Mariah Carey has cooked up another sweet fantasy with “Sugar Sweet,” her latest single featuring Shenseea and Kehlani that dropped on Friday (July 25).
“Sugar Sweet” is the second single released ahead of Carey’s 16th studio album Here For It All, which drops Sept. 26 via gamma. In June, she shared the lead single “Type Dangerous,” as well as an accompanying remix EP featuring collaborations with Busta Rhymes, Method Man and Red Man; Big Sean; DJ Snake and Luísa Sonza. “Type Dangerous,” which samples Eric B. & Rakim‘s 1986 track “Eric B. Is President,” became her 50thBillboard Hot 100 hit, reaching No. 95. It also entered the top 10 of R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.
At the start of this month, the elusive chanteuse revealed she had finished Here For It Allduring a sit-down interview with Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden at the new Apple Music Studios in Los Angeles during a special live broadcast to celebrate the streaming platform’s 10th anniversary. Mimi said she was “very excited” about “Sugar Sweet” because “it’s very summery. I like the beat as well.” She also revealed that Here For It All will feature 11 or 12 songs, including “some Mariah ballads.”

During his July 11 and 12 shows at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, as part of his current headlining I’m The Problem Tour, Morgan Wallen teased fans during his nightly stage walkout video by swapping out his usual walkout song and instead introducing a clip of a remixed version of his song “Miami,” featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.
Now, he’s released the new collaboration version of the song, which also incorporates elements of Keith Whitley’s 1985 hit “Miami, My Amy,” which was written by Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran and Royce Porter.

Of course, this is far from Wallen’s first hip-hop and rap collaboration. The country star previously collaborated with Lil Durk on the songs “Broadway Girls” (which topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 2022) and “Stand By Me.” He also teamed with Moneybagg Yo for the song “Whiskey Whiskey.” Additionally, Wallen made a cameo in the music video for Drake’s song “You Broke My Heart” in 2023. Drake also was one of Wallen’s walkout guests on his I’m The Problem Tour, during his June 21 show in Houston.
Since the release of his new, 37-song album I’m the Problem in May, the project spent its first two months atop the all-genre Billboard 200, and spurred Billboard Hot 100-topping songs including “What I Want” (with Tate McRae) and “Love Somebody,” and the top 10 hits “Lies Lies Lies,” “I Got Better,” and the top 5 hits “I’m The Problem” and “Just in Case.”
Listen to “Miami,” featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, below:

Madonna’s long-rumored Ray of Light remix album becomes reality today (Friday, July 25), with the project featuring rare and unreleased edits of songs from her 1998 masterpiece.

Madonna in Her ‘Ray of Light’ Era: Revisit the Best Photos Ahead of ‘Veronica Electronica…
Remixers on the project include Ray of Light co-creator William Orbit and clubs kings Peter Rauhofer, Sasha, BT and Victor Calderone. Veronica Electronica also includes the original demo of “Gone, Gone, Gone,” a previously unreleased recording co-produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels, who co-wrote several Ray of Light tracks alongside her in the late ’90s.
The rest of the tracklist includes “Drowned World/Substitute For Love,” “Ray Of Light,” “Skin,” “Nothing Really Matters,” “Sky Fits Heaven,” “Frozen” and “The Power Of Good-Bye.”
Released in February of 1998, Ray of Light spent 78 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 2. (The Titanic soundtrack blocked it from the top spot.) It generated four Hot 100 hits with the title track, “Frozen,” “The Power of Goodbye” and “Nothing Really Matters” and won four Grammy awards, including the trophy for best pop album, in 1999.
Ray of Light was of course a major moment for electronic music’s mainstream crossover, with Madonna being the first major pop artist to do an entirely electronic album and thus helping push ’90s club culture onto radio and into pop culture. While Veronica Electronica was originally intended to be a remix companion to Ray of Light, it was shelved due to the success of the album, which ultimately sold more than 16 million copies.
27 years later, the project is out and ready for the weekend. Stream it below.

Shakira & The Weeknd to Headline 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park
The four-track pack includes two previously released singles “Bliss” and “Is It” as well as two new songs: “Dynamite,” featuring Wizkid, and “Mr. Media.” “When I thought of doing a mixtape called ‘WWP,’ I went back to all my old demos and I remembered the Wiz one,” she said of the 2022 demo during an exclusive listening session in London earlier this month. “And it was still good, like, after three years! I just told him, ‘Let’s finish it because I want to drop it.’”
At the same event, Tyla explained the meaning behind the title WWP. “I’ve been on this tip of enjoying life, not just partying, but just enjoyment with people that I love, with people that are a vibe,” the “Water” hitmaker said. “‘We wanna party’ is actually a South African chant, so we’ve been using it forever. And it’s been a thing for hyping up people and just that feeling of enjoyment. I thought it was perfect for the mixtape ’cause the music screams ‘we wanna party!’”
The Grammy-winning South African star is set to perform at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival on the Great Lawn in New York’s Central Park on Sept. 27, which will be headlined by The Weeknd and Shakira. Ayra Starr and Mariah the Scientist are also featured on the lineup.

If only they had an “Ask a Billboard Charts Department Member” lifeline.
On the season premiere last night (Wednesday, July 23) of ABC’s Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, contestants Drew Carey and Aisha Tyler were cruising along, until they got to a question about the Hot 100.

Britney Spears’ 20 Biggest Hot 100 Hits, From ‘…Baby One More Time’ to ‘Hold Me Closer…
The two stars (who each previously hosted Whose Line Is It Anyway?) had won $16,000 for their charities — La Maida Project and International Rescue Committee, respectively — when they were faced with the following question from host Jimmy Kimmel: “With a whopping 11, which of these singers has more #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 than the other three combined?”
Carey and Tyler were originally on the right track. “I think it’s A or B,” Carey said. “I actually think it’s A or D,” Tyler countered. As they pondered the question further, they drifted toward Spears, given, in part, that Houston died in 2012.
They decided to ask the audience, who voted and settled on Spears (60%) as the consensus correct answer, followed by Houston (38%) and rounded out distantly by Dion (2%) and Turner (0%).
The pair trusted the audience and Tyler the delivered the fateful words: “Britney Spears, final answer.”
The correct answer then flashed in green … Whitney Houston.
“The answer rhymed with ‘itney’,” Kimmel consoled Carey and Tyler.
Unfortunately not the students of the Billboard charts that they needed to be for that particular question, the tandem learned that Houston achieved 11 career Hot 100 No. 1s. Spears has scored five; Dion, four; and Turner, one.

Houston’s 11 leaders, between 1985 and 1995: “Saving All My Love for You,” “How Will I Know,” “Greatest Love of All,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” “So Emotional,” “Where Do Broken Hearts Go,” “I’m Your Baby Tonight,” “All the Man That I Need,” “I Will Always Love You” and “Exhale (Shoop Shoop).”
Spears has topped the Hot 100 with “…Baby One More Time,” “Womanizer,” “3,” “S&M” (with Rihanna) and “Hold It Against Me,” between 1999 and 2011.
Houston boasts the ninth-most No. 1s in the Hot 100’s 67-year history. The Beatles lead with 20, followed by Mariah Carey (19), Rihanna (14), Drake, Michael Jackson (13 each), Madonna, the Supremes and Taylor Swift (12 each). Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder (10 each) have also each earned double-digit totals.
Despite their elimination, Carey and Tyler’s night ended on an important positive, as they received $32,000 for their charities.
Also good: the next Who Wants To Be a Millionaire contestants got their own Hot 100 question correct. Jeopardy host Ken Jennings and Kimmel frenemy Matt Damon knew that the briefest hit ever on the chart, Jack Black’s “Steve’s Lava Chicken,” is from A Minecraft Movie.
“We hear that a lot in my house,” Kimmel noted of the 34-second-long (or, short) hit.

Hallwood Media has signed imoliver — dubbed in a press release as the top-streaming “AI music designer” on AI music platform Suno — to a record deal, making it the first label ever to sign an AI music creator to such a deal, the company announced Thursday (July 24).
To kick off the deal, imoliver will be releasing “Stone,” a song originally released on Suno, to all streaming services on Aug. 8. To date, the song has more than 3 million streams on Suno, a powerful and controversial platform that can generate songs at the click of a button. Given that some streaming services, including Spotify, still do not have any AI music-specific policies in place, imoliver is expected to generate streams like any other artist, unless he breaks other rules like impersonation, spamming, or artificial streaming.

Will the Rise of AI Music Content Creators Start Competing with Traditional Artists?
Through imoliver’s new deal with Hallwood, he will gain new marketing, promotion and artist services to further his AI music to greater success. On Oct. 24, imoliver is also slated to drop his debut album. As the press release states: “In the coming weeks, Hallwood will release a series of new singles from the creator, supported by visual storytelling and audio content that will introduce this exciting new talent as well as help music fans better understand this new medium and appreciate how the role of music designer fits into the tapestry of creative music making in the age of AI.”
Hallwood Media is a multi-faceted music company, servicing talent through its recording, management, publishing, distribution and merch divisions. It is helmed (and founded) by former Geffen Records president Neil Jacobson, who has been a longtime advocate for innovation in the music business. Through his investing arm, Hallwood Media Ventures, which was founded in 2021 with partner Todd Lowen, Jacobson has helped fund Disco, Splice, Soundful and other music tech firms.
News of imoliver’s label deal comes just one day after Billboard published a story detailing the rise of a new class of music makers who earn a living from generating AI music and distributing it to social media and streaming services. Though these creators largely exist as outsiders to the music business — without signing traditional label deals, going on tour or selling merch — their AI-generated or assisted work does compete for royalty dollars with entirely human-made songs on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. imoliver is the first of this class of AI music content creators to sign a record deal with an established music company like Hallwood.
In a statement, Jacobson said of the deal: “imoliver represents the future of our medium. He’s a music designer who stands at the intersection of craftwork and taste. As we share his journey, the world will see the dexterity behind his work and what makes it so special. What he does is exactly why I love music and why we push boundaries at Hallwood.”
imoliver added that “signing with Hallwood is a huge moment, not just for me, but for the future of music. It’s a sign the industry is ready to embrace new ideas and new ways of creating. This isn’t about replacing artists, it’s about expanding what’s possible.”
Mikey Shulman, CEO of Suno, adds: “This is a milestone — not just for Oliver, Hallwood and Suno, but for the future of music. A new creator emerging from a new platform, making new kinds of content, shows that the future of music will be more vast and more inclusive than it is today. The boundaries of artistry are ever expanding.”

Kesha had someone special in her corner ahead of her New York City concert on Wednesday night (July 23): Cassie Ventura.
On the evening of her performance at Madison Square Garden, the pop star shared a photo of a bouquet of pink roses and wrote on X, “Thank u Cassie.”
“Love you sweet girl, my good luck angel for MSG,” Kesha added.
During the show — which marked the latest stop on Kesha’s Tits Out Tour — she also gave Ventura a special shoutout. “Earlier tonight, Cassie sent me flowers backstage,” she told the crowd, according to E News. “I just want you to know that all of this love is not only for me, it’s for anyone who survived anything that they shouldn’t have had to survive.”
The exchange comes just a few weeks after the conclusion of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal trial, at which Ventura was a witness. Despite the R&B singer’s days of testimony — during which she detailed claims that Combs abused and trafficked her during their past relationship — Combs was ultimately only convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on other, more serious charges of sex-trafficking and racketeering, all of which his legal team vehemently denied throughout the legal process.
When the verdict came out, Kesha wrote on X, “Cassie, I believe you. I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.”

Travis Kelce Jokes He’s Living Out a Gender-Swapped ‘Pretty Woman’ With ‘High Class…
In the first of the pictures posted to Kelce’s Instagram, he and his superstar girlfriend pose together at night while on a boat, both of them wearing white and pointing to their matching “Captain” caps. In another adorable snap, he holds up finger guns while Swift shows off a pair of glasses, with the couple seemingly out on a dinner date.
Further photos show the athlete and singer on trips with friends, from a group hangout at a snowy escape to a summery expedition to what appears to be a cave. In the latter, Kelce rests a hand on Swift’s hip while she places a hand lovingly on his neck, with the duo’s friends smiling at the camera to their left.
“Had some adventures this offseason, kept it [100],” Kelce wrote in his caption.
Though the Kansas City Chiefs star has been open about being romantically involved with the 14-time Grammy winner, his post marks one of the first times he’s shared photos of himself and Swift on Instagram. The couple has been dating since 2023, but now that the singer’s Eras Tour is over and Kelce has had a break between NFL seasons, they’ve seemingly had more time to spend together.
One event the couple attended together was Kelce’s Tight End University, an annual summit held in Nashville for the NFL’s tight ends. Swift walked the red carpet with her boyfriend at the gathering’s opening ceremonies before delivering a surprise performance of “Shake It Off” at an afterparty.
The musician also recently came up during a discussion between Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, on their New Heights podcast. While discussing the film Pretty Woman, the younger Kelce joked that he’s living a gender-swapped version of the movie’s plot with Swift.
“I’m wearing nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home,” he quipped on the episode. “I’m just an NFL stripper, that’s it — just an NFL hooker, man.”
