Harry Styles dropped his new album ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally,’ and Billboard staffers sit down to react to Billboard’s rankings of the album and to share their personal rankings and opinions.
Kyle Denis:
Mr. Styles, the man that you are. This is my No. 1, man.
Meghan Mahar:
I have it at No. 4. I found that wildly disrespectful.
Jason Lipshutz:
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.
Meghan Mahar:
Your mind is so powerful.
Tetris Kelly:
Billboard’s staff is reacting to our ranking for Harry Styles’ new album ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.’
Meghan Mahar:
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.
Jason Lipshutz:
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.
Kyle Denis:
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.

Disco, Occasionally’ | Billboard News
The two concerts that P!nk had scheduled for this spring at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City have been canceled, promoter Ocesa announced Friday (March 6).
A show by singer Carolina Ross and another by rapper Lucho SSJ were also canceled, but Ocesa tells Billboard Español the cancellations are unrelated.
In a statement 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.”

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.
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.
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 explained 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.
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 said 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.
“Ni–a Dropped dat Weak A$$ Track It ain’t sh– you can do, DAT WE CANT MR 5 0 ‼️ So yall just sit back and watch da show WE FINNA COOK THIS [duck emoji] Ahhh Ni–a,” King captioned the post for his “Droptop” diss.
The fiery track finds King hitting 50 with jabs like, “You were made from 50 cents because your mama gave it cheap.”
“F—K IT Dis Why he mad yall cuz this beautiful woman ain’t want em it may be y he beat women,” King added. “@50cent YOU GON LEARN TO STOP FW US CANT BEAT US WIT LIES/ PAID RUMORS ‼️ BUT ISSA FACT YA MAMA WAS F—NG(junkies) FA A REUP AND YO NEW CLOTHES WHILE EATING DIRTY🐱ON DA SIDE I CANT RELATE.”
Hollywood Unlocked reposted King’s post about 50, and the Queens legend hopped into the comment section with a message. “LOL IF HE KEEP THIS UP Diddy not gonna want to walk around with her. LSW,” 50 chimed in.
Domani backed up with his brother with another50 Cent diss track titled “PU$Y.” He refers to 50 as a “cornball” and an “informant” while landing haymakers for punchlines.
“Bring back the vest, when you was at your best,” he raps. “Not that it would matter, f— your chest / ‘Cause why I’m at your neck for talkin’ out it / Yeah let’s talk about it, don’t get quiet now / The quiet kid done f—in’ dialed in / Don’t throw the towel now, y’all chime in / He need an audience so give it to him.”
Domani then brings up 50’s ex, Daphne Joy, to close the scintillating diss, who previously accused the “Many Men” rapper of sexual abuse and rape, which 50 denied and responded with a defamation lawsuit.
“I guess that deal just wasn’t sweet enough surprisingly you sell your a– for anything then try and talk about Daphne/ Cough for your mama get up Curtis don’t look for your grandma,” he raps.
50 got up off the mat and shrewdly responded to T.I. and Tiny with a couple of bars in his new Power Origins theme song “No One Told Us,” which features Leon Thomas.
“I’m back on my dope boy grammar/ Your daddy made your mama eat every box in Atlanta/ Freak s—t, peep s—t/ Keep s—t, on the low/ But everybody know,” he raps while referencing the sexual assault allegations Tip and Tiny have faced.
The 50 Cent and T.I. battle added a few more chapters on Friday (March 6) and doesn’t appear to be coming to a close very soon.

Like father, like daughter. North West is looking to follow in her dad, Ye’s (formerly Kanye West), footsteps as a dual-threat artist and producer.
North previewed some unreleased music on her TikTok Live earlier this week, and one track finds her sampling her father’s 808s & Heartbreak track “Coldest Winter.”

FKA Twigs Reveals How North West Ended Up on ‘Eusexua’: ‘I’m So Grateful’
The electropop tribute — which interpolates Tears for Fears’ “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.
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.
Back in January, North previewed a collaboration 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.”
Days later, a blue-haired North joined Kanye in Mexico City 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.
North stayed busy in 2025, where she notched a collaboration with FKA Twigs, which saw her rap in Japanese on Eusexua standout “Childlike Things.” The 12-year-old also contributed to the Ye-produced “Lonely Roads,” which landed on King Combs’Never Stop EP.
According to Rolling Stone, 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.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is making his NBA return tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. After suffering a season-ending achilles tear last May during the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks, the all-star forward has been dedicated to recovering and getting back on the hardwood as soon as possible.

Many fans are speculating whether his “rushed” return is risky, especially with the Celtics still playing top-level basketball this season.

It’s official: Olivia Dean is standing on Australia’s all-time chart podium.
The newly-minted breakthrough artist winner at the Grammy Awards holds top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart with The Art Of Loving, for its 10th non-consecutive weeks at No. 1. At the same time, “Man I Need” retains top spot on the ARIA Singles Chart for the 16th consecutive week.
With that feat, “Man I Need” is the third longest-reigning single since the ARIA Charts were first published in 1983.
The English singer and songwriter is nipping at the heels of Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” (from 2025) and The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s Stay (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.
“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.
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’ Fancy That, meanwhile, glides 39-6 on the albums chart, for a new peak position.
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 DEADLINE EP. It’s the K-pop quartet’s 10th top 50 appearance on the national singles frame, including three top 10s and a groundbreaking No. 1 with 2022’s “Pink Venom.”
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.
Over on the ARIA Albums Chart, Bruno Mars has the top debut with his fourth studio album, The Romantic. It’s new at No. 2. Mars also peaked at No. 2 in 2010 with Doo-Wops & Hooligans; went all the way to No. 1 for three weeks with 2013’s Unorthodox Jukebox; and hit No. 3 with 2016’s 24K Magic. Also, his Silk Sonic collaboration with Anderson Paak bagged a top 10 appearance with 2021’s An Evening With Silk Sonic, peaking at No. 4. The Romantic generates the top new debut on the ARIA Singles Chart, “Risk It All,” new at No. 13.
Mitski enjoys a career high with her eighth studio album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, which opens its ARIA Chart account at No. 3. That eclipses the No. 7 for her 2022 collection Laurel Hell.
Close behind is Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s “virtual band” Gorillaz, with The Mountain. It’s new at No. 4, for Gorillaz’s sixth top 10 appearance on the ARIA Chart, a tally that includes their 2010 leader Plastic Beach.
Finally, new album releases from Australia acts Pacific Avenue (Lovesick Sentimental at No. 17) and Telenova (The Warning at No. 28) impact the top 40 at first attempt.

Billboard’s Friday Music Guide 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.
This week, Harry Styles returns with his hotly-anticipated fourth solo album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Plus: Yebba releases her stunning second album, Jean; Ayra Starr releases a much-teased new single; and aespa reveal their theme song for an upcoming anime series. Check out all of this week’s picks below:
Harry Styles, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
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. Kiss All The Time 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. Kiss All The Time was executive produced by Styles’ longtime collaborator, Kid Harpoon.
Just two weeks ago, celebrated singer-songwriter Yebba announced that her second album, Jean, would arrive on March 6. The reveal came with lead single (and album standout “Yellow Eyes”). The album follows Yebba’s 2021 debut, Dawn, which was largely inspired by the loss of her mother and earned a Grammy Award nomination for best traditional R&B performance. And while Jean 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.”
Ayra Starr, “Where Do We Go”
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.
aespa, “Attitude”
After collaborating with Anderson. Paak in February on “Keychain,” a single inspired by his directorial debut, K-POPS!, 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 Kill Blue (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.
The Warning, “Kerosene”
Fast-rising Mexican rock band the Warning 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 could mean the band’s fifth album is on the way — its last full-length, Keep Me Fed, 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.”

For his next trick, Dom Dolla updates a bonafide banger from his youth — Puretone’s “Addicted to Bass.”
The Australian EDM star drops “Addicted To Bass (Dom Dolla Relapse),” a remix of another classic Aussie track that marks his first release this year.
“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. 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.”
“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 single wouldn’t been crowned champion.
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!”
The fresh cut 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 YouTube, 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 F1: The Movie.
It’s full steam ahead for Dom, whose itinerary this year includes major festival and headline shows across Asia, Latin and North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, a 13-week residency at Hï Ibiza, and an extension of his residency at LIV Las Vegas.
