After months of documenting her entire pregnancy, including the gender reveal and baby shower via Instagram Live, Natti Natasha officially welcomes her baby girl, Vida Isabelle, Billboard can confirm.

The Dominican artist behind hits like “Criminal,” “La Mejor Versión de Mi” and “Ram Pam Pam,” gave natural birth at 9 a.m. on Saturday (May 22) at South Miami Hospital at the helm of Doctors Xiomara Martinez and Sureen. Vida weighs 6.8 pounds and is 20 inches long.

This is Natti’s first child, whom she had with longtime manager and fiancé Raphy Pina of Pina Records. He officially announced the birth of their daughter on his Instagram Stories.

“The baby girl is in perfect health and the parents are very happy and grateful for the long-awaited arrival of their firstborn and all the affection they have received during the process,” an official statement expressed.

In February, Natti announced she was engaged to Pina, flaunting her dazzling engagement ring on social media. That same month, the singer unveiled her pregnancy during the 33rd annual Premio Lo Nuestro awards while performing her Prince Royce-assisted track “Antes Que Salga El Sol.”

Bowen Yang on Friday (May 21) dropped by The Tonight Show where he broke the ice about his viral Saturday Night Live Titanic sketch from April.

The comic was trending on social media for days after he played the iceberg who sank the Titanic during a segment on “Weekend Update.” Video of the moment went viral, racking up millions of views.

Yang told Jimmy Fallon that the head writer of SNL, Anna Drezen, is an old friend of his, and earlier in the year, she ran the idea for the moment past him. Yang, at first, was skeptical, he explained.

“She texts me in February, ‘Hey, maybe for the April 10 show, for the Titanic anniversary, you can play the iceberg who sank the Titanic.’ And I was like, “Yeah… Cool… Maybe. Sure,’” Yang recalled. “April rolls around I text her, ‘Hey, were you serious about that iceberg idea?’ And she was like, ‘I completely forgot about it. Let’s do it. Why not?’”

The duo moved forward with the sketch, but Yang said they were fairly confident it would never be seen by an audience. “The entire week we did it, we were losing our minds a little bit, because we just kept looking at each other and bursting out laughing,” Yang said. But, it all finally fit together and the moment made it to air.

In the “Weekend Update” segment, Yang’s iceberg was visiting to promote an album and said he did not want to talk about the sinking of the historic ship, which occurred on April 14, 1912. “That was a really long time ago. I’ve done a lot of reflecting to try and move past it,” he told Colin Jost. “It’s one very small part me, but there’s so much going on beneath the surface that you can’t see.”

Yang’s iceberg snapped at Jost’s line of questions about the Titanic with, “I think my publicist was very clear: I’m not here to talk about the sinking,” before getting into the details of the incident from his point of view.

“First of all, you came to where I live and you hit me! It was midnight. I was chilling. And then I hear this Irish cacophony behind me,” he explained. “And before I turn around and go, like, ‘What?’ Half my ass is gone, which was my best feature. And I’m literally injured but all anybody cares about is that like 40 or 50 people died or whatever.”

Yang has quickly become an SNL fan favorite with his characters, such as his Fran Lebowitz and also for recently speaking his mind about the increase of anti-Asian assaults and harassment during the pandemic. Yang is SNL’s first Asian American cast member.

After seven months of meticulous planning and two weeks of marathon rehearsals, Twenty One Pilots pulled off a home-brewed Las Vegas-worthy spectacle on Friday night (May 21) during their hourlong livestream party to celebrate the release of their new album, Scaled and Icy.

The Columbus, Ohio duo — singer/guitarist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun — sprinted through most of the album’s bouncy, 1980s-influenced tunes while sprinkling in plenty of fan favorites in a show that utilized a massive performance space as the pair’s personal playground.

The show also featured a few firsts, including Joseph showing off some fancy-footwork choreo during the wistful, Supertramp-ish new track “Mulberry Street,” as well as a large cast of support musicians and dancers joining the duo, who typically go it alone.

The event opened on the set of the fictional Good Day Dema talk show, whose name was a familiar reference to the dystopian cabal at the center of the twisty storyline on 21P’s previous album, 2018’s Trench. Joseph took a seat on the retro ’70s couch for an interview with the two vapid hosts in cheesy polyester getups, who cracked corny jokes as the singer looked increasingly uneasy. He eventually tuned them out and walked to an adjacent, colorful set for a blitz through the new album’s second single, the propulsive “Choker.”

Arrayed on a giant, pastel-colored rainbow bisected by a giant model of the album’s mascot, the lovable, fire-breathing Trash the Dragon, the pink-haired vocalist weaved his way around the portions of the dragon sticking out of the floor as the multi-camera shoot switched between swooping crane shots and a variety of other perspectives that made the performance feel like a real-time music video.

A cabal of red-hooded figures then ushered Joseph onto a crimson red satellite stage with Saturday Night Fever-esque blinking floor lights for a medley of “Stressed Out,” “Migraine,” “Morph” and “Holding On to You,” as the singer addressed a giant screen behind him filled with footage of fans from an earlier arena show screaming in joy.

As they would several times during the night, the hosts interrupted the proceedings to hawk the new album in an informercial style, giving the musicians time to reset and change costumes. When he returned, Joseph was playing the piano intro to the new album’s “Mulberry Street” in a cozy jazz club before wandering out onto a streetscape populated by a troupe of dancers frozen in place. The three-story “Mulberry” brick building facade was packed with Easter egg nods to the new album and allusions to elements of the 21P world that likely brought a knowing nod from their legendarily rabid fanbase, the Skeleton Clique.

There was “Bounce Man” Bail Bonds just over Dun’s drum kit, as well as a giant floor-to-ceiling screen off to the side lit up by a projection with a nod to the singer’s infant daughter (“Rosie’s Lounge”), as well as the album’s new single (“Saturday”‘s bodega) and something called “DemaTronics.” After Joseph ducked back into the club for a piano break, he re-emerged onto the street, now animated with tons of action and the dancers joining him for some West Side Story-worthy dance routines.

Joining the band were some of their musical pals, including bassist Skyler Acord, MuteMath’s Todd Gummerman (keyboard/guitar) and Paul Meany (who also played keys and served as the show’s musical director), Dan Geraghty on guitar, frequent collaborator Misterwives trumpet player Jesse Blum, as well as backup singers Kenyon Dixon and Danielle Withers.

After another weird break from the Dema show hosts, the band returned to the strobe-lit stage for the elastic Blurryface favorite “Lane Boy,” with Joseph picking up his bass for Trench’s “Chlorine” as a small box popped up periodically on the side of the screen that allowed fans to download clips from the most cinematic moments of the show to share with friends on their socials as digital keepsakes.

Before they could get comfortable, Dun and Joseph walked offstage to another elaborate set, a snow-covered dinner scene with a giant formal table set with candelabras as Tyler sang the new album’s soaring first single, “Shy Away,” while wearing a floor-length shearling coat and Dun bashed away at his kit rocking a full-length faux fur. Standing on the table under chandeliers with a painting of snow-capped mountains behind him, Joseph waltzed across the silver place settings as snow swirled all around and the camera rattled to match his rebel yell on the chorus.

The now beat-up-looking announcers swooped in again to allow Joseph to quick-change for the new funk pop tune “The Outside” as the dancers thrashed, popped and locked on the street to the beat. Climbing on the scaffolding, Joseph rapped the song’s hip-hop breakdown while the scene below exploded into a bustling routine fit for the famous traffic-jam dance in the movie Fame.

After an annoyed neighbor tossed a bucket of water onto the street, Joseph slipped into a skeleton onesie and plucked out a solo, unplugged “Heathens” on an acoustic guitar while floating on a fake sea in a rowboat with a full moon rising behind him, before sliding into the throwback tune “Trees.”

The duo waltzed over to a mossy, smoke-filled digital canyon for the raucous Trench single “Jumpsuit,” which segued into the appropriately dense “Heavydirtysoul,” the latter raging away as the singer jumped onto the hood of a sedan engulfed in flames. The whole night was an homage to the band’s many looks and characters throughout their various eras, with the latest getting its own fresh storyline as Joseph slipped into a robe and sat on a couch in a funky disco rec room for an upbeat run through the new elastic funk single “Saturday” while a giant disco ball illuminated the joyous dancers getting down.

Joseph’s wife even made a brief cameo during the song’s spoken-word interlude before the whole gang grabbed a boombox and strutted their way over to yet another stage for a boogie through the band’s lockdown banger “Level of Concern” under a halo of deep blue and pink lights.

It wasn’t until around 50 minutes in that Joseph allowed himself a brief, satisfied smile when the band segued into their 2016 Blurryface reggae bop “Ride.” With blue lasers filling the air, Joseph pulled a balaclava over his face for the moody fan favorite “Car Radio.” A riot of flashing red lights and sirens had the dancers running for cover while the singer calmly made his way back to Mulberry Street for Icy’s fly funk song “Never Take It,” his profile illuminated by the burning sedan.

After a breathless hour, Joseph reluctantly made his way back to the couch for a brief reprise of “Choker” as the crane camera swung wide to show the massive crew behind the spectacle, zooming in on the smiling duo standing arm-in-arm, triumphantly taking a bow.

The concert was preceded by a weeks-long rollout on the livestream experience website, where fans could hunt for a variety of Easter eggs, including a massive one dropped in the there-hour pre-show: a trove of all the handwritten lyrics for the new album. That nugget was accompanied by 180 minutes of archival concert footage, a rerun of the experience’s recent Q&A with the band, and tons of other goodies to keep the Clique interested until showtime.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And when Olivia Rodrigo gives fans Sour, they offer up sweet reviews of her debut album that dropped Friday (May 21).

Another famous Olivia, Olivia O’Brien, said she felt like she was 21 going on 16 while listening to the 11 heartbreak anthems. “Olivia Rodrigo’s album makes me wanna teleport back to high school because every word is EXACTLY how I felt as a teenager,” O’Brien tweeted. “I’m just gonna listen and pretend I am 16 and a boy just broke my heart.”

Best Coast shared a similar sentiment, tweeting, “Laying in the dark listening to the Olivia Rodrigo album like the teenager I am.” (Don’t worry, Bethany, we won’t tell anyone you’re in your 30s.)

In addition to unlocking people’s inner-teens, Rodrigo is also making those who can’t parallel park — as her “Brutal”-ly honest lyrics point out — feel very seen. South Korean-American filmmaker, actor and producer Eugene Lee Yang wrote, “Olivia Rodrigo is IT. The voice. The lyrics. The aesthetic. The talent. The FEELING. The lack of parallel parking skills. Truly outstanding. Can’t wait to watch her rise to even greater success.” One Twitter user even depicted what that struggle would look like for the “Drivers License” star by referring to a scene of Boo crying in the 2001 animated movie Monster’s Inc.

On a more serious note, comedian Jenny Yang commended the Filipina-American singer-songwriter’s debut release as the perfect way to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Dave Grohl will co-host The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, Fallon revealed on Friday’s (May 21) episode, Billboard can confirm.

Grohl and Fallon will team up on the monologue, games and guest interviews with comedian Jim Jefferies and musical guest Blake Shelton on the May 24-dated episode, according to Rolling Stone, which first reported the news.

Earlier this month, Grohl became the 10th musician to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of two groups: He was inducted with his Nirvana bandmates seven years ago, and he will be inducted Oct. 30 as part of Foo Fighters.

The Foo Fighters released their 10th studio album, Medicine at Midnight, in February, which topped all three of Billboard’s rock albums charts: Top Rock AlbumsAlternative Albums and Hard Rock Albums. The Foos plan to deliver that medicine straight to their fans during headlining gigs at Lollapalooza in July and BottleRock Napa Valley in September.

Grohl captures the thrill of being on the road in the touring documentary he directed What Drives Us, which serves as his “love letter to every musician that has ever jumped in an old van with their friends and left it all behind for the simple reward of playing music.” The 52-year-old musician and his mother, Virginia, have also launched the six-part Paramount+ series From Cradle to Stage, which explores the relationships between successful musicians and their mothers.

Grohl also has his upcoming memoir The Storyteller to promote before it hits stores on Oct. 5.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.

Haru is set to drop “Seventh Heaven” later this month, the theme of the upcoming movie Colorless (“Sarugakucho de aimasho” in Japanese), opening in Japanese theaters in June after being postponed for a year due to COVID-19.

The 26-year-old artist also announced the new schedule for her U.S. tour, twice-postponed due to the pandemic.

Hey! Say! JUMP’s “Negative Fighter” rules as three songs debut in the top 10 on this week’s Billboard Japan Hot 100, dated May 10 to 16. The eight-member boy band’s 29th single debuts at No. 1 with 215,704 CDs sold in its first week, leading physical sales, look-ups, and Twitter mentions. The Johnny’s group’s previous single, “Your Song,” sold about the same number of copies in its first week (215,442), demonstrating the strength of its solid fanbase.

Bowing at No. 2 is HKT48’s “Kimi to dokoka e ikitai” (“I want to go somewhere with you”), the girl group’s 14th single. Selling 193,066 copies in its first week — about 20,000 more than the previous single, “3-2” (172,981) — the song comes in at No. 2 for sales, which mainly powered the song to its debut position. The track also comes in at No. 20 for look-ups and No. 89 for Twitter.

Breakout duo YOASOBI’s new digital single “Mou sukoshi dake” (“A little bit more”) launches at No. 4 on the Japan Hot 100 with 45,931 first-week downloads (No. 1). The song currently being featured as this year’s theme of the morning show Mezamashi TV also racked up 7,022,437 streams to come in at No. 4 for the metric, while also starting off at No. 6 for radio airplay, No. 18 for video views, and No. 42 for Twitter. Like their previous hits “Kaibutsu” and “Yoru ni kakeru,” the pair’s ninth digital single still has room for growth in the video metric, and it looks like they’ve added another title to their stash of long-running hits in the upper ranks of the Japan Hot 100.

The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, Twitter mentions, YouTube and GYAO! video views, Gracenote look-ups and karaoke data.
