Slick Rick Announces New Album ‘Victory,’ His First Project Since 1999: Here’s When…

“VICTORY is a tale of fiction for the mind. Part myth. Part Magic. Grab your snacks… And a cozy blanket and pretend you’re by a fireplace,” Slick Rick said in a statement. “VICTORY is sight, story, and sound dancing as one.”

The short film gives fans a look into Slick Rick’s innovative storytelling and age-defying imagination with each scene more powerful than the next, while providing a cinematic visual companion to the album.

“Collaborating with Slick Rick The Ruler on his first album in 26 years was incredible,” added director Meji Alabi. “Being able to create visuals to such a monumental piece and with a storyteller and icon like Slick Rick was an experience I’m going to cherish forever and can’t wait for the world to see what he has in store for them.”

Even at 60 years old, Slick Rick’s ingenuity remains timeless while delivering hard-hitting bars over an array of beats ranging from boom bap to dance.

Recorded in London and France, VICTORY was four years in the making for The Ruler, while the visuals were shot in the United States, U.K. and Africa.

Nine Days to Celebrate 25 Years of ‘Absolutely (Story of a Girl)’ With Australian Tour

US pop-rock outfit Nine Days are heading to Australia for the first time this November to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their breakout single, “Absolutely (Story of a Girl),” and its parent album The Madding Crowd.

The Long Island band will perform three intimate shows on the East Coast, with dates locked in for Melbourne (Nov. 13 at Croxton Bandroom), Sydney (Nov. 14 at Caringbah Hotel), and Brisbane (Nov. 15 at The Back Room). Tickets will go on sale Thursday, June 26, via MRG Live, with pre-sale access starting a day earlier.

Originally released in 2000, “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 31 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The double-Platinum single has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, thanks in part to its reimagining in the Oscar-winning film Everything Everywhere All At Once. To date, it has racked up more than 175 million streams on Spotify.

Frontman John Hampson says the band has long hoped to tour Australia: “We have been waiting 25 years for this opportunity! Over the years, fans from Australia have reached out to us wanting to know when we were going to make it there to play some shows. Well, now we can finally give them an answer – this November!”

In a nod to the band’s Aussie connection, Hampson recalled an exclusive CD single released only in Australia, featuring unplugged recordings from a Seattle session. “For some reason, this fascinated me,” he said.

While often labeled a one-hit wonder, Nine Days have released eight studio albums since 1995, including their most recent, Snapshots, in 2016. “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” continues to be a generational anthem, earning spots on Rolling Stone’s list of the best one-hit wonders of the 2000s and Billboard’s top 10 songs of the summer from the same decade.

The upcoming shows promise to be a nostalgic celebration for longtime fans and a rare chance to hear a beloved track performed live by the band that wrote it.

Nine Days 2025 Australian Tour Dates:

Nov. 13 – Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne

Nov. 14 – Caringbah Hotel, Sydney

Nov. 15 – The Back Room, Brisbane

U.K. Prime Minister on Kneecap’s Glastonbury Set: ‘I Don’t Think That’s Appropriate’

Kneecap’s Glastonbury Festival set is now at the center of a political firestorm, with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly opposing the Northern Irish hip-hop trio’s appearance following terrorism charges against member Mo Chara.

In comments published by The Sun, Starmer said he does not believe Kneecap should perform at the iconic festival on June 28. “No, I don’t, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this,” he said. “This is about the threats that shouldn’t be made. I won’t say too much because there’s a court case on, but I don’t think that’s appropriate.”

Mo Chara, born Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was last month charged with a terrorism offense by London’s Metropolitan Police after being investigated for allegedly showing support for militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah in historic videos. Both are proscribed as terror groups according to U.K. law, and considered an offense under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Kneecap have denied the allegations, calling the charges a “carnival of distraction” in a statement posted to social media. “We deny this ‘offense’ and will vehemently defend ourselves,” the group said. They added, “British courts have long charged people from the North of Ireland with ‘terrorism’ for crimes never committed. We will fight them. We will win.”

The posters, in Irish flag colors, read “More Blacks, More Dogs, More Irish, Mo Chara” — a provocative reference to anti-Irish and anti-immigrant signage once common in the U.K.

Kneecap’s growing notoriety has drawn attention beyond the courtroom. At Coachella earlier this year, the trio accused organizers of censoring their pro-Palestine messaging during the livestream. They were recently removed from Scotland’s TRNSMT festival due to “police safety concerns,” but their Glastonbury performance remains on the lineup — and the BBC is still planning to air it live.

Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch joined Starmer in criticizing the group, also taking aim at the BBC. “As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism,” she wrote on social media.

Kneecap, whose debut album Fine Art was released in 2024, have built a reputation for blending satire, politics and Irish identity into a brash hip-hop sound. The controversy around their appearance has turned what might have been a standard festival set into one of Glastonbury’s most politically charged moments in years.

Fans Choose KATSEYE’s ‘Gabriela’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

“Gabriela,” the new single from KATSEYE, tops this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (June 20) on Billboard, choosing the global girl group’s fresh track as their favorite new music release of the past week.

Votes streamed in over the weekend, with music fans ultimately making “Gabriela” their top pick over new releases from Public Enemy, Cardi B, Benson Boone, Karol G, Lorde, Haim and more. The new KATSEYE track brought in 43% of the vote.

KATSEYE dropped “Gabriela” as a pre-release from their upcoming Beautiful Chaos EP, due out on June 27 via HYBE x Geffen (pre-save here). The track has a Latin pop groove and incorporates both English- and Spanish-language lyrics — with a bridge sung entirely in Spanish. The single follows “Gnarly,” which earned the group’s six members their career-first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in May — and got a remix with Ice Spice earlier this month.

Released on June 19, the deliberately melodramatic, telenovela-inspired “Gabriela” music video, featuring actress Jessica Alba and directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, has amassed 9.3 million views on YouTube as of press time on Sunday, June 22.

Over the weekend, KATSEYE — Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae — performed “Gnarly” at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards. The performance ended with a requisite sliming.

Jay-Z Joins Beyoncé for ‘Crazy in Love’ & More in Surprise Duet in Paris

The City of Love got to witness “Crazy in Love” live Sunday night (June 22) with Beyoncé and Jay-Z — a performance the superstar couple haven’t put on together in more than six years.

The Cowboy Carter songstress wrapped a long weekend in Paris with her husband by her side at Stade de France, just north of the capital, where the Cowboy Carter Tour had a three-night run (June 19, 21 and 22).

Surprise guest Jay-Z joined his wife on the pair’s 2003 hit “Crazy in Love” and was there for a version of 2013’s “Drunk in Love” remixed with “Partition,” and brought his own “N—-s in Paris” to the city. (Jay originally recorded “Paris” with Ye, for their collaborative Watch the Throne album that topped the Billboard 200 in 2011; Ye was, unsurprisingly, not a part of Jay’s performance Sunday.)

Miley Cyrus Joins Beyoncé for Surprise Performance at Paris Cowboy Carter Show: ‘A Dream…

The last time Bey and Jay, aka The Carters, performed in concert together was at Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Dec. 2, 2018.

But crowd-captured video — and even a clip uploaded by concertgoer Cardi B, who went full Cowboy Carter with her outfit — shows Beyoncé stepping aside for a moment mid-“Crazy in Love” Sunday night, leading all eyes to Jay-Z, who emerges out of the blue to rap his entire verse to the cheers of Parisian fans.

The footage also gives a glimpse at Jay-Z performing “N—-s in Paris” while Cardi, Kelly Rowland and Tina Knowles are dancing in the VIP area.

“Crazy in Love,” which in 2003 spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and lives on as one of Beyoncé’s biggest singles to date, is a standard on the Cowboy Carter Tour setlist, just without Jay-Z’s verse. However, Sunday marked the first time “Drunk in Love” has made the cut this tour, and as expected, it’s also the only time “N—-s in Paris” has been part of the show.

Sunday’s Jay-Z surprise follows a surprise appearance by Miley Cyrus on Paris night one. Beyoncé and Miley treated the June 19 audience to the live debut of their Cowboy Carter ballad “II Most Wanted.”

The Cowboy Carter Tour returns to the U.S. next, resuming on June 28 for pair of hometown shows in Houston.

Kristin Chenoweth to Perform National Anthem Before Game 7 of NBA Finals

At 4-foot-11, Kristin Chenoweth is still making it to the NBA Finals.

The award-winning actress, singer, Oklahoma native, Oklahoma Hall of Fame inductee and unabashed Oklahoma City Thunder fan is performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Game 7 of the title series between the Thunder and the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night (June 22), the NBA announced.

Chenoweth’s performance will air live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET, shortly before tipoff of the season’s final game.

Kristin Chenoweth Surprised Ariana Grande With Matching Glinda Jackets on ‘Wicked’ Set

She teased the appearance on social media Saturday, revealing — while wearing Thunder gear — that she was in Oklahoma City, then said she better “start warming up” and sang the first few notes of the national anthem.

Chenoweth’s Thunder fandom has been no secret since the franchise’s early years, though she also has professed at times to liking the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks as well. That said, the Thunder are clearly her top choice — so much so that she once told Tulsa World she spent three hours bedazzling a Thunder hat. She went to Oklahoma City University after growing up in Broken Arrow, about 115 miles northeast of where the Thunder play.

And her dog’s name is Thunder. She even dressed the pup up once in a Thunder outfit.

Chenoweth has been the anthem singer at multiple Thunder games in the past, sometimes alone and at least once with children from her Chenoweth Broadway Bootcamp. That camp is part of the arts and education fund that she founded to cultivate “young artistic expression by enriching children’s lives through the power of education, entertainment and experience.”

Chenoweth won a Tony Award in 1999 for best leading actress in a musical for her role in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. She also earned two other Tony nominations for best leading actress in a musical — one in 2004 for playing Glinda in Wicked and the other in 2015 for playing 1930s Hollywood diva Lily Garland in On the Twentieth Century.

And in 2009, she won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy series for her work on ABC’s Pushing Daisies.

Billy Strings Shares Heartbreaking News of His Mom’s Death at Kentucky Show

Billy Strings paid tribute to his mother during a concert in Kentucky, just hours after learning of her passing.

Early in his sold-out show at Lexington’s Rupp Arena on Friday (June 20), the 32-year-old bluegrass star told the audience that his mother, Debra Apostal, had died in her sleep following his hometown performance at the Charlotte Bluegrass Festival in Lansing, Michigan, the day before.

“After our set we drove through the night and I finally fell asleep when we got parked here in Lexington, probably about 5:40 this morning or so,” Strings told the audience, holding only a microphone. “I might have got three hours of sleep and I was in a deep sleep. My wife woke me up this morning and told me that my beautiful mother, Debra Apostal, passed away in her sleep.”

Strings, visibly fighting back emotion, recalled wandering through Lexington in the early morning hours, seeking solace.

“I just put my shoes on and started walking,” he said. “I walked until I saw this old country church and it was like a beacon, and I went there and knocked on the door and this kind lady let me in and she stayed with me and prayed with me for a while, and eventually gave me a ride back to where I was staying.”

Despite the devastating news, Strings made the decision to move forward with the show, saying it’s what his mother would have wanted.

“It was my decision to carry on with tonight’s show because that’s what my mom would have wanted me to do,” he said, as the crowd responded with supportive cheers. “She really loved this group of people. She loved you all so much and for the last couple of years were some of her happiest because of a lot of you folks right here. You all became some of our best friends, and I really want to thank you for that. The reason I decided not to go home and be with my family right now is because I already am.”

With his head bowed, Strings promised the crowd he’d do his best to get through the performance. He then asked, “So please, instead of a moment of silence, can you please make as much noise right now for my mom?”

After the emotional speech, Strings welcomed his band to the stage and opened the set with a powerful rendition of “I’ve Just Seen the Rock of Ages.” He went on to deliver a two-and-a-half-hour performance featuring a mix of originals and covers, including songs by The Beatles and Pearl Jam.

Just a day earlier, Strings had performed alongside his father, fellow bluegrass musician Terry Barber, at the Charlotte Bluegrass Festival. Apostal did not attend that show and passed away in the early morning hours of June 20, according to the Lansing State Journal.

Strings is scheduled to continue his tour with concerts in Australia and New Zealand in July, followed by a run of U.S. dates beginning in August.

Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m the Problem’ Rules Billboard 200 for Fifth Straight Week

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem rules the Billboard 200 albums chart for a fifth consecutive, and total, week, as the set holds atop the chart dated June 28. The album earned 186,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the tracking week ending June 19 (down 11%), according to Luminate. The album debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated May 31.

With 186,000 units earned, Problem lands the largest fifth week for an album since Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department earned 378,000 in its fifth week (June 1, 2024-dated chart).

Problem is also the first album to spend its first five weeks at No. 1 since Poets perched in the top slot for its first 12 weeks at No. 1 (in May-July of 2024), of its total 17 weeks at No. 1. Problem is the first album by a man to spend five weeks at No. 1 (in total, or, from its debut) since Wallen’s last album, One Thing at a Time, spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 (in March-June of 2023), of its total 19 weeks at No. 1.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, ATEEZ notch their seventh top 10 with the No. 2 debut of GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, Lil Tecca scores his highest charting album yet with the No. 3 launch of Dopamine, and Brandon Lake earns his first top 10 with the No. 7 bow of King of Hearts.

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 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new June 28, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on June 25. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of I’m the Problem’s 186,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending June 19, SEA units comprise 176,000 (down 11%, equaling 229.99 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for a fifth week), album sales comprise 9,000 (down 12% — it rises 9-7 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 6%).

ATEEZ achieve their seventh top 10 album on the Billboard 200, as GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 debuts at No. 2 with 105,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 101,500 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.07 million on-demand official streams of the set’s five songs) and TEA units comprise 500 units.

GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 was available in its first week across 12 CD editions, all with the same audio but with packaging variations. Some editions were signed, and all contained collectible paper ephemera, some randomized.

At No. 3 on the Billboard 200, Lil Tecca scores his highest-charting album ever, and fifth top 10, as Dopamine debuts with 48,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 45,000 (equaling 65.31 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it debuts at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Lil Tecca had previously gone as high as No. 4 with We Love You Tecca in 2019.

Dopamine was issued as a standard 17-song album via streaming services, and was available to buy as a download, CD and in five deluxe CD boxed sets (each containing a branded T-shirt and a copy of the album on CD). All of the CD iterations were exclusively sold via the artist’s official webstore. In the midst of its first week, the album was reissued with four bonus tracks, and that iteration was exclusively sold as a download in his webstore.

Dopamine was preceded by two Billboard Hot 100-charting songs: “Dark Thoughts” (which hit No. 28 in April) and “Owa Owa” (No. 50 earlier this month). The former marked the second top 40-charting song for the rapper, and first since “Ran$om” hit No. 4 in 2019.

A trio of former No. 1s is next on the Billboard 200, as SZA’s SOS rises 5-4 (nearly 48,000 equivalent album units; up 9%), Wallen’s One Thing at a Time climbs 8-5 (40,000; up 3%), and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet steps 7-6 (39,000; down 3%).

Brandon Lake notches his first top 10 album on the Billboard 200 — and first top 40-charting set — as his new project, King of Hearts, bows at No. 7 with 37,500 equivalent album units earned. He charted just one album previously, with the No. 135-peaking Coat of Many Colors in 2023. The new album boasts his first Hot 100 hit, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” which reached No. 40 on the May 3, 2025, chart. The track has also logged 22 weeks atop the Hot Christian Songs chart, through the most recently published chart, dated June 21. Lake has placed a total of 43 entries on that chart since his debut on the list in 2019, including six No. 1s.

King of Hearts earned 37,500 units in its first week (Lake’s best week by units earned). Of that sum, album sales comprise 20,000 (his best sales week ever — it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 16,500 (equaling 22.06 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it debuts at No. 30 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 1,000.

King of Hearts additionally logs the largest week, by units, for a Christian music-genre album in three-and-a-half years, since Ye’s Donda earned 38,000 units on the Oct. 16, 2021-dated chart. King of Hearts is the highest-charting Christian music album — and first top 10 — since for KING + COUNTRY’s What Are We Waiting For? debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the March 26, 2022-dated chart. (Christian music albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart.)

King of Hearts was issued as a standard 16-song album (via streamers, as a widely available digital download album and on CD and vinyl). He also sold a signed CD via his webstore and Walmart carried a version of the album on CD with a bonus track. During the album’s first week, it was issued in a deluxe edition, widely via streamers and digital download services, which added eight bonus tracks.

Closing out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 are Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping GNX (rising 10-8 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned; down 6%) and Wallen’s former leader Dangerous: The Double Album (bumping 13-9 with 32,000; up 6%).

Cavin Yarbrough, Half of R&B Duo Yarbrough & Peoples, Dies at 72

Cavin Yarbrough, half of the 1980s R&B duo Yarbrough & Peoples, has died at the age of 72.

The singer-musician-producer passed away on Thursday (June 19) owing to complications from heart disease. “He was the love of my life, my protector. Now he’s my guardian angel,” Yarbrough’s wife and longtime music partner, Alisa Peoples, said in a statement.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Musicians We Lost in 2025

Yarbrough & Peoples is best known for their crossover dance/funk hit “Don’t Stop the Music.” Released in 1980, the song spent five weeks at No. 1 R&B and also reached No. 19 on the Hot 100. The RIAA gold-certified single was featured on the pair’s also gold-certified debut album The Two of Us. The album also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B chart and No. 6 pop.

The duo went on to score another R&B No. 1 single with “Don’t Waste Your Time” in 1984. Their engaging mix of R&B, soul, funk, pop and dance — graced by their smooth and spirited vocals — also sparked three additional R&B top 10s during the pair’s ’80s heyday: “Heartbeats,” “Guilty” and “I Wouldn’t Lie.”

Born in Dallas, Yarbrough was a classically trained pianist who first met fellow Dallas native Peoples as youngsters taking piano lessons. The pair’s friendship and creative bond later led to establishing their own band. It was Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band who discovered Yarbrough & Peoples. He brought them to the attention of Lonnie Simmons, who signed them to his Los Angeles-based label, Total Experience Records.

“Cavin was not only an extraordinary talent, but a kind man with a great heart,” said longtime friend Michele Elyzabeth, who also served as Yarbrough & Peoples’ PR representative for more than 40 years. “His legacy will live on in the music, in our memories and in the hearts of everyone who knew him.”
