The nominees for the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards are out in the open. Lady Gaga leads the pack with 12 nominations, followed by her "Die With a Smile” collaborator, Bruno Mars, who scored 11 nominations. Kendrick Lamar is the third most-nominated artist, with 10 nods, while "Apt." singer Rosé receives eight nods, alongside Sabrina Carpenter. This year's ceremony will take place on Sunday, September 7, at Long Island’s Ubs Arena, marking the second consecutive year the venue will host the event.

This isn't the first time Gaga, who has won a total of 18 VMAs so far, has scored the most nominations at the VMAs. This year, the “Abracadabra” singer is nominated for Artist of the Year, Best Album, and several others. Her nominations are largely driven by “Abracadabra” and “Die With a Smile.” Gaga’s duet partner, Mars, has a strong shot at winning in four major categories, thanks to his collaboration with Rosé for "Apt." and Gaga,...

The Best Animated Feature race at the 2026 Oscars has a fiery frontrunner in Ne Zha II, the sequel to the record-breaking Chinese megahit that took theaters by storm overseas. The franchise quickly became a cultural juggernaut but hasn’t reached those heights stateside. If the enthusiasm surrounding the series’ sequel is anything to go by, that’s all about to change.

Ne Zha II has one major attractor for finicky Western audiences: the addition of Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, who provides the English voice for the main character’s mother. At a special screening for the new animated film, the voice cast was so ecstatic about being considered coworkers with Yeoh that they were buzzing.

“It’s cliche to say, but it’s a dream come true,” Vincent Rodriguez III, who’s returning as the voice of Li Jing, told us on the carpet. “I’ve never met Michelle. This...

The Billboard Hot 100 singles chart measures the top songs every week during the tracking week of Friday through Thursday based on their combination of sales, online streams (audio and video), and radio airplay. Scroll down for the list of every song that came out on top in 2024, updated weekly.

The Beatles have had the most No. 1 hits ever with 20 different chart-toppers. They're followed closely by Mariah Carey, who has led the tally with 19 songs; she also holds the record for the most cumulative weeks spent at the top spot. Carey's 1995 duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day," once held the record for the longest run on top with 16 weeks at No. 1. But that was eventually tied by "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber in 2017, and then finally bested by Lil Nas X, whose "Old Town Road" featuring Billy Ray Cyrus commanded the chart for 19 weeks...

Brad Pitt’s F1 is currently dominating headlines and box office records, but Bullet Train leaves it in the dust when it comes to a soundtrack showdown. The 2022 action-comedy movie Bullet Train, based on Kōtarō Isaka’s novel Maria Beetle, wasn’t just a thrilling watch due to its stylistic visuals, amazing cast, and twists, but also the music!

And even though F1’s whole album featured music from global giants, it couldn’t quite deliver the same emotions. Both movies had sky-high ambition, but let’s look at how they compare when it comes to soundtracks and what F1 exactly needed to elevate itself on the musical front.

F1 was scored by Hans Zimmer, the legendary music director who’s known for composing masterpieces in movies like Interstellar, Gladiator, and Inception.

Avex Music Group, the international division of Japanese entertainment giant Avex, and S10 highlighted their chart successes of 2025 on Wednesday morning.

The company, led by recently-appointed CEO Brandon Silverstein, has a roster of songwriters, producers and artists across pop and hip-hop. The company’s publishing talent has had a seemingly big year thus far.

Drake’s “What Did I Miss?” reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and produced by Avex producer Elyas. Another Avex producer, Elkan, produced Drake’s “Nokia” and was a producer on Travis Scott’s JackBoys 2, which earned a No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, respectively. Other chart highlights of the year for Avex included Tate McRae’s hits “Sports Car” and “Revolving Door,” which were produced and co-written by Grant Boutin. The songwriter and producer also contributed Don Toliver and Doja Cat’s F1 soundtrack song “Lose My Mind.

The Kid Laroi is seemingly confirming that he and Tate McRae have broken up.

The 21-year-old “Stay” singer responded to a fan on X claiming that his team was encouraging users to make disparaging posts about 22-year-old Tate.

The posts, which all shared lyrics for The Kid Laroi‘s new song “Hot Girl Problems,” said that Tate “fumbled” him, shared an image of Tate vacationing on a boat, and The Kid Laroi getting into the studio after they broke up.

The Kid Laroi responded to the claim that he and his team were encouraging the posts. He shared a reply on X and said, “so yall know I have Nothing to do with this and I Do Not co sign this behavior whatsoever. working to get these removed.”

Along with the post, he shared a screenshot of a text message conversation with his social media team.

Morgan Wallen has dropped a remix of his single, “Miami,” featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.

“Miami” was originally released as part of Wallen’s recent LP, I’m the Problem, and incorporates elements of Keith Whitley’s 1985 hit “Miami, My Amy.” The song was produced by Charlie Handsome, with the remix featuring new verses from Weezy and Ross.

Wallen teased the idea of adding a rapper onto the song during an interview in April. “It seemed like it could use a rapper on there,” he said of the track.

Camila Cabello has new management, as the the pop star has signed on with Full Stop Management, a source familiar with the matter confirms to The Hollywood Reporter.

Cabello will be managed by Jeffrey Azoff, Tina Kennedy, Maria Chon and Gian Mitchell, the latter of whom came over with Cabello from previous management. Cabello officially joined Full Stop last month. The move comes months after Cabello had parted ways with her longtime manager Roger Gold, who also co-founded the record label 300 Entertainment. With Full Stop — the superstar management company headed by Irving and Jeffrey Azoff — Cabello joins a stacked roster that also includes Harry Styles, Tate McRae, John Mayer and U2 among others.

A rep for Cabello couldn’t be reached. Cabello just wrapped a successful European leg of her Yours, C tour in Europe, and she will continue the tour with dates in Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia...

Morgan Wallen has funded 35 kids to go to a music and art camp this summer. This is just one of the things Morgan has done to give back to his community. However, the children are grateful, and so are their parents. Parenting can be hard, and some parents cannot afford to send their kids to a camp focused on their interests. However, Morgan changed that for them. There is a lot to unfold and uncover. Keep reading to find out more about this situation.

Morgan Wallen Does Wrong And Right

Morgan Wallen has done his fair share of wrongs and rights. He has been arrested for throwing a chair off the rooftop of Eric Church’s bar. Not only that, but he was cancelled after fans learned he used a racial slur. Since then, he has not stopped fighting for his reputation and has put out public apologies. Fans cannot...

Morgan Wallen just pulled off one of the rarest feats in modern Billboard history — claiming three of the top five spots on the Hot 100 simultaneously. That’s right, the 32-year-old country megastar currently holds the chart with “What I Want” (featuring Tate McRae), “Just In Case”, and “I’m The Problem”, all sitting comfortably in the top 5. It's a record-breaking move that proves Wallen isn’t just the face of country music — he’s dominating the entire pop landscape, too.

It’s a staggering flex for an artist whose controversies might’ve derailed someone else’s career years ago. Instead, Wallen’s momentum has only grown stronger, with I’m The Problem — the album that houses two of those singles — still holding the No. 1 spot on the Top Country Albums chart six weeks after debut. And he’s not stopping there.

While I’m The Problem continues to lead the country pack,...

Morgan Wallen has quickly become one of the most influential singers in country music today. His career began when he was a contestant on Season 6 of The Voice. He was eliminated during the playoffs, but the public exposure was enough to launch his career.

He ended up signing with Big Loud Records and released his first studio album, If I Know Me, in 2018. Morgan Wallen followed it up with Dangerous: The Double Album in 2021. The album debuted at the top of the country album charts, where it stayed for an astounding ten weeks.

A month after the Dangerous album dropped, Morgan Wallen’s career was in jeopardy after he was caught on camera using a racial slur. However, his fans rallied around him and the sales of the record actually increased.

He was able to make a comeback after nearly being canceled. He released the album One Thing at a...

The soundtrack to Brad Pitt’s F1 is nearly as star-studded as the movie itself, which stars Pitt in the shoes of an aging veteran Sonny Hayes, and Damson Idris as talented rookie Joshua Pearce. While the movie still boasts a rocking score from Hans Zimmer, marking the composer’s second collaboration with Joseph Kosinski, it’s the star-studded and diverse soundtrack that really kicks the paddle shifter into overdrive.

There are no bad songs to choose from, as the blend of originals and classics complements the movie’s high octane nature and the rising conflict between Jp and Hayes. However, some tracks do stand out better than others, especially the ones that perfectly underscore the more impactful moments in the movie.

Ryan Tedder is getting honest about using AI in his work.

The award-winning OneRepublic singer-songwriter and producer, who has worked with acts like Taylor Swift, Tate McRae, John Legend, Miley Cyrus, and Beyonce, spoke out in a recent interview on Nova’s Smallzy’s Surgery.

During the conversation with Smallzy, he spoke out AI transforming the industry, and how it’s being used to write new music.

“It is changing music…it’s changing it from a creative perspective, I’ve gotten cuts because for instance, if I’m pitching a song to a female artist, historically I would either just leave me on singing the demo or occasionally I would hire a female demo singer to come in and replace me which they call a scratch vocal…but with AI, I started probably 18 months ago replacing my voice,” he explained.

When studio executives on blockbuster films are looking to make a splash with a star-studded soundtrack to help meet the moment, one of the first calls they’re making these days is likely to Kevin Weaver.

Weaver, the west coast president at Atlantic Records, is on a roll, having co-produced the soundtracks for Barbie in 2023 and Twisters last year, the former of which won the Grammy for best compilation soundtrack for visual media and spawned several hit singles, while the latter’s already been certified gold and, per Weaver, is nearing platinum status.

Now he’s looking to go three-for-three with F1, which hits theaters Friday and is looking to do laps around the competition at the box office this weekend, while F1 the Album officially hit streaming services today as well. Zimmer composed the music for the film, and his score album released Friday as well.

“We take big swings,...

There was a period in the late Nineties and early aughts when every blockbuster movie was seemingly accompanied by an equally-popular soundtrack, with the songs and A-list artists almost as inescapable as the action on screen. From Titanic and Twilight to The Fast & The Furious, the songs released from the hit movies often ended up becoming hits themselves, propelling both the artists and the films to even bigger heights.

The same feeling runs through the star-studded soundtrack to the new F1 movie, which features 17 high-octane tracks that mirror the...

Ready, set, Go! Joseph Kosinski’s F1 brought plenty of excitement, stars and cars to the film’s European premiere in London’s Leicester Square last night.

The summer of 2024 solidified Love Island USA as a top reality-tv choice for households across the country, and 2025 is proving to be a repeat success. The series — which puts a dozen twenty-somethings on a remote villa in Fiji where they are filmed at all hours, all for the sake of finding love or the possibility of a $100,000 cash prize — has tapped into the zeitgeist yet again.

All the gold-star elements of last year’s hit have returned: Beloved host Ariana Madix is back, a new crew is in the villa,...

Ed Sheeran debuted a new song and music video ahead of the opening of F1: The Movie.

On Thursday, the singer released “Drive,” set to be featured on The F1: The Album. The film, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski, and companion album releases on June 27.

“Drive,” produced by John Mayer and Blake Slatkin, features Mayer on guitar alongside Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl on drums, bassist Pino Paladino and keyboardist Rami Jaffee, with additional keyboards and drum programming by Slatkin.

F1: The Album was produced and overseen by Atlantic Records west coast president Kevin Weaver, who also produced Barbie The Album, Twisters: The Album, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad, Daisy Jones & The Six and Birds Of Prey soundtracks, along with Atlantic Records’ evp and co-head of Pop/Rock A&r, Brandon Davis, and Atlantic Records’ svp A&r/marketing, Joseph Khoury.

Ed Sheeran is back with “Drive” a new rock song featuring Dave Grohl on drums and John Mayer on guitar.

The new song is included on the soundtrack for F1, the new Formula 1 racing film starring Brad Pitt that arrives in theaters next Friday, June 27th. Atop a bluesy, ’70s-inspired riff, Sheeran offers a handful of racing and car-centric lyrics in the raspiest, grittiest vocal tone he can muster. “Ha-la-lay-la/ We can ride/ Four wheels you and I/ Gotta get out of here,” he sings in the anthemic chorus, later unleashing a soulful, escalating command after each refrain: “Petal down and driiiiiiiiive.”

“Drive” was produced by Blake Slatkin as well as Mayer. In addition to Mayer and Grohl playing on the track, Sheeran recruited fellow Foo Fighters member Rami Jaffee on keys and Pino Palladino on bass. Sheeran originally previewed the song via his Instagram Story last month, advertising it...

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” has debuted atop Billboard’s Hot 100, the publication confirmed Monday, marking Carpenter’s second chart-topping song in her career.

“Manchild,” the lead single off Carpenter’s upcoming seventh album Man’s Best Friend, debuted with 27.1 million streams, per Billboard, while it sold 20,000 units. It dethroned rising Atlantic act Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which had spent the past two weeks atop the Hot 100. The number one opening comes almost exactly a year after Carpenter landed her first number one last June with “Please Please Please.”

The hot start is a positive sign as Carpenter looks to lock in the song of the summer for another year, after her breakthrough hit “Espresso” became one of the biggest songs of 2024. Elsewhere on the songs chart, Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae’s “What I Want” fell to No. 3, and Wallen’s “Just in Case” came in fourth. Kendrick Lamar and Sza’s “Luther,...

Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson has shared a new song, “Midnight Sun,” which will serve as the title track from her upcoming fourth album, out Sept. 26.

“Midnight Sun” teeters the between ebullient and delirious, with production that nods to frenetic house breakbeats, serene trance synths, and big tent Edm build-ups. Larsson’s vocals and lyrics, meanwhile, give the track pop gem of the summer potential: “It’s the midnight sun, kissed skin under the red sky,” she sings on the chorus, “Laying on your chest like this/Hold me like the pebbles in your hand,...

“It’s hard being ahead,” Charli xcx declared at an early viewing party for her sixth studio album, Brat, last May, roughly a month before the record’s debut. “We’re all ahead because everybody in here, like, gets it.”

Flash forward a year, it’s been exactly 365 days since Charli debuted the project that defined the summer of 2024 (a la “Brat summer”), had everyone wanting to be a party girl and now unofficially defines the lime green color. A year later, it still feels like Brat summer still hasn’t ended yet (perhaps because she’s still touring the record this summer).

At this point, though, most know that the Essex singer-songwriter breach’s into commercial success was a long-time coming. Of course, Charli broke out years ago, earning her first (and sole) No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with she and Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” in the summer of 2014.

Coincidentally,...

It’s a particularly noteworthy New Music Friday this week as Lil Wayne released Tha Carter VI, his first album in five years, while TikTok influencer turned rising pop star Addison Rae released her much-anticipated debut album Addison, and Turnstile, the world’s hottest hardcore band, dropped their latest album Never Enough as well.

Meanwhile, on the singles end, Sabrina Carpenter may have just released the song of the summer with “Manchild,” and Mariah Carey dropped “Type Dangerous,” her first new single in years. All that music’s made for one of the most-stacked release days of 2025 and brings with it lots of chart intrigue as all the stars are vying for the top spots.

In the album race, Morgan Wallen is the current champion as I’m The Problem is one of the biggest records of the year. It debuted atop Billboard’s albums chart with 493,000 units two weeks ago,...

On Thursday, Tiësto and Sexyy Red released “Omg,” a track from F1 the Album (the soundtrack of F1 the Movie). The two get the party started over thumping club drums and spacey synths. Sexyy begins the track rhyming, “Airplanes on the roof, body get high like a balloon / Hurricane in the room, and they’re like, ‘Oh, my God’” on the chorus. She then follows up with a characteristically braggadocious verse where she raps, “bad bitch so I’m breakin all the rules / pay my own bills, I do what I wanna do,...

Shane Gillis hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time back in 2024, complete with an irony-free sketch about an office Hr meeting starring the guy who was fired from the show in 2019.

Gillis returned to host Saturday Night Live for a second time this past March. And while his fans no doubt enjoyed the appearance, others weren’t so thrilled with the episode. Especially controversial was the opening monologue, in which Gillis casually riffed on Trump’s threats to annex Greenland and delved into his own admittedly “racist” insecurity over his girlfriend’s diverse sexual history.

The crowd’s reaction to the monologue was mixed at best, but coming from the typically over-charitable SNL audience, the performance was quickly labeled a “bomb” by the media, and criticized for its tone-deafness.

But if you ask Gillis what went wrong, he’ll tell you that the real problem wasn’t his material,...

You could say that Morgan Wallen has achieved his 2020s pop domination by brute force. His last two albums — 2021’s Dangerous: The Double Album and 2023’s One Thing at a Time — clock in at 30 and 36 tracks respectively, which thanks to streaming-era math is a boon to one’s chart fortunes. Just look at the current albums chart: Both releases are still in the Billboard 200’s top ten as of this writing, with Thing at Number 4 and Dangerous at Number 9, and they’ve each clocked in more than 100 weeks in the album chart’s highest echelon.

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem hasn’t even been out for 24 hours, and it’s already the most-streamed country album of 2025. On Friday, Spotify confirmed the news on social media, celebrating the milestone.

“Morgan Wallen just made country history—again,” Spotify wrote on X with the statistic. The service did not share additional information on the streaming numbers, but at least eight of the LP’s songs had well over 8 million streams at time of publication.

It’s been only about half a day, and Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem is already the most-streamed country album of 2025, Spotify confirmed Friday.

Spotify didn’t disclose streaming numbers on release day so far but shared the impressive stat on social media.

Wallen’s fourth album was widely expected in the industry to become one of the biggest records of the year given Wallen’s own pedigree as country’s biggest streaming superstar. Wallen’s 2023 album One Thing at a Time is still sitting at number four on Billboard’s 200 Albums chart as of Friday, and it’s stayed on the chart for 114 weeks. 2021’s Dangerous: The Double Album, meanwhile, is still at number nine on the chart and has spent 226 weeks on the chart.

The record’s success continued over the weekend. On Saturday, Apple Music announced that I’m The Problem had broken the record...
