Green Day are headed to the big screen. The veteran punk group announced on Monday (Aug. 25) that they have teamed up with good pal director Lee Kirk (Ordinary World) on a “wild road trip comedy” titled New Years Rev.

The band promised that the movie is “packed with your favorite Green Day songs” as well as “loaded with mischief.” Among the stars of the film they said is their love letter to “road trip movies, ’90s nostalgia, and chasing the dream no matter how ridiculous it gets,” are Mason Thames (The Black Phone), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), Fred Armisen (Portlandia), Jenna Fischer (The Office), Angela Kinsey (The Office), comedian Bobby Lee (Reservation Dogs) and others.

According to a description of the movie that will get its world premiere on Sept. 12 at the Toronto International Film Festival, “A garage rock trio gets the opportunity of a lifetime to open up for Green Day and hit the road across America to make the gig. The only problem is… they didn’t realize it was a prank.”

Green Day — singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool — co-produced the movie that follows the travails of punk rockers The Analog Dogs, whose greatest wish in life is to meet their heroes. After finding a way to get their demo to the trio, they get what they think is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to open for Green Day at a New Year’s Eve show, only to find out that they’ve been punk’d by one of their brothers.

“Nevertheless, naively optimistic, the young trio set off on the road from Kansas to California, with wide-eyed dreams of being on stage alongside their heroes,” read the description. The soundtrack features more than a dozen Green Day songs.

Green Day will continue their ongoing world tour on Wednesday (Aug. 27) with a gig at Lima, Peru’s San Marcos Stadium.

Saweetie brought some hard-hitting products on her 2025 Australian tour, and her makeup artist, Kayla Perez, spilled the beans on the star’s routine in a press release from ColourPop.

While we didn’t get the full look from base to lashes, we did get a few key products that help make the rapper look so good. The secret to the performer’s selfie-worthy glowy look? ColourPop’s Lippie Pencil in BFF3 and two Mini Shimmering Dry Oils in the shades Sterling Silver and Like Diamonds, two sparkling silver hues. Both products are available to shop right now on ColourPop’s website. The best part? All three products are less than $15 each. If you’re looking to update your makeup routine or you’re just a major fan of Saweetie, keep reading.

Saweetie's Australia Tour Makeup: Recreate the Look With ColourPop

ColourPop Lippie Pencil in BFF3

A creamy brown lip pencil.


Saweetie wore ColourPop’s Lippie Pencil in BFF3 every single day of her tour, and it’s easy to see why. The lip pencil currently retails for $7 and comes in a brown hue. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, ultra-pigmented and creamy with a matte finish. The pencil features a pointed tip, perfect for sculpting out your lip line. It can also be sharpened to create that perfect point every time.

The brown hue was used to contour Saweetie’s lips, giving them dimension before layering on a gloss or lipstick. Long-wearing formulas such as this are especially important for a tour, given they can withstand hours of talking, rapping and singing. If the brown shade isn’t your thing, ColourPop’s Lippie Pencil comes in 35 other shades, ranging from neutrals and vampy purples to bright orange hues. There’s a shade for just about everyone. When choosing your shade, you’ll want to consider if you’re opting for a natural look or something bolder. If you’re opting for the former, you’ll want to choose a color that is at least one shade darker than your natural lip color.

ColourPop’s Mini Shimmering Dry Oils in shades Sterling Silver and Like Diamonds gave Saweetie’s skin a shimmering glow that fans could likely see even in the nosebleeds. Sterling Silver is a part of ColourPop’s standard body oil collection, while Like Diamonds was part of a Twilight collection. Like Diamonds retails for $12, while Sterling Silver retails for $10.

Both products are formulated with a hydrating mix of coconut and argan oils, and includes silver sparkles and pigments that are suspended in the oil, giving the skin a luminous finish. The formula for Like Diamonds features added almond oils, while Sterling Silver has marula oil. There’s not much of a difference between the two. When applied to the skin, it leaves a hydrating, non-sticky feeling. If the silver hue isn’t for you, ColourPop’s Mini Shimmering Dry Oil comes in three other shades, including Pink Champagne, Rainbow Glow and Opaltini.

Saweetie embarked on her 2025 Australian tour back in July in Perth. The tour hit Brisbane, Melbourne and finally ended in Sydney on Aug. 4. The headline tour in Australia was a first for Saweetie. The trek’s setlist included some of the rapper’s top hits such as “Best Friend,” “My Type” and “Tap In.”

Just a week after “Ojos Tristes” by Selena Gomez, benny blanco and The Marías claimed the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Latin Pop Airplay chart, the song ascends to the top of the overall Latin Airplay chart dated Aug. 30. The achievement is driven by a 10% increase in audience impressions, to 9 million, earned across United States Latin radio stations during the Aug. 15-21 tracking week, according to Luminate.

In addition to its winning streak, “Ojos Tristes” notches a second consecutive week at No. 1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart. Plus, it extends its reign to 14 weeks at the summit on Hot Latin Pop Songs. The combined three-chart supremacy makes the song the first to occupy the No. 1 position across the three charts in 2025.

“Ojos Tristes” led the inaugural Hot Latin Pop Songs chart dated April 12, where it has since spent a notable 14 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. Only two other songs have interrupted its reign: Karol G’s “Milagros” (two weeks in May), and her collaboration with Marco Antonio Solís, “Coleccionando Heridas” (five weeks between July and August).

While “Ojos Tristes” triples up ruling Latin Airplay, Latin Pop Airplay and Hot Latin Pop Songs in 2025, six other songs have secured double coronations across Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay in the same week: Shakira’s “Soltera” (Jan. 4), Danny Ocean and Kapo’s “Imagínate” (April 26), Gloria Estefan’s “Raíces” (May 10), Rauw Alejandro’s “Carita Linda” (July 19), Morat and Camilo’s “Me Toca A Mí” (Aug. 2), and “Soleao” by Myke Towers and Quevedo (Aug. 9).

Further, “Ojos Tristes” delivers The Marias’ first-ever chart-topper on the overall Latin radio ranking. Meanwhile, with the three-way collab, Gomez and blanco each celebrate a third and second No. 1, respectively. Gomez returns after four years, following the success of “Baila Conmigo” with Rauw Alejandro in March 2021. For blanco, the journey to the peak is considerably quicker, whose featured turn on Myke Towers’ “Degenere” led for one week in May.

All charts (dated Aug. 30) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, Aug. 26. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

This fall, New York will welcome Migo Festival, the first-ever corridos-centric music festival in the New York Tri-State area, Billboard Español can exclusively announce.

Taking place Oct. 11 at the outdoor amphitheater of Jones Beach Theater, the inaugural fête gathers a genre-defying lineup of Mexican and Mexican-American acts, including headliners Netón Vega, Chino Pacas and rapper Alemán, as well as sierreño star DannyLux, indie-pop’s Los Aptos, cumbia-pop singer Estevie, Jasiel Nuñez and more.

“I’m excited to be bringing the first corridos music festival to the iconic Jones Beach Theater, especially since it will be most of these artists’ first time performing in New York City. I can’t wait for the Puebla York community to show the world that we are here and proud,” Migo Festival co-founder Paulina Montiel says in a statement.

With roots planted in the Puebla York community — Mexicans and Mexican descendants from the state of Puebla who call New York City home — the festival was born out of a deep love for corridos and a desire to create spaces where Latin voices and traditions could thrive in New York. Though New York’s Mexican community has often been overlooked in the larger Latin music scene dominated by Caribbean-rooted styles, Migo Fest strives to give Mexicans visibility and celebrate their contributions to the city, Montiel tells Billboard Español via Zoom.

In addition to its marquee acts, Migo Fest is spotlighting local Mexican-American artists who embody NYC’s unique cultural landscape. The Bronx’s Selines, Brooklyn’s SpliffHappy, and Queens’ Santy y Su Estilo Único will take the stage, blending traditional Mexican sounds with urban New York flavor.

In addition to the marquee acts, Migo Fest is spotlighting local Mexican-American talent emerging directly from New York’s streets. The Bronx’s Selines, Brooklyn’s SpliffHappy, and Queens’ Santy y Su Estilo Único will take the stage, representing the growing influence of the city’s next generation of Mexican artists.

The event also has a mission of giving back. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the nonprofit Migo Fund, which provides “essential resources such as financial assistance and art supplies, helping artists launch their careers or elevate their creative talents to the next level,” says the press release. Buses will be provided from three major NY train stations to Jones Beach to ensure accessibility to fans across the region.

Bratty, Delilah, Kane Rodriguez, Darriell Cano, Erre, MXKA and Somni, are also slated to perform. Tickets are available now at www.migofest.com. See the full lineup below.

Ahead of its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Sept. 6, a new trailer for 100 Nights Of Hero has been released. Starring Charli xcx in her silver screen debut alongside an ensemble cast featuring Maika Monroe, Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, Felicity Jones and Richard E. Grant, the film will receive a US cinema release on Dec. 5; a U.K. release date is yet to be announced.

Directed by Julia Jackman (Pigs, Bonus Track), the historical fantasy is based on the graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg, which in turn was inspired by the Middle Eastern folktale One Thousand and One Nights. Its synopsis reads: “When a charming house guest (Galitzine) arrives at a remote castle, the delicate dynamic between a neglectful husband, his innocent bride Cherry (Monroe), and their devoted maid Hero (Corrin), is thrown into chaos.”

The teaser trailer, which you can watch below, features a montage of the cast, with a bloody Galitzine holding up a stag’s detached head, while Charli plays a medieval stringed instrument under a weeping willow.

After being briefly featured in the Prime Video series Overcompensating earlier this year – as well as serving as executive producer on the show and its soundtrack – BRIT award-winner Charli has a number of other acting projects in the works. She will appear in Erupcja, a drama she also co-wrote, which will premiere at Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 4. On the same evening, Victim, another film starring Charli, will also be shown for the first time.

Also on the TIFF line-up is Sacrifice, an upcoming satirical action flick by Romain Gavras, which follows a celebrity charity event that is interrupted by a radical activist group. Charli joins that film in an undisclosed role. Other projects in the pipeline for the British musician include thrillers The Gallerist and I Want Your Sex, alongside The Moment, a pop star mockumentary set to come from Charli’s new production company, Studio365.

Charli headlined The Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival in June, a show which Billboard U.K. described as “a triumph of emotive pop hedonism and discomfiting intimacy”. Earlier that month, she celebrated the year anniversary of her sixth LP Brat – the record that catapulted her to global mainstream success.

ARMY will have to wait until next year to hear new music from BTS. But in the meantime, the K-pop superstar boy band’s diehards can slake their thirst by watching member V smoke the ceremonial first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game on Monday (Aug. 25).

Taking the field to screams from the Dodger faithful, V, wearing baggy, acid-washed jeans, a No. 7 Blake Snell jersey (with a custom “V” on the back) tucked into his pants and a blue Dodgers cap, leftie Taehyung took a small bow after his introduction and hurled a solid pitch down the middle to catcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto; watch a video of the pitch here.

The Dodgers posted a photo album of the special moment — calling the singer their “mVp” — featuring action shots, a snap with Yamamoto, as well as photos with No. 25 Tommy Edman, who plays on the South Korean national team in international games, and pics with pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnow, outfielder Kike Hernandez and a snap with the team’s 2024 championship trophy.

According to the Associated Press, V also gave the traditional call of “It’s time for Dodger baseball!’ in English at the game against the Cincinnati Reds before individually greeting the kids who run on the field to collect player autographs before each home game.

Even better, he got to meet and hang out with Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani and FaceTime with South Korean Dodgers rookie Kim Hye-seong, who regretted that he could not be there in person to hang with V because of a recent injury he is rehabbing. “Hello, I’m a fan,” Hey-seong told V in their chat, with the singer responding, “It’s an honor.”

“I heard you weren’t able to come because you’re hurt,” V said. “Yes that’s right,” Hey-seong confirmed. “I wanted to be there so badly.” V said it would have been “so nice” to meet the second baseman/shortstop who is nicknamed “The Comet” due to his base-running speed. While Hey-seong couldn’t make it because he’s in Oklahoma getting treatment, the men said they hope to meet up in L.A. the next time they’re both there.

Seeming a bit nervous about the first pitch, V told Hey-seong, “I’ll do my best to throw today,” saying he had really been hoping to “learn from you” about pitching, with the baller promising that he’d be happy to give him some lessons some day. “I’ll do my best tonight,” V said.

Now that all seven members of BTS have completed their mandatory South Korean military service the septet — comprised of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook — are gearing up to re-emerge after a more than three-year hiatus. RM recently told ARMY that he’s been “working diligently” on the plans for the band’s next album and tour, both set for next year.

Drake dominates the competition as the No. 1 R&B/hip-hop act on Billboard’s recap of the first 25 years of the quarter-century, ruling Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of the 21st Century chart. The retrospective is based on performance on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts from January 2000 through December 2024.

Despite a late start — he didn’t reach Billboard’s charts until 2009 Drake sprinted to the lead through a prolific schedule of album releases and an avalanche of hit songs, both on his own and with supporting roles on others’ tracks. The final tally for the 2000-24 range: 30 No. 1 hits on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and 15 No. 1s on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Not only does he own the strongest showing of the last 25 years, but he claims the top totals among all acts in the entire history of each chart (marks since extended to 31 and 16 leaders on the respective lists).

Carve the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart any way you like, odds are that Drake leads the category in that span: most No. 1s (30), top 10 hits (135) and total chart entries (355). His 15 No. 1s on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums combined for 67 weeks atop the chart and, thanks to their steady streaming counts, remain constant fixtures on the survey.

In a preview of his quarter-century coronation, Drake reigned on the annual Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artists recap for a record eight years: 2012, 2015-18, 2021-22 and 2024.

Billy Ray Cyrus knows daughter Miley Cyrus will definitely love him now that he’s turned 64 because she showed him in a song. The country singer celebrated his birthday this week with a very special gift from his daughter: an unreleased song called “Secrets” featuring two of his all-time favorite rock stars.

“For my birthday, Miley gave me the gift of music and wrote me a song called ‘Secrets’ and got my favorite musicians Fleetwood Mac to play on it! I love you Mile,” Billy Ray wrote on Instagram in a birthday post on Monday in which he wanders around in a field seemingly listening to the gentle ballad on his phone with a big smile on his face.

“Secrets, I want to keep your secrets/ Like sunlight in the shadows/ Like footsteps in the grass,” Miley sings on the track. “I won’t ever break my promise/ Like a songbird in the silence/ Like stones against the glass.” According to People, Miley previewed the song featuring Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham in June during her interview on Monica Lewinsky’s podcast, in which she talked about how writing the song helped her resolve the long-running tensions between her and her dad.

“I wrote this song about my dad because I wanted him to tell me even though there were secrets, even though I didn’t really want to know,” she told Lewinsky. “I wanted to be the one he felt safe enough to tell me the things that were damning and damaging to the family. I wanted him to think that as a middle child, I’m old enough that I could take some of that.”

That’s not the only way Billy Ray is celebrating. The singer said he’s also giving back this year by sharing a remix of his breakthrough 1990 hit, “Achy Breaky Heart.” In an Instagram post featuring throwback video from his mega-mullet days, Cyrus wrote, “From the very first time I sang ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ in the spring of ’91 to this remix today, it’s all because of YOU. I teamed up with [the song’s writer] Don Von Tress and The Johnson Mill Branch Boys on a brand-new ‘Achy Breaky Heart (Remix)’ as my gift to the fans. None of this would have been possible without the support of y’all through the years.”

“Achy Breaky Heart” hit No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Hot Country singles and tracks chart back in the day, giving Cyrus his biggest chart hit until his 2018 remix team-up with Lil Nas X on the Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Old Town Road.”

Bruno Mars has big plans to ring in 2026. The “Die With a Smile” singer added a pair of New Year’s shows to his long-running Las Vegas residency at the Dolby Live at Park MGM on Dec. 30 and 31, further extending his nearly decade-long run in Sin City. Earlier this year, Mars tacked on nine more shows in August and September.

Pre-sales for the shows at the 5,200-capacity venue kick off on Wednesday (Aug. 27) at 10 a.m. PT, followed by a Live Nation pre-sale on Thursday (Aug. 28) at 10 a.m. PT (access code RHYTHM) and a general public on-sale on Friday (Aug. 29) at 10 a.m. PT; click here for more ticketing information.

Earlier this week, Mars celebrated his 100th show at the Dolby Live — not including the 34 he headlined as part of his Silk Sonic duo act with Anderson. Paak — as part of the residency he kicked off on New Year’s eve weekend in 2016.

Mars has not released a new album of solo material since 2016’s 24K Magic, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned the Billboard Hot 100 hit “What’s What I Like.” The singer is a close second to his “Die With a Smile” duet partner Lady Gaga when it comes to nominations for the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where Mother Monster leads all nominees with 12 nods, followed by Mars at 11. Mars has two nominations for video of the year, for both “Die With a Smile” and “APT.,” his collaboration with BLACKPINK’S ROSÉ; Mars is just the fourth artist to land two video of the years bids in the same year, joining David Lee Roth (1985), U2 (1988) and Gaga (2010).

This year’s VMAs will air live coast-to-coast on Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, with a simulcast on their original home, MTV, as well as streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S.
