On the new Billboard 200 albums chart (dated May 16), Michael Jackson‘s Number Ones ascends seven spots to No. 6, becoming his 11th top 10 and his first new top 10 of the 2020s.

In turn, Jackson becomes only the fifth act with at least one new top 10 album in every decade from the 1970s onwards. He joins Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and James Taylor as the only acts with new top 10 albums in the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s, ’10s and ’20s.

Number Ones was first released in 2003 and jumps into the top 10 on the latest chart following the continued buzz generated by the Jackson biopic Michael. The film premiered in United States movie theaters on April 24 and had grossed more than $240 million in the U.S. and Canada through May 10, making it the top-grossing music biopic of all time, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody (not adjusted for inflation).

Number Ones joins Jackson’s former No. 1 Thriller in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, as it rises 7-5 — its first week in the top five since May 1984. Thriller spent 37 weeks at No. 1 in 1983-84, the most weeks at No. 1 for an album by a singular artist.

Here’s a rundown of Jackson’s 11 top 10s, by decade. Jackson notched two new top 10s in the ’70s (first with Ben peaking at No. 5 in 1972 and then Off the Wall, which reached the top 10 in September 1979 and peaked at No. 3 in February 1980), two in the ‘80s (Thriller, No. 1 for 37 weeks in 1983-84 as noted above, and Bad, No. 1 for six weeks in 1987), two in the ‘90s (Dangerous, No. 1 for four weeks in 1991-92, and HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book 1, No. 1 for two weeks in 1995), two in the 2000s (Invincible, No. 1 for one week in 2001, and his first posthumous top 10, the soundtrack to Michael Jackson’s This Is It, No. 1 for one week in 2009), two in the ‘10s (Michael, No. 3 in 2011, and Xscape, No. 2 in 2014) and now one in the ‘20s with Number Ones.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new May 16, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard’s website on May 12.

It’s a new era for aespa, and the band wants to you “feel somethin’.”

Seoul-based K-pop girl group aespa released “WDA (Whole Different Animal),” the first song from their upcoming second studio album LEMONADE, on Monday (May 11). The new track features G-DRAGON, the band leader of fellow K-pop hitmakers BIGBANG.

“WDA (Whole Different Animal)” is bass and synth-heavy dance track with clear hip-hop influences. The song features lyrics in English and Korean. G-DRAGON lends his rap skills to the song’s third verse before the track closes out with one more refrain of “She a whole different animal” and “Give me all smoke, gun powder, powder.”

Alongside the single release, aespa has also dropped a music video for the track. The visual for “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” brings viewers into a world where the line between reality and digital is blurred. In the eerie video, replicas of aespa’s four members appear and continuously multiply, distorting ideas of what is real and what is fake. Ultimately, the girl group is able to break through the chaos and reclaim their identities.

Winners of the 2025 Billboard Women in Music award for Group of the Year, aespa announced the release of its forthcoming album LEMONADE in April. The LP is the follow-up to the group’s 2024 Billboard 200 No. 8 EP Whiplash and will drop on May 29. The album release will be followed by the girl group’s fourth world tour SYNK: COMPLæXITY, which begins not long after the conclusion of its SYNK : aeXIS LINE tour last month. SYNK: COMPLæXITY will kick off on August 7 with two nights in Seoul before making its way across a few more stops in Asia, traversing across North America and concluding with shows across Europe.

Fans can pre-order aespa’s LEMONADE here and watch the music video for “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” below.

Hailee Steinfeld is celebrating her first Mother’s Day as a mom in a heartfelt way.

To commemorate Sunday’s (May 10) holiday, Steinfeld and her husband, football star Josh Allen, gave the world its first peek at their baby girl. Steinfeld shared an Instagram carousel on Monday filled with photos of her Mother’s Day celebration. Two of the slides feature strategic photos of their baby girl — whose name the couple have yet to share — hiding her face. In the adorable first slide, the baby’s hand grasps onto Steinfeld’s finger.

“A day late but simply obsessed with this,” Steinfeld captioned her post which also featured pictures of a Mother’s Day cake, a breakfast spread with an elaborate flower bouquet and a collection of Mother’s Day cards. The final slide featured a photo of the baby in socks made to look like smiling fruit and a polkadot onesie.

Fans and friends of the Sinners actress wished Steinfeld a Happy Mother’s Day in the comments.

“Happy New Mothers Day !!!,” wrote fellow actor Jeremy Renner. “I am so very happy for you.”

“I’m so happy for you Hailee,” said another commenter.

Steinfeld and Allen married last May in a private ceremony. The couple announced their pregnancy via Stenfeild’s newsletter Beau Society before sharing the news on Instagram in December. In April, Steinfeld shared via Beauty Society that she gave birth to a baby girl. During a press conference on April 20, Allen told reporters that he was “very excited” about fatherhood.

“I do think this is going to be the best version of myself in all aspects—in my professional career and my personal life. It’s such a blessing,” Allen said before praising Steinfeld. “I’ve got an absolute rockstar of a wife that’s doing so many things right now and allowing me to be here right now and be with my teammates.”

Sebastian Yatra and Augusto Alonso’s “Lo Que Me Pasa Con Vos” has topped Billboard’s new music Latin poll published on May 8.

In support of the weekly New Music Latin poll and playlist, curated with recommendations by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors, music fans voted for the Colombian and Argentine artists’ collaboration as their favorite music release of the week.

“Lo Que Me Pasa Con Vos,” which translates to “what happens to me with you,” generated a whopping 98% of the vote, beating out other releases including a streak of new albums from J Balvin & Ryan Castro (Omerta), Carín León (Muda), Codiciado (Así Es La Vida) and Chuyin (Los Locos Nunca Mueren).

Co-produced by Yatra, Andy Clay and Ariza, the heartfelt pop ballad narrates the story of a man who has an innocent crush and is finding the courage to make the first move.

“I no longer know how to hide/ What happens to me when you come close to talk/ You—even more oblivious than I am—/ Are surely the only one who won’t catch on,” Alonso—a viral rising Argentine artist—sings with his deep-yet-sugary vocals.

Further solidifying their sweet bromance, the official music video captures both Yatra and Alonso in the recording studio, at private events, and the first time they performed together onstage during Yatra’s Entre Tanta Gente Tour stop in Argentina.

Editor’s Note: The weekly New Music Latin poll results are posted if the poll generates more than 1,000 votes. See the full results below.
