Latto really needs “Somebody,” and she announced on Monday (May 12) that she’s dropping her new single with that name on Friday.

“Greetings from Jamaica,” she wrote on Instagram under the island-inspired artwork. She first teased the single on X back in March with a one-minute clip of her playing it in the car. “I’m on a beach, my hair blowing in the wind. I’m sippin’ a piña colada in a G-string bikini,” she says while licking her lips. She posted a slowed-down version of that snippet in her latest IG announcement.

“Somebody” will mark Latto’s first solo single release of 2025, and it will arrive four months after she dropped the “Blick Sum” remix featuring fellow ATL rapper Playboi Carti. “Blick Sum” was originally featured on her third studio album Sugar Honey Iced Tea, which she released last August via Streamcut and RCA Records. The 17-track project included the hit single “Big Mama,” which was nominated for a best melodic rap performance at the 2025 Grammys, and reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and earned Latto her first No. 1 on Top Rap Albums.

Next month, Latto will embark on the mini Big Mama Takes Europe tour, featuring festival stops at DLT Malta in St. Paul’s Bay, Malta, Tinderbox in Odense, Denmark, Yardland Festival in Paris, France and Les Ardentes in Liège, Belgium, as well as shows in London, Berlin and Amsterdam.

Usher’s mid-concert antics narrowly avoided a health concern while in London, with the singer attempting to feed cherries to an audience member with an allergy to the fruit.

Fans of Usher and his live shows have undoubtedly found themselves more than aware of his penchant for feeding cherries to his audience in recent years. Beginning as part of his 2022-23 Las Vegas residency concerts, it’s since become a staple of his gigs, and one that frequently goes viral in the process. 

“It started with strawberries in Vegas,” he explained on The Jennifer Hudson Show in February. “So, you know, I just figured we try all the fruits until we figured out which one works the best. But cherries were something that I felt was fun and just kind of active. It was a bit erotic.”

During a recent tour stop in London last week, Usher’s cherry-feeding attempts took a slightly comedic turn when an audience member politely turned down the offer of the fruit, seemingly confusing the singer as she appeared to explain that she was in fact allergic to cherries.

In a video of the moment shared on social media, Usher can be seen seemingly confirming this with the audience member before appearing to try once more, only for her to once again mention the allergy as he understands the severity of the situation. 

“Oh s–t, you’re allergic to cherries, damn! Anybody got an epipen in this b–h?” he says before apologizing, hugging her and continuing the show. “We almost had an emergency in here.”

Usher’s cherry routine made headlines just a week ago following a viral photo from the 2025 Met Gala that showed the R&B star feeding Sabrina Carpenter a cherry during his performance.

The reaction from Carpenter’s father served as a moment of comic relief when the “Espresso” singer shared an Instagram post that included a screenshot of a text conversation with “Dadda” – as he was listed in her phone – that showed him reacting by simply writing “? Weird.” 

To his credit, Usher was quick to step in, taking to the Instagram post to comment “Apologies Mr Carpenter.”

Sleep Token‘s new album Even in Arcadia tops this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (May 9) on Billboard, choosing the cryptic English group’s latest LP — their first with major label RCA Records — as their favorite new music release of the past week.

In a week brimming with fresh offerings, Sleep Token rose to the top; their 10-track collection brought in more than 61% of the vote. Voters chose Even in Arcadia over new releases from artists including ROSÉ, Kid Cudi, Miley Cyrus, Kali Uchis, Halsey & Amy Lee, PinkPantheress and Maren Morris.

Sleep Token built up to the May 9 release of Even in Arcadia with “Emergence,” which sprung to No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart and broke into the Hot 100, marking Sleep Token’s first entry on the all-genre chart. Two more Hot Hard Rock No. 1s followed suit: “Caramel” and “Damocles.” (On the May 10-dated Hot Hard Rock Songs ranking, “Damocles” sits at No. 1, “Caramel” at No. 2 and “Emergence” at No. 3.)

Though Even in Arcadia is Sleep Token’s fourth studio album, it’s the first to see a release through RCA.

“Before we could approach the rollout plans for Even In Arcadia, it was critical to me that everyone who would be tied to the project deeply understood and respected the profound and expansive world the band created to surround its artistry long before this record,” RCA vp of marketing Aaron Stern told Billboard in April. “Sleep Token set a best-in-class standard for how an artist can cultivate an audience of fans that sincerely immerse themselves in the music and surrounding visual identity.”

Among the new music trailing behind Even in Arcadia on this week’s poll are songs from ROSÉ (“Messy,” with 25% of the vote), Kid Cudi (“Neverland,” with 4% of the vote) and Miley Cyrus (“More to Lose,” with 3% of the vote).

See the final results of this week’s poll below.

Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, jumping 7-1 on the May 17-dated chart, following the set’s release on vinyl. It’s the fourth total week atop the list for the Spanish-language project, which spent three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Jan. 25-Feb. 8-dated charts. In the tracking week ending May 8, Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 84,500 equivalent album units (up 123%) in the United States, with more than half of the sum driven by vinyl purchases, according to Luminate.

It’s a historic week for Latin music, as Fuerza Regida — Billboard’s year-end top duo/group in both 2024 and 2023 — achieves its first top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200 with the band’s 111XPANTIA bowing at No. 2. In turn, for the first time in the 69-year history of the all-genre chart, Spanish-language albums are Nos. 1 and 2 at the same time. Further, 111XPANTIA marks the highest-charting Spanish-language album by a duo or group, and the highest-charting regional Mexican music album.

Plus, rapper Key Glock notches his fourth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as Glockaveli premieres at No. 8.

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 May 17, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on May 13. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ 84,500 equivalent album units earned in the week ending May 8, album sales — essentially all vinyl — comprise a little over 48,000 (up 15,099%, it reenters Top Album Sales for its first week at No. 1), SEA units comprise just over 36,000 (down 3%, equaling 50.27 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it falls 5-6 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise under 500 units (down 8%).

The album’s 48,000 sold marks the largest single-week sales for a Latin music album in nearly six years, since Santana’s Africa Speaks sold 57,000 copies in its first week (June 22, 2019-dated chart), driven by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer for the act’s then-upcoming tour. Such offers are no longer chart-eligible.

Debí Tirar Más Fotos surges back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after its vinyl shipments to customers impacted the tracking week — to the tune of nearly 48,000 copies. That’s the largest sales week for a Latin album on vinyl in the modern era (since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991). It surpasses the previous record, held by the opening week of Kali Uchis’ Orquídeas (20,000 sold across seven variants; on the Jan. 27, 2024-dated chart).

Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ lone vinyl edition — on blue-colored double-vinyl in a gatefold package — was sold exclusively via Bad Bunny’s official webstore for $29.98. It went up for pre-order in early February and was then (per the store) “estimated to ship on/around the end of April 2025.” The vinyl is currently sold out on the artist’s webstore, and it has not been announced if the vinyl will be restocked, or sold through any other seller. (The blue-colored vinyl is the only physical format on which the set has been released. It has yet to be issued on CD or any other physical format, and has only been available to purchase as a download.)

Since Debí Tirar Más Fotos debuted on the Jan. 18-dated Billboard 200 (at No. 2), it has yet to leave the top 10 after 18 weeks, with its chart fortunes largely fueled by continued strong streaming of its songs.

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Fuerza Regida debuts with its highest-charting album ever, and first top 10, as 111XPANTIA arrives with 76,000 equivalent album units earned — the band’s best week ever by units.

The set also becomes the highest-charting Spanish-language album by a duo or group (surpassing the No. 4 peak of Maná’s Amar Es Combatir in 2006), and for a regional Mexican music album (higher than the No. 3 peak of Peso Pluma’s Génesis in 2023).

111XPANTIA also earns the largest week, by units, for any Spanish-language album by a duo or group, and by a regional Mexican album, since the chart began ranking by units in December 2014. The previous high, in that span of time, for a Spanish language album by a duo or group was Santana’s Africa Speaks (57,000 in its opening week, in 2019), while the previous high for a regional Mexican title was Génesis (73,000 in its debut frame in 2023).

Of the 76,000 units earned by 111XPANTIA in its opening week, album sales comprise 39,000 (the band’s best sales week ever, and the biggest sales week for a regional Mexican album in the modern era; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 37,000 (equaling 50.44 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 5 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

With 39,000 copies sold, 111XPANTIA surpasses the previous largest sales week for a regional Mexican title, when Selena’s Amor Prohibido sold 36,000 copies on the chart dated May 6, 1995, in the wake of her death in March of that year.

111XPANTIA was released on May 2 as a 12-song standard album, widely available as a digital download for purchase and via streaming services. On May 5, a deluxe edition of the set, with three bonus tracks, was issued via download services and streamers. The band’s official webstore carried the only physical format editions of the album: the 12-song version on four color vinyl variants, a standard CD, a signed CD (by the group’s lead singer, Jesús Ortíz Paz) and four deluxe boxed sets (two containing a branded T-shirt and a signed CD, two with a branded hat and a signed CD).

The new album was preceded by its hit single “Por Esos Ojos,” which reached No. 5 on Hot Latin Songs (March 1 chart), No. 3 on Hot Regional Mexican Songs (May 10), No. 5 on Latin Streaming Songs (March 1) and No. 79 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (March 15).

111XPANTIA is the sixth charting effort on the Billboard 200 for Fuerza Regida, and the third to reach the top 40 (after PERO NO TE ENAMORES, No. 25 in 2024; and Pa las Baby’s y Belikeada, No. 14 in 2023). The group’s success has also extended to the Hot 100, where the act charted 13 song entries before the new album dropped.

Prior to the new album’s release, the group also logged eight top 10s (with one No. 1) on the Top Latin Albums chart, and 10 top 10s (with five No. 1s) on the Regional Mexican Albums chart.

Fuerza Regida’s success on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 over the past few years has been so significant that the act finished 2024 as the top duo/group artist of the year — among all genres — for the second year in a row. In 2023, the act made history when it became the year’s top duo/group — the first time an act that primarily records in Spanish had ever achieved the feat.

(Latin and regional Mexican albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and Top Regional Mexican Albums charts, respectively.)

Nos. 2-7 on the latest Billboard 200 are all former chart-toppers. SZA’s SOS slips 2-3 (52,000 equivalent album units, though up 1%), Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is steady at No. 4 (46,000; down less than 1%), Kendrick Lamar’s GNX dips 3-5 (45,000; down 7%), Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet falls 5-6 (41,000; down 6%) and PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U descends 6-7 (40,000; down 7%).

Key Glock lands his fourth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 at Glockaveli debuts at No. 8 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 28,000 (equaling 37.28 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 12 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 6,000 (it enters at No. 9 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Glockaveli was released on May 2 as a standard 18-song album, widely available as a digital download to purchase and via streaming services. The standard set was also available on CD (both signed and unsigned), vinyl (standard, color vinyl and signed color vinyl) and a deluxe boxed set containing a branded T-shirt and a CD. A deluxe edition of the album, with three bonus tracks, dropped mid-week — first via the artist’s webstore on May 4, and then wide the following day to general download services and streamers.

Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 are Morgan Wallen’s former leader Dangerous: The Double Album (rising 10-9 with 33,500 equivalent album units; up 1%) and Shaboozey’s Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going (falling 8-10 with 32,000; down 8%).
