Buckingham Palace temporarily became the Pink Pony Club on Saturday (July 5), with King Charles celebrating Pride 2025 by having the British Army Band perform a Chappell Roan hit on his front doorstep.

In a video shared by the Royal Family’s official Instagram account, the uniformed army musicians stand in an arc around a conductor right outside the palace while playing a concert band arrangement of “Pink Pony Club.” Where Roan’s voice would usually sing, a choir of brass instruments instead plays the melody of the lyrics, “God, what have you done?/ You’re a pink pony girl/ And you dance at the club.”

“Happy Pride!” reads the video’s caption, along with a rainbow and disco ball emoji.

Since dropping in 2022 and later rising to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 this past April, “Pink Pony Club” has become a bonafide LGBTQ+ anthem. London held its 2025 Pride festivities on July 5 this year, with Chaka Kahn headlining a day of celebrations that also featured a number of LGBTQ+ performers in the central part of the city.

Music has long been a focus of the Royal Family under King Charles, who took the throne after Queen Elizabeth died at the age of 96 in 2022. In March, the monarch announced that he would be DJing an Apple Music radio show titled The King’s Music Room, on which he showcased some of his favorite tracks by Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, Davido and more.

“Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me,” King Charles said at the time. “It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories, comfort us in times of sadness and take us to distant places. But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration.”

Over in the States, Roan is fresh off the release of her latest single, “The Giver,” in March. The track marked her first piece of new music since her 2024 breakout hit “Good Luck, Babe!,” which followed 2023 debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Bow-wow-wow, yippie-yo-yippie-yay! There’s a new dog in Snoop Dogg‘s house! The iconic rapper recently revealed that he has a new pooch in the Dogghouse.

The little tan pup appears to be a French bulldog, and made his debut on the 16-time Grammy nominated rapper’s Instagram account on June 28. “My [new emoji] family member BabyBoy Broadus,” Snoop introduced the pooch in the caption. The post included an adorable shot of Baby Boy looking straight at the camera while showing off a stylish Louis Vuitton leash, as well as a video of the little dude snuggled up on Snoop’s lap and chewing on the rapper’s Death Row jacket.

Days later, on July 3, Snoop revealed that Baby Boy now has his own Instagram account. “Follow my new life. Baby Boy Broadus. As a puppy. 😁 Me n @snoopdogg,” the rapper shared via his own account and the puppy’s.

Baby Boy’s account is already filling up with adorable snapshots and videos. In the first post, the pooch is seen sleeping peacefully while snuggled in a blanket on his first flight, which also appeared to be on a private jet. “first flight. Any1 else nap on the plane??” read the caption. Though napping appears to already be a favorite past time of the little guy, his account also shows him chowing down, slurping some water on a hot day (and reminding followers to stay hydrated in the heat!), snaps of him snuggling with Snoop and the fam, and much more.

Snoop’s introduction of Baby Boy comes after the rapper shared the news on June 12 that his beloved French bulldog Juelz had died. “Miss my dogg @juelzbroadus,” he wrote at the time. According to TMZ, Snoop received Juelz as a gift from Wiz Khalifa for his birthday in 2012.

Lorde scores her second No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart as her new studio album Virgin debuts atop the list dated July 12. The set sold 42,000 copies in the United States in the week ending July 3, according to Luminate, marking her largest sales week since 2017. The new album’s first week sales were bolstered by vinyl purchases, totaling 31,000 — Lorde’s best week on vinyl ever. It also bows at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, her first leader there.

Also in the new top 10 of Top Album Sales, the latest albums from KATSEYE, Russ, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen and ILLIT arrive, while the vinyl releases of Playboi Carti’s MUSIC and Die Lit push both titles back onto the chart. Plus, a 20th anniversary vinyl pressing of the Pride & Prejudice film soundtrack enables the album to bow at No. 9.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units. The new July 12, 2025-dated Top Album Sales chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on July 8.

Virgin’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across eight vinyl variants (including two signed editions), a standard CD and a digital download. All versions contained the same tracklist.

Virgin also enters at No. 1 on the Indie Store Album Sales, Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts. Indie Store Album Sales ranks the top-selling albums of the week at independent and small chain stores. Top Rock & Alternative Albums, and Top Alternative Albums, rank, respectively, the week’s most popular rock and alternative albums, and alternative albums, by equivalent album units.

Back on Top Album Sales, KATSEYE’s BEAUTIFUL CHAOS debuts at No. 2 with 30,000 sold — the pop group’s best sales week, highest charting album and second top 10. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across nine CD variants and four vinyl variants (one signed), all with the same audio but with packaging variations. All contained collectible paper ephemera, some randomized. It was also issued as a standard digital download album for purchase.

Russ logs his fifth top 10-charted effort as his new studio album W!LD enters at No. 3 with 25,000 sold. The album’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across three vinyl variants, three CD variants and three cassette variants (some signed), as well as a standard digital download. All contained the same tracklist, and all of the physical editions were exclusively sold via Russ’ official webstore. There was also an expanded edition of the download album, sold via the webstore, that includes narration from the artist.

Barbra Streisand’s new star-studded duets album The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two bows at No. 4 with a little over 18,000 sold. The all-collaborations set includes recordings from Streisand with the likes of Mariah Carey, Bob Dylan, Ariana Grande and Paul McCartney. The album was available on CD, digital download and in two vinyl variants, all with the same tracklist.

A pair of albums from Playboi Carti reenter the chart, and straight into the top 10, following their vinyl release. His 2025 release MUSIC reenters at No. 5 with 16,500 sold and his 2018 album Die Lit returns at No. 6 with 12,500 sold. Both titles sold a negligible sum in the week previous, and nearly all of their sales in the latest week were from vinyl purchases. MUSIC was pressed on two variants, while Die Lit was available in just one iteration.

Bruce Springsteen’s expansive archival project Tracks II: The Lost Albums debuts at No. 7 on Top Album Sales with nearly 10,500 sold. The boxed set comprises seven never-heard full-length albums spanning 83 songs (74 that have never been released in any form). The material was recorded between 1982 and 2018 and was issued as a digital download, a seven-CD box or in a nine-vinyl box. A 20-track highlights edition of the Tracks II project, titled Lost and Found: Selections From The Lost Albums, debuts at No. 16 on Top Album Sales with 6,000 sold.

ENHYPEN’s chart-topping DESIRE : UNLEASH falls 3-8 on Top Album Sales with about 9,500 sold (down 22%).

The soundtrack from the 2005 film Pride & Prejudice makes its debut on Top Album Sales thanks to a 20th anniversary vinyl pressing across multiple variants. In the tracking week ending July 3, the album sold just over 8,000 — across all versions of the album, old and new. The film starred Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfayden, and its soundtrack’s music was composed by Dario Marianelli, and performed by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the English Chamber Orchestra. The album also jumps 5-1 on the Classical Crossover Albums chart, marking its first week atop the list.

Closing out the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart is ILLIT’s new release Bomb, selling 8,000 copies and debuting at No. 10. It’s the third top 10-charted effort for the group. The album’s first-week sales were largely driven by its availability across 14 CD variants, all with the same audio but with packaging variations. All contained collectible paper ephemera (some signed by the act), some randomized. It was also available as a standard digital download album.

Marilyn Manson was not part of the line-up for Saturday’s (July 5) epic Back to the Beginning final concert by a reunited Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. While a murder’s row of hard rock and heavy metal superstars took the stage at Villa Park in Birmingham, England to fête the Prince of Darkness in what was billed as Osbourne’s last-ever show with original Sabbath mates guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward, Manson beamed in with a video message paying homage.

But based on some fan reaction to the gesture, it was not well-received by all. “F–k that guy he’s a rapist piece of s–t,” wrote one fan after video of the tribute was posted. In the clip, Manson (born Brian Warner), 56 — who was accused in lawsuits from four women of sexual assault and domestic abuse — said, “It is a great honor to be here via this video,” according to the NME. “And I’d like to say congratulations, and I love you very much, Ozzy.”

After the video played at the show featuring sets from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Pantera, Anthrax and many more, fans weighed in online about the surprise Manson pop-in. “Eurgh Marilyn Manson making an appearance on the sabbath stream. F–k that guy he’s a rapist piece of s–t,” wrote one, with others adding, “Marilyn Manson on the black sabbath stream f–k off” and “disgraceful that he is on this otherwise outstanding Black Sabbath show.”

According to British media reports, some fans at the show booed during the video or turned their backs on Manson’s video. At press time a spokesperson for Manson had not returned Billboard‘s request for comment.

The feeling of some was summed up by another tweet that read, “ew marilyn manson go away.” Manson has long denied the sexual abuse allegations, which have resulted in his being dropped by his label, manager and booking agent, and, most recently, the Oct. 29 One Assassination Under God tour kick-off gig in Brighton, U.K. getting cancelled at the urging of members of Parliament. In January, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced that it wouldn’t file criminal charges against Manson in the cases, citing the expiration of the statute of limitations and insufficient evidence in the alleged incidents that prosecutors said happened between 2009 and 2011.

Stories about sexual assault allegations can be traumatizing for survivors of sexual assault. If you or anyone you know needs support, you can reach out to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). The organization provides free, confidential support to sexual assault victims.
