A new Paramount+ documentary will dive into the struggles behind Nick Carter and Aaron Carter’s rise to fame, and a new trailer for The Carters shows how much the highs and lows affected the people closest to them.

Told through the eyes of Angel — Aaron’s twin sister — the doc will piece together the Carter family’s “deeply disturbing path” through never-before-seen home movies and exclusive interviews with friends Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis.

In the two-minute trailer, Angel is heard getting emotional as she describes her brother’s troubles, as scenes of the Carters growing up weave through the screen. “Imagine being a child and working like an adult, and having your childhood taken away from you,” she says, before adding, “In our family, mental health disorders run very deep.”

The two-part project will give viewers a “deeply personal look at the extreme highs and tragic lows of a family propelled into the spotlight” by Nick’s boy band career with the Backstreet Boys and Aaron’s rise to solo pop stardom.

Aaron, Nick and Angel are three of five children in their family. They also had a sister named Leslie, who died of an apparent overdose in 2012, and another sister, Bobbie Jean, who died of an accidental overdose in 2023. Aaron died the year prior in an accidental drowning. Nick is currently embroiled in legal battles with three women who have accused him of sexual assault.

Watch The Carters trailer below. The documentary will be available to watch on Paramount+ starting on April 15.

For the first time ever, Mexico has entered the top 10 global music markets, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has confirmed to Billboard Español. The milestone was driven by a 15.6% increase in recorded music revenue, as revealed in the IFPI’s 2025 Global Music Report published Wednesday (March 19). Mexico’s climb to No. 10 marks a huge achievement for the country and for Latin America as a whole.

Also on the list, Brazil retains its position at No. 9, making 2024 the first year two Latin American markets appear simultaneously in the top 10, the IFPI also confirmed. According to the report, Brazil is also the fastest-growing top 10 market by far with revenues surging by 21.7% last year.

With Mexico’s ascension, Australia has fallen out of the top 10 for the first time in nearly three decades, despite a 6.1% increase in recorded music revenue.

Latin America continues to thrive overall: With nearly 88% of the region’s recorded music revenue driven by streaming, it saw 22.5% growth in 2024, marking its 15th straight year of revenue gains.

The IFPI’s annual report ranks the world’s largest music markets based on recorded music revenue. The United States retains its long-held No. 1 position, with revenue increasing by 2.2% year-on-year. Japan, ranked No. 2, remained flat due to a decline in physical sales, while the United Kingdom (No. 3) and Germany (No. 4) saw growth of 4.9% and 4.1%, respectively. China rounds out the top five with 9.6% growth.

Further down the list, France (No. 6) reported a 7.5% increase, followed by South Korea (No. 7), which experienced a 5.7% decline, and Canada (No. 8), which saw modest growth of 1.5%.

Sir Elton John has been named the 2025 recipient of the Glenn Gould Prize. A wide range of creative talents have won the award over the years. John is only the second to come from the (broadly defined) rock world, following the late Leonard Cohen.

The award was established in 1987 by The Glenn Gould Foundation to honor the legacy of legendary Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, whose 1956 album Bach: Goldberg Variations is considered a classic. Gould died in 1982 at age 50. He received a posthumous lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy in 2013.

“After spending decades admiring the virtuosity of Glenn Gould’s work, I am awestruck and honored to receive this award,” John said in a statement. John, of course, has won countless lifetime achievement awards, including the Kennedy Center Honors, the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, a Grammy Legend Award, the Johnny Mercer Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and induction into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The Glenn Gould Prize is awarded biennially and includes a CDN$100,000 cash award for the Laureate, who also selects an exceptional young artist to receive the CDN$25,000 Glenn Gould Protégé Prize.

“In selecting our Laureate, Elton John, we chose to honor someone who has great artistic accomplishments, but whose life and whose art has been translated into something much greater than just performance or the consumption of music and things they’ve created,” said the Rt. Hon. Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada and this year’s jury chair for the Glenn Gould Prize.

“Elton John has used his enormous talent and his great success to change lives. He’s been courageous in taking on causes, whether AIDS, LGBTQ+ rights, addiction and all sorts of issues that were not popular when he engaged with them and he was prepared to take the wonderful success that his musical talent had given him to make a difference in the world. And from our perspective that represents the highest level of achievement for an artist and celebrates the memory of Glenn Gould in the best way.”

“Elton John embodies the spirit of artistic excellence, innovation, and profound humanity that The Glenn Gould Prize was created to celebrate,” added Brian Levine, CEO, Glenn Gould Foundation. “Glenn Gould’s vision was one of boundless creativity, fearless originality and an unshakable commitment to using music as a force for good in the world. Sir Elton has exemplified these ideals throughout his extraordinary career, not only with his incredible musical catalogue and immense talent but also championing emerging artists across genres and using his global platform to inspire transformational humanistic change. His enduring impact on music and culture makes him a truly perfect recipient of this honor.”

The announcement of The Glenn Gould Prize Laureate was made during a public event at Kings Place in London. The event featured a Q&A session with the jury and performances by South African soprano Pumeza Matshikiza and 17-year-old Canadian piano prodigy Ryan Wang.

Living candidates of any nationality are eligible for The Glenn Gould Prize, with nominations coming from the public. Disciplines include but are not limited to musical creation or performance, theater, dance, choreography, writing, design, film, television, radio and broadcasting, visual art, multimedia, writing, technology/innovation, architecture and design.

The prize will be presented to John during a special gala celebration to be held in Toronto this fall.
