Ahead of his concert at the Ziggo Dome in the Netherlands on Aug. 9, the K-pop star has scheduled live viewings of the performance for fans in other parts of the globe to watch along as it unfolds. Tickets are now on sale, with ARMY able to search up nearby screenings and purchase theater seats on Jin’s website.

The musician has also shared a trailer for the performance, which dropped on YouTube on Wednesday (July 23). The teaser compiles footage from past shows on his ongoing #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, which kicked off June 28 in Goyang, South Korea. His live-streamed performance in Amsterdam will mark the penultimate show on his solo trek, which will conclude the next day with a second concert at the Ziggo Dome.

The RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR marked Jin’s first-ever tour independent from BTS. It supported Echo, his second solo album that dropped this past May and reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

After the solo trek wraps, Jin will rejoin bandmates RM, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook as they plan for a highly anticipated reunion in 2026. As previously announced in a group Weverse livestream, which found the Bangtan Boys appearing as unit on camera for the first time since they all completed their obligations to the South Korean military, the reunion will entail a new album and world tour.

For now, fans can enjoy Permission to Dance On Stage — Live, BTS’ new live album that arrived July 18.

Watch the trailer for Jin’s RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in AMSTERDAM: LIVE VIEWING below.

BLACKPINK came to Rogers Stadium for the first of two nights on the Toronto leg of their Deadline World Tour on Tuesday night.

As hard as it is to believe now that Toronto is one of North America’s top concert markets, it was the superstar K-pop girl group’s first time playing in the city. BLACKPINK has been in the area, playing in nearby Hamilton in 2019 and 2022, but they made sure to make this first proper Toronto date count.

Unlike Coldplay, who made headlines for their less-than-stellar comments about the new venue earlier this month, BLACKPINK mostly had good things to say. Though she did mention that the venue was hard to get to, BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ called the stadium “beautiful” and said she was pleasantly surprised at the weather. She said the view from the stage was “like a painting,” with the clear sky above and the vast 50,000-strong crowd lit up with their signature glowing pink light sticks. (Many fans shelled out $80 or more for them at the limited-edition merch pop-up at Yorkdale mall or elsewhere.) The multigenerational audience was ear-piercingly loud, cheering, dancing and singing along — in English and Korean — for nearly the whole show.

It seemed to have put the four members of BLACKPINK in a good mood. At the end of the concert, the singers converged onstage for their encore. After a small set of songs, Jennie turned to her bandmates and suggested they play “APT.” ROSÉ had already played that Bruno Mars collab in her earlier solo set (every member got one), but Jennie wanted to play it too. “It seems fun, and I miss it every time,” she said.

So, they did it again, for the first time as a group. All four members smiled and bopped while doing the signature hand dance inspired by a Korean drinking game. At one point, the three members held up a mic to Jisoo, who didn’t know the lyrics but laughed it off. It was a rare moment of spontaneity for a stadium pop show.

Though it never topped the charts in the U.S., “APT.” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and stayed there for seven weeks, so it made sense to play it twice in Canada. But between their burgeoning solo careers and their group projects, there are plenty of BLACKPINK hits to fill a 28-song set.

The night was split up into five acts, with interstitial videos of the four girls in cowboy hats on a road trip. Three of the acts were full-group sets, complete with backup dancers and plenty of fireworks (the benefits of an outdoor venue). The other two were split between solo sets — first Jisoo and LISA, then Jennie and ROSÉ. Though they’re one of the signature current K-pop groups, they’re starting to build big profiles individually across the globe. ROSÉ is a chart-topping hit artist, Jennie played Coachella this year, Jisoo’s profile is growing, and LISA was a cast regular on the latest season of the hit HBO show The White Lotus (and she was also Billboard’s first global cover star last year).

That gave the concert a natural flow, with something to latch onto during every set. They played well off the audience too, at one point leading a lightstick wave throughout the stadium while LISA ran laps around the massive stage. Later, the screens fixated on audience members during a dance challenge to some of BLACKPINK’s biggest hits. Fans played along well — though, as Coldplay recently learned, such stunts can be risky.

The other biggest hit of the night seemed to be BLACKPINK’s “Jump,” the band’s newest single that is currently leading the Billboard Global 200. With its references to classic pop girl group forebears, the Spice Girls, and a catchy dance-along beat drop break, it’s an easy crowdpleaser. Like “APT.,” they played it twice throughout the night. But this one was planned.

Ozzy Osbourne‘s pioneering MTV reality show The Osbournes is back in the spotlight following the legendary rocker’s passing on Tuesday (July 22).

First premiered on March 5, 2002, the hit reality series ran for four seasons and documented Osbourne family’s day-to-day life through both the good, bad and ugly. You’ll meet a young Kelly rocking neon pink hair and an even youger and more gothic Jack along with Ozzy’s manager and wife Sharon.

A closer look at the life of The Osbournes.


One of the most impactful seasons is the second one, given we get a glimpse into the way the family adapted to sudden fame and Sharon’s cancer diagnosis. The season is generally revered as the show’s best, given the high ratings of around 6.6 million viewers for its premiere. Generally, there are around 10 episodes per season, save for season two, which had a whopping 21.

The concept of the reality show is comparable to The Simple Life, Flavor of Love and The Anna Nicole Show, giving fans and followers an intimate look into the lives of their heroes. The series helped pioneer the family-focused reality show, making way for hit shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, The Family Stallone and Jon & Kate Plus 8. The Osbournes was cited as the most-viewed series ever on MTV. Amazon Prime acquired reruns of the series back in 2024.

With an Amazon Prime membership, you’ll also get access to unlimited streaming of big name movies, series, documentaries and live sports. Think hit shows like Euphoria, You and Fellow Travellers, along with top films like The House That Jack Built, The Substance, Sinners and so much more. You also have access to Amazon Originals like The Boys and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and content from partners like Max and Crunchyroll through add-on subscriptions.

After over a year of waiting, Chappell Roan fans think that the singer is officially on the verge of properly releasing her live-only song “The Subway.”

In a series of photos shared on social media Wednesday (July 23), fans spotted posters hung up around New York City featuring the “Pink Pony Club” singer’s face and containing a series of cryptic clues that appear to point to something arriving next week.

On one flyer, Roan is seen sporting a wig with blunt bangs, with the text reading, “Going through a breakup? Get bangs!” Eagle-eyed fans noticed a clip also stuck in Roan’s hair, with the words “best before August 1” printed on them. While nothing on the poster specifically mentions her song “The Subway,” fans guessed that its appearance in New York seems to point to the unreleased track.

That speculation reached a fever pitch when a verified Instagram fan account shared a clip using studio-quality audio of the beloved song, while feature snippets of what appear to be a music video to go along with the track. “I made a promise, if in four months this feeling ain’t gone,” Roan sings over the clip, as a moving truck with the license plate reading “THE SBWY” barrels down a gravel road. “Well, f–k this city, I’m movin’ to Saskatchewan.”

Billboard has reached out to Roan’s representatives for confirmation.

Roan first debuted “The Subway” during her headline-making set at Governor’s Ball in 2024, and has continued to regularly perform the track live during her live performances since. This also wouldn’t be the first time Roan teased a song months before releasing it — earlier this year, the singer dropped her country anthem “The Giver” after first performing it on Saturday Night Live in November 2024.

Laneige has come at audiences with a new and unexpected collaboration that’s just too sweet to pass up.

The South Korean skincare company partnered up with Baskin Robbins to create a signature Lip Sleeping Mask inspired by the ice cream chain’s ever-iconic rainbow sherbet flavor. Retailing for $25.00, this super sweet rendition of Laneige’s viral lip masks features a marbled look that aims to mimic the appearance of ice-cold sherbet.

You’ve got pink, orange and white sections scented like raspberry, orange and pineapple, respectively. If that wasn’t cute enough, Laneige included a small bright pink spoon applicator made to replicate Baskin Robbins’ signature pink tasting spoons. You’re meant to mix each color together for the best effect. Once the mask is on, it’ll leave a subtle pink hue and a glossy sheen that’ll make your lips look and feel hydrated.

How To Shop Laneige's New Collaboration With Baskin Robbins

Laneige x Baskin Robbins Lip Sleeping Mask in Rainbow Sherbet

A lip mask inspired by Baskin Robbins’ rainbow sherbet.


While this mask is meant to be worn overnight, you can also use it daily for an extreme boost of hydration. It’s an overnight mask because the hydrating elements in the product are much thicker than a comparable lip balm you’d apply throughout the day.

Not only is this mask aesthetically pleasing, but it also works wonders for your lips. The formula is jam-packed with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil and murumuru seed butter. If that wasn’t good enough, the mask is also imbued with antioxidants derived from berries that help smooth the skin, leaving the lips looking extra supple. Finally, vitamin C acts as a sort of barrier, protecting the skin from external aggressors and directly deterring aging.

According to Laneige and based on combined global unit sales from 2024 for their Lip Sleeping Mask and Lip Glowy Balm, their lip treatment sells every second. Pretty crazy. Additionally, based on self-assessment survey portion of a 1-week clinical study on 32 women ages 25 to 35, after constant use of the product for 1 week, 93% agree that their lips feel softer and look less flaky. The proof is in the pudding … or rather, in the sherbet.

Los Angeles-based streetwear brand Pleasures has released a new Daft Punk collaborative collection featuring clothing, home goods, gaming equipment and other items sure to make fans drool.

The collection borrows some of its imagery from the duo’s 2003 film Interstella 5555, their Random Access Memories-era iconography, the video for “Da Funk” (specifically its anthropomorphic dog Charles) and more. The collection features pants, jackets, t-shirts, shorts, hats, bookends, a dartboard, soccer ball, gaming pad and more. See select items from the collection below, and see all the items here.

The collection was debuted at a pair of pop up party’s in Daft Punk’s hometown of Paris and in Los Angeles in June and July before officially going on sale last Wednesday, July 16. While many of the items are already sold out as, as Daft Punk fans have swarmed to them in typically rapid fashion, many remain available.

Founded in 2015, Pleasures is also currently selling collaborative lines with Joy Division and Slipknot.

Daft Punk memorabilia is a phenomenon among fans. When the pair announced their breakup in 2021, the secondary market for merchandise and collector’s items skyrocketed online. In the days after the February 22, 2021 announcement Billboard reported that fans were flocking to stores like eBay and Etsy, where “a sealed two-LP copy of the band’s 2013 album Random Access Memories was up to $355 [48 hours after the news], a limited-edition action-figure set was going for $406 and sellers were asking astronomical prices for rare memorabilia, like a “Get Lucky” condom for $10,000.”

Tom Conrad, Sonos’ interim CEO and president since January, has been officially named to the top job at the speaker company, it was announced Wednesday (July 23).

Conrad took over the CEO role on an interim basis in January from  Patrick Spence, who stepped down after the speaker company struggled with revenue and sales following a fraught redesign of its mobile app. Under Conrad, Sonos has launched software enhancements for the Sonos Ace and Arc Ultra and cleared the pipeline for new products, the company said.

“Since the beginning of this year, we’ve reestablished clarity, focus, and momentum at Sonos,” said Conrad in a statement. “We’ve dramatically improved our software products and recommitted to delivering the kind of premium experience our customers expect. I’m so excited to move from rebuilding to imagining the next generation of experiences.”

Conrad will remain an independent member of the Sonos board. Board chair Julius Genachowski said Conrad “earned the confidence of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders by restoring urgency” to improving the company’s customer experience.

Updates launched last year to Sonos’ technology frustrated customers who said the app didn’t recognize existing Sonos speakers and made it difficult to link new speakers. The complaints forced the company to lay off staff, lower holiday sales projections and delay product launches, with fixes projected to cost between $20 million and $30 million.

“He has a compelling vision for Sonos’ future, with strong plans to harness technology to benefit our
customers, as AI and other advances reframe the landscape and unlock new opportunities,” Genachowski said.

Conrad, 55, previously served as the chief product officer at Quibi and vp of product at Snap; he was also Pandora’s chief technology officer/executive vp of product for a time, during which he oversaw one of the earliest integrations of Pandora and Sonos. 

Sonos will host an earnings call to discuss its most recent quarterly earnings on Aug. 6.

For all of Ozzy Osbourne‘s accomplishments — helping to invent the heavy metal genre with Black Sabbath, being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, landing nine solo albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 — his storied career is also full of arrests, lawsuits, firings and bannings. Some of these are very funny (public urination), some suggest severe alcohol addiction (public drunkenness in Memphis) and some are disturbingly violent (attempting to choke his wife to death). 

Osbourne, who died Tuesday (July 22) at age 76, was infamously debauched and went through several career phases of constant inebriation. Much of this stuff was his own fault, but he also became an unwitting scapegoat for families and lawyers who wrongly blamed his songs for the tragic behaviors of teenagers. Osbourne’s wife and business manager, Sharon Osbourne, was both an indulgent partner in crime for decades and a victim herself when he brutally attacked her for no apparent reason other than that he was out of his mind on alcohol and substances. It’s funny to watch this old clip of Osbourne’s misbehavior, but as he suggested in the video itself, it’s disturbing, too.

“Most of the people that I drank with are dead. And the ones that aren’t, that still continue to drink, are going to be dead soon,” a sober Ozzy once said in an interview. “It’s not a happy ending.”

Below, check out a timeline of the Prince of Darkness’ lifelong career of committing and being accused of things.

Travis Scott is taking a victory lap after the Jackboys 2 album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week.

Jackboys 2 landed atop the all-genre albums tally (dated July 26), earning 232,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending July 17, according to Luminate. The first Jackboys compilation album debuted atop the Billboard 200 at the top of 2020.

“THIS ONE FOR THE SQUUAAAADDDD. JB2 #1 @cactusjack,” he wrote on Instagram while tagging his label Cactus Jack and Billboard‘s graphics. Scott also took a moment to shout out the album’s executive producer and Cactus Jack co-founder/head of A&R, Bilal “Bizzy” Joseph, who was featured on Billboard‘s 2024 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players list. “I let my brother bizzy Take the wheel on this one.”

Jackboys — starring Scott, Sheck Wes, Don Toliver, Chase B and Luxury Tax 50 — featured the Rosalía and Lil Baby-assisted remix of the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Highest in the Room” and other assists from Quavo, Offset, Young Thug and Pop Smoke. Nearly six years later, Jackboys 2 — which now includes SoFaygo and Cactus Jack’s newest signee Wallie the Sensei — features more collaborations with Vybz Kartel, Tyla, GloRilla, Playboi Carti, Future and more.

Six songs from Jackboys 2 debuted on the Hot 100 this week: “Kick Out” (No. 50), “Champain & Vacay” with Toliver (No. 53), “Dumbo” (No. 54), “2000 Excursion” with Wes and Toliver (No. 72), “Where Was You” with Carti and Future (No. 74) and “Shyne” with GloRilla (No. 93).

Hermes’ Oran sandal is undoubtedly the designer brand’s hottest shoe model out right now.

You’ve seen them on the likes of models, singers, actresses and even royalty, including Meghan Markle, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Katy Perry, Sofia Richie and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo. Now, a dupe is available at Steve Madden, and it’s less than half the price of the beloved designer slides. Hermes’ silhouette can run you $840 depending on the colorway and composition; Steve Madden’s Hadyn sandal costs up to $79.95, once again depending on style and composition.

The Hadyn ranges from size 5 to 12 and comes in five alternative designs and compositions from woven to mesh. There’s even a cow-printed Hadyn. In the classic models made of leather, our favorite colorways include Cognac, a neutral tan, and Black. The textural Mocha suede, a taupe-like hue, is also pretty great too.

Hadyn Sandal in Black Leather

No matter which style or composition you choose, the design is pretty much always the same. You’ve got an H-shaped motif that makes up the straps that transition into open square toes. The silhouette is backless, making it easy to slip on. Block heels standing at 0.75 inches give the wearer an ultra-subtle boost. The soles of every shoe are embossed with Steve Madden’s logo. Even down to the chunky stitching, the Steve Madden Hadyn is pretty much identical to the Hermes model.

Dupes are always tricky to navigate. While the price is attractive and the style might look borderline identical to the original, sometimes the material and quality are sacrificed in the process. Not Steve Madden’s dupe, however. Every style is made of durable, high-quality fabrics, whether it be leather or mesh. The brand’s dupe footwear models are held in high regard for this reason. They offer people looking to save money and want to tap into the designer footwear game without breaking the bank.

Amazon also carries a similar Hermes style from Rihero. It’s currently on sale for $24.37. This shoe comes in majority leather, along with one woven model and sizing ranges from 5.5 to 11. Like the Hermes and Steve Madden shoes, the price fluctuates for the Amazon sandals based on colorway and composition.

Lifestyle sandals like these are perfect for the summer. Easy to wear and style, we can see these becoming a go-to for the office and beyond. Simply throw them on with slacks and a short-sleeved blouse for those big meetings or dress them down with a breezy maxi dress or denim cut-offs for brunch with the girls. No matter how you choose to style these, one thing is certain. No one will be able to tell the designer from the dupe.
