The release of Wicked: For Good is just a few more months away. What better way to prep for the highly anticipated sequel than to go toy shopping?

Following the box office success that was Wicked, Wicked: For Good will hit theaters Nov. 21, 2025, just one day shy of the one-year anniversary of the film’s first half. The sequel was first announced on X back in April from director Jon M. Chu’s “OzPhone.” The filmmaker wrote, “With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys of these beloved characters.”

Following the cheeky post, fans and followers of the franchise were treated to a trailer on June 4, sharing first looks at Glinda and Elphaba’s journeys following the very dramatic “Defying Gravity” sequence and a hefty cliffhanger folks were left with in part one.

To prep for the film’s arrival, Mattel dropped a Wicked: For Good collection chock-full of figures and playsets inspired by the cast of the film and beyond, with hints at Dorthy from The Wizard of Oz. You can preorder most, if not all, of the collection on Walmart or Target with prices ranging from $14.99 to $43.19. Whether you’re a fan of Wicked or just looking for a good time, we’re showing you how to shop the best pieces from the collection.

American fans will finally get to see Lil Tecca on the road. The New York rapper revealed on Instagram that starting in September he’ll be embarking on the North American leg of his latest tour.

The outing, titled “Dopamine: The Experience,” will kick off its North American dates on September 24 in Boston before heading through other major cities including Philadelphia, New York, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Dallas and more. The trek is slated to wrap on Nov. 7 in Montreal. The European leg of the tour started on Monday (July 21), with Tecca’s next stop being Glasgow, UK at the Barrowland Ballroom on Wednesday (July 23).

Tickets for the U.S. dates will go up with an artist presale on Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, followed by a general on-sale on Friday (July 25) at 10 a.m local time. The latest dates come after Tecca’s most recent album, Dopamine, scored the No. 3 spot on the Billboard 200 its first week. The album features smash hit “Dark Thoughts,” which just notched its 17th consecutive week on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

In an interview with Billboard, Tecca talked about how he changed creative direction for Dopamine, and that the direction was heavily inspired by his fascination with the human brain.

“We were making music from the point when Plan A was finished, but we didn’t have the name Dopamine probably until, I’d say six months ago,” Tecca said in June. “That’s really when the umbrella was formed. I’ve always just been interested in the brain and how it works and why it works and when I stumbled upon dopamine that was where my interest peaked, honestly. With music being one of my forms of pleasure, calling it Dopamine was kind of my way of packaging all of that up into one body of work. So the process was really smooth. It was really authentic to all of us that were working on it. I think this was the fastest we got the album done.”

Alan Walker will headline Sphere Las Vegas on Sept. 20 as part of Insomniac and Tomorrowland’s collaborative show, UNITY.

With the announcement, the Norwegian producer joins the list of previously announced UNITY headliners that includes DJ Snake, who will play the venue on Friday, Sept. 19, along with Chase & StatusKaskade and Eli Brown, who will play Sphere on Aug. 29, 30 and 31, respectively, during UNITY’s opening weekend.

The show will also happen Sept. 26 and 27, then Oct. 17 and 18, with headliners for these events yet to be announced. UNITY is the first ever collaborative project from Insomniac and Tomorrowland, two of the world’s biggest dance event producers.

According to Tomorrowland’s longtime spokeswoman Debby Wilmsen, UNITY has roots in the pandemic, when Tomorrowland launched the digital festivals that “really helped us to develop our content on a more high end cinematic level, but also technically we learned how to push things to the limit.” When Sphere opened in September 2023, the company saw that the technologically-advanced venue could be a place to “showcase everything we learned in the previous years, create an amazing show and take people into our magical words guided by a fantastic soundtrack.”

Similarly, Insomniac Events founder Pasquale Rotella says it was “absolutely” a desire for the company to do a show at Sphere, particularly given the company’s deep relationship with the city. “Las Vegas has been our home since we brought EDC here in 2011, and the city has shaped what Insomniac is today,” Rotella says. “From the moment Sphere was announced, we recognized the incredible potential it held to redefine how dance music lives and evolves within that environment.”

While Insomniac and Tomorrowland are both global leaders of live production and festival world-building, they’d never formally worked collaborated. However, their fates crossed when Tomorrowland organizers got approval to do a show in Sphere and learned the Insomniac team was also working out its own Sphere run. “As we’ve known and respected each other for many years, we reached out to each other to discuss,” says Wilmsen, “and in one super positive call we decided our next steps.”

While Wilmsen acknowledges that “in many cases this would have been a conversation with two competitors that don’t want to do this [together], it was the total opposite. Very quickly Pasquale and I thought it was a much better and more beautiful idea to join forces and see this as a [greater than the sum of its parts] one plus one equals three situation.”

“We’ve always had a deep, mutual respect for one another,” Rotella continues of Insomniac and Tomorrowland. “Though we’ve built our worlds on opposite sides of the globe, at our core, we share the same mission of creating unforgettable experiences fueled by a passion for dance music. While either of us could have launched something at Sphere independently, this collaboration is about more than that. By combining our unique strengths, styles, and audiences, we’re able to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience that reflects the global spirit of this culture we all love.”

UNITY has been in development for a year, with Wilmsen saying that the teams of the two companies got to know each other much better than before and “learned how to work together, how to respect each others creative choices, do weekly calls and work together intensively” during the process. “We are creating the most amazing show together, where both brands keep their identity in UNITY.”

They did have a singular example to take inspiration from in Anyma’s Sphere residency, which made the producer the first electronic artist to ever headline the venue during a residency that happened in late 2024 and early 2025. Rotella calls this run “an incredible example of what’s possible when dance music is paired with Sphere’s technology.”

He says a key difference, however, is that in addition to the rotating headliners — Walker, Chase & Status, Kaskade, DJ Snake and Eli Brown, with more to come — “we are looking to create a fully immersive experience that brings performers out into the crowd and takes the audience on a narrative journey.”

As such, Rotella says UNITY will blend “familiar characters and themes from both Insomniac and Tomorrowland, reimagined specifically for this space.” He says the show will also “evolve how electronic music is experienced” with the addition of orchestral elements.

Wilmsen adds that “the show really feels like the level of a high-end fantasy movie accompanied by the best electronic soundtrack. The combination will be something people have experienced before, but will blow them away in a positive way.” She adds that Tomorrowland’s in-house team created all of the show’s 3-D environments, while Belgian virtual production company Prismax did the animation. “I have to be honest that even I’m surprised that we were able to bring the content to this very high level,” says Wilmsen.

UNITY is an 18+ show, and in terms of the target audience, Rotella says it’s “truly for everyone. It’s for longtime dance music fans who’ve been part of the culture for years, newer fans discovering it and even those curious to experience something different at Sphere. It also opens the door for younger fans who are excited about nightlife but not yet 21. In a city like Las Vegas, where much of the nightlife is age-restricted, this offers a unique nightlife-like experience for them to be part of.”

Abracadabra! For her latest trick, Lady Gaga demonstrated for fans how to recover like a pro after a stumble, jumping right back up after slipping and falling in the middle of a Mayhem Ball concert in Las Vegas over the weekend.

As captured in videos from the performance, Gaga temporarily lost her balance while walking in the alleyway between her stage and the fans gathered on the floor of T-Mobile Arena. Just seconds prior, a cameraman filming her appeared to trip as well, and the Grammy winner helped him adjust the aim of his lens before continuing to walk.

Moments later, however, Gaga — wearing a hooded cloak while performing “Vanish Into You” — also dropped to the floor of the venue. But before you could blink, she jumped right back up to her feet and continued moving toward the Little Monsters waiting for her at the pit barricade.

Aside from the singer’s small slip, the Mayhem Ball tour has kicked off without a hitch. Gaga opened the trek July 16 in Vegas, playing a total of three shows at T-Mobile Arena. She’ll next make stops in San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and New York City.

The tour comes in support of Gaga’s critically acclaimed 2024 album, Mayhem, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The project was her seventh to reach the chart’s summit over the course of her career.

And though mid-show snafus are hardly ideal, Gaga is in good company when it comes to people who have taken a tumble in concert. Last year, Olivia Rodrigo kept plugging away after falling through a hole in her stage, while Madonna laughed it off after one of her dancers dropped her during a show. More recently, Beyoncé played it cool when her flying car prop stopped working during a Cowboy Carter stop in Houston, and Katy Perry persevered when her own levitating set piece malfunctioned in the middle of a number.

Multi-platinum singer Ciara sits down with her daughter Sienna to discuss the release of her new album ‘CiCi,’ the features she’s most excited about and whether she would do a song with husband Russell Wilson.

Are you excited for Ciara’s new album? Let us know in the comments!

Sienna: Hi, I’m Sienna. Today I’m interviewing my mom, Ciara for Billboard Family.

Ciara: I’m so happy to be doing this with you, because this is Big CiCi and Little CiCi, right? And we always have the best times together.

Sienna: You’re releasing a new album. When did you start working on this new music? 

Ciara: I actually started working on this, like, in the middle of the pandemic, so it’s been a long time. You know, back in the COVID days, remember we were, like, in the house and like-

Sienna: You were still working on it? 

Ciara: I was. 

Sienna: Since COVID?

Ciara: Uh huh, it’s been a long time coming with this project, so I like to say it’s a labor of love because I put a lot of time into it. 

Sienna: So like, how many songs are in your album?

Ciara: There are 14 songs.

Sienna: And it took you that long for just 14? I thought there would be like 300 then.

Ciara: Well, because this is what happened. So when I was making this project, I started then, but then over time, more songs came in. And then over time, I also put some of the songs out. So, you know, mommy’s song, “How We Roll?”

Sienna: Oh, yeah, “That’s just how we roll.”

Ciara: So there were songs like that, and that song, like we know, is now gold. So there were songs like that, but I wanted to make this project as a gift to my fans.

Caitlin Clark got to spend some quality time with Taylor Swift earlier this year, when fans spotte the pair chatting at an AFC playoff game in January. But what exactly were they talking about?

Related

On an episode of the A Touch More podcast posted onMonday (July 21), the WNBA superstar revealed just that. When hosts Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe pulled up a photo of the 14-time Grammy winner and Clark whispering together in their box suite at the Jan. 18 Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans match-up — playfully demanding that the Indiana Fever athlete divulge what they had been talking about — Clark shared that she had simply been “explaining” some football rules to Swift.

“Honestly, I love football, and I know a lot about football,” Clark began. “So I was, like, telling her why they threw a flag. In the best way, she doesn’t know a lot about [football] — I don’t even know everything, so I was just explaining things.”

“But yeah, that was really fun,” the point guard added. “I’m a big Chiefs fan, so getting to spend time with Taylor, and then also Travis [Kelce] played really well that game.”

Though Swift may not have entered the NFL world with much football knowledge, she’s certainly learned a lot from attending boyfriend Travis Kelce’s games ever since they started dating in 2023. Both the tight end and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes have previously said that the performer has taken to drawing up her own plays, though Kelce admits that she’s “a little biased” and often centers them around him.

Swift and Clark’s gameday hangout had been a long time coming, with the pop star inviting the basketball player to accompany her on a Chiefs outing way back in November. In addition to several bags of Eras Tour merch, Clark says Swift also wrote a personalized note saying that she and “Trav” were hoping to attend one of her Fever games.

A couple of weeks prior to the Chiefs vs. Texans game, Clark gushed about the musician on Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast. “It’s just a great show and a lot of fun,” she said of her Eras experience in Indianapolis. “My mom was begging me to take her. She’s like, ‘I gotta go, like, everybody’s talking about it.’ I’m like, ‘OK, OK’ … Full Swiftie, turned my mom into a full Swiftie now. Good time, good time.”

See Clark’s full appearance on the A Touch More pod below.

The price tag behind the government’s sale of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album has been revealed. According to Bloomberg, the Department of Justice sold the one-of-one Wu-Tang artifact for $2.23 million to WTC Endeavours Limited, a Hong Kong-based company, in 2018.

For those who don’t recall the knotty history of Once Upon a Time, “Pharmabro” Martin Shkreli purchased the only copy of the 31-track album in a 2015 auction from Wu-Tang Clan for about $2 million. Later in the year, Shkreli was charged with securities fraud and convicted in 2017. In addition to his seven-year prison sentence, Shkreli also had to forfeit $7.4 million in assets.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in New York announced in 2021 that the federal government had sold the album to “satisfy the outstanding balance” owed by Shkreli, but the price tag was kept a secret until earlier in July.

PleasrDAO, a crypto collective, is the current owner of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin after purchasing the album through an intermediary. The New York Times reported in 2021 that PleasrDAO paid an “equivalent of $4 million in a cryptocurrency tied to the dollar” for rights to the elusive project.

Last year, PleasrDAO turned the album into an NFT, which allows the public to donate $1 and hear five minutes from Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. While the album can’t go to public consumption until 2103 (private listening parties are okay), each $1 purchase takes 88 seconds off the countdown.

Billboard has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment.

“I’m a singer who acts,” Jennifer Love Hewitt told Billboard in 2002. “It’s my spirit. I feel alive when I do it. I love acting, but it came unexpected in my life. Singing has always been a part of me.”

Before she came to fame largely via a starring role in Fox’s Party of Five beginning in 1995, Hewitt had already hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — as a backing vocalist on Martika’s “Toy Soldiers.” The song topped the chart for two weeks in July 1989. Fergie also sang on the ballad, with all three having been in the cast of the Disney Channel’s Kids Incorporated.

Meanwhile, Hewitt released her first two albums, Love Songs, in 1992, and her self-titled set in 1996. (The former includes a Debbie Gibson co-write and a cover of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen.”)

It was the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise — newly rebooted, with Hewitt — however, that not only provided her breakout film role, but also her first Billboard chart success under her own name.

The first of the three theatrical slasher movies, the 1997 original I Know What You Did Last Summer, has grossed a reported $73 million. While it introduced Hewitt’s Julie James, starring alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Ryan Phillippe, its soundtrack served up meaty ‘90s rock, from acts including Korn, Soul Asylum and Toad the Wet Sprocket.

In 1998, sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer was released, along with its soundtrack — headlined by Hewitt’s single, “How Do I Deal.” The song marked her Billboard chart debut, entering the Pop Airplay chart dated Jan. 23, 1999. It went on to peak at No. 36 two weeks later, when it also became her first Hot 100 hit (“Toy Soldiers” excepted).

The film co-starred Brandy — whose “Have You Ever” spent its second week atop the Hot 100 the week that Hewitt made her chart arrival. The song became Brandy’s second leader, after “The Boy Is Mine,” with Monica, reigned for 13 weeks in 1998, on its way to another summer-related achievement, winning top song of the summer honors that year.

(In other musical endeavors in that era, Hewitt starred in the video for LFO’s “Girl on TV,” which rose to No. 10 on the Hot 100 in 1999. In 2001, she also starred in the clip for Enrique Iglesias’ “Hero,” an enduring No. 3 hit.)

In 2002, Hewitt charted her first album, as Barenaked hit No. 37 on the Billboard 200 that October. Its title track, with Hewitt and Meredith Brooks (who hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 1997 with her pop-rock classic, “Bitch”) among its co-writers, reached No. 31 on Adult Pop Airplay and No. 35 on Pop Airplay. The LP has sold 101,000 in the United States to date, according to Luminate.

In a July 6, 2002, Billboard review of “Barenaked,” Chuck Taylor called the song “a natural fit for the radio class of 2002, with its acoustic, guitar-etched backdrop, catchy melody and savvy production.” He also praised its lyrics as “smart, colorful commentary on staying above water when life trips you up.”

Plus, Taylor shouted out “How Do I Deal” as “a hidden treasure.”

Hewitt co-wrote all but four songs on Barenaked. She told Billboard for an interview that ran in the Aug. 17, 2002, issue, “Most people don’t know I’ve been in music for a long time. I feel as though I have been searching for 14 years to find this record. It’s very organic. It would have gone a lot easier and faster had I made a strict pop album with someone else writing all the music and lyrics. But I wanted to challenge myself.”

(Hewitt also called Brooks “someone I could pour my heart out to. I found a kindred spirit with her, somebody that I could completely relate to, someone that shared every good and bad day I had.”)

The album was released on Jive Records, and Hewitt made promotional rounds, including at radio, like any other eager artist. “Initially, I would have said our biggest marketing asset was Jennifer’s positioning as an actress and movie star,” the label’s then-vp of pop promotion, Joe Riccitelli, said. “Now, it’s just Jennifer being Jennifer. Every place we went, every person we met saw her in a new light, and they liked what they saw.”

Meanwhile, long after I Know What You Did Last Summer first hooked moviegoers, the title again contributed to Billboard’s charts, even if not directly related to any of the franchise’s films — in 2016, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s duet by that name hit No. 10 on Pop Airplay and No. 20 on the Hot 100.

Hewitt, who has been starring in Fox’s 9-1-1 since 2018, is celebrating the legacy of I Know What You Did Last Summer, telling Variety in an interview published this week that the new film, which premiered Friday (July 18), “is showing young girls out there that we get older and you can’t count us out. If you’ve got a ‘fighter spirit’ … plus the ability to fight and run in heels or high-heeled boots … there’s room for everyone.

“Where other parts of society try to go, ‘Oh, well, she’s gotten a little older, so we’ll just go get this person now,’ ‘final girls’ are ageless,” Hewitt mused. “It’s a good message to send: We do get better.”

Prince‘s 1987 live film Sign O’ the Times is returning to the big screen. The biggest screen. IMAX, Mercury Studios and FilmRise announced on Monday morning (July 22) that the late rock icon’s beloved companion movie to the album of the same name will be released in IMAX theaters globally for one week only beginning on Aug. 29.

The movie, directed, scored by and starring Prince features the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer surrounded by what was then his new backing band after he’d fired his longtime group the Revolution before the release of his ninth studio album. In addition to Prince and his close musical confidants Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, as well as percussionist Sheila E., Revolution keyboardist Dr. Fink and drummer Bobby Z. appear in the movie, along with singer and Prince collaborator Sheena Easton.

The movie is a mix of live footage and scripted scenes that has been spruced up for its IMAX run, with a release promising that, “enhanced with IMAX’s precision surround sound audio, customized theatre geometry, and crystal-clear images, Prince’s virtuoso performance is set to mesmerize fans old and new in the most epic format available.”

The film features runs through some of Prince’s beloved singles from the album — which was critically acclaimed but, compared to his previous three classic LPs, a relative sales disappointment —  including the Hot 100-charting title track (#3), the Easton collab “U Got the Look” (#2), “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man” (#10) and “If I Was Your Girlfriend” (#67).

Those songs all appear in the film, along with a mash-up of “Little Red Corvette” and the LP’s “Housequake,” as well as “Play in the Sunshine,” “Slow Love,” “Hot Thing,” “Forever in My Life,” “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night” and “The Cross,” and a band cover of Charlie Parker’s “Now’s the Time.”

IMAX will distribute the movie in the U.S., with Pathé handling distribution in other territories worldwide. Click here for a complete list of where the PG-13 film will be playing near you. There will also be information forthcoming on private screenings and other invite-only events in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis in August.
