When Taylor Swift is inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at their annual awards gala in New York City on June 11, she’ll become the first person to graduate from winning the organization’s Hal David Starlight Award (an accolade for a songwriter who shows promise, which Swift won in 2010) to full membership status.

A songwriter with a notable catalog of songs qualifies for SHOF induction 20 years after their first commercial release of a song. Swift’s first single, “Tim McGraw,” was released in June 2006, so she just made it.

Eight more recipients of the Hal David Starlight Award are eligible for induction into the SHOF (or will be by the time of the 2027 gala). They include three songwriters who have won Grammy Awards for song of the year – Rob Thomas (Santana’s “Smooth,” a co-write with Itaal Shur, which won in 2000), Alicia Keys (“Fallin’,” which won in 2002) and John Mayer (“Daughters,” which won in 2025).

Four other Hal David Starlight Award recipients who will be eligible for induction by next year have been nominated for the song of the year Grammy, though they have yet to win it – John Legend (“Ordinary People,” Estelle’s “American Boy,” DJ Khaled’s “God Did”), John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris”), Jason Mraz (“I’m Yours”) and Sara Bareilles (“Love Song”).

Ne-Yo has yet to be nominated for song of the year, but he won a Grammy for best R&B song for “Miss Independent,” which he co-wrote with Stargate. Nick Jonas has yet to be nominated in a songwriting category, though he has received two Grammy nods in other categories as a member of Jonas Brothers.

The voting members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame will choose the 2027 class of inductees later this year. Their choices will probably be announced in January 2027 (the 2026 class was announced on Jan. 21). There’s no assurance they’ll include a former Hal David Starlight Award recipient in their 2027 class. But if they did, who would you suggest they choose?

Chris Brown showed love to his fans for lending an ear and their support to his new album, Brown, which has drawn “mixed reviews” following its May 8 arrival.

Breezy took to his Instagram Story over the weekend with a message for Team Breezy and anyone who’s given the 27-track LP a listen.

“Just wanna say thank you to everyone who listened to this album. Been a lot of mixed reviews and I can take my audience’s criticism and opinions,” he wrote. “The last 3 albums have came under the same scrutiny and it eventually grew on people. Thank you for even taking the time out to listen.”

Brown’s been a polarizing act across his career and remains a lightning rod for conversation in music. Across the 27 tracks, there’s something for just about every fan of Chris Brown.

CB’s 12th studio album enlists YoungBoy Never Broke Again, GloRilla, Vybz Kartel, Leon Thomas, Bryson Tiller, Tank, Fridayy, Sexyy Red and Lucky Daye for assists.

Chris Brown is currently preparing to head out on a North American trek with Usher for the R&B Tour, which starts in Denver on June 26. The blockbuster stadium tour will make stops in Detroit, D.C., Cleveland, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami and more before ending on Dec. 11 with a show in Tampa Bay.

All of Breezy’s albums prior to BROWN have debuted inside the Billboard 200‘s top 10, with his last No. 1 coming with 2019’s Indigo.

BTS’ “Swim” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200 after spending its first four weeks on the chart at No. 1 in April.

As Michael continues to thrill at the box office following its April 24 premiere, Jackson’s “Billie Jean” jumps 8-4 and “Beat It” bounds 16-7 on the Global 200. The songs, both at new highs, drew 48.1 million and 36.9 million streams worldwide, respectively (each up 31%). They ruled the Hot 100 for seven and three weeks, respectively, in 1983, with both from his landmark Thriller album. They mark the late King of Pop’s first two Global 200 top 10s since the chart began in 2020.

Elsewhere in the Global 200’s top five, Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” holds at No. 4 after reaching No. 2 and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” falls 3-5, two weeks after it debuted at No. 1.

“Swim” splashes 2-1 on Global Excl. U.S. with 50 million streams (down 9%) and 3,000 sold (down 26%) outside the U.S.

“Beauty and a Beat” drops to No. 2 after spending the last two weeks atop Global Excl. U.S.

“Billie Jean” climbs 6-3 on Global Excl. U.S. (35.9 million streams outside the U.S., up 30%) and “Beat It,” 12-5 (27.8 million, up 29%). As on the Global 200, they’re Jackson’s first two Global Excl. U.S. top 10s.

Plus, “Dracula” drops 3-4 after hitting No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S.

Maluma melted hearts on Mother’s Day (May 10) by announcing that he and his partner are expecting another child together.
