Madison Square Garden Entertainment reported a 74% decline in profit for its full fiscal year on Wednesday (Aug. 13), as the company struggled with fewer concerts at its iconic New York venue, the Garden, and the end of Billy Joel‘s decade-long residency.

MSG Entertainment’s reported net income, the profitability metric often called the bottom line, fell to $37.4 million for fiscal 2025 from $144.3 million in fiscal 2024, while total revenue declined 2% to $947.2 million. The company’s share price was down more than 10% at 2 p.m. ET.

Although MSG reported holding more than 975 concerts, family shows and sports events for around 6 million ticketholders across its five venues in fiscal 2025, MSG Entertainment CFO David Collins said the end of Joel’s MSG residency on July 25, 2024 — which had him playing the Garden once a month beginning in January 2014 — contributed to the year-over-year decline in concerts held at Madison Square Garden.

Including basketball and hockey games from the New York Knicks and Rangers, the Garden was in use only about 65% of the time, Collins said.

“We’re looking to get back on track for event growth in fiscal 2026,” said Collins, adding they are in “late planning stages” for a major new residency in 2026.

Breaking it down for the fourth quarter, revenue from entertainment offerings declined by 17% to $118.7 million. Fewer concerts in the quarter resulted in a $21.6 million decline in event-related revenues and contributed to an $8.3 million decline in food, beverage and merchandise revenues, which totaled $26.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter. This was partially offset by $14.2 million in operating expense savings.

Additionally, there was a $2.4 million decline in revenue related to lower suite license fees because the Knicks and Rangers played fewer games at the Garden.

Operating income for the full fiscal year 2025 rose 9% to $122.1 million despite an operating loss of $25.8 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted operating income for the full fiscal year 2025 rose 5% to $222.5 million, although the company reported a loss of $1.3 million in adjusted operating income in the fourth quarter.

In addition to Madison Square Garden, MSG Entertainment owns The Theater at Madison Square Garden and The Chicago Theatre, holds long-term leases on Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theatre, and oversees the Radio City Rockettes and their long-running holiday production, Christmas Spectacular.

Collins highlighted the Christmas Spectacular, which generated a record-high $172 million in revenue from the sale of 1.1 million tickets in fiscal 2025, as one of the company’s key levers to improve profitability in fiscal 2026. Collins said the number of tickets sold so far this year and revenue from those ticket sales are already ahead of this time last year, and the Rockettes will be performing 11 more shows this holiday season.

Concert ticket sales so far in the first fiscal quarter are tracking ahead of 2024, and 80% of available dates for booking the Garden in fiscal 2026 have been sold, Collins said. “We expect to grow the number of events at our venue this year,” he added.

Other factors that negatively impacted MSG Entertainment’s fiscal 2025 earnings included a $28 million income tax loss, compared to a $92 million income tax benefit in 2024, an $11.2 million loss on the impairment of long-lived assets and a $6 million loss on the extinguishment of debt.

The company bought back about $40 million of its stock during fiscal 2025 and can repurchase up to $70 million more in company stock.

Additional performers, presenters and event details will be announced in the weeks ahead. Tickets for the ACM Honors are available through AXS.

Just days after partying it up with Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico, Austin Butler stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (Aug. 14) to talk about his experience. 

“I’ve never been to Puerto Rico before. I fell in love with the culture. The food is insane. The water is so warm. The people are amazing, and we went to his show,” Butler — who was in town with director Darren Aronofsky to promote the upcoming Caught Stealing movie — told his host before getting into all the juicy details. 

“It’s insane — they love him. To see what he means to Puerto Rican culture, but also the actual show, how they structure it,” Butler says of Bad Bunny’s 30-day residency taking place at El Choli. “I thought we were going to be in the audience with everyone. Someone gave me an edible right before the show, and I thought it was a good idea at the time. Then it turns out we’re in a casita that’s basically the second stage … suddenly I’m on stage with Bad Bunny and the edible is working. It was wild.”

He explains that although videos of him in the casita went viral on social media, he tried to keep a low profile while enjoying the concert. 

“My brain is in two movies: I’m so proud of him and falling in love with Puerto Rican culture, and everyone is so sexy and amazing. The other part of me is like, ‘Don’t dance because you’ll take attention from him. This is his moment.’ So, my body is saying to hide, but the music is so good and in my bones at that time, that I ended up swaying my hips while crossing my arms.” 

Earlier in the interview, he talked about Bad Bunny’s character in Caught Stealing, set to hit theaters on Aug. 29.  

“I’ve seen him in Bullet Train and he was wonderful in that,” he shares. “[In Caught Stealing] he plays a Puerto Rican gangster. He’s tough, he has a red beard. He dyed his hair. He plays a guy named Colorado.”

Watch the interview below:

Christian music has a rich and vibrant history, forged over centuries and around the world. Each generation has contributed its unique voice to exalt the faith, and each musical work has inevitably been shaped by the trends of its time.

“Christian music has a unique characteristic: it’s characterized by its lyrical content, rather than a specific musical style or genre,” says Henry Alonzo, a Christian music executive and college professor, to Billboard Español. “Although Christian music has been present throughout the history of music—with classical composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, who was a musician in Protestant churches—in the Hispanic world, Christian music began with printed hymnals, sheet music, and later with choirs organized in four-part harmonies (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass).

“However,” he continues, “it wasn’t until the 1970s that it consolidated as an industry in countries like Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Colombia, and Puerto Rico with the emergence of the first artists who recorded and distributed musical projects in an emerging and professional manner.”

In this list, we explore the history of contemporary Christian music in Spanish, highlighting 30 albums that — due to their originality, their influence on church culture, or their ability to give rise to new movements — have had a significant impact on the genre.

We begin with Misa Criolla by the late Argentine songwriter Ariel Ramírez, who changed the history of Catholic music in the 1960s by paving the way for worship in Spanish and using native rhythms. We continue with La Gran Tribulación by Stanislao Marino.

“We can’t jump to the Praise and Worship movement of the 80s and 90s without going through Marino’s music, which began in the 70s and shaped the generation of my uncles and grandparents,” explains Jake Calle, who worked as a Christian radio producer for more than a decade, in an interview with Billboard.

In 1990, “the renowned and celebrated performer Marcos Witt released the Project of Projects,” Alonzo comments about the album Proyecto AA. “With remarkable quality, the lyrics reflect an update within the Christian music repertoire, aligning themselves with a more contemporary language and very relevant to their time.” Witt has left an indelible mark as one of the great exponents of the genre.

At the beginning of the 21st century, artists like Funky burst onto the scene with an urban approach, breaking the dominance of Latin pop in the Spanish-language Christian music scene at the time. “[Funky] is a key figure in the history of Christian rap in Spanish. His album Funkytown brought legitimacy and professionalism to the urban Christian music genre,” Alonzo recalls. Although it faced resistance at the time, the album became a benchmark for a new generation of artists inspired by its urban approach.

In 2005, one of the most momentous albums for both Jesús Adrián Romero’s career and the Christian genre arrived with El Aire De Tu Casa. “This album took us by surprise, since it was preceded by Te Daré Lo Mejor, which was a congregational hit, and perhaps we were expecting more of the same,” Calle recalls. “But this album was like a watershed in the career of Jesús Adrián and the church. This album brought a new acoustic, inspirational, and poetic sound with which Romero conveys, like Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night,’ the light shining in homes and outside the church, showing a God present also in everyday life. It was common to see young people from the church begin to dress like Jesús Adrián and his musicians, wearing Converse shoes and vintage t-shirts, and at the same time, many musicians traded the high energy and jumping that were experienced inside churches for a more acoustic and reflective style, sitting on a stool.”

Although the first albums have had enough time to prove their staying power, we also highlight recent projects that, due to their impact on this generation of believers, are likely to endure. Among them are Kintsugi by the band Un Corazón, winner of the 2024 Latin Grammy for Best Christian Album, and CVRBON VRMOR by Farruko, who moved his followers and the Christian world with his conversion and sealed his commitment to God with this album, reinforcing a new wave of secular artists venturing into music with faith-based lyrics.

Alonzo singles out Los Voceros de Cristo with La Venida de Jesús (1972), from Guatemala, with trio harmonies in the style of Los Panchos; Generación de Jesús with Maranatha Vol. 1 (1973), pioneering Christian rock from Mexico; Manuel Bonilla with El Rey Ya Viene (1974), an essential voice in the Christian repertoire; Nena Leal with Tu Grandeza (1986), who brought mariachi to the music of faith; and Palabra en Acción with Glorificad a Jehová (1989), also from Guatemala, which redefined live congregational worship.

Join us on this spiritual sonic journey through 30 albums that have defined the history of Christian music in Spanish, in chronological order.

One of our favorite offerings is the Tie-Back Henley Babydoll Top. The style is reminiscent of pieces worn in shows such as Pretty Little Liars, The L Word and True Blood, accompanied by the perfect pair of straight-leg skinny jeans and Converse. You’ve got three colorways to choose from, Navy Blue, Heather Gray and, our favorite, Rose.

Retailing for $24.95, the Strapless Tie Waist Babydoll Top also creates the same effect, but with a more carefree, beachier vibe.

The men’s Waffle-Lined Newport Beach Graphic Zip-Up Hoodie is also a winner in our book.

We also can’t forget to mention the very Aquamarine and Zoey 101 Button-Through Icon Shirt. An icon indeed, this plaid flannel was everywhere in the 2000s, becoming a pop-culture staple. Both the navy blue flannel and Cloud White offerings are equipped with button-up quarter-length sleeves, a collared neckline and Hollister’s ever-recognizable seagull logo fixed to the breast pocket. Both styles retail for $39.95 and would pair nicely with boot-cut jeans..

Speaking of jeans, Hollister’s High-Rise Medium Wash Flare Jeans are a blast from the past. While we’ve become accustomed to looser denim silhouettes, the 2000s were all about skin-tight, low-rise and the popular boot-cut style. The flared hem on these pants creates shape, separating them from modern silhouettes.

We can envision these jeans worn with a lacy cami and ballet flats to really lean into those 2000s vibes. You can snag these jeans on sale now for $29. The men’s Hermosa Dark Wash Relaxed Bootcut Jeans also give the same effect for just $59.95. The look is carefree and tons of fun, especially when worn with a belt chain and flip-flops.

In addition to sharing more about Life of a Showgirl — which Swift officially announced via a New Heights teaser posted at 12:12 a.m. one day prior to the episode — the 14-time Grammy winner also has much to catch fans up on that will probably come up during the chat, from the close of her global Eras Tour in December to the purchase of her masters in May.

Plus, the podcast episode will mark the first time fans get to see Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end interact. Though paparazzi photos and inaudible clips of the pair talking and hanging out have repeatedly broken the internet since they first started dating in the summer of 2023, their conversation on New Heights will be listeners’ first chance at seeing what their dynamic as a couple is really like up close.

From album news to cute Tayvis moments, the upcoming New Heights episode is anticipated to be an all-timer. Here are all the ways you can catch it below.

Radiohead are revisiting one of their most beloved albums, 2003’s electro-rock classic Hail to the Thief with a new live collection chronicling six years of performances of tracks from the Nigel Godrich-produced LP.

In an announcement on Wednesday (Aug. 13), the Thom Yorke-led group heralded the digital release of Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009, a 12-track compilation that helped the band “re-evaluate their relationship with their 6th studio album.”

“In the process of thinking of how to build arrangements for the Shakespeare Hamlet/Hail To The Thief theatre production, I asked to hear some archive live recordings of the songs,” said Yorke in a statement about the Royal Shakespeare Company’s adaptation of the classic Shakespeare play cued to orchestrations by the band’s singer that ran in Manchester in April and May and at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in June of this year.

“I was shocked by the kind of energy behind the way we played. I barely recognised us, and it helped me find a way forward,” Yorke said. “We decided to get these live recordings mixed and released (it would have been insane to keep them for ourselves). It has all been a very cathartic process. We very much hope you enjoy them.”

Available now to stream, fans can pre-order the one-off vinyl pressing in limited-edition red colorway from independent record stores or in black or cyan vinyl from the band’s online store; the vinyl is due out on Oct. 31, click here to pre-order. The album, mixed by Ben Baptie and mastered by Matt Colton, features performances recorded in Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Dublin and London between 2003 and 2009.

Hail to the Thief debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart in June 2003 following a disruptive internet leak of the unfinished recordings two months before its initial release.

Check out the track list for Hail to the Thief Live Recordings 2003-2009 and a live 2009 performance video of “There, There” from Buenos Aires below.

Adams added, “I’ve always believed that songs and songwriters are the soul of our business, which is why I’ve been a longtime admirer of what Ben Vaughn and the Warner Chappell team have built. I’m deeply honored to be entrusted with leading the next chapter. Together, we’ll champion storytelling, protect creativity, and help songwriters share their visions in bold and impactful ways. Thank you to Guy and Carianne for their trust in me, and to everyone at Big Loud – especially Seth, Craig and Joey for their faith and support these last six years.”
