Backstreet’s Back, all right? The boy band make an audio cameo in the new trailer for PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie with their bubbly new single, “Bottle Up.” The first look at the courageous puppy heroes from the animated Nickelodeon series who set off on a new adventure on a dino-packed island in the film comes in about halfway through the minute-long preview that dropped Monday morning (March 30).

After the puppies crash land on the uncharted island, they suit up for their latest escapade and go from being terrified of the prehistoric inhabitants to getting super psyched about the blast from the Jurassic past. “Take this moment/ Bottle up this feeling,” the BSB sing in the trailer as the pups set out on a plan to save the island. After a chorus of “whoo hoo hoo”‘s, fans get one more quick listen to the “bottle up this feeling” refrain on the percussion-heavy song.

Based on the wildly popular children’s series, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie will hit screens on August 14 and feature the voices of Snoop Dogg, Mckenna Grace, Terry Crews, Jennifer Hudson, Fortune Feimster, Majeela Jamil, Paris Hilton, Billy Nye and others. According to a synopsis, “after their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the Paw Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the Paw Patrol’s archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The Paw Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they’ve done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.”

The soundtrack tune is the first new song from the BSB since the release of their most recent studio album, 2019’s DNA, which featured the singles “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” and “Chances.” Last year they dropped the one-off single “Hey” from the Millennium 2.0 album in the lead -up to their debut at Las Vegas’ Sphere for their ongoing Into the Millennium residency.

The Universal Music Group announced on Monday (March 30) that it will be implementing a share buyback program to repurchase the company’s own stock for an aggregate amount of 500 million euros ($574 million), which will be executed by an independent broker.

“Since our transition to a public company, we have consistently delivered sustained growth, strong financial results and strategic leadership, establishing a robust foundation for long-term value creation,” UMG CFO Matt Ellis said in a statement. “We currently see a meaningful dislocation in UMG’s market valuation. Our strong balance sheet and cash generation gives us the flexibility to repurchase shares, while preserving ample capacity to invest in our growth strategy, and reconfirming our commitment to maintaining our credit ratings and our divided policy.”

The buyback program will be executed within the existing authorization of the Board of Directors to repurchase the company’s own shares at the UMG Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 14. UMG is publicly traded on the Euronext exchange in Amsterdam.

The company announced it intends to repurchase shares to meet its obligations under the 2022 Music Group Global Equity Plan, with the maximum number of shares used for purposes of the equity plan remaining unchanged.

Earlier this month, UMG reported that its 2025 revenue and earnings (before interest, tax, depreciation and appreciation) grew by 9%. Virgin Music (under UMG) also announced the completion of its acquisition of Downtown Music in February in a deal worth $775 million following a European body review. The board also shared they were shelving plans for a dual U.S. stock market listing.

In March 2025, hedge fund Pershing Square Holdings announced it was selling 50 million shares of its UMG holdings, valued up to $1.5 billion.

Nick Cannon and model Amber Rose recently bonded over their lives in the public eye and their mutual support for the MAGA agenda. In a chat on Cannon’s Big Drive podcast on Friday (March 27), the pair went for a spin in a beach cruiser as Cannon asked Rose about her support for President Donald Trump — Rose spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention — and Cannon noted that he used to have former President Barack Obama’s BlackBerry number, but is now firmly on Team Trump.

Asking Rose if there might be a position for her in Trump’s administration, Cannon noted that the OnlyFans model “100%” has the president’s ear. After Rose, once best known for hosting her empowering Slut Walk protests, expressed her opinion that “left-wing liberal” feminism “took us back,” she shared her opinion that “it’s not illegal to be racist” and that she is a “former liberal, former Democrat.” Cannon backed her up and added that people “change their views and opinions” sometimes.

Earlier in the chat, he appeared to confirm that his views have also changed, after he asked Rose if she switched parties because “the bag has got so intense” and her earnings so heavy that she became part of the “elite.” Rose said no, opining, “Democrats don’t care about Black people and they don’t care about people of color,” as Cannon laughed at what Rose dubbed the “misconception” about the GOP.

“I agree with you 100%,” said multi-hyphenate Cannon, who is a recording artist, radio DJ who and host of The Masked Singer. “People don’t know that the Democrats is the party of the KKK. People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves.” According to Politifact, the racist Ku Klux Klan group attracted many ex-Confederate soldiers after the Civil War, as well as Southerners who opposed Reconstruction, most of whom were Democrats, but the claim that the Democratic Party started the Civil War to preserve slavery and founded the KKK is false. The Republican Party was founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists and in 1863 Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all the slaves living in Confederate states.

Cannon noted that both he and Rose have “some conservative views,” but that she is just more outspoken than him.

Cannon also said that he actually doesn’t support either major party and that his political North Star is the late historian and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois, whose famous quote about the American political system he paraphrased, “there’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.”

Rose said she voted for Trump because he was “the better option,” describing how she agrees with a lot of the former reality TV star’s policies in his second administration, with Cannon enthusiastically adding, “motherf–ker cleanin’ house! He’s doing what he said he was gonna do!… I f–k with Trump!”

It’s not the first time Cannon has taken a controversial stance. Back in 2020, he was fired by ViacomCBS for statements on his Cannon’s Class podcast that were deemed racist and antisemitic during a conversation with former Public Enemy “Minister of Information” Professor Griff. In the interview, Griff doubled down on his past condemnation of Jewish people and Cannon repeated hateful tropes about alleged Jewish control of the media and banking, comments he later apologized for.

Watch Cannon and Rose discuss their support for MAGA below.

Becky G, Joy and Julieta Venegas will be honored at the fourth annual Billboard Latin Women in Music special, Billboard and Telemundo announced on Monday (March 30). The program will air live exclusively on Telemundo on April 24 at 9 p.m. ET.

Once again, the two-hour musical special will pay tribute to “Latin female artists who are driving meaningful change and championing inclusion across the music industry,” according to a press release. It will also stream on Peacock and the Telemundo app.

Among the first group of honorees announced, Becky G will receive the Global Impact award for her ability to connect with audiences worldwide. With more than a decade career, the Mexican-American singer has gone from being a breakout teen artist into an international star, with Billboard chart-toppers including “MAMIII” with Karol G — which spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs in 2022 — and Latin Airplay No. 1s including “Mayores” with Bad Bunny, “Sin Pijama” with Natti Natasha, and more. And her influence extends beyond music, as she proudly represents her roots as an actress and entrepreneur.

“A passionate advocate for Latino representation, immigrant communities, women’s empowerment and mental health awareness, she leads with authenticity and purpose,” Billboard and Telemundo stated in their release. “Through every endeavor, she continues to elevate Latin culture on a global stage while inspiring the next generation.”

Meanwhile, Joy — the lead vocalist of the popular Latin pop duo Jesse & Joy — will be honored with the Spirit of Change award, which recognizes artists who use their platform to drive meaningful impact within music and beyond. For more than two decades, the singer and songwriter has consistently used her voice to advocate for immigrant rights, LGBTQ+ equality, women’s empowerment, the fight against gender-based violence, and animal welfare.

On the Billboard charts, she has achieved two top 10s on Latin Airplay as part of Jesse & Joy, including the No. 1 hit “¡Corre!”. Last year, her Broadway debut as a co-writer of the songs for the musical Real Women Have Curves earned her a Tony Award nomination for best original score. “Through her music, her activism and her unwavering commitment to inclusion and justice, Joy continues to inspire change, embodying the true spirit of an artist who understands the power of her influence to shape a better world,” reads the statement.

Rounding out the list of honorees in this initial announcement, Julieta Venegas will receive the Artistic Excellence award, recognizing an artist whose work is defined by exceptional craftsmanship, consistency, and a distinct creative identity. With over three decades in music, the Mexican singer-songwriter has defined the sound of Latin alternative pop through deeply personal songwriting, poetic lyricism, and her distinctive talent as a multi-instrumentalist, particularly on the accordion and piano.

On Billboard charts, she has achieved multiple entries on Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums, including standout hits like Limón y Sal, which earned her her first top 10 on Top Latin Albums, as well as iconic tracks like “Me Voy” and “Andar Conmigo.” In 2023, her latest album Tu Historia won the Latin Grammy for best pop vocal album. She is currently leading Mexican radio with “Tengo Que Contarte” alongside Natalia Lafourcade.

“Beyond commercial success, she has expanded the role of the female singer-songwriter in Latin music, maintaining creative control as a composer, producer, and instrumentalist while redefining what sustained mainstream success can look like without compromising authenticity,” notes the press release. “Her timeless catalog has transcended trends, resonated across generations and borders, and left an enduring cultural imprint, embodying true artistic excellence.”

More honorees, as well as presenters and performers, will be announced.

Billboard Latin Women in Music is the only annual televised gala celebrating Latin women artists who are driving positive changes and fostering greater inclusion in the music industry. Now in its fourth successful year, it has established itself as a powerful platform where the most prominent artists in Latin music come together for an extraordinary night of music and camaraderie.

Last year, honorees included Anitta (Vanguard award), Belinda (Evolution award), Celia Cruz (Legend), Chiquis (Impact award), Ha*Ash (Unbreakable award), Natti Natasha (Unstoppable Artist), Olga Tañón (Lifetime Achievement) and Selena Gomez (Woman of the Year). Previous years’ honorees include Gloria Estefan, Thalia, Shakira and more.

Benson Boone is just two weeks out from wrapping his American Heart tour in England, so naturally on Sunday (March 29) he announced the dates for his upcoming summer 2026 Wanted Man summer tour.
