Noah Kahan achieves the biggest week of his career on Billboard’s latest charts (dated May 9) following the release of his new album, The Great Divide.

Released April 24 via Mercury/Republic Records, the album launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 389,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States, according to Luminate. It marks not only Kahan’s largest week ever by that metric, but the biggest for any rock album since the chart began measuring by units in 2014. Fueled by 215.4 million on-demand official streams for its songs, the set also posts the largest streaming week of any album in 2026.

Those figures help Kahan jump from No. 24 to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, where he leads for the first time.

On the Billboard Hot 100, Kahan charts 21 songs from The Great Divide — encompassing the album’s entire 17-song standard edition and the four extra tracks from the deluxe version — including 12 in the top 40. Here’s a recap (with all debuts except where noted).

Rank, Title:
No. 9, “Doors”
No. 11, “The Great Divide” (up from No. 44; hit No. 6 in February)
No. 14, “End of August”
No. 16, “American Cars”
No. 19, “Dashboard”
No. 21, “Porch Light” (up from No. 60; hit No. 20 in March)
No. 23, “Downfall”
No. 26, “Willing and Able”
No. 28, “Haircut”
No. 29, “Paid Time Off”
No. 33, “23”
No. 34, “Deny Deny Deny”

Before this week, Kahan charted 11 total songs on the Hot 100 (including “The Great Divide” and “Porch Light”). With 19 debuts, he raises his career total to 30 entries.

“Doors” also earns the singer-songwriter his third top 10 Hot 100 hit, following 2024’s “Stick Season” (No. 9 peak) and “The Great Divide.”

Kahan is the 13th artist in the Hot 100’s nearly 68-year history to chart at least 21 songs simultaneously.

The Artist 100 measures acts’ activity across key metrics of music consumption: album sales, track sales, radio airplay and streaming. Using a methodology comprising those metrics, the chart provides a weekly multidimensional ranking of artist popularity.

Dolly Parton is canceling her previously postponed Las Vegas residency due to ongoing health issues, but tells fans, “I’m improving every day.”

The 80-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer posted an Instagram Reel on Monday (May 4) and gave fans an update on her shows, her health and other projects she has in the works.

“I have some good news, and a little bad news. But the good news is I’m responding really well to meds and treatments and I’m improving every day,” she said.

“The bad news is, it’s going to take me a little while before I’m up to stage-performance level, because some of the meds and treatments make me a little bit swimmy headed, as my grandma used to say,” she continued. “And of course, I can’t be dizzy carrying around banjos, guitars and such on five-inch heels and you know I’m going to be wearing them. Not to mention all those heavy rhinestone outfits, the big hair, my big, uh, personality,” she added with a giggle. “That would make anybody swimmy headed.”

She also compared herself to a timeless automotive, saying, “Just think of me as like an old classic car, that once restored, can be better than ever. But when they raised the hood on this old antique, they realized that I need to rebuild my engine and that my transmission is slipping. My oil pan is leaking and my muffler’s busted, and my shocks and pistons need to be replaced. And for sure, my spark plugs need to be changed, because you know as well as I know that I can’t lose my spark.”

She went on to say, “I know, I’m still crazy, but they didn’t mention nothing about my mental health. But you know, I’ve told you before that I’ve always had problems with my kidney stones. Lord, they dig more stones out of me a year than the rock quarry in Rockwood, Tennessee. But seriously, my immune system and my digestive system got all out of whack over the past couple of three years and they’re working real hard of rebuilding and strengthening those. And hopefully, I’ll be up to snuff again soon.”

She told fans “I am truly sorry” that she won’t be seeing them in Vegas, but she did update fans on her plans to continue working toward the opening of her new SongTeller Hotel and museum that is slated to open this year in Nashville. Parton also said she is “rewriting and reworking” her musical Dolly: A True Original Musical which is set to open on Broadway in 2026.

Parton also spoke about adjusting to life since the passing of her husband Carl Dean, who died in March 2025 at age 82. Dean and Parton had been married for nearly six decades.

“Also, a lot of you have been concerned about me and Carl and you were so great about that,” Parton said in the video. “But after going through a year of firsts, I mean the holidays, and especially our wedding anniversary, and the day of his death, March 3, you know that was hard for me, but I will always love him and I will always miss him. But you would be surprised at how much your love and concern meant to me during that time. Lord, my house and my porch looked like the botanical gardens with all the flowers and my den looks like the post office with all the cards and letters. So yes, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. You have been a big part of my healing.”

Of her health, Parton reassured fans, saying, “I have great doctors and I’m doing really well, and they assure me that everything I have is treatable, so I’m going with that and I just want you to know that I thank you for standing by me and that I will always love you.”

The impact of Justin Bieber’s buzzy Coachella performances continues to be felt, as his “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, reigns as the biggest song in the world, rising a spot to No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and spending a second week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

Another longtime favorite, Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” blasts to the top 10 of both tallies sparked by the premiere of the hit box office biopic Michael.

“Beauty and a Beat” crowns the Global 200 despite drops of 13% to 69.6 million streams and 35% to 13,000 sold April 24-30, according to Luminate. Bieber played the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., on both April 11 and April 18. The song, which hit No. 6 on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 in 2012, was part of his April 11 performance, a hybrid spotlight that blended proper live songs with clips of his early hits played directly from YouTube.

Bieber earns his third No. 1 since the Global 200 began in September 2020, after “Stay,” with The Kid LAROI, ruled for 11 weeks beginning in August 2021 and “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, led for two weeks that April. Minaj tops the chart for the first time.

Also notably, “Beauty and a Beat” is the second non-holiday song to top the Global 200 more than a decade after its release, after Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God),” 1985, led for three weeks in 2022, spurred by its sync in Netflix’s Stranger Things. (Two holiday classics have hit No. 1: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” from 1994, and Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” from 1984.)

Elsewhere in the Global 200’s top five, BTS’ “Swim” rises 3-2 after spending its first four weeks on the chart at No. 1 in April; Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” falls to No. 3 a week after it debuted in the top spot; Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” keeps at No. 4 after reaching No. 2; and Bieber’s “Daisies” holds at No. 5 after hitting No. 3.

Following the smash start for Michael, which premiered April 24, Jackson’s “Billie Jean” surges 65-8 on the Global 200 with 36.7 million streams (up 102%) and 3,000 sold (up 203%) worldwide. The seven-week Hot 100 No. 1 in 1983, from his landmark Thriller album, becomes his first Global 200 top 10.

“Beauty and a Beat” tops Global Excl. U.S. led by 57.9 million streams (down 11%) outside the U.S.

“Swim” treads water at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. after leading in its first four weeks on the chart; “Dracula” ascends 4-3 after hitting No. 2; “Drop Dead” backtracks 3-4 in its second week; and Dominic Fike’s “Babydoll” holds at No. 5 after reaching No. 3.

“Billie Jean” concurrently vaults 64-6 on Global Excl. U.S., up 97% to 27.6 million streams outside the U.S. It’s likewise the late King of Pop’s first top 10 on the chart.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate.

The latest charts, dated May 9, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 5.

Quavo and Offset reunited in the studio over the weekend, which could be leading to the first collaboration between the Migos members in five years.

Huncho and Set appear to be on better terms these days, and just days after fueling speculation for another Migos album, the duo hit the studio on Sunday (May 3), which Offset posted a photo of to his Instagram Story.

One photo posted finds Quavo working on a file at the studio’s computer desk, while another picture that emerged sees Offset recording vocals in the booth.

The studio session comes after last week’s social media post from Quavo, in which he seemingly hinted at a posthumous TakeOff album, a sequel joint album with his late nephew and a possible Migos tribute project. TakeOff was fatally shot in 2022.

“Warriors Never fold. Jobs Not Finished. TAKEOFF ALBUM. UNC N PHEW 2. LAST ????? ALBUM. REAL MIGO BLOOD RUN IN MY VIENS!!! AINT NO NEW CHAPTER JUST THE NEXT ONE,” Huncho wrote.

Offset echoed Quavo’s sentiments and doubled down on the speculation, which added fuel to the fire. “On dat,” he added.

TakeOff (born Kirshnik Khari Ball) attended a Halloween party at 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston and was shot and killed after an argument broke out during the early hours of Nov. 1, 2022.

In the years since, Quavo and Offset have been distant, with their last collaboration arriving on 2021’s Culture III, which was originally billed as the last project from the ATL trio. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 130,000 total album units earned, according to Luminate.

Quavo spoke in a 2023 interview about TakeOff having hundreds of songs recorded that he’s kept in a sacred stash. Qua and Take posthumously teamed up for “Dope Boy Phone” in 2025.

More recently, Quavo joined forces with NAV for “MUTT,” which arrived on May 1. As for Offset, the 34-year-old’s currently recovering after being shot outside the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Fla., on April 6.
