Ashanti revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 just hours before her Verzuz battle against Keyshia Cole.

The pair were set to face off Saturday night (Dec. 12). Ashanti, who says she’s feeling well, first indicated that she was trying to make her side of the event happen from home, but the official Verzuz Instagram account announced a postponement soon after.

“Hey y’all I can’t believe I’m saying this but I tested positive for COVID-19. I’m ok and not in any pain. I’m actually down to do the verzuz from my house… we’re tring to figure it all out!!!” wrote Ashanti in a note on Instagram shortly after 6 p.m. ET.

Around 6:45 p.m. ET, the Verzuz account posted an update: “Unfortunately, we have to postpone tonight’s @Ashanti vs @KeyshiaCole #VERZUZ. Ashanti tested positive for COVID-19 beforehand, and we cannot put anyone at risk in the process. First time this has struck us so close to showtime. We apologize to our incredible audience! Get well soon, Ashanti. Wear a mask, stay inside, and take COVID-19 seriously. It’s truly affecting our community.”

The battle was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on the Verzuz Instagram page and on Apple Music.

It has been rescheduled for Jan. 9, 2021 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

“Yeah, it’s official! The paperwork is IN,” the official Verzuz Instagram had said when announcing the “legendary Ladies Night” with a split image of the R&B singers’ faces earlier in December. “Which Libra you got?!”

Charley Pride became country music’s first African-American commercial star in the 1960s and went on to earn 29 No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart in his pioneering career.

He died Dec. 12 in Dallas at age 86 from complications due to COVID-19.

Pride, who received the 2020 Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 54th annual CMA Awards Nov. 11, turned in his final live performance on the ABC-TV broadcast, a duet version of his biggest hit, 1971’s “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’,” with Jimmie Allen.

Pride, who hailed from Sledge, Miss., played professional baseball before committing to a career in country music and signed to RCA Records in September 1965. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1993 and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000.

Pride leaves a bounty of hits of legendary status. Between 1967 and 1988, he posted 29 No. 1s among 52 top 10s on Hot Country Songs. He also notched 12 No. 1s among 27 top 10s on Top Country Albums.

Here is a recap of Pride’s 40 biggest hits on Hot Country Songs.

Charley Pride’s Biggest Billboard Hits recap is based on actual performance on the weekly Hot Country Songs chart. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.

Blue Ivy Carter has become one of the youngest Grammy nominees in history. The 8-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z was added to the nominations for best music video for “Brown Skin Girl” on Friday (Dec. 11). She was not listed when the nominations were announced on Nov. 23, but it’s not uncommon for adjustments to be made in the weeks following the announcements.

Blue Ivy will turn 9 on Jan. 7 — 24 days before the 63rd annual Grammy Awards. The talented youngster won a Soul Train Award for video of the year on Nov. 29 along with Beyoncé, Saint JHN and WizKid for “Brown Skin Girl.”

Leah Peasall of The Peasall Sisters is the youngest-ever Grammy nominee (and winner) as one of the credited artists on the O Brother, Where Art Thou?  soundtrack, which was the 2001 winner for album of the year. Leah was just 8 at the time. Leah and her sisters Hannah, 11, and Sarah, 14, provided the singing voices for “the Wharvey Girls,” the daughters of the character played by George Clooney. They sang “In the Highways” and “Angel Band.”

Deleon Richards is the youngest performer to receive an individual nomination; she was nominated at 8 1/2 years old for a 1985 award for best soul/gospel performance, female for her album Deleon.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé, of course, are Grammy royalty. Jay-Z this year tied Quincy Jones as the most-nominated person in Grammy history, with 80 nods. Beyoncé this year tied Paul McCartney as the runner-up, with 79 nods.

The Recording Academy confirmed Blue Ivy’s nomination by quoting Grammy rules that “in order for a featured artist to be recognized as a nominee, 1) the artist must be credited and recognized as a featured artist; and 2) there must be significant performance and artistic contribution by the featured artist beyond what might be considered merely accompaniment.” In the Academy’s view, she meets those tests.

The other nominees for best music video are Future featuring Drake’s “Life Is Good,” Anderson .Paak’s “Lockdown,” Harry Styles’ “Adore You” and Woodkid’s “Goliath.”

On the sixth anniversary of his third album 2014 Forest Hills DriveJ. Cole delivered a gift to his fans: the music video for “Fire Squad.”

In the BBGUN-directed visual, which was shot in Kingston, Jamaica, a little girl faces off in an intense chess game with an elderly opponent and cautions him of any man who crowns himself a king “because deep down, he clings to the need for power.” But Cole (real name Jermaine Lamarr Cole) doesn’t cling to said power; he owns it fearlessly. “We all kings/ Kings of ourselves first and foremost/ While the people debate who’s the king of this rap game/ Here comes lil’ ol’ Jermaine,” he raps in the outro.

His Dreamville Records announced on Twitter that it’s re-uploading many of the North Carolina MC’s old music videos after they were previously deleted. “And because it’s the anniversary #FHD here’s the world premiere of the never before released video for ‘Fire Squad,’” Dreamville’s official account wrote.

The “Fire Squad” video joins the official music videos for “Simba,” “Lights Please,” “Lost Ones,” “Work Out,” “Who Dat,” “Can’t Get Enough” featuring Trey Songz, “Nobody’s Perfect” featuring Missy Elliott, and “Sideline Story” on Cole’s YouTube account.

His 2014 Forest Hills Drive album went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in December 2014, spending 313 weeks on the all-genre album tally.

Watch the “Fire Squad” music video below.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented financial crisis for the live music business, leading to record job loss within the live music industry, according to recent data compiled by Billboard from state and federal databases. Approximately 75,000 to 100,000 full time concert employees working for North American venues, concert promoters, agencies, ticketing companies, touring crews and support positions have either been furloughed or laid off since the global halt to touring began in mid-March.

Many of those layoffs came from the biggest companies in live entertainment — Live Nation, AEG, Paradigm, Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, Cirque du Soleil, Feld Entertainment, MGM, Red Light Management and Madison Square Garden — which have enacted deep cuts as a result of the global shutdown.

One company, however, has not only avoided layoffs completely but actually hired more than 50 executives in the last two months to assist with a growing portfolio of venues and development initiatives. The Oak View Group, founded by former AEG chief executive Tim Leiweke, has been a quiet but persistent force for prosperity and economic development during the pandemic. Launched in 2015 along with Leiweke’s partner Irving Azoff, OVG is overseeing $4.5 billion in arena development projects across the world, including in Austin, Texas. There, the company made its most recent high profile hire, announcing that Casey Sparks, who previously managed the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma for ASM Global for six years, was joining the company. Sparks will serve as vp of OVG Austin and assistant general manager of the $338 million multi-purpose, state-of-the-art, privately financed Moody Center at the University of Texas, set to open in 2022.

Sparks joins former BOK Center alum Jeff Nickler, who was hired at OVG in 2019 to manage the company’s 29-member Arena Alliance and last month was appointed GM of the Moody Center and senior vp of OVG Austin (he’ll also continue to lead the Arena Alliance).

“Tulsa has been near and dear to my heart for many, many years,” Sparks tells Billboard. “Developing a live music market in a city that didn’t have one previously was incredible. And now joining OVG, I’m attracted to the commitment Tim has made to taking care of his employees and taking care of the communities we represent. I have many great friends at OVG who have been telling me I’d notice the difference in the company culture and it’s really impressed me in the short time that I’ve been here.”

Part of  OVG’s success is due to its strategic investors, including Silver Lake Partners. It’s also been lucky that most of the company’s major projects are expected to open after a vaccine for COVID-19 has been widely distributed. But much of the credit belongs to Leiweke, who is both a gifted mega-manager and a music and sports insider.

While many titans of industry have tried to disrupt the live music space by focusing on perceived inefficiencies, Leiweke has doubled down on personal relationships and the premium value of an artist’s content. That’s led him to seek out unique stakeholders for OVG projects, including recruiting Harry Styles as an investor and key supporter of a new OVG-backed arena in Manchester, England, and bringing in University of Texas superstar alum Matthew McConaughey to serve as the Moody Center’s “Minister of Culture,” where he will represent the best of Longhorns alumni’s potential and “Don’t Mess With Texas” charm.

“We’re already building the organization and when all is said and done,  we’ll have  60 to 65 full-time employees,” explains Nickler, who relocated to Austin with his family in March. Nickler has stayed busy in Texas, where OVG represents three facilities in the Arena Alliance — Toyota Center in Houston, American Airlines Center in Dallas and the ATT Center in San Antonio, Texas — and has a concert booking agreement at the Texas Ranger’s Globe Life Field, which opened in July and served as a “bubble venue” for Major League Baseball’s National League playoffs and the World Series.

OVG is also developing Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena (opens Oct. 2021), which replaces the former Key Arena and will be the future home of the Seattle Kraken NHL team; a new arena (late 2022) in Southern California’s Coachella Valley that will serve as the home venue for a Seattle Kraken minor league team; the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York (Oct. 2021) that will serve as a home to the New York Islanders; and new arena projects in Savannah, Georgia (early 2022) and Manchester’s Co-Op Live (2023).

In every project, OVG looks for under-developed markets with pent-up demand for live entertainment, Nickler says.

“It’s an incredible opportunity — Austin does not have a world-class arena and the expectation is that the Moody Center will be one of the finest concert venues in the country,” says Nickler. “It is obvious from looking at the data that a lot of major concert tours have skipped Austin and we believe that not only with the allure of playing in Austin, but with the relationships OVG has with Irving Azoff, his management company and Live Nation, this is going to be a top notch opportunity for touring shows and the Austin community.”

Kelly Clarkson’s 2013 Christmas carol “Underneath the Tree” climbs back up the Billboard Hot 100 ahead of the holiday at No. 30 this week (dated Dec. 12).

The holiday hit comes from Clarkson’s first Christmas album, Wrapped in Red, and expresses gratitude for the best present one can find (especially in 2020) underneath the tree, which is companionship.

Check out the lyrics and music video below.

You’re here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn’t the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight
You’re all that I need
Underneath the tree
Tonight

I’m gonna hold you close
Make sure that you know
I was lost before you
Christmas was cold and grey
Another holiday alone to celebrate
But then, one day, everything changed
You’re all I need
Underneath the tree

You’re here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn’t the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight
You’re all that I need
Underneath the tree

I found, what I was looking for
A love that’s meant for me
A heart that’s mine completely
Knocked me right off my feet
And this year I will fall
With no worries at all
‘Cause you are near and everything’s clear
You’re all I need
Underneath the tree

You’re here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn’t the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight
You’re all that I need
Underneath the tree

And then, one day, everything changed
You’re all I need
Underneath the tree

You’re here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing (oh, yeah, yeah)
It just wasn’t the same (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight (oh, you’re all I need)
Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight (underneath the tree)
You’re all that I need (underneath the tree, yeah)
Underneath the tree
Tonight
Oh, you’re all I need
Underneath, underneath the tree, oh

According to the latest Saturday Night Live promos, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band have joined the comedy show’s cast. “Can I play Dr. Fauci?” Stevie “Little Steven” Van Zandt volunteers from the back row.

OK, so probably not, but the New Jersey rockers are the musical guests on this weekend’s episode, hosted by Timothee Chalamet.

Speaking of the actor, the promos also feature SNL castmember Cecily Strong roping him into re-creating the title moment from his breakout 2017 movie Call Me by Your Name, in which Chalamet’s Elio and Armie Hammer’s Oliver romantically swap monikers. But it’s not exactly intimate when you’re surrounded by the full E Street Band — especially when Springsteen (hilariously) breaks the mood with a terse “And I’m Bruce.”

Watch the promos below, and tune in to see the new episode Saturday night at 11:35 p.m. ET/8:35 p.m. PT on NBC.

The “Midnight Sky” is the road Miley Cyrus is taking, as inspired by Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” for the lead single from her seventh album Plastic Hearts, which crowned Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart this week (dated Dec. 12).

In an interview on SiriusXM’s “The Morning Mash-Up” this summer, Cyrus explained the lyric “forever and ever, no more.” “I think it’s my relationship with the stigma,” she explained, noting that if your “forever” doesn’t work out then some people consider you a failure.

“And I just don’t think that. I think we’re kind of set up for devastation — in that, from the time we’re little kids, we’re taught to claim other humans as our best friends forever. And you just don’t know who you’re going to be sitting with here right now,” she continued. “You never know who you’re going to evolve to be and who they’re going to evolve to be. So I think that we, especially as women in relationships, a lot of the time we can get villainized when ‘forever’ doesn’t happen.”

Check out the lyrics and music video below.

La-la, la-la, la

Yeah, it’s been a long night and the mirror’s tellin’ me to go home (home)
But it’s been a long time since I felt this good on my own
Uh, lotta years went by with my hands tied up in your ropes
Forever and ever, no more

The midnight sky is the road I’m takin’
Head high up in the clouds
Oh

I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
See my lips on her mouth, everybody’s talking now, baby
Ooh, you know it’s true, yeah
That I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (loved by you)

La-la, la-la, la

She got her hair pulled back ’cause the sweat’s drippin’ off of her face (her face)
Said it ain’t so bad if I wanna make a couple mistakes
You should know right now that I never stay put in one place
Forever and ever, no more (no more)

The midnight sky is the road I’m takin’
Head high up in the clouds
Oh

I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
See my lips on her mouth, everybody’s talking now, baby
Ooh, you know it’s true, yeah
That I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (by you)

Oh
I don’t hide blurry eyes like you
Like you

I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can’t bite the devil on my tongue, you know
I don’t need to be loved by you
See his hands on my waist, thought you’d never be replaced, baby
Ooh, you know it’s true, yeah
That I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you, yeah

La-la, la-la, la
La-la
You know it’s true
You know it’s true
(Loved by you)
