtue signaling” with her criticism. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But Doja has also been quick in the past <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/doja-cat-tour-criticism-response-1236117570/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to hit back</a> at her own critics on social media, something she addressed in the new interview. “When I feel that I’m threatened, even though it may not be a threat at all, it rhymes with: You are failing,” she explained. “I feel like I have to defend my creative choices, and then I give those people power even though they could be anybody — they could have Cheeto dust on their fingers and have no job.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She also said that she doesn’t do that as much anymore after finding relief in therapy, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/doja-cat-borderline-personality-disorder-bpd-diagnosis-1236199328/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">having announced </a>earlier in March that she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. “I’m not cured of anything,” Doja added, noting that she thinks she’d like to be a psychologist if she weren’t an artist. “But it helps me understand why I do the things that I do.” </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The San Jose-based conference, which Nvidia CEO <strong>Jensen Huang</strong> has described as the “Super Bowl of AI,” also featured speakers from OpenAI, Amazon, Uber, PepsiCo, Stanford University and more, speaking to a wide array of topics related to generative AI. In Grainge’s fireside conversation, called “Building the Future of Music and AI,” the top music executive made a point to compare generative AI to technologies of the past, like the drum machine and digital music tools, noting that through partnership, he believes AI can be used to artists’ benefit. </p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I love change. I love disruption. I like it in my company,” Grainge said. “It’s the same with technology. We’ve always done everything that we can to lean in. It’s the same with music.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Read an excerpt of their conversation below:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Kerris: Are there areas that you refuse to compromise on [as the leader of UMG]?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Grainge:</strong> Artists and investment… If you’re inspired by something, by a piece of music, by backing someone, it’s an investment. I have to protect the investment. That is the North Star: investment. That means in people, in talent, in ideas, in music, in scenes, in genres, and now, obviously for the last 15 to 18 years, it’s investment in technology, too.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>When Spotify started, there was a lot of fear, concern, the threat of it, but you saw it differently. How did you see it as a tool in your for your company?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Every time there’s been any change — from cassettes into vinyl and obviously digital — I saw the entire creative, and sometimes the investment, community be concerned by it. I heard all the negatives about digital recording. I mean, that may sound bizarre now, but there were concerns in the artist community… I’m used to new developments and people getting used to things. Generally, when people don’t know what the future can look like, they’re obviously reticent.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You were the first company to do a deal with Facebook, I think that was a real turning point in the industry.</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We were the first people to lean in and make a deal with what was Facebook at the time and again, there were always concerns about that [among artists]. I’m used to dealing with leadership and how you persuade people into understanding what the future can look like. I’m very patient. We’re quite sequential, and if it doesn’t happen overnight, it doesn’t bother me, because where the product’s right, there’s positive inevitability to it. So [UMG was also early on] UGC, I see a lot of what we’ve developed with UGC [in AI] and [that’s] why I’m so positive about AI, in terms of its relationship with the music, the songs, the artistic expression and how it can be used, enjoyed, operated, and also how it can be monetized.</p>

	<strong>How do you look at AI like from where you’re at today, and where do you want it to go?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There’s been so much technology I mentioned briefly: digital, CD, vinyl, we talked about UGC. You [can also] look back at sampling, look back at the Fairlight, look back at drum machines. [Some believed] synthesizers were going to be the end of musicians. It was going to be the end of orchestras. But guess what? Musicians started to create with those machines… There’s all the DNA [of those previous innovations in AI]. As long as [artists are] respected, as long as there’s guardrails, as long as they’re not taken completely advantage of, stylistically and creatively… [we will] completely start to see over this next period where what the power of the possibility is [with AI]… [We are working on] partner products [in AI] that we’re going to be talking about in the next three, five, 10 years, and that’s [going to be] so powerful. That’s what’s so exciting, and for me, that’s what’s so inevitable [about AI in music].</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You talk about artist-first AI. Tell me, what are the non-negotiable parts of where you approach AI with an artist?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I think that an artist has the right to have their voice and their lyrics to be <em>their</em> work. I know that <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/taylor-swift/">Taylor Swift</a>‘s voice shouldn’t be used on someone else’s music, for example… That’s the most important thing. I can’t have an artist’s work be mimicked into something that is completely offensive to them, you and I wouldn’t want that for each other, and it’s my job to make sure that we don’t have it happen.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sombr">sombr</a> had a very special St. Patrick’s Day eve surprise in store for his fans at Dublin’s 3Arena on Monday night (March 16) when he was joined by <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-cranberries/">Cranberries</a> guitarist Noel Hogan and bassist Mike Hogan on stage. The “Back to Friends” singer invited the founding members of the Irish band to perform the group’s biggest hit, 1993’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 8 “Linger.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Wearing a bright green blouse with ruffled cuffs unbuttoned to his navel and black trousers, the singer crooned the song’s iconic, longing refrain, “You know I’m such a fool for you/ You got me wrapped around your finger/ Do you have to let it linger?/ Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?” while Noel Hogan played the track’s hypnotic guitar part.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Cranberries formed in Limerick, Ireland in 1989 and went on hiatus in 2003 before reuniting in  2009 and releasing their sixth studio album, <em>Roses</em>, in February 2012. They canceled a planned 2017 European and North American tour citing singer Dolores O’Riordan’s health issues and broke up permanently in 2018 following the tragic death of O’Riordan, 46, who accidentally drowned due to alcohol intoxication in her hotel room’s bathtub in January 2018.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	sombr, 20, made news last month when he was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/sombr-2026-brit-awards-onstage-attack-staged-1236189359/">seemingly rushed by a man</a> as he performed his hit song “Undressed” at the BRIT Awards, with the unnamed intruder pushing the singer off his platform in a shocking incident that confused the audience. Security appeared to quickly apprehend the man and escorted him away as sombr returned to the mic and completed the performance. The set continued when the glittery backdrop fell to reveal his full band, who deftly broke into somber’s chart-topping “Back to Friends,” which hit No. 1 on <em>Billboard</em>‘s Pop Airplay chart earlier this year.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Considering the man was wearing a shirt that read “Sombr is a Homewrecker,” some fans were left wondering if the entire thing was set up. Afterward, a rep for sombr (born Shane Michael Boose) confirmed that the incident was a staged part of the show.</p>

	They join a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/starlite-occident-marbella-2026-lineup-lenny-kravitz-maroon-5-1236185687/">previously announced lineup</a> headlined by Lenny Kravitz, Maroon 5, Ozuna and Yandel, as well as Grupo Frontera, Manuel Turizo, Danny Ocean, Carlos Rivera, Gente de Zona, Mau y Ricky, Elvis Crespo and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Held every summer in a natural open-air quarry in Marbella, Spain, Starlite Occident brings together rock, pop, Latin music, electronic music, jazz and international vocal powerhouses, offering an experience that combines top-tier concerts, close proximity to the artists and a premium environment far from the typical mega-festival model.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This year, it returns from June to August, with exact dates yet to be announced. For more information about the program and to purchase tickets, check out the <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://starlitefestival.com/">festival’s website</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With more than 350,000 attendees per edition and an international audience representing nearly half of its visitors, according to a press release, the festival has solidified itself as one of Marbella’s key cultural, tourist and economic drivers. At the same time, it maintains a strong philanthropic component through the Starlite Foundation, which has raised millions of euros for international charitable projects, integrating philanthropy into the heart of its mission.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sakurazaka46/">Sakurazaka46</a>‘s “The growing up train” shoots to No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/japan-hot-100/">Billboard Japan Hot 100</a>, on the chart released March 18.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The track sold 597,740 copies to top the sales metric, while also coming in at No. 9 for downloads, No. 18 for streaming, and No. 37 for radio airplay. It’s the group’s third title to surpass half a million copies on its pre-release day, following “Jigoujitoku” and “Unhappy Birthday Koubun,” and their ninth No. 1 on the Japan Hot 100.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Koshi Inaba’s “Touch” follows, rising 21-2. A cover of the Yoshimi Iwasaki pop classic from the ‘80s, the track was tapped as the Netflix official support song for the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Having launched digitally on March 6, the song surges from No. 21 to No. 2 this week with 42,231 downloads to claim No. 1 on the metric, alongside No. 3 for video views, No. 10 for streaming, and No. 2 for radio. Past catalog titles “Hane” and “Stray Hearts” have also seen daily streaming figures roughly double since Mar. 6, according to Luminate, pointing to a wave of new listeners coming.</p>

	Arashi’s “Five” slips to No. 3. Though overall numbers are down from its debut frame, the track holds at No. 1 for both video and streaming, while placing No. 2 for downloads and No. 9 for radio. M!LK’s “Bakuretsu Aishiteru” and Kenshi Yonezu’s “IRIS OUT” follow at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In other chart moves, Remioromen’s seasonal staple “Sangatsu Kokonoka” (March 9th) soars 46-11, with downloads up approximately 2.5 times week over week, streaming up roughly 1.9 times, karaoke up 1.6 times, and video up 5.2 times.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/chance-the-rapper/">Chance the Rapper</a> and his manager Pat Corcoran, who goes by Pat the Manager, were largely inseparable throughout the Chicago MC’s rise from neophyte to global superstar in the 2010s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pat served as Chance’s manager from 2012 to 2020, before he was abruptly fired when the relationship soured, and the parties went their separate ways.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Several months after being let go by Chance, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chance-the-rapper-sued-former-manager-3-million/">Corcoran filed a civil lawsuit</a> against three companies owned by the artist in November 2020, where he claimed he was owed over $3 million in royalties and unpaid commissions.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	What makes things tricky from a legal standpoint is that Chance and Pat the Manager operated with handshake and spoken agreements, rather than handwritten contracts specifying the terms of the artist-manager relationship.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Chance the Rapper (born Chancelor Bennett) attempted to get Corcoran’s case dismissed — which largely went unsuccessfully — and then <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chance-rapper-lawsuit-pat-corcoran-manager">countersued Corcoran</a> in February 2021, claiming a breach of contract and seeking $1 million in damages.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Chance has since replaced Corcoran with his father (Ken Bennett) and brother (Taylor Bennett) filling management roles on his team.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Following an extended hiatus after the release of his critically panned official debut LP <em>The Big Day</em> in 2019, Chance returned with his sophomore album, <em>Star Line</em>, last August, which debuted at No. 22 on the<a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/"> Billboard 200</a>. He then hit the road for his first headlining tour of the 2020s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With the trail of Corcoran’s lawsuit against Chance now underway in Illinois, here’s a timeline untangling the legal mess between Chance the Rapper and his former manager.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a Wednesday (March 18) cover story interview with <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://variety.com/2026/tv/features/miley-cyrus-hannah-montana-anniversary-interview-1236690938/">Variety</a> </em>honoring the upcoming <em>Hannah Montana </em>anniversary special, Cyrus finally shared her thoughts. “I always think the Super Bowl feels like too much pressure,” she began. “I would have to do the mental work of making it not about the Super Bowl, because then you can’t help but go, ‘It’s millions of people, and it’s the most watched thing in the world.’” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That said, the Grammy winner believes she could pull it off, so long as could approach the event as a celebration of her two-decade career rather than focusing on the more than 100 million people watching her perform. She took a similar approach to <em>Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special</em>, which premieres March 24 on <a href="https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/Ko4K7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Disney+</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“But if I could find a way to make it exactly what the Hannah-versary was — taking a journey through the discography and appreciating each song, each era for what it is — I think I could find it in myself,” she added of the Big Game.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Hannah Montana </em>kickstarted Cyrus’ career in 2006, propelling the then-teenager to global superstardom and serving as a launching pad for her for pop music career. Since then, she’s scored 63 hits on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> — including No. 1 singles “Wrecking Ball” and “Flowers” — and has had five albums peak atop the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With such a sprawling catalog, many fans think Cyrus would be perfect to headline the next Super Bowl — taking place on Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. — after Bad Bunny conquered the stage in 2026. It also can’t hurt that she’s close with Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s camp after collaborating with the former on “II Most Wanted.” The rapper’s Roc Nation has curated the halftime show performer every year since 2019.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/drake/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/drake/">Drake</a> is always watching.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Toronto rapper surprised a fan by sending a DM via Instagram, encouraging him to break down more of his music on social media after <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.instagram.com/dylangarcai/reels/" data-type="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/dylangarcai/reels/" target="_blank">Dylan Garcia’s explainers of Drake’s songs, bars and beefs</a> went viral.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“New breakdowns coming Dylan,” the message reads in the screenshot Garcia posted recently.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He posted the first video in his series entitled “Explaining Drake songs to my girlfriend” about a week ago, and it has since clocked in around 2 million views.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Each video shows Garcia and his shorty sitting in a car listening to Drake songs as she asks questions and he tries to answer them for her. And then after his videos have been racking up views, he <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV7OghxEiVn/" data-type="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV7OghxEiVn/" target="_blank">posted an update</a> over the weekend revealing that not only did Drake send him a message, but he followed him as well. After his girlfriend Char asked what the message meant, Dylan replied, “It means he’s releasing his new album soon and we’re going to have some new breakdowns to do.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Drake has been rolling out <em><a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-iceman-new-album-everything-we-know-what-did-i-miss" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/drake-iceman-new-album-everything-we-know-what-did-i-miss">Iceman</a></em> for about a year now, with the first episode of the YouTube series being posted on his account on July 5, 2025. Drake also released the single “<a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/drake-what-did-i-miss-song-kendrick-lamar-feud-1236014475/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/drake-what-did-i-miss-song-kendrick-lamar-feud-1236014475/">What Did I Miss?</a>” on the same day. Speaking of which, Garcia’s Instagram reel explaining one of the lines from “What Did I Miss?” has garnered <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVzgDgaEuQp/" data-type="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVzgDgaEuQp/" target="_blank">4 million views and counting</a>. Not sure if he’s explaining it right aside from the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tlc/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tlc/">TLC</a>, Chilli and <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/left-eye/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/left-eye/">Left Eye</a> reference, but you can be the judge.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Iceman</em> soon cometh (we hope).</p>

	The Kennedy Center’s board of directors voted on Monday to shut down operations for two years following this summer’s July 4 celebrations. The widely expected decision comes in the wake of numerous resignations and cancellations during President Donald Trump’s second term, although Trump himself has cited the need for repairs as a reason for the closure.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We’re going to ensure it remains the finest performing arts facility of its kind anywhere in the world,” Trump told reporters at the White House before the board met Monday.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The board also voted to install <strong>Matt Floca</strong> as CEO and executive director, replacing Trump ally <strong>Richard Grenell</strong>, who oversaw far-reaching changes at the venue that prompted an outcry from many artists and exacerbated the operation’s financial challenges. Trump praised Grenell on Monday, saying he had been a longtime friend, and wished Floca “good luck with everything.”<br><br>The Kennedy Center said the vote was unanimous, though Rep. Joyce Beatty didn’t cast a vote. The Ohio Democrat is an ex officio member of the board and sued to preclude the Trump administration from excluding her from Monday’s meeting. Over the weekend, a federal judge ruled she was entitled to participate in the meeting but didn’t require that the board allow her to vote.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Trump hosted the board meeting at the White House in a reminder of the influence he has held over the Kennedy Center during his second term. Shortly after returning to office last year, Trump ousted the center’s previous leadership and replaced it with a hand-picked board of trustees that named him chairman. He also brought in Grenell, who served in a variety of capacities during Trump’s first term, when the president mostly ignored the Kennedy Center.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The center’s lineup has since included more Trump-friendly programming, including serving as the venue for the premiere of first lady Melania Trump’s documentary, “Melania.” The board also announced it had renamed the facility the Trump Kennedy Center, a change scholars and lawmakers say must be initiated by Congress, and physically added the president’s name to the building’s facade.<br><br>The fallout from the arts community was swift and intense. Actor Issa Rae, musician Bela Fleck and author Louise Penny were among the numerous artists who withdrew from appearances, while consultants such as musician Ben Folds and singer Renée Fleming resigned. Earlier this month, the executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra, Jean Davidson, left to head the Los Angeles-based Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Without mentioning the abandoned performances, Trump said in February he would close the Kennedy Center to fix what he has described as a dilapidated building.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ahead of the closure, Grenell warned staff about impending cuts that will leave “skeletal teams.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Floca, Grenell’s successor, had been serving as vice president of operations. According to his LinkedIn page, he joined the Kennedy Center in January 2024, during the Biden administration.<br><br>A center press release from the time describes him as “an experienced facilities management professional with a construction management background and an appreciation for whole building design principles.”<br><br>Previous experience for Floca listed on LinkedIn includes a handful of positions with the District of Columbia government, among them associate director of sustainability and energy and director of facilities management. He graduated from Louisiana State University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in construction management.</p>

	The group decided to stay in a hotel for the night, though due to the blizzard conditions, tow services were halted in the area, so local police from Pella, Iowa, took LANCO band members, as well as show openers Willie Tate and Dawson Anderson, along with some crew members to nearby hotels.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	LANCO’s bus driver opted to stay behind on the bus but ultimately awoke to the bus on fire in the early morning hours of Monday (March 16). The driver was able to escape the fire with only minor injuries. Though the band’s equipment trailer survived the fire, the group did lose some instruments when the bus was engulfed in flames.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	LANCO lead singer Brandon Lancaster told <em>Billboard</em> in a statement, “It’s been a surreal 18 hours honestly, and we are so thankful that everyone on board is safe and sound. It was a very scary situation and I can’t imagine what would have happened if we all decided to sleep on the bus. I know God was watching over us.”</p>

	The group is still in Pella, Iowa, and their next tour date is <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://lancomusic.com/#shows" data-type="link" href="https://lancomusic.com/#shows" target="_blank">scheduled</a> for March 26 in St. Augustine, Florida.</p>

	The ACM Award-winning LANCO formed nearly a decade ago and includes members Brandon Lancaster (lead vocals), Chandler Baldwin (bass), Tripp Howell (drums), Jared Hampton (keyboard/guitar) and Tim Aven (guitar). The group is known for songs including its 5x multi-Platinum RIAA-certified hit “Greatest Love Story,” which also topped <em>Billboard</em>‘s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/country-airplay/">Country Airplay</a> chart for two weeks in 2017. They also earned a Country Airplay top 20 hit in 2018 with “Born to Love You.” The group’s <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=lanco#search_section" data-type="link" href="https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=lanco#search_section" target="_blank">song</a> “Hallelujah Nights” was RIAA-certified gold.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pooh-shiesty/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pooh-shiesty/">Pooh Shiesty</a> thinks Nike owes him a check.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	During a recent episode of <em>Complex’s Sneaker Shopping</em>, host Joe La Puma brought up <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/asap-rocky/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/asap-rocky/">A$AP Rocky</a>‘s appearance on <em><a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi2LKtOnGd4" data-type="link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi2LKtOnGd4" target="_blank">The Questlove Show</a></em>, where the Harlem rapper revealed that he throws on a balaclava —which has since become synonymous with the Memphis rapper — whenever he hops on a train to maneuver through his hometown unnoticed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When I take the train, I put a Pooh Shiesty on,” Rocky told <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/questlove/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/questlove/">Questlove</a>. “Sometimes I’m by myself. Sometimes I’m with security. I take the train to keep myself grounded.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Someone off camera then tossed La Puma a package of a Nike Hyperwarm Knit Hood and the two got into how the fashion accessory has become known as a “shiesty,” with Pooh saying, “Come on, man. That’s supposed to me right there, man.” Adding, “For real, these junks get you through some places, you know? Like he told you, he snuck through the subway. Wouldn’t be able to do that with no regular [look.]”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When asked if he knew him throwing on a “shiesty” would become so influential, he replied that he never really thought anything of it at first. “Nah, I ain’t think that,” he answered. “But you know a lot of stuff a man do, a lot of people gravitate to.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pooh Shiesty’s bubbling career hit a snag back in 2022 when he was <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/pooh-shiesty-sentenced-prison-1235061607/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/pooh-shiesty-sentenced-prison-1235061607/">sentenced to five years</a> in prison for a gun case, but hit the ground running after <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/pooh-shiesty-released-from-prison-early-1236083505/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/pooh-shiesty-released-from-prison-early-1236083505/">his release</a> last October with the single “<a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/pooh-shiesty-fdo-number-1-debut-hot-rb-hip-hop-songs-chart-1236145436/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/pooh-shiesty-fdo-number-1-debut-hot-rb-hip-hop-songs-chart-1236145436/">FDO</a>” that has been on the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> going on 12 weeks now.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Thanks to Netflix, we’re about to get a BTS look at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bts/">BTS</a> themselves.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Four years after announcing their hiatus, K-pop royalty BTS are finally back. On Monday (March 16), Netflix shared a new trailer for <em>BTS: The Return</em>, a forthcoming documentary following the group’s epic return to the stage. In the trailer, the group’s seven members speak about the pressures of returning to an ever-changing industry together after an extended period of time apart.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Trends shift every season. Standing still isn’t an option,” says RM. “And we’re trying to find out what makes us BTS.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s clear from the teaser that viewers will get an inside look at exactly that — what makes BTS, BTS — as the camera follows them from the studio to the tour bus and from Seoul to L.A. What we also learn from the trailer is that though the group is rightfully nervous about making such a big return, they are also excited. Despite the pressure on them, they know that making music and performing together are exactly what they’re supposed to be doing.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We are finally back where we’re meant to be,” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jimin/">Jimin</a> says in the teaser. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After six <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> No. 1s, becoming the first K-pop act to receive a Grammy nomination and the formation of one of the most dedicated fanbases ever, BTS announced an extended hiatus in 2022. The decision to take a break came about due to desires to work on solo projects as well as members’ need to fulfill South Korea’s mandatory military duty. Though the break was originally described as “indefinite,” the band’s members knew that they would find their way back to one another again.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I think that change is what we need right now,” J-Hope in the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bts-announce-hiatus-1235087020/">hour-long FESTA dinner </a>where the announcement was first made. “It’s important for BTS to start our second chapter.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That second chapter is finally here. Back in January, the group announced their return and the release date for their highly anticipated fifth studio album <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/bts-new-album-arirang-everything-we-know-so-far/">Arirang</a></em>, set to be released on Friday March 20. Alongside dropping the new album, BTS has also partnered with Netflix on the upcoming documentary as well as a live comeback concert. The concert, airing from Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square, will stream on the platform on Saturday March 21, the day after the album drops. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A week following the album’s release, <em>BTS: The Return</em> will chronicle the process of rebuilding BTS, working together for the first time in nearly half a decade and making new music that is fresh but still distinctly BTS. The feature-length film is directed by Bao Nguyen (<em>The Stringer,</em> <em>The Greatest Night in Pop</em>) and produced by This Machine and HYBE.</p>

	We’ve all seen an Oscar recipient played off by the orchestra before, so why did it feel especially brutal when the songwriting team behind best original song winner “Golden” from <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> was cut off on Sunday night?</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the new <em>Billboard Pop Shop Podcast</em>, Katie & Keith are discussing the moment, which has been nine months in the making, ever since the animated hit premiered on Netflix in June. The breakout smash song from the project, “Golden,” ended up spending eight weeks at No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> and won a Golden Globe and a Grammy on its way to Oscar glory. Many viewers — especially younger fans and K-pop listeners — were likely <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/oscars-backlash-golden-kpop-demon-hunters-speeches-cut-off-1236200152/">tuning in for this award</a>, in addition to the dynamic performance of the HUNTR/X song minutes earlier. So when EJAE gave her heartfelt speech and then began to pass to her fellow songwriters only for them to be <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/golden-kpop-demon-hunters-oscars-2026-speech-interrupted-1236199919/">cut off by music and a commercial break</a>, it felt like a missed opportunity not to be able to hear from Yu-Han Lee and Mark Sonnenblick about the historic win — though the two songwriters were able to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/kpop-demon-hunters-songwriters-finish-oscars-speeches-backstage-1236200008/">share their speeches backstage</a> after the show, if not to the millions of viewers at home.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Listen to Katie & Keith’s full conversation about the moment below:</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Harry Styles goes 4-for-4 on the Billboard 200, scoring his fourth No. 1 debut, which is the entirety of his charting releases. Has anyone else seen their first four chart entries debut at No. 1?</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kelly-clarkson/">Kelly Clarkson</a> made her advantage count on the Season 29 premiere of <em><a data-id="79934" data-type="post" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/the-voice-79934/">The Voice</a></em> Battles round Monday night (March 16), deploying her coveted “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXKK0at8cs4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Super Steal</a>” to keep Liv Ciara on Team Kelly after losing the head-to-head battle to Mikenley Brown — blocking both <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-legend/">John Legend</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/adam-levine/">Adam Levine</a>, who had also turned to steal her.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Clarkson earned the Super Steal — a first in the show’s history — by winning the Triple Turn Competition during the Blind Auditions, which grants her the power to override any other coach’s steal attempt. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The move made for one of the night’s most dramatic moments, with all three coaches attempting to claim Ciara before Clarkson exercised her override.</p>

<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The night’s standout battle came early, when Team Kelly’s Liv Ciara and Mikenley Brown went head-to-head on H.E.R.’s “Focus.” Levine called it “the best Battle round I’ve ever heard” across his many seasons on the show. Brown ultimately advanced, while Ciara stayed on Team Kelly via the Super Steal.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Guest advisors Jennifer Hudson with Team Kelly, Benji Madden with Team Adam and Muni Long with Team Legend worked with artists in rehearsals ahead of the performances. Hudson’s involvement carried additional context — she stepped in to run Team Kelly’s rehearsals after Clarkson missed sessions following the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/brandon-blackstock-cause-death-melanoma-kelly-clarkson-ex-1236040537/" data-type="post" data-id="1236040537">death of her ex-husband</a>, Brandon Blackstock.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Other notable results from the night: Team Adam’s Bay Simpson bested Hunter Jordan in a tense country battle on Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem,” while Team Legend’s Lucas West edged out 14-year-old AJ Robinson on “Wanted.” Alexia Jayy won her battle for Team Adam, with Legend using his steal to claim Moses G. for Team Legend.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>The Voice: Battle of Champions</em> airs Mondays at 9/8c on NBC and streams the following day on Peacock. Season 29 features the show’s first-ever three-coach lineup, with all three coaches — Clarkson, Levine and Legend — being previous winners of the competition.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/concerts/bluesfest-2026-sideshows-1236110205/" data-type="post" data-id="1236110205">cancellation of Bluesfest 2026</a> is already sending shockwaves through the touring ecosystem, with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/counting-crows/">Counting Crows</a> frontman Adam Duritz warning that many acts on the festival’s bill may cancel their entire Australian runs — and that the fallout could discourage international artists from returning to the country in the future.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Duritz, whose band are currently touring Australia in support of their latest album <em>Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!</em>, confirmed that Counting Crows would not be cancelling their own shows — three of which are sold out — but painted a stark picture of the financial reality facing many of their peers on the bill.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That’s going to be devastating for a lot of people’s bottom line because you set up a tent pole like Bluesfest, where for a lot of people, it’s probably the highest paying gig on the tour,” Duritz told News.com.au. “And then it just goes, especially when it goes in this way.” He added that most acts had likely not received upfront payment for their Bluesfest performances and that insurance is unlikely to cover the shortfall following the festival’s liquidation.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The structural economics of Australian touring, Duritz explained, make it nearly impossible to profit even under ideal conditions. Without the anchor of a major festival fee, the math gets worse. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“There’s all these bands coming, and if you’re Buddy Guy or you’re The Wailers or you are The Black Crowes, none of those bands are making a gazillion dollars right now touring,” he said. “And you plan a trip to Australia; you’re going to be barely breaking even or losing some money… it spreads out to the other promoters who have got all these gigs planned.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Despite his own band’s commitment to their dates, Duritz said he believes others on the cancelled lineup will pull the plug. He also cautioned that the incident would linger in the minds of international artists weighing future Australian runs. “Believe me, there’s no one on earth who doesn’t want to come to Australia every year; it’s f—ing beautiful, people are great,” he said. “But it’s so expensive to tour here. You don’t have buses here because it’s too big, so all the travel is flights. We’re a rock band, and we want to play in Australia, but it’s a struggle not to lose money.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!</em>, released May 9, 2025 via BMG, is the band’s first full-length studio album since 2014’s <em>Somewhere Under Wonderland</em> and their eighth overall. Counting Crows released six albums that reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 during their peak run, including <em>Recovering the Satellites</em>, which debuted at No. 1 in 1996. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bluesfest 2026 was cancelled on March 13 after organizers cited rising costs and soft ticket demand, with a liquidator appointed to manage financial matters.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 2025, Lola Amour, one of the Philippines’ most iconic bands, won the Special Award: Philippine Popular Music at MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN, sometimes known as the “Asian Grammys.” Their 2025 release “The Moment” drew extra attention because it featured Kokoro Kohatsu of PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE, but the collaboration between these two artists went beyond just this song. Kokoro also made a surprise appearance in January of this year when Lola Amour played in Japan for the first time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Billboard JAPAN had the chance to speak with Lola Amour and Kohatsu and learn about how their collaboration has impacted each other.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What led to Kokoro working on “The Moment?”</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio Dumayas (vocals/guitar): We’re both part of Warner Music, and I happened to come across PSYCHIC FEVER’s “Gelato.” The song got all of us in the band excited, and we had a blast singing it a cappella. We uploaded a video of us singing it as an Instagram Story, and PSYCHIC FEVER reacted. That led to us to talking to each other online, and to Kokoro performing on our song, “The Moment.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Kokoro, what did you think when you got the collaboration offer from Lola Amour?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kokoro: PSYCHIC FEVER had never been to the Philippines, so I was really happy that they got in touch with me. I liked the song, too, so I decided to put my heart into it, because I felt like we could get a good chemical reaction going.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Manu Dumayas (trumpet/guitar/bass): When we asked him to work with us on “The Moment,” he was so enthusiastic, with this vibe of “I’ll do anything,” so the collaboration went really smoothly. And we got along super well, with a similar sense of humor, so working together was a lot of fun.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	David Yuhico (keyboards): I’m sure at the start there must have been some things he felt lost about, but he gladly took on any request. He was just so friendly, and the creation process went smoothly. He has a wonderful singing voice and overflows with talent. I think Kokoro’s voice was the key to perfecting “The Moment.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>The first time you performed together live was in Manila, at the </strong><strong><em>Lola Amour Presents Love on Loop ALBUM CONCERT</em></strong><strong> in September 2025, right?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio: The first time we met was when he came to Manila to rehearse for the show. We’d never had the opportunity to do something like this with another artist, and we’re shy, so before we met him we were all nervous. But when we met him, and we gave him some of our own band merch, it turns out he’d also brought PSYCHIC FEVER merch for us. We taught him some Tagalog and went out to eat together, and we hit it off. Now we’re good friends.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	David: When he came to the studio to rehearse, we gave him the Tagalog lyrics, which he learned incredibly quickly. Everything went so much faster than I’d expected, so I remember thinking “This collaboration is going to be an absolute success. And I just know the show will go well, too.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Then at the show, you didn’t just perform “The Moment” together, you also joined each other on “Gelato” and “Raining In Manila,” right?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio: We’d put “Gelato” on our own socials, and Kokoro could sing “Raining In Manila,” so we decided to perform it at the show. I’m sure he must have been a bit nervous, but he didn’t look it at all, which was great. Even though it was our first time playing together, he was ad-libbing and striking poses, which was amazing. Thanks to his influence, I’ve been putting my own spin on things when I play now, too.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jeff Abueg (saxophone/clarinet): Kokoro’s Tagalog was so perfect people were commenting “is he Filipino?” His accent is great, too.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Raffy Perez (drums): Listeners have reacted really well to the collaboration with Kokoro. Not just Filipinos, but listeners in other countries, too. They love that we performed together. It was truly a successful collab.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio: I think people can feel that this wasn’t a business-focused team-up, it was a collaboration based on our matching musical sensibilities and our strong personal relationship.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You also collaborated on stage in Japan in January.</strong> <strong>What was it like when Kokoro performed in his own country?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio: As always, he looked totally relaxed, like he wasn’t nervous at all. He was also really good at working the audience. He led me when we sang “Gelato,” and he smoothly covered for the parts that I struggled with, which I’m so thankful for.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kokoro: It’s rare for me to perform “Gelato” on my own, with a band, so I tried out a few things in advance to see how to best get the crowd going. Above all, I wanted for Lola Amour and me to have fun, so I maintained good eye contact, and I tried to get the audience moving, too, so we’d all have fun together. When I tried it out during rehearsal, the members of Lola Amour reacted really well, so I decided to go with it during the actual performance. If I’d been on my own, I doubt I’d have been able to unite with the audience and get the whole venue moving like we did, so I’m very thankful to Lola Amour.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>I heard that one member of the music industry, on seeing your collaboration, called you the Asian version of Silk Sonic.</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio: That’s such an honor. Having played as a band for a decade or so, and meeting Kokoro and doing this collab, and then someone saying that about us? That really drives home what a success this collaboration was. We’ll try our best to live up to that description.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What do you think were the biggest fruits of the collaboration?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio: The blossoming friendship we developed is huge. Japan and the Philippines are very culturally different, so I think we were able to teach each other a lot. It was a very meaningful collaboration for us as artists, too. As I said earlier, Kokoro is great at controlling the crowd. I learned a lot from watching how he got the audience amped up even when it was full of our own fans. Another reason he’s fun to be around is we eat so much together (laughs). He’s given us a lot to grow on. It’s only been six months since we performed together, but I feel like we’ve gotten something that we’ll be taking with us long into the future.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kokoro: Being able to develop a relationship like this across national lines—it’s just not something that happens all that often in one’s life. I learned from them by seeing how serious they are in their approach to music, and how when they’re up on stage, the focus isn’t on one member or another, but instead each and every member is the main character. It felt like the kind of stage performance where every single person is indispensible, and I want to apply that experience to PSYCHIC FEVER, too. I was so glad that we were able to transcend language barriers to share music. The audience reactions at the shows were great, both in the Philippines and in Japan, which impressed on me that there are unlimited opportunities for cross-national performances.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pio: At the show in Japan, the whole band covered “Gelato.” I’d like to brainstorm with Kokoro about what song to cover next. Also, I’d love to take time to write a song together from the ground up.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kokoro: We’ve built good rapport as artists, so I think it would be great if we could do a new collab together. Listening to what Pio was saying right now, I was imagining what that would be like. We each cover a wide range of musical genres, so I think there’s a lot of potential.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>This collaboration between the Philippines and Japan has broadened the horizons of music across national lines, and Lola Amour and PSYCHIC FEVER are hinting at more to come, so you’ll want to keep a close eye on these amazing artists.</strong></p>

				<div class="pmc-not-a-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After three decades living outside of Uruguay, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jorge-drexler/">Jorge Drexler </a>felt the urge to strengthen his connection with his homeland. The moment coincided with several significant events in his life: the death of his father, as well as the discovery of a new generation of Uruguayan musicians that fascinated him and the notable evolution of candombe, a traditional Uruguayan music and dance declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2009.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Organically, candombe ended up being the thread that ties his new album, <em>Taracá</em>, together. The 11-track set, released on Friday (March 13) under Sony Music Spain, offers listeners a complete sonic experience, with lyrics and drums as protagonists in almost all the songs. The title comes from an onomatopoeia for the sound of the small drum or <em>tambor chico</em>. The other possible translation is more symbolic and means “estar acá,” “to be here.” Or, as they would abbreviate colloquially in the Río de la Plata region, “tar acá.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This is an album of mourning, but for some strange reason, it has a clear celebratory nature,” Drexler tells <em>Billboard Español</em>. “It’s an album very much for the body, for dancing. Grief and despair take unpredictable forms, and sometimes what one does to save oneself from despair is singing.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Taracá</em> is the first album he has recorded in Uruguay in 20 years, although he also worked on it in Puerto Rico and Spain. For this production, the Oscar and Latin Grammy-winning artist collaborated with guest ranging from Puerto Rican urban star Young Miko to Uruguayans Rueda de Candombe, Américo Young, the murga group Falta y Resto, guitarist Julio Cobeli, and the Spanish cantaora Ángeles Toledano. As for producers, it features names like Lucas Piedra Cueva, Facundo Balta, Mauro, Tadu Vázquez, Gabo Lugo, Andrés “Fofo” Story, and Carles “Campi” Campón.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Drexler explains that his new LP is presented as a work of generational and geographical, stylistic, and temporal bridges. An example of this is the track “¿Qué Será Que Es?,” a Spanish adaptation of the iconic “O Que É, O Que É?” by Brazilian Gonzaguinha. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Access Hollywood</em> gained infamy in the 2016 election cycle. On Oct. 7, 2016, one month before that year’s presidential election, <em>The Washington Post</em> published a video and article about then-presidential candidate <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/donald-trump/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/donald-trump/">Donald Trump</a> and TV host Billy Bush having a lewd conversation about women. In the video, which was recorded in September 2015, Trump and Bush were on a bus on their way to film an episode of <em>Access Hollywood</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	News of the recording broke two days before the second presidential debate between Trump, the Republican nominee, and Democratic nominee <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/hillary-clinton/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/hillary-clinton/">Hillary Clinton</a>. For his part in the conversation, Bush was fired from his position as a host on <em>Today</em>, another show owned by NBCUniversal. Trump was not similarly penalized. On Nov. 8, he won the 2016 election.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	NBCUniversal is also cutting several of its other daytime talk shows, effectively ending its first run syndication business. Talk shows <em>Karamo</em> and <em>The Steve Wilkos Show</em>, produced out of NBC’s facility in Stamford, Conn., are shutting down. The programs have already completed their production for the season and will run through the summer.<em>The Steve Wilkos Show </em>ran for 19 seasons.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	NBC previously announced that <em>The Kelly Clarkson Show</em> is ending later this year after seven highly successful seasons.</p>

	Francis Berwick, chairman of Bravo and Peacock unscripted, said in a statement that the company will continue to distribute library episodes of its talk programs and network shows such as <em>Law & Order</em>. But NBCU’s days of launching series for daytime and the hour before prime time have come to an end.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“NBCUniversal is making changes to our first-run syndication division to better align with the programming preferences of local stations,” Berwick said. “The company will remain active in the distribution of our existing program library and other off-network titles, while winding down production of our first-run shows.”</p>

<media:keywords>Trump, Ally, Richard, Grenell, Step, Down, Kennedy, Center President</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Richard Grenell</strong>, an ally of President Donald Trump who oversaw far reaching changes at the Kennedy Center that prompted many artists to abandon the iconic performing arts venue, will step down as the institution’s president.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Trump announced the change in a social media post on Friday after it was first reported by <em>Axios</em>. The president said <strong>Matt Floca</strong>, who manages the Kennedy Center’s facilities operations, will succeed Grenell. The moves are expected to be finalized at a board meeting scheduled for Monday at the White House, according to a person familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss plans that are not yet public.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Grenell’s departure comes as the Kennedy Center prepares to close this summer for a two-year renovation.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Ric Grenell has done an excellent job in helping to coordinate various elements of the Center during the transition period, and I want to thank him for the outstanding work he has done,” Trump said online. “THE TRUMP KENNEDY CENTER will be, at its completion, the finest facility of its kind anywhere in the World!”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Grenell was a central player in Trump’s push to dramatically overhaul the Kennedy Center following the president’s return to office. After mostly ignoring the center during his first term, Trump made it a focal point in his war against “woke” culture. He ousted the Kennedy Center’s previous leadership and replaced it with a hand-picked board of trustees who voted to rename the facility the Trump Kennedy Center, a change scholars and lawmakers say must be initiated by Congress.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	More recently, Trump’s name was physically added to the building’s iconic facade.<br><br>The fallout from the arts community was swift and intense, with prominent musicals, such as “Hamilton,” canceling performances. Actor Issa Rae and author Louise Penny also withdrew from appearances while consultants such as musician Ben Folds and singer Renée Fleming resigned. Last week, the executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra, Jean Davidson, left to head the Los Angeles-based Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.<br><br><strong>The Kennedy Center was long known as an apolitical space</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perhaps best known for its annual honors program, the Kennedy Center was long one of the few places in Washington where political differences were put aside. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg — ideological opposites — famously attended the opera together.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But the venue became something of an extension of Trump’s White House during his second term. The president was instrumental in convincing FIFA President Gianni Infantino to hold the World Cup draw there in December. Just a few days later, Trump himself hosted the Kennedy Center honors, the first for a president.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Since then, Trump has addressed House Republicans at the Kennedy Center. The documentary of first lady Melania Trump also premiered there.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Grenell is a longtime Republican foreign policy adviser. During Trump’s first term, he was the U.S. ambassador to Germany and special presidential envoy for Serbia and Kosovo peace negotiations. He also served as acting director of national intelligence and was considered a contender for secretary of state in Trump’s second term, a post that ultimately went to Marco Rubio.<br><br>In his position at the Kennedy Center, Grenell emphasized what he called “common sense” programming, aiming to steer the venue toward events that appealed to a broad audience and didn’t lose money. But his moves prompted criticism from many Democrats on Capitol Hill.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, the top Democrat on the Environment and Public Works Committee, released documents in November showing the Kennedy Center entered into an agreement giving FIFA “exclusive” use of the facility from Nov. 24 through Dec. 12 at no cost, arguing that the venue was at risk of losing millions in potential revenue because of the arrangement.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Kennedy Center told the <em>AP</em> at the time that it was being paid $7.4 million to host the draw, including a $2.4 million donation from FIFA, as well as sponsorship opportunities and expenses. In a response to Whitehouse, Grenell said he raised $117 million last year.<br><br>But the wave of cancellations proved difficult to sustain. Without mentioning the abandoned performances, Trump said in February he would close the Kennedy Center for two years after this summer’s July Fourth celebrations to repair what he has described as a dilapidated building.<br>Ahead of the closure, Grenell warned staff about impending cuts that will leave “skeletal teams.”<br>According to Floca’s LinkedIn page, he joined the Kennedy Center in January 2024, during the Biden administration.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A center press release from the time describes him as “an experienced facilities management professional with a construction management background and an appreciation for whole building design principles.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Previous experience for Floca listed on LinkedIn includes a handful of positions with the District of Columbia government, among them associate director of sustainability and energy and director of facilities management. He graduated from Louisiana State University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in construction management.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-all-american-rejects/">The All-American Rejects</a>‘ comeback continuing into 2026 with AAR’s first album since 2012, <em>Sandbox</em>, which arrives in May, band members Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler stopped by the Billboard House @ SXSW on Friday (March 13).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a conversation with <em>Billboard</em> co-chief content officer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/author/jason-lipshutz/">Jason Lipshutz,</a> the band members discussed a range of topics, including shifting to an independent model in the current landscape after dominating the mainstream, their viral backyard tour, and making their first album nearly 14 years ago.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Clips from performances on the backyard tour took over social media and packed on a heavy dose of nostalgia and brought the band closer together. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“While we were in the belly of that beast, when we were a week in and it was popping off, it felt like we were holding the tail of the dragon, man,” Ritter raved. “Those shows were the greatest things I’ve ever been a part of, let alone been to, let alone performed in.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The idea for the backyard tour across America came from their manager, Meghan Kraemer. “That created something — especially being from Oklahoma — it felt like the shows we were playing when we were kids,” Ritter added. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After dominating the 2000s with Interscope Records, the band chose to pursue an independent route for its new music out of necessity. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Nobody wanted to touch us,” Ritter revealed. “Nobody wanted to really roll the dice on us as far as new music is concerned, including the management we had at the time… Independence was what we had to do to continue the story of this band.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With their first album in 13 years, Ritter and Wheeler focused on ensuring the band could grow its artistry through new music, rather than attempting to recreate the magic of decades past. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“My fear for this band was can we grow together musically? The last thing we wanted to do was reach into some bag and be like, ‘Cool, this looks just like it used to and sounds like it used to, let’s go make a transactional experience for our fans of the lackluster watered-down concentrate of the juice they were drinking 20 years ago,” Ritter continued. “I’m happy I believe in what we’re doing.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Wheeler echoed a similar sentiment. “That’s the only reason we’re doing it. We would’ve been happy to ride off into the sunset and play state fairs and casinos,” the guitarist said. “We always said we wouldn’t even attempt this again unless we really wanted to and we were excited about it and wanted to challenge ourselves again.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to panel conversations all weekend, Billboard House is also hosting daily performers, with Dizzy Fae, Alicia Creti, Kairo Keyz and Babyfxce E taking the stage on Friday’s day 1. DJ Cortez also provided daytime sounds for the space.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Look for <em>Sandbox</em> to arrive on May 15. Watch the full interview with The All-American Rejects here. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/don-toliver/">Don Toliver</a> made the quantum leap to rap’s A list with the arrival of the Houston native’s<em> OCTANE</em> album in January. Toliver’s fifth LP topped the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> with 162,000 album units earned — his first No. 1 — and all 18 tracks landed on the<a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/"> Billboard Hot 100. </a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The 31-year-old stopped by the Billboard House @ SXSW on Friday (March 13) ahead of his headlining performance later that night at The Stage at SXSW. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sitting down with <em>Billboard</em> staff writer Michael Saponara, Toliver discussed <em>OCTANE</em>‘s success, having <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/travis-scott">Travis Scott</a> as a mentor, sampling <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/justin-timberlake">Justin Timberlake </a>on “BODY” and already starting to work on his next album. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Even six weeks after its arrival, “BODY” currently remains inside the Hot 100’s top 25 (No. 23). Toliver gushed about his fandom of Timberlake, but admitted he didn’t initially recognize the “Rock Your Body” sample when he was recording the track. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Honestly, I love Justin Timberlake a lot. My mom played him, Pharrell and Outkast and all these crazy great artists when I was growing up as a kid in the car,” Toliver explained. “I got a lot of fond memories of that. Justin Timberlake is always one of my favorites. <em>Justified</em>, that album is literally in my top 10 favorite albums of all time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He continued: “I didn’t think that deep into it. As I sat with it for like a week, I was like, ‘Hold on, this is literally one of my favorite songs of all-time.’ ‘Rock Your Body’ is one of those songs that triggers an endorphin in my body. To put those two together was so iconic for me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Toliver reconnected with his Cactus Jack mentor, Travis Scott, on<em> OCTANE</em> standout “Rosary,” but it was an 11th-hour appearance from La Flame, who sent over his vocals nearly at the buzzer. Their relationship has grown since Don T signed to Cactus Jack in partnership with Atlantic Records in 2018. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I really try to keep the relationship that me and him have as far away from music as I can sometimes,” he said. “At the end of the day, we are human beings.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Toliver added: “This album, I was like, ‘Whatever Travis wanna do — he could pull up however he wanna do it. I just wanted to make sure he understood my journey with the music when I played it for him. He just caught a vibe for ‘Rosary’ and he understood my idea for it. It was crazy, I really love his verse on the song.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Even though <em>OCTANE</em> arrived less than two months ago, Toliver revealed he’s already working on his next album. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I am already working on my next album,” he said. “To be honest, bro, I just realized within myself that I just love music and I just feel like right now if I don’t put out anything, I just need to capture this moment because it’s a lot going on in my life when I was making this album and when it came out and it’s just fueling me to be as creative as I can possibly be.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to panel conversations all weekend, Billboard House is also hosting daily performers, with Dizzy Fae, Alicia Creti, Kairo Keyz and Babyfxce E taking the stage on Friday’s day 1. DJ Cortez also provided daytime sounds for the space.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/the-pretty-reckless">The Pretty Reckless</a> are back with new music and a new album. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Taylor Momsen-fronted rock band has announced their fifth studio album, <em>DEAR GOD</em>, due June 26 via Fearless Records, and released its lead single “When I Wake Up” on Saturday (March 14).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Described by the band as one of their most raw and uncompromising records yet, <em>DEAR GOD</em> was built around diaristic songwriting, vulnerability and artistic freedom. The 14-track set will also include “For I Am Death,” the band’s chart-topping single from last year. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A headlining world tour in support of the album was also announced, with North American dates in New Orleans, Dallas and Los Angeles before heading to Europe.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Momsen described the new single as a cautionary descent. “It’s the story of a dream becoming a nightmare,” she said in a statement. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When a life of excess leads you on a rollercoaster that is doomed to crash but you just can’t see it. It’s a good time…” Musically, “When I Wake Up” leans into a punk-driven sound while retaining the band’s signature explosive guitars and Momsen’s powerhouse vocals.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The announcement follows a busy stretch for the group. The band performed at the 2026 MusiCares Person of the Year gala honoring Mariah Carey, appeared at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony — where Momsen performed alongside Soundgarden for their induction — and completed a two-year run as direct support on AC/DC’s PWR UP Tour.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Pretty Reckless’ “For I Am Death” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated Nov. 8), making it the band’s eighth No. 1 and fourth consecutive — a streak that dates to 2020, when “Death by Rock and Roll” led the chart for three weeks, followed by reigns for “And So It Went” and “Only Love Can Save Me Now” in 2021. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With eight No. 1s, The Pretty Reckless holds the record for the most chart-toppers by a woman-fronted act in the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart’s 44-year history, surpassing Halestorm. <em>DEAR GOD</em> arrives June 26.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/spacey-jane/">Spacey Jane</a> have released a new single, “<a href="https://ffm.to/spaceyjane-doyoureallyloveher" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Do You Really Love Her,</a>” alongside a music video, and announced an extensive run of U.S. summer tour dates — the Australian indie rock band’s first new music since their critically acclaimed third album <em>If That Makes Sense</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Frontman Caleb Harper explained the song was left off the album but always destined to surface. “For some reason the song didn’t feel like the right fit for the album but we always wanted it to see the light of day,” he said in a statement. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Written on Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood Hills with collaborators Sarah Aarons and Joel Little, and produced by John Hill, “Do You Really Love Her” draws on classic Australian pub rock. “Bands like INXS, The Church and Icehouse are both nostalgic and inspirational to us,” Harper said.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Harper described the single — and what follows — as a deliberate creative experiment. “This release and the others to follow are almost experiments,” he said. “Songs we love that didn’t end up on an album. Something we want to share while we take stock and reset.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The If That Makes Sense Tour kicks off June 2 in New Haven, Conn., with festival appearances at Governors Ball Music Festival (June 6), Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival (June 14) and Osheaga Festival (Aug. 2). The band will also support Rainbow Kitten Surprise on a run of amphitheater dates through July, including stops at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles (July 21) and Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Denver (July 25). Artist presale begins March 17 at 10 a.m. local time; general on-sale follows March 20.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Additionally, the band will release <em>Live at The Hordern Pavilion (Sydney, NSW) 2025</em> on Record Store Day this April — a live album drawn from three sold-out nights at the legendary Sydney venue.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>If That Makes Sense</em> debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and earned nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Video at the 2025 ARIA Awards, while Spacey Jane was named the most played artist on Triple J for the year. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The band’s 2020 debut <em>Sunlight</em> produced the signature single “Booster Seat,” which won the ARIA Award for Song of the Year and has since been certified 7x platinum.</p>

	This is a far more diverse picture than when <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dick-clark/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dick-clark/">Dick Clark</a> created the show in 1974. For the first five years, through 1978, there were just 15 categories – five categories each for pop/rock, soul/R&B and country.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The 52nd American Music Awards returns to CBS and Paramount+ on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which the show’s organizers point out is the largest venue in the show’s history. The show was held in the tiny Earl Carroll Theatre in Hollywood in its first year, before graduating to such larger venues as the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, the Shrine Auditorium and the Peacock Theatre. Last year it was held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Nominations for the 52nd American Music Awards will be announced on Tuesday, April 14. Fan voting opens that same day and will remain open until May 8.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Additional details, including performers, presenters, special honorees, and the ticket on-sale date, will be announced in the coming weeks.</p>

	Domain Artist Management is a joint venture with Domain Capital Group, LLC.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This is the latest move into the entertainment sector by Domain Capitol Group, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/miranda-lambert-song-catalog-acquisition-sony-domain/">which acquired</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/miranda-lambert/">Miranda Lambert</a>’s catalog earlier this year through its partnership with Sony Music Publishing; that partnership previously included an investment in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ashley-gorley/">Ashley Gorley</a>’s catalog. Last year, Sony Music Publishing, Domain Capitol Group and Sea Gayle Music also formed a global publishing administration partnership.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The new partnership gives Domain Artist Management access to capital for further growth and infrastructure. Domain Capital Group has approximately $8.3 billion in assets, according to the company, spanning real estate, media, entertainment, technology and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The formation of Domain Artist Management brings together experienced and successful artist representation and long-term capital into one platform,” <strong>Pete Chiappetta</strong>, managing director of media & entertainment at Domain Capital Group, said in a statement. “By aligning our resources and strategic capabilities with the decades of experience that Bill, Kendal, and Chris bring to the table, we are building a management company designed to serve artists thoughtfully and capitalize on today’s entertainment landscape for our investors.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We are thrilled to collaborate with Pete and the entire Domain team to add more talented artists to our roster,” Marcy added. “As Nashville and the country genre continue to expand, we are eager to support and develop our artists’ successes through our expertise in management, touring, music, and film.” </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Several rising stars took British music to the world in 2025 — leading to a growing feeling that the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/t/billboard-uk">U.K. music industry</a> was back to its best. Now, new numbers released by the BPI (British Phonographic Institution) are backing up that sentiment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	BPI reports that in 2025, total revenue in the U.K.’s recorded music market surpassed £1.5 billion ($2.01 billion) in revenue for the first time, with the final number (£1.507 billion) representing a 5% boost on the previous year. The £1 billion barrier was first broken in 2024.</p>

	In its report, the industry body, which represents the U.K. market’s recording companies and label business, highlights a new generation of stars, including Grammy winners <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-dean">Olivia Dean</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lola-young">Lola Young</a>, alongside <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sienna-spiro">Sienna Spiro</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/esdeekid">EsDeeKid</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/skye-newman">Skye Newman</a> and more, for contributing to the rise.

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The streaming market accounted for £1.07 billion ($1.44 billion) of that number, with revenue up 4.6%. While that growth number is lower than previous years (5.7% in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/u-k-recorded-music-revenue-record-high-2024-bpi-report/">2024</a> and 8.4% in 2023), BPI notes that streaming accounted for more than two-thirds of all recorded music revenue at 67.7%.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Alex-Warren">Alex Warren</a>’s “Ordinary” was the biggest song on streaming in 2025, amassing 261.8 million streams and notching a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/alex-warren-youll-be-allright-kid-number-1-album-uk-1236030049/">13-week run </a>at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart.

	Elsewhere, physical music revenue hit £278 million, a 12.8% rise on the previous year and the third consecutive year of growth; BPI notes that number surpassed £250 million ($335 million) for the first time since 2017. The vinyl market rose 19.9% year-on-year with a total of £174.4 million, its highest level in more than three decades.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/taylor-swift/">Taylor Swift</a>’s <em>The Life of a Showgirl</em> played a huge role in the vinyl market, shifting 147,000 units in 2025, the most by any new album in a calendar year this century. The remaining top vinyl sellers include albums by Dean (<em>The Art of Loving</em>), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sabrina-carpenter/">Sabrina Carpenter</a> (<em>Man’s Best Friend</em>), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Sam-Fender">Sam Fender</a> (<em>People Watching</em>), and two Oasis classics (1994’s <em>Definitely Maybe</em> and 1995’s <em>(What’s The Story) Morning Glory</em>).</p>

	<strong>Dr Jo Twist OBE</strong>, BPI chief executive, said in a statement, “Beyond the positive headlines, what is especially satisfying about this 11th consecutive annual rise in UK recorded music revenue is that it has been in part driven by a resurgence in British music with a new generation of artists breaking through. Its impact is being felt not just at home but globally, highlighted by the recent Grammy wins of Olivia Dean, Lola Young and others, as well as on streaming services and music charts around the world. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This success is a testament to our brilliant record labels and shows what can be achieved in the right business environment. Underpinning this success is the UK’s gold-standard copyright framework, and it remains essential that this is safeguarded by our policymakers as a burgeoning market to license music to AI firms takes root.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>YolanDa Brown OBE D</strong>L, the BPI’s Chair, added, “As anyone who saw this year’s BRIT Awards in Manchester can testify, British music is in incredibly strong health and much of it is being led by outstanding new talent drawn from across the UK. Given the intense global competition, I know how increasingly hard it is for our music to compete when fans have endless choices, so this success shows what can be achieved when artists of all backgrounds are paired with world-class record labels backing their careers. Provided our labels can continue this support unhindered, there is a very bright future for British music.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/katy-perry/">Katy Perry</a> has been dealt a loss in her long-running trademark dispute with an Australian fashion designer named Katie Perry — but the case is not yet over.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a Wednesday (March 11) ruling, Australia’s highest court sided with designer Katie Perry, who also goes by her married name Katie Taylor, to restore her brand’s trademark. A lower court had previously granted pop star Katy Perry’s request to cancel the trademark in response to an infringement lawsuit initiated by Katie.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The case will now head back down for further litigation on Katie’s claims, brought in 2019, that accuse Katy of infringing her fashion brand’s trademarks by selling official merch in Australia. Katy says the claims should be dismissed because Katie improperly waited a decade to sue.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The dispute dates all the way back to 2008, when Katie launched her brand and registered an Australian trademark for the name “Katie Perry.” A year later, following the success of Katy’s breakout album <em>One of the Boys </em>and its Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “I Kissed a Girl,” the singer’s reps demanded that Katie withdraw her trademark.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Katy’s lawyers offered Katie a co-existence agreement in 2009 that would have allowed them both to use the name with certain conditions, but Katie declined. Ten years later, Katie sued Katy for trademark infringement, and the designer was initially victorious in a 2023 court ruling.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In 2024, a mid-level Australian appeals court reversed that decision and instead granted Katy’s counter-request to cancel Katie’s trademark. Fast forward to Wednesday, when five judges on the High Court of Australia voted 3-2 to again reverse course and give Katie back her trademark.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The crux of the majority opinion was that in September 2008, when Katie registered the mark, Katy was not selling clothing in Australia. In fact, wrote Justice Jayne Jagot, Katy did not even launch her online merch store until a month later, in October 2008.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It may be accepted that, before the priority date, Katy Perry was a famous pop star in Australia and internationally,” wrote the judge. “However…the overwhelming likelihood is that exceedingly few, if any, people could have seen any ‘Katy Perry’ branded clothing in Australia before the priority date. In these circumstances, I am unable to conclude that there was anything unreasonable or untenable in the primary judge’s conclusion that the Katy Perry parties simply had not adduced sufficient evidence to discharge their onus of proving the existence of a real, tangible danger of confusion.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a statement posted to the Katie Perry website on Wednesday, Katie said, “This has been an incredibly long and difficult journey. But today confirms what I always believed — that trademarks should protect businesses of all sizes.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This case has never just been about a name,” Katie added. “It has been about protecting small business in Australia, for standing up for what is right and showing that we all matter.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A rep for Katy, meanwhile, said in a statement that the pop star “has never sought to close down Ms. Taylor’s business or stop her selling clothes under the ‘Katie Perry’ label.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Today, by a 3:2 decision, the High Court determined that Ms. Taylor’s trademark can remain on the register,” said Katy’s rep. “The court sent the case back to the Full Federal Court to determine issues raised by Katy Perry, including Ms. Taylor’s 10-year delay in bringing her case against Katy Perry.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to the five songs from the original <em>DINASTÍA</em> album already charting, four more re-enter, while the four new songs added to the deluxe edition debut on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs">Hot Latin Songs</a>. Leading the pack among the newcomers is “chiclona,” with corridos singer LENCHO, at No. 13. The song, whose music video was released last Wednesday (March 4), marks the highest entry, largely driven by 3.1 million official streams registered on the Feb. 27-March 5 tracking week, as reported by Luminate.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Thanks to Peso Pluma and Tito Double P’s reimagined version of LENCHO’s song released last November, Luis Lorenzo Ochoa, better known as LENCHO, breaks through six <em>Billboard</em> charts: No. 130 on the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-global-200" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-global-200">Billboard Global 200</a>, No. 117 on the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-global-excl-us" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-global-excl-us">Global Excl. U.S.</a>, No. 13 on the multi-metric <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs">Hot Latin Songs</a> chart and No. 4 on the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/">Hot Regional Mexican Songs</a> (both charts blend streaming activity, digital sales and radio airplay into its formula). Plus, the singer from Baja California Sur, logs a No. 13 start on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-streaming-songs" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-streaming-songs">Latin Streaming Songs</a> and a No. 34 entry on the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/emerging-artists" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/emerging-artists">Emerging Artists</a> tally. (The latter comprises the week’s most popular developing artists, using the same formula as the all-encompassing Billboard Artist 100, which measures artist activity across multiple Billboard charts, including the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But LENCHO is not the only chart breaker this week. <em>Corridos tumbados</em> performer and label mate El Randal, who previously collaborated with Peso Pluma and Tito Double P as a writer for the No. 2-peaking “Dopamina,” sees his first entry as an artist with “ganga” at No. 15 on Hot Latin Songs, No. 176 on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-global-excl-us" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-global-excl-us">Global Excl. U.S.</a> and No. 6 on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/">Hot Regional Mexican Songs</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to the new recruits and reentries, Peso Pluma and Tito Double P place 15 songs on the Hot <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/">Regional Mexican Songs</a> chart, matching its previous record of 15 concurrent songs with a collaborative project in a single week achieved in January.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Here’s the collection of songs from the <em>DINASTÍA (Deluxe)</em> album on the current Hot Latin Songs chart:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No. 11, “daño”<br>No. 12, “dopamina”<br>No. 13, “chiclona,” with LENCHO (debut)<br>No. 14, “7-3”<br>No. 15, “ganga,” with El Randal (debut)<br>No. 19, “London,” with Armenta (debut)<br>No. 22, “ni pedo”<br>No. 28, “tú con él”<br>No. 35, “marianita,” with Rey Quinto (debut)<br>No. 38, “putielegante” (re-entry)<br>No. 41, “bckpckbyz” (re-entry)<br>No. 42, “intro” (re-entry)<br>No. 45, “billete” (re-entry)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The new Hot Latin Songs chart activity follows the kickoff of the Dinastía by Peso Pluma & Friends tour, which debuted with a sold-out show on March 1 in Seattle.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The hitmaker released his fourth solo studio album, <em>The Romantic</em>, a whopping 10 years after his previous solo project, <em>24K Magic</em>. As is expected of Mars, he immediately topped the charts with the release, hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100, Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200.</p>

	While <em>The Romantic</em>‘s lead single “I Just Might,” sits atop the Hot 100, the album’s second single, “Risk It All,” debuted at No. 4 on the chart and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200. Mars is only the second artist (after Kendrick Lamar) to top the Hot 100 and Global 200 simultaneously with two different tracks.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/selena/">Selena Quintanilla</a>‘s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, is suing Chinese e-commerce company Shein over unlicensed merchandise bearing Selena’s name and likeness.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the lawsuit, filed on Wednesday (March 11) in U.S. District Court in California, Quintanilla accuses Shein — a Nanjing, China-based global e-commerce giant known for selling low-cost clothing and accessories — of manufacturing and selling “countless t-shirts and other merchandise” with Selena’s name, likeness and identity without permission or compensation.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to the lawsuit, Quintanilla’s company, Q Productions, sent Shein a cease and desist in August, outlining its rights as the owner of the Selena trademarks. Despite that, Quintanilla alleges the company did not halt the sale of the Selena merchandise.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“To date, Defendants continue to willfully and unlawfully exploit Plaintiffs’ Selena Marks and rights of publicity in commerce against the express demands by Plaintiffs to cease and desist such use,” wrote Quintanilla’s attorneys, <strong>Thomas K. Richards</strong> and <strong>Justin R. Trauben</strong>, in the suit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Quintanilla is suing Shein on multiple counts, including trademark infringement, unfair competition and publicity rights violations. She’s seeking damages and a court injunction that will force Shein to stop the production and sale of merchandise bearing the Selena trademarks.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shein did not immediately respond to <em>Billboard</em>‘s request for comment on the lawsuit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Wednesday’s lawsuit is just the latest instance of an e-commerce giant being sued for selling knockoff merchandise in recent months. Last September, Grammy award-winning duo <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/twenty-one-pilots/">Twenty One Pilots</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/twenty-one-pilots-sues-temu-lawsuit-knockoff-merchandise/">sued Temu</a>, another Chinese e-commerce giant and Shein competitor, over the company’s alleged sale of “blatant copies” of the band’s official merch. The month prior, the estate of late rapper <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/mf-doom-estate-sues-temu-lawsuit-sells-counterfeit-merch/">MF Doom</a> sued Temu for the same reason, calling the company “unethical.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In December, the MF Doom lawsuit was thrown out by a judge who argued it was legally deficient because Temu wasn’t the manufacturer of the merch but rather a pass-through online marketplace for independent sellers. However, a federal judge allowed the estate to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/mf-doom-revives-temu-counterfeit-merch-lawsuit/">reinstate the lawsuit </a>last month after it was revised. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The rumors were true. There will be a <em>Bridesmaids</em> cast reunion on the 2026 Oscars, to mark the 15th anniversary of the beloved hit comedy.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Here are selected highlights from this year’s press conference.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Raj Kapoor on rethinking how the show handles music performances:</strong> “We’re looking towards 100 years coming up, but this year we wanted to refresh, reimagine, just have a new vision for the show and part of that is really how we celebrate some of our music performances. This year, we are doing them in a very different way. We are celebrating the films. And so this year we chose <em>Sinners</em> because it’s the most nominated film ever and has a beautiful music story. It’s not just about the song, it’s really how Ryan [Coogler] integrated music and wove that into the entire story. It’s a really beautiful package. We are celebrating that film with the film’s costumer, Ruth [E. Carter], [who] has come on board to help us. We have Aakomon [“AJ”] Jones, who is the film’s choreographer, working with us. We have that music team that as well. [It] has like, not only given us the gift of that score, but that song. And then we have all these amazing cast members, plus new people that weren’t even in the film coming in to help celebrate that. So we’ve kind of like blown it up. And, you know, we have the lovely Misty Copeland making an appearance. We have all these talented dancers, and it’s going to be a real celebration, not only of the song, but of the film.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“And then one of the other performances that Mandy’s working on<em>, KPop Demon Hunters</em>, celebrated again for being an animated feature, but also like a global phenomenon, and we have this lovely story celebrating Korean culture with authentic Korean drummers and singers and even like choreography. So again, we’ve kind of like expanded our reach, and we’re telling like these global stories, celebrating international films that have had global impact and doing things in a really different way. … And so for us this year, it was this page turning, and then we are looking towards 100 years.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Michael Bearden on Quincy Jones, who in 1971 became the Oscars’ first Black music director:</strong> “As a young boy growing up on the south side of Chicago and seeing Quincy Jones do it when I was a boy, and to be on the stage myself doing it, being inspired by him, it’s really a great thing. The thing I also love about working with Raj and Katy is they love music, and they have really good ears as to what they like, and want to hear, but they really revere it and want to shape it and the orchestra really feature us, and to still have live music on a show now is incredible to have.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Conan O’Brien on the biggest misconception people would have about hosting the Oscars:</strong> “I think maybe it would be that it’s not just about being funny in moment to moment. It’s also about acknowledging what this is about in a larger sense. And as the host, I’m sort of the human avatar, or whatever. I’m the entryway for the person watching at home and the person who the audience member can relate to, or the person watching at home can relate to. So that’s a part of the job. And sometimes there are moments where it’s my job to move us along to the next moment. It’s not necessarily about being 100% funny all the time. And so I think that is part of the job that I kind of enjoy, and that, I think, is in sync with Raj and Katy, that they want this to be, you know, a warm, human, real, organic experience. You know, we talk a lot on this stage about prep and design and getting everything just a certain way, and practice, practice, practice. But when this show happens, it is an organic thing. It’s unfolding in real time, and there’s life in it, and so we will respond to things that happen in the moment, and the show will be a living organism for better or worse.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Katy Mullan on the show’s core message:</strong> “I mean, I think that if there’s a message throughout the show, it’s about the fact that we all share these same universal connections, truths and stories, and that what’s amazing about the nominees this year is there is a foreign film, and international film in every single category. So that just shows you actually, that even though the world can feel really divided, that through cinema, all of these stories actually connect us. So I think that that and we work a lot with the incredible presenters that come out on stage to say something personal and from the heart meaningful to them so that we can have moments of, you know, humor, but also moments of heart. So I think there’s a lot hopefully that will just come across that makes people feel like they’re sitting in front of their TV, but they’re also sitting with, you know, millions of people around the world and feeling connected by these films.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Raj Kapoor on the focus on <em>Sinners</em>:</strong> “It has really been so much of a collaboration between the film team and the Oscar team. So we were lucky enough to even do something with Ryan. We’ve been working with their music team, their choreography team, their costume team, and so it is bigger than we’ve ever gone before, and it’s been such a welcoming environment that the show is not separate from the film. And so we hope what we put on stage feels very well represented and is captured in as beautiful of a way as the way that they were able to tell their story.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Conan O’Brien on whether the show will venture into political topics:</strong> “Well, I can’t speak for the whole show. I can speak for myself when I say that my philosophy is that I’m, first of all, it’s, I’ve never thought of it as my show. I’m the host, which is a very specific task, and I’m brought in to do a host job, which is, I think, to put people at ease, make people laugh. And yeah, last year, we acknowledged some of the things that were going on in Los Angeles that had really impacted our whole creative community with the fire. And I think that that what’s happening in the world will be reflected throughout the show. My job is to always try and hit this very, very thin line, I think, between entertaining people and also acknowledging some of the realities. So, it is a dance. It’s a dance that goes on up until the show begins. I’ve been working for a really long time on material for the show with my writers, and it’s still evolving, because we live in a very fast-paced world. So jokes we thought of two months ago are irrelevant now, and there might be things that happen this week that will find their way into the show. So that is something where, like any chef, you make adjustments as you go, and that’s what we’re going to be doing. And so all I can say is, I’ll use my best judgment, and I also have a great sounding board here with Raj and Katy, and I think between us, we will find the right tone and the right places.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Conan O’Brien on preparation:</strong> “I’m a big believer in prepare, prepare, prepare, and then it’s time to throw all that away. As soon as I get the word that it’s time to hit the stage, it’s time to be present for those people in that audience, for that show that’s happening. And so I try to let all of that fall away when I get out there, because we work hard. We do the preparation, and then you have to let this thing breathe. You know, it’s a bottle of wine. You got to open it up. You got to let it breathe….  I think for me, it’s to remember that people make a big deal out of ‘It’s the Oscars’ and ‘What are you going to do?’ And this is so important, but you have to remember at the end of the day, it’s not that different from making a room full of people laugh when I’m a guest at a wedding or working on the Groundlings stage when I was starting out, or any of the million other things I’ve done. About being myself in that moment and being true to myself. And I believe that that is my job and that and if something happens, respond to it as I would respond to anything as myself. That’s the most important thing. And so all the preparation is necessary, and then you just got to let it go and go out there and let my natural, low self-esteem take over.”</p>

	The birth of Ozzy Matilda comes nearly eight months after the loss of her grandpa <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ozzy-osbourne/">Ozzy Osbourne</a>, who died of a heart attack in July 2025 at age 76. His death came weeks after the Back to the Beginning concert in Birmingham, England, which was billed as the rocker’s final concert with his band Black Sabbath. The charity concert raised more than $11 million for Acorns Children’s Hospice, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Cure Parkinson’s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ozzy Matilda Osbourne is Jack’s fifth child, joining Pearl, Andy and Minnie from his first marriage to Lisa Stelly and Maple with Aree.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Also on her birthday, the New York native shared photos of herself posing with an “It’s My Birthday” badge, earning comments from friends such as Hailey Bieber — who wrote, “Birthday angel” — and, of course, Herbert. “My love,” he wrote in the replies.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The singer and athlete have been dating since sometime before August, when they were first spotted together. Since then, they’ve sat courtside at an L.A. Lakers game and attended the World Series together, and Beer has supported Herbert at many of his games. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beer is fresh off of the January release of <em>Locket</em>, her third studio album. The project debuted at No. 10 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a>, marking what is easily her highest peak on the chart to date; her past two albums, 2021’s <em>Life Support </em>and 2023’s Grammy-nominated <em>Silence Between Songs </em>reached Nos. 65 and 86, respectively.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Locket </em>also helped Beer make her debut on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard Hot 100</a>, with single “Bittersweet” entering the chart in mid-January and peaking at No. 68 a couple of weeks later.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For a natural-born superstar who has been in motion since he auditioned for <em>The X Factor</em> at the age of 16, <a href="https://billboard.com/artist/harry-styles">Harry Styles</a>’ fourth LP marks a singular, intimate homecoming – a journey of coming back to himself.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally </em>entered the world on Friday (March 6) ahead of Styles’ huge One Night Only show at Manchester’s Co-op Live, the 23,500-capacity arena in which he holds a share and is situated 30 miles north of his Holmes Chapel hometown. The performance was recorded for a Netflix special, which will be released this Sunday (March 8). </p>

	Upon arriving at Manchester Piccadilly train station, fans were greeted by a <em>Kiss All the Time</em> pop-up, where they could leave handwritten notes for their beloved icon. Adverts for the show were visible across the surrounding streets, making it clear the city was gearing up for the occasion. It was reported by<em> <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly1j4x2djro?xtor=AL-71-%5Bpartner%5D-%5BBBC+England%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&at_link_origin=BBC_Manchester&at_bbc_team=editorial&at_link_type=web_link&at_link_id=798C7242-196B-11F1-8EB8-C51B30E54CFB&at_medium=social&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_format=link&at_campaign_type=owned&at_ptr_name=twitter">BBC Manchester</a></em>, meanwhile, that Styles gifted 100 free gig tickets to his alma mater, Holmes Chapel Comprehensive. “I am so pleased that Harry has kept a place in his heart for his roots and for the village where he grew and thrived,” headteacher Nigel Bielby told the news outlet.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Kiss All the Time</em> follows a three-year hiatus for the 32-year-old, who wrapped up his blockbuster <em>Love On Tour</em> trek in summer 2023. Flirting with late night misadventures, dancing and pleasure, the record is largely sleek and intoxicating, while beneath the surface there are moving meditations on self-discovery and the highs and lows of indulgence. It roars with the thrill of letting go for the first time, a dizzying embrace of a life fully lived.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With all of that in mind, One Night Only Manchester felt like a triumph of reflection and release. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/harry-styles-setlist-one-night-only-manchester/">The setlist</a> followed the formula of his previous One Night Only shows, which have heralded each new album throughout his solo career.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Styles is now gearing up to take his <em>Together Together Tour </em>across throughout summer 2026, with the residency-style run set to see him play multiple nights in major cities and some of the biggest stadiums of his career. Check out the best moments from his spectacular show at Co-op Live.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While ACL injuries normally keep athletes sidelined for over a year, Tatum impressively is already game-ready. Many fans are speculating whether his “rushed” return is risky, especially with the Celtics still playing top-level basketball this season. Currently, Boston is ranked No. 2 in the Eastern Conference and have one of the best records in the league, so do they need Tatum coming back and risking even more injury? Plus, Jaylen Brown is performing at an MVP level this season.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tonight, the Celtics will play host to the Dallas Mavericks at TD Garden with tip-off at 7 p.m. With the game on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/how-to-watch-espn-without-cable-online-livestream-free-1235657079/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/how-to-watch-espn-without-cable-online-livestream-free-1235657079/">ESPN</a>, we’ve compiled all the best ways to stream Jayson Tatum’s return live online and for free.

	The electropop tribute — which interpolates <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tears-for-fears">Tears for Fears’</a> “Memories Fade” — pays homage to Ye’s late mother, Donda West, who died in November 2007 from coronary artery disease and post-operative complications related to cosmetic surgery.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	North’s hard-hitting beat features punchier drums than Yeezy’s original, but uses the same melody, aided by Ye’s haunting vocals faintly in the background. </p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Back in January, North <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/north-west-kanye-west-rap-collaboration-piercing-on-my-hand-1236156745/">previewed a collaboration</a> with her father on social media. “All my friends are hits, you know I’m not lazy/ You’re so angry that I’m so mainstream,” she raps. “I’m not sure I’m crazy/ I want more piercings and tats/ I love blue hair, put it in some plaits/ Put the music to the max/ I want like a hundred thousand racks.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Days later, a blue-haired <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kanye-west-mexico-city-concert-daughter-north-west-1236168725/">North joined Kanye in Mexico City </a>on the La México stage at his first Mexico show in 20 years. She accompanied her father for his performance of the emotional “Only One.” North remained on stage and also performed her “Piercing on my Hand” track.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	North stayed busy in 2025, where she notched a collaboration with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/fka-twigs">FKA Twigs,</a> which saw her rap in Japanese on <em>Eusexua</em> standout “Childlike Things.” The 12-year-old also contributed to the Ye-produced “Lonely Roads,” which landed on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/king-combs">King Combs’</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kanye-west-diddy-son-king-combs-never-stop-ep-north-west-1236009152/"><em>Never Stop</em> EP</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/north-west-signs-gamma-label-ye-bully-album-1235519201/"><em>Rolling Stone</em></a>, North signed a record deal with Larry Jackson’s Gamma in February and has more new music on the way. It’s a family affair as Ye also signed to the independent music company earlier in 2026. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The two concerts that <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pink/">P!nk</a> had scheduled for this spring at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City have been canceled, promoter Ocesa announced Friday (March 6).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A show by singer Carolina Ross and another by rapper Lucho SSJ were also canceled, but Ocesa tells <em>Billboard Español</em> the cancellations are unrelated.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/ocesa_total/status/2029980538308526138?s=20">statement</a> shared on social media, the promoter said the cancellation of the pop star’s performances originally scheduled for April 26 and 27 is due to “complications arising from an unforeseen circumstance that affects the logistics of the event,” a situation that is “beyond the control of the artist, the promoter, and the venue.” </p>

	The shows would have marked the return of the “So What” and “Get the Party Started” singer to Mexican stages after more than two decades. “We understand how much fans were looking forward to these concerts, and we deeply appreciate their understanding,” Ocesa added.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The company informed that those who purchased tickets online through Ticketmaster Mexico would receive a full refund automatically, including service fees, directly to the card used for purchase, in accordance with the timelines established by each banking institution. Those who bought tickets at box offices can request their refund at the original point of sale in the coming days.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Regarding the cancellation of the show by regional Mexican singer Carolina Ross, which was scheduled for May 2 at Mexico City’s Teatro Metropólitan, the promoter <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/ocesa_total/status/2029959059927879744?s=20">explained</a> that it was due to “unforeseen logistical circumstances completely beyond the control of Ocesa, the artist, and the venue.” Tickets purchased online will also be refunded directly to the bank card used for the purchase. If the tickets were purchased at the venue’s box office, refunds can be requested starting March 12.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The third canceled show was that of rapper Lucho SSJ, at Foro Puebla, also in the capital city. As with the cases of P!nk and Ross, the promoter <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/ocesa_total/status/2029994231213772880?s=20">said</a> that this was due to “logistical reasons completely beyond the control of the artist, the venue, and Ocesa.” Refunds would also be processed automatically to the bank card used for purchase, and directly at the venue’s box office starting this Friday. <br><br></p>

	There is a choir shaking the listener awake. Harry’s talking about unintimate sex, which also kind of shakes the listener awake to some degree. </p>

	Billboard’s staff is reacting to our ranking for Harry Styles’ new album ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.’</p>

	Meghan Mahar:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I love Harry’s writing when it feels more journalistic, like this, when there are specific references to places, and I think we can maybe guess who it’s about. But I just think there are so many better songs that shine brighter on this album.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jason Lipshutz:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I actually really like “Taste Back.” There’s the synths are huge. The hook is huge. It’s very warm. It’s very dripping in nostalgia. I think that some of the lines are really effective placed in kind of the center of the album, right before that kind of mid album pivot. It’s pretty effective.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kyle Denis:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I have this probably in the 10 to eight range. I don’t think it’s the dead worst song on the album, but I do think that I really enjoy the way that the restlessness of the beat kind of gives you this idea of reconciliation. But are you able to actually reconcile fully with this person or not, or do you just want them for the moment? I like how his voice is kind of subdued on this track. Gives you a little bit of that apprehension that the lyrics are hinting at. I don’t know. I don’t think this is definitely not a top half for the album. At No. 11, we have “Are You Listening Yet?” This is probably where I differentiate from the published ranking most. This is a top five song for me. I love it. It gives Harry meets the dare. I think it’s super, super dope.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Australian pop duo The Veronicas have delivered a new performance for triple j’s long-running <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/inhaler-kavinsky-nightcall-like-a-version-1236003556/" data-type="post" data-id="1236003556">Like A Version</a></em> series, taking on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/sombr-number-ones-interview-1236133577/" data-type="post" data-id="1236133577">sombr’s track “12 to 12.”</a></p>

	Introducing their choice of song in the studio, the sisters described sombr as a compelling songwriter and said the track immediately stood out to them as a standout piece of pop writing.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	Looks like we’ll have to wait until Saturday to find out just how Gorillaz are feeling about making their <em>Saturday Night Live</em> debut this weekend.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In promos for the new episode starring Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett from Gorillaz alongside host Ryan Gosling, <em>SNL</em> castmember Ashley Padilla marvels at the fact that the cartoon rock band has never graced the stage before.</p>

	“Gorillaz! You’re one of the best bands ever, and you’ve never been the musical guest?” Padilla asks in disbelief. “How are you feeling?”</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In response, Albarn and Hewlett wordlessly paint big smiles on their faces, crouch down and start wiggling their fingers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“What are they doing?” Padilla asks Gosling. “It’s a secret,” he whispers back, to which Padilla pouts, “No one tells me anything!”</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Elsewhere in the video, Padilla admits to watching scenes from <em>The Notebook</em> on her phone during Gosling’s new movie <em>Project Hail Mary</em> and also confesses to placing illegal bets on what she’ll say and do in the promos.</p>

	For their debut as musical guest, Gorillaz are promoting their just-released ninth album <em>The Mountain</em>. They’ve also just announced a tour around the project — their first North American trek in four years — which kicks off Sept. 17 in Orlando, Florida, and wraps on Halloween in Seattle.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Gosling returns to SNL for his fourth time hosting — not his fifth time, like he mistakenly believes in a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ryan-gosling-prematurely-inducts-himself-snl-5-timers-club-1236192221/">previously released promo</a> for the new episode — to promote his new film <em>Project Hail Mary</em>, a sci-fi film based on the 2021 novel of the same name.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/guns-n-roses/">Guns N’ Roses</a>’ one-off concert in Australia has expanded into a full-blown stadium tour.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The rock heavyweights will bring their <em>World Tour 2026</em> to Australia and New Zealand later this year for a run of open-air shows, kicking off with the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/guns-n-roses-australia-adelaide-one-off-open-air-show-1236177909/">previously-announced headline date</a> Nov. 29 at the bp Adelaide Grand Final.</p>

	Slash also promised that the outfit would play new and old songs on their upcoming 2026 world tour, which is slated to start March 28 at Monterrey, Mexico’s Tecate Pa’l Norte festival, and includes dates in Europe and North America (summer) and Latin America (spring).</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Preceded by <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard Hot 100</a>-topping lead single “Aperture,” the 12-track project catches fans up to speed on Styles’ mindset and growth over the past four years, with the star last dropping a full-length in 2022. That year’s <em>Harry’s House </em>debuted atop the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a>, marking his third straight No. 1 on the chart since debuting as a soloist in 2017.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/harry-styles-kiss-all-the-time-disco-occasionally-review-1236193079/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard</a></em>‘s co-editor-in-chief Jason Lipshutz writes of the new LP, “Styles spends the first album he’s released in his 30s yearning for connection,” singing “about the one-night stands that spilled over, the ones that got away (and then circled back into his orbit) and the one kind of undying love that’s thus far eluded him.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Included on the album are tracks “American Girls,” “Ready, Steady, Go!,” “Are You Listening Yet?,” “Taste Back,” “The Waiting Game,” “Season 2 Weight Loss,” “Coming p Roses,” “Pop,” “Dance No More,” “Paint by Numbers” and “Carla’s Song.” Collectively, they take the Grammy winner in a new sonic direction grounded by dance music, which he’ll take in full to the stage for the very first time on Friday night, performing a release show at the Co-op Live. That performance will be captured by Netflix cameras to stream as <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/harry-styles-one-night-in-manchester-trailer-1236193066/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a concert special</a><a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/harry-styles-one-night-in-manchester-trailer-1236193066/"> </a>two days later, allowing all fans to take part in the concert.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Following the release of <em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally</em>, Styles is planning to embark on a sprawling world tour made up of seven mini-residencies in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York City, Melbourne and Sydney. The trek will include 30 nights at Madison Square Garden and a record 12 in Wembley Stadium.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s been a while. Eighteen years, give or take a few months. With the release today of <em>Atlanta</em> (via 10k/Atlantic Records), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/gnarls-barkley/">Gnarls Barkley</a> makes a long-overdue, but brief, return.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The multi-Grammy Award-winning duo of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ceelo-green/">CeeLo Green</a>, the soulful vocalist, and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/danger-mouse/">Danger Mouse</a>, the top-shelf producer, unleashes <em>Atlanta</em>, their third studio album and the followup to 2008’s <em>The Odd Couple</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Produced by Danger Mouse and co-written with CeeLo, <em>Atlanta</em> marks a new beginning, and an end. It’s said to be Gnarls Barkley’s final album.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Atlanta</em> features the previously-released single “Pictures,” one of 13 album tracks. It’s a collection that’s near-impossible to pigeonhole, a feast of gospel mashed with smart-as-a-whip R&B production, with hints of pop, hip-hop and timeless vibes.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Gnarls Barkley had a big time debut with 2006’s <em>St. Elsewhere</em>, which housed the era-defining smash “Crazy,” a tune that went to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and logged nine weeks atop the official U.K. Singles Chart. <em>St. Elsewhere</em> peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Next up, <em>The Odd Couple</em> which peaked at No. 12 on the all-genres U.S. albums tally, and gave the duo another appearance on the national singles chart with “Going On,” which went to No. 88.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to a release announcing the return, the Atlanta natives had always intended to record a third album, but “life and other creative pursuits intervened,” before they reconnected last year and set aside some time to record this final chapter in their story.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The long break between albums wasn’t wasted. Green released four solo albums, including the 2010 title <em>The Lady Killer </em>which featured the hit single “Forget You” (also known by the uncensored version “F*** You), and two LPs with his hip-hop crew Goodie Mob and appeared as a judge on <em>The Voice. </em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At the same time, Danger Mouse (born Brian Joseph Burton) worked on albums by Beck, Sparklehorse, U2, the Black Keys, Norah Jones, Portugal. The Man, A$AP Rocky and many others while releasing three albums as Broken Bells with the Shins’ James Mercer.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Life is a movie. Thoughts are theater, emotions are entertainment, and songs are cinema,” remarks Green on the latest, and last, Gnarls Barkley album. “Gnarls is the narrator… a noun even a person, place, and thing with main character energy to match. Welcome to <em>Atlanta</em>. Smile for the pictures.”</p>

	Stream <em>Atlanta</em> below.</p>

	Hitting streaming services on Friday (March 6), the dance track arrives on the same day J Lo kicks off her latest Las Vegas residency. It marks Lopez’s first release since the <em>Kiss of the Spider Woman </em>soundtrack dropped last year, which followed 2024’s <em>This Is Me … Now</em>. The latter debuted at No. 38 on the<a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Billboard 200</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The singer has spent the past week or so getting listeners hyped up for “Save Me Tonight,” posting videos of herself dancing to the track with her “crew” on <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVe4xTOD1JM/">Instagram</a>. She’s also been preparing fans for her JLo Show residency at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace, which lasts until March 28.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Guetta has been active throughout the beginning of 2026. In addition to his team-up with Lopez, the DJ has shared collaborations with Hypaton, Jaden Bojsen, Teddy Swims, Trippie Red and more artists in recent months. In November, he produced a remix of RAYE’s <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> hit “Where Is My Husband!” Before that, he <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kpop-demon-hunters-david-guetta-golden-remix-1236030549/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">produced a remix</a> of HUNTR/X’s Oscar-nominated <em>KPop Demon Hunters </em>hit “Golden.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Despite his busy slate of releases, Guetta recently revealed that he’s also had some big changes in his personal life. Just a week prior to the release of “Save Me Tonight,” the EDM titan revealed that he’d welcomed his fourth child, writing on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVOzIPfitj7/?hl=en&img_index=5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Instagram</a> that baby Skyler is the “most beautiful secret” he’s ever kept.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For his next trick, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dom-dolla/">Dom Dolla</a> updates a bonafide banger from his youth — Puretone’s “Addicted to Bass.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Australian EDM star drops “Addicted to Bass (Dom Dolla Relapse),” a remix of another classic Aussie track that marks his first release in about eight months.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This record was quite literally the soundtrack to my childhood,” Dom (real name: Dominic Matheson explains in a statement). Originally released in 1998, “it followed me everywhere as a kid. Despite how immersive it was for me, spending a lot of time overseas as an adult, I was surprised how few of my friends were familiar with it. Fast forward to preparing for my first ever stadium show in 2025. I was toying around with a bunch of remix and edit ideas, going through old playlist of records I loved and I just couldn’t move past it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He continues, “almost 30 years have gone by and I truly hope this new version finds an audience who connect with it in a fraction of the way that I did as a kid. The addiction is real.”</p>

	“Addicted to Bass” followed Brits, too.  Originally recorded by Josh Abrahams and Amiel Daemion (as Puretone), “Addicted to Bass” caught a second wind in 2002, when it went all the way to No. 2 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, edged out by the late Aaliyah’s “More Than A Woman.” Were it not for a leak at retail, which saw “Addicted to Bass” open at No. 68 the previous week, the floor-filler wouldn’t been crowned champion.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Dom got the green light from Daemion and Abrahams, who reckons the new mix “finds the deeper, steamier layers in the song. While staying true to the original, particularly in the chorus, Dom has brought his own dirty funk groove to the party. I f****** love it!”</p>

	The fresh version got its first airing last December, when Dom made history with his show at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium. That set, which is now streaming on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/dom-dolla-unreleased-cuts-sydney-stadium-footage-1236187145/">YouTube</a>, capped a massive year during which Dom was nominated for a Grammy Award; won a slew of ARIA Awards, including the inaugural ARIA Global Impact Award; sold-out two nights at Madison Square Garden and ticked off a bucket list item when he released “No Room For A Saint,” the soundtrack for <em>F1: The Movie</em>.</p>

	Billboard’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/t/friday-music-guide/">Friday Music Guide</a> serves as a handy guide to this Friday’s most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. <br><br>This week, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/harry-styles/">Harry Styles</a> returns with his hotly-anticipated fourth solo album, <em>Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally</em>. Plus: <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/yebba/">Yebba</a> releases her stunning second album, <em>Jean</em>; <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ayra-starr/">Ayra Starr</a> releases a much-teased new single; and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/aespa/">aespa</a> reveal their theme song for an upcoming anime series. Check out all of this week’s picks below:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Harry Styles, <em>Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally</em></strong>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The long-awaited release of Harry Styles’ new album is indeed cause to celebrate — and, if there was ever a time to occasionally disco, this is surely it. <em>Kiss All The Time </em>delivers plenty of dancefloor-ready tracks and even more introspective lyrics, which together offer a glimpse into Styles’ life of late, proving that sometimes a dim-lit nightclub is the perfect place to have a bright idea. <em>Kiss All The Time </em>was executive produced by Styles’ longtime collaborator, Kid Harpoon. <br><br>For more on <em>Kiss All The Time</em>, be sure to check out <em>Billboard</em>‘s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/harry-styles-kiss-all-the-time-disco-review-tracks-ranked/">tracks ranked</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/harry-styles-kiss-all-the-time-disco-occasionally-review-1236193079/#recipient_hashed=f2ce55a636a7262a6759ce7b12007bed75d3cda1f052b0c0709689626a53f698&recipient_salt=2271145b94ac57aac389409d365d7d0dd2d565b9df532f29f90525c95beb09fa&utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=billboard_daily&utm_content=668874_03-05-2026&utm_term=3636415">critic’s take</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Yebba, <em>Jean</em></strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Just two weeks ago, celebrated singer-songwriter Yebba announced that her second album, <em>Jean</em>, would arrive on March 6. The reveal came with lead single (and album standout “Yellow Eyes”). The album follows Yebba’s 2021 debut, <em>Dawn</em>, which was largely inspired by the loss of her mother and earned a Grammy Award nomination for best traditional R&B performance. And while <em>Jean </em>is expectedly gorgeous, there’s a softer beauty about it — a quiet calm that can only accompany years of healing and acceptance. As a press release for the album states: “Releasing this album required surrender. And surrender requires a kind of letting go. In this case, letting go of expectation, of the idea that grief resolves neatly, and of the fear of oversharing.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Ayra Starr, “Where Do We Go”</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In February, Ayra Starr started teasing new music on the way — and today, the first taste arrived. “Where Do We Go” kicks off with a haunting piano melody that lasts just a few seconds before a sticky, booming beat picks up along with Starr’s assured vocals. And despite repeatedly questioning “where do we go from here?” by the sound of it, Ayra is good either way. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>aespa, “Attitude”</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After collaborating with Anderson. Paak in February on “Keychain,” a single inspired by his directorial debut, <em>K-POPS!</em>, girl group aespa is continuing to explore the intersection of music with TV and film. The punchy “Attitude” arrives as the opening song for anime series <em>Kill Blue</em> (which airs in April on TV Tokyo) and not only previews the fierce tone of the show, but perhaps also hints at even more on the way from aespa. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>The Warning, “Kerosene”</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fast-rising Mexican rock band <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-warning/">the Warning</a> has started the year strong, releasing its collaboration with Carin León in February (“Love To Be Loved”) and now sharing its incendiary new single “Kerosene.” The hard-hitting track <em>could</em> mean the band’s fifth album is on the way — its last full-length, <em>Keep Me Fed</em>, arrived in 2024 — but until then, the Warning are booked and busy with major festivals booked across Latin America and an opening slot on Yungblud’s global trek. A press release for the new single explains: “The band is poised for a massive 2026.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	SYDNEY, Australia — <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://newlevels.com.au/?utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=social">New Levels</a> steps on up with an extension to its global partnership with Virgin Music Group, and the signing of several acts, including the celebrated hip-hop artist Hooligan Hefs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Announced today, March 6, the expanded new arrangement with VMG covers releases, marketing, and artist development, signaling a new chapter of international growth for <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://newlevels.com.au/?utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=social">New Levels</a>’ coordinated worldwide campaigns and long-term market development, explains <strong>Jelal Edmonds,</strong> founder and CEO of the independent Australian label and management company.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Extending the partnership with Virgin Music Group is a major step for New Levels,” Edmonds tells <em>Billboard</em> via email. “Over the past four years, Virgin has consistently brought real global value to our operation: world-class infrastructure and a team that moves with speed and care. This extension is about scaling what works and taking New Levels to new levels.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Alongside the new partnership, <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://newlevels.com.au/?utm_source=hoobe&utm_medium=social">New Levels</a> re-signs <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/larissalambert/">Larissa Lambert</a> and welcomes new signings <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/hooliganhefs/">Hooligan Hefs</a> and CV, while continuing to develop emerging acts Open Till L8 and Rops1. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Hailing from Doonside in Western Sydney, Hooligan Hefs celebrates the new deal with the release of a fresh single, “Whistle,” featuring New Zealand hitmaker Savage (“Swing,” “Freaks”). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Whistle” blows its tune ahead of Hooligan Hefs’ first tour of the United States, a run that includes a spot on the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://2026.rollingloud.com/" target="_blank">2026 Rolling Loud</a> hip-hop festival bill, presented May 8-10 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, FL.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Recognized as one of Australia’s most commercially impactful rap exports and a pioneer of Australian drill, Hooligan Hefs (real name: Simeona Silapa) has amassed upwards of 500 million combined streams.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Since his breakthrough with 2020’s “Living In Sin,” Hefs was nominated for best hip-hop release at the 2020 ARIA Awards for “Send It!”, and seen several records snag ARIA accreditation, including “No Effect,” “The Party,” “Tell Em I’m Doing Eetswa” and “IYKYK”. Last year he cracked the ARIA Charts with “She Will” (with Day1) and “6Ixer Baby.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s official: <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-dean/">Olivia Dean</a> is standing on Australia’s all-time chart podium.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The newly-minted <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/olivia-dean-best-new-artist-grammy-history-island-records/">breakthrough artist winner</a> at the Grammy Awards holds top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart with <em>The Art Of Loving</em>, for its 10<sup>th</sup> non-consecutive weeks at No. 1. At the same time, “Man I Need” retains top spot on the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.aria.com.au/charts/singles-chart/2026-03-09" target="_blank">ARIA Singles Chart</a> for the 16th consecutive week. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With that feat, “Man I Need” is the third longest-reigning single since the ARIA Charts were first published in 1983.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The English singer and songwriter is nipping at the heels of Alex Warren’s “<em>Ordinary”</em> (from 2025) and The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s <em>Stay</em> (2021-22), which are tied in second place on the all-time list, each with 17 weeks at No. 1. “Man I Need” is still some distance behind the greatest of all time, Tones And I’s “Dance Monkey,” which logged 24 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2019-2020. Whatever happens, Dean’s reign on the ARIA Chart is the longest by a Brit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Man I Need” leads three Olivia Dean top 10 hits on the latest chart, published Friday, March 6, ahead of “Rein Me In” with Sam Fender, which holds at No. 2, and “So Easy (To Fall In Love),” down 3-4.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Alysa Liu played a hand in ensuring Dean didn’t dominate the top 3.  The gold medal skater’s now-viral moment at the Winter Olympic Exhibition Gala gives PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson’ 2025 song “Stateside” a bump, up 11-3 for a new peak position. PinkPantheress’ <em>Fancy That</em>, meanwhile, glides 39-6 on the albums chart, for a new peak position.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Texas artist Bella Kay enters the top 10 for the first time with the single “Iloveitiloveitiloveit,” which vaults 20-7; Alex Warren scores his fifth top 50 single as “Fever Dream” debuts at No. 20; and BLACKPINK bows at No. 30 with their<em> DEADLINE</em> EP. It’s the K-pop quartet’s 10<sup>th</sup> top 50 appearance on the national singles frame, including three top 10s and a groundbreaking No. 1 with 2022’s “Pink Venom.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The only Australian-made title on the ARIA Top 50 Singles Chart belongs to Tame Impala, as “Dracula” lifts 21-17 for a new peak position.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Over on the <a href="https://www.aria.com.au/charts/albums-chart/2026-03-09" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ARIA Albums Chart,</a> Bruno Mars has the top debut with his fourth studio album, <em>The Romantic</em>. It’s new at No. 2. Mars also peaked at No. 2 in 2010 with <em>Doo-Wops & Hooligans</em>; went all the way to No. 1 for three weeks with 2013’s <em>Unorthodox Jukebox</em>; and hit No. 3 with 2016’s <em>24K Magic</em>. Also, his Silk Sonic collaboration with Anderson Paak bagged a top 10 appearance with 2021’s <em>An Evening With Silk Sonic</em>, peaking at No. 4. <em>The Romantic</em> generates the top new debut on the ARIA Singles Chart, “Risk It All,” new at No. 13.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mitski enjoys a career high with her eighth studio album, <em>Nothing’s About to Happen to Me</em>, which opens its ARIA Chart account at No. 3. That eclipses the No. 7 for her 2022 collection <em>Laurel Hell</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Close behind is Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s “virtual band” Gorillaz, with <em>The Mountain</em>. It’s new at No. 4, for Gorillaz’s sixth top 10 appearance on the ARIA Chart, a tally that includes their 2010 leader <em>Plastic Beach</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Finally, new album releases from Australia acts Pacific Avenue (<em>Lovesick Sentimental </em>at No. 17) and Telenova (<em>The Warning</em> at No. 28) impact the top 40 at first attempt.</p>

	The team-up debuts at No. 1 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs list dated March 7 following its first full week of chart measurement after its Feb. 19 release. In the Feb. 20-26 tracking period, it totaled 1.4 million official U.S. streams, 183,000 radio audience impressions and 1,000 downloads sold, according to Luminate.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The lattermost count also sends the song to No. 1 on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hard-rock-digital-song-sales" rel="">Hard Rock Digital Song Sales</a>, where it’s the band’s second ruler, following “The Laugh Track” in 2025, and Grace’s first.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Twisting the Knife” scored 215,000 streams and 1,000 in sales Feb. 19, begetting a No. 4 bow on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart dated Feb. 28.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ice Nine Kills’ previous best rank on Hot Hard Rock Songs was “A Work of Art” (featuring <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/shavo" rel="">SHAVO</a>), which debuted and peaked at No. 3 in 2024. The band has seven total top 10s on the tally since its 2020 inception.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Additionally, “Twisting the Knife” starts at No. 40 on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-mainstream-rock-tracks" rel="">Mainstream Rock Airplay</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The track is Grace’s first <em>Billboard</em> chart entry. Though mostly known as an actor, she has released music since 2021 via Photo Finish Records.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The connection between the artists? Grace is one of the stars of <em>Scream 7</em>, in which “Twisting the Knife” is featured. Ice Nine Kills’ inclusion on the soundtrack is apt, as many of the band’s songs are themed after works in the horror genre.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Scream 7</em> premiered in theaters Feb. 27.</p>

		<strong>Trending Up Is Hard to Do: Neil Sedaka Streams Up 700% Following Legendary Pop Singer-Songwriter’s Death at 87</strong>	</h2>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/neil-sedaka">Neil Sedaka</a> died at age 87 last Friday (Feb. 27), as announced by a family statement posted to Sedaka’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVRys9wkkgm/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram account</a>. Sedaka was responsible <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/neil-sedaka-breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-forever-number-one-1236189514/?_thumbnail_id=1236189595">for three</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/neil-sedaka-laughter-in-the-rain-forever-number-1-1236189804/">Billboard Hot 100</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/neil-sedaka-bad-blood-forever-number-one-1236191502/?_thumbnail_id=1236191630">No. 1 hits</a> over his decades-spanning career — and co-wrote <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/captain-and-tennille-love-will-keep-us-together-forever-number-one/">a fourth</a> — and was responsible for dozens of additional hits from the late ‘50s to the early ‘80s, for both himself and other artists.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Following his death, fans of Sedaka — and ‘60s and ‘70s pop in general — swarmed streaming services to pay tribute to the late idol. His catalog totaled 2.4 million official on-demand U.S. streams in the first four days of this tracking week (Feb. 27-Mar. 2), according to early data provided by Luminate — up 708% from the same period the prior week. (It also posted nearly 8,000 digital song sales over that period, after a negligible amount the prior week.) </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The songs that led the way from his catalog over this period were three of his signature hits: “Laughter in the Rain” (up 505% in streams to 514,000), “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” (up 453% to 307,000) and “Calendar Girl” (up 519% to 212,000). In addition, The Captain and Tennille’s Sedaka-co-penned “Love Will Keep Us Together” got a more modest 15% bump to 137,000 streams, while Sedaka’s original “Love” was up a whopping 1,811% to 55,000 streams. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sedaka was laid to rest earlier this week. His family announcement referred to the late great as “a true rock n’ roll legend, an inspiration to millions, but most importantly, at least to those of us who were lucky enough to know him, an incredible human being who will be deeply missed.” – <em>ANDREW UNTERBERGER</em></p>

		<strong>Multi-Generational Rap Samples Led by XXXTENTACION and Toppoppgen Revive Yuna’s “Someone Out of Town”</strong>	</h2>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna has been giving the world gorgeous R&B music for over a decade now, and thanks to nifty flips in hip-hop tracks from rising star Toppoppgen and the late <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/xxxtentacion">XXXTENTATCION</a>, a new generation of fans is discovering it. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	An ascendant rapper from North Carolina, Toppoppgen (born Genesis Kaliel Roland) shared his second full-length release, <em>Kalon</em>, last October after signing to Columbia via Signal Records in spring 2025. “Numb,” the set’s breakout track, flips XXXTentacion’s “Let’s Pretend We’re Numb,” a 2015 standalone single from the deceased Florida MC — which, in turn, samples Yuna’s “Someone Out of Town,” a track from her 2011 <em>Decorate</em> EP. Initial interest in the track was a part of Toppoppgen’s general buzz as one of the internet’s favorite current underground artists, but the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@justwhatsinmyhead/video/7602356156274691358?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">emotional</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jjyb1_/video/7569365917881093406?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">weight</a> of his <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@payme4nt/video/7590587450817383710?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lyrics</a> (which trade on the same sentiments as Yuna’s “original”) quickly won over fans on a much larger scale. The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/numb-7559676060204369936?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">official “Numb” TikTok sound</a> currently plays in 32,000 posts. According to Luminate, “Numb” has leapt 71% in official on-demand U.S. streams over the past three months, going from 643,000 official streams (Nov. 21-27) to 1.1 million official streams (Feb. 20-26). </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Given that Toppoppgen is a direct musical and aesthetic descendant of XXXTentacion, fans naturally brought the latter’s “Let’s Pretend” <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@user917021157/video/7513421826509278494?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">back into rotation</a> as “Numb” dominated their For You feeds. “Let’s Pretend” jumped 23% in official on-demand U.S. streams over the past three months, going from 316,000 official streams (Nov. 21-27) to 389,000 official streams (Feb. 20-26). The official <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/let's-pretend-we're-numb-7237327153498785794?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">corresponding TikTok sound</a> can also be heard in over 51,000 videos. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Of course, this all goes back to Yuna’s “Someone Out of Town,” which has exploded 3,820% in official U.S. streaming activity over the past three months, flying from 65,000 official weekly streams (Nov. 21-27) to a whopping 2.57 million (Feb. 20-26).

		<strong>A TikTok Rainbow Connection: Deep Cut From ‘70s Prog-Pop Rocker Goes Viral</strong>	</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This week’s evidence that you truly never know where hit songs are going to come from in the mid-2020s comes from Chris Rainbow, a Scottish purveyor of proggy pop-rock likely best known in the U.S. for his long association with ‘70s and ‘80s hitmakers The Alan Parsons Project. Despite never having a hit of any real size on his own in the U.S., he makes his solo bow on <em>Billboard</em>’s Hot Rock Songs chart this week, thanks to the TikTok revival of his 1979 gem “Be Like a Woman.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The song has taken off on the viral platform for its near-proto-chillwave sound, which has allowed it to become a soundtrack to a wide variety of videos — including one <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7604405738898836240" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">following a trend</a> of users posting photos of a large number of used glasses or candles, with phrases of things they enthusiastically consume posted over each of them. Consequently, “Woman” has also crossed over to streaming services, rising from just over 18,000 weekly official on-demand streams back in November to 66,000 in the final full chart week of 2025, according to Luminate — and then exploding over early 2026 to just over 2.5 million for the week ending Feb. 26, a gain of 13,538% from three months earlier. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That most recent streaming week was enough to send the song onto <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/rock-songs">Hot Rock Songs</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/rock-songs">Hot Rock & Alternative Songs</a>, where it debuted at No. 18 and No. 22 (respectively) for the charts dated Feb. 28 — the first appearances on a <em>Billboard</em> chart for Rainbow, who died at age 68 in 2015. – <em>AU</em></p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Where there’s a new trending TikTok sound, a Zeddy Will video won’t be too far behind. “Yoga,” a 2015 collaboration between <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jidenna">Jidenna</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/janelle-monae">Janelle Monáe</a>, is surging across socials, thanks to an <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@willzeddy/video/7610250698952920333?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">infectious clip</a> the content creator and rapper shared to his TikTok page on Feb. 23. Featuring his trademark animated dance moves and a snippet of what seems to be a forthcoming proper remix, the post quickly went viral, garnering over 22 million views and 4.3 million likes. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Even before Zeddy’s post, TikTok users <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jmuppie._/video/7604663978316369166?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7517014253786678815" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@/jmuppie._ and @/cmupp1e_</a> shared a dance trend on Feb. 8 (set to<strong> </strong>a mashup of “Yoga” and “Cotton Eye Joe”), which has since collected nearly 10 million views and over 775,000 likes. Between a whole new generation of listeners encountering the song for the first time — as well as the dance trend and general nostalgia for 2016-era media — “Yoga” has completely taken over TikTok. Zeddy Will’s <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7609570043273153311?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">unofficial sound</a> plays in nearly 30,000 posts, while the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7607406914024213271?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">official “Yoga” sound</a> can be heard in over 173,000 clips. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Over the past three weeks, “Yoga” jumped over 583% in streaming activity, according to Luminate. During the period of Feb. 13-19, the first full week after the dance hit the timeline, “Yoga” earned over 235,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, up 67% from the week before. During the period of Feb. 27-March 2, the first weekend-ish period following Zeddy Will’s clip, “Yoga” pulled in over 587,000 official streams, up over 141% from the period of Feb. 20-23. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Originally a No. 79 <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Hot 100</a> hit, “Yoga” could very well be on its way to a full-scale resurgence this year. – <em>K.D.</em> </p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ryan-gosling/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ryan Gosling</a> recently got a little ahead of himself on the set of <em>Saturday Night Live</em>, where he’s been rehearsing all week ahead of his fourth — not fifth — time hosting.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a promo shared Wednesday (March 4), the actor arrives at 30 Rock with a spring in his step, strutting through the halls and embracing his inner-diva as he chucks a lit cigarette into cast member Tommy Brennan’s drink and lights Mikey Day’s headshot on fire. At one point, Gosling hops on top of a faux horse and sprays champagne all over the <em>SNL </em>stage — until Day kills the mood by asking the show’s next host what exactly he thinks he’s doing.</p>

	Called “Journey of a Lifetime,” the tour will put forth a major production and a career-spanning set reaching back to the tour’s namesake, one of the first tracks Zeds Dead ever put online back in 2009. The pair, Zachary Rapp-Rovan and Dylan Mamid, advise that they’ll be taking time off in 2027, so this tour will go “all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime.”</p>

	Tickets for the tour go on sale March 11. The tour will feature a rotating collection of support acts including Alleycvt, Daily Bread, Deathpact, Dr. Fresch, Imanu, Ivy Lab, Mary Droppinz, Moody Good, and Whethan.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Journey of a Lifetime is one of the first tracks we uploaded to the World Wide Web as Zeds Dead way back in 2009,” Rapp-Rovan and Mamid says in a joint statement. “17 years later, it feels like it was a prophecy. We might have not realized it at the time, but we were in fact blasting off into space and leaving behind life as we knew it. This journey is your journey with us as well. We’ve grown up together and celebrated life. We’ve created a world together, and the Journey of a Lifetime tour aims to be our most thorough exploration of it. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This will be our biggest tour yet, as it’s taking place in large outdoor venues and we’re going to make it the best show we can make,” they continue. “It will be the grand finale of everything we’ve been working on. It’s not the end though. To quote something we sampled in a beat once ‘Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.’ We’ll be taking some time off in 2027 so we’re going all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime. See you there.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Zeds Dead released its most recent album, <em>Return to the Spectrum of Intergalatic Happiness</em>, last March. 2026 also marks the ten year anniversary of the duo’s label, Deadbeats.  </p>

	The IRS has come knocking on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/quavo/">Quavo</a>’s door for $3 million in allegedly unpaid income taxes dating back to 2021.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A tax lien notice filed in January shows that the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Migos">Migos</a> rapper (born Quavious Marshall) has a balance of $2.9 million in unpaid federal taxes and penalties. The IRS claims he owes $916,000 from the 2021 tax year, $887,000 from 2022 and $1.1 million from 2024.</p>

	The IRS has now placed a lien on Quavo’s property, including his 11,000 square-foot home in Alpharetta, Ga. This is essentially a warning that if the rapper does not pay up, the federal government could eventually seize and sell off his assets to satisfy the tax debts.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We have made a demand for payment of this liability, but it remains unpaid,” reads the IRS notice to Quavo. “Therefore, there is a lien in favor of the United States on all property and rights to property belonging to this taxpayer.”</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reps for Migos did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday (March 4).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This is not the first time Quavo has been notified of unpaid income taxes. Last year, Georgia’s Department of Revenue served him with two liens totaling $496,000 for unpaid state taxes and related penalties from 2022 and 2023.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Meanwhile, Quavo’s Migos collaborator <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Offset">Offset </a>got hit with a federal tax lien notice of his own in 2024 that cited nearly $1.6 million in unpaid income taxes from 2021. Offset (Kiari Cephus) eventually paid off the debts last year, and the IRS notified him in December 2025 that his lien had been released.  </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The culture is evolving. The charts are shifting, and in 2026 the artists leading both are impossible to ignore. As the NAACP Image Awards sets the stage, the story moves from Kendrick Lamar’s continued artistic reign to new rising stars like Olivia Dean. Let’s get into it. This is Billboard News presented by Lexus. K-Dot’s impact remains unmatched, setting the tone for a year defined by bold storytelling and cultural power. He recently surpassed Jay-Z and Kanye West to become the winningest hip-hop Grammy Award winner of all time, with 27 total wins. Teyana Taylor has proven she’s a true multihyphenate, shaping both Hollywood and the music industry with her dual presence. She shined in ‘Straw,’ ‘All Is Fair,’ ‘The RIP’ and ‘One Battle After Another,’ which earned her a best supporting actress Oscar nomination and Golden Globe win. With hits like “Hard Part” and “Bed of Roses,” her album ‘Escape Room’ landed her a top 25 spot on the RnB/Hip-Hop Album chart and earned Teyana her first ever Grammy nomination.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It feels amazing to see all my girls out here doing it. The first person that comes to mind is Teyana Taylor. She is killing I want to give you your flowers. You are doing the thing I’m so inspired.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Wednesday (March 4), the reality star revealed that he’d “dug into the archives” to find his old self-made audition video in honor of the competition show’s current 50th season. Noting that it was filmed “three noses ago” — a playful reference to his various rhinoplasties — Grande added that while he didn’t get a part on <em>Survivor</em>, he “ended up booking a stay at the <em>Big Brother</em> house instead.”</p>

	The tape opens with a shirtless Frankie doing a Kubrick stare down the barrel of the camera before busting a groove with the city of Los Angeles sprawling behind him. He then shows off his breakdancing, diving, gymnastic and tree-climbing skills to prove he has what it takes to compete in <em>Survivor</em>‘s famously tough stakes.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m fully trained for it, because I was in the Broadway show <em>Mamma Mia!</em>,” he says at one point while explaining why he thought he was going to be the “next” winner of the show. “Clearly, there are a lot of similarities between Broadway and <em>Survivor</em>.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Though <em>Survivor </em>didn’t pan out for Grande, the entertainer has accomplished much in the years (and noses) since he filmed his tape. As Frankie mentioned, he would star on <em>Big Brother 16</em> in 2014. In 2025, he started releasing music, dropping the album <em>Hotel Rock Bottom </em>— featuring <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/ariana-grande-frankie-hotel-rock-bottom-remix-release-date-1236015450/">his little sis</a> on a remix of the title track — that June.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This song is so personal to me, and having her on it makes it even more meaningful,” he wrote of Ari joining forces with him on “Hotel Rock Bottom” in July.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Check out Frankie’s <em>Survivor </em>tape below.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The past year has been a remarkable one for British music: <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-dean">Olivia Dean</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/raye">RAYE</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/central-cee">Central Cee</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/yungblud">Yungblud</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sleep-token">Sleep Token</a> and more have dominated charts worldwide and proved that this tiny island can still produce stars and compelling, unique music.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The biggest personality in this cast of characters, however, was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lola-young">Lola Young</a>. Her unfiltered personality drew comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Adele and her vocal chops were displayed on “Messy,” a U.K. No. 1 single and global smash. An alumni of the BRIT School, a non-fee-paying state school that has produced a number of the aforementioned stars, Young was everything you could want from a pop star: brash, contradictory and immensely talented.</p>

	In September, Young <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/lola-young-collapses-onstage-nyc-concert-all-things-go-1236077195/">collapsed</a> onstage at the All Things Go Festival in New York in a deeply troubling incident. “I’m going away for a while,” she wrote in a statement, adding that she was taking time to “work on myself and come back stronger.” All live dates were canceled, including a homecoming run in the U.K. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She’s been true to her word. In February, she beat Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan to the best pop solo performance prize at the 2026 Grammys (and gave a suitably <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/uk-music-industry-grammy-wins-olivia-dean-lola-young/">sweary speech</a>). On Saturday, she took home breakthrough artist at <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2026-brit-awards-complete-winners-list-1236189043/">the BRIT Awards</a> and said during her acceptance speech “music was a safe haven” and a place to “escape for so many, including myself.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Wednesday she fulfilled the final part of her comeback by returning to the stage at London’s Palladium. Billed as a one-night-only event, it saw Young return to the stage in stunning fashion and come back as an even stronger live performer. These were the best moments from the show.</p>

	As if anticipation could be any higher than it already is, a trailer for the Netflix concert special <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/bts-netflix-livestream-performance-the-return-documentary-1236171473/">BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG</a></em> has arrived.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Starting with a flashback to the day BTS announced they would be taking a break from group activities for each member to complete his mandatory military service and focus on solo projects, we hear the bandmates saying in Korean “So emotional,” “I really miss them” and “Let’s get back out there!” as we see footage of hordes of their lightstick-wielding fans.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This week, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/t-i/">T.I.</a> re-entered the top 40 of the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100 </a>with “LET EM KNOW.” On Wednesday (March 4), the self-proclaimed Kang of the South reflected on the song’s success during an <em>In Conversation </em>interview with <em>Billboard</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s surreal, in a way,” says T.I. “It’s humbling that relevance still exists within this art that I’ve been able to present to the world after such a long journey. I just appreciate the fans receiving it.”</p>

	“LET EM KNOW” marks T.I.’s 58th entry on the Hot 100 (No. 38 this week) — his first since 2014’s “No Mediocre” — and will appear on his final album <em>Kill The King</em>. Produced by Pharrell, the song finds T.I. in prime form, allowing his bravado and steely delivery to take center stage while Skateboard P’s bristling production radiates nostalgia, transporting listeners back to the mid-2000s. The chemistry between T.I. and Pharrell dates back to their 2006 collaboration “Good Life” and their chart-topper on Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.”</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We both have an unwavering passion for the craft,” he says of his working relationship with Pharrell. “He has an enormous amount of success and things he can be doing, but music calls him. It urges him to create in so many different genres just out of sheer, genuine passion.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Alongside his final album rollout, T.I. has also found himself in a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/ti-50-cent-feud-timeline/">clash</a> with 50 Cent. The rap duel has dominated headlines, with 50 posting photos of T.I.’s wife Tiny on Instagram. T.I. and his children, Domani and King, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/ti-didnt-want-kids-50-cent-beef-1236191676/">responded </a>with diss tracks. While 50 hasn’t replied lyrically, T.I. prefers to respond in the booth rather than online.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Ultimately, the reason I took to the booth was because it was the most mature, level-headed, peaceful, and organized display of disdain that I could have done,” he explains. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Watch <em>Billboard’s</em> <em>In Conversation</em> with T.I. below, where he also discusses <em>ATL 2</em>, features on <em>Kill The King</em>, and more.</p>

	On Tuesday (March 3), Hailey Bieber sat down with her OBGYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney, co-hosts of the <em>SHE MD </em>podcast, for a candid conversation on her health and postpartum recovery.

	In a moment of candid honesty, Bieber revealed that Dr. Aliabadi diagnosed her with uterine septum prior to her pregnancy and that the doctor warned her that the condition may cause complications.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I told her don’t get pregnant,” Dr. Aliabadi said. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m not thinking about getting pregnant right now, so we’ll cross the bridge when we get there,” Bieber said of her response at the time. “And then, I magically got pregnant.” Hailey and Justin announced that Hailey was pregnant with their first child in May of 2024. The couple welcomed their now 16-month-old son just a few months later on Aug. 23, 2024. Although Hailey has previously <a href="https://www.today.com/parents/celebrity/hailey-bieber-childbirth-complications-postpartum-hermorrhage-rcna207879" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">opened up </a>about complications she faced during pregnancy and childbirth, the podcast appearance was her first time speaking on uterine septum.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the discussion on the condition, Dr. Aliabadi goes on to break down what exactly a uterine septum is. She explains that it is a genetic condition where a thin wall grows in the cavity of the uterus. The septum can range from mild to severe depending on it’s thickness. Bieber condition was considered moderate, which Dr. Aliabadi said comes with a higher risk of a miscarriage. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The risk for her was about, maybe, 25 to 40 percent for miscarriage,” the doctor said of Bieber. “And a 10 to 20 percent risk of preterm delivery,” which Bieber said was their bigger concern. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Dr. Aliabadi recounts first telling Bieber of the risks to which the Rhode Founder responded, “I believe that everything’s gonna work out fine.” The doctor and Bieber explain that a moderate septum is not an immediate indication for the termination of a pregnancy; but it is important to be aware that those affected may be at a higher risk for certain things. Hailey was h</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It happened and it all worked out,” Hailey said. “And clearly my septum did what it needed to do.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The meetings of APRA AMCOS reps and counterparts from its sister collecting societies, united under the CISAC banner, will explore at length the challenges of the AI revolution — the “most significant threat in a generation,” a statement reads.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“APRA and CISAC have been advocating for creators’ rights for 100 years, and to be able to meet on home soil to both celebrate our history and look forward to our next 100 years together is a great honor,” comments AMCOS CEO <strong>Dean Ormston</strong>, who has been chair of CISAC since 2025. “We stand strong in our collaboration with CMOs from around the world, united under the CISAC banner, as we advocate for the value of human creativity in the face of the AI revolution.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	AI is the issue of our time. A <a href="https://www.cisac.org/services/reports-and-research/cisacpmp-strategy-ai-study" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recently published study</a>, commissioned by CISAC, found that the market size for Generative AI music could reach up to €16 billion ($20.9 billion) annually by 2028, with as much as 24% of music creators’ revenues at risk without effective regulation and licensing frameworks.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	APRA AMCOS, meanwhile, was a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/australia-government-shuts-down-copyright-exemptions-ai/">key cog</a> in the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/australian-productivity-commission-final-report-ai/">creative industries</a>‘ successful lobbying efforts that saw Australia reject a Text and Data Mining exception into its copyright laws, effectively shutting the lid on mass-scale unlicensed use of creative intellectual property.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The scale of transformation we are witnessing today calls for the same collective resolve that defined our founding a century ago,” comments CISAC director general<strong> Gadi Oron</strong>. “Our responsibility — now as always — is to ensure that innovation strengthens the creative economy rather than diminishes it, and that creators receive a fair share of the value their works generate. Human creativity is the fuel that powers AI systems and it must be protected, respected and fairly remunerated.”</p>

	APRA AMCOS raises its century with a full year of special programs. As <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/apra-preps-significant-celebration-100th-anniversary/">previously reported</a>, those birthday festivities include the launch of a new “hall of fame-style” event in November, along with the “biggest ever” <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.apraamcos.com.au/about/supporting-the-industry/awards/apra-music-awards-2026">APRA Music Awards</a> in Sydney in April and <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.apraamcos.co.nz/music-creators/awards/silver-scroll-awards">Silver Scroll Awards/Kaitito Kaiaka</a> in New Zealand this October, and the first-ever <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/michael-gudinski-apra-songhubs-program/">Gudinski SongHubs</a> in Melbourne, a nod to the late, great Mushroom Group founder Michael Gudinski.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Formed by six music publishers a century ago, in 1926, the Australasian Performing Right Association now represents over 128,000 music creators.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Revenue and distributions continue to push into unchartered territory. Including its sister organization AMCOS, the Australasian rights organization <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/apra-amcos-record-annual-revenue-distributions-2025/">last October</a> posted annual revenue of A$787.9 million ($511 million) for 2024-25, up 6.5% from the previous financial year, with net distributable revenue at A$683.4 million ($443 million), up 7.8% year-on-year, also an all-time result.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Based on recent results, <em>Billboard </em>reported at the time, the A$800 million revenue milestone should be easily surpassed in the next annual report. The magical A$1 billion figure is on the near horizon.</p>

	“I don’t know if we’re going to be touring anymore after this,” he remarked in a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcxNEn6-edM&t=11s" target="_blank">video filmed from the BOK Center</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcxNEn6-edM&t=11s" target="_blank">crowd</a>, “but I’m proud of the show that we’re doing right now. And I’m f—ing grateful that you’ve chosen to spend your evening with us tonight. Thank you very much.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reznor shared his thoughts as he recounted a performance in Tulsa “many years” ago when NIN was the support act for Peter Murphy at Cain’s Ballroom, a room capped at 1,800. That night, Reznor had a life-affirming moment, as he watched a member of the audience scream back the lyrics to “Head Like a Hole,” a classic early NIN song from the 1989 album <em>Pretty Hate Machine</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the same day that Reznor hinted at the end of the road for his Rock And Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band, another surprise: NIN released a companion album to its <em>Tron: Ares </em>soundtrack, titled <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/nine-inch-nails-tron-ares-divergence-companion-album-1236188448/">Tron Ares: Divergence</a></em>. It’s the followup to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/tron-ares-nine-inch-nails-film-score-director-interview-1236042358/"><em>TRON: Ares</em></a>, the first-ever film score from Oscar-winning composers Reznor and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/atticus-ross">Atticus Ross</a>, credited as Nine Inch Nails, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	NIN ensured the 1980s were buried under a ton of metal with <em>Pretty Hate Machine.</em> Although it only peaked at No. 75 on the Billboard 200, the album marked ground zero in a new movement of heavy-edged music, with the synth in its stable. It’s one of 18 NIN appearances on the all-genres albums chart, a tally that includes two leaders: 1999’s <em>The Fragile</em> (one week at No. 1) and 2015’s <em>With Teeth</em> (one week).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reznor and Co. are currently on the second leg of the <em><a href="https://www.nin.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peel It Back</a> </em>tour, which is scheduled to wrap up March 16 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA. The first leg got underway June 15, 2025, in Dublin, and ended with two shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles last September.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Taken as a whole, the animating idea behind <em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally</em> is that the music is <a href="https://billboard.com/artist/harry-styles">Harry Styles</a>’ gift to himself — a celebration of liberation and following one’s instinct. Its charm is in how it lifts the rest of us, too.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the liner notes for his fourth studio album — which arrives Friday — Styles takes to thanking “those who inspire me to make anything” and “those who helped me know when to say <em>yes.</em>” It reads as a love letter to the voices and impulses that shape the cross-generational superstar’s inner world, a reminder that freedom is sweeter when shared. Its contents follow suit, with songs that move through romantic grief, restlessness and self-actualisation, but all come back to a recurring mantra: Sometimes, nightclubs can hold the power to transform a person forever. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On a spontaneous night out, the magic may happen in the hands of the DJ, but it relies on the energy and connection of a community of believers bound up in the music. In the time since Styles last released a record — the gleaming <em>Harry’s House</em> debuted at No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> and scooped album of the year at the 2023 Grammys — he has been <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1po0chi/harry_styles_zo%C3%AB_kravitz_and_friends_in_berlin/">spotted outside Berlin superclub Berghain</a> and losing himself <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DKo5Cc1tr-S/">at a Jamie xx gig,</a> while also recuperating in Italy after a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/harry-styles-tops-midyear-boxscore-charts/">Billboard Boxscore-smashing</a> world tour that rolled on for two years. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	These moments have revealed Styles living far outside the glare of the camera. As such, rather than locking in on the pristine, highly stylised pop arrangements of <em>Harry’s House</em>, on <em>Kis</em>s <em>All the Time</em>, Styles fleshes out his introspection more inventively, weaving in acoustic instrumentation, jagged beats and bursts of feedback that thrive on the push and pull of delayed gratification. There is a fresh immediacy, even a hint of intensity, to some of these songs, if not necessarily the sense of release that the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a>-topping lead single “Aperture” foreshadowed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Guided by trusted collaborator Kid Harpoon, the flashes of ‘70s guitar and ‘80s hooks that characterise much of Styles’ earlier output deepen into explorations of rock, disco and electronic house, often resting on the thrill of combustion by fusing opposing sonic elements. Drawing clear inspiration from LCD Soundsystem or even the ecstatic catharsis of Hot Chip’s <em>A Bath Full of Ecstasy </em>era, the record feels explorative and intimate and, at points, explosively alive. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As much as he’s dominated the mainstream over the past few years, Styles appears to be following some fresh curiosities and crafting new sounds that feel uncharted for him. The results are uneven in places, but perhaps that’s what makes them so compelling. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While all of <em>Kiss</em> <em>All The Time</em>. <em>Disco, Occasionally</em> is worth absorbing, read <em>Billboard</em>‘s breakdown and preliminary ranking of every song on Styles’ latest album below.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	MELBOURNE, Australia — After 30 years with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/mushroom-group-indie-music-50-years-chairman-ceo-interview/">Mushroom Group</a>, and upwards of four decades in the Australian music industry, <strong>Dean McLachlan</strong> is calling it a day.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The label veteran joined Mushroom Group in 1997 as promotions manager, initially working on Kylie Minogue’s <em>Impossible Princess </em>and Hunters & Collectors’ <em>Juggernaut. </em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Then, he served in various roles with Mushroom Music Publishing, Mushroom Pictures and Liberation Music, and in 2017 became general manager of Bloodlines, the label co-founded by the late Michael Gudinski and Warren Costello and now part of Mushroom Music.  He was promoted to managing director of Bloodlines in 2021.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With the creation of Mushroom Music in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/mushroom-group-restructures-forms-mushroom-music/">July 2024</a>, McLachlan was appointed senior director, iconic artists and catalogue, working across the business’s recording and publishing divisions, with a remit to continue steering the songwriting and releases of Mushroom’s artists, writers and prestigious catalogues.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mushroom Music was described at the time of formation as a “powerhouse operation” which gathered the roster of artists and writers from across the music specialist’s recording, publishing and neighbouring rights activities, from Vance Joy to Kylie Minogue, The Teskey Brothers, Jimmy Barnes, Childish Gambino, Kehlani, Julia Jacklin and many others.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Matt Gudinski</strong>, CEO of the Melbourne-based independent music colossus, lauds McLachlan for his integrity, passion, unwavering loyalty, and enduring contribution to the business and its artists.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“A few years ago,” remarks Gudinski in a statement, “when we launched a new annual staff award to recognise the person who best embodies the energy and spirit of Mushroom, there was only one possible first recipient – Dean.” McLachlan, he continues, “has helped shape the careers of so many remarkable artists in both the recording and publishing business – and having learned his craft under my father and Warren Costello, he is a student of two of the best in the industry.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	McLachlan now moves into a consulting role on an advisory capacity, for a three year period.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s impossible to overstate the mark Dean’s made,” adds Mushroom Music co-CEO <strong>Linda Bosidis</strong>. “No one matches the passion, loyalty or the depth of relationships he’s built. A true music lover, he listens on repeat, buys the t-shirt, stands front row, drives to regional gigs no one else can find, with stamina to outlast half the crowd.” The outgoing exec “brings the vibe and his authenticity draws artists and industry icons, not just out of respect but genuine affection. Dean is one of the most steadfast, incomparable and generous people you’ll ever meet. Our industry is better for having him”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Early on, McLachlan cut his teeth in retail with a three-year stint with Katies Cards and Records, followed by a decade at EMI Records.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I leave with lifelong friendships,” continues McLachlan in a statement, “some stretching back more than four decades – and an enormous sense of pride in being forever connected to Mushroom and our artists. These relationships and memories are, without question, the greatest achievements of my career.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But because he’s Kaytranada, one of the more lauded dance/electronic producers of the last decade, even this quiet period has been flecked with glamour. In early February, he celebrated a pair of Grammy nominations (for best remixed recording and best dance/electronic recording for “Space Invader” from his 2025 album <em>Ain’t No Damn Way!</em>) with a party hosted alongside fellow nominee <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pinkpantheress/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pinkpantheress/">PinkPantheress</a> and sponsored by Patron, the Grammys’ official tequila partner.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While he didn’t win that night, he thinks of the event as a sort of cumulative celebration of his 10 Grammy nominations and two wins going back to 2021. Next year may see him the nominee fields once more, as he’s currently shifting into studio mode with the goal to make another album, a project that, when it eventually exists, will be the fifth solo studio LP in a catalog extending back to his beloved 2016 debut, <em>99.9%</em>. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the decade since, Katranada (born Louis Keven Celestin) has become a scene hero for his ability to fuse electronic with hip-hop with R&B and what he endearingly calls “boogie music,” then lace it with a signature swagger and sophistication. Over the phone, he’s warm, funny and enthusiastic, keen to discuss music, touring, tequila and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>It’s been a few months since you came off the road. What has this time off been like for you?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Basically, I’ve been really ready to work on my next project. I’ve been very eager to continue dropping albums, and I have less of the idea that preparing a big album has to be such a big deal. I want to have an approach where I release more material. Back in the day, a lot of artists dropped albums every year, or even every nine months. I want to approach the idea of an album that way, so I’m working on my next project. I really want to have a deadline so it can maybe come out next year, but we’ll see if that’s even possible, because I literally just got my creative juices going after a month of hanging out. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>It’s obviously early days, but is there anything you can say about the direction you want to go in?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I want to come up with a new sound, a new approach to the way I make beats. [I want] to get back to my roots and to how I made music when I was young. It’s kind of like a time machine. I’m going back in the day, to show what I’ve learned to my younger self. It kind of feels that way.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>It’s funny because I was listening to your debut album <em>99.9%</em> recently and wondering if you ever listen to that album, which came out ten years ago, and hear things you’d do differently now.</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	100%. I would say 99.9% of that album I would do differently. <em>[laughs]</em> I’m not like, looking back and having regrets, it’s just that I would have different approaches in terms of the beats I made. <em>99.9% </em>was an album I’d been working on for like four years prior to 2016, so a lot of beats were made for other things. A lot of projects morphed into what is <em>99.9%</em>. I was just over working on that project, and it was 99.9% done, so that was the meaning of the title.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Simultaneously though, that album is considered a new classic. People have mentioned that it’s one of the albums that got them into making dance music. Do you feel the influence of <em>99% </em>across the scene?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yeah, I do. This is one of the albums where I was the most free, because it was really no rules. There’s not only dance music on it, there’s a lot of electronic elements. We have <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/badbadnotgood/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/badbadnotgood/">BadBadNotGood</a> on the album, and most of the features were hip-hop and R&B artists. I was inspired by MSTRKRFT’s [<em>Fist Of God</em>] album, where the only features they had were R&B and rappers, but they really kept it electronic and did not put any hip-hop elements in the production. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How did you make that approach your own?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	My approach was like, “How about I do whatever they’re doing, but in a hip-hop and R&B filter way.” That was the main inspiration of that album, or even of my journey into making electronic music. I don’t think there were a lot of people doing that, so I embraced that fully. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For some reason, I’m the pioneer of what that became… some people call it the Kaytranada sound, which is funny, because I was just inspired by what was going on in electronic scene and fusing it with hip-hop, R&B and boogie music, like disco. That was the influence. For that to be called “the Kaytranada sound” is still funny to me. I don’t know if it’s [my] humbleness or whatever, but it’s not something I fully embrace, because I was inspired by so many things.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Does being told you have a signature sound then make you want to move on to something else and to reinvent, because obviously <em>Ain’t No Damn Way!</em> sounds really different from that first album. Are you constantly trying to push and evolve?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There’s the saying that a lot of the production I make for other artists, people want the classic Kaytranada sound, and I end up doing the classic Kaytranada sound, but it turns into like, “Oh, he’s ending up sounding the same.” So then I was like, “Ain’t no damn way!” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That [new] album is a collection of beats I had stashed, and also some new ones. “Space Invader” was definitely a new production, but half of the album is a lot of instrumentals that have been sitting around since like, the <em>99.9%</em> and <em>Bubba</em> and <em>Timeless </em>eras. It was a lot of instrumentals that were meant to be on previous projects, and I just tweaked them a bit and made it become a compilation, because part of me wanted to showcase my beats. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Why?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m very inspired by beat tapes. Daily I listen to <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/j-dilla/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/j-dilla/">J Dilla</a> beat tapes, <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/madlib/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/madlib/">Madlib</a> beat tapes, Black Milk beat tapes. Those producers, who are mainly hip-hop producers, are my inspiration. Even the producer Knowledge has dropped a couple house tapes on his Bandcamp, and that was also an inspiration to the project. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You’ve gotten 10 Grammy nominations and two wins since 2021. When you release an album now, is it a given for you that it will get nominated? Is that something you consider during the creation process?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m really not trying to think about it while I’m making an album. Every album since <em>Bubba </em>I’ve been nominated… Of course, you get inspired and think like, “Okay, maybe I could win this again.” I am not going to pretend like this has not been an influence during my creation of music. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But I never really thought I was going to even get Grammy nominated. That wasn’t my goal in the beginning. It’s still the craziest thing. I won two Grammys for <em>Bubba</em>, and I think that transcends to like, “Okay, I always took my music seriously, but [this makes it] more serious than ever.” I believed in myself a little bit more when I won. Especially moving to L.A. and seeing things differently than when I was making <em>Bubba</em> in Montreal and just going to L.A. a couple times a year. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How do you see things differently being here in L.A.?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I think it’s my importance. In Montreal, I get that I’m probably one of the most famous musicians, but it depends on what circles you’re in when you go out. When you go to L.A., you’re around your peers. You’re not the most famous person. I feel more comfortable when I go out in Los Angeles, or even when I’m working with somebody else. To me, the humility and the humbleness just shines more when I’m in L.A., and when people show love, it’s more respect in a less freaky way than compared to Montreal.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Then also moving to L.A., it made my profession as a musician more believable. When I was in Montreal, it felt more like fun, a hobby. It felt like street ball, and then for some odd reason I got drafted to the NBA.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You did a big Grammy party this year with PinkPantheress and Patron. How was it?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When you lose a Grammy, you’re not sure if you still want to do the party… But I think people enjoy my parties, so I kept the tradition going. A lot of amazing people showed up. I was shocked with all the people who came. I’m always shook. To have Patron taking care of us as well, it was everything I needed and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How much Patron was consumed throughout the evening?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m not sure. I make sure I don’t get too f–ked up, but I’ll take a shot to celebrate. I was really celebrating the fact that I was still a 10-time nominee and two-time winner. Even when I put out <em>Ain’t No Damn Way</em>, Patron took care of that and gave me customized bottles. To me, I see Patron at a party and I’m like, “Okay, we’re celebrating for real.” I see the bottle and know it’s going be a good time.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You went on <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/justice-kaytranada-tour-dates-2025-1236023782/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/justice-kaytranada-tour-dates-2025-1236023782/">a major co-headlining tour with Justice</a> at the end of 2025. How did that come about?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m a huge fan of the Ed Banger label, of [its founder] Busy P, of Justice, so to do that tour was such a big honor. It was inspired by a show we did in Paris [in June 2024] that was more of a party outside during <em>Fête de la Musique</em>. That was an amazing night and an amazing show, and people are still talking about it. That inspired the tour. The agencies were going back and forth, and I got the offer and was like, “Sure, I’ll be down to do it.” It’s was a milestone in my life to tour with them, because they are one of my gods.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What was it like being on the road with them? Did you guys hang out?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I would say we’re both kind of shy, and we don’t talk much, so it was more like humbleness and respect. When we’d cross each other in the hallways, it was always like, “Shake hands, how you doing? Good, good.” and then we move on. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But the Justice crew, they’re party animals. So after every show one of them had this portable DJ [setup] and they did afterparties with the big crew. It was always a party, from what I heard. I did a couple of those and Gaspard was there. He was more around and more partying while I was DJing. That’s where we got bonded a little bit. Xavier is more lowkey. It was really cool, man.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Obviously that tour happened in arenas, which you’ve toured in before and will again in Europe this June. How do you find a way to make venues of that size feel good and comfortable to you?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	[For the Justice tour], my team came up with the idea of the floating [stage in the middle of the room], because I’m not really comfortable in arenas. I think that’s too huge. It was definitely compromising for me, because some arenas are not getting the best sound. But we definitely found a common ground to make it cool and not make it just a DJ set in an arena.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And I always try to make it a party as much as possible. I got very inspired also by watching <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tiesto/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tiesto/">Tiësto</a> back in the early 2000s when he was doing those white parties. He was doing the big stages, big stadiums. There’s not a big difference with that and what I’m doing in terms of how the crowd looks. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You’ve accomplished so much in a relatively short period of time. Do you feel pressure to keep leveling up and topping yourself?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I thought about that for a long time, like “Oh my god, how am I going to do better than before?” But I see the approach as like, this is the game of life. You document what you’ve done for the last few years.  When <em>Timeless</em> came out, I didn’t really feel the same love I had for <em>Bubba</em> or <em>99.9%</em>; it was a different album. I’m very proud of that project, but it was not too electronic; it was definitely more on the R&B side, and there was a constant thinking of “Oh my god, this record did not top <em>Bubba</em>.” But then I was like, “Nah, this is more of a documentation of what I’ve been through.” That’s how I see it.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Say more about that. </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I was listening to <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/prince/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/prince/">Prince</a> a lot, going through his albums. In ’86 he was doing <em>Parade</em>, then <em>Under the Cherry Moon</em>, then <em>Lovesexy</em> and the black album that was canceled. This is all literally just a documentation of what he was going through, and people love him for that. I approach albums and music like that. If you don’t like what I’m doing, there’s the old stuff, and it’s all good. If you want to keep following what I’m doing, go right ahead and get along for the journey. That’s all I’ve got to say.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	2026 promises to bring an electrifying lineup of live music experiences for country, Americana and bluegrass artists and fans, as a slate of music festivals roll out lineups featuring chart-topping headliners, rising artists and established music luminaries.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Throughout the year, various festivals will bring artists and fans together in different locales, from desert settings, urban centers and rural camping areas. They will offer much more than just music. Attendees at various fests can expect possible immersive experiences including gourmet food offerings, top-shelf beverages, cooking demonstrations, artisan markets, dancefloors, honkytonks, dedicated family zones for attendees of all ages and onsite camping.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So far this year, a few country fests — such as Country Jam Colorado, The Watershed Festival and The Fairwell Festival — have shuttered or paused for 2026. But many others are going strong, including major players such as CMA Fest, Stagecoach Country Music Festival, and the Country Thunder series of festivals. While such mainstream country fests will highlight a range of sounds from rock and hip-hop influenced country to ’90s-country shaded styles, venerable bluegrass fests such as MerleFest and DelFest will highlight the best in bluegrass’ high lonesome sound and ace pickers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This non-comprehensive list looks at many of the top country music, Americana and bluegrass music festivals slated for 2026, both in the U.S. and beyond, as fans gear up for a year of soaking in music and enjoying the festival community. Whether fans plan to make a summer road trip to a fest, or spend the week camping on a festival’s grounds, they are sure to find a festival that will fit their musical tastes, making for some memorable moments.<br></p>

	The<em> Supacell </em>actor drove under the influence of alcohol and struck Tamang on Oct. 18 in North East London and fled the scene to head home. Tamang died as a result of his injuries two days later. Ghetts, who was arrested on Oct. 19, was also speeding, as surveillance cameras found his BMW X5 traveling over 60 mph in a 30 mph zone.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Justin Clarke-Samuel knew he was in no fit state to drive and there was clear evidence of his excessive speed and disregard for road users as he drove incredibly dangerously across our city,” said Crown Prosecution Service’s Shani Taggart. “We built a comprehensive case against Clarke-Samuel, focusing on CCTV footage, toxicology, and analysis of his mobile data to pinpoint his route through London.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The district crown prosecutor continued: “After presenting this evidence, we secured guilty pleas to these two charges and today’s sentence will see Clarke-Samuel face the consequences of his fatal decision to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking. Our thoughts remain with Yubin Tamang’s family today as they grieve the loss of their only child, and with his loved ones who have to navigate a life without him.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ghetts had just started shooting season 2 of <em>Supacell</em> when the fatal hit-and-run took place in October. According to <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://deadline.com/2026/03/supacell-actor-ghetts-jailed-fatal-hit-and-run-1236742377/">Deadline</a></em>, filming didn’t finish.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the music side, Ghetts’ last album arrived in 2024 with <em>On Purpose, With Purpose</em>, which featured Sampha, Lancey Foux and Dexta Daps. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There was a time when Disney Channel just couldn’t seem to stop churning out superstars, with Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/demi-lovato/">Demi Lovato</a> all finding crossover fame with the network in quick succession back in the late 2000s/early 2010s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But with that continued success came frequent comparisons between the leading ladies, with the public pitting them against each other at a time when all three were just teenagers — and in an interview with Keke Palmer posted Tuesday (March 3), the <em>Camp Rock </em>alum opened up about how she dealt with it all.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It was challenging when, you know, people are comparing you to one another, and you naturally have insecurities at a young age,” Lovato recalled on <em>Baby, This Is Keke Palmer</em> after the podcast host brought up Cyrus and Gomez. “So you start comparing yourself to other people.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“But one thing my mom instilled in me was, ‘There’s room for everyone. It’s not a competition,'” the vocalist continued. “That’s what I really stuck by. That’s what kind of got me through that period. I was always rooting for everybody.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shortly after <em>Hannah Montana </em>and <em>Wizards of Waverly Place </em>launched Cyrus and Gomez, respectively, into the public eye, <em>Sonny With a Chance </em>and the <em>Camp Rock </em>film franchise did the same for Lovato. Lovato has been open about having struggled with addiction, mental health and eating disorders around that time, something they also discussed with Palmer.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After Disney, all three of those women pursued careers as pop stars, leading to more comparisons — but, as Lovato said, there’s room for everybody. Cyrus and Gomez have both scored No. 1 hits on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a>, while Lovato has notched 36 songs on the chart in addition to 10 entries on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a>. Most recently, her 2025 album <em>It’s Not That Deep </em>debuted on the chart at No. 9. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But while Gomez and Lovato have had their <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/timeline-demi-lovato-selena-gomez-friendship-8014026/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bumps in the road</a>, the latter credits the former with helping her transition into working for Disney Channel. “What was beautiful was Selena and I had a friendship prior,” they said, noting how the pair first met on <em>Barney & Friends</em>. “I felt this safety when I came into the Disney Channel, having a built-in friendship there already. I’ll always be grateful for the friendship I have and continue to have with her.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s a rare enough in 2026 to get a solo unaccompanied country woman artist at No. 1 on either the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100">Billboard Hot 100</a> <em>or</em> the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200">Billboard 200</a> albums chart — but to get both, and during the same week? That’s downright unprecedented. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This week, on the <em>Billboard</em> charts dated Mar. 7, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/megan-moroney">Megan Moroney</a>‘s <em>Cloud 9</em> debuts atop the Billboard 200 — her first time topping the listing — while <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ella-langley">Ella Langley</a>‘s “Choosin’ Texas” returns to No. 1 for the second week, after vacating the top spot last week for a post-Super Bowl Bad Bunny’s “DtMF.” It marks <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/megan-moroney-ella-langley-billboard-200-hot-100-country-1236189824/">the first time </a>country women have ruled both charts simultaneously, and just the fifth time two country artists of any gender have doubled up on top. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	How historic an accomplishment is this? And are there are other country women who might be following either artist to either top spot in the near future? <em>Billboard</em> staffers answer these questions and more below.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>1. For the first time in <em>Billboard</em> history, country women artists top the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, with Megan Moroney’s <em>Cloud 9 </em>debuting atop the former and Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” returning to the top of the latter (for the second week total). On a scale from 1-10, how historic a chart occasion would you say this is?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Katie Atkinson:</strong> 10! First of all, this has never happened, and I’m sure we’re all thinking of some blockbuster country stars we assume might have already accomplished this (Dolly, Shania, Taylor, just to name a few). Then there are the (<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fpro%2Fcountry-radio-plays-women-artists-back-to-back-1-percent%2F&data=05%7C02%7Candrew.unterberger%40billboard.com%7C58f7ef10b1994c5c82ce08de78d603e0%7Ce950f25546e44144a778a6ff4f557492%7C0%7C0%7C639081057741916338%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Qkk6Rvp2pCQaPox55kkPagaPdojDEwyO%2FrDIiYv7GJA%3D&reserved=0">very recent</a>) studies about country radio favoring male artists over women, which has set up a tough environment for new female stars to break through. So now, to have two relatively new country women artists find this kind of major success at the same time, it speaks to a changing landscape that is long overdue.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: 10, for sure, considering that the Billboard 200 launched in 1956 and the Hot 100 in 1958. That’s a long time to wait for a moment like this.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Melinda Newman</strong>: 10, simply because it has never happened before in the decades-long history of the charts. While it’s cause for celebration, it’s also a cause for reflection and, quite frankly, dismay that it took nearly 70 years for the stars (both the human and celestial kind) to align this way for women artists. Of course, these things are are also ruled by such circumstances as  release schedules and other factors that add in an element of chance (for example, if Moroney had released her album this Friday  when Harry Styles will, we would likely not be heralding this moment), but, hopefully, it’s not decades before it happens again.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Nicholson</strong>: 9. For decades, women country artists have fought and struggled for more representation at radio, on tours, on festival performance slots. So, for two women to each have a solo hit (song/album) topping those respective charts at the same time is a significant, powerful statement that fans are connecting with — and want to hear more of — these artists’ music.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: Anytime you get to say “first time” without qualifications about charts that have been around for over 60 years, it’s probably a 10. But certainly here, after a streaming breakthrough period for country where it has felt like all the biggest beneficiaries have been men, to get two women at the absolute top of the pops at the same time like this — it’s hard to overestimate how big a deal this is. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>2. Megan Moroney’s previous peak on the Billboard 200 was No. 9, reached with 2024’s <em>Am I Okay? </em>album<em>. </em>What do you think is the biggest reason she was able to level all the way up to No. 1 — with a decisively chart-topping 147,000 first-week units — this time around?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Katie Atkinson:</strong> Have to give it to the album sales here, seeing as it’s her best sales week ever. Labels can make as many vinyl and CD variants available as they want, but fans have to actually buy them – and 78,000 units is a big number, meaning Moroney has built up a sizeable fanbase in the two years since <em>Am I Okay?</em> She also built up some major buzz coming in with four pre-release singles, all of which reached the top 40 of the Hot Country Songs chart. The one thing Moroney has yet to cross off her list (but can’t be too far away): her first No. 1 hit on either Hot Country Songs or Country Airplay, where she has three top 10 hits apiece but no chart-toppers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: I think two of Megan’s biggest strengths are consistency and patience. I love <em>Am I Okay</em>? and in my book, musically and creatively speaking, it’s just as deserving as the chart’s top spot. But I think it was an important stepping stone for Moroney to now reach the summit. Her debut album, <em>Lucky</em>, gave us the country smash “Tennessee Orange,” which became her first top 10 entry on Hot Country Songs. Then, <em>Am I Okay? </em>became her first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200. She’s always had an incredibly strong fan base, and looking back on her chart presence, it’s clear that it’s been building just as steadily. And with <em>Cloud 9</em> she was able to hit that next level, which just so happens to be the highest one there is.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Melinda Newman</strong>: Her fame has risen exponentially since <em>Am I Okay </em> through building her awareness and brand. Country radio has embraced singles like the title track and “6 Months Later.” But most importantly, she’s worked hard. Her concerts draw an incredibly fervent mainly female fanbase that include mothers and daughters who exhibit the kind of zeal that Taylor Swift fans displayed during her early years (and, of course, still do). She has also smartly kept herself in the public eye with her “9 Cities, 9 Days” whistle-stop tour that got her in front of fans both in person and online around the week of release to spread the word, as well as indulging in some fun gossip and speculation that keeps her name in the news. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Nicholson</strong>: In every area of her career, Megan has continued to leveled up since the release of <em>Am I Okay?</em> She’s gone from clubs to arenas, she’s masterfully utilized social media and visuals to create a recognizable brand, and her music has continued to grow in depth and nuance. She’s created music that a generation of young fans can relate to who are also navigating love, heartbreak, life and friendship.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: She’s really built a brand over the past few years that’s practically unrivaled in country music right now — one that really bears a lot more of the influence of pop stars like Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter than any particularly obvious country predecessors — which has helped her really build on her success from song to song, project to project. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>3. Langley’s <em>Dandelion</em> album is due in a little over a month — do you expect it to follow <em>Cloud 9</em> to No. 1 on the Billboard 200?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Katie Atkinson:</strong> As of now, Ella has the only major release on April 10, so I wouldn’t be too surprised. But, looking at March, she could face some competition from lingering earlier releases, like BTS’ comeback album <em>Arirang </em>on March 20 or Harry Styles’ <em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally</em> on March 6. So far, Styles has only spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200 (with <em>Harry’s House</em> and <em>Fine Line</em>), while all six of BTS’ No. 1 albums only had a single week up top – but both acts have reached new stratospheres of fame in the years since, so all bets are off. Given all that, I think I’m going to bet on Ella and say she follows in Megan’s footsteps to No. 1.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: I genuinely think it could. Much like Moroney’s rollout and release — <em>Cloud 9</em> added 10 Hot 100 entries to her total, which is now 15 — Langley is off to arguably an even stronger start, considering the sustained chart-topping power of “Choosin’ Texas.” Plus, the two other already-released <em>Dandelion </em>singles, “Dandelion” and “Be Her,” have charted at Nos. 46 and 16, respectively. So yes, it does seem to me like a Billboard 200 chart-topping debut is within reach for Langley.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Melinda Newman</strong>: Yes. Langley looks unstoppable at this point, though these situations are always reliant on luck as well and it depends upon who is else coming out On April 10. As of now, it doesn’t look like she has any major competitors also releasing sets that day, so it looks good for her unless Harry Styles or BTS are still claiming the top spot a few weeks after their March release dates. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Nicholson</strong>: “Choosin’ Texas” has been a massive hit for Ella, exposing more fans to her music, and she’s set to launch her first arena headlining tour in May. Albums of country music and country-influenced music from Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan, Beyonce, Post Malone have topped the all-genre Billboard 200 chart over the past few years, and Megan Moroney is now topping that chart, so music fans seem primed to consume Ella’s album in a way that could very well see it reach No. 1.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: Almost certainly. Maybe something we don’t know is coming yet gets in her way, but I really expect this album to be one of the year’s biggest debuts — at least among artists who haven’t already done big business on the Billboard 200 — so it’s gonna take a pretty major project to get in her way.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>4. The historic double-No. 1 for country women comes during a time that has otherwise been relatively inhospitable to women artists at the top tiers of country stardom. Do you think this is a sign of legitimate change to come, or more a matter of two exceptional artists hitting new peaks at the same time?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Katie Atkinson:</strong> I think it could be a little bit of both. There’s no question that Moroney and Langley are outliers in country right now, but we can also hope Nashville takes the hint and goes hunting for the next Ella or Megan hustling on the fringes right now. I’m encouraged that someone making classic-sounding country music like Langley, not unlike Kacey Musgraves did when she first came out, could be instantly embraced by the establishment and maybe effect change from within instead of from the outside looking in.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: I think it can be both. My favorite part of the music industry is that genuinely good music always wins out, it always finds its way — especially when the hours have been logged — and I think that’s what we’re seeing with Megan and Ella right now. These are not artists who are experiencing overnight virality and playing catch up — they’ve been ready and are now enjoying the benefits of years of hard work, so I do think the fact that they are deserving, exceptional artists is playing a large part in this historic moment. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At the same time, I think the beauty of a historic moment is that it opens the gates — it’s been done, there’s momentum and interest and attention, all of which <em>can </em>make it possible to sustain. There’s no shortage of incredible women artists in country — I have an eye on Carter Faith and Willow Avalon this year, in particular — and so I choose to believe this success from Ella and Megan is indeed a sign of change to come. It’s cliche, but true for many (especially women), that seeing really is believing. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Melinda Newman</strong>: More of the latter, though canny radio programmers will hopefully take notice and take some more chances.  Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is the only song by a woman in the top 15 on this week’s Country Airplay chart (Moroney is at No. 18 and Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton are at No. 20). More and more non-country stations are playing Langley each week with a song that is pretty country sounding, so that’s an encouraging sign that pop-leaning stations are willing to step out on Langley and maybe would on other country women. With streaming for country artists continuing to rise after lagging behind other genres for years, it’s an opportunity for women artists to climb up the multi-metric charts that way.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Nicholson</strong>: As momentous and well-deserved as this achievement is for both Ella and Megan, there is still a long way to go in seeing even more women artists have success in the genre.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: To have two women impacting so massively at the same time is a big enough deal that it almost has to be meaningful about some larger trends in effect — but it’d still be foolish to assume that this is anywhere near Mission Accomplished for equity in country music. We’ll know things are really moving in the right direction when we get some more female artists in country who aren’t massive potential crossover stars, but just who have a decent level of success with every new release without having to prove themselves with every new song, like men have been able to do by the dozen at pretty much any point in recent country history. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>5. Is there another woman in country who you could see potentially hitting No. 1 on the BB200 or Hot 100 for the first time in the not-too-distant future? If so, who?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Katie Atkinson:</strong> I’m really excited about Tiffany Stringer, who got signed by Atlantic Records and released her new single “Bullet” in January. The song is giving me ’90s pop-country vibes and immediately got lodged in my head. Pick this up, country radio!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: I’m rooting for Carter Faith. She released her debut album, <em>Cherry Valley</em>, in October and it housed the incredible single “If I Had Never Lost My Mind…” She was just announced as part of The Grand Ole Opry’s 2026 NextStage class (along with Willow Avalon), she just made her late night TV debut on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon </em>(performing “If I”) and she’s heading out on tour with Post Malone and Jelly Roll this year. I can totally see “If I” gaining a second wind this year, and the gust may just be strong enough to carry it to the top of the chart.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Melinda Newman</strong>: Lainey Wilson. She broke through a few years before Moroney and Langley, but her crossover appeal is still building. She’s moving more into  mainstream movie roles which should build her awareness outside of country circles.  She just needs the right song— perhaps a duet with a non-country artist (Langley benefitted greatly from her collab with BigXThaPlug)— to propel her to the top of the all-genre Hot 100. Her 2022 album <em>Bell Bottom Country </em>peaked at No. 51 on the Top 200, but 2024’s <em>Whirlwind </em>climbed all the way to No. 8, so she doesn’t have that far to go with an album release as well. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Nicholson</strong>: Lainey Wilson has earned several accolades in her career, including multiple ACM and CMA entertainer of the year wins, a Grammy win for best country album (<em>Bell Bottom Country</em>), is headlining tours and has served as the host of the CMA Awards. As a modern-yet-traditional leaning country sound has gained ground, it seems that Lainey has immense potential to add an all-genre No. 1 to her arsenal of accolades.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: There isn’t really one, and that’s sort of the problem: Once you get past Langley and Moroney, it’s a pretty huge drop off to the third-biggest female crossover star in country right now. Yes, Lainey Wilson is a star and a touring regular and could in theory top the Billboard 200 in the right week sometime, but her momentum seems to be taking her more to being a veteran country fixture than someone who’s readying to take the leap into pop mega-success — and beyond her, it’s tough to even say who else should definitely be in the discussion. Carter Faith seems to have a high ceiling, and I’d love to see Kassi Ashton get a big look sometime, but neither of them have yet reached either of these charts, let alone topped them. Have to hope the success of Langley and Moroney opens some more doors for these women, but they’ve got a long way to go to be on that level themselves. </p>

	There’s really nothing better than cozying up after a long, stressful day with a good book.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Are you into thrillers? How about a spicy romance to get you going? What about a horror that’ll get your blood pumping in a different way? We personally love <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/charli-xcx-icon-of-style-fashion-book-shop-online-1236156959/">music-themed reads</a>. No matter what genre you love, reading books can be a therapeutic way to unwind and de-stress. Getting lost in a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2026-audie-awards-nominees-cher-tina-knowles-audiobooks-1236166123/">book</a> is a sacred time for many. Letting yourself get immersed in a story, envisioning a world unlike your own, it’s all powerful stuff.</p>

A bed pillow, like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1MW8D6S?tag=billboard0ad-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_US&asc_source=feed&asc_campaign=feed&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fbest-gifts-for-book-lovers-1236190704%2F" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">this one from Amazon</a>, allows readers the ability to sit upright with support and cushion on their neck and back as they read. I can often be found craning over a good book, so my posture isn’t the best, but this pillow would certainly help. If you don’t read in your bed, you can also set the pillow up on an office chair or sofa for extra support anywhere you sit to read. This pillow also has a built-in side storage pocket to store your phone, charges for a tablet or a remote.</p>

I should probably go to the bar,” indicating that the time is now 4:57p.m. In short, this clock is an innovative and playful way to keep readers punctual.</p>

Cardigans like this one from <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JRLLPXArni8&mid=43177&u1=BB&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.freepeople.com%2Fshop%2Fwe-the-free-cute-in-this-cardi%2F%3Fcolor%3D030%26countryCode%3DUS%26g_acctid%3D925-773-0063%26g_adgroupid%3D%26g_adid%3D%26g_adtype%3Dnone%26g_campaign%3DPLAsUS-SmartShoppingPMAXUS-PerformanceMax-Priority%26g_campaignid%3D18784532312%26g_keyword%3D%26g_keywordid%3D%26g_network%3Dx%26gad_campaignid%3D18777975543%26gad_source%3D1%26gbraid%3D0AAAAADmlMfmIyRp3Yg-3Sd-aX1xkAkasf%26gclid%3DCjwKCAiAqprNBhB6EiwAMe3yhrQWhuhjfW-C8u9kErm57fiCSDc5Fp4Yzzvi1F4xwWK0___Rb80QqhoClyUQAvD_BwE%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26inventoryCountry%3DUS%26utm_kxconfid%3Dvx6ro62gj" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Free People</a> are like being wrapped up in a blanket, but with sleeves and pockets. This cardigan comes in a cute forest green hue and has rustic-looking snap closures. If the green isn’t your thing, this cardigan comes in a slew of colors and a good range of size to fit most body types from XS to XL. With some cozy sweats, we’d like to think that this cardigan could be a part of the perfect book-reading attire.</p>

	“I was recommended by someone to listen to that song,” Liu says. “Then I found a 16-minute suite version, and it took it to another level.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Take it to another level, it did: Liu’s freestyle skate to Summer’s song brought her from third place in the competition to the gold in women’s individual figure skating. On top of winning with the track, Liu also helped boost it to the top of the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/donna-summer-macarthur-park-tops-dance-chart-alysa-liu-1236190763/"><em>Billboard</em>’s Dance Digital Song Sales chart</a>, giving Summer her fourth posthumous No. 1.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“MacArthur Park” isn’t the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/alysa-liu-olympics-pinkpantheress-stateside-trending-up-1236186611/">only track</a> Liu’s skating helped chart: “Stateside” by PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson saw an 88% increase in streams the day after Liu used it for her closing gala performance. Meanwhile, Laufey’s “Promise” scored 1.3 million streams in the four days after Liu skated to it for her short program set.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cohen and Liu continued the music conversation, with the skater sharing the top five songs she hopes to skate to next. The runner-ups were “Fire in My Heart” by Escape From New York, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/billie-eilish/">Billie Eilish</a>‘s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> No. 12 hit “Chihiro,” Tchaikovsky’s classic “Swan Lake,” and “Star” by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/mitski/">Mitski</a>. Liu’s top choice was “Capable of Love,” another PinkPantheress track.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Liu then excitedly shared with Cohen that she heard from PinkPantheress after her “Stateside” performance saying, “She’s so nice.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Liu famously returned to competitive skating this year after stepping away from the sport at 16 years old in 2022. When she decided to make her comeback, she gave her coach a <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alysa-liu-return-to-figure-skating-60-minutes/">list of conditions</a> that must be met for her return. One of them was that she gets to choose her own music. It won’t be a surprise if we hear a few more PinkPantheress tracks at the 2030 Winter Olympics.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The song previews Langley’s sophomore album, <em>Dandelion</em>, set to release April 10 on SAWGOD/Columbia Records. “Choosin’ Texas” is Langley’s first song to top the all-genre Hot 100, after she previously saw her song “Weren’t for the Wind” climb into the chart’s top 20.</p>

	The single is the latest to scale the pinnacle of both the Hot 100 and the Hot Country Songs charts, following <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/morgan-wallen/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/morgan-wallen/">Morgan Wallen</a>‘s hits “What I Want” (featuring Tate McRae), which topped both charts in May 2025, and “Love Somebody,” which led both tallies in November 2024. In May of that same year, Wallen’s Post Malone collaboration “I Had Some Help” launched at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and the Hot Country Songs chart. That year also saw Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/beyonce/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/beyonce/">Beyoncé</a>’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” top both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts. 2023 also saw four songs reach the peak of both charts, marking the most songs to top both charts since 1975-76, when six songs doubled up.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Below, we look at each mass-appeal hit that has crowned both the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs (from 1958, when the Hot 100 originated and Hot Country Songs became the country genre’s all-encompassing songs chart, through the lists dated March 7, 2026).</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Marshall has announced an initiative to support independent music venues worldwide. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Monday (March 2), the audio and technology company launched a new membership program, Amplify, with the long-term goal of creating a more sustainable music industry. Through Amplify, Marshall commits an amount equal to 1% of member purchases on marshall.com to support local music communities, starting with independent venues.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Amplify is free to join via marshall.com and offers members benefits including early access to products, free shipping and priority support. Every eligible member purchase made through marshall.com will go toward the initiative.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“For over 60 years, Marshall amplified live music, from local independent venues to the world’s biggest stages,” said Marshall CEO <strong>Jeremy de Maillard</strong> in a statement. “Small venues are where the next generation of musicians turn first time listeners into lifelong fans. Through Amplify, Marshall is building a long-term model to support the future of live music.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Amplify initiative will initially focus on independent venues globally that are selected “for their role in supporting emerging artists and local music communities,” according to a press release. Support can come in the form of backline equipment, funded live events and longer-term partnerships.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It is a real pleasure to work with a brand that truly respects our DNA and places full trust in us when it comes to both the actions we lead and the programming we curate,” said <strong>Cecilia Sparano</strong>, communication director at independent Paris rock venue Supersonic, in a statement. “This partnership represents genuine support for the fragile economy of small concert venues, and it plays a key role in allowing festivals such as Supersonic’s Block Party and They’re Gonna Be Big to continue to exist.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Amplify initiative is now live. Head <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://marshall.com/amplify" data-type="link" href="https://marshall.com/amplify" target="_blank">here </a>for more information.</p>

	Together, the mother-daughter duo did a very special Cameo-oke, a segment where the show’s guests cover a song without Kelly present. Both Broadway superfans, P!nk and Willow performed a beautiful rendition of “Hopeless War” from the 2024 Tony Award winner for best musical <em>The Outsiders</em>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Keeping with the Broadway theme, P!nk and Willow also invited <em>Glee</em> and <em>Maybe Happy Ending</em> star Darren Criss and Grammy-winning Broadway legend Shoshana Bean to the show. Together, the group of four played a Broadway trivia game called “I Have to Know If You Know This Show!” It was mother vs. daughter, as Bean and Willow partnered up against Criss and P!nk and answered questions about shows like <em>Grease</em>, <em>Wicked</em> and <em>Hadestown</em>. Although Criss and P!nk put up a good fight, they ultimately lost to Willow and Bean.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Cameo-oke performance with her daughter was not the only duet P!nk performed on Monday’s episode: After interviewing Bean about her new album <em>Only Smoke</em>, P!nk joined the Broadway star for a performance of her single “<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DVZZYPODoWn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Let Me Believe.</a>“</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	P!nk’s time on <em>The Kelly Clarkson Show </em>comes a month after Clarkson announced that the series would be ending after seven seasons. Despite rumors that P!nk would permanently take over the show, the “Raise Your Glass” singer shared in a now-deleted <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DVUGdMEgvTP/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram video </a>that her stint on the show is a temporary thing and that hosting a talk show full-time is not something she has time for in her “busy, busy, busy world.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The next episode of <em>The Kelly Clarkson Show</em>, also hosted by P!nk, will feature special guests Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and Chloe Kim, airing Tuesday on NBC.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/justin-timberlake/">Justin Timberlake</a> is seeking a legal injunction to prevent a Hamptons police department from releasing officer bodycam footage from his DWI arrest two years ago.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The lawsuit, filed in a Long Island branch of New York state court on Monday (March 2), asks a judge to maintain the confidentiality of Sag Harbor Village Police Department footage from Timberlake’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/business/legal/justin-timberlake-arrested-dwi-1235712286/">June 2024 arrest</a> on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The singer ultimately <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/justin-timberlake-pleads-guilty-impaired-driving-1235775059/">pled guilty</a> to a lesser impaired driving charge and was sentenced to 25 hours of community service.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to court papers, Sag Harbor police have been planning to grant an unnamed media outlet’s public records request and hand over eight hours of bodycam video from that night, including footage of Timberlake completing a field sobriety test and sitting in custody for the next several hours. His lawyers say this would be an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The footage at issue depicts petitioner in an acutely vulnerable state during a roadside encounter with law enforcement, capturing intimate details of petitioner’s physical appearance, demeanor, speech and conduct,” reads the petition. “Public dissemination of this footage would cause severe and irreparable harm to petitioner’s personal and professional reputation, subject petitioner to public ridicule and harassment, and serve no legitimate public interest in understanding the operations of government.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While the police allegedly plan to redact certain parts of this footage, Timberlake’s lawyers claim to still be in the dark about what exactly will be made public. They want an immediate injunction blocking the release, or at least allowing them a chance to weigh in on redactions first.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Once the footage is released to the requestor(s) and disseminated online or through media, the disclosure cannot be undone,” the petition says. “Digital copies can be replicated indefinitely, beyond the court’s ability to retrieve or control, rendering any subsequent relief inadequate.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A lawyer representing the Village of Sag Harbor, <strong>Vincent Toomey</strong>, said in a statement to <em>Billboard </em>that the municipality received a request for the video footage under New York’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) and “had indicated its intention to comply with the FOIL request by releasing some of the footage, with certain redactions, based upon personal privacy and law enforcement interference exemptions.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Toomey said an initial court conference was held in the case on Monday afternoon before Judge Joseph Farneti, who held off on issuing any formal orders for the time being.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reps for Timberlake did not immediately return a request for comment.</p>

While his bandmates got things like an octopus and Lady Liberty smoking a cigarette, MGK got “SAGA” tattooed on his right hand in bold capital letters.</p>

	The new ink comes ahead of Saga Blade’s 1st birthday later this month. mgk and Fox welcomed their baby girl on March 27 of last year, just four months after the duo <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/machine-gun-kelly-megan-fox-relationship-timeline/">called off</a> their two-year engagement and officially ended their four-year on-again-off-again relationship.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Though Saga is Fox and mgk’s first child together, the two both have children from past relationships. Fox has three sons — Noah, Bodhi and Journey — with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Meanwhile, MGK has a 16-year-old daughter, Casie, with his ex Emma Cannon. Although they are no longer together, Fox and mgk <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb6vkdzwfAg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">have expressed</a> that they dedicated to co-parenting their daughter. During a break in between legs of his Lost Americana tour in January, the musician shared a recap video to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DT_K7zSEonb/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> featuring a clip of his two daughters playing together.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As of a Feb. 15 stop in Italy, MGK is back on the Lost Americana Tour. He plays his next show on Tuesday (March 3) at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome before continuing across Europe and the U.S. through the summer, and concluding at the Summer Sonic musical festival in Tokyo.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kesha/">Kesha</a> is slamming President Trump for unauthorized use of her song “Blow” in a TikTok posted to the White House’s account last month.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a Monday (March 2) Instagram Story and X post, Kesha accuses the administration of using her song to “incite violence and threaten war.” She goes on to say that she does not approve of her music “being used to promote violence of any kind” and that this is “the opposite of what I stand for.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kesha’s post concludes by calling Trump a “criminal predator” and saying that this should not distract us from Trump being named in the Epstein Files more than a million times. (According to <em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/us/trump-epstein-files.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The New York Times</a></em>, there were 38,000 mentions of Trump’s name in the public documents released in January related to late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.)</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kesha is just the latest in a list of artists who have called out the White House and the Trump administration for unauthorized use of their music in promotional videos, social media posts and rallies.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In December, the White House quietly <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/white-house-deletes-ice-video-sabrina-carpenter-backlash-1236130000/">deleted an ICE video</a> shared to X featuring Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Juno” after the pop star responded calling the video “evil and disgusting.” Carpenter then said to the administration to not involve her or her music “to benefit your inhumane agenda.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">this video is evil and disgusting.

</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This was not the end of the Carpenter-White House saga: Just days later, the White House doubled down with an edited video clipped from the Grammy winner’s <em>Saturday Night Live</em> promo. In the post, Carpenter appears to be saying “I think I might need to arrest someone for being too illegal,” however, the word “illegal” is clearly falsified. In the original promo, Carpenter says to <em>SNL’</em>s Marcello Hernandez that she’s arresting him for being <em>too hot</em>. Much like the ICE footage, the edited video has since been taken down as well.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Other a<a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/musicians-slam-donald-trump-music-campaign/brendon-urie-2/">rtists who have fought back</a> against the Trump administration using their music include <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/olivia-rodrigo-slams-ice-song-use-racist-hateful-propaganda-1236108389/">Olivia Rodrigo</a>, Celine Dion and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/politics/foo-fighters-donald-trump-my-hero-rally-1235760416/">Foo Fighters</a>. SZA also called out the administration for their pattern of using popular music as a distraction, saying, “White House rage baiting artists for free promo is PEAK DARK,” in a December post to X.</p>

	Returning as host, comedian/actor and three-time Image Award winner <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/deon-cole/">Deon Cole</a> helmed the 57th annual NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Friday (Feb. 28). The tightly paced, two-hour ceremony featured no musical performances. Cole, however, skillfully balanced both a topical and cultural tone while keeping the proceedings lively, especially during his opening monologue.</p>

	“Welcome to the NAACP Trump Image Awards,” Cole deadpanned to the audience’s high-spirited laughter. “We had to do that. Yes, he wants his name on everything. I apologize. If we didn’t do that, we’d go to commercial and come back in an episode of <em>Matlock</em>.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After addressing the Epstein files, Cole then implored show officials to “charge me for this curse word” used to spotlight another topical subject during which he was bleeped out. But it wasn’t hard to read his lips: “F—k ICE.” Greeted again by hearty applause, and shoutouts as well as a standing ovation, Cole added, “I don’t want to see no ICE ever again. When I looked at the guest list, I took off Ice Cube, Ice-T, Ice Spice. I don’t want no ice cream. I don’t want no ice in my drink…”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Taking the audience to church next, Cole led a prayer on behalf of several entertainers. Among those he blessed were <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/teyana-taylor/">Teyana Taylor</a> (“Keep her single and away from 6’3” green-eyed men with muscles”), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/50-cent/">50 Cent</a> (“But that pettiness begins our day going fast at work, don’t it?”) and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/nicki-minaj/">Nicki Minaj</a> (“She’s been going through a lot lately. She hasn’t been herself. Lord, I believe whatever’s in her ass is affecting her brain”).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lastly, Cole addressed the recent British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards controversy that erupted when the N-word was shouted out by John Davidson, who suffers from Tourette syndrome, while <em>Sinners </em>stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting an award at that ceremony (Feb. 22). BAFTA, the BBC and Davidson (also a Tourette activist whose life inspired the 2025 film <em>I Swear</em>) subsequently apologized.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Before we go, Lord,” concluded Cole, “if there are any white men out here in the audience with Tourette’s, I advise you to tell them that they better read the room tonight. Lord, it might not go the way they think. Whatever medicine they’re on, they better double up on it. Lord, all these things we ask in Jesus’ name …  let the church say amen.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Moving ahead to the evening’s first award presentation, Cole brought everything full circle. “Let’s have a good time here celebrating everybody’s accomplishments … and we’re going to celebrate being together. Make some noise, y’all. Ain’t nobody better than the next person.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Among other Image Awards highlights was Samuel L. Jackson’s stirring tribute to late civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson. Members of the Jackson family were also in attendance.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Whether you’re introducing your little ones to your favorite artists or trying to keep them occupied on the plane, there’s an increasing number of reasons as to why it’s worth buying headphones for your kids.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While most adults use headphones for<a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-noise-canceling-headphones-2026-shop-online-1236178138/"> listening to music</a> or for <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-celebrity-endorsed-headphones-2026-1236154276/">taking calls at work</a>, the latest children’s headphones often do double duty, as a way for kids to tune into entertainment, but often also working to protect their hearing. Unlike regular headphones, which allow users to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-wired-headphones-1235028804/">turn up the bass</a> — or beats — on full blast, most children’s headphones are tuned at or below 85 decibels, which is considered to be a safe threshold for hearing protection. Even if you’re not playing music through them, the ear muffs themselves can also be used to protect your child’s ears say, if you’re bringing them to a music festival or loud concert.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Children’s headphones are also specifically designed to fit their smaller head shapes and cover their smaller ears, ensuring a more comfortable and secure experience over trying to tighten and adjust a pair of adult headphones on those pint-sized noggins. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perhaps most importantly, the best kids headphones are designed with durability in mind, so they can take those accidental dings and drops without affecting functionality. Note: we’ve rounded up both wired and <em>wireless headphones</em> for kids, the latter of which eliminate the hassle and potential danger of getting tied up in cords and cables. All you need is a Bluetooth connection to begin pairing these headphones to your phone, tablet, computer or TV screen.</p>

	While I don’t have kids, I bought them for my 10-year-old cousin, who now loves using these “mini” headphones for school and watching videos online. The kids headphones feature the same audio tech that Belkin has put into its grown-up products, including crisp sound (with volume limited to 85dB), easy pairing via the Bluetooth 5.3 standard, and up to 30 hours of playback time on a single charge. In a rush? A quick ten-minute charge gets you up to three hours of battery life.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Aside from listening to music and watching content, a built-in microphone lets your kids use these headphones to take video calls with family, or play video games together with friends online.</p>

	This set includes the headphones (in your choice of six colors), charging cables, hard-shell travel case and a sheet of fun and colorful stickers. This is one of the best-reviewed headphones for kids online, with more than 81% of shoppers giving the Belkin SoundForm Mini a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9JG84LZ?_encoding=UTF8&pf_rd_p=3b384b6f-3e1a-4384-bf9e-527aad01ce71&pf_rd_r=HZKAPHY20HG6KNHG3FD9&pd_rd_wg=aIH53&pd_rd_i=B0D9JG84LZ&pd_rd_w=uKV1t&content-id=amzn1.sym.3b384b6f-3e1a-4384-bf9e-527aad01ce71&pd_rd_r=de9fac66-e949-46a8-91e5-faa73bc4e583&th=1&linkCode=ll2&tag=billboard0ad-20&linkId=109429d65e80b9fc97edd5c672dde709&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&asc_source=feed&asc_campaign=feed&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fbest-headphones-for-kids-children-reviews-buy-online-1236180132%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">full five-star review</a>.</p>

	The headphones come with two listening settings: a Safe Mode (at 85dB) and a POP Mode (at 94dB), the latter of which is better for tweens and teens, per the manufacturer.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Bluetooth headphones get up to 19 hours of playtime on a single charge — more than enough for a long flight or road trip. What we like: the cushy earpads are removable and washable, while the durable casing and headband wipe down easily with a damp cloth. The headphones are super lightweight and fold down for easy packing.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This set comes with the PopTime Headphones, USB C charging cable, a cable for wired audio (if you want to plug in), a travel bag and a sheet of stickers. </p>

	A number of our <em>Billboard</em> staffers’ kids use these headphones too, with one editor praising them for being “super cheap and functional.” Amazon has the headphones for under $20 and available in six different colors. In addition to the memory foam-style earpads, the headband is also lightweight and adjustable, ensuring a comfortable fit. Manufacturer Nenos says these are “volume-limited” headphones too, though they don’t specify what decibel level the volume is capped at.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Still, these are an easy pickup, especially when traveling. “I definitely need wired [headphones] since we use them exclusively for airplane seat-back screens,” <em>Billboard</em> editor Katie Atkinson shares. “We’ve had no issues with them so far.”</p>

		Let’s face it: not all kids will want the cheap and colorful headphones, especially if they’re starting to head into junior high and high school. That’s why we like these grown-up looking cans from Puro Sound Labs.	</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Made with real leather earpads and a stainless steel-style band, the JuniorJam headphones offer easy wireless connectivity and up to 22 hours of listening time per charge. And while the kids headphones limit the volume to under 85 decibels, it doesn’t take away from the pristine sound quality, which lets you hear every note, drum beat and whistle in crystal clear form. A bonus: Puro Sound Labs says the earpads help to isolate up to 87% of ambient noise, so kids can immerse themselves in the music — or wear these when they want to tune out and chill out.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This set includes the luxe-looking headphones (available in six colors), drawstring storage bag, charging cables and a “Daisy Chain” sharing cable that lets you pair two headphones to the same device.</p>

	Manufacturer ZOHAN says the headphones have a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 25 decibels, which should be fine for everyday situations (for reference: gun ranges recommend a NRR of 30dB or higher).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Note that these headphones aren’t for playing music but rather to protect hearing. They won’t completely block out noise of course, so kids should still be able to hear their environment and hear music playing around them, only at a safer level for their ears.</p>

	Midway through the performance, a man suddenly rushed the stage and pushed Sombr off the platform. Security quickly apprehended the supposed intruder and escorted him away, while Sombr — clad in a shimmery purple ensemble — returned to the mic and carried on with the show.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Amid the chaos, the glittering backdrop fell away to reveal a full band as Sombr smoothly transitioned into his next number, the chart-topping “Back to Friends,” which <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/sombr-back-to-friends-number-one-pop-airplay-chart-1236167490/">reached No. 1</a> on <em>Billboard</em>’s Pop Airplay chart earlier this year.</p>

	“Why do people push Artists like wtf Poor Sombr,” one person <a href="https://x.com/BigMarsh414094/status/2028011910520856603" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wrote</a> in a comments section of a video posted on X. Another <a href="https://x.com/EngineerOnAuto/status/2027926074407989249" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">added</a>, “Security was a little late on that one…”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Was it planned,” someone else <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/swiftvsx/status/2027924963756327133" target="_blank">asked</a>. One viewer <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/StuartSloane/status/2028183805366857765" target="_blank">wrote</a>, “The way he managed to carry on shows that he’s a true professional. I’d have run!!”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Adding to the confusion, the man who pushed Sombr was wearing a black T-shirt that read, “Sombr Is A Homewrecker,” leaving some to speculate whether it was a publicity stunt to promote the artist’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/sombr-homewrecker-music-video-new-single-1236174362/">new single, “Homewrecker.”</a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“His new song his called homewrecker. very staged. clever way to get headlines tho,” a person <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/ItsMeTerzy/status/2027930416611512518" target="_blank">observed</a> in the comments. Another commended Sombr for clever marketing. “I actually love when artists come up with clever ways to keep promoting themselves and their music, like this video proves his point, everyone is watching this now and he’s getting coverage. Even with his tik tok accounts. It’s what works in this day and time with social media,” they <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/immasayitnow/status/2027939540904907023" target="_blank">wrote</a>. Another <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/MargoGoldfinch/status/2028115805947171195" target="_blank">added</a>, “looks like a part of performance to me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After his BRITs performance, Sombr’s representatives confirmed to <em><a href="https://variety.com/2026/music/news/sombr-altercation-at-brit-awards-staged-rep-confirms-1236675443/" target="_blank">Variety</a></em> that the incident was indeed staged and part of the show. <em>Billboard</em> has reached out to his reps for further comment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	BRIT Awards host Jack Whitehall also chimed in on the incident following the performance. “Such a shame we didn’t have the security ready,” the comedian and actor said.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sombr, a New York City native, was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2026-brit-awards-complete-winners-list-1236189043/">nominated</a> at this year’s BRIT Awards for international artist of the year. He was also nominated for international song of the year for “Undressed.” He lost in both categories to Rosalía, and Rosé and Bruno Mars for “APT.,” respectively.</p>

	Fans voted in a poll published Friday (Feb. 27) on<em> Billboard</em>, choosing the singer’s just-released ballad as their favorite fresh tune of the week.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Nightingale Lane.” made its arrival among various new music releases — from hitmakers BLACKPINK, Bruno Mars and more. RAYE’s emotional song had the edge over BLACKPINK’s new <em>DEADLINE</em> EP (which landed in second place). As the poll came to a close on Sunday, the crooner’s lead held steady, with her new ballad taking 43% of the vote.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Nightingale Lane.” offers a glimpse at RAYE’s sophomore album, <em>This Music May Contain Hope</em>, scheduled for a March 27 release via Human Re Sources. RAYE’s new song release was complemented with a video that showcased a stirring live performance backed by an orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world,” the vocalist said in a press statement <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/raye-announces-this-music-may-contain-hope-album-release-1236160546/">announcing the LP</a>. “I want us all to say to ourselves that it’s going to be all right, and I’m going to have faith in the seeds that I’ve planted beneath the snow. I wanted to create something that is a hug, bed or soft place for that person who needs it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At the 2026 BRIT Awards held in Manchester, England, on Saturday night (Feb. 28), RAYE demonstrated her range in a performance combining “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” with her brand-new ballad.</p>

	How good of a predictor are the Actor Awards when it comes to the Oscars? Good, but hardly definitive. In the last 10 years, five winners of the Actor Award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture have gone on to win the Oscar for best picture: <em>Spotlight, Parasite, CODA, Everything Everywhere All at Once </em>and <em>Oppenheimer</em>. That means the other five did not go on to win the Oscar: <em>Hidden Figures, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Black Panther, The Trial of the Chicago 7 </em>and <em>Conclave</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Last year, the two supporting actor winners at the Actor Awards (Kieran Culkin for <em>A Real Pain</em> and Zoe Saldaña for <em>Emilia Pérez</em>) went on to win Oscars, but the two leading actor winners (Chalamet for <em>A Complete Unknown </em>and Demi Moore for<em> The Substance</em>) did not.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This year’s winners of the ensemble cast awards in TV were <em>The Pitt</em> in drama and <em>The Studio</em> in comedy.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Frankenstein</em> and <em>Marty Supreme</em> were shut out, despite three nominations each. On the TV side, <em>The White Lotus</em> had the worst showing. It went 0-4 on the night.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This was year that the show has been called the Actor Awards. The name change was announced on Nov. 14. For the third year in a row, the ceremony streamed live on Netflix. Actress <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kristen-bell/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kristen-bell/">Kristen Bell </a>hosted for the third time. She sang a special-material number, “Stage Name,” to open the show.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/catherine-ohara/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/catherine-ohara/">Catherine O’Hara</a>, who died on Jan. 30 at age 71, won female actor in a comedy series for her role in <em>The Studio</em>. All but two of the living winners were present to accept their awards. Missing were Penn, who won male actor in a supporting role for <em>One Battle After Another</em>, and 16-year-old Owen Cooper, who won male actor in a television movie or limited series for <em>Adolescence</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A cover version of the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/daryl-hall/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/daryl-hall/">Daryl Hall</a> song “Everytime You Go Away” soundtracked the In Memoriam segment, which included such legends as Gene Hackman, Diane Keaton, Robert Redford and Rob Reiner, and a few music personalities who also acted, namely Bobby Sherman, Connie Francis and David Johanson.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Coming out of the In Memoriam segment, Miles Caton, the 20-year-old breakout star from <em>Sinners</em>, performed “This Little Light of Mine,” the traditional song that opens that soundtrack. He was joined by his cousin, Anaysha Figueroa-Cooper, and the DC6 Singers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Harrison Ford received the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award. Woody Harrelson was the presenter.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Silent House Productions produced the show. Jon Brockett served as showrunner and executive producer alongside Silent House Productions’ Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco and Linda Gierahn who also served as executive producers.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While Storrie wore a silk shirt and silk pants from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello with a Tiffany diamond necklace and earrings during his opening monologue, he quickly changed into a cropped T-shirt from popular mall brand Pacsun for his first skit of the night.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Set in a high school classroom, the sketch featured Storrie wearing a cutoff T-shirt from Pacsun, which is <a rel="nofollow" href="https://pacsun.sjv.io/c/256585/2217715/28645?subId1=BB&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pacsun.com%2Fpacsun%2Feast-pacific-fleece-cutoff-t-shirt-0297200.html" target="_blank">available online now for $49.95 here.</a> The “East Pacific University” T-shirt features a thick fleece construction with distressed cutoff sleeves, a “ripped” v-neck, raw bottom hem and a boxy, oversized fit. The front graphic features a roaring bobcat — assumed to be the mascot of the fictitious school — as well as the words “Honor Roll Dropout.” Pacsun says the T-shirt is washed to give it that vintage look and feel.</p>

As of this writing, more than 300 shoppers were browsing the item online though there are still sizes available from small to extra large. Pacsun says the model seen in the photo above is 6′ 1 and wears a size medium; Storrie, who is about six-feet-tall, likely wore the same size, though you can size up and down depending on how cropped or oversized you want your look to be.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Australia has selected Delta Goodrem to represent the country at the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/video/sweden-wins-eurovision-song-contest-6576166/" data-type="pmc_top_video" data-id="6576166">70th Eurovision Song Contest</a> in Vienna, Austria, SBS and production partner Beyond Productions announced Monday.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Goodrem will perform her newly released single “Eclipse” at Wiener Stadthalle in May, stepping onto one of the world’s largest live music stages. Broadcast to more than 160 million viewers worldwide, Eurovision remains one of the most-watched annual music events globally.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic music stages in the world at Eurovision!” Goodrem said in a statement. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“As a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I’ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music; the universal language. I can’t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Released Monday on ATLED Records, “Eclipse” was written by Goodrem alongside Ferras Alqaisi, Jonas Myrin and Michael Fatkin, with Fatkin also producing the track. According to SBS, the song builds from “intimate vulnerability” to “a soaring, anthemic crescendo,” driven by Goodrem’s vocal and “a dramatic dynamic arc.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The accompanying music video was directed by Melbourne-born, London-based filmmaker Liam Pethick and produced by Brian Purnell. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	SBS said the visual was filmed across sand dunes in Newcastle, NSW, with Goodrem performing “at the centre of a circle of mirrored plinths that fragment and multiply her image,” evolving “as day shifts into night and ultimately collides in a kinetic eclipse of light and shadow.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Goodrem’s selection marks another milestone in a career that began when she signed her first record deal at 15. Her debut album, <em>Innocent Eyes</em>, became one of the highest-selling albums in Australian history, producing five No. 1 singles and spending seven and a half months at No. 1. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Goodrem has sold more than nine million albums worldwide, achieved five No. 1 albums and nine No. 1 singles, and earned 12 ARIA Awards. She has collaborated and toured with artists including Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John, Andrea Bocelli, Tony Bennett, Shania Twain, Backstreet Boys and Ricky Martin.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	SBS Head of Entertainment Emily Griggs said, “After years of speculation, the moment has arrived. Everything has aligned for Delta to represent Australia at Eurovision, and there’s no better time than 2026 in the song contest’s 70th year, back where Australia’s participation began in 2015. To mark this milestone, we wanted to send one of Australia’s most iconic artists to the world’s most iconic stage. Her powerful voice is balanced by restraint and an openness that draws people in, creating performances that feel both intimate and expansive. Europe, get ready. Australia is lighting up the stage.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Australia’s Creative Director for Vienna Paul Clarke added, “Delta Goodrem is a once in a generation artist. Her elegant songwriting and unmatched vocal ability make her the perfect choice to represent Australia and eclipse the competition at the 70th anniversary of Eurovision in Vienna. Her song is a bold step towards the next stage of her worldwide career, and we are excited to bring her vision to life on the stage in May.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Austria’s JJ won the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland, with “Wasted Love.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The 2026 contest runs from Tuesday, May 12 through Saturday, May 16 in Vienna, with SBS confirming its coverage will air live and in prime time from Wednesday, May 13 through Sunday, May 17 on SBS and SBS On Demand.</p>

	Awards shows, by their very design, produce winners and losers and the 2026 BRITs were no different.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The ceremony, which was held at Manchester’s Co-op Live for the first time, featured more losers than normal as <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-dean/">Olivia Dean</a> swept her categories and will head back to her hometown London with four prizes: album of the year, artist of the year, song of the year and pop act. She was crowned the new queen of British pop, following triumphs from RAYE (2024) and Charli xcx (2025) at recent ceremonies.</p>

	The rest of the awards were spread fairly among a number of acts: <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sam-fender/">Sam Fender</a> nabbed two, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/rose-blackpink/">Rosé</a> became the first-ever K-pop winner at the BRITs and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/rosalia/">Rosalía</a> made history by becoming the first Spanish-language artist to earn a win in the international artist field. See the full list of winners from this year’s ceremony <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2026-brit-awards-complete-winners-list-1236189043/">here</a>.</p>

	Honorary prizes to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/noel-gallagher/">Noel Gallagher</a> (songwriter of the year), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/pinkpantheress/">PinkPantheress</a> (producer of the year) and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/mark-ronson/">Mark Ronson</a> (outstanding contribution to music) were reminders that award shows can have strong, memorable moments when artists are not pitted against each other, but celebrated for their own unique achievements and style.

	You’d be forgiven if, by the close of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/t/brit-awards">BRIT Awards 2026</a>, you felt a sense of déjà vu. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-dean">Olivia Dean</a> appeared on the Co-op Live’s stage four times during the ceremony to sweep her categories in spectacular fashion, but it also continued a seemingly unstoppable trend at the BRITs in recent years: one artist totally dominating. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/brit-awards-2025-winners-list-charli-xcx-1235911964/">2025</a>, Charli xcx earned five awards in an array of categories, which toasted the <em>Brat</em> phenomenon. A year earlier in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2024-brit-awards-winners-1235620637/">2024</a>, RAYE stormed to a record-setting six wins in a single night, a feat unlikely to be broken. Go back a year further and it was Harry Styles grabbing four trophies in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2023-brit-awards-record-setters-facts-feats-analysis-harry-styles-wet-leg-1235252344/">2023</a>, and Adele scooping three prizes in 2022.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Each time, the industry quietly asked itself: are we sure this is a good thing for the <a href="https://uk.billboard.com/">U.K.’s music scene</a>? Should it feel like such a forgone conclusion that a star will arrive at the ceremony as a runaway favorite in each category and head home (or to the after-party) with an armful of trophies? </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There are fair arguments that this could be overshadowing the broadness and depth of the U.K. music scene as a whole. At <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2026-brit-awards-complete-winners-list-1236189043/">2026’s ceremony</a>, Dean won album of the year, artist of the year, song of the year (“Rein Me In” with Sam Fender) and pop act, all of which are heavyweight categories and saw Dean juke it out with worthy competitors. She now continues a five-year streak where the artist of the year and album of the year categories share a winner.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It meant that someone like Lily Allen went home empty-handed, despite three nominations in album, artist and pop act categories. Her 2025 LP <em>West End Girl</em> was a pop culture phenomenon and summed up what’s great about British music: wit, honesty and superb songcraft.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Acts like Lola Young (four nominations, one win), Wolf Alice (three nominations, one win) and Dave (three nominations, one win) had their moments, but were dwarfed in Dean’s winning presence. Jim Legaxcy, a genre-blurring newcomer, went home without a trophy despite his potential.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Unless you are the chosen winner of the night (whether it be Dean, Charli, RAYE or whoever), it can be hard to compete. British music is rich and varied, with subtleties across genres, scenes and cities; one hopes that when the world watches the BRIT Awards, they notice these differences and variances and want to dive deeper into every artist nominated, not just be satisfied by the headline names.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That said, the BRIT Awards remains one of the U.K.’s few music moments that can cut through to make stars overnight (the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury Festival is perhaps the only rival). Dean’s memorable 2026 ceremony means she now joins the upper echelons of British music, and cements herself as a capable, cheery new leader.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This is, ultimately, what the U.K. music industry wants and needs: superstars like Dean can act as the rising tide that lifts all boats. Following her big moment on mainstream terrestrial television and on social media feeds, international fans may in turn discover Fender, the North Shields-born rocker who is growing beyond the U.K. and into international territories. They’ll perhaps see that Dean is an alumni of the BRIT School, a non-fee paying state school that puts music at the heart of education and pay attention to the next bright young thing to hit the touring circuit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It also proves that the U.K. music industry remains a global leader. It can still identify top talent and nurture them into global superstars even if that doesn’t happen overnight. Look at Lola Young, an artist whose breakout moment, 2024’s “Messy,” came in the middle of her second album campaign. Or Wolf Alice, a beloved indie-rock band that has gigged incredibly hard over the past decade and recently signed to Sony to kickstart an ambitious new chapter of their career. Skye Newman, a nominee for breakthrough artist, will hit the road with Styles later this year and clearly has the long game in mind.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A number of artists will have left the 2026 BRIT Awards empty-handed or with fewer prizes than they expected or deserved. But perhaps they’ll be able to take solace in the fact that just by virtue of being nominated they are a part of something bigger, and a scene that still has the talent and fight to make its mark on a global stage. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As Abbey Road’s Sally Davies suggested to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/abbey-road-studios-sally-davies-interview-studio-one/"><em>Billboard U.K.</em> in 2025</a>: “The music we make here is world-moving. It travels all over and makes people happy, and we should be shouting about that. We can be wonderfully British and too modest and humble, but maybe we need to be a bit more celebratory.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In her final acceptance speech of the night, Dean was overwhelmed with emotion. She had triumphed in the album of the year category for <em>The Art of Loving</em> and was lost for words, ultimately tearing up and then resting her head on the podium for a brief moment in disbelief. It’s the kind of star-making moment that people will remember her for, much like how RAYE juggling six prizes did the same in 2024 and Harry Styles’ leap to megastardom was confirmed back at 2023’s ceremony. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perhaps in 2027, a different act will do the same and create the same talking points about the ultimate benefits or drawbacks for British music. The fact that the scene’s musicians are at the top of the charts globally and right in the midst of the conversation suggests that we’re at least on the right track, and more than capable of doing it over and over again.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The BRIT Awards took place in Manchester on Saturday (Feb. 28), the first time that the ceremony had been held outside of London in its nearly-five decade history.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The city of Manchester has relished the role of hosting the awards, not least because of the vibrant music scene and performers that dominated pubs, clubs and bars across the Northern capital.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	2026’s BRITs ceremony looked to meet the challenge and put on as compelling a show as possible with a stacked lineup of local and international talent. Its Saturday night broadcast slot on ITV (and YouTube) meant that acts certainly brought their A-game.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/harry-styles">Harry Styles</a> gave his first live performance since 2023 to open the show, kicking off a comeback that is set to continue in the live sphere throughout the year. He’ll play a seven-city residency, including a record-breaking 12-night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A number of acts made their BRITs debuts, with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/alex-warren">Alex Warren</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sombr">Sombr</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/rosalia">Rosalía</a> attending and performing for the first time (though only the latter came home with a trophy). <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/olivia-dean">Olivia Dean</a>, the night’s big winner, also hit the BRITs stage for the first time, and looked like a seasoned pro.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Following the Grammys, the night hosted a tribute to the late <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ozzy-osbourne">Ozzy Osbourne</a>, who died in July 2025. This time, Robbie Williams took on vocal duties with a number of Ozzy’s former bandmates on hand.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	All in, it made for a diverse and engaging lineup of performers throughout the three-hour ceremony – and these are the <em>Billboard</em>‘s rankings.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I Lied to You” from <em>Sinners</em> won best song written and/or recorded for a film at the 16th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards, which were held Feb. 28 at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. The event was held during the final-round voting period for the Oscars (which extends from Feb. 26 to March 5). But the predictive value of the win for the song’s chances at the Oscars is limited: Its main Oscar rival, “Golden” from <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em>, wasn’t eligible for the GMS award, as the film didn’t have a credited music supervisor.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The GMS Awards honor outstanding achievements in the craft of music supervision in film, television, documentaries, advertising, trailers and video games.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The best song award went to the song’s co-writers, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/raphael-saadiq/">Raphael Saadiq</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ludwig-goransson/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ludwig-goransson/">Ludwig Göransson</a>; performer Miles Caton and the film’s music supervisor Niki Sherrod. Saadiq, a three-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar nominee, also received an honorary award, the Icon Award, at the event. And he performed “I Lied to You” alongside Göransson and special guest <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/brittany-howard/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/brittany-howard/">Brittany Howard</a> of Alabama Shakes on guitar.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/jean-michel-jarre-special-tribute-challenger-ron-mcnair-1236166242/">Jean-Michel Jarre</a> is <a href="https://www.amnesia.es/es/party-info/jean-michel-jarre?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=PR&utm_campaign=JMJ_Amnesia&utm_id=PR_JMJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">playing Ibiza</a> for the first time this summer.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The French composer and producer has announced an exclusive live performance at Amnesia on Sunday, July 5th — his first ever show on the island. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The date falls during Amnesia’s 50th anniversary year and is billed as an Ibiza exclusive, making it one of the more unexpected and significant live announcements to come out of the island’s summer calendar in some time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For an artist whose career has been defined by scale — past performances have taken place at the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Tiananmen Square, Pompeii, Masada, and the Sahara Desert, often in front of audiences numbering in the millions — the booking represents a deliberately intimate setting. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Amnesia’s legendary Terrace will host the show, putting Jarre in a room that operates on an entirely different dimension to the grand outdoor spectacles he is best known for.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Amnesia is a trip — an escape from time. No past, no future, just the intensity of the moment,” Jarre said. “That space of freedom is where my music has always lived. I’m thrilled to do my very first Ibiza concert at Amnesia to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the club.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It is a striking choice of words from an artist who has spent over five decades at the frontier of electronic music. Jarre has released 22 studio albums and sold over 85 million records worldwide, and has long been a pioneer in multi-channel audio, VR, and the metaverse. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The show arrives at a meaningful moment for Amnesia, which is marking its 50th anniversary this summer with a season of programming designed to reflect the club’s place in dance music history. Securing Jarre for his island debut fits squarely into that ambition.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Support on the night comes from Berlin-based artist Joplyn, who performs live. Blending ethereal vocals with cinematic electronic production, her set will open the evening before Jarre takes the Terrace. Les Schmitz — an Amnesia resident since 2003 and a figure deeply woven into the club’s culture — will also play a DJ set, guiding the crowd into the night ahead of the headline performance.</p>

	Tickets are on sale now.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mumford & Sons returned to Studio 8H on Saturday night — and they didn’t come alone.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The folk-rock band made their fourth appearance on <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/snl-songs-best-saturday-night-live-music/">Saturday Night Live</a></em> on February 28th, performing material from their new album <em>Prizefighter</em>, released February 20th. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The set’s standout moment came when Hozier walked out to join the band for a live performance of “Rubber Band Man,” their collaboration that has spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It marked the band’s first <em>SNL</em> appearance in eight years, since their 2018 visit, and the Hozier surprise gave the performance an extra jolt that the Studio 8H crowd was clearly not expecting.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The episode was hosted by Connor Storrie, the 26-year-old Canadian actor best known for his role as Shane Hollander on HBO Max’s <em>Heated Rivalry</em>, making his <em>SNL</em> debut. During his opening monologue, Storrie brought out members of the U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team, who recently won gold, alongside the U.S. men’s squad — playing up the contrast between the women’s recent triumph and the men’s 40-plus year gold medal drought for laughs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The night’s other talking point came during a late-night sketch filmed on location at the Rink at Rockefeller Center, where Storrie’s <em>Heated Rivalry</em> costar Hudson Williams made an unannounced cameo. The two, who play rival hockey players on the show, skated together in what quickly became the episode’s most shared moment online. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Williams later returned to Studio 8H to join Storrie in introducing Mumford & Sons for their musical segment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyond “Rubber Band Man,” the band performed additional material from <em>Prizefighter</em>, which also features tracks including “The Banjo Song” and “Here.”</p>

	At about 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul’s School. After charging Allman, police said he was released on bail as his case works through the court system.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Allman has no apparent connection to the school, and it remains unclear why he was there, sources tell <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/02/28/elijah-blue-allman-arrested-assault/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TMZ</a>. He primarily resides in Southern California.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Attorney information for Allman was not available in court records.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A representative for Cher was not immediately available. St. Paul’s School declined to comment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	An investigation is ongoing.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In June 2025, Allman was <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2025/06/15/cher-son-elijah-blue-allman-overdoses-hospitalized/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hospitalized following an overdose</a> at his home after authorities responded to reports of erratic behavior. Drugs were later discovered at the residence, according to TMZ. The incident occurred roughly two months after his wife, Marieangela King, filed for divorce following 13 years of marriage.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cher <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/cher-files-conservatorship-son-elijah-blue-allman-1235573342/">sought a conservatorship</a> over her son in 2023, alleging he was “substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues.” She also claimed King had interfered with his efforts to seek treatment, TMZ reported. The case was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/business/legal/cher-conservatorship-sons-money-denied-case-isnt-over-1235576867/">dismissed</a> in late 2024.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A childhood friend of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/rza/">RZA</a>’s, Grant played an integral role in building the legendary Staten Island, N.Y., crew and invested in the brand from its earliest stages. He also served as an executive producer on all of Wu’s albums. The group <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/oliver-power-grant-death-wu-tang-clan-cofounder-dead-1236186579/">announced his death</a> on Feb. 25. He was 52.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The news of Grant’s passing came the same day the Wu-Tang Clan received its first <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/rock-hall-2026-nominations-odds-most-likely/">Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination</a> for the Class of 2026.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“A true fighter until the end, he was surrounded by his mother, his children, his family, and his closest friends,” the tribute read.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A “proud product of the Park Hill neighborhood” of Staten Island, Grant grew up alongside the future members of Wu-Tang Clan. “From those streets, he rose to become a visionary force, a pillar of the Wu-Tang family, and a global architect of culture,” the statement continued. “It was the honor of his life to pour his love, wisdom, and brilliance into his family and his community. His impact was singular; there will never be another to take his place.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Power will always be loved, and his legacy will forever remain,” Grant’s family and Wu-Tang wrote in closing. “Greatness is not what you have, but what you give.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Although Power wasn’t a performing member of the Wu-Tang Clan, he played a crucial role in the group’s rise. In 1992, he helped finance the act’s first single, “Protect Ya Neck,” and served as executive producer on their 1993 debut album, <em>Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Grant’s influence also extended beyond music. He co-founded the pioneering streetwear brand Wu Wear, a trailblazing and highly lucrative venture for the group.</p>

	“I’m a longtime friend with the group, and I came up with them,” Lyte said. “They influenced me and so many others in our careers. They showed all of us that we could stand toe to toe with any roughneck.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Speaking first after the group received their statuettes following a standing ovation, Salt eschewed a planned acceptance speech (“I don’t have my glasses.”) She <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_1xPoU5N1E" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">opted instead to rap</a> — much to the star-filled audience’s head-nodding delight — and proved she hasn’t lost her signature flow.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Here’s to my kings and my queens,” Salt began. “Hip-hop and rap fiends. I ain’t talking pipes. I’m talking about rap dreams. I can’t breathe. All I see is hands and white knees. 2025 came and went like lightning. Time moving way too fast. It’s frightening. Let’s move like Spike Lee and do the right thing. They smile in your face while putting a knife in. Backstabbers. Can’t stand them … Let there be voices. Sing, kiss the ring. Here’s to my melanin kings; they exchange strange fruit for yellow tape and chalk lines. How many murders? How many of us lost lives? How many lies, how many cries, how many rallies? Yea, though I walk through the valley on that rap tip like catfish on grits, like ’80s hip-hop. Pump your fists, like this.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Noting the award “represents longevity, resilience and sisterhood,” Pepa remarked, “When we first started, there wasn’t any blueprint for women like us in hip-hop. We were told to compete, we were told to conform. We were told to make ourselves smaller in the room. But we chose to stand together and to stay true to who we are. So this award is really for the women that came before us. It’s for the women standing beside us. It’s for the women coming next, and it’s for every female MC who was ever underestimated but never silenced.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Over the course of their three-decade+ career, Salt-N-Pepa and DJ Spinderella released a string of enduring hits and cultural anthems such as “Push It,” “Shoop,” “Whatta Man” (with En Vogue) and “Let’s Talk About Sex.” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/rock-roll-hall-fame-induction-2025-ceremony-recap-moments/">Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame</a> in 2025, the group was previously honored with a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/selena-salt-n-pepa-recording-academys-lifetime-achievement-award-9503927/">Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award</a> in 2021 and a star on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/salt-n-pepa-star-hollywood-walk-of-fame-1235161246/">Hollywood Walk of Fame</a> in 2022.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We didn’t know we were building a movement,” added Spinderella of the NAACP honor. “We were just being ourselves. Looking back, we changed what women in hip-hop were allowed to be. We normalized women owning their voice. We talked about independence, expression, relationships, sex, confidence, standards, openly and unapologetically, and the visuals: the fashion, the hair, the choreography, the attitude.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We were feminine without shrinking; bold without apology,” she continued . “We made it clear that fun, fashion and femininity had a place in hip-hop and our songs. They weren’t just hits. They sparked conversations. And we didn’t just entertain. We connected. When I look at the generations that came after us — they’re so confident, so bold, so message-driven, so powerful — I smile. I’m so proud. Now I understand what we built wasn’t just music; it was a movement. We are Salt-N-Pepa. We are sisterhood.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Aired via BET, CBS and across the Paramount networks, the NAACP Image Awards also presented special honors to Viola Davis (chairman’s award) and Colman Domingo (president’s award). Michael B. Jordan (<em>Sinners</em>) won the entertainer of the year award, presented by Lionel Richie. That category’s other nominees included Kendrick Lamar, Doechii, Teyana Taylor and Cynthia Erivo. See the full winners list <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/2026-naacp-image-awards-winners-list/">here</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Returning as host, actor/comedian Deon Cole, a three-time Image Award winner, helmed the two-hour celebration, which featured no musical performances. He kept the ceremony lively and colorful, covering everything from blasting ICE to roasting Nicki Minaj in a playful prayer on behalf of several entertainers.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/elvis-presley/">Elvis Presley</a>‘s Las Vegas residency was a historic moment for the showman.

It is estimated that he performed for approximately 2.5 million people during his stint, generating roughly $43.7 million in ticket sales at the time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That show was hugely successful [and] introduced rock ‘n’ roll to the big Vegas stage,” said Richard Zoglin, author of <em>Elvis in Vegas</em>. The residency occurred at a later stage of Presley’s career, ending just a year before he died in 1977.</p>

		This new documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of Presley’s Las Vegas residency with never-before-seen footage. The documentary is directed by Baz Luhrmann, director of the 2022 biopic <em>Elvis</em>.	</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The documentary gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at Presley’s Vegas stint with never-before-seen footage. Tickets to the documentary are <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.fandango.com/redirect.aspx?searchby=moverview&mid=243795&a=13262">available now on Fandango</a>. Pricing varies depending on your location and chosen theater. The film’s soundtrack features a combination of updated remixes of signature live recordings alongside new remixes and medleys of classic songs from Presley, including Jamieson Shaw remixes of “In the Ghetto” and “Love Me” and a PNAU remix of “Don’t Fly Away.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Luhrmann is quite familiar with the life and work of Presley. Back in 2022, the director released a biopic titled <em>Elvis</em>, starring Austin Butler as Presley and Tom Hanks as his infamous manager and tour promoter, Colonel Tom Parker. The biopic dove into Presley’s early life, sharing the star’s rise to fame and the little-known inspiration he took from African American artists like Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup and Big Mama Thornton that directly inspired his work, a la “Hound Dog,” going forward.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to a release, during the making of his 2022 biopic, Luhrmann and his team found a treasure trove of long-hidden film negatives and footage in the Warner Brothers vault from the Elvis docs <em>Elvis: The Way It Is</em> from 1970 and <em>Elvis On Tour</em> from 1972 in addition to never-before-seen 8mm footage and never-before-heard audio of Elvis musing about his life. All of this inspired Luhrmann to self-fund and create this documentary.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lil-durk/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lil-durk/">Lil Durk</a>’s trial on federal murder-for-hire charges has been postponed again, this time from April to August, despite the rapper’s continued objections to the delays.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Chicago drill star (real name Durk Banks) was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/business/legal/lil-durk-ordered-quando-rondo-murder-planned-flee-country-feds-1235811786/">charged in October 2024</a> with orchestrating a plot to kill rival rapper <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/quando-rondo/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/quando-rondo/">Quando Rondo</a>, resulting in a 2022 Los Angeles shooting by others that left another man dead. He denies the allegations and has pleaded not guilty.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A jury trial for Durk and his three co-defendants has been repeatedly pushed back, first from <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/lil-durk-murder-for-hire-trial-could-be-delayed-2026/">October to January</a>, then to April – each time over Durk’s objections. Now, in an order Friday, Judge <strong>Michael Fitzgerald</strong> ordered another continuance, this time until August 20.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ahead of the new delay, Durk’s co-defendants had asked to be severed from his trial entirely, citing the risk that evidence against the star might hurt their own defenses. But that request was denied on Friday by the judge, who pushed the date back to give them more time to prepare for the combined trial.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a statement to <em>Billboard</em>, Durk’s attorney <strong>Drew Findling</strong> said: “We are fully prepared to proceed to trial. The matter was continued by the court over our objection.” A spokesman for prosecutors declined to comment. Attorneys for Durk’s three codefendants  – Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Asa Houston and David Brian Lindsey – did not immediately return requests for comment.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Durk faces allegations that he ordered members of his Only the Family (OTF) crew to carry out the 2022 attack, which left Rondo (Tyquian Bowman) unscathed but saw his friend Lul Pab (Saviay’a Robinson) killed in the crossfire.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In charging documents, prosecutors claimed that Durk’s OTF was not merely a group of Chicago rappers, but a “hybrid organization” that also functioned as a criminal gang to carry out violent acts “at the direction” of Durk. Prosecutors say he ordered the Rondo shooting in retaliation for the 2020 killing of rapper <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/king-von/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/king-von/">King Von</a> (Dayvon Bennett), a close friend and frequent collaborator of Durk’s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a key decision earlier this month, Judge Fitzgerald ruled that prosecutors <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/lil-durk-trial-song-lyrics-jury-hear-court/">can introduce lyrics</a> from his songs as evidence – namely his <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/nardo-wick/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/nardo-wick/">Nardo Wick </a>collaboration “Who Want Smoke??”, which peaked at No. 5 on <em>Billboard</em>‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 2021, and “Ahhh Ha,” which hit No. 4 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 2022. The judge said the lyrics to those tracks were relevant to whether Durk ordered the hit as payback for Von’s slaying.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The use of rap lyrics as evidence in criminal cases is controversial, with critics arguing that it threatens free speech and injects racial bias into legal proceedings. Several states have banned or limited this practice for local prosecutions. It’s still legal in federal court, though, where Durk is being tried.</p>

	Rankings for the Top Movie Songs chart are based on song and film data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of January 2026. The ranking generally includes newly released films from the preceding three months, with exceptions given to movies whose music is still experiencing a high volume of public interest.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yet again, <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> remains part of the Top Movie Songs chart via continued sizable streaming and sales metrics for its soundtrack, led as ever by HUNTR/X’s “Golden” at No. 1 for the seventh month in a row.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Golden,” which topped the weekly Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks in mid-2025, returned to the chart’s top 10 after the 2025 holiday season at No. 2 and remained within the top four for the entirety of January. It earned 99.4 million official on-demand U.S. streams in January 2026, plus 23,000 song downloads, according to Luminate.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Seven songs from the movie’s soundtrack (a two-week No. 1 on the Billboard 200) appear on the latest Top Movie Songs list, with “Golden” followed by Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” at No. 2 (40.6 million streams, 5,000 downloads).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The non-<em>KPop Demon Hunters</em> song in the top three is Shakira’s “Zoo,” from <em>Zootopia 2</em>, for the second straight month. On the strength of 31.8 million streams and 6,000 downloads in January 2026, the song jumped onto the Hot 100 at No. 77 (Jan. 10), following in the footsteps of the original film’s “Try Everything,” also by Shakira, that peaked at No. 63 in 2016.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Miley Cyrus’ “Dream As One” is the lone Top Movie Songs debut of the month, bowing at No. 10 following the release of its parent film, <em>Avatar: Fire and Ash</em>, on Dec. 19. Cyrus’ song scored 15.9 million streams and sold 1,000 downloads.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/will-smith/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/will-smith/">Will Smith</a>’s lawyers say a judge should throw out a “farce of a lawsuit” brought by an electric violinist who performed on the star’s <em>Based on a True Story</em> tour last year.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Feb. 20 motion, obtained by <em>Billboard</em>, is Smith’s first court filing responding to sexual harassment and retaliation claims <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/will-smith-sexual-harassment-lawsuit-ex-tour-violinist/">leveled against him</a> by violinist Brian King Joseph in December. King, who came in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/shin-lim-wins-americas-got-talent-8476056/">third place</a> on season 13 of <em>America’s Got Talent</em>, says he was wrongly fired from Smith’s international tour after complaining that somebody had broken into his hotel room and left sexually suggestive materials.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Brian King Joseph is using the California court system to maliciously ensnare [Will Smith] in a frivolous lawsuit,” reads the motion, filed by Smith’s attorneys at the firm Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani. “The false and salacious allegations in plaintiff’s complaint undoubtedly make for tabloid fodder but, like most tabloid stories, they are untrue, inflammatory, legally baseless, and are nothing but an attempted money grab.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Smith denies ever sexually harassing Joseph. As Joseph’s lawsuit acknowledges, it’s not known who it was that broke into his Las Vegas hotel room and left a bottle of HIV medication, an earring and a note – and Smith says it absolutely wasn’t him or anybody on his team.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Joseph’s case attempts to connect Smith to the hotel room incident by claiming that the actor and singer was “grooming” him beforehand. But Smith says there’s no truth to this “absurd conclusion” either, noting that he was never even alone with Joseph.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to Smith, the real reason Joseph had to leave the <em>Based on a True Story</em> tour was because he often arrived late for rehearsals, behaved erratically and made other performers feel uncomfortable.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Plaintiff was never promised a regular position in the band,” writes Smith’s lawyers. “Ultimately, it was determined that plaintiff was not a good fit for the band and he was not invited to perform at further shows.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ultimately, Smith argues in the motion that a Los Angeles judge should dismiss the lawsuit permanently because Joseph has not pled any valid facts to prop up his claims.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reached for comment on Smith’s arguments on Friday (Feb. 27), Joseph’s attorney <strong>Jonathan J. Delshad </strong>told <em>Billboard</em>, “A jury’s ultimate determination matters more to us than Mr. Smith’s opinion of this case.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The defense’s ‘press-release rhetoric’ that they added to the brief is not evidence,” said Delshad. “We will oppose the motions and present the facts in court. When the case is complete, the gap between the rhetoric and the factual record will be obvious.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Smith’s dismissal motion is set to be considered by a judge at a hearing in April.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Friday (Feb. 27), the day after the season 4 finale of the buzzy reality competition started streaming on Peacock, the <em>Traitors</em> social channels shared a video of Nam sending a very pointed musical message to one of his castmates.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This song is for Rob,” Nam said from the show’s signature Scottish castle, calling out Rob Rausch — the <em>Love Island USA</em> alum and day 1 Traitor who got all the way to the end and won the full $220,800 prize in Thursday’s finale. Nam and Rausch had a complicated dynamic on the show, given that Rob recruited Eric to be a Traitor after his fellow O.G.s Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett were banished, and then teamed up with eventual runner-up Maura Higgins to banish the K-pop idol in the end.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So what song did Nam dedicate to Rausch? CeeLo Green’s 2010 <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> No. 2 smash “F**k You!” “I see you drivin’ ’round town with the girl I love, and I’m like, ‘F— you!'” Nam sings, opting for the unedited original vs. CeeLo’s “Forget You!” radio edit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And if we’re to believe the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVRiRb7gpy7/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> comments section on the video, Nam is just getting started. “Revenge music coming soon,” he joked in the comments section, with his fellow contestants Kristen Kish and Stephen Colletti responding with cry-laughing and clapping emojis.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Of course, it’s all in good fun, as Nam ends the video with a laugh.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Watch Nam’s “F**k You!” musical message below:</p>

	“I have a theory that there are three kinds of songwriting,” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/neil-sedaka/">Neil Sedaka</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/the-billboard-qa-neil-sedaka-1212114/">posited to <em>Billboard</em></a> in 2010.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The emotional is when you go through some trauma and get it out on the page,” he mused. “The intellectual writing is when you have a tune in your head spinning around for many years and you almost rewrite it. And the last is spiritual writing, which is something that comes from a higher power that kind of writes itself and you’re channeling. It’s my theory, but I find that over the years, these are the three types of writing.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	During his lifetime, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/neil-sedaka-death-singer-songwriter-dead-obituary-1236188755/">Sedaka, who died</a> Feb. 27 in Los Angeles at age 86, translated his craft into beloved <em>Billboard</em> chart hits, including three No. 1s among nine top 10s as a recording artist on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a>. He totaled 30 entries on the chart overall as a singer, from 1958 to 1980, 26 of which he co-wrote, the bulk with writing partner Howard Greenfield (who passed in 1986). Sedaka co-penned all of his top 10s.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sedaka additionally crowned the Hot 100 as the co-writer, with Greenfield, of Captain & Tennille’s debut smash, “Love Will Keep Us Together,” for four weeks in 1975. (Sedaka had first recorded the song in 1973; the duo’s version famously shouts him out near its close.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sedaka initially appeared on the Hot 100 as a recording artist in December 1958 with “The Diary” and first reached the top 10 the following December with “Oh! Carol.” He claimed his first No. 1 with “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do,” for two weeks in June-July 1960. He and Greenfield co-authored all three songs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As a writer, Sedaka made his Hot 100 debut just before “The Diary” — the week that the chart started. On the Aug. 4, 1958, list, Connie Francis’ “Stupid Cupid” began its run to a No. 17 peak that September. Sedaka and Greenfield co-wrote the song, along with two top 10s for Francis: “Frankie” (No. 9, 1959) and “Where the Boys Are” (No. 4, 1961).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Brooklyn-born entertainer tallied his first 20 Hot 100 hits as a singer, all on RCA Victor, through 1966. Sedaka returned in 1974, on Rocket Records — which Elton John had co-founded the year before — with “Laughter in the Rain.” The song led for a week in February 1975. He reigned again for three weeks that October with “Bad Blood,” which includes John on backing vocals. He co-wrote both tracks with Phil Cody.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sedaka last reached the Hot 100’s top 10 under his own artist billing with a slowed-down interpretation of “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do,” which hit No. 8 in 1976. Captain & Tennille, meanwhile, notched two more top 10s that decade that Sedaka wrote: his own “Lonely Night (Angel Face)” (No. 3, 1976) and the Greenfield co-write “You Never Done It Like That” (No. 10, 1978).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sedaka charted his last Hot 100 title with the Elektra Records single “Should’ve Never Let You Go” — a duet with his daughter, Dara. It rose to No. 19 in 1980.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In his 2010 <em>Billboard</em> Q&A, Sedaka shared his belief that a tenet of creating hit songs is to “write something that’s not predictable, something that has turns and twists. Simple is the hardest to write, but if you have a surprise in the song lyrically or melodically, you’re ahead of the game.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In honor of Sedaka’s chart legacy, below is a recap of his 10 biggest Hot 100 hits.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Neil Sedaka’s Biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits chart is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100, through the Feb. 28, 2026, ranking. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.</em></p>

	If you’re an independent artist looking to create, promote and grow your online presence, creating a home base and foundation of your work is key. Like inviting people to your home, artists need an online hub that reflects your style, vision and message.

For independent artist, it’s best to focus on one or two social media platforms. It’s generally more effective to focus on a platform where your target audience is most active rather than spreading yourself thin across many. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mastering a single platform allows for higher-quality, consistent content, which is often more valuable than maintaining a fragmented presence. Once you have established sustainable growth and consistent engagement on one, you can strategically expand to other platforms if they align with your goals and make sense for your online presence. This rule also applies to paid advertisement. If you start promoting your music with ads too early the authenticity of your work could feel tainted.</p>

		Use Streaming Platforms as Part of Your Promotion Plan	</h3>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With your new and improved website, it’s time to promote your music. From electronic press kits, smart links and music landing pages, <a href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=87443X1644751&xs=1&xcust=BB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbandzoogle.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fbest-ways-promote-music-online-bandzoogle-1236188899%2F" data-type="link" data-id="https://go.skimresources.com?id=87443X1644751&xs=1&xcust=BB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbandzoogle.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bandzoogle</a> gives musicians a variety of options to create custom onesheet promo pages to share your music with fans and industry professionals. On the site, you can create email newsletters, fan mailing list, early access promo and even blogs for more in-depth content. This is great way to bypass the noise of social media and create exclusive content for your die-hard fans. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Also, when promoting your music. The most common way to build up hype and sustain it is by creating a three-step plan: pre-launch, release and post-launch. Typically, you should work backward from your release date, ideally allowing 4–8 weeks for the pre-launch phase to educate your audience and build up interest. During the release, shift to direct, high-intensity promotion. Finally, for post-launch, deliver extra content to keep fans engaged, like behind-the scenes footage or Q&A’s.</p>



	<h3 class="heading larva //   a-font-secondary-fancy-l   ">
		Collaborate & Network With Other Musicians	</h3>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Building relationships within your industry is great way to grow your presence with the music world.

Expressing your interest and support toward fellow artists can open the opportunity for collaborations or remix’s  to help your music penetrate their fan base.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When online, following local venues, artists and industry professionals can easily provide opportunities to connect. Building these relationships takes time—focus on being a present, reliable community member.</p>

	With TikTok and Instagram Reels becoming a popular choice for younger generations to consume content, this sets up low-budget, short-form opportunities for indie artists to create visual assets for their work. All you need is an iPhone to capture content and go viral off of a 3 to 30-second clip. As you grow and your budget grows, creating a traditional music video becomes more viable. Wheter its short or long form video content, develop a creative concept that plays to your existing strengths while minimizing complex logistics. Focus on a single, compelling idea—such as a strong narrative, unique performance, or artistic aesthetic.</p>



	<h3 class="heading larva //   a-font-secondary-fancy-l   ">

	<h3 class="heading larva //   a-font-secondary-fancy-l   ">
		Use Contests, Giveaways & Experiments	</h3>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Make your fans feel special by offering contests, giveaways and promotions that will present fun ways for your community to invest in your world. From merch promos, free ticket giveaways, and exclusive digital content, by targeting people who genuinely care about your product or content, you attract long-term followers rather than “freebie hunters” who unfollow after the contest ends. Success relies on keeping entry tasks simple, setting a clear timeframe, and maintaining active engagement throughout.</p>



	<h3 class="heading larva //   a-font-secondary-fancy-l   ">
		Analyze and Adapt Your Strategies	</h3>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	Multiple award-winning Australian electronic artist, songwriter and producer <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ninajirachi/">Ninajirachi</a> is the special guest on the tour, the first in these parts by Tame Impala since 2022.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On that occasion, Parker and Co. were supporting 2020’s <em>The Slow Rush</em> with an arena visit delayed by the pandemic. Parker did play arenas in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in the final weeks of 2025, although in a different capacity; for that run, he was the opening DJ for French electronic maestros Justice.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Deadbeat</em> opened at No. 2 on the ARIA Chart last October, continuing a streak that has seen all five of Tame Impala’s studio albums crack the national top 5, starting with <em>Innerspeaker</em> (from 2010) and <em>Lonerism</em> (2012), both of which peaked at No. 4. Tame Impala’s previous two albums,<em> Currents</em> (2015) and <em>The Slow Rush</em> (2020), went all the way to No. 1.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	All told, Tame Impala has won 13 ARIA Awards, one BRIT Award and now two Grammys. Parker can add to his stacked trophy room with the coveted song of the year at the 2026 APRA Music Awards, for which “End of Summer” is shortlisted.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Parker has assembled a new six-piece touring band for the<em> Deadbeat</em> tour, which got underway with 12 sold-out shows across North America last October and November. A tour of Europe and the United Kingdom will begin this April, followed by a return to United States and Canada from June for an arena run featuring guests Djo and Dominic Fike.</p>

	<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://pmc-billboard.go-vip.net/music/iron-maiden">Iron Maiden</a> will bring their brand of heavy metal thunder down under later this year.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The British heavy metal legends today (Feb. 27) announce the Australia dates of their <em>Run For Your Lives World Tour</em>, where they’ll play stadiums for the first time in both Melbourne and Sydney, and arenas in Adelaide and Brisbane.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/megadeth/">Megadeth</a> are special guests on the four-date run, which will get underway Nov. 11 at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, before hitting Melbourne’s AAMI Park (Nov. 13), Sydney’s Allianz Stadium (Nov. 15), and wrapping up Nov. 18 at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Australia visit will mark Iron Maiden’s eighth, dating back to November 1982. Australians can’t get enough of them; Iron Maiden was here fewer than two years ago, in September 2024.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This will be Iron Maiden’s biggest tour of Australia ever,” explains TEG Dainty president Paul Dainty, producer of the forthcoming run. “Headlining stadiums in Melbourne and Sydney for the first time in their 50-year history is a massive moment. And with Megadeth joining the tour, this is going to be an absolute powerhouse night of metal — two giants of the genre, one colossal production, and a show Australian fans won’t know what hit them.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Iron Maiden has had a solid week. On Wednesday, the band’s name was called out for nomination into the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/rock-hall-fame-nominees-2026-list-1236186061/">Rock And Roll Hall of Fame</a>. And earlier, on Tuesday, Universal Pictures International (UPI) unveiled <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/iron-maiden-documentary-treatment-burning-ambition-1236186237/">Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition</a></em>, a feature film that’s said to trace the rockers’ “remarkable five‑decade journey” with “unprecedented access” to the rockers’ official archives.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Formed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden are titans of the heavy genre, with 17 studio albums, over 100 million records sold, and more than 2,500 performances across 64 countries. In September 2021, Iron Maiden earned its highest charting album ever on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://pmc-billboard.go-vip.net/charts/billboard-200">Billboard 200</a> as <em>Senjutsu</em> debuted at No. 3. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	What is a night in the life of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/rihanna/">Rihanna</a> like? As you might imagine, super busy. But at least now we can see just how busy thanks to an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVPfDgpD48x/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">80-second video RihRih posted</a> on Thursday night (Feb. 26) in which she takes Navy on a several hour tour of her bustling fashion and music empire. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Along the way, the singer also dropped the latest hint that her long-awaited ninth studio album — referred to as “R9” if you know — might maybe, possibly, be in the works.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The night opens just before 10 p.m. at a Savage X meeting, where the boss of the fashion brand talks colors and patterns with the team under the strains of Chic’s 1978 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 disco classic “Le Freak.” The nearly three-hour meeting ends with Rihanna signing vinyl copies of her <em>Loud</em>, <em>Music of the Sun</em> and <em>Good Girl Gone Bad</em> LPs. For the record, the meeting went until 1:45 a.m. and ended with the slap-happy crew cracking up and giggling “approved” to sketches just to get things done.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I have to go to the studio after this,” Rihanna announces near 2 a.m. “And I have to make a Mardi Gras costume for my son after the studio … longest day ever,” she adds. As the clock rolls toward 2:20, the word “SLEEP” pops up on screen and is quickly scratched out. Miles to go before the mother of three can get some shut-eye, apparently.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Around 3 a.m. we see Rihanna in a recording studio, punching buttons on the console and seemingly writing lyrics while snuggled up under a blanket and a puffer coat as a room full of cohorts hang out around her. This part of the video, unfortunately, has no audio, so we just have to be content with watching Rih vibe out to unheard music, dancing around and smiling as she waves her phone to an unheard beat.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Still not done. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At 5:05 a.m. Rihanna is still at it and starting to get a bit loopy as she goofs around with the team in the studio. “STILL NO SLEEP,” reads the message as the clock ticks toward 7 a.m. That’s when she turns on mom mode and starts working on that Mardi Gras costume she was talking about, hot glue gun in hand, as Chaka Khan’ 1978 soul classic “I’m Every Woman” blasts out amid a flurry of cutting and pasting sparkly fabric.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	By 8 a.m. we see Rihanna emerge with her son in tow, rocking his bedazzled jeans and black jacket, with black heart-shaped sunglasses, pink pacifier and an umbrella covered in black sequins and green feathers completing the look; Rihanna has three children with partner A$AP Rocky, three-year-old son RZA Athelston, two-year-old son Riot Rose and six-month-old daughter Rocki Irish Mayers. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	By 9:30 a.m., Rih, wearing a bedazzled Mardi Gras mask and a pink SVG x Fenty sweatsuit, packs her son off to school and can finally get some “me” time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Maybe.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Rihanna recently <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/rihanna-eight-riaa-diamond-anti-anniversary-1236165786/">celebrated the 10th anniversary</a> of her <em>ANTI</em> album, which was released in January 2016 and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Since then she has headlines the 2023 Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, released the <em>Black Panther:</em> <em>Wakanda Forever</em> theme “Life Me Up” and voiced Smurfette in last year’s <em>Smurfs</em> movie.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/billy-idol/">Billy Idol</a> is taking an all-good-things-come-to-those-who-wait attitude toward his <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/rock-hall-fame-nominees-2026-list-1236186061/">second consecutive Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination</a>, announced earlier this week. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I started to realize you don’t always get in on your first time; that’s quite unusual, I think,” Idol tells <em>Billboard</em> via Zoom from London, where he’s promoting the theater roll-out of his new documentary, <em>Billy Idol Should Be Dead</em>. He was nominated for the first time in 2025 and finished third in the public fan vote with nearly 260,500. “It’s a process, and I can see why,” he continues. “There’s quite a large number of people involved in deciding who gets in. It’s no guarantee.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That said, Idol makes no bones that if elected he WILL serve. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s fantastic. It’s really exciting. It would be incredible this year. This is 50 years ago when I started (with the band Generation X), so it would be really incredible,” he says. “It would cap off an amazing 50 years … When I walked through that door that punk rock opened up, you really didn’t know if you’ve got the goods; only over time you see I really did have the goods, and I think the songs I’ve made are lasting, the recordings are still good. And I had great people around me to get to where I wanted to go.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Idol also still has warm memories about taking part in the late Ozzy Osbourne’s 2024 Rock Hall induction as a solo act, singing “No More Tears.” “It was an incredible night; it really showed me how much fun that night at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame can be,” Idol recalls. “It was just fantastic to be part of Ozzy’s tribute.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Idol — whose guitarist, Billy Morrison, was one of Osbourne’s closest friends — also paid tribute to Osbourne during his North American dates last year. “His passing was a shock … even though we knew Ozzy had a lot of problems and he was feeling a lot of pain and stuff the night of his induction. I know that when I helped him to get up at one point it hurt him. We thought that we would have more time, but of course that’s not how it works. But of course it almost seemed like it was all meant to be with that <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/black-sabbath-final-concert-review-ozzy-osbourne-recap/">Back to the Beginning (concert)</a>.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Considering this year’s entire Rock Hall ballot — which includes contemporaries such as Joy Division/New Order, who Idol says he’s never met, and INXS, as well as friends including Oasis and the Black Crowes — Idol adds that, “It’s really a competition. That’s what’s fantastic; whoever gets in will be a fantastic class …. We were all kind of making our way towards really doing this forever. It’s a serious thing we all believed in, that we really wanted to see where our generation would take music. I think with the punk and then the music in the 80s, we really did establish what the sound of the 80s would be — and beyond.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Idol says that the half-century since Generation X’s formation in London — the band released four albums, while Idol has released nine solo sets, including last year’s <em>Dream Into It</em>  — “has gone by in a flash, like 50 seconds or something. It’s been a roller coaster. There have been ups and downs, but in general it’s been great, and I’ve had a fantastic time.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	All of that is reviewed in <em>Billy Idol Should Be Dead</em>, which debuted at last summer’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York and opened in theaters this week. Directed by Jonas Akerlund, it takes a deep dive into Idol’s life and career, which includes sales of more than 40 million records worldwide and hits such as “White Wedding,” “Dancing With Myself,” “Rebel Yell,” “Eyes Without a Face” and more. It features in-depth interviews with Idol, as well as his mother and sister, colleagues including longtime guitarist and co-writer Steve Stevens and others. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We really worked on it,” Idol says about the film, which began filming during 2019 and was made in fits and starts due to the COVID pandemic — something he feels helped the project. “We were able to marinate what we were doing and really see what we needed. The gestation period, even though quite a long time, really helped get what we were aiming for,” he says.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s one of those things I never could have imagined, that one day I would see a really well-done film of my life that is warts and all. We didn’t shy away from some of my more crazy moments or whatever; I think it’s all part of it. You need to show both angles, the success and some of the failures and mistakes I made. The main thing is I was really lucky I got to do the thing I loved; that’s what you’re really watching, someone who knows he’s lucky, but at the same time you really had to work at what you’re doing and find out if you really could do it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The movie and the Rock Hall nomination may be putting the spotlight on Idol’s past, but he promises that “it’s not over yet.” He plans to start working on a follow-up to <em>Dream Into It</em> — whose title track is featured in the documentary — during the spring, and there are also plans to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his third solo album, <em>Whiplash Smile</em>, and its hit remake (and rename) of William Bell’s Stax single “To Be a Lover.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m going to make more music,” Idol notes. “I’m still trying to see where we can go with my life. I’ve still got plenty of vistas we’re looking at. You never know what’s gonna happen.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Rock Hall has opened  fan voting via <a href="https://rockhall.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">rockhall.com</a> and at the museum in Cleveland. This year’s inductees are slated to be announced during late April, with the ceremony taking place this fall at a date and location yet to be announced.</p>

	Jon Hamm likes to have a good time. And lately, it seems, those good times happen to frequently revolve around whatever <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny/">Bad Bunny</a> is doing. Last summer, the <em>Hoppers</em> star was famously spotted dancing the night away in a Hawaiian shirt and bucket hat at one of Bad Bunny’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-residency-coliseo-puerto-rico-review-1236019929/">historic 30-show residency run</a> at San Juan, Puerto Rico’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Thursday night’s (Feb. 26) <em>Late Night</em>, host Seth Meyers posted a pic of Hamm from one of those concerts and the actor promptly recreated his hand in the air dancing gesture to wild applause from the studio audience. “Don’t take this the wrong way … I wouldn’t think you would naturally fit into those environs,” Meyers said delicately. “But, my God, you really do!”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I mean … dress for the job you want,” Hamm said cooly about his tropical attire. Hamm said the show was “spectacular” and the whole place was “vibing” as fans sang along to every word of every song. Hamm gave his wife, Anna Osceola, full credit for suggesting they had to go see one of the gigs. “It was fantastic.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Meyers noted that a week later, Hamm was at it again, showing up in the studio audience in his same concert outfit when Benito hosted <em>Saturday Night Live</em>. “I defy you to find someone having a better time,” said Hamm, who also appeared that night in a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-saturday-night-live-chavo-del-ocho-snl-skit-1236082206/">sketch paying tribute to <em>El Chavo Del Ocho</em></a>. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When Meyers asked if the pair were friends now, Hamm admitted that they are not, but that they share a birthday (March 10) and that when they do interact, he’s allowed to call the singer by his given name: Benito. And what, pray tell, does Benito call Hamm? “Juan Jamón,” Hamm laughed. You may also recall that Hamm was also at this year’s Super Bowl, where Bad Bunny <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-2026-1236175928/">rocked the halftime show</a>, and, of course, cameras caught the actor <a href="https://www.billboard.com/photos/super-bowl-2026-photos-halftime-show-celebrities-1236175958/40-jon-hamm/">pumping his arms and dancing</a> along to the set.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Once again … I defy … I defy you to find someone having a better time,” Hamm smiled. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Not all superheroes wear capes, but <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/benny-blanco/">Benny Blanco</a> might want to get fitted for one after saving the day at his <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/selena-gomez-married-benny-blanco-wedding-1236077192/">wedding</a> to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/selena-gomez/">Selena Gomez</a> last September. During a visit to <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!</em> on Thursday night (Feb. 26) with best bud Dave “Lil Dicky” Burd to discuss their new podcast, <em>Friends Keep Secrets</em>, Blanco revealed that his beloved misplaced her vows five days before the ceremony.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“For like, four days,” he said of Gomez’s missing vows. “And I found them, right before the wedding! They were handwritten.” For the record, Blanco swore he didn’t peek. “No, no, I didn’t look. I closed my eyes and handed them to her. I swear! I swear I didn’t look,” Blanco said. “But how good is it? It made me look so good. It was like the best thing I could have done. I’m about to marry her and then I find the thing? She was crying because she couldn’t find [them].”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Blanco also noted that before the wedding Gomez was going over her speech and called him to offer some pointers about Burd’s officiating duties. “She said, ‘Hey, just make sure Dave doesn’t say anything about this part or this part because it’s part of my speech,” Blanco told Kimmel. “And that was the whole opening three minutes of his speech.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I wanted to push back, but it was her wedding,” Burd added.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The pair described the originally awkward origin of their best friendship and how they now regularly have sleepovers and say “I love you” to each other before explaining why they got into a 15-minute argument over marinades during the first episode of the show they swear is not a podcast, but a hangout with friends. “I feel like it’s totally unresolved,” Burd complained. “He’s so wrong!” an agitated Blanco responded, continuing the bit while leaning into their hilariously aggro interpersonal dynamic. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And, yes, they tackled the internet outrage about Blanco’s dirty feet in the first episode of the not-podcast. “It’s the facility’s fault. It’s not mine,” Blanco insisted about the viral image of his grungy soles on Burd’s couch. To prove how great his feet are, Blanco then whipped off his shoes and insisted the camera zoom in on his foot. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Friday (Feb. 27), the duo — collectively known as Bashment Sound — dropped “Ballerina,” a scintillating fusion of Afrobeats and dancehall. To pull it off, they recruited Grammy-nominated Afro-rave champion <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/rema/">Rema</a> — and reunited with Jamaican dancehall star <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/skillibeng/">Skillibeng</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We wanted a record that feels like dancehall from Kingston, but still directly connects with the pulse of Lagos,” Addy explains to <em>Billboard</em> in their first official interview about their “Shake It to the Max” follow-up. “Rema and Skillibeng naturally represent both those worlds.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Like any great dancehall track, “Ballerina” was born in Jamrock. Addy and Neil linked Skillibeng while they were in Jamaica near the end of 2025, resulting in a studio session where the duo played the Saint Thomas-hailing artist several beats. Skillibeng “gravitated towards Ballerina immediately,” according to the duo, and the three artists wrote the song on the spot, ending up with a fully solo Skilli track.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Early on, Addy and Neil felt “Ballerina” would benefit from a feature, which makes sense considering “Shake It” reached its astounding cross-cultural heights by blending Jamaican dancehall from Skillibeng and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/shenseea/">Shenseea</a>, with Afropop elements courtesy of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/moliy/">MOLIY</a>. With Rema immediately coming to mind as their top choice, Addy connected with the arena-headlining star through a mutual contact at Platinum Grammar, an independent music publishing company.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I appreciate how much time Rema took to get the song to where we all wanted,” says Neil. “He’s been very vocal throughout the process and really locked in. You can feel that he respects the music.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Rema, of course, is no stranger to cross-genre collaborations or Caribbean rhythms. In 2023, he teamed up with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/skip-marley/">Skip Marley</a> to reimagine Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Them Belly Full (But We Hungry).” The year prior, he teamed up with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/selena-gomez/">Selena Gomez</a> for a new version of his own “Calm Down,” which ultimately became the highest-charting hit from an Afrobeats lead artist in <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> history (No. 3), as well as the ranking’s longest-charting African song. Across <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/reviews/rema-heis-album-review-1235732231/">HEIS</a>, </em>his unruly Grammy-nominated sophomore album, Rema incorporated unmistakable dancehall elements to round out his “Afro-rave” vision.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Ballerina” arrives alongside a cinematic music video directed by Miklas Manneke. The steamy clip blends sleek choreography and striking cinematography, as well as Rema-centric footage filmed in Nigeria. Notably, the new music video is also produced by We Own the City, a company owned by two-time Latin Grammy-nominated visual artist STILLZ, who creative directed Bad Bunny’s historic <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-medley-debut-billboard-charts-1236181091/">Super Bowl halftime show</a> earlier this month (Feb. 8).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The new single is a smart step forward for Bashment Sound, even as fans are still reeling from their Grammy snub. In November, <em>Billboard</em> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/shake-it-to-the-max-ineligible-2026-grammys-dancehall-gamma-1236117279/">exclusively reported</a> that “Shake It to the Max” was deemed ineligible for 2026 Grammy consideration due to its submission as a “remix.” Considering the murky justifications given by the Recording Academy, the absence of “Shake It” during the Nov. 7 nominations announcement proved to be one of the most controversial moments of this Grammy cycle.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We’ve both been in the music industry long enough to understand the politics of the Grammys. It’s not the end-all, be-all,” says Neil. “We were able to travel the world and see how that song really impacted the streets and the people, and that’s most important. It would be amazing to get that nod, but that’s not the only show of accomplishment. We were able to do the BET Awards, MTV Awards, etc.  But I definitely feel like it deserved a Grammy nomination, at least.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As Bashment Sound begins working “Ballerina,” they’re lining up a string of single-focused projects for the rest of the year, as opposed to a proper full-length project. “We have so many other records in the chamber,” teases Neil.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Naturally, some of the world’s biggest stars have been ringing the Bashment Sound line for a taste of their globe-conquering, dancehall-rooted riddims, but Silent Addy and Disco Neil are prioritizing working with dancehall artists from the Jamaican scene, particularly the ones who aren’t household names yet.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We’re always down to work with young talent who are undiscovered, but amazingly gifted,” Neil says, with Addy chiming in, “If we didn’t think this way, there wouldn’t be a ‘Shake It to the Max!’”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Check out Silent Addy, Disco Neil, Rema and Skillibeng’s new “Ballerina” music video below.</p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Recording Academy is taking the end of its deal with CBS as an opportunity to do a reset.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	February’s 68<sup>th</sup> annual Grammy Awards wound down a 10-year deal between the Academy and the network to broadcast the annual awards show and affiliated specials.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Starting in 2027, a new 10-year global deal brings the Grammy ceremony to ABC, Hulu and Disney+, <em>Billboard</em> can exclusively reveal.  The Academy will also produce a number of Grammy-branded music specials and programming across Disney platforms.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The Disney opportunity was an exciting threshold — or tipping point almost — for us as an Academy, because it is going to make us look at everything we’re doing. How can we do everything we’re doing and evolve it and be better?” Recording Academy CEO <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/harvey-mason-jr/">Harvey Mason Jr.</a> tells <em>Billboard</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Mason compares the situation to the reassessment that took place when he took over as CEO five years ago. “We’re using this moment as a chance to make sure that the academy and the Grammy organization is structured to best serve music people and to continue to grow our services and our programs.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	To help facilitate these changes, the Academy has appointed its first chief strategy officer, naming former Yellowbrick founder <strong>Ankit Dhir</strong> to the position last fall. Additionally, <strong>Branden Chapman</strong> has been promoted to chief global entertainment officer from chief operation officer and <strong>Sean Smith</strong> has been upped to chief communications and marketing officer from executive vice president. “[We’re] trying to evolve what we’re doing as an organization and bringing the most talent to our leadership team as possible,” Mason says.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Chief among the expansion plans is to grow the organization internationally to reflect the increasingly global nature of music. This effort is already underway and included inviting the 3,800 Latin Recording Academy voters to vote for the Grammy Awards last November, as well as the launch of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/recording-academy-grammy-house-giza-egypt/">Grammy House Giza</a>, a multi-day event coming in October that will celebrate music creation. Grammy House events have taken place in Los Angeles and New York, but the Egypt celebration will be the first out of the U.S.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Because music is becoming more and more global, I want to make sure our organization is positioned to reflect that and honor that,” Mason says, citing <em>K-Pop Demon Hunters</em>’ “Golden” win for best song written for visual media in February. Its triumph marked the first song from the K-pop genre to win a Grammy.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The global initiative also includes building membership in areas where music scenes are exploding, including Africa, Asia and the Middle East. “We’re going to continue to try and make sure that we’re honoring these not just from one part of the world, but from the entire world,” Mason says.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When asked if the Recording Academy would look at starting a new awards show that focused solely on international music or music from a specific region, such as Africa, Mason says, “I think it’s too early to talk specifically about that. I will say I’m working really closely with the Board of Trustees and our chair and our national leadership to make sure that we’re representing and serving music from all around the globe. What form that takes will evolve over the next few years.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Another central pillar is a content-first strategy. The Academy produced up to three specials with CBS outside of the Grammys annually and the plan is to increase that number greatly and with a broader range of options, both within the Disney deal and beyond.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“My hope is that we can celebrate more music and more music storytellers, more genres, more things that are happening in music ecosystem because there’s more happening than a show or a special,” Mason says.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Chapman, who oversees production and event division, artist relations, production and business development and the digital media team, helms Grammy Studios, the Academy’s in-house studio which has existed for two years but will greatly ramp up production on several different platforms.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Academy has more than 2.8 million subscribers on its <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@RecordingAcademy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>, which streams such short form programming as<em> Grammy Rewind</em> and <em>Road to Recognition</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While the Academy already mines the Grammys for short-form programming, Chapman plans to greatly expand its offerings. “Just taking a look at Grammy Week alone, we have 23 events that we do, most of which — aside from news coverage or red-carpet coverage — are private events,” he says. “We’re going to start taking a look at our entire event strategy, as well as launching new content and new events to expand our mission and our goal of serving music and its makers.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Among the Grammy-week events he plans to find a streaming or broadcast home is the MusiCares Person of the Year event, which features top music names honoring a superstar. The last time the tribute aired was on Netflix in 2021 when Dolly Parton was honored.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Person of the Year is absolutely one of the events that we see as a great opportunity to expand to a larger audience than just the invited guests,” Chapman says. “It is one of the opportunities we plan to take to Disney and expand into a traditional format.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Additionally, the Disney partnership offers other expansive rights and opportunities. “What I’m most excited about is to really, for the first time ever, get into formats that we haven’t traditionally been in before such as potentially a prime-time series,” Chapman explains. “It’s things that we haven’t traditionally done because we’ve been very focused on specials…I see a huge opportunity to expand into traditional series, potential documentaries and feature films,” he adds.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Disney will have first pass on many of the offerings, and Chapman says content could even roll out through the new deal before the 2027 Grammy Awards, though he also adds there is one more unannounced Grammy Salute that will air on CBS in May, which is when the current deal will sunset. Both the specials, and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/bad-bunny-olivia-dean-grammys-streaming-gains-trending-up-1236173252/">especially the Grammy Awards</a>, continue to provide a streaming and sales boost to many participating artists.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reiterating Mason’s global perspective, Chapman says, “It’s not just that viewing has changed or that the technology has changed,” he continues. “It’s how we as an academy have shifted our mission and look at the marketplace as a worldwide marketplace, not just a U.S. marketplace.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While Grammy Studios will take the lead on all its live events and will staff up accordingly, Chapman stresses that they will continue to work with many of its outside production partners such as Ben Winston’s Fulwell Entertainment and Jose´Tillan, who co-produced the <em>Grammy Salute to Latin Music.</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As the expansion into these areas occurs, there may also be a contraction of offerings that no longer serve the membership.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We will be probably pulling back from some things because our industry has changed,” Mason says, though he declined to offer specifics. “What the music community needs has changed, how we generate value and revenue and programs and activations for different people has changed… We have limited resources, we’re going to have to choose the things that are working and enhance those. Things that aren’t working, we’ll probably pull back from.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	One area the Academy won’t retreat from is advocacy. Mason says that area will likely grow as music creators face hurdles from areas like AI. “We’ll probably do more because it’s becoming more and more challenging for our people to protect their works, to monetize their works, or remain in control with approvals. Advocacy is going to be an area where you’re going to see growth,” Mason enthuses.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With an eye to the future, Mason also expects expansion in the academy’s education efforts. “I think we will double down on education and how we’re bringing in the next group of music people, not just songwriting, but business and A&R. We have to foster the next round of people that are going to run and lead our business and our creative sector.”</p>

	The <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bee-gees/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bee-gees/">Bee Gees</a> were on fire on Feb. 21, 1978, the day the 50th annual Oscar nominations were announced. The soundtrack to <em>Saturday Night Fever</em>, which featured a killer Disc 1 consisting entirely of songs they had written, was in is sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. And three of those Disc 1 songs were listed in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Stayin’ Alive” was in its fourth week at No. 1; “Night Fever” sprinted from No. 17 to No. 8 (on its way to an eight-week run at No. 1); and “How Deep Is Your Love,” which had held the top spot for three weeks over the holidays, was holding at No. 10.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So, their many fans were shocked when the nominations were announced that morning and the music from <em>Fever</em> was MIA. The film’s only nomination went to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-travolta/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/john-travolta/">John Travolta</a> for his performance as Tony Manero, a young Brooklyn man who escaped the drudgery of his job and his home life every night at a local disco.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/barry-gibb/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/barry-gibb/">Barry</a>, Robin and Maurice Gibb probably already knew things weren’t going to go their way. Their songs weren’t on the previously-released shortlist of seven songs vying for best original song or the shortlist of four song scores vying for best original song score and its adaptation or adaptation score. Then, as now, shortlists are based on votes of the Academy’s music committee. All members vote in the final round, which determines the winners.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So, what was nominated for best original song instead?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Two of the nominees had been smash hits. Debby Boone’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOShEUn0aA4" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOShEUn0aA4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">earnest cover version</a> of the power ballad “You Light Up My Life” from the film of the same name had just become the first song in Hot 100 history to log 10 weeks at No 1. Carly Simon’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWWwKDttHnM" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWWwKDttHnM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sly and sexy</a> recording of “Nobody Does It Better” from the James Bond caper <em>The Spy Who Loved Me</em> had logged three weeks at No. 2 (behind “You Light Up My Life”).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The other three nominees had not been major hits (which of course is not a requirement). They were “Candle on the Water,” <a rel="nofollow" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGbsrrkZm1s" data-type="link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGbsrrkZm1s" target="_blank">sung by Helen Reddy</a> in <em>Pete’s Dragon</em> (in which she starred); “The Slipper and the Rose Waltz (He Danced With Me/She Danced With Me),” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLlGokfLskY" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLlGokfLskY" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sung by Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven</a> in <em>The Slipper and the Rose – The Story of Cinderella</em>; and “Someone’s Waiting for You,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSubBnIadpA" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSubBnIadpA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">voiced by Shelby Flint</a> in the animated <em>The Rescuers</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Pete’s Dragon</em> and <em>The Slipper and the Rose – The Story of Cinderella</em> were also nominated for best original song score and its adaptation or adaptation score, as was a film adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical <em>A Little Night Music</em> (which included what may be the Broadway legend’s most classic song, “Send in the Clowns”).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Various explanations for the Bee Gees’ songs non-nomination have been floated over the years, so we went straight to the source and asked the Academy if their songs were indeed eligible and properly submitted. It turns out that five of the Bee Gees’ songs from <em>Saturday Night Fever</em> were eligible and were submitted: “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “If I Can’t Have You” and “More Than a Woman.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There was no limit at the time as to how many songs could be submitted from a film. <em>Fever</em> had the most song submissions that year. No other film had more than three songs in contention. Under current rules, no more than three songs from a film may be submitted and no more than two songs from a film may be shortlisted and nominated.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Whoever submitted songs from <em>Fever</em> probably erred in submitting so many songs. They may have had better luck if they had gone with one or two, with the anthemic “Stayin’ Alive” being the most logical choice. This appears to be a classic case of multiple entries “splitting the vote.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But other factors may have played a role too. Oscar voters in 1978 were not as attuned to popular music as they are today. Instead, they showed allegiance to past favorites in the category. Those three non-hits that were nominated were all written or co-written by past winners in the category. Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn, who had won twice in the ’70s for “The Morning After” and “We May Never Love Like This Again,” wrote “Candle on the Water.” The Sherman Brothers, who had won in 1965 for writing “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from <em>Mary Poppins</em>, wrote “The Slipper and The Rose Waltz (He Danced With Me/She Danced With Me”). Sammy Fain, who won twice in the ’50s for “Secret Love” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing,” co-wrote “Someone’s Waiting for You.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Two future standards, “Theme From New York, New York,” from the Robert DeNiro/Liza Minnelli musical of the same name, and “Greatest Love of All,” from the Muhammad Ali biopic <em>The Greatest</em>, were also eligible for best original song that same year. “Theme From New York, New York” was on the shortlist of seven songs in this category but was not nominated. “Greatest Love of All” wasn’t even shortlisted. “Theme From New York, New York” became a top 40 hit on the Hot 100 in 1980 after Frank Sinatra recorded it. “Greatest Love of All” became a No. 1 hit in 1986 after Whitney Houston recorded it. Of course, Oscar voters in early 1978 couldn’t have known what would happen to those songs in the future, but the original versions of the songs in the 1977 films were credible – Minnelli’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge7NiJuSpac" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge7NiJuSpac" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">show-stopper </a>“Theme From New York, New York” (which bubbled under the Hot 100) and George Benson’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzPMz7ybMNQ" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzPMz7ybMNQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tender version</a> of “Greatest Love of All” (which was a top 30 hit on the Hot 100).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At the Oscar ceremony on April 3, 1978,<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/fred-astaire/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/fred-astaire/"> Fred Astaire</a>, one of the most legendary stars in the history of music on film, presented the award for best original song.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	If things had played out differently in the nominations, he might have been able to say:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The nominees for outstanding original song this year are:</p>



<div class="container // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“Greatest Love of All” from <em>The Greatest</em> – Music by Michael Masser; Lyrics by Linda Creed</li>



<li>“Theme From New York, New York” from <em>New York, New York</em> – Music by John Kander; Lyrics by Fred Ebb</li>



<li>“Stayin’ Alive” from <em>Saturday Night Fever</em> – Music and Lyrics by Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb, Robin Gibb</li>



<li>“Nobody Does It Better” from <em>The Spy Who Loved Me</em> — Music by Marvin Hamlisch; Lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager</li>



<li>“You Light Up My Life” from <em>You Light Up My Life</em> — Music and Lyrics by Joseph Brooks</li>
</ul>
</div>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Now, <em>that </em>would have been an Oscar best song showdown for the ages.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As it was, the winner for best original song was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/joseph-brooks/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/joseph-brooks/">Joseph Brooks</a> for “You Light Up My Life.” The winner for best original song score and its adaptation or adaptation score was Jonathan Tunick for adapting Sondheim’s score for <em>A Little Night Music</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For the record, the other shortlisted song that didn’t go on to receive a nomination (besides “Theme From New York, New York” from <em>New York, New York</em>) was “What Was” from <em>The Late Show. </em>The one shortlisted song score that didn’t move forward was<em> New York, New York.</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Barry Gibb was passed over the following year as well with “Grease,” the title song of the Travolta/Olivia Newton-John blockbuster, which he wrote by himself. Frankie Valli’s recording of the song topped the Hot 100 for two weeks in the summer of 1978, but Oscar voters gave the song no love. “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” a torch ballad which John Farrar wrote as a solo showcase for Newton-John, was that film’s only nomination.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Even though the music from <em>Saturday Night Fever</em> didn’t get its due in the Oscar nominations, it has been honored elsewhere. The album won album of the year at the Grammys on Feb. 15, 1979, while “Stayin’ Alive” received nods for record and song of the year. The soundtrack was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004 and the National Recording Registry in 2012.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Oscar voters, we should hasten to add, have since gotten hipper. The very next year after the Bee Gees’ snub, best original song went to the Donna Summer smash “Last Dance.” That award has since gone to such contemporary fare as Irene Cara’s “Fame” and “Flashdance…What a Feeling,” Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away,” Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” and Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Salt-N-Pepa recently suffered a loss in their quest to regain control of their sound recordings by exercising their termination rights, a crucial federal copyright provision that allows authors to claw back their works decades after they sell them away. A federal judge <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/salt-n-pepa-master-recording-lawsuit-umg-dismissed-judge/">sided with their record label</a>, and seemed to endorse the view that “work for hire” language in recording artist contracts can be used to strip artists of that right. We think that decision is wrong, and a reminder that the promise of termination rights is in no way guaranteed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As we’ve seen first hand in our <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/musicians-win-back-music-rights-globally-appeals-court/">representation of Cyril Vetter</a>, industry intermediaries often seek to restrict termination rights in legally suspect ways. The “work for hire” exception at issue in the Salt-N-Pepa case (and others) is yet another example of an intermediary clinging to rights that ought to be returned. As disappointing as that may be, what’s more troubling is that we, as artist representatives, have propped up their efforts by including virtually identical “work for hire” language in agreements with producers, side artists, and other studio collaborators. Like record label agreements, this language assumes that the creative contributions of these collaborators can be owned as works made for hire. But, in fact, the law only recognizes two types of works made for hire, and neither is typically applicable to these agreements.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the first category are works made by employees pursuant to bona fide employment relationships.  In that case, the employer – not the creator – is considered the author. However, the vast majority of services provided in the creation of sound recordings are undertaken on an independent contractor basis. This is true as between artists and their labels as well as between artists and their studio collaborators. This lack of an employment relationship renders the first category of works made for hire largely irrelevant.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The second category is limited to a specific set of works made by non-employees. By law, to be an independent contractor work made for hire, the work must be specially ordered or commissioned (in writing) as such and the work must be one of the types of works listed in the Copyright Act as eligible to be a non-employee work made for hire. For example, translations, instructional texts, and test materials are listed as eligible. Crucially, “sound recordings” are nowhere to be found on that list.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Despite this, ownership-based recording agreements like Salt-N-Pepa’s invariably include “work for hire” language. At times, a record label will try to satisfy the requirements of the first category by classifying the recording artist as an employee for purposes of copyright law, but an independent contractor for tax and other purposes. This seems like an impossibly small needle to thread and is almost certainly unenforceable. Far more frequently, labels attempt to squeeze into the second category by taking the position that the creative contributions of recording artists can be owned as contributions to a “collective work” – a type of work that is on the list of eligible non-employee works made for hire.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This “collective work” argument has been around for a long time, but has been largely rejected by the courts in cases outside of the termination rights context. The labels know they’re on shaky legal ground. It’s why the recording industry unsuccessfully tried to amend the Copyright Act in the late ‘90s to expressly include sound recordings on the list of eligible works. It’s also why labels have generally been pretty quick to settle termination rights litigation brought by recording artists. But the Salt-N-Pepa case is a wake up call. What most of us may have considered a flimsy legal argument now has traction. And, as artist representatives, we shouldn’t assume that future courts won’t accept a legally suspect industry practice simply on the basis that it’s commonplace and longstanding.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So what to do? We’re not naive enough to think that “work for hire” language can be negotiated out of ownership-based record deals. But we should no longer allow record labels to control the narrative. Continuing to use their preferred language in our collaborator contracts is tantamount to an endorsement of a legal argument used to deny artists their termination rights.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The alternative we’ve adopted is simple: instead of “work for hire” language, we include an unconditional and irrevocable disclaimer by the collaborator of any intent to be a joint author of the sound recording copyright. Courts have held that a written contract between creative collaborators evidencing intent to be or not to be joint authors is dispositive of the issue. Therefore, a written waiver of joint authorship status by the collaborator leaves the principal artist with sole copyright ownership of the sound recording from inception, thereby accomplishing what “work for hire” language dubiously attempts. But to remove any doubt, immediately following the waiver of joint authorship, we tack on a contingent copyright assignment by the collaborator in favor of the artist. With that safety valve, this alternative becomes unimpeachable.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There are, of course, likely other alternatives and we welcome further discussion on the best way forward. Most importantly, however, any alternative must avoid the doublethink required to argue, on one hand, that record deal “work for hire” language is ineffective and can’t be used to avoid statutory termination rights, but on the other, that artists can use that same language in agreements with their collaborators. At bottom, we urge our artist representative colleagues to treat the sound recording “work for hire” language as the shell game that it is. A good start would be to stop making each other play the game.</p>

	<em>Sinners</em> also won awards on Wednesday for outstanding cinematography in a motion picture and outstanding stunt ensemble (television or motion picture.) <em>Gracie’s Corner, Ironheart, Straw</em> and <em>Celebrity Family Feud</em> also won multiple awards on Wednesday.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In other categories, <em>Being Eddie</em>, a Netflix doc about comedian <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/eddie-murphy/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/eddie-murphy/">Eddie Murphy</a>, won outstanding documentary (film), and the late <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/malcolm-jamal-warner-death-1236026279/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/malcolm-jamal-warner-death-1236026279/">Malcolm-Jamal Warner</a> won outstanding guest performance for <em>Murder in a Small Town</em>. Warner, who rose to fame in the 1980s on <em>The Cosby Show</em>, died on July 20 at age 54 from drowning after being caught in a strong current.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Grand jury proceedings are secret, and until recently there were no public documents confirming whether the “Romantic Homicide” singer (real name David Burke) was a target of the investigation. That has now changed with the revelation of documents filed by D4vd’s family members seeking to avoid traveling from their home in Texas to California to testify for the grand jury.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Petitions filed this month by D4vd’s parents, Colleen and Dawud Burke, and his younger brother, Caleb, attach subpoenas for a case titled “People of the State of California v. David Burke.” In these previously sealed documents, prosecutors from the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office specifically describe D4vd as a “target” of investigation for potential murder charges.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It is alleged in this case that the target may be involved in the death of 14-year-old victim Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who may have been the victim of foul play,” wrote prosecutors. “Her severely decomposed, dismembered body was found in the front trunk of Target’s Tesla on Sept. 8, 2025.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The petition also reveals some disturbing details about the state of the body when it was discovered by police officers following reports of a strong odor coming from the impounded car. According to the documents, the car contained two separate black cadaver bags, one with a decomposed head and torso and another with severed arms and legs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A Texas appeals court is still considering whether to order the Burke family to testify in the D4vd investigation. No charges have been filed in the case so far.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reps for the family declined to comment on the matter on Wednesday (Feb. 25). D4vd’s lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	D4vd <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/d4vd-body-car-career-everything-we-know/2023-d4vd-drops-his-debut-eps-petals-to-thorns-and-the-lost-petals/">got his start</a> in music while livestreaming video games in the early 2020s, and his first single “Romantic Homicide” went viral on TikTok in July 2022. The song eventually peaked at No. 33 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a>, and he followed up with the No. 60 single “Here With Me.” D4vd quickly got noticed by the major record labels, and he signed with Darkroom/Interscope Records in September 2022.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After releasing two EPs and opening for SZA’s blockbuster SOS Tour in 2023, D4vd dropped his debut album <em>Withered</em> this past April. The album opened at No. 13 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a>, and he embarked on a headlining tour in August.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But D4vd’s career came to an abrupt halt with the discovery of Rivas’ body on Sept. 8. The remaining dates of his Withered World Tour were <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/d4vd-tour-canceled-body-found-in-his-car-1236070684/">canceled</a> and Interscope seemed to shelve a deluxe version of the album that had been set for release on Sept. 19.</p>

	During the conversation, Clarkson asked Bunnie about what it was like meeting Jelly Roll and how the couple’s love came to be. Bunnie explained that when they met, she was fresh out of a relationship and not looking for love.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“And then here comes this cute, chubby-cheeked Southern man who just drew me in,” Bunnie said. Bunnie says the country swinger was very different from anyone she’s ever met before and that he “swept me off my feet.” They eloped after being together for only a month.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The beginnings of their marriage were a rocky road. Bunnie says that the duo are very different now than they were back then. She says that at the time, they struggled to navigate being together as people from completely different backgrounds. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We were both just so hard-headed and stubborn,” she explains before saying there was a lot of toxicity in the beginning of their relationship. She then drops the bomb that Jelly engaged in a nearly yearlong affair. When she found out, she was heartbroken — but used the situation as an opportunity to look inward.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Instead of looking at him and being like, ‘This is your fault,’ I looked within myself and was like, ‘Why do I keep attracting these types of men?'” Bunnie told Clarkson. Likewise, Jelly also did some soul-searching to better understand his patterns of behavior. Afterward, the duo sought professional help and partook in therapy together.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bunnie then answered the one question on everyone’s mind: Why didn’t she leave him? “I did,” she said. “I left, and he came and got me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She said that she gave him a second chance because she felt like she had received so many in her own life, and she truly believed that he deserved one as well.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I gave it to him, and it is the best decision I’ve ever made,” she said. But watch out, Jelly Roll: Second chances are your final chances. “Will he get a third? Absolutely f—ing not,” Bunnie said to laughter and applause from the audience.</p>

	A Texas man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for causing a head-on car crash that killed <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dixie-chicks/">Dixie Chicks</a> founding member <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/laura-lynch-dead-dixie-chicks-founding-member-dies-obituary-1235564890/">Laura Lynch</a> in December 2023.</p>

	The El Paso County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday that Domenick Chavez, 33, received the jail sentence after pleading guilty to manslaughter. According to prosecutors, crash reconstruction experts determined that Chavez was driving between 106 and 114 miles per hour when he <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/laura-lynch-dead-dixie-chicks-founding-member-dies-obituary-1235564890/">crashed into Lynch’s car</a> on U.S. Highway 62/180 in Dell City, Texas.</p>

	“The death of Ms. Lynch caused profound sadness for her family, the Dell City community and all those who appreciated her music,” said El Paso DA James Montoya in a statement. “It is a loss made more acute by the fact that it happened just days before Christmas. Our office will continue to hold accountable those defendants who choose to drive in an extremely dangerous manner.”</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lynch co-founded the Dixie Chicks, now known as The Chicks, alongside Robin Lynn Macy, Martie Erwin and Emily Erwin in 1989. Initially, the country group’s upright bass player and later its lead singer, Lynch performed on the albums <em>Thank Heavens for Dale Evans</em> (1990), <em>Little Ol’ Cowgirl</em> (1992) and <em>Shouldn’t a Told You That</em> (1993) before departing the act in 1993. She was ultimately replaced by Natalie Maines.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At the time of Lynch’s death at age 65, the current members of The Chicks posted on Instagram that they were “shocked and saddened” by the news.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We hold a special place in our hearts for the time we spent playing music, laughing and traveling together,” wrote the group. “Laura was a bright light…her infectious energy and humor gave a spark to the early days of our band.  Laura had a gift for design, a love of all things Texas and was instrumental in the early success of the band. Her undeniable talents helped propel us beyond busking on street corners to stages all across Texas and the mid-West.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lawyers for Chavez and Lynch’s estate did not immediately return <em>Billboard</em>‘s requests for comment on Wednesday (Feb. 25).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Chavez, a resident of El Paso County, was indicted in June 2024. The DA’s office alleges he recklessly attempted to pass four vehicles simultaneously on a two-way undivided highway and collided head-on with Lynch’s car. According to prosecutors, Lynch was trapped inside the catastrophically damaged car and died from her injuries.<br><br>The DA’s office says Chavez was driving on a suspended license stemming from prior convictions for driving while intoxicated, though alcohol was not a factor in this incident.</p>

	<em>DEPR</3$$ED MFKZ</em>, which meanes ‘Depressed Motherf—ers, starts with 32,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week of Feb. 13-19, according to Luminate. Most of the album’s starting sum stems from streaming activity —equating to 33.4 million official streams of the album’s tracks (minimal activity derives from traditional album sales and track-equivalent units from song sales).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>DEPR</3$$ED MFKZ</em> is the fifth No. 1 for Junior H on the Regional Mexican Albums chart. It follows <em><a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/junior-h-sad-boyz-4-life-ii-top-latin-albums-chart-1235446069/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/junior-h-sad-boyz-4-life-ii-top-latin-albums-chart-1235446069/">$ad Boyz 4 Life II</a></em>, which peaked at No. 1 in Sept. 2025 and dominated for 10 consecutive weeks —his longest coronation. The latter contained eight songs crediting Valenzuela as a songwriter.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to its No. 1 start on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/regional-mexican-albums" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/regional-mexican-albums">Regional Mexican Albums</a>, <em>DEPR</3$$ED MFKZ</em> launches at No. 3 on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-albums" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-albums">Top Latin Albums</a>, marking the sixth top 10 for Junior H.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Valenzuela — a <em>corridos tumbados</em> singer-songwriter from Guanajuato, Mexico, — made his <em>Billboard </em>chart debut just a month ago, when “Mi Gata,” the album’s lead single, debuted at Nos. 10 and 14 on the Hot Regional Mexican Songs and Hot Latin Songs charts, respectively (dated Jan. 24). On this week’s ranking, “Mi Gata” climbs to No. 8 on the <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-regional-mexican-songs/">Hot Regional Mexican Songs</a> chart.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Adding to <em>DEPR</3$$ED MFKZ</em>’s splash across the charts, 13 songs from the album reach the multi-metric <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs">Hot Latin Songs </a>chart, which combines radio airplay, streaming date and digital sales. “Droga Letal” with Peso Pluma, the album’s only collaborator, leads the new recruits, debuting at No. 12, mostly powered by 3.9 million official streams registered during the tracking period. The sum leads a No. 16 start on <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-streaming-songs" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-streaming-songs">Latin Streaming Songs</a>, likewise Valenzuela’s first entry there.

	Goodbyes usually don’t last forever, but if you’re the Eagles, maybe they do.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Wednesday (Feb. 25) the legendary rock outfit announced a third leg of their aptly named “The Long Goodbye” farewell tour. This new three-show run will hit three U.S. stadiums: Atlanta’s Truist Park on May 5, Nashville’s FirstBank Stadium at Vanderbilt University on May 9 and Arlington, Texas’ Globe Life Field on May 16.

	After more than 50 years of touring, the “Hotel California” group first announced “The Long Goodbye” in July 2023. Since embarking on the tour that September, the band has performed hundreds of shows worldwide, including a record-breaking residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas — which they’ve also <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/eagles-announce-final-2026-dates-at-sphere-las-vegas-1236110164/">extended this year</a>.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Eagles hold the record for the best-selling album of all time in the U.S. with <em>Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)</em>, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Last month, they became the first band ever to earn <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/eagles-greatest-hits-first-quadruple-diamond-album-riaa-1236160222/">RIAA Quadruple Diamond certification</a> with the same album.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The group’s current lineup comprises founding member Don Henley alongside Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, son of late founding member Glenn Frey. There’s no word yet whether this new string of shows will be the last for the band, but Henley has previously made it clear that 2026 will mark the end of the road for the Eagles.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I think this year will probably be <em>it</em>,” Henley stated in a recent interview with <em>CBS Sunday Morning</em>. “I feel like we’re getting toward the end, and that will be fine too.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fans hoping to catch the Eagles on what may be their final shows ever can sign up for ticket presale access now at on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://eagles.com/pages/tour" target="_blank">the band’s website</a>. Presale begins Tuesday (March 3) at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale opening up March 6.</p>

	On Wednesday (Feb. 25), Meg shared a video to her Instagram and TikTok accounts that has fans searching for answers. The 15-second clip features the Houston-based rapper lip-syncing and dancing along to a snippet of a previously unheard verse set to Juvenile’s comeback hit “B.B.B.,” featuring Genesisthegawd. In the caption, Megan tags the iconic rapper, writing, “BBB ft ME @juviethegreat *eyes looking emoji* when you gonna drop it.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Though Juvenile has yet to respond directly to the Hot Girl Coach’s inquiry, we may get the remix sooner than we think. Juvenile reposted the video on TikTok, and just hours before Megan’s post, he did an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dti4IBuiWbo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">St. Petersburg, Florida, radio station WiLD 94.1</a>, where he spoke about the new single and the potential collaboration.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You know, I’m a millennial, so thank you for giving us millennial girlies a new anthem,” host Babs says to the rapper. “‘B.B.B.’ going viral on TikTok.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When making the song, Juvenile knew he had a hit on his hands — one specifically for his generation. “I listened to [the beat] and I just thought about it and I said, ‘Hmm, let me do a song that relates millennials, me, people like me.'”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He realized his mission was accomplished after seeing a TikTok of a woman saying that he and fellow rapper T.I. can’t keep making music like this because it’s going to have her injuring herself trying to dance like she used to back in the day. “That got me right there,” he says. “It’s been all women, all millennials.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Babs followed up by saying what’s been front of mind for many online: On Feb. 5, TikTok user <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8xBJBGH/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@horram.ky</a> posted a snippet of “B.B.B.” with the caption “This is the first time I hear [a] man match Megan’s flow on a song.” Many comments agreed, with one responding, “That’s the first thing I said. I said he [needs] to get Megan on this phone ASAP.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Babs brought this discussion to Juvenile directly, mentioning that a lot of people are hoping Megan will hop on the remix. “How you don’t know she haven’t?” the “Back That Azz Up” rapper replied cryptically. “Shout-out to Megan, that’s all I gotta say. Megan Thee Stallion is uploading.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	So now that we know the remix is possible, there’s one question left for Juvenile, straight from Thee Stallion’s mouth: When you gonna drop it?</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/whitney-houston/">Whitney Houston</a>‘s “I Have Nothing” is one of the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/top-breakup-songs-all-time/whitney-houston-i-have-nothing/">greatest breakup songs of all time</a> — and at least 1 billion people agree.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Earlier this month, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxYw0XPEoKE&list=RDFxYw0XPEoKE&start_radio=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">music video</a> for the powerhouse ballad — the third single from the soundtrack of <em>The Bodyguard</em>, Houston’s 1992 film debut — reached 1 billion views on YouTube. Released as a single after the successes of “<a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/whitney-houston-i-will-always-love-you-rewinding-the-charts-1992/">I Will Always Love You</a>” and “I’m Every Woman,” “I Have Nothing” peaked on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> at No. 4. Meanwhile, the <em>Bodyguard</em> soundtrack spent 20 weeks atop the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> albums chart and is also the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/whitney-houston-bodyguard-top-soundtrack-all-time-1236006864/">highest RIAA-certified</a> soundtrack of all time.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This is Houston’s second music video from The Bodyguard to join YouTube’s Billion Views Club: With more than 1.8 billion views so far, the video for her blockbuster cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” could be on track to surpass 2 billion views in the coming months.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The modern-day success of “I Have Nothing” appears to have happened organically: The song isn’t currently trending on social media and hasn’t been revived by a current TV show or film. The ballad is a masterclass in vocals, and its enduring success speaks to Houston’s timeless legacy.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fans of the late legend are celebrating the song’s accomplishment online. “Congratulations Whitney! Still making history!” one commenter wrote on the r/whitneyhouston <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/whitneyhouston/comments/1rblmjw/shes_done_it_whitneys_i_have_nothing_has/" target="_blank">subreddit</a> announcing the milestone. “Im sure 675 million of these streams were me,” another said in response to a post by Facebook fan page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ForTheLoveOfWhitney/posts/whitney-houston-just-made-youtube-history-again-i-have-nothing-has-officially-su/1465535508277474/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">For The Love of Whitney</a>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/alice-ivy/">Alice Ivy</a> collected producer of the year and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ninajirachi/">Ninajirachi</a> snagged a brace at the 2026 MPEG Awards, presented Wednesday night (Feb. 25) in Sydney, ensuring female studio professionals dominated the annual ceremony.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ivy (real name: Annika Schmarsel) has been on a year-long hot streak, collecting multiple trophies at the 2025 MPEG Awards and cleaning up at last year’s AIR Awards in Adelaide. When her name was called out for producer of the year, MPEG’s top honor, the German-born, Melbourne-based creative noted a shift for the good in the studio landscape.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“You know, PinkPantheress has just won <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/pinkpantheress-brit-awards-producer-prize-first-woman-1236180533/">producer of the year at the BRIT Awards</a>,” she remarked. “That award has existed for 47 years and it’s the first time a female has won it. So I feel like the universe is colliding. Which is really, really cool.” She added, “It’s so amazing seeing the girls get up this year.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ninajirachi, too, is coming off a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/ninajirachi-dominates-triple-j-awards-1236111978/">brilliant year</a> on the awards circuit, all of it reward for her debut studio album <em>I Love My Computer.</em> The producer, DJ and artist, who is currently abroad on tour, added self-producing artist of the year and breakthrough producer to her heaving trophy cabinet. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I have been producing music since I was a young girl,” she remarked on a pre-recorded video accepting the breakthrough award. “I taught myself a bunch of software when I was a little girl and I think it’s something I’m going to be doing until I die. Basically I love producing music so much. I really feel like more of a producer than any other role of being an artist, truly.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As previously reported, veteran hitmaker <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/mike-chapman-lifetime-achievement-australia-mpeg-awards-1236155483/">Mike Chapman</a> was recognized with the lifetime achievement award. Baby Animals bandmates Suze DeMarchi and Dave Leslie were on hand to induct Chapman, a studio legend who turned their debut album into the musical equivalent of precious metal. Or in his own words, “one of the best rock albums ever.”</p>

	In a pre-taped thank-you, Chapman offered “one little warning. AI is here. AI is a challenge. And it’ll be more so going forward. So, if you use it, use it with respect and care. And remember, we are in the business of trying to make rock stars, not robots.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	All nominees were selected following an open submission process, with entries assessed by a panel of carefully selected judges based on work released during the eligibility period.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s been a truly insane February for <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny">Bad Bunny</a>, who began his month by winning album of the year at the Grammys, followed it up by headlining halftime at Super Bowl LX the next week, and now makes it three weeks of headlines in a row by taking over the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100">Billboard Hot 100</a> in historic fashion.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Puerto Rican superstar notches 18 songs on the Hot 100 this week’s chart (dated Feb. 21) — most from his 2025 album <em>Debí Tirár Mas Fotos</em>, but also including a handful of catalog hits dating back to 2019 — with four of those songs reaching the top 10, three of which hit new peaks on the chart. One of them is “DtMF,” which tops the chart for the first time (after previously hitting No. 2 in early 2025), making it both his first No. 1 as an unaccompanied artist, and the first predominantly Spanish-language song to reach the top since Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s Justin Bieber-featuring “Despacito” in 2017.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	How long will the takeover last? And is Bad Bunny now the biggest pop star on the planet? <em>Billboard</em> staffers answer these questions and more below. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>1. Bad Bunny owns 18 entries on the Hot 100 this week, including four of the top 10 and both of the top two — with “DtMF” marking his first-ever unaccompanied No. 1 hit. Is this kind of post-Super Bowl bump for him bigger, smaller, or about what you expected from him?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Kyle Denis</strong>: This is exactly what I expected. Bad Bunny is a monster on streaming, and the project that anchored his halftime set is just over a year old. In fact, he’s still touring it! Between that overall momentum and the boost of his historic album of the year Grammy win earlier this month, the stage was perfectly set for a massive streaming boost post-Super Bowl.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: A bit bigger. I expected to see a bump, of course, but to see him dominating in this way is only further proof of what a smashing success his halftime show was. He delivered such a spectacular set — and message — that it’s nice to imagine this bump being from fans old and new. For the longtime crowd, Bad Bunny delivered exactly what we hoped for (and then some). And for the less-familiar crowd, I would bet they’re still doing a deep dive into all he has to offer.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Sigal Ratner-Arias</strong>: I am not surprised at all by these numbers. Bad Bunny has consistently reached the top of charts including the coveted Billboard 200, where four of his albums have been No. 1. The interest generated by his Super Bowl performance – plus the controversy surrounding his selection as the halftime show headliner from the very moment it was announced – led to old and new fans, as well as detractors and curious people, to listen to his music. And it really paid off.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Roiz</strong>: Honestly, I expected him to dominate the Hot Latin Songs chart following the Super Bowl, but never thought he would have such a massive presence on the Hot 100. This, to me, is only a reflection of his real star power, whether you’re a fan of his music or not. What impresses me most is that the No. 1 and No. 2 spots are taken by a modern plena song and a traditional salsa tune — far from the very popular reggaetón and música Mexicana genres.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: If it is surprising, it’s not very. We already saw how Bad Bunny’s numbers just following the Grammys — where he didn’t even perform — so for him to play so many of these songs during the most-watched TV event of the year, to millions of folks who might not have been even able to name a Bad Bunny song previously, was always going to have a majorly galvanizing impact. But it’s still hard to predict anyone will chart 18 songs in a week when he hasn’t even released an album in the past year. </p>

	<strong>2. Last year, Kendrick Lamar also swarmed the top of the Hot 100 following his Super Bowl show, and eventually used the momentum to land the longest-lasting No. 1 hit of his career in “Luther” with SZA. Do you see Bad Bunny doing something like that with “DtMF” (or one of his other revived hits), or do you think the bump will be shorter-lasting for him? </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Kyle Denis</strong>: Because “Luther” was barely a few months old, I think it had a bit of an advantage over “DtMF” given that the latter is a year old and has already had a stint in the top 10. It’s entirely plausible that it sticks around with an even greater shelf-life post-Super Bowl, but I think the boost will slowly subside in the coming weeks as the charts recalibrate.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: I mean, nothing says new era like a completely wiped Instagram account. It’s possible that Benito will also use his Super Bowl momentum to lead into new music. And if he does, I can definitely see it being (if you can believe it, following a historic Grammy win and halftime show set) his biggest cycle yet.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Sigal Ratner-Arias</strong>: Before the Super Bowl, “DtMF” spent 46 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart since January 2025, but only reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. This is not his first No. 1 on this chart – he previously reached the top with “I Like It,” his collab with Cardi B & J Balvin – but it is his first as a solo artist. So, regardless of how many weeks he spends at the summit, it’s already a historic achievement for Bad Bunny — and this is no small feat, given his many records and accomplishments.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Roiz</strong>: Personally, and only because it’s my favorite song right now — and it was named the No. 1 Latin song of 2025 by <em>Billboard</em> editors — I wouldn’t mind seeing “Baile Inolvidable” eventually take the lead. Either way, I’m not sure how long Bad Bunny will dominate the Hot 100 chart for, but if he goes on two weeks or beyond, he will break his own longest-leading record. Prior to “DtMF” reaching No. 1, Bad Bunny topped the chart for one week in 2018 with his appearance alongside Cardi B and J Balvin on “I Like It.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: I don’t know if “DtMF” will end up a 13-week No. 1 like “Luther” — it already had a pretty good and long chart run last year — but I don’t think it’s gonna disappear next week either, or any time soon. A lot of people are catching onto it for the first time, and just based on the number of times I’ve heard the song in videos on social media or out in the wild in the weeks since the Grammys, folks are more excited about it than ever right now. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>3. “DtMF” marks the first predominantly Spanish-language No. 1 since “Despacito” in 2017. Are you surprised it’s been that long? Do you think we’re more likely to see more of them now that Bad Bunny’s broken through like this?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Kyle Denis</strong>: I’m not entirely surprised, but it does feel like it should have happened sooner. As far as I’m concerned, “Tití Me Preguntó” was a multi-week No. 1 smash! While it’s incredible to see “DtMF” at the top, it took a well-timed 1-2 punch of Grammys and Super Bowl weekend to get there. That kind of timing is very rare, so I’m not too sure we’re more likely to see more predominantly Spanish-language Hot 100 No. 1s in the years to come. I’d be more hopeful if U.S. top 40 radio routinely got on board with predominantly Spanish-language songs without remixes from non-Latin artists. Some perspective: Benito has yet to reach the top 10 of Radio Songs with a solo song, and “DtMF” has yet to see any of the chart’s 50 positions.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But if anyone can rewrite the rules of language and dialect at top 40 radio in the 2020s, it’s probably Bad Bunny.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: I’m not surprised, no. When you think of a song like “Despacito,” that took over the conversation, the culture and clearly the charts. It’s become a sonic time capsule. But, at the same time, it was also the peak (so far) for Luis Fonsi. An artist like Bad Bunny is quite the opposite, rather than just one song dominating the conversation and culture it is Bad Bunny <em>himself</em> in that position. So, while I do think it’s a possibility we will see more Spanish-language No. 1s, I think if anything Bad Bunny has proven how difficult it really is to get here — and how even at the top, he’s <em>still </em>battling detractors. All is to say, it’s a longer, harder road for Spanish speaking artists to achieve such mainstream acclaim, but it seems Benito is reshaping that path.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Sigal Ratner-Arias</strong>: We all knew “Despacito” would open more doors and ears for Spanish-language music – even though the version that hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 was the one featuring Justin Bieber, with his lyrics in English. A lot has happened in nine years in the music industry, so I hope to see more opportunities now that Bad Bunny has broken through like this. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Roiz</strong>: Yes, it’s surprising that it took almost a decade for a Latin song to hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, but it’s even more shocking that none of the biggest songs on the Hot Latin Songs history reflected in feat: “Bailando” by Enrique Iglesias, December Bueno and Gente de Zona, which spent 41 weeks at the top or Shakira and Alejandro Sanz’s “La Tortura,” which spent 25, would have been deserving of a Hot 100 No. 1 spot. Now, the Super Bowl halftime show definitely sparked an interest in Bad Bunny’s music, and hopefully that will translate to wider Latin music consumption, resulting in more No. 1 Latin songs sooner rather than later!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: It’s been such a globally explosive period for Spanish-language music over the past decade that even though there’s no one song I would say definitely feels like a No. 1 hit that didn’t end up actually being one, it is still a little surprising that no song has gotten there since 2017. But if nothing else, I imagine it will be a shorter distance for Bad Bunny himself to get back to No. 1 than ever before. <br><br><strong>4. Do you think Bad Bunny will take advantage of this moment by quickly returning to the studio to record new music, or do you think he’ll take more of a break following the summation of his tour this summer? What would you advise him to do if you were on his team? </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Kyle Denis</strong>: Human to human – take a break! My guy has been grinding non-stop for almost two years; I hope he’s able to take a few months for himself — especially considering his heightened fame. Nonetheless, Bad Bunny lives in the studio. In fact, he’s never taken more than a year and a half between studio albums (and that’s not counting the mixtapes and collaborative projects he’s dropped along the way). I fully expect him to have some new music ready by the summertime, if not to celebrate the tour’s conclusion. And that makes total sense! Why not take advantage of the recent expansion of your already massive fanbase?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: I think he may have already been in the studio. And I think he may already know exactly what’s next. If I were on his team, I’d say let this moment breath, drop a project that goes on to become the second Spanish-language Album of the Year winner and then, just when he’s feeling rested, return to the stage to headline … well, with Coachella and the Super Bowl under his belt, he can really tackle whatever stage he wants.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Sigal Ratner-Arias</strong>: As a prolific hitmaker, Bad Bunny has never been an artist who can spend much time away from the studio. Even when he’s said he’s taking a break, he’s surprised his fans shortly after not with a single but with a full album. I believe that will be the case now that the Super Bowl is over, although it may take a little longer because of his current world tour. I have no advice to offer; I expect him to continue evolving musically while staying true to his Puerto Rican roots and keep spreading a much-needed message of Latin pride and unity.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Roiz</strong>: Bad Bunny is very unpredictable, and if his 2020 album title <em>YHLQMDLG</em> (yo hago lo que me de la gana) is any indication, he truly does whatever he wants, and there’s no advising him. But I do think he’s at the recording studio creating new music. Following the Super Bowl, he immediately removed all the content from his Instagram account, which has been a strategy in the past when he’s about to drop a surprise album.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: If I had to bet, it would be on a bit of a break from music for the rest of 2026 — but if he released an album in the next three months, I also wouldn’t be shocked at all. Regardless, I don’t think he can really lose, whether he takes his time with the next project or jumps back in immediately. The only advice I’d give him is to make sure the next project is something he’s really passionate about, and that isn’t chasing what anyone else is currently doing: Bad Bunny’s long proven to be his most successful when he’s setting the trends, rather than following them. <br><br><strong>5. Is Bad Bunny now the biggest pop superstar on the planet?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Kyle Denis</strong>: I mean, c’mon… without question!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Lyndsey Havens</strong>: He’s up there, for sure. And deservedly so. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Sigal Ratner-Arias</strong>: Yes. For how long? I don’t know. But as the numbers show, today, he is.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Jessica Roiz</strong>: Yes. No ifs, ands, or buts.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Andrew Unterberger</strong>: Taylor Swift is maybe still a little bigger. But if she is, she’s the only one.</p>

	R&B singer <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kenny-lattimore/">Kenny Lattimore</a> has received only a single royalty check since the release of his latest album — and now he’s taking distributor SRG/ILS Group to court.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lattimore filed a lawsuit on Wednesday (Feb. 18) against SRG, which handles digital distribution for indie labels in partnership with Universal Music Group’s Virgin Music. The lawsuit, first obtained and reported by <em>Billboard</em>, claims SRG owes him at least $100,000 in royalties for his 2021 album <em>Here to Stay</em>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Artists pour their heart, soul and life experience into the music we create,” Lattimore says of the lawsuit. “In today’s streaming world, earning a sustainable living from that work is already a challenge. So to then be denied royalties from the limited pool that exists in the first place isn’t just disappointing — it’s unjust. When creators aren’t paid for the very art that fuels the industry, that’s not a glitch in the system. It’s a travesty.”</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to the complaint, Lattimore’s distribution deal created a 50-50 split of recorded royalties between SRG and the singer’s Sincere Soul Records. Lattimore alleges <em>Here to Stay </em>did well and reached full recoupment status by 2022, with the single Take a Dose” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/kenny-lattimore-take-dose-number-1-adult-rb-airplay-chart/">hitting No. 1</a> on <em>Billboard</em>‘s Adult R&B Airplay chart. Yet despite this success, SRG has allegedly sent Lattimore just a single royalty check in the years since — a 2023 payment of just $4,400.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The lawsuit claims SRG has likely withheld more than $100,000 in royalties from Lattimore. But the singer says he hasn’t been able to ascertain the full tally because SRG hasn’t sent him proper royalty statements, even after he initiated an audit in 2024.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“SRG deliberately and systematically obstructed the audit process by refusing to produce essential source documentation, rejecting reasonable and industry-standard confidentiality accommodations and preventing any meaningful independent verification of its accounting,” write Lattimore’s lawyers.</p>

	Lattimore alleges that SRG and its CEO, <strong>Claude Villani</strong>, then tried to “intimidate and pressure” him into abandoning the audit. According to the complaint, SRG executive vp <strong>Dominique Zgarka</strong> told Lattimore in 2025, “I can guarantee you that Claude’s patience is running out, and you can expect some form of counterclaim/lawsuit to come from SRG-ILS unless this matter is settled in short order.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The lawsuit also alleges that SRG’s conduct here was “not an isolated incident.” Lattimore says SRG “has engaged in a broader pattern and practice of similar misconduct toward other recording artists,” including withholding royalties from singer <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/j-brown/">J. Brown</a> and the R&B group After 7.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lattimore’s lawsuit brings claims for breach of contract and deceptive business practices. He’s requested a court-ordered accounting to determine the proper amount of past-due royalties that SRG must pay, plus financial damages for the alleged wrongdoing.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The singer’s attorney, <strong>Felton Newell, </strong>said in a statement, “Artists deserve transparency and to be paid what they earn. After repeated demands and an obstructed audit process, Mr. Lattimore was left with no choice but to file suit. This case is about enforcing clear contractual rights and addressing unfair business practices.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Lattimore, who’s been a pillar of R&B music since the 1990s, tells <em>Billboard </em>that he hopes the lawsuit will serve as “a blueprint for younger artists that don’t have resources or the know-how to pursue the things that are owed to them.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Sometimes you don’t volunteer to be the advocate and to be the person who stands up for everybody, but sometimes God chooses you to be that,” adds Lattimore. “We’re not just doing this for me. We’re doing this for artists and for our rights, for things to be done properly in this business.”  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A rep for SRG did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday (Feb. 18).</p>

	Great Day Records CEO Caroline “Baroline” Diaz, who worked with Poppa in the early stages of his career, also paid homage on X. “My little brother is gone,” Diaz wrote. “Poppa I love you so much. I am so broken. One of the first artists I had at Interscope. A&R’ed 4 of his projects. I’m so sad right now.”</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jelly-roll/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jelly Roll</a> might be significantly smaller following his weight loss, but according to Bunnie Xo, his — ahem — manhood has only done the opposite amid the singer’s health journey.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a candid interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday (Feb. 17), the podcaster didn’t hold back when asked about how her sex life with her husband has changed since he’s dropped a few hundred pounds. “He’s getting his confidence back, and he’s peacocking around,” Bunnie told the radio host, according to <em><a href="https://people.com/bunnie-xo-jelly-roll-penis-severely-bigger-after-weight-loss-11908984" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">People</a></em>. “He’s got a little strut in his step, and I think it’s just the cutest thing.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bunnie went on to share, “I will tell you that it is very true that when a man loses weight, it grows a lot.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Noting that the country star’s appendage has gotten “severely bigger” in the past few years, the <em>Dumb Blonde </em>host added of her partner, “Oh God, he’s gonna kill me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jelly has been on a weight-loss mission for a few years now, revealing in a January <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/jelly-roll-weight-loss-mens-health-1236148223/"><em>Men’s Health </em>cover </a>story that he’d shed 275 pounds at that point. Though frequent exercise and dieting were both crucial to his success, the Grammy winner told the publication that the most important thing was shifting his mindset.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Once I started treating food like an addiction, it started changing everything for me,” he explained at the time. “When I started really looking at the source of why I was eating. What was I eating for?”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He’s also been open about how slimming down has improved his sex life with Bunnie. “I couldn’t even get aroused, I was so big,” <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/jelly-roll-losing-weight-improve-sex-life-bunnie-xo-1236135409/">he told Joe Rogan</a> in December. “I was having to play Twister to have sex. ‘Left foot here, right foot on the X. Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.'”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Elsewhere in her conversation with Stern, Bunnie — whose memoir <em>Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic</em> arrived Tuesday — spoke on the more serious topic of her husband <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bunnie-xo-jelly-roll-affair-open-relationship-1236181228/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">having an affair</a> years ago. “When we went through that entire situation, I had to look inside myself also and be like, ‘Why am I attracting these men? Because this seems to be a huge pattern in my life,’” she told the on-air personality.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Not that I’m making excuses for him, but most of the time when men cheat, women wanna point the finger,” she continued during the interview. “I didn’t wanna do that. I was like, ‘I really love this man’ … I just knew that something was so special in my husband and I knew that he would become the man that he is today. He just needed somebody to love him.”</p>

	“How about Nicki Minaj? Do we love Nicki Minaj? I love Nicki Minaj. She was here a couple weeks ago. She’s so beautiful,” Trump raved. “I said, ‘Nicki, you’re so beautiful.’ Her nails are like that long, I said, ‘Nicki are they real?’ She didn’t want to get into that. But she was so beautiful and so great and she gets it, more importantly.”</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Minaj celebrated Presidents’ Day on Monday (Feb. 16) by <a href="https://x.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/2023544482478854461" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">posting an AI-generated photo</a> to social media of her riding around in a convertible with President Trump while counting money.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Queens icon also attended the Trump-backed <a href="https://x.com/worldlibertyfi/status/2024243230666346628" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">World Liberty Forum event</a> on Wednesday (Feb. 18), which saw Minaj tapped as a keynote speaker for the “Owning the Culture: The Business of Music in a Creator-Led Economy” panel. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Minaj met the president for the first time at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C. in January, where she stood alongside Donald Trump and labeled herself the<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/nicki-minaj-donald-trump-summit-presidents-number-1-fan-1236165523/"> “president’s No. 1 fan.”</a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan,” Minaj said. “And that’s not going to change. What people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more. And it’s going to motivate all of us to support him more.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She continued: “We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him. And you know, the smear campaigns. It’s not going to work. He has a lot of force behind him and God is protecting him.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Minaj hasn’t been shy about her <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/nicki-minaj-relates-president-trump-both-faced-bullying-1236171249/">support for the Trump</a> administration in recent months. She joined podcaster Katie Miller for an interview earlier in February, where she explained the backlash that Trump faced inspired her to be more outspoken in his corner. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Religious freedom is something that’s very important to me, but if I’m being honest, President Trump,” she said. “When I saw how he was being treated, over and over and over, I just couldn’t handle it.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Regional Mexican music legend <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ramon-ayala/">Ramón Ayala</a> is facing a $25 million lawsuit from an unnamed tour photographer alleging Ayala’s son engaged in abusive behavior toward the staffer.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a case filed Tuesday (Feb. 17) and obtained by <em>Billboard</em>, a man identified as John Doe says Ramón Ayala Jr. engaged in a “dangerous pattern of escalating sexualized misconduct and assaultive behavior,” including unwanted touching and exposing his genitals.</p>

	In one instance, the lawsuit claims, Ayala Jr. threw a bag of cocaine at the accuser. In another, Doe claims the younger Ayala held him down and “sucked plaintiff’s toes.”</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Without warning and without consent, defendant Ayala Jr. physically grabbed plaintiff’s legs, restrained him, forcibly removed plaintiff’s footwear, and engaged in sexually offensive physical contact with plaintiff’s foot,” writes the accuser’s attorney. “Defendant did this act in a sexual manner, and did it by force, not only to gratify himself, but to degrade the plaintiff.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ayala, a pioneer of Norteño music over a decades-long career as the leader of Ramón Ayala y Sus Bravos del Norte, is also named as a defendant in the case. He is accused of legal negligence for failing to stop his son’s conduct: “Despite knowledge of defendant Ayala Jr.’s ongoing behavior … defendants failed to intervene, supervise, discipline, or remove him from authority.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a statement posted to Instagram on Wednesday (Feb. 18), the elder Ayala said the allegation “deeply hurts my band, my fans, and my family” and that his legal team was “working to clarify the facts.” He also alluded to “those who act maliciously for financial gain.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We live in a world where freedom of expression is for everyone,” Ayala said. “But unfortunately, in their eagerness to gain attention, recognition or financial gain, some people, without any basis, try to take advantage and tarnish the legacy of an artist who rose from nothing through humility, effort, and sacrifice.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The lawsuit was filed by <strong>Tony Buzbee</strong>, a well-known Houston plaintiffs attorney who made headlines last year for <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/tony-buzbee-lawyer-diddy-abuse-accusers-withdraws-cases/">filing more than 20 cases</a> against <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/diddy/">Sean “Diddy” Combs</a>. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jay-z">Jay-Z</a> later <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/diddy-accuser-lawyer-extortion-lawsuit-unnamed-celebrity/">sued Buzbee</a> over one of those cases, claiming the attorney had tried to blackmail him with false claims of sexual abuse. That case was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/jay-z-lawsuit-defamation-extortion-tony-buzbee-dismissed/">later dismissed</a> by a judge.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ayala, affectionately known as the King of the Accordion, announced the final tour of his 60-year career in 2024. The four-time Grammy winner’s albums <em>Arriba El Norte </em>(1991) and <em>Antología De Un Rey</em> (2004) reached No. 1 on <em>Billboard</em>‘s Regional Mexican Albums chart, and 12 of his songs entered the Hot Latin Songs tally.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In Tuesday’s lawsuit, the John Doe’s attorneys wrote that Ayala’s son “routinely exposed his genitals aboard the tour bus” and often “performed sexually suggestive acts toward subordinates.” On one specific occasion, he allegedly “deliberately and roughly touched plaintiff’s buttocks without consent.” The lawsuit adds that when Doe confronted him about the alleged abuse, Ayala Jr. dismissed it as “horseplay” and told him to “get over it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The conduct described herein was not accidental, playful, or misunderstood,” the Doe’s attorneys write in the lawsuit. “It was intentional, sexual, non-consensual physical contact carried out by a supervisory authority against a subordinate employee.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In technical terms, the lawsuit alleges assault and sexual assault, negligence and gross negligence against Ayala, Ayala Jr. and their touring company Liram LLC. The case is seeking at least $25 million in damages.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->
				<div class="pmc-not-a-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bunnie-xo/">Bunnie XO</a> and<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jelly-roll/"> Jelly Roll</a> are undisputedly country music’s first couple right now. But it has taken a lot for them to reach that pinnacle.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In her autobiography, <em>Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic</em>, Bunnie XO recounts harrowing stories of damage done whether thrust upon her or self-inflicted. At times the book is excruciating to read as she laments a truly awful childhood that turns into an equally painful and disturbing adulthood. Though she and Jelly Roll may seem charmed now as they have both found success beyond their wildest dreams, their happiness has been hard fought and, as she reveals, their first several years together were brutal.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But through all the nightmarish tales, Bunnie XO’s spirit and instinct for self-survival shine through. Even during the many times she is suicidal (and sadly, more recently than one would think), something propels her to keep on.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The book, which came out Tuesday (Feb. 17), is a fast-paced, well-written read, but that doesn’t make it an easy one. At times, it’s unrelentingly grim and creates a temptation to scream at Bunnie XO to make better choices before realizing nothing in her life, as a child or young adult, gave her the skills to know how to do that. It’s impossible not to root for her as she careens from one traumatic experience to the next, determined to find a better way.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bunnie admits it’s a miracle she’s alive between the men who beat her, the multiple overdoses, the ectopic pregnancies, the suicide attempts and even a car wreck that could have left her paralyzed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With unblinking honesty, Bunnie provides a survivor’s manual of sorts. And while she is hard on the literally dozens of adults surrounding her as a child and the abusive men she drifted to from one to the next, she is equally hard on herself, at one point writing, “I was an awful human. I hurt people, and I had no remorse. I sure as hell couldn’t be told otherwise.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But, to paraphrase Maya Angelou, when she knew better, she did better. Through a lot of therapy — and she makes it very clear that it took repeated attempts at getting counseling before it made a difference –and finally finding a way to love herself and have a nurturing relationship, she finds happiness. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Ultimately, <em><a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/bunniexo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stripped Down</a> </em>could provide hope for women who have found themselves in some of the same unsurmountable hardships that they, too, can make it through.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Below are 13 revelations from the book.</p>

	Evan Dando of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-lemonheads/">The Lemonheads </a>has been hospitalized for mental health issues following recent allegations he sent a fan unwanted sexual content.</p>

	In a statement shared with <em>Billboard </em>Friday (Feb. 13), a representative said that the grunge rocker was seeking treatment. “Evan Dando has long struggled with mental health issues dating back to his childhood,” it read. “He’s been admitted to a local hospital where he’s receiving comprehensive help from experienced doctors and mental health professionals.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The news comes shortly after an anonymous fan claimed that the singer-songwriter had sent her unsolicited and inappropriate videos. As reported by journalist Tony Ortega on his <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://tonyortega.substack.com/p/ugh-lemonheads-frontman-evan-dando?r=2uoi8u&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true">Underground Bunker </a></em>Substack, the fan — whose husband reached out to Ortega, and whom the reporter referred to as “Dawn” — claims to have simply congratulated Dando on releasing new album <em>Love Chat </em>this past October when, after a brief exchange, she received footage the musician had allegedly filmed of himself masturbating.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Billboard </em>has reached out to Dando’s reps for comment on his hospitalization and accusations made against him.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Dando — who lives in Brazil with his second wife, Antonia Teixeira — has been open about his lifelong struggles with substance abuse, recounting many of his experiences with addiction in his 2025 memoir, <em>Rumors of My Demise</em>. Though he quit using heroin, speed and cocaine after spending time in rehab in late 2021, Dando told <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/arts/music/evan-dando-rumors-of-my-demise-lemonheads-album.html">The New York Times</a> </em>last year that he was still taking “over-the-counter” substances.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I don’t believe God meant us to be sober,” he told the publication, which noted he’d “clutched a pre-rolled joint in his left hand for the duration of the interview” at the time. “Why would monks make booze? I just know that heroin is really, really satanic for me.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shortly after publishing <em>Rumors of My Demise</em>, The Lemonheads’ <em>Love Chat </em>dropped, marking the band’s first album of original music in 19 years. “We’ve been around so long that it’s almost like a grudging respect — like the ugly building or the old hooker that just won’t go away, so people have to deal with it,” Dando said candidly in an interview with <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/evan-dando-lemonheads-memoir-rumors-demise-1236097686/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard</a> </em>shortly after it was released. “I love that. It’s a very human quality, this dogged refusal to give up.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>If you or anyone you know is in need of support after experiencing sexual harassment, assault or abuse, reach out to <a href="https://rainn.org/help-and-healing/hotline/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RAINN</a> — which is available 24/7 online, via phone at 800-656-HOPE or text 64673 — for live, confidential help and resources. </em></p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The biggest story in the live music business this week was the controversy surrounding Casey Wasserman, the founder and CEO of Wasserman Group, the agency whose music division books Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Kendrick Lamar, Skrillex and hundreds of other artists of all sizes and genres.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Jan. 30, the U.S. Department of Justice released an additional 3 million pages of documents from the files in the case of financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and Wasserman was among the many notable public figures who appeared in them. Wasserman flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002, and the documents also include risqué emails from 2003 between Wasserman, who was then married, and Epstein’s now-incarcerated associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell, which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light,” Wasserman wrote in a Jan. 31 statement. “I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Still, Wasserman’s connection to Maxwell, and by extension Epstein, has spurred a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/casey-wasserman-jeffrey-epstein-ties-artists-react/">slew of artists</a> — including <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chappell-roan-exits-wasserman-agency-ceo-jeffrey-epstein/">Chappell Roan</a>, Orville Peck and Sylvan Esso — to part ways with the agency, with others calling for Wasserman to step down from his leadership role. Bethany Cosentino, the frontwoman of the band Best Coast, was the first artist to announce her departure from Wasserman, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/bethany-cosentino-casey-waserman-exit-agency-epstein-ties/">writing on Feb. 5</a> that “I did not consent to having my name or my career tied to someone with this kind of association to exploitation.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reportedly, a group of Wasserman Music agents has <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thewrap.com/industry-news/business/casey-wasserman-ghislaine-maxwell-emails-agents-ultimatum/" target="_blank">asked Wasserman</a> to sell them the agency’s music business — and has threatened to leave the agency if he doesn’t. But so far, Wasserman, who is also serving as the president of the organizing committee for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, has made no indication that he will leave his namesake agency or change his role there. Neither Wasserman nor his agency have issued a statement addressing the developing situation since.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	What does all this mean for Wasserman, its agents and clients, and the broader live music business? Read on for an FAQ. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How Established is Wasserman’s Music Business?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Wasserman Group has existed since 2002, but only got into the music business in 2021, when it acquired Paradigm Talent Agency’s North American live music representation business. Before that acquisition, Paradigm had spent years building its own business through acquisitions, and by 2021, it was among music’s most influential agencies. Wasserman’s resources helped turbocharge the new Wasserman Music, and in February 2024, Casey <a href="https://www.billboard.com/business/business-news/casey-wasserman-sports-music-executive-interview-1235601771/">told <em>Billboard</em></a>, “We believe in the music business. We’re not buying [Paradigm] for tomorrow; we’re buying it for the next 100 years.” But committed as Wasserman might be to his agency’s music operations, many of the division’s agents, clients and relationships long predate the existence of Wasserman Music.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How Much Does an Artist Care About Their Agency?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While agencies provide robust services and resources for their clients — and for the agents who work at them — artists are generally most committed to their specific individual agents, and will often follow them from agency to agency. So far, the statements of Wasserman clients who have spoken out have reflected this dynamic. “I have worked with my agent, Sam Hunt, for over 15 years who has done incredible work in representing me,” Cosentino wrote in her statement. “I am in the Sam Hunt business. I am not in the Wasserman business.” Several artists have referenced such longstanding relationships and praised their Wasserman agents — but ultimately, those allegiances have been trumped by the gravity of the association with Wasserman. “We love and appreciate our actual agents and we hope they can find a new scenario we can be a part of,” the electronic trio Levity wrote in a statement on Instagram announcing its departure from Wasserman. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Can Those Agents Just Leave Wasserman?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s unclear. While artists have started to announce their departures, agents have so far remained in place. The explanation for this is fairly simple: As public-facing entertainers, artists face a much more immediate risk to their brands and businesses than agents do, and agents are likely holding out to see Wasserman’s next move, which could absolve them from needing to take action on their own. But there are legal and contractual considerations as well. Agents are often bound by multi-year contracts, which could complicate the process of leaving the agency. And while legislation in states like California and New York has significantly weakened noncompete clauses, jumping ship for another agency — or banding together and starting their own — still may not be feasible for some agents. If Wasserman does remain at the agency, he could release disgruntled agents from their contracts — or they could attempt to force his hand with a walkout.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What Could The Fallout Be?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Prior to the pandemic, Paradigm Music was on a roll, and Wasserman Music has continued that momentum, signing major new clients and poaching prominent agents (and often the artists with whom they work) from competing firms. The agency world always seems to be in flux — from the indie agencies that formed at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to CAA’s blockbuster acquisition of ICM Partners in 2022 — but the sheer number of agents, artists, or both who could soon be looking for a new agency home would be unprecedented, and could possibly reshape the booking market.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Take the world of dance music, where Wasserman represents such heavy hitters as Skrillex, Rüfüs Du Sol and Swedish House Mafia, among many others. Several prominent dance artists, including ODESZA and Lane 8, have already announced their departures from Wasserman, while others, such as <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/john-summit-threatens-leave-wasserman-agency-epstein-ties/">John Summit</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/subtronics-slams-casey-wasserman-jeffrey-epstein-ties/">Subtronics</a>, have publicly called on Wasserman to step down and threatened to leave if he doesn’t. At this year’s edition of Movement, the revered Detroit electronic festival, Wasserman has by far the most clients <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DUJUZb4lPtA/?hl=en&img_index=1" target="_blank">on the bill</a> (18% of Movement’s bookings), followed by Liasion Artists (7%); major competitors WME and UTA rank at 6% and 3%, respectively. An agency that could land a disproportionate number of Wasserman agents or clients seeking a new home for representation could surge ahead in the dance music sector — and a similar phenomenon could play out in other genres, given Wasserman’s strength across the booking business.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>How Does L.A. 2028 Factor In?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Amid all this, Wasserman’s agency — which built its name by representing athletes, first and foremost — isn’t his only consideration. Since the late 1990s, the executive has been a key figure in the world of sports business, and he’s been working for more than a decade to bring the Summer Olympics to Los Angeles in 2028. Wasserman became the chair of the event’s organizing committee in 2017, and its president in 2024 — a role that has thrust him into the political spotlight, including into meetings <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/08/trump-olympic-medals-wasserman-1236479570/" target="_blank">with President Donald Trump</a>. The Olympics may be what Wasserman currently cares about most — and, so far at least, this scandal hasn’t shaken the Los Angeles Olympic Committee board’s faith in him. “We found Mr. Wasserman’s relationship with Epstein and Maxwell did not go beyond what has already been publicly documented,” the committee <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/la-olympics-committee-board-backs-casey-wasserman-1236502797/%5D" target="_blank">wrote</a> after a review of the documents, reaffirming its commitment to the executive. If the committee had moved on from Wasserman, it would’ve made it challenging for him to credibly maintain his post at his agency; likewise, its decision to stand by him strengthens his argument that he can remain atop Wasserman.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Will Casey Wasserman Survive This Scandal?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That’s the big question, and the one that everyone seems to be waiting on. There are several scenarios for what could come next that all seem somewhat possible, depending on Wasserman’s personal next move. One, he could stay, and try to weather the exodus of music artists and agents; so far, his sports division appears mostly intact, with soccer superstar Abby Wambach the only athlete to publicly announce she was leaving over the scandal, and a reduced music roster could still remain viable. Two, he could sell his agency, whether to his own agents or to another consortium, which would likely involve the agency being renamed to distance itself from its founder; a sister possible scenario could involve him merely spinning off the music agency and retaining the sports side, in which case the outcome would be similar. A third possibility could be him stepping away from the CEO role and into some sort of chairman position, with the agency being renamed, which would allow him to stay on in some capacity but could quell some of the PR issues and associations that are part of this equation. Which option he takes remains to be seen. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/don-toliver/">Don Toliver</a>, this past week has been the culmination of a long road of consistent, hard work. The Houston rapper, signed to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/travis-scott/">Travis Scott</a>’s Cactus Jack Records in partnership with Atlantic, has been steadily releasing albums over the past six years, with each project debuting in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But this week, he finally climbed the summit. The MC’s fifth album, <em>OCTANE</em>, became his first album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200, debuting this week with 162,000 equivalent album units, good for the best week of his career. And doing it in a crowded January, amid huge moments including the Grammys, the Super Bowl and major releases from the likes of Zach Bryan, A$AP Rocky and more, has made it all the more impressive that <em>OCTANE</em> cut through and succeeded. And that helps make his A&R and manager at Cactus Jack, and founder of three times LOUDER, <strong>Sickamore</strong>, <em>Billboard</em>’s Executive of the Week.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Here, Sickamore — who has held high-level A&R roles at Def Jam, Epic, Atlantic and Interscope through the years — talks about what went into helping <em>OCTANE</em> reach the summit, the rollout strategy for the project, and why hip-hop is here to stay. “Hip-hop is a culture, not a genre,” he says. “It comes from a real place. It’s the voice of the unheard.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>This week, Don Toliver’s <em>OCTANE</em> became his first-ever No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. What key decision did you make to help make that happen?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The biggest decision was when to drop. We felt confident in <em>OCTANE</em> as a body of work, but needed to be strategic on our release date. January was a minefield: Taylor Swift, A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Super Bowl LX, Zach Bryan. Ultimately, we went with a contrarian idea: what if music’s biggest weekend, The Grammys, was also the least busy?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>This is Don’s fifth top 10 album on the Billboard 200, but at 162,000 equivalent album units, it’s also his best week ever. How did you go about putting this album together differently than previous releases?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It starts with Don’s work ethic. Five solo albums plus two JACKBOYS compilation projects in a little over six years. We worked nonstop on <em>OCTANE</em> throughout 2025, creating the music and world-building simultaneously. We learned something with every album, but the biggest differentiator on <em>OCTANE</em> was having all our videos, content and physicals ready before announcing. We weren’t leaving anything on the table this time around.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What was the rollout strategy for </strong><strong><em>OCTANE</em></strong><strong>, and how did you guys pull it off successfully?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cactus Jack prides itself on rollouts. Don, [Cactus Jack CEO] <strong>David Stromberg</strong>, Travis [Scott] and myself wanted to come out, throw a flurry of punches and not give anyone time to think. We dictated the flow: trailer, videos, livestream, tour announcement. The new Atlantic regime supported us fully every step of the way. Along with UTA, we felt unstoppable. </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What was your physical and merch strategy with the album’s release?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Cactus Jack rewrote the merch playbook years ago. It’s always the same: build a world for fans to believe and get lost in. Sales come with buy-in.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>“Body” also became his first No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart, and with 17 songs on the list this week, he’s just the sixth artist to have that many in a single week, alongside Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Baby, Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. Why do you think this album has resonated so much with fans and at DSPs?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I feel this album resonated with fans because it’s really, really good. Everyone can relate to a car ride, and this album is a late-night, going 120 mph. Don took real chances with the songwriting, and the production — led by 206DEREK — is experimental and pushed sonic boundaries. Not to mention the clever sample usages. I believe people appreciate <em>OCTANE</em>’s ambition.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You’ve been in hip-hop for over 20 years. How has it changed, and how do you keep up?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	My role in hip-hop as an OG and a leader is to keep pushing forward, not to keep up. Keep new voices to the forefront. I don’t take the seat I’m in for granted. There’s been a lot of talk about the demise of hip-hop, but we will never die. You see the influence in Afrobeats, reggaeton, and music worldwide. The kids are saying 2026 is the new 2016, and they are right. Don, Cole, Rocky, Baby Keem, Jack Harlow, Drake, Ye — who’s losing steam? <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/gene-simmons-rock-hall-hip-hop-does-not-belong-1236177971/">Sorry Gene Simmons</a>, but we aren’t stopping.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a cover story interview with <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.gq.com/story/bts-begins-again-gq-cover-story-march-2026-interview">GQ</a> </em>published Friday (Feb. 13), the Bangtan Boys opened up about navigating the pressure of coming back with new music — and<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/where-to-buy-affordable-tickets-to-bts-arirang-world-tour-1236162592/"> a world tour </a>— after a yearslong break to pursue solo opportunities and finish their respective enlistments in the South Korean military. One way they’ve done this is by doubling down on their friendships and professional relationships with each other while working on their March 20-slated album, blocking out other distractions — something that’s given them renewed clarity about the longevity they’re striving for together.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“If we can keep this going, then maybe we can be dancing in our 60s … as long as we’re willing — I think maybe into our 50s, into our 60s — we can always be together as a band,” Suga told the publication. “Maybe it’ll be a little bit hard on our knees. But I think we can do that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That said, RM previously conceded that the pressure of living up to the band’s pre-military success — and following up the last full-length, 2020’s<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/"> Billboard 200</a>-topping <em>Be </em>— can be overwhelming. In a December livestream, the rapper told ARMY that he’d considered “thousands of times” whether it would be “better for the team to disband or go on hiatus” because of the stress.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I think it’s RM’s love language to ARMY in a way,” Jimin told <em>GQ </em>of RM’s revelation. “It really shows how emotionally invested he is in the group and in ARMY as well. I think it was very RM to be vulnerable and say things like that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“RM is like the identity of this group,” added V. “He’s the core leader of the group, so he must feel so much more pressure than the rest of us do. I usually don’t have that much pressure, but it seems like he does.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The guys also remember how tough it was at times to be apart from one another during their break. At a group hangout “before we all got discharged from the military service,” V remembers how Jung Kook got particularly emotional.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“He bawled,” V told the publication. “Jung Kook cried because he really wanted to be on stage, and he just really wanted to perform.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After <em>Arirang </em>drops, BTS will kick off its highly anticipated world tour in April with a string of shows in Goyang, South Korea. The band will be on the road through the better part of March 2027, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bts-tour-dates-2026-2027-1236153981/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with stops planned</a> in the United States, Europe, Australia, Asia and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In April, fans will have two opportunities to watch along live as BTS performs on stage, with<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/bts-movie-theaters-world-tour-arirang-live-viewing-details-1236178637/"> simultaneous screenings</a> of one of the concerts in Goyang and a concert in Tokyo slated to screen in theaters.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Pop culture has a real influence on where people choose to travel, and we’re seeing that play out in a big way this week,” <strong>Melanie Fish</strong>, vp of public relations at Expedia Group, tells <em>Billboard</em>. “After Sunday’s halftime performance, searches on Expedia for Puerto Rico and other key Latin American destinations skyrocketed as travelers looked to experience the energy they saw on stage for themselves. It’s a great example of how music and culture can inspire your travel plans, uncovering destinations you’ve never visited before.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	San Juan, Puerto Rico’s capital, saw flight searches spike 240%, while Vega Baja — the artist’s hometown — experienced a jaw-dropping 1,450% increase in interest. Vega Baja, known for its serene beaches and coastal charm, has quickly become a sought-after destination for travelers hoping to connect with the superstar’s roots. (<em>Note: Data based on flight searches made on Expedia.com from Feb. 8 – 11 2026 compared to searches made from Feb. 8 – 11 2025, for stays anytime in those listed cities or countries.</em>)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But the impact didn’t stop at Puerto Rico. This year’s halftime show — celebrated for its representation of a bevy of Latin American cultures — appeared to have a “halo effect” on travel to the broader region. Flight searches for Mexico surged by 210%, while Brazil and Colombia saw increases of 120%. Argentina also experienced a notable boost, with searches jumping 70%.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bad Bunny’s influence isn’t just trending stateside — it’s driving interest in his upcoming international tour destinations, too, according to Expedia data. Flight searches to London, where he will perform this June, spiked by 90%, while Madrid saw a 20% boost. Closer to home, São Paulo searches rose 35% just ahead of his show there next week. (<em>Note: Data based on flight searches made on Expedia.com from Feb. 8–11, 2026, compared to searches from Feb. 8–11, 2025, for concert dates in each city + 1 day before to allow for travel</em>.)</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bad Bunny’s influence extends beyond travel. During his halftime show, the Puerto Rican artist debuted the unreleased BadBo 1.0 “Resilience” shoes, a collaborative project with Adidas. Searches for the futuristic, cream-toned sneakers spiked by 496% in the hours following the performance, according to JD Sports. The company also notes that “Bad Bunny style” searches skyrocketed by 1,284%.</p>

All No. 1s, all songs people have embraced over the years that I haven’t been able to perform live. And it’s more intimate, more storytelling.”</p>

	By his own account, Marc Anthony has played more than 10,000 shows in his lifetime. But this time, “I’m mounting a show I’ve never seen before, a show I’ve never done before, with this combination of songs. It’s a challenge, but I’m really looking forward to it.”</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Marc Anthony: Vegas…My Way! at the BleauLive Theater at the Fontainebleau will play for five days in February, then returns for an additional three days in the summer as a prelude to a 100-date stint in 2027. The show marks the first time Marc Anthony, one of Latin music’s most successful and prolific touring acts, has a residency anywhere.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m over the moon,” he says, revealing that the repertoire will include a lot duets, with for which many of those featured acts recorded special videos tailored for the residency.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The Malumas of the world, India, ‘La Gozadera’ [with Gente De Zona],” he adds, rattling off song titles. “It will be a coming together of songs that have changed my life; songs in English like ‘You Sang to Me,’ ‘I Need to Know.’ I threw everything in the bucket that I always wanted to do.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Marc Anthony has long been courted for a Las Vegas residency, as much for his star power, as for his long history with the city and with the icons associated with it, including Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.  But he never seriously considered the option until he met Jeffrey Soffer, the chairman and chief executive officer of Fontainebleau Development, who invited him to stay at the hotel.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When I saw what Jeff Soffer did here — it’s six stars, brand new, brand new theater. … Plus, his father was friends with Frank Sinatra. This is what Vegas should be,” says Marc Anthony.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	His fans will be able to see the star, who usually plays arenas and stadiums, in a completely different, intimate setup. Regardless, as ever, the star will be Marc Anthony’s voice and his incredibly tight band. So tight, in fact, that to date, the singer admits he still doesn’t warm up, or do sound checks.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I just have a beer and a cigarette. Just give me a microphone and I’ll figure it out,” he chuckles. “You never know what’s going to happen that night. After doing more than 10,000 concerts, it’s all about staying on your toes and telling a story. One song she broke his heart, then the next they’re getting married. It’s about telling those stories and being in the moment.”</p>

	This week in dance music: Avicii’s country/EDM crossover classic “Wake Me Up” <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/avicii-wake-me-up-three-billion-spotify-streams-1236176618/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/avicii-wake-me-up-three-billion-spotify-streams-1236176618/">became</a> just one of 51 songs to reach three billion streams on YouTube, Diplo <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/diplo-raves-bts-arirang-craziest-album-ever-1236177179/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/diplo-raves-bts-arirang-craziest-album-ever-1236177179/">talked about</a> working with BTS on their comeback album <em>Arirang</em> and SoundCloud’s new Music Intelligence Report <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/diplo-gunna-travis-barker-run-clubs-1236177580/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/diplo-gunna-travis-barker-run-clubs-1236177580/">found electronic music</a> to be a key genre on the platform, citing it as its fastest growing genre. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As reported by <em>Billboard </em>earlier this week, the reports notes that “in 2020, roughly one in four tracks uploaded to SoundCloud was in an electronic genre. In 2025, it was more than one in three. Last year, the number of uploads hashtagged “#DJSET” also increased 39% year over year. Altogether, these uploads made electronic music SoundCloud’s fastest-growing genre in the U.S., where it accounted for ‘a greater percentage of all listening for the third year running.'” The report found that dubstep in particular is surging on the streamer, with producers Levity, Tape B and more leading this charge.  </p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The London-born singer-songwriter is enjoying a bumper start to 2026, having occupied the top spot for five of the first seven weeks of the year. On Feb. 1, Dean also became the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/every-british-winner-best-new-artist-grammys/">first British artist</a> to collect the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/t/grammys">Grammys</a>’ best new artist prize since 2019, and only the 10th overall.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/olivia-dean-the-art-of-loving-all-12-tracks-ranked/"><em>The Art of Loving</em>,</a> first released in September, is yet to leave the top five of the Official Albums Chart.

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>The Art of Loving</em> is the longest running No. 1 album by a British female artist this decade; Adele’s <em>30 </em>(2021) was the previous holder of the record with five weeks at the summit.</p>

The Puerto Rican star’s <em>Debí Tirar Más Fotos</em> jumps 42 places to hit a new peak of No. 2 this week. Upon its original release in January 2025, the LP peaked at No. 13.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

The record was billed by the North Carolina native to be his final album, and features guest appearances from Burna Boy, Erykah Badu, Future and Tems.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The remainder of the top five goes to greatest hits compilations from Fleetwood Mac (<em>50 Years – Don’t Stop</em>) and The Weekend (<em>The Highlights</em>), clocking in at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. Japanese-born Joji’s <em>Piss In the Wind </em>lands at No. 6 to give him his highest ever charting album to date in the U.K.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How to get real creators to use your song—and turn that attention into fans for your catalog</strong></p>
<p>You can post your song clip every day and still get stuck in the same loop: a few likes, a few “this is fire” comments… and almost nobody using your audio.</p>
<p>That’s because the real win on TikTok/Reels isn’t “views on your page.” It’s <strong>sound adoption</strong>, which is other people making videos with your music. That’s what creates repetition, social proof, and long-tail discovery that keeps working after your post stops getting show by the algorithm.</p>
<p>UGC (user generated content) seeding is how you make that happen on purpose.</p>
<p>Not by writing “TikTok hooks.” Not by chasing a viral lottery ticket. But by packaging a real song from your catalog in a way creators can actually use.</p>
<p>Here’s the playbook.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The mindset shift: You’re building adoption, not “going viral”</strong></h3>
<p>Think of UGC as a distribution engine:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Every creator who uses your sound becomes a micro-channel for your song<br></li>
<li>Their audience sees your music in a context they already like<br></li>
<li>The algorithm keeps recycling that content long after your original post dies<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Your success metrics shouldn’t start with “views.” Start with:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong># of videos using your sound</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li><strong>new followers</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li><strong>profile visits</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li><strong>saves/shares</strong> (signals that your sound is worth reusing)</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pick the right moment from your real song (no “manufactured hook” required)</strong></h3>
<p>You’re not rewriting your art. You’re choosing the most <em>usable</em> 10–20 seconds.</p>
<p>Look for:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>a lyric people can <strong>quote</strong> or caption<br></li>
<li>a beat drop that fits <strong>transitions</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li>a mood pocket (dreamy, confident, chaotic, heartfelt)<br></li>
<li>an emotional turn (calm → intensity, hope → heartbreak)<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Then create <strong>2–3 use cases</strong> for the same moment. Same song. Different ways a creator could apply it.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Give creators a concept: “What should I DO with this sound?”</strong></h3>
<p>Creators don’t need your track, they need an idea they can film in 10 minutes.</p>
<p>Pick <strong>one primary use case</strong> and stick to it for 7–14 days.</p>
<p>Strong “artist-first” use cases:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Main character moment</strong> (confidence, glow-up, victory lap)<br></li>
<li><strong>POV lyric</strong> (relatable storytelling + caption)<br></li>
<li><strong>Before/after transformation</strong> (gym, makeup, cleaning, room makeover)<br></li>
<li><strong>Soft launch / hard launch</strong> (relationships, life updates)<br></li>
<li><strong>Montage vibe</strong> (travel, day-in-life, seasonal mood)<br></li>
</ul>
<p>The rule: <strong>one clear prompt</strong> beats five vague ones.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Make 3–5 “template posts” that show the template</strong></h3>
<p>This is the step that turns your song into a <em>tool</em> creators can use.</p>
<p>Create 3–5 short videos that demonstrate the prompt with your audio. You’re basically saying: “Here’s exactly how this sound works.”</p>
<p>Each template post should include:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>the audio moment<br></li>
<li>a clear text overlay prompt<br></li>
<li>a caption that tells people to use the sound<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Overlay formulas you can reuse:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“Use this sound if you’re finally…”<br></li>
<li>“POV: you needed to hear this line today”<br></li>
<li>“When you realize you don’t have to…”<br></li>
<li>“Transition idea: before → after (wait for the drop)”<br></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Pin your best template post</strong> so anyone discovering you immediately understands what to do with the sound.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Build a targeted micro-creator list (format match > follower count)</strong></h3>
<p>This isn’t influencer marketing. It’s targeted seeding.</p>
<p>Start with creators who:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>already post in the format you’re targeting<br></li>
<li>post consistently (3–5x/week)<br></li>
<li>are <strong>micro-creators</strong> (roughly 5k–50k followers) who actually reply and post<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Make it simple:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>20 creators in your primary format (ex: transitions)<br></li>
<li>10 creators in a second adjacent format (ex: day-in-life)<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Don’t overcomplicate it. The perfect creator fit beats targeting random creators with a huge audience.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Outreach that doesn’t feel cringe (DMs + comments)</strong></h3>
<p>The mistake: “Hey please support my song!”</p>
<p>The better frame: <strong>“Your format + my sound = a great post.”</strong></p>
<p>A good message has 3 parts:</p>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Something specific you like (prove you’re not spamming)<br></li>
<li>One clear concept they can execute quickly<br></li>
<li>Permission-based ask (“Want the sound link?”)<br></li>
</ol>
<p>DM example:</p>
<p>“Your before/after edits are <em>so</em> clean. I have a track with a perfect drop for that style. If you’re open, I’ll send one quick concept + the sound link.”</p>
<p>Comment strategy (often works better than DMs):</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>engage with 2–3 posts first<br></li>
<li>then comment: “This format would go crazy with a drop in my new song. Want the sound link?”<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Your goal is not to convince them your music is good. Your goal is to make posting with it <strong>easy</strong>.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What to track (artist outcomes, not vanity views)</strong></h3>
<p>Primary metrics:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong># of videos using your sound</strong><strong><br></strong></li>
<li><strong>new videos per day</strong> (momentum)<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Secondary:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>profile visits<br></li>
<li>new followers per day<br></li>
<li>saves/shares on your template posts<br></li>
<li>link clicks to your “listen/follow” destination<br></li>
</ul>
<p>If the number of creators using your song rises but your follower counts don’t, your pinned post/CTA needs work. If you’re seeing increased followers but there isn’t an increase in creators using your song, then your prompt/template needs tightening.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Common mistakes (and quick fixes)</strong></h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>No clear prompt</strong> → make template posts with explicit overlays<br></li>
<li><strong>Too many prompts</strong> → pick one primary use case for 7–14 days<br></li>
<li><strong>Only chasing big creators</strong> → micro-creators drive volume and adoption<br></li>
<li><strong>Not reposting videos using your song</strong> → spotlight is fuel; don’t waste it</li>
</ul>

	From backyard parties to stadiums, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/fuerza-regida/">Fuerza Regida</a> announces their <em>This is Our Dream Tour</em> – the band’s first – ever U.S. stadium tour and shares all the exclusive details with <em>Billboard</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	JOP:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I remember when Chris photoshopped the picture us in front of a stadium, sold out stadium. That’s why it’s called <em>This Is Our Dream</em> tour because it was all a dream. You know?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Khyristian:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I remember Wednesday, even Tuesday, sometimes Wednesdays with Thursdays. You get that text, “hey we got a gig on Saturday.” H*** yeah. Like you get all happy because you know you’re about to work, and then Friday hits. “Hey, we got another gig today out of nowhere.” Get happy. It’s a crazy feeling. Like, kind of like telling a kid, “hey, we’re about to go to Disneyland.” It was that same feeling. We got a gig on Saturday.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	JOP:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Right? Like whenever the privada, like, you know, you about to go serve a little whiskey, it was like the best job ever, huh? Free tacos. That’s how it was. Just like, you know? </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	José “Pelon:”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We had to work so much, though. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	JOP:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Just the feeling of some free tacos. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Moisés López:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It was just mostly like a jam out in the backyard. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	JOP:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yeah, like you’re jamming out. You’re having fun.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Samuel:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At least once it was kind of funny for me. It was kind of nervous, like nerve wrecking still because you still got to perform, so they call you back. You want to get called back to work with the clients. But yeah, I mean…</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	JOP:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yeah, it was still like work like at the end that we had to go perform good. Like, hey, we’re gonna do this s*** chaca, you know, like, we’re gonna do it good. We probably did like, one or two quinceaneras. But our type of clients were fools drinking. Fools having a little carne asada pretty much. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Khyristian:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	They used to have a start at 10pm/11pm.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Though it appeared he tuned into <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny">Bad Bunny</a>‘s unifying, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-review-critic-take-1236176013/">love-filled Super Bowl LX halftime show</a> at his Mar-A-Lago resort over the weekend — instead of Christian conservative group Turning Point USA’s Kid Rock-led <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kid-rock-denies-lip-synching-turning-point-halftime-show-1236177353/">pre-taped livestream</a> attempt at counter-programming — Donald Trump complained that he could not understand anything Benito said during the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-2026-1236175928/">13-minute tribute to the singer’s native Puerto Rico</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Taking to Truth Social right after the set — which was the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-fourth-biggest-ever-1236177940/">fourth most-watched halftime show ever</a> — Trump bashed it as “<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/donald-trump-reacts-bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-1236176183/">absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER</a>,” specifically complaining, “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That specific objection didn’t land with one of Trump’s primary congressional antagonists, Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose parents are both of Puerto Rican descent. Asked by reporter Nicholas Ballasy on Tuesday (Feb. 10) what she thought of the show and Trump’s description of the dancing in it as “disgusting,” <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUlcBWvDilT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">a smiling AOC responded</a>, “I barely know what Trump’s saying half the time. So… I feel him,” she said of the 79-year-old MAGA leader who has a reputation for garbling the names of other world leaders and meandering from subject to unrelated subject during his speeches.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She also said the quiet part real loud when Ballasy asked for her response to a push by Republican Tennessee Rep Andy Ogles to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/republican-ogles-congressional-inquiry-bad-bunny-halftime-show-1236177157/">launch a formal congressional inquiry</a> into the NFL and NBC for what he said was their “prior knowledge, deliberate approval and facilitation of this indecent broadcast,” which he claimed was “pure smut, brazenly aired on national television.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Considering the set —  which featured surprise guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, as well as Cardi B, Karol G, Jessica Alba and others — was in Spanish, AOC said, “I thought they didn’t understand what he was saying?,” then jokingly adding of Ogles and fellow offended Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Florida, “I look forward to seeing their Duolingo scores and operating accordingly.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As for how she felt about the performance, which ended with the singer holding up a football emblazoned with the phrase “Together, We Are America” as well as the message “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” posted on the Jumbotron in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., AOC said as a Puerto Rican and American it gave her “so much pride.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Not only that, but really telling the story of America, and all the Americas,” she said of the bit in the set where Benito read off the names of all the countries that make up the Americas. “He didn’t just play his fantastic music, but he talked about the history of sugar cane farming, of the diaspora of Nuyoricans in New York City, of how all of us can come together as a country. And I think it was incredibly inspiring and fun and joyful in a time that people find very challenging. I thought he made everyone so proud. It made me super proud too.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Asked if she thought Bunny might tone down his anti-ICE rhetoric after using his showcase on what is traditionally the biggest televised event of the year to push for unity, AOC said, “Oh no! I think a big part of what makes Bad Bunny so important is that he’s one of the few artists that has the courage to actually use his voice in this day and age.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	During his speech accepting the best música urbana album at the Grammy Awards earlier this month for his smash <em>Debí Tirar Más Fotos</em><strong> </strong>LP, Bad Bunny slammed the Trump administration’s nationwide immigration blitz, specifically calling out ICE’s aggressive tactics. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE out!” Benito said to a standing ovation. “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. I know it’s tough not to hate on these days and I was thinking sometime we get <em>contaminados</em> [contaminated]. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it. We love. That’s the way to do it. Thank God, and thanks to the academy.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bts/">BTS</a>‘ long-awaited return from their nearly four-year hiatus just keeps getting bigger. On Thursday (Feb. 12) the K-pop superstars announced that they will return to movie screens around the world in April with <em>BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ LIVE VIEWING</em>, a global live cinema event that will bring the two of the group’s full-length concerts to movie screens on April 11 and 18.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to a release announcing the screenings, RM, Jin, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook will beam into movie theaters to air two of the first shows on their <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bts-tour-dates-2026-2027-1236153981/">highly anticipated world tour</a> in support of their upcoming album, <em>Arirang</em>. The two screenings will feature a live airing of one of their three kick-off shows in Goyang, South Korea (April 11), followed by a broadcast of the April 18 stop in Tokyo. In total, the outing will present 82 shows in 34 cities across the globe , notching yet another record for the group for the most tour dates by a K-pop artist, according to a release.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tickets and screening details for each territory will be available <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.btsliveviewing.com/" target="_blank">here</a> beginning on Feb. 25, with ARMY encouraged to sign up for event alerts. Screening times will vary by territory, with each territory scheduled to screen each concert twice. Tickets will officially go on sale beginning Feb. 25 at 8 a.m. ET. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Trafalgar Releasing is very proud to bring one of the year’s most significant cultural moments to cinema audiences worldwide. The announcement of BTS WORLD TOUR <em>ARIRANG</em> has been met with extraordinary global demand, and we are excited to continue our longstanding partnership with HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC on two unmissable live cinema broadcasts this April,” said Trafalagar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby in a statement, which noted that additional live viewings are planned for later this year. “Presenting two full-length concerts from Goyang and Tokyo, these events offer audiences around the world the opportunity to come together and experience the tour on the big screen.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The upcoming tour — which will find the singers performing in-the-round on a 360-degree stage — is the first by the group since their 2021-2022 Permission to Dance on Stage outing, their final run of shows as a group before all seven members took a break to complete their mandated military service. BTS’ fifth studio album, <em>Arirang</em>, is due out on March 20.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to the album and concert screenings, <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/bts-netflix-livestream-performance-the-return-documentary-1236171473/">BTS the Comeback Live | Arirang</a></em>, a chronicle of the group’s first live show in three years, will stream exclusively on Netflix the day after the LP’s release at 7 a.m. ET on March 21. It will feature the septet taking the stage at Seoul, South Korea’s historic Gwanghwamun Square, the main gate of the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul. The comeback will also be chronicled in <em>BTS: The Return</em>, a full-length documentary slated to premiere on Netflix on March 27.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Just in time for Major League Soccer season, the San Jose Earthquakes have dropped a rock-n-roll-approved kit with tons of personality.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The club has partnered with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-grateful-dead-merch-apparel-shop-online-1236014802/">The Grateful Dead</a> for 2026/2027, kicking it off right with the introduction of a psychedelic tie-dye <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/tina-turner-kit-st-louis-city-sc-tribute-mls-photos-1236177442/">jersey</a> to pay homage to the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/grateful-dead-bobbleheads-limited-edition-9575333/">iconic band’s aesthetics</a>. It only made sense that these two entities would collaborate, given that The Grateful Dead played its first show under that name in San Jose, Calif. Retailing for<a href="https://mlsstore.i8h2.net/c/256585/587278/9678?subId1=BB&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlsstore.com%2Fen%2Fsan-jose-earthquakes%2Fmens-san-jose-earthquakes-adidas-light-blue-2026-the-dead-kit-on-field-authentic-patch-jersey%2Ft-25128149%2Bp-138881842877194%2Bz-9-99459842%3F_ref%3Dp-PDP%3Am-YMAL%3Api-PDP_RECOMMENDATIONS_2%3Ai-r0c0%3Apo-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> $159.99 for men</a> and<a href="https://mlsstore.i8h2.net/c/256585/587278/9678?subId1=BB&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlsstore.com%2Fen%2Fsan-jose-earthquakes%2Fwomens-san-jose-earthquakes-adidas-light-blue-2026-the-dead-kit-replica-jersey%2Ft-25123683%2Bp-803392845114818%2Bz-9-4075575398%3F_ref%3Dp-PDP%3Am-YMAL%3Api-PDP_RECOMMENDATIONS_2%3Ai-r0c5%3Apo-5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> $99.99 for women</a>, this tee is equipped with light and dark blues swirled alongside splashes of pink, almost purple. The youth version of the jersey is an exact copy of the grown-up version and<a href="https://mlsstore.i8h2.net/c/256585/587278/9678?subId1=BB&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlsstore.com%2Fen%2Fsan-jose-earthquakes%2Fyouth-san-jose-earthquakes-adidas-light-blue-2026-the-dead-kit-replica-jersey%2Ft-36567049%2Bp-027769283903953%2Bz-9-894223230%3F_ref%3Dp-PDP%3Am-YMAL%3Api-PDP_RECOMMENDATIONS_2%3Ai-r0c3%3Apo-3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> retails for $79.99</a>. Why tie-dye? Well, the pattern has become the unofficial uniform for fans of the band.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	You’ve also got black accents that break up the colorful scene, along with coordinating black graphics reading the club’s official healthcare partner and sponsor, El Camino Health. The Adidas logo can be seen on the front alongside the club’s logo, also in black. The back panel is void of tie-dye but features The Grateful Dead’s logo just below the collar. Sizing for the piece ranges from small to 3XL for men and small to 2XL for women. Youth sizing runs from small to XL.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This isn’t the first time the band has teamed up with a soccer team. Back in 2023, the Grateful Dead teamed up with English soccer club Forest Green Rovers for a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/grateful-dead-nba-collection-where-to-shop-online-1235906221/">similar merch rollout</a>. The collaboration featured Grateful Dead skull logos on team apparel and was approved by the band’s archivist, David Lemieux, driven by a mutual, environmentally conscious and sustainable ethos.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“For us, it’s a perfect match,” said Lemieux in an interview<a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/why-the-grateful-dead-teamed-english-football-club-merch/"> with Billboard in 2023</a>. “Forest Green Rovers is a team that really follows Grateful Dead values, which is to say that we’re both conscious of the world around us and we want to make sure that we leave it a better place than when we arrived.” Fashionable collaborations aside, the San Jose Earthquakes are set to get back on the turf Feb. 21, hosting a match against Sporting Kansas City at PayPal Park. Following that match, the club will face off against Atlanta United FC on Feb. 28. Both matches can be watched with a<a href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=87443X1644751&xs=1&xcust=BB&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftv.apple.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Fculture%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fmls-club-san-jose-earthquakes-grateful-dead-jersey-1236178265%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> subscription to Apple TV</a>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Duff announced the big news on Thursday (Feb. 12), sharing a cute video on Instagram in which she goes through her closet, sifting through iconic pieces and accessories from her past. That includes her microphone headset from <em>The Lizzie McGuire </em>movie — and yes, the former Disney star does try it on and say her fan-favorite line, “Sing for me, Paulo,” in the clip.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’M GOING ON A WORLD TOUR!!! … now what do I wear?” Duff wrote in her caption.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The tour will kick off June 22 and see the <em>How I Met Your Father </em>alum headlining major venues — including New York City’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum — in North America, Europe and Australia through the end of October. Duff will then take a couple of months off before hitting the road again in 2027 for a string of shows in Canada and one finale performance in Mexico City on Feb. 12.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	La Roux, Lauren Spencer Smith and Jade LeMac will serve as supporting acts on various dates in the trek. Duff is running a number of different presales for the tour for different locations and partners, the first of which opens Feb. 16. More information on purchasing tickets can be found on her <a href="https://www.hilaryduff.com/live" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">website</a>. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The tour announcement comes one week ahead of the release of Duff’s first album in more than a decade, <em>Luck … Or Something</em>, which drops Feb. 20. So far, she’s shared two songs from the project: “Mature” and “Roommates.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It also follows Duff’s brief run of intimate shows on her Small Rooms, Big Nerves stint, which closed on Jan. 19 with a performance in Los Angeles, where <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/hilary-duff-teases-world-tour-los-angeles-concert-1236167627/">she first teased </a>that she’d be going on a grander tour soon on stage. She’s also scheduled for <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/hilary-duff-las-vegas-residency-valentines-day-voltaire-1236126856/">a mini-residency </a>at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, with dates marked down for February and May.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A federal judge has rejected <strong>Martin Shkreli</strong>’s attempt to sue the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA over the group’s one-of-a-kind album <em>Once Upon a Time in Shaolin</em>, ruling that the maneuver violated basic court rules.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shkreli <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/martin-shkreli-sues-rza-lawsuit-wu-tang-clan-album/">filed court papers last week</a> aimed at pulling <a href="https://billboard.com/artist/rza">RZA</a> (<strong>Robert Diggs</strong>) and Wu-Tang producer Cilvaringz (<strong>Tarik Azzougarh</strong>) into his long-running battle with PleasrDAO, an art collective that paid $4 million to buy the album after Shkreli forfeited it to prosecutors.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But in a pair of short response rulings, the judge overseeing the case now says Shkreli wasn’t actually allowed to sue RZA in the case – at least not via the specific legal procedures his lawyers employed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Shkreli raises purported ‘counterclaims’ against Robert ‘RZA’ Diggs and Tarik ‘Cilvaringz’ Azzougarh,” <strong>Judge Pamela K. Chen</strong> writes in a Feb. 6 order. “However, counterclaims can only be asserted against an opposing party — here, the only one is PleasrDao. Furthermore, to the extent Shkreli intended to assert cross-claims, those can only made as to co-defendants, of which there are none here.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shkreli wants to pull RZA into the litigation because he says the Wu-Tang leader improperly sold part of the rights to the famed album to PleasrDao despite the fact that they were already contractually promised to him – what his lawyers call a “duplicate sale.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After this week’s rejection, it’s unclear if Shkreli’s legal team will still attempt to pursue those claims. He could potentially file a so-called “third party complaint,” a legal vehicle sometimes used to add new parties to an existing lawsuit. Or he could simply file a separate case against RZA over the double-sale controversy. But either option would face its own procedural hurdles. His attorney did not return a request for comment.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Shaolin</em> was published just once, on a CD secured in an engraved nickel and silver box. The legendary album came with bizarre legal stipulations, most notably that it couldn’t be released to the general public until 2103 – making it one of hip hop’s enduring mysteries.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shkreli purchased the album at auction in 2015, shortly before he became the infamous “Pharma Bro” who spiked the price of AIDS drugs. But after he was convicted of securities fraud in 2017, he forfeited it to prosecutors to help pay a huge restitution sentence. Pleasr then bought <em>Shaolin</em> from the government in 2021 – and has spent the last few years trying to monetize it with blockchain offerings and private listening parties.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Pleasr launched the legal battle with Shkreli in 2024, after he made threats to release the album on the internet. And last year, a federal judge said Pleasr’s case could <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/wu-tang-album-lawsuit-martin-shkreli-can-proceed/">move ahead toward trial</a>, ruling that <em>Shaolin</em> might qualify as a “trade secret” that Shkreli had essentially stolen.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shkreli has been trying to pull RZA and Cilvaringz into the case for months. In October, he asked Judge Chen to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/wu-tang-album-lawsuit-martin-shkreli-rza-legal-battle/">force them to join the case</a>, calling them “indispensable parties” to the dispute. But the judge <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/rza-martin-shkreli-case-rare-wu-tang-clan-album/">denied that request</a> last month, ruling that it was “astonishingly devoid of support.” So last week, he went a step further and simply sued them, doing so by filing a countersuit against Pleasr that named the two artists as co-defendants.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In it, he claimed his original deal with RZA and Cilvaringz to purchase of <em>Shaolin</em> gave him 50 percent of the copyright to the album immediately and promised him the other 50 percent in 2103. Instead, he said Wu-Tang had turned around and sold that share to Pleasr.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“On a date 88 years after its execution, the Wu-Tang Defendants are obligated to transfer the remaining 50% of the copyrights to Shkreli,” his lawyers write. “Now, PleasrDAO has alleged that it purchased this same interest from the Wu-Tang defendants.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But in a ruling on Wednesday, citing her earlier decision that Shkreli’s lawyers “improperly asserted” those claims, Judge Chen closed the door on them: “the clerk of the court is respectfully directed to remove Diggs and Azzougarh as counter-defendants from the docket.”</p>

	<strong> </strong>Miss Jill Scott sits down with Billboard’s Gail Mitchell to discuss her new album ‘To Whom This May Concern,’ plus the generational impact & inspiration behind her music and collaborating with Too $hort, J.I.D, Tierra Whack and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Gail Mitchell:</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>I’m just so thrilled and jazzed, and I can’t even think of enough adjectives to describe how I feel sitting here next to this three-time Grammy Award winner who’s back with a new album, Miss Jill Scott. Hello! </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Jill Scott:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Hi Gail Mitchell.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Hey, welcome back. </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Oh my god. I can’t even remember the last time, it’s been a very long time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Right? And I was just thinking of figuring out some questions to ask you. This is a full-circle moment for the both of us, because you were my first front-page Billboard story with your debut album, ‘Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds, Volume 1,’ your debut album at the same time. So I was there for that, and now I’m back here for this, which I don’t know if you mind me saying this, but kind of like a rebirth. It’s just, oh my God, just the reception that you’ve gotten in the anticipation. This is your sixth studio album- </strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yes. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>‘To Whom This May Concern,’ and it reminds me of the anticipation for your first one, ‘Who Is Jill Scott.’ So when you first announced on social media this was coming, everything, everybody just kind of, oh my god. So was that the reaction you expected? I mean, it’s just tremendous. Were you nervous? Just what did you think when you got ready to hit the send button and let the world know that you were back.</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Honestly, it’s been like a whole process, like initially, I felt pregnant, and I felt tired of holding it, you know, the idea of giving your baby to the world and seeing what they’re going to do with it, you know, is it’s very, very scary, you know. You know this as a parent, you know, and I do too. I remembered what I call the album ‘To Whom This May Concern,’ which kind of released me in a sense, like, “Okay, this is for the people it’s for,” and the way that I know the universe, and I know the Creator I’m like, it’s going to go to who it’s for, the rest is not your concern. That made me feel better. Then I got excited, and I was like, oh, you know, we got what, you know, it’s a countdown. All right, here we go. I feel flustered, I feel excited, I feel tired, I feel thrilled. It’s all that.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Keep watching for more!</em></p>

	After <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/jill-scott/">Jill Scott</a> announced the arrival of her sixth studio album via Instagram on Jan. 2, a huge whoosh of air flooded across social media. That’s because fans had been waiting to exhale over the last 10 years while anticipating when the three-time Grammy winner would deliver a follow-up to <em>Woman</em>, which debuted at No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> in 2015.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s fitting that the next chapter in the love affair between Scott and her fans, <em>To Whom This May Concern </em>(Blues Babe/Human Re Sources/The Orchard), arrives the day before Valentine’s Day. Sitting down with <em>Billboard</em> ahead of the album’s Feb. 13 release, the singer-songwriter-actress-author noted early in the conversation that the long break between albums wasn’t due to any creative block. Like everyone else, she’s just been living life.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I did not have a creative block,” she emphasizes. “I just took a creative break. [The creative is] always there. It’s the energy that follows me around the house: in the shower, when I’m cleaning, making a bed. But I needed to take a break from that so that I could live life. I am, you know, a human being. So of course, there’s all kinds of stuff like perimenopause. That’s interesting. I have a teenager now; that’s different than ever before.</p>

	“I really don’t think you can create without having the balance between the two,” Scott continues. “It’s important to one, connect with yourself, remember who you are. Like I tell my folk, ‘Jill Scott doesn’t live in my house.’ Nobody calls me that in my house. There’s a separation so that I can fill her up. And that’s me. I have to fill me up so I can fill Jill Scott.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	And now, a full Jilly from Philly is back. And the anticipation for <em>To Whom This May Concern</em> — an added treat as we observe Black History Month — mirrors that for her debut album, which celebrated its silver anniversary last year: <em>Who Is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol. 1. </em>Scott has already paved the way for the 19-track album’s arrival with the release of three insightful songs: “Beautiful People,” “Pressha” and “Don’t Play.” Boasting a colorful guest cast that includes Ab-Soul, J.I.D., Tierra Whack, Too $hort, Trombone Shorty and Maha Adachi Earth, the set was coproduced by Scott in collaboration with Adam Blackstone, Vincent “VT” Tolan and DJ Premier, among others. It was also just announced that Scott will also be performing at New York’s Blue Note on Feb. 14.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Check out additional revelations about the new album and other subjects (like what’s up with that movie sequel for Netflix, <em>Why Did I Get Married Again?</em>) in <em>Billboard</em>‘s video series <em>In Conversation: Jill Scott</em> above.</p>

	If the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/charli-xcx-soundtracks-steamy-wuthering-heights-teaser-1236058436/">trailer is to be believed</a>, the new movie promises lots of romance, intrigue and steamy scenes between the two leads, with <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/wuthering-heights-review-roundup-critics-1236500830/" target="_blank">one reviewer</a> calling the book-to-film adaptation “sexy, pervy, irreverent and resonantly tragic.” The soundtrack, meantime, features <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/charli-xcx/">Charli xcx</a> contributing an <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/charli-xcx-wuthering-heights-tracklist-sky-ferreira-collab-1236166558/">album of original songs</a>, including a track titled “Eyes of the World” featuring Sky Ferreira.</p>

	The release of <em>Wuthering Heights </em>has also spawned a host of new merch, from <a href="https://wwd.com/shop/shop-fashion/best-wuthering-heights-fashion-beauty-home-collections-shop-1238557161/" target="_blank">official collaborations</a> to fan-made releases. Hot Topic, meantime, has a capsule collection of <em>Wuthering Heights</em> merch that nods to the Emerald Fennell film’s darker undertones. Think of it like goth-meets-girly, an apt description too perhaps, for Cathy’s descent into madness.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No need to be mad when it comes to merch though. Here’s a look at some of the best <em>Wuthering Heights</em> clothing, accessories and gifts that you can buy online now.</p>

		There’s a scene in the new movie where Cathy (Robbie) asks her friend and minder Nelly (played by Hong Chau) to strap her in tighter into her corset, in order to look good for her new husband, Edgar Linton. You won’t have to tug as hard on this corset, which is made from a velvet-like material with embroidered vines, hearts and a skull on the front. 	</p>

</div>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A ribbon lace-up (and buckles) on the back help this corset stay in place. And there’s 10% spandex in the material too so even though you’re wearing a corset, you’ll still be able to move freely. Choose from sizes XS to 3X.</p>

	<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/gracie-abrams/">Gracie Abrams</a> has made her opinion clear when it comes to the recent removal of the Pride flag from Stonewall Monument in New York City.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Tuesday (Feb. 10), the singer/songwriter reshared comedian Benito Skinner’s post about the matter on her Instagram Story. Skinner had amplified a <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/us/pride-flag-stonewall-inn-monument.html?partner=slack&smid=sl-share">New York Times</a> </em>article on the removal of the flag under a Donald Trump administration directive and wrote one word to sum up what he thought about it, with which Abrams agreed: “Demonic.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The musician’s post comes one day after employees of the Stonewall Inn — the Greenwich Village bar known as the origin point of the LGBTQ rights movement — first noticed that the Pride flag was missing from the federally owned Stonewall Monument out front, according to <em>NYT</em>. Weeks prior, the Department of the Interior had issued a federal guidance about not displaying “non-agency” flags in the National Park System.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a statement on <a href="https://x.com/NYCMayor/status/2021308844308045912?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">X</a>, recently elected NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani said that he was “outraged” by the seizure of the flag. “New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history,” he wrote. “Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Abrams has long been outspoken in her political beliefs. In December, she released a song called “Sold Out” with frequent collaborator Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/gracie-abrams-aaron-dessner-bon-iver-song-end-gun-violence-1236144419/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to benefit Everytown</a>, a non-profit that works to end gun violence, after a string of shootings across the globe that month.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Shortly before that, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/gracie-abrams-slams-donald-trump-vile-narcissism-rob-reiner-1236139096/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Abrams spoke out </a>about the inhumane conditions Palestinian people are facing in Gaza and slammed President Trump for mocking Rob Reiner in a Truth Social post right after the filmmaker and his wife, Michele, were killed in their home. “Within 24 hours of the most unimaginable tragedy a family can endure, we see the President yet again reveal the most poisonous and vile narcissism maybe in the history of humanity,” she wrote on her Story at the time, calling Trump “indefensible.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It is getting harder to find the words to describe the pain in the world,” she added. “I am lighting a candle for everybody who is hurting.”</p>

	The post was accompanied by the LP’s cover art, which features a motion-blurred image of the “Lovin on Me” rapper with his eyes shut while rocking a pair of shades and a brown cap tilted to the side. </p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fans excitedly hopped into the comments, welcoming the return of Missionary Jack, while others wondered who exactly Monica might be. Former NFL star Victor Cruz and New York Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns hyped the announcement with emoji comments as well. </p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The sonic direction of Harlow’s next endeavor remains unclear, but a press release reveals that the 27-year-old recorded the album at the famed Electric Lady Studios in New York City following his move to the Big Apple. Plenty of music legends have made Electric Lady home during their careers, including <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lady-gaga">Lady Gaga,</a> <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift </a>and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/stevie-wonder">Stevie Wonder. </a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s possible Harlow’s time recording at Electric Lady overlapped with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lorde">Lorde </a>when she was working on <em>Virgin</em>. During an <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/G1xmnCKhxW4">Apple Music interview</a> with Zane Lowe last year, Lorde recalled Harlow being wowed by her songwriting after playing the album for him.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Jack Harlow was working at Electric Lady when we were there towards the end of the record and somehow ended up getting most of the album played to him,” she explained. “It was a very funny, cool link. He’s such a sweetheart. But he was like, ‘Your bars are… These are bars!’ I was like, ‘Your words, not mine.’”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While <em>Monica</em> will arrive March 13, vinyl pre-orders are now available to order the LP on <a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://shop.jackharlow.us/?ref=direct">Harlow’s website. </a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Harlow has remained quiet on the music side for the better part of a year, as his most recent single, “Just Us,” was released last March, featuring an assist from <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/doja-cat">Doja Cat.</a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	It’s been nearly three years since Jack Harlow’s last album. Harlow released <em>Jackman</em> in April 2023, which reached the top 10 of the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> (No. 8). </p>

	On Thursday (Feb. 5), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Best-Coast">Best Coast</a> frontwoman <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bethany-cosentino/">Bethany Cosentino</a> was the first artist signed to the powerful Wasserman agency <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/bethany-cosentino-casey-waserman-exit-agency-epstein-ties/">to speak out</a> over revelations that its founder and CEO, <strong>Casey Wasserman</strong>, had carried on a flirtatious relationship with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell — the main accomplice of convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein — after the latest tranche of 3 million files in the Epstein case was released. Expressing anger over Wasserman’s apology, in which the executive said he “deeply regret[s]” his communications with Maxwell, Cosentino called for Wasserman to step down from his post and for the agency to change its name, among other demands.</p>

	Since Cosentino’s Instagram post went live, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/casey-wasserman-epstein-fallout-dropkick-murphys-speak-out/">several more artists</a> — mainly indie acts — have responded to the controversy. Though these responses have varied somewhat, most have either announced their exit from the agency over the revelations or seemingly threatened to leave if Wasserman isn’t held accountable for his actions. Nearly all have expressed support for their agents. On Monday evening (Feb. 9), <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/chappell-roan/">Chappell Roan</a> became the first major star to speak out on the issue, writing that she had <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chappell-roan-exits-wasserman-agency-ceo-jeffrey-epstein/">left the agency</a> amid the growing outrage (without explicity mentioning Epstein or Maxwell).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The growing number of artist defections is now continuing to snowball into a major issue for Wasserman and his namesake agency, which represents such superstars as <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ed-sheeran">Ed Sheeran</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Coldplay">Coldplay</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sza">SZA</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/noah-kahan">Noah Kahan</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lorde">Lorde</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kenny-chesney">Kenny Chesney</a>. Will any of those other big acts follow Roan’s lead? </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Below, we’ve rounded up every Wasserman artist who has spoken out on the issue. We’ll continue updating the list as more of them make their feelings known.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	St. Louis CITY SC, the fourth-year Major League Soccer team, has unveiled a unique “Tina Turner Kit,” a first-of-its-kind collaboration with sporting giant adidas that pays tribute to the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee  — and to the city that helped shape her. The club’s tribute marks adidas’ first‑ever kit collab with a female music artist in global sport, according to the announcement.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tenn., Turner arrived in St. Louis at 16, settling in The Ville neighborhood and graduating from Sumner High before diving into the city’s vibrant R&B scene. It was in local clubs like Club Manhattan where she first met Ike Turner and, in a pivotal 1957 moment, grabbed a microphone during an intermission — a choice that ultimately led to the Ike & Tina Turner Revue and her rise to stardom. Though her early career was marked by personal hardship, St. Louis remained the birthplace of her artistic identity.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The team said on Tuesday that the new kit was designed to capture the energy of Turner’s iconic stage presence. The gold jersey echoes the shimmer of her signature fringed minidresses, with her silhouette stamped in metallic gold on the tag and her signature in “CITY Red” as a nod to her distinctive lipstick and nails. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The kit, created with adidas, Turner’s estate, BMG and Warner Music Group, will serve as CITY’s secondary jersey for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“St. Louis is a homecoming for Tina,” said <strong>Erwin Bach</strong>, Turner’s husband. “It’s where she first felt the thrill of the stage and the joy of performing.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Not only did Tina Turner change music, she impacted culture over decades and continues to permeate it today,” added Carolyn Kindle, the team’s CEO. “It is a profound honor to celebrate her influence and legacy. St. Louis has long been home to artists who shaped music history, and Tina stands at the top of that list.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	To further honor Turner, who <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/tina-turner-dead-obituary-7318783/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/tina-turner-dead-obituary-7318783/">died in 2023 at age 83</a>, the club has organized a slate of cultural events, headlined by <em>Eternal: A Tribute to Tina Turner</em> — a one‑night‑only concert on Feb. 15 featuring Grammy winner <strong>Brittany Howard</strong> of Alabama Shakes performing with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra at the newly renovated Powell Hall.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Tina Turner has inspired me since I was a child. Her spirit and her strength are reflected in her songs, which have shaped my own sound and my journey as an artist,” said Howard. “Joining St. Louis CITY SC and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in honoring her is personal for me. I am thrilled to celebrate Tina and her lasting legacy that continues resound today.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Joining the tribute is STL native and <em>The Voice</em> finalist <strong>Kennedy Holmes</strong>, along with a lineup of acclaimed vocalists, including <strong>Tamika Lawrence</strong> and <strong>Shaleah Adkisson</strong>, performing orchestral arrangements of Turner’s greatest hits under the direction of <strong>Stéphane Denève</strong> and guest conductor <strong>Anthony Parnther</strong>.</p>

	“It is such an honor to join Brittany in paying tribute to one of the most iconic female musicians of all time and a woman who I deeply admire,” said Holmes. “As a young artist who is also from St. Louis, I am in awe of Tina’s extraordinary career and her rise to becoming one of the most celebrated artists in the world.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Added Erwin Bach: “I’m especially excited for the orchestral interpretation of ‘Proud Mary’ and the initiatives around town. Local kids will discover the power of music and how performance makes it even more meaningful. Special thanks are also extended to the Taylor family for their enthusiasm and continued support of music and sport in the St. Louis community.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The celebration extends beyond the pitch with a Tina Turner Pop‑up Shop at City Foundry, where fans can buy the new jersey and view items from Turner’s personal collection — including wardrobe pieces and Grammy Awards (she won eight of them). Running Feb. 11–20, the pop‑up is part of a broader tribute that also includes a new Tina‑focused music education program created with COCA, a local arts organization, that will introduce kids and young adults to her repertoire through music instruction and choreography inspired by her performances, funded in part by proceeds from Tina Turner Kit sales.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Festivities culminate on Tina Turner Night at CITY SC’s home match on Aug. 22.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	CITY has made music a core part of its identity since its inaugural season in 2023, partnering with hometown rapper Smino on the Homegrown initiative to elevate local artists through mentorship and match‑day performances. The club has hosted major acts at its block parties, collaborated with Smino on a tornado‑relief streetwear collection, and featured the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for special game‑day moments.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	TIA RAY’s latest self-penned English album <em>NEW DAY</em> stands as a testament that Chinese artists are now poised to shine brightly on the world’s musical platform.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For anyone attuned to the Chinese pop music scene, TIA RAY is undoubtedly a name that commands attention. A singer devoted to fusing Chinese musical sensibilities with Western genres like jazz, R&B and soul, she collaborated with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kehlani/">Kehlani</a> as early as seven years ago. She has frequently traveled overseas to work directly with Grammy-winning producers on her projects. Throughout her decadelong career, she has consistently pushed the boundaries of her artistic expression.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While soul and R&B are not China’s mainstream genres, TIA’s prolific creativity and exceptional vocal talent have garnered an ever-growing fanbase. She has already headlined major arena tours across China, captivating tens of thousands at each show. In 2018, she made history as the first Chinese singer to enter the IFPI Global Top 10 Singles chart, securing the seventh position. She also set an attendance record as the closing act at the Australian SXSW music festival. Rooted in China yet resonating globally, she serves as a vital bridge connecting Chinese music with the international scene.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>NEW DAY</em> represents another bold stride in expanding her musical lexicon. As a fully self-composed album, TIA was intimately involved in crafting every track. The involvement of top-tier producers — Antonio Dixon, Khris Riddick-Tynes, Tommy Brown and Warren “Oak” Felder — ensures production quality that rivals leading Western artists. Notably, Khris Riddick-Tynes, a core producer on TIA’s album, just won best R&B song at the 68th Grammy Awards for his work on Kehlani’s “Folded.” Furthermore, TIA’s extraordinary vocal prowess has drawn acclaim from Panos A. Panay, chairman of the Recording Academy, and four-time Grammy winner Luca Bignardi.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yet, TIA’s multifaceted artistry imbues these tracks with a distinctive character that sets them apart from mainstream Western offerings.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While soul and R&B form the core of her sound, TIA continually experiments by blending these genres with contemporary elements. The opening track “Phone” pairs ’80s-tinged emotive guitar and strings with a modern tale of emotional betrayal. “COLOR BLIND” begins with a Motown-inspired intro before seamlessly evolving into a fresh fusion of soul and electronic elements. “HEART SHAPED HOLE” polishes future bass and intimate spoken-word to a delicate, ethereal finish. In “PRESSURE,” Afrobeats rhythms intertwine with breathy vocals, revealing a unique Eastern sensibility. “BALANCE” fluidly merges Jersey Club and trap, bridging R&B with dance-floor energy.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“BEAUTIFUL DAY” evokes the dreamy sunlight after a night of revelry. “FLOWING LOTUS,” with its natural sounds and distinct Eastern flair, unveils a deeper emotional layer of the album, proving her voice profoundly moving even without complex production. “OLD DAYS” showcases the exquisite nuance of her vocals—her ability to capture subtle emotions is a standout strength, distinguishing her from many R&B peers. Over sparse guitar in “COLD,” her flexible melisma mimics a sudden chill, demonstrating her skill in conveying thoughtful details through voice alone. The mid-tempo “CALL ME” leads to another album highlight, “BORED.” As the lead single, it remains one of the strongest tracks, where retro soul and hip-hop beats create a modern, wild, and effortlessly sensual vibe that TIA owns completely. Finally, “OCEAN OF THE SUN” closes the album with fluid soundscapes and New Age elements, painting a mystical picture reminiscent of Eastern ink wash painting — a richly evocative conclusion.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Perhaps TIA RAY’s music truly transcends East-West dichotomies. In her voice and creations, diverse influences have long been fused into a unique whole, reflecting varied hues from different angles. Her R&B possesses a rare diversity and inclusivity, where tenderness and wildness co-exist in harmony. She is a pride of Asian music and deserves the attention of music lovers worldwide.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The award has previously gone to the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty, Patti Smith, Stephen Schwartz, Dr. Dre, Carly Simon, Billy Joel, Tom Waits, Elmer Bernstein, Jeff Lynne, Diane Warren, Quincy Jones, Neil Young and Elvis Costello.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The award will recognize Sandler’s contributions to music and songwriting across comedy, film and popular culture. Sandler will accept the award at the 2026 ASCAP Experience, a full day of panels, workshops and performances, which will be held Thursday (Feb. 12) at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Adam is a giant of comedy, and so many of his most hilarious onscreen moments are based in music and song,” ASCAP chairman of the board and president <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/paul-williams/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/paul-williams/">Paul Williams</a> said in a statement. “From Opera Man to ‘The Chanukah Song’ to ‘Grow Old With You,’ Adam’s genius ability to seamlessly blend comedy and music helps us all appreciate the wonders and absurdities of life and love. ASCAP is honored to recognize Adam Sandler for his singular contributions to the comedy music canon.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	An ASCAP member for 33 years, Sandler has made his mark on comedy and music with nearly 450 ASCAP-registered works ranging from amusing ballads to playful sing-alongs. His 1995 classic “The Chanukah Song,” recorded live at UC Santa Barbara, reached No. 10 on <em>Billboard</em>‘s Hot 100 Airplay chart. His 1996 follow-up, “The Thanksgiving Song,” also cracked that chart.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	From his famous <em>SNL</em> classics like “Lunchlady Land” and “Red Hooded Sweatshirt” to newer songs like his heartfelt tribute to Chris Farley in his 2019 Netflix special <em>100% Fresh</em>, no Sandler sketch is complete without a song.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sandler has released six albums, three of which received Grammy nominations for best spoken comedy album: <em>They’re All Gonna Laugh at You!</em>, <em>What the Hell Happened to Me? </em>and <em>Stan and Judy’s Kid.</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sandler’s songs are also featured in several of his hit films including <em>The Wedding Singer</em> (“Grow Old With You”), <em>50 First Dates</em> (“Forgetful Lucy”), <em>The Meyerowitz Stories</em> (“Genius Girl”) and <em>Eight Crazy Nights</em> (“The Chanukah Song, Part 3”).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Now entering its 20th year, ASCAP Experience is designed to unite aspiring songwriters, composers and producers with hitmakers and industry leaders, offering practical guidance, creative inspiration, and essential tools for navigating the future of music.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Confirmed to participate in the 2026 <em>Experience</em> are Grammy-winning songwriter/producer duo Nova Wav (Beyoncé, Rihanna), writer and activist Justin Tranter (Chappell Roan, Justin Bieber), Oscar-nominated songwriter Mark Sonnenblick (<em>KPop Demon Hunters</em>), four-time Grammy-winning creator James Fauntleroy (Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars), hitmaker Andreas Carlsson (Backstreet Boys, NSYNC), and writer-producers Darrell Brown (Keith Urban, LeAnn Rimes) and Theron “Neff-U” Feemster (Justin Bieber, Sia), among others. In addition, legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis will join ASCAP Experience for an afternoon fireside chat.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The day kicks off with ASCAP’s membership meeting, opening with a performance from <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/cautious-clay/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/cautious-clay/">Cautious Clay</a>, followed by remarks from Williams and ASCAP CEO Elizabeth Matthews. After that, a mix of panels, performances and workshops will take place.</p>

	“Five solo albums now — I was just buzzing that I got to do the first one after [leaving] the band, [and] people seemed to care,” he continues in conversation with host Alex Cooper. “I’m really proud of the progression and just the development and understanding of myself through my music.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As announced Feb. 4, <em>Konnakol </em>will arrive April 17, complete with 15 tracks. Its lead single, “Die for Me,” dropped two days after the album news.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The new era comes a decade after Malik first burst onto the pop scene as a soloist after departing 1D in 2015. His debut effort as a one-man show, <em>Mind of Mine</em>, peaked at No. 1 on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a>, after which the singer released <em>Icarus Falls</em>, <em>Nobody Is Listening </em>and <em>Room Under the Stairs</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With <em>Konnakol, </em>Malik hopes fans “get more insight on maybe my culture and heritage,” he tells Cooper on <em>Call Her Daddy </em>in the exclusive clip.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The U.K.-born musician is of Pakistani descent and was raised Muslim by his parents. The word “Konnakol,” which Malik used for his fifth album’s title, is a “vocal percussion technique used in South Indian Carnatic music, where complex rhythmic patterns are spoken aloud using specific syllables,” according to <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/hannahabraham/2026/02/04/what-does-zayn-maliks-new-album-name-konnakol-mean/">Forbes</a></em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyond the new album, Malik’s podcast appearance also comes ahead of his 31-date Konnakol <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/zayn-2026-tour-dates-konnakol-1236173939/">arena tour</a> through the U.K. and North and South America. To gear up for the trek, he recently closed out a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/zayn-jokes-expensive-concerts-harry-styles-ticket-prices-1236166359/">seven-night residency</a> at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He’s also not the only former One Direction member who’s been dropping music as of late. In January, Harry Styles returned from a four-year break in releases to unleash “Aperture,” his third<a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Billboard Hot 100</a> No. 1 hit. That same month, Louis Tomlinson unveiled <em>How Did I Get Here?</em>, securing a No. 1 slot on the U.K. albums chart.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There are a handful of pending bills before the 119th Congress that are being closely watched by the music industry. These pieces of federal legislation could affect artists, consumers and companies across many different areas of the business, including songwriting, licensing, tourism, royalties, ticketing and live performances. <br> <br>Many of these bills have bipartisan support from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, and industry players have been heavily involved in advocating for their passage: The Recording Academy and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have signed onto many of them, as have corporate giants like the major record labels and Live Nation.  <br> <br>The legislative process is long and at times difficult to decipher. Many bills get introduced more than once over the years, often with different versions in the Senate and House of Representatives. There are committee reviews, hearings and revisions before a bill makes it to the floor for a congressional vote and, eventually if passed, the desk of the president to be signed into law.  <br> <br>In the interest of compiling all the information in one place, <em>Billboard </em>has put together a list of all the music-related legislation currently before the 119th Congress. Below, you can read about the history behind each bill, who supports it and what impact it would have on the industry.  <br> <br>We’re keeping track of developments for each piece of proposed legislation, and this list will update as bills move through the House and Senate. We’ll also add new bills as they’re introduced and tell you why they matter for the music business.  </p>

	Zarin was set to star alongside fellow <em>Real Housewives of New York</em> alumnae Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensmon and Sonja Morgan in the Palm Beach-set reality series, which was just announced on Feb. 3 and hadn’t yet started production.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a minute-long video posted to Zarin’s Instagram account on Sunday, the reality star called Bad Bunny’s performance “the worst halftime show ever.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s 250 years that we’re celebrating right now in the United States, and I just don’t think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish,” Zarin said in the now-deleted video. “And quite frankly, I didn’t need to see him grabbing his G-area. I think it was totally inappropriate. You’ve got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl, and he doesn’t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds. Is he so insecure? Seriously. I don’t speak Spanish. I would have liked to understand the words he was saying.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She also complained that the Puerto Rican superstar was making a “political statement” with the performance. “To me, it looked like a political statement, because there were literally no white people in the entire thing. I think it was a political statement, and I’m not taking a side one way or the other, I just do. I think it was an ICE thing.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She added that “the NFL sold out” by booking Bad Bunny and also accused guest performer Lady Gaga of getting a facelift that left her unrecognizable. “I didn’t recognize her! I literally had to Google her face to see who it was.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Zarin was an original castmember on Bravo’s New York-set <em>Real Housewives</em> from 2008 to 2011.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny/">Bad Bunny</a> is focused less on spectacle and more on feeling as he prepares to headline the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-2026-headliner-1236077527/" data-type="post" data-id="1236077527">Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a new interview with <a rel="nofollow" data-id="accessonline.com/videos/bad-bunny-reflects-on-bagging-groceries-10-years-before-super-bowl-halftime-show" data-type="link" href="https://accessonline.com/videos/bad-bunny-reflects-on-bagging-groceries-10-years-before-super-bowl-halftime-show" target="_blank">Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans</a>, the global superstar, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, opened up about the mindset behind his highly anticipated halftime performance, reflecting on his journey from bagging groceries to one of the biggest stages in the world.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I just want to be there,” Bad Bunny said when asked how he’s feeling in the final days before the show. “I’m just ready to do it. I want to feel it. I want people to watch it and enjoy it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Selecting the setlist for the halftime performance proved to be one of the biggest challenges. “That was tough,” he admitted. “Even for my shows on tour, it’s hard to pick 30 or 40 songs. So imagine for 30 minutes. It was very hard. The selection process was very intense.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Rather than focusing on hits alone, Bad Bunny said he approached the show as a storytelling exercise. “I had a vision about the story, the mood, and the feelings that I want to put on that show,” he explained. “I want people to feel happiness and joy. I want to make people dance. I want to make them feel proud and think that everything is possible.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The interview also revisited where Bad Bunny was just a decade ago. In 2016, he was working at a grocery store while making beats on the side — a reality he says still shapes his perspective.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“That’s true. I was working in a grocery store, making beats at the same time,” he said. “Broke, with a lot of dreams and goals. And now I’m still dreaming. I’m still enjoying this. I’m still doing this with the same passion and the same love as the first day, before I got popular or successful.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When the call came confirming he would headline the Super Bowl halftime show, Bad Bunny said he was at the gym — and didn’t tell anyone right away. “Nobody,” he said when asked who he called first. “Not even my mom and dad. I always keep everything secret until I know it’s official.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Fresh off the 2026 Grammy Awards, where he added three more trophies to his career total, Bad Bunny also shared a moment with Lady Gaga that stuck with him. “She said, ‘I love you,’” he recalled. “And I was like, ‘I love you too.’ I always get very emotional when I see her. I admire her a lot.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As for what he hopes audiences take away once his time on stage ends, Bad Bunny kept it simple. “That I’m an honest artist. That I’m myself. That I don’t act to be anything that I’m not,” he said. “That I’m proud of who I am and where I come from. The music is universal. You can connect heart to heart with a song, even without lyrics.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	He added: “I’m just a normal guy that makes music.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on Sunday, Feb. 8, during Super Bowl LX, airing on NBC and Peacock.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ludwig-goransson/">Ludwig Göransson</a> won two competitive awards for his work on <em>Sinners </em>at the 2026 Society of Composers & Lyricists Awards, which were held on Friday (Feb. 6) at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. The Swedish composer wonoutstanding original score for a studio film and outstanding original song for a dramatic or documentary visual media production for “I Lied to You” which he co-wrote with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/raphael-saadiq/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/raphael-saadiq/">Raphael Saadiq</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition, Göransson and director Ryan Coogler received the Spirit of Collaboration Award, the SCL’s most distinctive and meaningful award, which recognizes a composer/director partnership that has created a significant and enduring body of work. Since their first collaboration on Coogler’s <em>Fruitvale Station</em> (2013), Göransson has scored all of Coogler’s feature films as a director — <em>Creed</em> (2015), <em>Black Panther</em> (2018), <em>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</em> (2022), and <em>Sinners</em> (2025). Göransson has received four of his five Oscar nominations for work on Coogler films. This year, he is Oscar-nominated for both best original score and best original song for “I Lied to You.”</p>

	Göransson accepted the award for the pair because Coogler had a family emergency and couldn’t attend.  “I met Ryan Coogler very early on in my life,” he said. “I was about 23 years old. I had just moved to LA from Sweden. I didn’t know anyone. We met at a party. We played pool together, and we instantly just started talking about music. He knew a lot about Swedish artists and Swedish music and we started talking about music and he told me was in the directing program. And I didn’t think much more about it until a couple of months later, when he reached out and asked if I would like to score his first short film, which was <em>locks</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“And I remember when I played him the first cue from our first student film, Ryan heard the music, and he just jumped out of his seat. And in a way, it kind of still feels like that when we work together. I still feel like we’re those same kids. When we work together, we have the same kind of shared excitement for the project.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Göransson said the pair especially bonded on <em>Sinners</em>, when they both moved to New Orleans with their families for the three-month shoot. “You know, being there with Ryan, with Serena [Göransson’s wife and the film’s executive music producer], with Zinzi [Coogler’s wife] and with our families really made it feel like such a partnership. And I think that’s what’s so special about working with working with Ryan. He feels like a true partner.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Bacon Brothers, consisting of actor-musician <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kevin-bacon/">Kevin Bacon</a> and his older brother, composer Michael Bacon, cohosted the seventh annual SCL Awards. They performed a few songs, including Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose,” the title song from the 1984 film that made Kevin Bacon a star, and The Isley Brothers’ “Shout,” which was memorably featured in the 1978 film <em>Animal House</em>, which was Bacon’s first film.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The SCL Awards ceremony comes at nearly the midpoint between the announcement of the Oscar nominations on Jan. 22 and the opening of first-round Oscar voting on Feb. 26, which makes it an important stop on the Oscar campaign trail.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ejae/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/ejae/">EJAE</a> and Mark Sonnenblick won outstanding original song for a comedy or musical for “Golden” from <em>KPop Demon Hunters</em>. The win marks the latest accolade for the global smash, which has already received a Grammy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award, and is widely seen as the front-runner to win the Oscar.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	 “Songwriting and music composing is a form of coping with human feelings,” EJAE said in accepting the award. “And songwriting helped me get through getting dropped by a label. Fast forward to right now with ‘Golden,’ it helped so many people get through hard times. I have had so many fans come up to me talking about that, you know, helping them get through depression. And so, it just goes to show that even though this song was written for a fictional animation film, the effect it had on people is real.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Sonnenblick added: “This is a movie that is all about collaboration. In the movie, it’s not ‘I’m going up up up,’ it’s ‘we’re going up up up,’ and that’s the only way it happens. We are all collaborators in different ways. It’s just an honor to be in a room of collaborators and to be up here together accepting this award.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Train Dreams</em> composer <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryce-dessner/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryce-dessner/">Bryce Dessner </a>won outstanding original score for an independent film. Dessner’s score was not nominated for an Oscar, but his title song (co-written with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/nick-cave/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/nick-cave/">Nick Cave</a>) was nominated for best original song.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Wicked: For Good</em> composer Stephen Schwartz, who tied Göransson with three SCL Awards nods, was shut out at the ceremony.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In television categories, two-time Emmy-winning composer Theodore Shapiro won outstanding original score for a television production for <em>Severance,</em> and Cristóbal Tapia de Veer won outstanding original title sequence for a television production for <em>The White Lotus</em>, his third SCL Award in this category.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Austin Wintory won outstanding original score for interactive media for <em>Sword of the Sea</em>. Composer Ching-Shan Chang was presented with the David Raksin award for emerging talent for her score for <em>Laws of Man</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	SCL Awards nominees and winners are determined solely by member composers and songwriters.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The SCL celebrated the 50th anniversary of <em>Rocky</em> with a musical tribute and performance conducted by Oscar-winning composer <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bill-conti/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bill-conti/">Bill Conti</a> who scored five films in the <em>Rocky</em> franchise and co-composed its iconic theme song, “Gonna Fly Now,” a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Melissa Manchester performed for the In Memoriam segment, singing “I’ll Never Say Goodbye,” the Oscar-nominated from the 1979 film <em>The Promise</em>, written by David Shire and the late Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/alan-bergman/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/alan-bergman/">Alan Bergman</a>, who died in 2025, was featured during the segment. Manchester sang the song on the film soundtrack and at the Oscar ceremony in 1980.</p>

<media:keywords>Robyn, Announces, First, Australian, Tour, 14 Years</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! -->

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Swedish pop icon <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/robyn/">Robyn</a> will return to Australia in November 2026 for her first run of headline shows in the country in fourteen years.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The tour marks Robyn’s first Australian performances since 2012, when she last visited the region during the <em>Body Talk</em> era, including an appearance at Parklife Festival. This time, the artist will play two arena shows: Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Nov. 21 and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Nov. 24.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Australian dates arrive as part of Robyn’s first major global tour since 2019 and coincide with the rollout of her forthcoming album <em><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/robyn-sexistential-performance-the-late-show-watch-1236151065/">Sexistential</a></em>, due March 27. The record follows 2018’s <em>Honey</em> and represents her first full-length release in eight years.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Robyn recently previewed the project with singles “Talk To Me” and “Sexistential,” following earlier track “Dopamine.” In announcing the album last month, she described its emotional tone as a return inward after years of exploration. “It’s like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing,” she said in a statement. “That’s how I felt — like I’d been searching too far out into space, and now I’m crashing back into myself.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Known for pairing club-ready production with deeply introspective songwriting, Robyn’s influence on modern pop and electronic music has remained enduring. Her <em>Body Talk</em> trilogy (2010) helped redefine dance-pop in the 2010s, producing era-defining tracks including “Dancing On My Own,” “Call Your Girlfriend” and “Indestructible.” Though she has toured selectively in recent years, the upcoming run represents her largest slate of headline shows since before the pandemic.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The tour announcement follows news that Robyn will open select European dates for Harry Styles in Amsterdam later this year, further signaling an active new chapter in her career.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tickets for the Australian shows will be available via multiple pre-sale windows. Mastercard cardholders can access pre-sale tickets beginning Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by a Live Nation Members pre-sale on Feb. 12 at 11 a.m. local time. General public tickets go on sale Feb. 13 at 12 p.m. local time.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Additional international tour dates across Europe and North America are expected to be announced.</p>

	<em>From career milestones to new music releases to major announcements and those little important moments, </em>Billboard <em>editors highlight <a href="https://www.billboard.com/t/uplifting-moments/">uplifting moments</a> in Latin music.

		Laura Pausini Sings at Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics	</h2>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Grammy-winning artist Laura Pausini delivered a soul-stirring rendition of Italy’s national anthem, “Il Canto degli Italiani,” at the Opening Ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday (Feb. 6). Backed by a choir dressed in Italy’s flag colors, Pausini — wearing an elegant black open-shoulder gown by Giorgio Armani — delivered an emotional performance that set the tone for the global event, celebrating Italy’s rich history. The anthem was written by Goffredo Mameli in the 1800s, serving as a powerful reminder of Italy’s fight for unity and independence. Watch the moment below.</p>

		Fania Legends to Celebrate Johnny Pacheco in New York City	</h2>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	The Winter Olympics of Milano Cortina 2026 are the major event that perpetuates Milan’s renewed international momentum, which began more than a decade ago with Expo 2015. They are also a strategic opportunity for Italy in a geopolitical context where international relations are rapidly changing and are also at stake in symbolic events such as sporting ones, as well as in the host country’s ability to manage them at best.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This is why on Friday night (Feb. 6), all eyes were on the Opening Ceremony of Milano Cortina 2026, which took place across the various venues of this edition of the Games — Cortina d’Ampezzo, Predazzo and Livigno — but centered at Milan’s San Siro Stadium, with a three-and-a-half-hour megashow created by Balich Wonder Studio, specialized in the creative direction of major events and with extensive expertise in Olympic ceremonies.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The show revolved around the concept of harmony, as well as Italianness.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The Opening Ceremony is not just an exercise in technology or spectacle,” Marco Balich stated before the event. “It is, above all, a story told through people and emotions. In a complex world, we want to convey a message of harmony, beauty, and peace that can speak to everyone.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Among the highly anticipated musical guests were <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/mariah-carey/">Mariah Carey</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/laura-pausini/">Laura Pausini</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/andrea-bocelli/">Andrea Bocelli</a>. In addition, the evening’s musical component included the participation of over 500 musicians who composed the original soundtracks.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The schedule began in the afternoon at the iconic Teatro Alla Scala, home to the official Red Carpet. Many protagonists of past editions of the Olympics passed by, from American snowboarder Shaun White (three-time gold medalist) to Dutch figure skating champion Irene Schouten. Icons from a wide range of fields, from cinema to fashion, were also present: Jeff Goldblum, Donatella Versace, Stanley Tucci and Marisa Tomei.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The music artists are those who catch our attention. Sunghoon of ENHYPEN had already distinguished himself as a torchbearer. At the Scala Theatre, he’s dressed very elegant, in a black suit and white shirt.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Both athletes and K-Pop artists have the goal to make the fans happy and enjoy the event,” he says, having practiced figure skating competitively for 10 years. “When I was an athlete, my dream was to participate in the Olympics. Being here as an artist feels different but I’m also very honored.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Also making an almost unexpected appearance is Usher, who talks about relationship between music and sport. “Music and sports go hand in hand. Music, for example, is very important in figure skating. But for the most part, it ultimately gives the athletes a soundtrack that helps to compel and push through,” he says.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Opening Ceremony of Milano Cortina 2026 begins at 8 p.m. sharp with choreographic performances: 70 dancers from the Academy of Teatro Alla Scala reinterpret the myth of Cupid and Psyche. The shades of white and the chiaroscuro of the clothes, which recall the art of the neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova, are then transformed into an explosion of color accompanied by the music of Italian classical composers Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini and Gioachino Rossini.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After a tribute to Italian creativity, it’s time for one of the evening’s stars, Mariah Carey. The diva, center stage and surrounded by dancers, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/mariah-carey-sings-italian-winter-olympics-opening-ceremony-1236175031/">sings a cover</a> of Domenico Modugno’s classic “Nel Blu, Dipinto di Blu” (also commonly known as “Volare”), completely rearranged and enriched with her famous high notes. This is followed by a hit song from her repertoire, “Nothing Is Impossible.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, and the President of the International Olympic Committee, Kirsty Coventry, take their seats in the grandstand. A heartfelt tribute to Giorgio Armani follows. The king of Italian fashion passed away last September. Models parade wearing his creations, colored in green, white, and red, like the national flag.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Then it’s time for another highly anticipated star, Laura Pausini. Under the Italian flag, the pop star sings the national anthem. The long parade of athletes follows (over an hour), from Greece (traditionally first) to Italy, the host country. The crowd boos as the Israeli flag passes by and applauds the Ukrainian team with vigor.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Then it’s time for the institutional speeches. Giovanni Malagò, President of the Milano Cortina Foundation, takes the floor first.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I love my country, I love sports. I’ve never been as proud to be Italian as I am tonight,” he says. “To the athletes I say: this is your time. Your years of dedication, the courage to dream, the determination to push the boundaries… These Games belong to you. During a time in which the world is so divided by conflicts, your very presence demonstrates that another world is possible. Unity, respect, harmony.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After him, Kirsty Coventry speaks, still addressing the athletes.<br>“Through you, we see the very best of ourselves,” she says. “You remind us that we can be brave, that we can be kind. When we see se an athlete stumble and find the strength to rise, we’re all reminded that we can do the same. When we see athletes embrace at the finish line, we’re reminded that we can choose respect. No matter where we come from, we all know this spirit.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Also present at the San Siro Stadium is the actress Charlize Theron, Messenger of Peace of the United Nations, who reads a monologue inspired by a speech by Nelson Mandela. “Peace is not just the absence of conflict,” the actress says. “Peace is the creation of an environment where all can flourish, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, class, caste or any other social markers of difference.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The arrival of the Olympic flame at the San Siro Stadium is accompanied by the notes of another synonymous with Italianness, “Nessun dorma,” from Puccini’s opera “Turandot,” performed by the world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli. The flame reaches the stage just as he reaches the highest note of the piece.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Immediately afterward, it’s the turn of rapper Ghali, perhaps the most controversial guest at the Opening Ceremony of Milano Cortina 2026 due to his pro-Palestine stance. He claims he was prevented from singing the national anthem and from speaking in Arabic. And the television broadcast never mentions him by name or features him in close-up.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yet, in its simplicity, his performance is one of the most touching.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Accompanied by a white-clad dance troupe, Ghali recites in three languages (Italian, French and English) the poem “Promemoria” by Italian children’s writer Gianni Rodari, with its simple yet powerful message against conflicts: “There are things you should never do/ Neither by day nor by night/ Neither by sea nor by land/ For example, war.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After the athletes’ official oaths, the Olympic Braziers get lit simultaneously in Milan and Cortina. The 2026 Winter Olympics officially begin.</p>

	I’m going to wager that no other Super Bowl Halftime Show artist in history has garnered as much chatter, opinion, controversy or opinion pieces as <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny/">Bad Bunny</a>, who will perform on Sunday (Feb. 8) at the final between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots in Santa Clara, California.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Every media outlet in the country seems to have a point of view: Is his performance a political statement? A cultural statement? An act of defiance? An act of disrespect toward this most venerable American sports tradition? A Latino power move? A Puerto Rican power move? In the past few weeks, I’ve received dozens of emails offering the opinion of industry leaders, hospitality executives, CEOs, entertainment figures, data companies and, in a twist, countless Latino and Puerto Rican university professors and PhDs touted as sage talking heads.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The opinions on Bad Bunny tend to fly fast and furious or high and lofty. In my entire time covering Latin music, I’ve never encountered such a plethora of “experts”  on any artist, much less one that most have almost certainly never met, much less interviewed (shout out, however, to professors Vanessa Díaz and Petra R. Rivera-Rideau, who authored the excellent <em>P FKN R: How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance </em>(Duke University Press).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’ve also never encountered such a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-why-people-angry-1236084209/">highly-politicized halftime performance</a>, despite the artists’ attempts to not make it political.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	 “I’m just a normal guy that makes music,” Bunny <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bad-bunny-reflects-super-bowl-lx-2026-1236175565/">said in an interview</a> Friday with <em>Access Hollywood</em>’s Scott Evans. “I want people to feel happiness and joy. I want to make people dance. I want to make them feel proud and think that everything is possible.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As transparent as that statement is, pundits are stuck on the fact that last summer, in an interview with <em>i-D Magazine</em>, Bunny said he <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-tour-not-us-ice-raids-1236063981/">wasn’t touring the U.S.</a> for now because he had done so in the past, but that the possibility of ICE agents targeting his fans was a factor.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate — I’ve performed there many times. All of [the shows] have been successful. All of them have been magnificent.” He added, “But there was the issue of — like, f—king Ice could be outside [my concert].”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Is that really a political statement? Last week’s <a rel="nofollow" href="https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/the-actions-of-ice-february-2026/" target="_blank">NPR/PBS News/Marist poll </a>found that 65% of Americans — that’s two-thirds of the country — say Immigration and Customs Enforcement has “gone too far,” an 11 point increase since last summer, when Bunny first mentioned the agency. In other words, the Puerto Rican star voiced what the majority of the country feels.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When Bunny picked up his Grammy award for album of the year this past Sunday (<a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/bad-bunny-kendrick-lamar-grammys-records/">making history</a> with the first all Spanish album to win the category), he gave a beautiful acceptance speech focused on pride and Puerto Rico, and punctuated at the very end with an “ICE out.” Again, is that really a political statement, in the wake of the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota at the hands of ICE?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	No. It’s common sense and decency.  </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Beyond that, however, I’ve said it <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-why-people-angry-1236084209/">before</a> and I’ll say it again: Bad Bunny’s upcoming performance has many up in arms because he will sing only in Spanish, the language he’s always performed in and the language that’s made him the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/bad-bunny-2025-spotify-wrapped-1236127099/">most-streamed music artist</a> in the world on Spotify. And yet, in this country, many still see Spanish — which is also my native tongue — as the language of poor immigrants, of foreigners, of less-than.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bad Bunny’s popularity does not stem from politics. It comes from making catchy, hooky, well-crafted songs that stem from a place of honesty and consistency in message that appeal to the masses, regardless of language and regardless of origin. In fact, when he recorded <em>Debí Tirar Más Fotos</em>, the album that propelled him to the Super Bowl and to his historic Grammy win, he wasn’t aiming for international recognition.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I said, ‘I’m going to make an album from Puerto Rico, for Puerto Ricans,” he <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-debi-tirar-mas-fotos-for-puerto-ricans-1236173315/">told me during an interview</a> in August. “I didn’t think it would transcend so much. I genuinely didn’t care if this album was heard in this country or that country. I was happy to have it be successful in Puerto Rico.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But with its irresistible beats, punctuated by traditional Puerto Rican rhythms and instrumentation, <em>Debí Tirar</em> struck a chord, becoming a global invitation to dance and celebrate. What else could be more in keeping with the spirit of the Super Bowl?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Sunday, when Bad Bunny takes the stage, let’s stop for 30 minutes with the sermons and the politics and the lofty opinions. Let’s just shut up and dance.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/lana-del-rey/">Lana Del Rey</a> is giving fans an update on music from her long-delayed country album.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On Saturday (Feb. 7), the 40-year-old singer-songwriter took to social media to tease the title and release date of her “favorite” track from the upcoming project, <em>Stove</em>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I just wanted to make a little message and let you know that my new single, my favorite song [from the new album] — this is the one I’ve been waiting for,” Del Rey said in a video shared to her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/honeymoon/3827387606020057229/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram Story</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“’White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’ is coming out on the 17th,” she added, without specifying the month, though it’s presumably February.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The songstress noted that she worked on the track with producers Drew Erickson and Jack Antonoff, who “finally found that magical chord that I was missing.” The song was co-written with her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, her brother-in-law, and her sister Caroline “Chuck” Grant, with mixing handled by Dean Reid and Laura Sisk.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“There’s so many bits and phrases thrown in by other people,” Del Rey said in the black-and-white clip.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She also revealed that a music video for “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” has already been made.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“We made the video, like just ourselves,” she said. “But still, it takes hours and hours of editing and downloading, uploading — all that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As for her upcoming 10th album, Del Rey suggested it could arrive in the next few months.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I know, you’re asking about the record,” she said. “But honestly, soon. ‘Cause vinyl takes three months, so three months plus two weeks. It could be give or take a bit less than that.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Del Rey <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/lana-del-rey-announces-album-lasso-1235594901/">first teased her country album</a> in January 2024 at the Billboard x NMPA Songwriter Awards, announcing that it would be titled Lasso and set for a September 2024 release. “We’re going country!” she declared. “It’s happening.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She released the album’s first single, “Henry, Come On,” in April 2025, at which point the set’s title had changed to <em>The Right Person Will Stay</em>. Originally scheduled for release in May, Del Rey postponed the set and later renamed the album <em>Stove</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“They were more autobiographical than I thought, and that took more time,” she <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/lana-del-rey-country-album-new-name-stove-1236052658/">told W</a> in August 2025, when the album was pushed to this year.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The majority of the album will have a country flair. Eight years ago, when I was looking to make a country record, no one else was thinking about country. Now everyone is going country! I’ve asked myself, Should I retire all my snakeskin boots? Should I put my cowboy hats in storage?”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“As a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer of 3 Doors Down, Brad helped redefine mainstream rock, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners,” the band wrote in a statement.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	3 Doors Down announced in May 2025 that Arnold had been <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/3-doors-down-singer-brad-arnold-cancer-diagnosis-stage-4-1235965598/">diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer</a> and that the band would cancel its summer tour. In a video posted to social media at the time, Arnold shared the news himself, noting that he was battling clear cell renal cell carcinoma, which had spread to his lungs.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I have no fear. I really, sincerely am not scared of it at all,” the singer said, emphasizing that he had been leaning on his faith during the medical battle. He also asked fans for their prayers. “I’d love for you to lift me up in prayer any chance you get. And I think it’s time for me to go and listen to ‘It’s Not My Time’ a little bit.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Born in Mississippi, Arnold formed 3 Doors Down in 1996 with his high school friends — guitarist Matt Roberts and bassist Todd Harrell — in their hometown of Escatawpa. At the time, Arnold served as both the band’s singer and drummer. The following year, the trio recorded a demo tape featuring “Kryptonite,” a song Arnold had written while still in high school. The track gained popularity on local radio stations and eventually attracted the attention of major record labels.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	During its early-2000s heyday, 3 Doors Down scored 10 Billboard Hot 100 chart hits, including three top 10s: 2000’s “Kryptonite” (No. 3), 2003’s “When I’m Gone” (No. 4), and 2003’s “Here Without You” (No. 5). The band also had two No. 1 albums on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart: <em>Seventeen Days</em> (2005) and the self-titled <em>3 Doors Down</em> (2008).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Arnold earned three Grammy nominations for his work with 3 Doors Down: best rock song for “Kryptonite” and “When I’m Gone,” and best rock performance by a duo or group with vocal for “When I’m Gone.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	3 Doors Down went on to release <em>Time of My Life</em> in 2011, which marked the last album featuring Arnold alongside original members Roberts and Harrell. Guitarist Roberts <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/3-doors-down-guitarist-leaves-band-486673/">left the band</a> due to health issues in 2012, and bassist <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/3-doors-down-bassist-enters-rehab-following-fatal-crash-arrest-1559592/">Harrell was dismissed</a> following a 2013 vehicular manslaughter charge. The band’s final studio album, <em>Us and the Night</em>, was released in 2016, though 3 Doors Down continued to tour regularly.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In its Instagram post, 3 Doors Down wrote that Arnold was a “devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. Those closet to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The rock community flooded 3 Doors Down’s comments section, sharing their condolences. Alter Bridge wrote, “Thank you Brad, your friendship was one we will hold close forever. Until we meet again,” Sevendust added, “Rest now brother. Thank you for all you have given us.” And Creed commented, “Sending love the Arnold family and 3DD family.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Arnold is now the second original member of 3 Doors Down to pass away. Roberts, who co-wrote “Kryptonite,” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/matt-roberts-dead-3-doors-down-guitarist-7480170/">died in 2016</a> from a drug overdose.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/green-day/">Green Day</a>’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/billie-joe-armstrong/">Billie Joe Armstrong</a> delivered a pointed political message during the band’s pre‑Super Bowl concert in San Francisco.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	During the punk-rock trio’s performance on Friday (Feb. 6) at The FanDuel Party Powered by Spotify 2026 at Pier 29, Armstrong urged ICE agents to consider a different career path ahead of Sunday’s (Feb. 8) big game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.</p>

	“Quit your s—ty ass job. Quit that shitty job you have,” the frontman <a href="https://x.com/greenday_ita/status/2020094968313041252" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">told the crowd</a>. “Because when this is over, and it will be over at some point of time, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump — they’re gonna drop you like a bad f—king habit. Come on to this side of the line.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Armstrong’s remarks appeared to be aimed at ICE agents who might be in the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX, where Bad Bunny will perform during halftime at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to his comments, Armstrong altered the lyrics of “American Idiot” to sing, “I’m not part of a MAGA agenda,” and referenced Jeffrey Epstein by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/GreenDayItaly_/status/2020089531379445770" target="_blank">changing the words of “Holiday”</a> from “the representative from California has the floor” to “the representative from Epstein Island has the floor.” The lyric comes amid the release of new Department of Justice documents related to Epstein.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Green Day is also <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/green-day-super-bowl-performance-2026-opening-ceremony-1236157307/">set to launch Super Bowl LX</a> with a pre-game opening ceremony performance of “their most iconic rock anthems,” the NFL said in mid-January. The ceremony will celebrate MVPs and 60 years of Super Bowl history.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This isn’t the first time the East Bay band has spoken out against President Donald Trump and his administration. Green Day has put the Trump administration on blast for nearly a decade, dating back to the American Music Awards in 2016, when they <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/green-day-trump-kkk-bang-bang-amas-2016-7581477/">led a chant</a> of “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist U.S.A.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Most recently, Armstrong <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/green-day-armstrong-support-brothers-sisters-minnesota-ice-1236157647/">expressed his disdain</a> at the group’s Jan. 17 concert in Los Angeles, altering lyrics in “American Idiot” to denounce “the MAGA agenda.” During “Holiday,” the singer voiced support “to our brothers and sisters in Minnesota” amid Trump’s aggressive immigration policies and ICE raids in Minneapolis. He told the crowd at the Kia Forum, “This song is anti-fascist. This song is anti-war.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Green Day and Bad Bunny’s booking for this year’s Super Bowl recently drew <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/donald-trump-super-bowl-2026-anti-bad-bunny-green-day-1236162205/">criticism from Trump</a>. “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” the president said, according to the <em>New York Post</em>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Super Bowl LX will stream live on NBC, Telemundo and Peacock on Sunday (Feb. 8), and it’s shaping up to be one of the most-watched events of the year. While the main event is, of course, the football game itself, the Super Bowl halftime show has become a highlight of the night for many viewers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This year’s performer, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny/">Bad Bunny</a>, has been tapped by title sponsor Apple Music to take the stage, and it marks a historic moment for the halftime show. Bad Bunny is the first male Latino artist to headline the Super Bowl, and he will perform the majority of the show in Spanish — something that’s become the subject of controversy among some conservative viewers.</p>

	Executive <strong>Bozoma Saint John</strong> knows what it’s like to be inside the process of halftime show planning and all the intricacies that go with it. While she served as head of music and entertainment marketing at the then-halftime title sponsor Pepsi, she played a pivotal role in booking <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/beyonce/">Beyoncé</a>‘s landmark 2013 performance in New Orleans, where the star performed both the national anthem and the halftime show. “I think people take very much for granted that there hadn’t been a black woman performing on that stage since <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Janet-Jackson">Janet Jackson</a>, and that had been ten years,” she explains.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The halftime show has evolved a lot since then. When Beyoncé took the stage in 2013, the coveted slot was largely given to older superstars like <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bruce-springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/paul-mccartney">Paul McCartney</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/madonna">Madonna</a>. However, the 2010s marked a time of change for the halftime show, making it a more pop-forward and current selection of acts. The following year, Saint John’s team picked <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bruno-mars/">Bruno Mars</a>, which she counts as another highlight of her Pepsi tenure.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the show’s current iteration, it has evolved once again, thanks to the involvement of Roc Nation, starting in 2019, and Apple Music as the title sponsor. Now, it’s much more common to see acts from hip-hop, R&B and Latin on the big stage. With <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/Usher">Usher</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/dr-dre">Dr. Dre</a>,<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/mary-j-blige"> Mary J. Blige</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/kendrick-lamar/">Kendrick Lamar</a> and Bad Bunny selected in recent years, the halftime show now serves as a way to reach out to new, global audiences, helping expand the game’s reach beyond traditional football fans.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the latest episode of <em>Billboard’s </em>On the Record podcast, Saint John explains what it means to be a title sponsor for the halftime show, how music plays a role as “cultural ambassador” at the big game and why Beyoncé’s turn on the stage will go down in Super Bowl history.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Let’s talk about how you booked Beyoncé back in 2013 while you were at Pepsi. How does one book a star of that caliber?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	When [Pepsi] was doing the deal with the NFL, one of the things that impressed me was that the NFL was open to our suggestion on who the halftime performer should be. I think what people don’t realize is that this is a 360 deal. It’s not just that they are the artist who is performing on the Super Bowl halftime show, they’re also in your commercials. They’re promoting whatever product it is you have. They’re doing the off-the-field entertainment. They’re doing meet-and-greets. It’s a huge, huge commitment…on top of the fact that [Pepsi was] also going to put the artist’s face on a billion cans that year.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There’s a lot to coordinate there. Obviously, I can’t take all the credit because there were hundreds of people working on this campaign, but I think my understanding of pop culture and the relationship I already built with Beyoncé and her mom and her team [from years ago when she booked Beyoncé for a commercial] was helpful.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>You mentioned the laundry list of things that a halftime performer has to do as part of the contract. I want to know more about that. What are some of the negotiations the performer goes through that viewers might not expect?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I think every negotiation is a little bit of a push and pull, right? It’s like, what do you want? What do I want? So, a lot of times, what artists will also do is make sure that a project they are trying to push is coming out around the same time, because this is such a [marketing] engine. </p>

					Bad Bunny Wasn’t Looking to Headline Super Bowl Halftime Show, But Teases ‘It’s Going to Be a Huge Party’

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The thing is, the halftime show performance is about 13 minutes long. And while you’re on stage, yes, of course, people are watching, etc., but you gotta depend on that marketing engine of the brand to push whatever else it is that you want. And so the negotiation ahead of time is both about what the brand is looking for, because they gotta get their money’s worth out of, you know, having you as a spokesperson. And then on top of it, the artist needs to also have what they need coming out of the event.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Something that a lot of viewers also don’t know is that you don’t get a typical payment to perform at the Super Bowl. Usually, the pay is just minimum union scale. What they do pay for, though, is a lot of the production costs, somewhere between $10 and $20 million. In recent years, however, acts like <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-weeknd/">The Weeknd</a> have reportedly pitched in money from their own pocket on top of that. Why do you think that is? Have production costs gone up, or are artists just trying to one-up each other?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	You have to consider that this is probably one of the largest broadcast stages that exists, even globally, because now we also have the opportunity of social media, so the performance is going to be cut and shared everywhere. And so what you’re thinking is that you have the largest broadcast stage, the opportunity to reach millions and millions and millions of people around the world. You want it to be your best effort. So this is really, like, it’s a Super Bowl for the teams, but it is the Super Bowl for you, too.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Do you feel that the bump in sales and streams that an artist receives after the game makes up for the lack of monetary compensation?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	From a marketing standpoint, what you think about this is a long tail. So, yes, you are going to have the immediate boost of record streaming, or somebody purchases a thing that you’re trying to sell, but it is the long tail influence of your performance and your presence on that stage that actually pays out the dividends. Think about all of the deals you can do afterwards, and the way that people will think of you will increase your prominence. That’s really what the benefit is of doing the performance and making sure it is literally the best performance of your life.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>What does it take to become the halftime show title sponsor, like Apple Music or Pepsi?</strong></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	First of all, these are long-term deals. It’s not like you get the sponsorship and you’re in it for one year. When we did it at Pepsi, it was a 10-year deal with options to renew. And, you know, sometimes after 10 years, a lot of leadership has changed, maybe the product has changed, and therefore people don’t see the value in continuing the relationship, which is what happened in the case of Pepsi. I was no longer there. I would have fought like hell to keep it! But, you know, people make different decisions.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I was ecstatic when Apple Music became the halftime show sponsor. It feels like a great fit. You couldn’t ask for a better fit for a music streaming service. The funny thing is, though I wasn’t at Apple Music when they won the bid, I was the global head of marketing at Netflix, and it is little known, but I wanted it when I was at Netflix. That didn’t happen. I mean, it really just made better sense for Apple Music. They are a music streaming service that can promote the music in the way it needs to be promoted!</p>

	In a Thursday (Feb. 5) post on X, Kid Rock shared a quote labeled “Mamba Mentality” and attributed to the basketball legend about taking criticism in stride. “Learn to love the hate,” it reads. Embrace it. Enjoy it. You earned it.” </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone should have one about you,” it continues. “Haters are a good problem to have. Nobody hates the good ones. They hate the great ones.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The hip-hop and country artist was announced as part of Turning Point’s “All-American Halftime Show” lineup on Feb. 2, along with Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert and Gabby Barrett. The ultra conservative organization previously <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/turning-point-usa-bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-1236085982/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared plans in October</a> to host the event at the same time as Bad Bunny’s actual Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday (Feb. 8) in protest of a Spanish-speaking artist headlining the coveted gig.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	At the time, Turning Point promised that the alternative show would feature “anything in English” by way of musical acts and celebrate “faith, family and freedom.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As evidenced by the Charlie Kirk-founded institution’s counter-programming, the September announcement that Benito would perform at the Super Bowl was controversial. At the time, many outraged <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-why-people-angry-1236084209/">conservatives labeled him</a> as being “anti-ICE,” even though the Puerto Rican rapper hadn’t yet shared a stance on the immigration enforcement agency beyond saying he passed up U.S. tour dates out of concern that “ICE could be outside” his shows to target his Latino audience.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After five years and $41 million, Bay Area-based independent promoter Another Planet Entertainment (APE) is ready to reopen San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre this Friday (Feb. 6). The more than 100 year-old building is set to become a marquee concert venue for the promoter, which already operates some of Northern California’s most beloved independent venues, including The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and The Independent, both in San Francisco, along with Oakland’s Fox Theater.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The restored venue will reopen with a community benefit screening of beloved cult classic <em>The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert o</em>n 35 millimeter film. The upcoming lineup is filled with LGBTQIA representation, including drag shows, queer films and music artists in the queer community, including a 20-night residency from pop star <a data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sam-smith/" data-type="link" href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sam-smith/">Sam Smith</a> that runs from Feb. 10 to March 14.</p>

	APE CEO <strong>Greg Perloff</strong> and the company’s president of concerts and festivals, <strong>Allen Scott</strong>, had been working on the programming for years, says <strong>Mary Conde</strong>, APE’s senior vp of production and general manager of The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. She adds, “There was always [the idea that] this opening has got to be spectacular. We have to land on the world stage in a very significant way.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	APE worked with Smith for many years, including their several appearances at the promoter’s marquee festival, Outside Lands. Now, they’ve landed at APE’s Castro Theatre, making it one of just two stops selected for their To Be Free residencies after New York, where he played Brooklyn’s Warsaw Club.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Sam was so lovely and so interested in the space,” says Conde. “They really wanted to know more about the history and the architecture and the legacy of the building that just made all of this even more incredible than the fact that you’ve got 20 shows with one of the most significant artists of our time.”</p>

	APE was in the market for a 1,400-capacity venue to complement its Bay Area roster, and the Nassar family, which has owned and operated the single-screen movie house for more than 100 years, was ready for a change in the midst of an increasingly difficult film exhibition business. The Nassar family will now serve as landlords of The Castro Theatre, as APE has agreed to restore the aging building to its former glory.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Restoring a Timothy Pflueger building to its original shine hasn’t been easy or cheap for the promoter. The restoration has included the revitalization of the ceiling’s stunning original artwork, along with the sgraffito murals and a long hidden historic proscenium, all masterfully restored by Evergreene Architectural Arts. Detailed artwork throughout the building was buried under two inches of sticky nicotine residue that needed to be dissolved, while ornate plaster fixtures built into the walls were touched up and redecorated with gold leaf.</p>

	Lighting fixtures were rescued by lighting manufacturer Phoenix Day, including a chandelier originally installed in 1937 after the original one was destroyed by a fire. “When we took it down, we found the company that built it in 1937, and the great nephew of the person who built it in 1937 is the one who did the restoration on it,” says Conde. “I love that family connection back to the craftsmen who made this place come alive.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	<strong>In addition to extensive restoration, APE also brought much of the venue up to date.

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“This was a building that really needed an intervention. It had gone through 100 years of not a ton of maintenance work,” Conde tells <em>Billboard</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Despite the steep cost of renovations, The Castro was the best choice for APE, explains Conde. When venues were shuttered in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, APE’s Perloff continued to pay the staff and told them to take the time to follow through on projects they were normally too busy for. For Conde, that meant securing a 1,400-seat venue in San Francisco.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After looking at real estate all over town, Conde heard the Nassar family was looking to change its business model at The Castro. Given its location in a well-known nightlife area and deep history, that meant not having to establish a reputation from the ground up.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“When we started working with [the Nassar family], our architect and our team of preservationists, it became apparent to us it was a feasible model,” says Conde. Not only does it have the mid-level capacity APE was looking for, but it will now feature “trundle-style” tiered seating that can be tucked away and pulled out for various seating configurations. “We’re really hoping that the infusion of people and that direct and indirect economic boost will help bring more retail, more nightlife, more restaurants,” he continues. “We really want a thriving neighborhood, and I think that that will come up around our theater.”</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bad-bunny/">Bad Bunny</a> won three Grammys on Sunday (Feb. 1), just one week before he headlines the Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This brings to 22 the number of Super Bowl halftime performers who have won Grammys that same year. The fairly high degree of overlap isn’t surprising, really. When you’re hot, you’re hot, as Jerry Reed put it in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rdF7o08KXw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">a 1971 hit</a>. The producers of the halftime show are looking to book the hottest show they can. And being hot never hurt your chances of winning a Grammy (though the Recording Academy asks its voting members to focus strictly on artistic merit).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Bad Bunny’s three Grammys included album of the year for best música urbana album for <em>Debí Tirar Más Fotos</em>. Several previous halftime performers also won in Big Four categories on Music’s Biggest Night in years they played what has become the world’s biggest stage. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/tony-bennett/">Tony Bennett</a> was on the halftime show in 1995, one month before he won album of the year for <em>MTV Unplugged</em>. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/christina-aguilera/">Christina Aguilera</a> was on the halftime show in 2000, three weeks before she won a Grammy as best new artist.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/u2/">U2</a> headlined the halftime show in 2002, a few weeks before they won record of the year for “Walk On.” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/bruno-mars/">Bruno Mars</a> and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/mark-ronson/">Mark Ronson</a> were featured during <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/coldplay/">Coldplay</a>’s halftime show in 2016, just a week before they won record of the year for “Uptown Funk!” And <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/anderson-.paak/">Anderson .Paak</a> was featured during the all-star hip-hop Super Bowl halftime show in 2022, about two months before he and Mars won record of the year at the pandemic-delayed Grammys for their <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/silk-sonic/">Silk Sonic</a> collab, “Leave the Door Open.”</p>

	I’ve had a long history with the <em>Resident Evil</em> franchise that began back in 2019 with the launch of the two remakes.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	While I am not as seasoned as some RE vets, my love for the franchise runs deep.

Dark and rainy streets of Racoon City greeted me as I piloted a well-meaning and naive Leon S. Kennedy to the Raccoon City Police Department in search of answers.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Why had the city become virtually overrun with zombies? Who was Claire Redfield and why was she looking for her brother, Chris? Would I even survive the night? My heart pounded and my hands sweat as I carefully combed through the RPD, now reupped in crisp graphic stylings, battling off hoards of fleshy, meandering undead and drooling Lickers, not to mention Mr. X. What I found along my journey was a story that ran deep, entangled in a twisted web that led me back to, as it always does, the Umbrella Corporation.</p>

	The two remakes sparked my love for the franchise, and other <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-gaming-headsets-where-to-buy-online-1235630517/">survival horror titles</a> like it, and I always longed to return back to the streets of Racoon City, no matter how disturbed my experience was. The fabricated city and the rookie cop held a special place in my heart that I couldn’t rid myself of, even when playing the other titles in the RE universe. Fast forward to 2026 and my prayers for a return to Racoon were answered with <em>Resident Evil Requiem</em>, the latest title in the haunting series.</p>

The stunning graphical quality of the new game is thanks to NVIDIA DLSS tech. This upscaling is made to achieve <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/sony-playstation-portal-where-to-buy-online-1235469609/">4K resolution</a> in docked mode, rather than rendering at native 4K. This is a vast improvement, considering that 3rd-party titles like RE2 ran with help from a stable internet connection, which, in my case, would go in and out, lowering the quality and performance.</p>

	In <em>Requiem</em>, otherwise known as <em>Resident Evil 9</em>, you’ll be able to play two tracks, a common mechanic in the RE franchise. You’ll pick from two characters, Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft for any Resident Evil Outbreak fans, and Leon S. Kennedy, the fan-favorite rookie cop turned DSO agent who shed his naivety years after his stint in Raccoon City.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I got the amazing opportunity to play the demo ahead of the game’s release, specifically Grace Ashcroft’s story, and was blown away by how smooth the game ran, especially for how large the game is, with its high-fidelity visuals, semi open-world environments and complex assets. The game is extremely frightening, placing you in tense quarters with little to defend yourself, at least at first. I was tasked with piloting Grace through ornate but pitch-black halls, looking for the usual suspects, a fuse and a key.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	What followed was a heart-pounding, pants-soiling chase sequence as Grace is pursued relentlessly by a massive, roughly 10-foot-tall pale-haired blind stalker monster that takes me back to my days dodging Mr. X or the malformed fetus monster from RE8. You’re tasked with grabbing a screwdriver, set high on a shelf, while you duck and weave under furniture as this creature shambles behind, making her escape from any light source through holes in the ceiling (ew). The pace of Grace’s playthrough is slow and intense. She’s clumsy and stuttering, which makes sense for an investigative journalist unequipped to face off against creatures of that magnitude. Later on in Grace’s playthrough, she’ll be given a gun with limited ammo that packs a punch in a pinch.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kennedy’s story is less of a survival horror romp and more of an action-packed thrillride, as you’d expect from a highly-trained agent. The beloved character pulls off some major melee attacks, crushing skulls and even wielding a chainsaw at one point. The combat is punchy and stylish, similar to how Kennedy’s combat felt in the RE4 remake. While I haven’t gotten my hands on his playthrough yet, I am stoked to try it out for myself. It’ll be amazing returning to Racoon City with Kennedy and now Grace to enter the survival horror experience once more.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Former <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/maverick-city-music/">Maverick City Music</a> member <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/chandler-moore/">Chandler Moore</a> has been given the all-clear signal from a federal judge to release independent solo music amid a bitter legal feud with the Grammy-winning worship collective over royalties and contract obligations.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A Thursday (Feb. 5) court ruling rejects Maverick City’s request for an immediate injunction that would have scuttled Moore’s plan to release his first solo single, “God I’m Just Grateful,” on Friday (Feb. 6). Maverick City had argued that Moore is still locked into an exclusive recording deal with its in-house label, TRIBL Records.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	But Judge Sarah E. Geraghty said that it’s not yet clear whether Moore fulfilled his 10-song commitment to TRIBL, since he recorded 11 songs in 2024 but only eight were ultimately included on the album <em>Chandler Moore: Live in Los Angeles</em>. A litigant must show that they’re more likely than not to succeed on the merits in order to win an injunction — and the judge thinks there’s still too much uncertainty for Maverick City to meet that threshold.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I find that TRIBL has not shown at this early stage that the imminent release of ‘God I’m Just Grateful’ would breach the contract,” said Judge Geraghty during a Thursday hearing held via Zoom, adding, “I simply don’t think that the case is quite as simple as TRIBL would make it.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The judge noted that the decision is subject to change as the case moves along, and the final outcome might “certainly swing the other way going forward depending on what the evidence shows.” In the meantime, she urged the two sides to talk to each other and consider settling the matter amicably.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a statement to <em>Billboard </em>following the ruling, Moore’s lawyer <strong>Chad Elder </strong>said the singer “is grateful for the court’s ruling, which denied the defendants’ efforts to prevent him from doing what he loves, providing for his family, and inspiring others.”</p>

	“Chandler’s music is more than an artistic expression; it’s a message of hope and inspiration to millions of people who draw faith and strength from his lyrics,” added Elder.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Maverick City’s attorneys did not immediately return a request for comment on Thursday.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Moore left Maverick City in October and launched a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/maverick-city-music-chandler-moore-fraud-lawsuit-exit/">civil fraud lawsuit</a> accusing the group’s chief executive of stealing his composition royalties. Maverick City <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/chandler-moore-maverick-city-music-lawsuit-jonathan-jay/">vehemently denied</a> the claims and countersued Moore, alleging the singer failed to fulfill his contract before his <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/chandler-moore-naomi-raine-exit-maverick-city-music-group-1236083081/">abrupt departure</a>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The litigation has aired out some intense allegations on both sides. For his part, Moore claims Maverick City’s CEO <strong>Norman Gyamfi</strong> abused his position of power to siphon off millions of dollars in royalties, including by allegedly forging Moore’s signature on a publishing agreement.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Moore claimed in court papers that the loss of royalties has “severely limited my ability to provide a stable income for myself and my family.” The singer says he’s had to unenroll his two youngest children from school, take out loans and seek staff positions at churches to provide for his family of six.</p>

	Maverick City, meanwhile, claims Moore reneged on his songwriting and recording obligations after receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in advances. The group also alleges Moore violated his contract’s morality clause: “Maverick City was repeatedly informed Moore had affairs or engaged in extramarital sexual acts and Maverick City suffered reputational damages as a result,” the group claimed in a countersuit.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	This is not Maverick City’s only legal battle at the moment: Co-founder <strong>Tony Brown </strong>recently brought <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/maverick-city-music-rico-lawsuit-chandler-moore-claims/">racketeering claims</a> alleging he was strong-armed into signing an unfavorable buy-out deal. Maverick City denies that and has <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/maverick-city-music-countersues-co-founder-competing-choir/">countersued Brown </a>for launching a different worship choir called God Aura, an alleged violation of his non-compete obligations.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Taking several one-off factors into consideration, including the roll-off of BMG as a distribution client, WMG posted $1.84 billion in total revenue, up from $1.67 billion a year ago, for the quarter ended Dec. 31.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Overall digital revenue rose 10%, with streaming revenue up 10.7%. Recorded music digital revenue rose 10.9%, and music publishing streaming revenue rose 12.8% after factoring in settlements with digital streaming partners and BMG’s contract termination. Revenue from streaming subscriptions rose by 9% with those factors considered, reflecting WMG’s growing market share and the chart performance of its artists. In the fourth quarter, TD Bank analysts estimated that Alex Warren held a 3.9% share of the Billboard Hot 100 and a 2.8% share of the Billboard Global 200, while sombr had 1.9% of the Hot 100 and 2.3% of the Billboard Global 200.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Overall recorded music revenue rose 10% to $1.48 billion, as a 10.5% increase in digital revenue to $976 million more than offset a $14 million decline in revenue from physical music sales. Revenue from artist services and expanded rights rose to $231 million, driven by higher concert promotion revenue — mainly in France — and a $9 million benefit from foreign currency exchange rates. Overall operating income for the recorded music division was up nearly 40% to $329 million for the quarter, with an operating margin of 22.2% compared to 17.7% a year ago.</p>

	Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA), a measure of how much cash the core businesses make, rose 24.8% to $403 million, and adjusted OIBDA margin rose to 27.2% from 24.0%. Those increases were primarily driven by cost cuts and favorable foreign exchange rates. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	WMG is at the tail end of a years-long<a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/warner-music-group-layoffs-cutting-costs-300-million/"> cost-cutting campaign</a> that aims to reduce annual expenses by $300 million a year through a combination of layoffs and administration and real estate reductions. Kyncl has said the money saved is being reinvested in discovering and supporting new artists and acquiring companies that can enhance the company’s offerings.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Publishing music revenue rose 12% to $362 million for the quarter due to higher digital, synchronization, performance and mechanical revenue. Digital revenue rose by nearly 4% to $215 million, and sync revenue rose more than 50% to $60 million, thanks to higher TV and commercial licensing activity and a $6 million combined benefit from copyright infringement settlements and the acquisition of Tempo Music.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Overall, music publishing operating income rose 18% to $65 million, while adjusted OIBDA for the division rose about 23% to $102 million with a margin of 28.2%, up from 25.7% a year ago.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	WMG CFO <strong>Armin Zerza</strong> called Thursday’s quarterly results evidence of a rare “significant transformation in … a short time frame by delivering accelerated growth and profitability.”</p>

	“Opalite” will be the second visual unveiled from the project, following a video for lead single “The Fate of Ophelia,” which first arrived as part of <em>Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl</em> in movie theaters before hitting YouTube two days later. Fans will have to wait and see whether the “Opalite” video is the same as the version that was shown during the album’s theatrical release party or different.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>The Life of a Showgirl</em> debuted at No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a> following its Oct. 3 release and spent a total 12 weeks atop the chart. It moved a single-week record 4.002 million equivalent album units in the United States in its first week, according to Luminate, with “The Fate of Ophelia” debuting at No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a> that week, followed by “Opalite” at No. 2 — which is so far its peak on the chart.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Swift’s decision to premiere the video first on Spotify and Apple Music follows <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/youtube-announces-intention-withdraw-data-billboard-charts/">YouTube’s December announcement</a> that it was withdrawing its streaming data from all of <em>Billboard</em>‘s charts. YouTube’s withdrawal followed <em>Billboard</em>‘s Dec. 16 announcement of a change to chart methodology that will continue to weigh subscription streams more favorably than ad-supported streams, in a bid to better reflect changing consumer behaviors and the increased revenue derived from streaming in the industry. The change means that paid/subscription streams will be weighted against ad-supported streams at a 1:2.5 ratio, narrowed from the previous 1:3 ratio.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to the music video, Swift also announced an “Opalite” 7-inch vinyl single available to purchase for only 48 hours on her <a href="https://store.taylorswift.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">web store</a>, set to ship on or around Feb. 9.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/barry-manilow/">Barry Manilow</a> is fit and fine after surgery, but he’s pushing back his upcoming concert dates in Las Vegas to focus on the road ahead.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The pop veteran was initially booked for residency dates at Westgate Las Vegas, from Feb. 12-21, but has scrapped those plans on his “doctor’s guidance and recommendation,” he writes in a social post.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Grammy winner recently <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/barry-manilow-lung-cancer-surgery-more-show-dates-announced-1236153959/">went under the knife</a> after a scan revealed stage one lung cancer. The operation was deemed a success, but he needs more time out.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I’m doing great and recovering very well after my surgery,” he writes. “I’ve been getting exercise and spending some time in the studio, which has been fantastic.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	With some additional downtime, he continues, “I can stay focused on healing and getting ready for the tour that’s kicking off at the end of February. Having a few extra weeks to rest and prepare is what the doctor ordered!”</p>

	No replacement dates have been announced for the postponed Vegas shows, and tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase, reps say. Manilow will return to the Westgate on March 26, 27 and 28, part of a <a href="https://barrymanilow.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">national swing</a> that starts Feb. 27 at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, FL.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Despite his health setback, Manilow is in record-breaking form. He extends a chart milestone with his latest release, “Once Before I Go,” which <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/barry-manilow-once-before-i-go-adult-contemporary-chart-1236168414/">enters</a> <em>Billboard</em>’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/adult-contemporary/">Adult Contemporary</a> tally (dated Feb. 7) more than half a century — 51 years and three months, to be precise — since he first appeared on the list dated Nov. 7, 1974, with his breakout ballad “Mandy.”</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Next stop, <em>HADES.</em></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After sharing the new single “POSSESSION,” her<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/melanie-martinez-surprise-release-possession-1236166345/"> first new music in three years</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/melanie-martinez/">Melanie Martinez</a> is taking us on a trip to <em>HADES</em>, her fourth studio album that’s set to drop March 27.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Each song on this record explores a different trap set by the kind of evil, patriarchal energy that is <em>HADES</em>. It isn’t about predicting a dystopian future,” she explains in a statement announcing the new collection. “It’s about recognizing destructive patterns that already exist. The same dynamics repeating in different places. Control disguised as protection. Cruelty framed as logic. Exploitation sold as opportunity. Once you start noticing those threads, it becomes hard to ignore them.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>HADES</em> is an appropriately hot theme for this alt-pop phenom. Following its release last month, “POSSESSION” was by some distance the favorite new cut of the week, as chosen by readers of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/melanie-martinez-possession-favorite-new-music-poll-results-1236169478/">Billboard.com</a>. Also, the track debuted with more than 2.7 million Spotify streams in its first 24 hours and has surpassed 10 million to date, according to reps at Warner Music. It’s now Martinez’s fastest-streaming release and the biggest female debut of 2026.</p>

<div class="embed-youtube"></div>
</div></figure>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>HADES</em> is the followup to 2023’s <em>Portals</em>, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, her third consecutive top 10 appearance on the chart.<em> Portals</em> went all the way to No. 1 on Australia’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/melanie-martinez-aria-albums-chart-1235299432/">ARIA Chart</a>. Her debut album from 2015, <em>Cry Baby</em>, peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, and her sophomore album from 2019, <em>K–12</em>, hit No. 3 on the all-genres tally.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Martinez burst into the public consciousness in 2012 as a contestant on season 3 of <em>The Voice</em>. Although she didn’t claim the crown, she’s been winning ever since. Career streams top 30 billion, including upwards of 5.5 billion official YouTube views with more than 62 million followers across platforms.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Meanwhile, <em>Cry Baby</em> spawned the perfume of the same name, which was self-released the year after the album’s release. It was a sell-out. Later, she partnered with Flower Shop Perfume on a perfume line, the first of which arrived in 2023 — with similar success to its predecessor. </p>

				<div class="pmc-paywall">












<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	SYDNEY, Australia — <strong>Vanessa Picken</strong> has resurfaced at Ticketek Entertainment Group (TEG) in a newly-created role.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The former CEO of Sony Music ANZ leads a class of top recruits to the Sydney, Australia-based live entertainment, data and tech giant, which unveils an “important evolution” of its touring business, TEG Live, and maps out strategies in country, electronic and other hot genres.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Announced Thursday, Feb. 5, Picken is named global director, music strategy at TEG Live, where she will drive music strategy and global advocacy, working closely with promoters and partners worldwide.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	From June 2022, Picken served as chair and CEO of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/sony-music-reshuffle-in-asia-1200157/">Sony Music Australia and New Zealand</a>, becoming the first woman to lead the major music company’s operations across both countries.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Picken finished up with Sony Music <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/sony-music-australia-nz-vanessa-picken-departs/">in late 2025</a>, more than three years after taking the top job. In that time, Picken is credited with modernizing the music giant’s organizational structure, enhancing its digital and marketing capabilities, and fueling new growth through experiential and licensing ventures.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	She joins TEG with a stack of international experience, having owned and operated the digital agency and label services firm Comes With Fries, and served as managing director at independent music giant [PIAS].</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Also joining TEG Live is <strong>Sam Sharma</strong>, in the role as head of South Asia & Desi touring. Sharma will lead a new focus within the platform, a statement explains, and will be expected to drive expansion of touring across a region that’s seen as a hotspot for growth.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<strong>Alex Kelsey</strong> joins as head of country touring, overseeing the growth and commercial expansion of country music touring across Australia and New Zealand. Veteran former Sony Music executive <strong>Clay Doughty</strong> will support Kelsey as head of strategy, country music, lassoing long-term market development, international partnerships and artist pipelines within the genre.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As TEG Live builds its electronic music business across the region, <strong>Chris Watson</strong> is promoted to head of electronic, Asia Pacific. Watson launched the Palm Tree Festival Singapore in April, and further announcements in the electronic space are “expected shortly,” a statement reads.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	U.K.-based <strong>Toby Leighton-Pope</strong>, currently managing director of TEG Europe, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/toby-leighton-pope-managing-director-teg-europe/">formed in 2022</a>, will continue to be a key advisor to the group.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The new-look TEG Live, now a platform business, is led by TEG’s global head of touring <strong>Tim McGregor</strong>, who will oversee its strategic direction and portfolio performance.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“The move marks a significant step in TEG’s touring strategy,” reads a statement. “Creating a platform that empowers talented Promoters to operate with entrepreneurial autonomy, while being supported by Ticketek Group platforms and technology that make it easier to build, find and attend live experiences.” The model is designed to accelerate growth across established and emerging genres and “back the next generation of live entertainment leaders.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Country music is a big part of the TEG Live growth strategy. TEG will ramp up those ambitions by opening a Nashville office in the early part of this year, focusing on artist relationships, touring partnerships and long-term pipeline development, strengthening the connection between the U.S. and Australian markets and more.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Live music is evolving quickly, and touring models need to evolve with it,” comments McGregor. “TEG Live is investing in a platform that’s built for collaboration, adaptability and one that supports today’s promoters while setting up the next generation for success.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Further announcements are expected shortly, including major expansion plans across Asia-pop, and rock, metal.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.teg.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TEG</a> brings together ticketing giant Ticketek, plus TEG Live, TEG Sport, TEG Experiences, and Ovation. Last November, TEG announced the “strategic acquisition” of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/teg-buys-twenty3-live/">Twenty3 Live</a>, a leading marketing, media, sponsorship and activation agency, which the company said at the time would enhance its in-house marketing and digital capability in its global touring portfolio. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Earlier this week, TEG announced UFC 325 (Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2) has become the highest-grossing indoor arena event in Australian history. The bout, staged Sunday, Feb. 1 at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, owned by TEG and operated by Legends Global, set a new national box office record with A$14.4 million ($10 million) in ticket sales.</p>

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/hatchie/">Hatchie</a> is strapped into the <em>Carousel</em>.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the eve of another United States run, and the announcement of new shows closer to home, the Australian dream-pop practitioner drops “Carousel,” the latest single from her third studio album <a rel="nofollow" href="https://hatchie.lnk.to/liquorice" target="_blank"><em>Liquorice</em>.</a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Carousel” explores themes of fixation, longing and emotional suspension, all of it dripping in shoegaze and swirling guitars, building to an epic chorus. It’s almost thick enough to touch. Stream it below.</p>

	Hatchie is the project of Melbourne-based, Brisbane-raised singer-songwriter Harriette Pilbeam. And she has come out firing in the New Year.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/silversun-pickups-yo-gabba-gabbaland-season-2-soundtrack-1236151913/">previously reported</a>, Hatchie features on the new <a href="https://tv.apple.com/au/show/yo-gabba-gabbaland/umc.cmc.6a8qdw6e76cba2l0rkgzfbocl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Yo Gabba GabbaLand!</em></a> Season 2 soundtrack, alongside Santigold, CHVRCHES, Ziggy Marley and Sharon Van Etten, with her original cut “<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6xBvkNzvW3iSD11GWLRCLC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Movin’ My Body,”</a> now streaming as part of the series on Apple TV+.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I had never watched <em>YGG</em> but admired from afar,” she tells <em>Billboard.</em> “A Hatchie fan who worked on the show reached out to us about contributing to the soundtrack and we thought it would be a fun project. We were sent a few songs to choose from and instantly clicked with ‘Moving My Body.’”</p>

Led off by the singles “Lose It Again,” “Sage,” and “Only One Laughing, the LP was recorded by producer Melina Duterte’s (Jay Som) at her home studio in Los Angeles, alongside Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett) on drums, with Alex Farrar (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman) on mixing duties at Asheville’s Drop of Sun studios, and Greg Obis (Dutch Interior, Slow Pulp, Wishy) mastering in Chicago. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I can’t wait to finally play my new album to my Australian fans,” Hatchie enthuses. “It feels like forever since I’ve played a show in Sydney and it just feels right to do it with our old friends GAUCI.

	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/empire-of-the-sun/">Empire of the Sun</a> will shine on Record Store Day Australia 2026.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The electronic duo leads the first batch of Australian releases for the annual celebration of independent music retail, which this year lands on April 18.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Emperor Steele (Luke Steele) and Lord Littlemore (Nick Littlemore) will contribute the expanded edition of <em>Walking On A Dream </em>(via Universal), the act’s hit debut album from 2008. <em>Walking On A Dream</em> collected four ARIA Awards, crashed the top 10 in Australia, and housed the hit singles “We Are the People” and its title track, which crashed the Billboard Hot 100, at No. 65, after it was synced to a Honda Civic campaign some eight years later.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Released digitally in 2025, the vinyl version has two distinct halves, with five newly written songs alongside five reimagined versions of beloved tracks drawn from across the group’s 14-year career.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">

	RDS Australia launched in 2008 and, like the editions in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan and across Europe and elsewhere, drops the needle on the third Saturday of April. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Its goal, to elevate and promote the contemporary music community and support Australian independent labels, artists and the country’s network of 200-plus record stores “with a hope to reach a broader audience and grow the event each year.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The Australian music industry always chips in, with the likes of Ninajirachi, You Am I, Pond, Ocean Alley, Underground Lovers, Montaigne, Confidence Man and The Wiggles creating and sharing RDS exclusives.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On the big day, all 400-plus exclusive releases, including local and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/record-store-day-2026-releases-katseye-huntrx-springsteen-1236173374/">international titles</a>, will be available over the counter only at independent record shops.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	There is still plenty more to come in 2026, with more Australian release announcements shortly, reps say.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/billie-eilish/">Billie Eilish</a> spoke at the Grammy Awards. And a whole lot of wealthy old geezers listened, complained and, well, they ought to be ashamed.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That’s the gist of a message posted by <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/finneas/">Finneas</a> on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/finneas/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram Stories</a>, following his sister’s rousing speech Sunday, Feb. 1 at the Grammys.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech,” he writes. “We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A gold rush wasn’t expected, but that’s what panned out as Eilish came out on top in the Grammys song of the year category for “Wildflower,” from her 2024 album <em>Hit Me Hard and Soft</em>. With that win, the pop superstar added an 11th golden gramophone to her imposing tally, and used the platform of her speech to put the Trump administration on blast.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Eilish <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/billie-eilish-grammys-speech-2026-1236169933/">took the stage</a> with her writing partner, musical foil and brother Finneas, to accept the award from songwriting legend Carole King.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that … no one is illegal on stolen land,” she remarked. “And, yeah it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now,” continued Eilish, who, like many in the audience at the <a href="https://crypto.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crypto.com</a> Arena in Los Angeles, was <a href="https://www.billboard.com/photos/grammys-ice-out-pins-stars-protest-1236169687/">wearing an “ICE Out” pin</a> as part of a protest against Trump’s immigration enforcement surge, which in January resulted in the killing of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/bruce-springsteen-ice-protest-song-streets-of-minneapolis-1236165571/">two American citizens</a> by immigration enforcement agents.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter and the people matter,” Eilish continued. She sounded off with, “And f–k ICE is all I wanna say, sorry.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	As previously reported, Eilish has spent the past several weeks vocally criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration actions, calling ICE a “<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/billie-eilish-anti-ice-posts-fatal-minneapolis-shooting-1236152310/">terrorist group</a>” after its killing of 37-year-old poet and mother of three Renée Nicole Good, and blasting the organization’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/billie-eilish-blasts-ice-minnesota-mlk-jr-justice-award-1236157623/">Minnesota operation</a> while accepting the MLK Jr. Environmental Justice award in January.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Finneas, too, has been vocal about ICE and the hypocrisy of conservative commentators.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The producer, songwriter and artist stepped in, and promised to keep speaking up, when <em>USA Today </em>published an op-ed titled “PSA to celebs: Stick to performing, stay away from politics,” written by Ingrid Jacques.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In a <a href="https://www.threads.com/@finneas/post/DUU4pHtlSCd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Threads post</a>, Finneas writes: “You just can’t do both. You can’t say it doesn’t matter what musicians or celebrities say or think but then talk about it for days. You’re out here making it matter. I’ll keep speaking up especially if it keeps bothering you.”</p>

	Studio One will team up with Belgian electronic innovators <a href="https://billboard.com/artist/soulwax">Soulwax</a> for a one-off event titled <em>Abbey Road After Hours</em>, taking place on Feb. 21 from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. The north west London studio will welcome 300 attendees for what Abbey Road describes as “a world-first experience.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Admission will be free via a public ballot, which is now open. Fans can enter by calling the ‘Soulwax rave hotline’ at +447886 072699.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Soulwax – brothers David and Stephen Dewaele – were invited by Abbey Road to curate the night. Programming will include DJ sets from their long-running alter ego 2manydjs, along with special guests yet to be announced. The event will also mark the first major showcase of the DEEWEE Soundsystem, a custom-built speaker array inspired by the legendary Paradise Garage system in New York, which the Dewaele brothers acquired for their regular DEEWEE club nights.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Abbey Road After Hours will also feature brand-new Soulwax material created specifically for the event. The duo will spend the day prior recording in Abbey Road’s iconic Studio Two alongside a full live band. The sessions will be cut direct to record, with the resulting tracks played in Studio One during the rave.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“It’s hard to say whether we have a perverse or healthy attraction to crazy ideas – that’s for others to decide,” Soulwax said in a statement. “But being approached with a crazy idea by the most iconic recording studio in music history makes it impossible to refuse. We embrace the challenge and sincerely hope this won’t be the last rave at Abbey Road.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Abbey Road’s Director of Marketing & Creative, Mark Robertson, added: “I’ve talked about hosting a rave here for years, so it’s a genuine thrill to have Soulwax curate the first night. Studio One has been home to countless era-defining firsts – from Elgar to John Williams – and opening it to bold new forms of creativity feels both true to our heritage and excitingly audacious.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Abbey Road <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/abbey-road-studios-sally-davies-interview-studio-one/">reopened</a> Studio One in spring last year following an extensive restoration to the iconic recording studio space. The room closed in late 2024 for the first time in its history to allow for the work to take place. The room has also been used by a variety of contemporary musicians in recent years, including Harry Styles, U2, Noel Gallagher, Little Simz and Sam Smith.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You’ve seen it happen (or you’ve lived it): one video pops off. Your follower count jumps. Your comments are on fire. For 48 hours, it feels like the algorithm finally picked you.</p>
<p>Then… it fades.</p>
<p>Not because your music isn’t good, but because virality is rented attention. In 2026, rented attention doesn’t build your fanbase unless you convert attention into a relationship you <em>own</em>.</p>
<p>What you want isn’t just another spike. You want a clear method that turns a spike into an audience you can reach next week, next month, and on release day.</p>
<p>That method is simple:</p>
<p><strong>Pin a video → offer a lead magnet → collect email/SMS → deliver a drop schedule.</strong></p>
<p>Let’s break it down.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 1: Pin the </strong><strong><em>Right</em></strong><strong> Video (Not the Biggest One)</strong></h3>
<p>Most artists pin whatever got the most views.</p>
<p>Instead, pin the video that does the best job of turning a curious viewer into a fan.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What your pinned video needs to do</strong></h4>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Explain what they’re hearing</strong> (song title + what moment this is)<br></li>
<li><strong>Connect it to you</strong> (your face, your artist name, your vibe)<br></li>
<li><strong>Tell them what to do next</strong> (one simple action)<br></li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Your “Pin Stack” (3 pinned posts that work together)</strong></h4>
<p>If your platform supports multiple pinned posts, use this sequence:</p>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>The Context Pin:</strong> “Here’s the song / here’s what this is.”<br></li>
<li><strong>The Offer Pin:</strong> “Want the full version / unreleased hook / alt version? Get it here.”<br></li>
<li><strong>The Proof Pin:</strong> “New music schedule / what’s next / join the list for first access.”<br></li>
</ol>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A pinned video script you can use</strong></h4>
<p>“If you’re here from that clip—this is my song <em>[TITLE]</em>. If you want the full version + a bonus unreleased version, I put it on a free link in my bio.<br>And I’m dropping more music this month. Join the list so you don’t miss it.”</p>
<p>That’s it. No paragraph. No lore dump. Just clarity and direction.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 2: Create a Lead Magnet People Actually Want</strong></h3>
<p>A lead magnet is just a free thing that’s so relevant to the viral moment that people happily trade an email (or phone number) for it.</p>
<p>The rule: <strong>the free thing should “complete the story” the viral video started.</strong></p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lead magnet ideas that work well for musicians</strong></h4>
<p>Pick ONE and keep it tight:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Full unreleased version</strong> (or early access to the full track)<br></li>
<li><strong>Alternate version</strong> (acoustic, stripped, live, “demo”)<br></li>
<li><strong>Behind-the-scenes video</strong> (how you made it / wrote it)<br></li>
<li><strong>Lyrics + meaning mini-PDF</strong> (especially if the line hit people emotionally)<br></li>
<li><strong>Stems / loop pack</strong> (producer lane; also triggers remix behavior)<br></li>
<li><strong>“First listen” drop</strong> (email list gets it 24–48 hours early)<br></li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What to avoid</strong></h4>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Random freebies that don’t match the moment (wallpapers, generic “thanks for the support”)<br></li>
<li>Anything that takes too long to deliver<br></li>
<li>Anything that requires five steps before they get it<br></li>
</ul>
<p>Make it instant. Make it obvious. Make it connected to the clip they already loved.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 3: Fix Your Link-in-Bio (One Job Only)</strong></h3>
<p>When you’re in a viral moment, your bio link cannot be a buffet.</p>
<p>It needs one job: <strong>convert a curious viewer into an owned contact.</strong></p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Your landing page should include</strong></h4>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A headline that mirrors the viral video:<br>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“Get the full version of <em>[song]</em>”<br></li>
<li>“Download the unreleased hook”<br></li>
<li>“Hear the demo that started the trend”<br></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>1 field (email) max to start<br></li>
<li>A single button<br></li>
<li>Instant delivery right after signup<br></li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The best “two-step” upgrade (optional)</strong></h4>
<p>If you want SMS too (and SMS can be powerful), don’t ask for it first.</p>
<p>Do this:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Step 1: Email opt-in<br></li>
<li>Step 2: “Want text-first drops too?” (optional)<br></li>
</ul>
<p>This keeps conversions high while still giving you the chance to collect phone numbers from the most motivated fans.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 4: The First 72 Hours (Your Welcome Flow)</strong></h3>
<p>Here’s the part most artists miss: <strong>the moment is short.</strong></p>
<p>If someone gives you their email during a spike in social traffic and then you go silent for a week… you just wasted the fleeting moment where you had their attention.</p>
<p>You don’t need a huge automated marketing funnel, you just need 3 – 4 messages that arrive fast.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A simple 4-message welcome flow</strong></h4>
<p><strong>Email/SMS #1 (Immediate):</strong> Deliver the thing</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Link to the freebie<br></li>
<li>1 sentence about who you are<br></li>
<li>1 call to action: “Reply and tell me what you’re into” or “follow here”<br></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>#2 (Next Day): The story</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Why you wrote it / what the line means<br></li>
<li>Link to your best “start here” song or playlist (keep it to 1–2 links)<br></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>#3 (Day 3): The question</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Ask something easy to answer:<br>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“Do you like the acoustic vibe or the full production more?”<br></li>
<li>“What city are you in?”<br></li>
<li>“Want more songs like this or darker/faster/lighter?”<br></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Replies = relationship + deliverability boost<br></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>#4 (Day 5–7): The drop schedule invite</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“Here’s what I’m releasing next”<br></li>
<li>“The list hears it first”<br></li>
<li>“Here’s the date to watch for”<br></li>
</ul>
<p>You are training people to expect your music, not just stumble into it.</p>
<p>Social media platforms are amazing for reaching new potential fans. However, your goal should be to turn any new attention from those platforms into a real fan relationship that you own.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	On social media Wednesday (Feb. 4), Styles shared a poster promoting the event, which will take place on March 8 at the city’s Co-op Live arena. “Ticket requests begin Friday,” his caption reads. “More details to follow.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The poster features the One Direction alum doing an impressive back bend on a dancefloor beneath a disco ball. “Celebrate the release of <em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally</em> with a special performance of the album,” it reads, noting that tickets will be priced at £20.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The single-night show stands separate from Styles’ recently announced <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/harry-styles-wembley-shows-break-taylor-swift-coldplay-record-1236165323/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Together, Together Tour</a>, which will kick off in Amsterdam in May. Rather than a traditional, sprawling global trek, the singer has instead opted for a series of mini-residencies in a select few cities around the world, including a 30-night stint at Madison Square Garden in New York City and 12 shows at Wembley Stadium in London.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally</em> will mark Styles’ fourth solo album. It is preceded by his 2017 self-titled debut, 2019’s <em>Fine Line</em> and 2022’s <em>Harry’s House</em>, all three of which debuted at No. 1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a>. The latter also won album of the year at the Grammys and spawned 15-week <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard Hot 100</a>-topping hit “As It Was.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Styles recently added another No. 1 entry on the chart to his tally, with the single “Aperture” — the only taste fans have gotten so far of <em>Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally</em> — debuting in the top spot of the Hot 100 on the week dated Feb. 7.</p>

Not only is the pop star still riding high on the success of her Grammy-winning, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/">Billboard 200</a>-topping album <em>Brat</em>, but she’s got Super Bowl commercial coming up the same weekend her mockumentary, <em>The Moment</em>, hits theaters.

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In the quick clip, Charli’s leading what looks to be a college course on some pretty darn advanced mathematics while a female student stands before her. “Vibes,” Charli tells the student with a smile on her face. It turns out to be none other than her <em>The Moment</em> costar Rachel Sennott. “Vibes,” the actress confirms to Charli, who responds with an even more enthusiastic, “Vibes!” </p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	After Sennott responds excitedly with — you guessed it — “Vibes!” while lifting her hands — one of which is holding a can of poppi — to the ceiling, the dance-pop artist responds matter-of-factly as the classroom watches, “Vibes.” After a flustered moment of confusion, the actress smiles, and both women confirm, “Vibes.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	The teaser, which ends with a heavy dance beat and Brat-coded neon colors flashing “poppi” and “Feb. 8,” was directed by the man who helmed The Moment, Aidan Zamiri.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Charli xcx, Rachel Sennott, and Aiden Zamiri are all people who create culture — they don’t chase it,” Kristina MacIntosh, svp of marketing, said in a statement. “Partnering with them for the Super Bowl felt like the most natural extension of who we are as a brand: confident, a little unexpected and tapped into what’s actually happening right now. That’s where the magic is for us.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In addition to the mockumentary, which hits theaters on Friday (Feb. 6), Charli and her costar appeared in a prank video for <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNm06OUkM3A" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Elle</a></em> magazine, though the actress was not aware it was a joke at the time. In the video, the musician calls up Sennott and pitches a new project she’s excited about — a romcom about a woman who falls in love with a cow — and she wants her actress costar to play the bovine. During the pitch, Charli explains the project and even asks her pal to moo, all the while putting herself on mute to crack up while a confused and hesitant Sennott tries to hear her out. While Sennott did not end up mooing, she did admit after learning it was a prank call, “By the way, there was 30 seconds where I was down [to do this].”</p>

	Soundtrack estimates that the market for providing licensed music to businesses is worth as much as $40 billion. By acquiring Tunify (popular in Belgium and the Netherlands) and Ambie (popular in the U.K.), it aims to consolidate a fragmented market “and integrat[e] regional legacy incumbent operators,” according to a press release.</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	“Music is a universal language, but business is local,” Sars, co-founder of Beats Music, said in the release. “We aren’t just acquiring customer bases; we are investing in the specific cultural and musical nuances of several markets.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Previously called Soundtrack Your Brand, the company <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/the-hollies-sell-recording-catalog-bmg-music-business-deals/">raised $15 million</a> in 2023 from investors led by Matt Pincus’ MUSIC alongside Dundee Partners, adding to other Soundtrack investors including Balderton Capital, Fuel Venture Capital, Industrifonden, Telia, DIG and Matt Spetzler. Based in Sweden, Soundtrack previously raised <a rel="nofollow" href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/17/soundtrack-your-brand-a-spotify-for-b2b-nabs-22m-for-expansion/" target="_blank">about $40 million in 2017. </a></p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Soundtrack’s mostly North America-based clients include shoe company Dr. Martens, skincare store Kiehl’s, Joe & The Juice cafés and TAG Heuer. The company said customers of Tunify and Ambie, which count Hyatt and Hilton hotels as clients, can now use its AI playlist generator and other services.</p>

	Billboard’s Tetris Kelly caught up with Miss Piggy and Kermit from ‘The Muppets’ to talk about why they decided to revive their show, what they think of ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift and more!</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Miss Piggy:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Yet another blonde coming for my job. Don’t tell her I said that.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kermit:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Hey, hello there. How are you doing? </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tetris Kelly:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I’m good. So guys, I gotta be honest. I’ve literally interviewed Mariah Carey, and I think I’m more nervous now. So how are you guys doing?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Miss Piggy:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	That sounds about right. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kermit:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	We’re doing good. Thank you.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Tetris Kelly:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	You’re a superstar. OK, so why was now the time to bring <em>The Muppet Show</em> back?</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Miss Piggy:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	I don’t know. Why is anything back? Why are the ’90s back? Those clothes were awful, at least what we had is something people want.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Kermit:</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Miss Piggy is not great at promotion, but we felt like there’s always a good time to bring back singing and dancing and making people happy. The special was a way to do that.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Miss Piggy:</p>

This week, both artists had visuals join YouTube’s Billion Views Club, hitting the 10-digit milestone with visuals uploaded in 2020 and 2019, respectively.</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Firstly, the Canadian dance-pop musician scores his seventh entry into the elusive club with “Blinding Lights,” his four-week <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard Hot 100</a>-topper off album <em>After Hours</em>. The video embodies the eccentric persona The Weeknd embodied throughout that era, with the musician sporting a red blazer and shades as he hazardously wanders Las Vegas on foot and from behind the wheel.</p>

	Previously, the artist born Abel Tesfaye has had six other visuals surpass a billion plays on the platform, including “Starboy” featuring Daft Punk, “Save Your Tears” and “The Hills.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	For KISS, however, the addition of “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” to the Billion Views Club marks the band’s first. Though filmed in 1979 (according to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7529428/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">IMDb</a>), the video was posted to YouTube less than six years ago. It features the members of the iconic rock band all dressed up in their signature black-and-white hair, makeup and outfits, performing the classic hit on a stage beneath flashing lights. </p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Long before its triumph on YouTube, “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” was a success on the <em>Billboard </em>charts. It peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100, while the album it hails from, <em>Dynasty</em>, reached No. 9 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billboard 200</a>.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	<a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/chris-brown/">Chris Brown </a>has been sued by a man who claims he co-wrote two successful songs for the R&B star but hasn’t seen a penny in royalties.</p>





<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Songwriter Steve Chokpelle, also known as Muse, alleged in a Wednesday (Feb. 4) federal court complaint that he wrote the lyrics for “Sensational,” a track off Brown’s 2023 album <em>11:11</em>, which <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/chris-brown-sensational-number-1-mainstream-rb-hip-hop-airplay-chart-1235631689/">reached the top</a> of Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and peaked at No. 71 on the Billboard Hot 100. Chokpelle also says he was the lyricist for the 2022 track “Monalisa,” a collaboration between Brown, Lojay and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sarz/">Sarz</a> that hit No. 8 on Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs and No. 38 on <em>Billboard</em>‘s Rhythmic Airplay chart.</p>

	“Defendants sustained a tremendous benefit, and shall continue to receive tremendous benefit, by [earning] millions in revenues, acclaim, accolades and goodwill from the commercial exploitation of ‘Monalisa’ and ‘Sensational,’” reads the lawsuit. “As a result of defendants’ failure to acknowledge plaintiff’s authorship and copyright ownership interests, and by their failure to compensate plaintiff, defendants have been unjustly enriched.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	According to the lawsuit, Chokpelle wrote the “Monalisa” lyrics during a 2020 session with Brown and fellow singer <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/sean-kingston/">Sean Kingston</a> at Brown’s home in Tarzana, Calif. But Chokpelle is not credited on the song, and he alleges he “never received any compensation despite ‘Monalisa’s’ commercial success.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Chokpelle then claims he penned the lyrics for “Sensational” in 2023 alongside producer Onyekachi Emenalo, who goes by the moniker Krazytunez, and later shared the song with Brown. Although Chokpelle is indeed listed as a composer on the “Sensational” credits, he alleges he was intentionally left off the song’s copyright registration paperwork and has been paid “no revenues whatsoever.”</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Now, Chokpelle’s lawsuit seeks a court order that would declare him an author and co-copyright owner of both “Monalisa” and “Sensational.” He’s also seeking at least $1 million in damages as part of unjust enrichment and fraud claims against Brown, Kingston, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG).</p>



<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	Reps for Brown, Sony and UMPG did not immediately return requests for comment on Wednesday. Kingston, who is currently serving a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/sean-kingston-prison-sentence-3-years-wire-fraud/">federal prison sentence</a> after being convicted of fraud in an unrelated matter, could not immediately be reached for comment.  </p>

	“She Got Game” arrived Wednesday (Feb. 4) with a moving opening from feminist leader Gloria Steinem’s <em>Address to the Women of America</em> speech.</p>

<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	A popular crossover fixture in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s music scene, The 5th Dimension formed in Los Angeles and was originally comprised of McLemore, Billy Davis Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo and Ron Townson (who died in 2001). Known for its signature silky harmonies and sophisticated fusion of R&B, soul and pop, the group cemented its success through hits such as “Up, Up and Away,” “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures),” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “Stoned Soul Picnic” and “One Less Bell to Answer.”</p>







<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   ">
	In remembering McLemore, the group’s bass singer LaRue commented in a press release, “Proverbs 17:22 states that ‘one joyful heart is good medicine…’ Well, Lamonte really knew my prescription. His cheerfulness and laughter often brought strength and refreshment to me in difficult times. We were more like brother and sister than singing partners. I didn’t realize the depth of my love for Lamonte until he was no longer here. His absence has shown me the magnitude of what he meant to me and that love will stay in my heart forever.”</p>

	McLemore was born Sept. 17, 1935, in St. Louis. After enlisting in the Navy, he trained and worked as an aerial photographer. Before setting his sights on dual careers as a music artist and as a professional entertainment and sports photographer for <em>Jet</em> magazine and other publications, the multi-faceted McLemore sought a baseball career in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ farm system. An author as well, McLemore co-authored the 2014 autobiography <em>From Hobo Flats to The 5th Dimension: A Life Fulfilled in Baseball, Photography, and Music</em> with Robert-Allan Arno.</p>

	During McLemore’s tenure with The 5th Dimension, the group twice won record of the year Grammy Awards for “Up, Up and Away” and “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures),” the latter of which spent six weeks atop the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/">Billboard Hot 100</a>. Both songs were also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. All told, the group received seven gold albums and six RIAA-certified platinum singles. Additional achievements include embarking on a State Department cultural tour in 1973 that brought American music behind the Iron Curtain and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1991.</p>

	The 5th Dimension found themselves back in the spotlight in 2021 with the release of Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s Academy Award-winning documentary <em>Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised).</em> The group, along with Sly & the Family Stone, Nina Simone and Stevie Wonder, was among the acts who performed at the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, which is chronicled in the documentary.</p>
