Sam Fender might only be days removed from the release of his third album, People Watching, but already the English musician is thinking of shaking things up for his next record.
On Friday (Feb. 21), Fender put an end to the multi-year wait for another studio album by releasing People Watching as the follow-up to 2021’s critically-acclaimed Seventeen Going Under. Having teased the album since the release of its title track in November, the record is on its way to becoming a watershed moment for the singer-songwriter.
However, while Fender has managed to harness his heartland rock style with great success, a new interview indicates that he’s looking for a bit of a sonic shift when it comes to album number four.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Fender revealed that he has piles of new material at the ready, going so far as to show his phone to the interviewer and previewing “dozens of demos.” According to the article, these include songs such as “Drugs” and “Hornsby,” the latter of which is named for its sonic similarities to U.S. musician Bruce Hornsby.
Most notably, Fender adds that he’s “desperate” to record a punk album. “I’m buzzing! I’m just singing at you!” he tells the interviewer, going so far as to belt out a Tom Petty-esque track as a preview.
“People are going to hate you, whether you’re a saint, sinner, giver or a taker,” Fender sings on one of his as-yet-unreleased tracks. “But a big old heart is all that it’s worth. And he said, ‘You’ve got a big old heart, kid! Don’t let them own it.’”
Currently, it remains to be seen when Fender will actually get some time to hit the studio and work on his desired punk album, given his hectic live schedule.
In December, he cut short a run of U.K. tour dates following a diagnosis of a hemorrhaged vocal cord, and he’s currently set to return to the global stage for a series of European dates in early March. He’ll hit the U.S. and Canada the following month, with a series of summer dates scheduled for the U.K. and Europe throughout June, July, and August.
Before he returns to the touring circuit, Fender will also perform at the Brit Awards on Saturday (March 1). He’s also up for two awards at the ceremony, including British artist of the year, and best alternative/rock act, the latter of which he previously won in 2022.

Iconic Chilean songstress Myriam Hernández graced the stage on Monday (Feb. 24) at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, marking her first performance at the event in over 20 years. At 7:45 p.m. ET, the singer made a memorable entrance with “El Hombre Que Yo Amo,” her hit from 1992, accompanied by a live band featuring keyboards, melancholic violins, and a cello.

Dressed elegantly in a black, beaded gown with a leg slit, Hernández showcased her signature vocal range and poise right from the start. She continued with a seamless transition into “Te Pareces Tanto A Él,” accompanied by striking visuals including fiery planet imagery, masks, and bucolic scenery.
The show continued with the ranchera-tinged “Nos Lo Hemos Dicho Todo,” continuing to display her exceptional vocal prowess. “Good evening Viña, I dreamed of this moment. 23 years have passed, and 35 years since I stood up on this stage for the first time; and you made that dream of that four-year-old girl come true,” she said in between songs. “I just have to give infinite thanks to God, to you, to all of you.”
Following nostalgic hits like “Mío” and a vibrant medley that included “Dónde Estará Mi Primavera” and “Rescátame,” the stage came alive with more dynamic visuals. Chilean musician Valentín Trujillo also joined her for “Se Me Fue” on the grand piano, enriching the historic moment.
One of the night’s highlights was the appearance of the Power Peralta twins, whose electrifying dance moves in fiery red pants and sparkly B.B. Simon belts — and their washboard abs — complemented Hernández’s performance of “Leña Y Fuego.” The superstar, now in a shorter, more flamboyant dress, continued to rev up the energy, surrounded by a dozen female dancers, cementing her status as a queen of the stage. “Myriam, you are the queen of Chile, and thank you very much for representing us so well,” exclaimed one of the Power Peralta brothers.
The emotional peak of the night arrived as Hernández was awarded the prestigious Gaviota de Platino — which has only been awarded four times (Luis Miguel, Juan Gabriel, Lucho Gatica, Los Jaivas) in its 64th history of the festival; she is the fifth artist to receive the coveted prize. “It is so difficult to talk and describe what I feel,” said the emotional performer. “I am proud to be Chilean, and that is my flag to the whole world, you are my greatest motivation.”
As Hernández sang “Ay Amor,” tears streamed down her face. “Myriam Hernández, the balladeer of America, leaves an indelible mark on Viña and all who witnessed this historic return,” remarked one of the announcers as the showcase came to an end.
Viña will continue that night with the duo Ha*Ash, and on Tuesday (Feb. 25) with Colombian’s Morat headlining and Sebastian Yatra; Feb. 26 with Carlos Vives headlining and Carín León; Feb. 27 with Incubus, Juan Carlos López and The Cult; and Feb. 28, urban night, with headliner Duki, Eladio Carrión and Kid Voodoo.

Tony Hawk has taken to social media to lament the fact that Kurt Cobain isn’t alive to meet the grandchild they share.
In September 2024, it was announced that Hawk’s son Riley and Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean had given birth to a baby boy. “Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk,” Cobain wrote on social media, revealing her son’s birth date as Sept. 17. “Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.”
While the couple’s 2023 marriage and subsequent parenthood was the dream pairing that ‘90s kids the world over could have hoped for, it also resulted in the newborn boasting two of the decade’s most iconic and influential figures as his grandfathers.
Now in his own post on social media, Tony Hawk has reflected on the impact that Kurt Cobain had upon his life, reflecting on a Nirvana gig he once attended and sharing his desire that Cobain could have met their shared grandson.
Hawk’s post was shared to Instagram Stories over the weekend and featured a ticket stub to an Oct. 20, 1991 Nirvana concert at the long-gone Houston, TX venue The Vatican. According to Hawk, he was in the area for a skateboarding competition and went directly from the event to the show.
“It was as transformative as live music can possibly be,” Hawk wrote of the gig. “We all experienced something rare and powerful that night. The world would never be the same.”
The event itself took place right on the cusp of Nirvana’s massive global takeover. Priced at just $10, the show took place just shy of four weeks after the seminal grunge outfit had released their breakthrough album, Nevermind. Just under three months later, the record would topple Michael Jackson’s Dangerous to claim the top spot on the Billboard 200, and swiftly turning the group into household names.
“I wish Kurt were here so he could see the incredible woman his daughter has become, meet her devoted, caring husband, and hold our wondrous grandchild,” Hawk added to his post.
Both Nirvana and Tony Hawk have found themselves at the forefront of the news cycle recently. While the surviving members of Nirvana performed separate reunion sets with celebrity vocalists for the FireAid LA Benefit Concert and Saturday Night Live’sSNL50: The Homecoming Concert, Hawk’s eponymous video game series has been the talk of the gaming world thanks to rumors of a new volume to be announced next week.

Billy Joel is in a New York and New Jersey state of mind.
During his 2025 tour, which kicks off March 15 in Toronto, Joel will play all three New York City-area sports stadiums, making him the first artist to ever play all three in one summer. His impressive feat will come over a month-long period.

Joel will play Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on July 18; East Rutherford, N.J.’s Metlife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and New York Jets, on Aug. 8; and Citi Field, home to the New York Mets, in Queens, N.Y., on Aug. 21. Rod Stewart will join him July 18, Stevie Nicks on Aug. 8 and Sting on Aug. 21.
“I’m looking forward to playing these iconic stadiums this summer – each holds personal significance to me,” Joel tells Billboard. “There’s nothing like the energy of the crowds in New York, and sharing a stage with my friends, Rod Stewart, Sting and Stevie Nicks, whose music always inspires me, is extremely rewarding.”
The feat is all the more remarkable in that it comes on top of ending his 10-year residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden last July after playing the vaunted venue once a month for 10 years. The run earned Joel $266.7 million and sold 1.9 million tickets over 104 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore. He played one show at MSG every month except for June 2017 and December 2022, as well as for a year-and-a-half hiatus during the height of the COVID-19 wave.
Joel’s 16-show run ends Nov. 1 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fla. The run, which concentrates primarily on North America, also includes two U.K. shows in Edinburgh, June 7, and Liverpool, June 21.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet hits No. 1 for the first time on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, as the six-month-old set jumps 6-1 on the list dated March 1. It vaults to No. 1 following its deluxe reissue on Feb. 14 with five additional bonus tracks on CD, digital download and two vinyl variants.
In the week ending Feb. 20 in the U.S., Short n’ Sweet sold 71,000 copies across all versions – old and new combined – increasing by 616% in sales. It’s the second-largest sales week for the project, following its opening week (Sept. 7, 2024-dated chart), when it launched at No. 2 with 184,000 copies sold.

Short n’ Sweet marks Carpenter’s first No. 1 on Top Album Sales out of seven total entries on the list.
Short n’ Sweet also returns to No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, for a third nonconsecutive week, as it sold nearly 48,000 copies on vinyl (up 626%). Of Short n’ Sweet’s total overall sales to date, vinyl sales comprise 61% (372,000 of 606,000).
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units. The new March 1, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 25.
Elsewhere on the latest Top Album Sales chart, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX falls 1-2 with 30,000 copies sold (down 74%) while PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U bows at No. 3 with 25,000.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA made waves with their latest team-up, “Luther” off Lamar’s newest album, GNX.
“Luther” made its way up to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, marking Lamar’s sixth leader and SZA’s third. The single’s title is an ode to late R&B legend Luther Vandross, who is sampled on the track.
“Luther” replaced Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us” atop the Hot 100, just week after the latter returned to to the top spot, thanks to the performance during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. “Luther” was also a part of the halftime set, with SZA appearing as a surprise guest.

It’s incredible to think about the evolution of Tyler, The Creator’s music. From the days of Odd Future in Fairfax, where his music felt like controlled chaos, to now—headlining arenas, selling out shows, and having a Billboard No. 1 album. Despite his success, Tyler remains the same person from Los Angeles, CA. His return to his beloved city for the Chromakopia Tour was a nostalgic and fun-filled experience.
The Chromakopia Tour is like a love letter to everything Tyler has built, combining old and new, chaos and control, humor and real emotion. The crowd at Crypto Arena for his six-day run was lit up in green, pulling fans into the Chromakopia world before the show started. And when Tyler finally hit the stage, it wasn’t all about the music—it was about the moments in between. The weird ones, the nostalgic ones, the ones that had everyone looking at each other like, are we really all barking right now?
That’s the magic of a Tyler show. You go in thinking you’re just there to hear some great music, but you leave feeling like you were part of something bigger, something that only you, as a fan, can experience at a Tyler, The Creator show. Whether he was eating a donut mid-verse or teasing songs with a vinyl player, every detail felt thoughtful. Here are the eight best moments from night five of Tyler, The Creator’s LA run.

Wicked, A Complete Unknown and I Saw the TV Glow won for best music supervision in major budget, mid-level budget and low-budget films, respectively, at the 15th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards, which were held at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 23.
Wicked fans had further cause to rejoicify: Wicked creator Stephen Schwartz received the Icon Award to celebrate his contributions to the music and film industries. Schwartz performed “Beautiful City” from the 1973 film adaptation of his 1971 musical Godspell.
The GMS Awards honors achievements in the craft of music supervision in film, television, documentaries, advertising, trailers and video games.
“Like a Bird” from the film Sing Sing won best song written and/or recorded for a film. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s headed for an Oscar victory for best original song on March 2. Of the nine songs to win in this category at the GMS Awards, just three went on to win the Oscar – “City of Stars” from La La Land, “Shallow” from A Star Is Born and “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.
The field of nominees in this category at the two shows was very different this year. Just one other song, Diane Warren’s “The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight, was nominated at both shows. The other Oscar nominees are “El Mal” from Emilia Pérez (Clément Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard), “Mi Camino” from Emilia Pérez (Camille and Clément Ducol) and “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late (Elton John, Brandi Carlile, Andrew Watt and Bernie Taupin).
GMS awarded three songwriters for “Like a Bird” — Abraham Alexander, Brandon Marcel and Adrian Quesada – while the Oscars nominated just Alexander and Quesada.
Music producer and supervisor Bonnie Greenberg took the stage to accept the Legacy Award for her career in music supervision. Greenberg has worked on dozens of films, including Hairspray, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Pleasantville, What Women Want and It’s Complicated.
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez won the GMS Award for best song written and/or recorded for television for “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road (Sacred Chant Version)” from Agatha All Along. The Lopezes’ previous collaborations have brought them two Oscars, two Grammys, a Primetime Emmy and assorted other awards.
Steve Schnur, music supervisor and executive at EA Games, won the most awards on the night – two for his work on video games EA Sports FC 25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Alexander and Quesada performed “Like a Bird” at the GMS Awards. Danielle Ponder performed her nominated song “Egún” from Apple TV’s MANHUNT, and Role Model performed “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” as the Spotlight artist of the evening.
The event was produced by the GMS Awards production committee: president Lindsay Wolfington, vp Heather Guibert, Janet Lopez, Priya Autrey and Joel C High. Show production was handled by Angelia Shepperd from ABS Collective with talent producer Julie Donsky, and technical production by Nick Urbom from Big Push Media Group.
Here’s a complete list of nominations for the 2025 Guild of Music Supervisor Awards, with winners marked.

Noah Weiland, the son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, has paid tribute to his father with a cover of 1993’s “Sex Type Thing.”
Released on Thursday (Feb. 20), the haunting rendition of the track sees Noah offering up a faithful take on the original, albeit without the angry vocals that Scott included over 30 years ago. Featuring production and additional guitar from Spencer Carr Reed, the cover also comes accompanied by a video which sees Noah making his way throughout Sherman Oaks, CA alongside a Chucky doll which represents the elder Weiland.
The video features subtitles which see Noah reflecting on the loss of his father. “There was so much I wanted to tell him, like how much has changed on Earth without him,” one caption reads, while a final caption adds, “I wish I could dream about you forever. But it’s ok…because for now I will carry on your legacy.”
“Filmed this about a dream I had long ago about seeing my father again,” Noah wrote about the track on social media. “It’s hard for me to stay in the moment sometimes, but I try.”
Scott Weiland passed away in December 2015 at the age of 48, with an autopsy later declaring his cause of death as an accidental overdose of cocaine, ethanol and methylenedioxyamphetamine. Scott first rose to fame in the ’90s as the frontman of Stone Temple Pilots, who officially formed in 1989 as Mighty Joe Young.
The band’s debut album, Core, was released in September 1992, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. “Sex Type Thing” was issued as its lead single in early 1993, and would peak at No. 23 on the Album Rock Tracks (now called the Mainstream Rock) chart. Second single “Plush” would also win them a Grammy Award for best hard rock performance.
Stone Temple Pilots would split in 2003 after releasing five albums (including 1994’s chart-topping Purple), though would reunite in 2008 and release a self-titled record in 2010. Scott Weiland would be fired from the band in 2013, with Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington taking over as lead vocalist until 2015.
In 2016, the band launched a search for a new vocalist, ultimately announcing Jeff Gutt as their new singer in November 2017. The band have since released two studio albums with Gutt, with their most recent being 2020’s Perdida.
That same year, it was revealed that Noah Weiland, along with the sons of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash and Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, had formed a band called Suspect208, though the group would only last for a year before splitting.
In April 2024, Noah revealed he was being “blackmailed” by an unnamed individual who demanded $2,000 to refrain from leaking a demo titled “Time Will Tell”, which featured previously-unreleased vocals from Scott. Noah instead decided to finish the song with Reed, telling Rolling Stone the idea was to present the track as a familial collaboration.
“Due to the fact that nobody who ‘represents’ my dad actually cares to give the fans new unheard music, let alone keep his name alive in the first place, my friend Spencer Carr Reed and I decided to turn it into a more modern sounding song as if he was still alive and just decided to hop on one of my songs,” Noah explained at the time. “That was the concept behind it.”

Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez were surprise (and plainly surprised) winners at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards, which streamed live on Netflix on Sunday, Feb. 23 from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Chalamet won outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Adrien Brody had won in that category at most other awards shows for The Brutalist and was expected to win here too.

“I was not expecting this at all,” Chalamet said. “This was five-and-a-half years of my life. I poured everything into playing him. It was an honor to play him, a true American hero.” Chalamet, who is just 29, said he is in pursuit of greatness, naming Marlon Brando, Daniel Day-Lewis and Viola Davis as three actors he especially admires. He said this award was “fuel” to keep going.
Chalamet is vying to become the youngest Oscar winner ever for best actor next Sunday March 2. The SAG win, and Chalamet’s thoughtful acceptance speech, won’t affect his Oscar chances. Final-round voting closed Feb. 18.
Individual SAG winners for film acting generally go on to win Oscars. Three years ago, and again two years ago, all four SAG winners repeated at the Oscars. But last year, one of the four stumbled: Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) won the SAG Award, but went on to lose the Oscar for best actress to Emma Stone (Poor Things).
Gomez shared the award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series with her Only Murder in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, neither of whom was present. The Only Murders cast had lost the last three years to the casts of Ted Lasso, Abbott Elementary and The Bear, respectively. (Other cast members who shared in the ensemble award this season were Michael Cyril Creighton, Zach Galifianakis, Richard Kind, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani and Molly Shannon.)
“We never win,” an amazed Gomez said as she accepted the award. “This is so weird. Marty [Short] and Steve [Martin] aren’t here because they don’t care,” she joked. “Thank you to Marty and Steve for helping to raise me. I’m bringing this back to New York as we begin to work on Season 5.”
Short won a second award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series.
Conclave won the SAG award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. The last three winners of the SAG cast award – CODA, Everything Everywhere All at Once and Oppenheimer – went on to win the Oscar for best picture, but over the entire history of the SAG Awards, the cast award has been only a so-so predictor of Oscar glory. Of the first 28 winners of the cast award, 15 went on to win best picture; 14 did not.
The best picture race has been especially hard to peg this year. At the Golden Globes, The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez were the winners for drama and musical or comedy, respectively. At the Critics Choice Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards, Anora won. (Anora also won at three major guild awards – the Producers Guild, Directors Guild and Writers Guild.) Conclave was the pick at the BAFTA Awards.
Wicked went 0-5 on the night.It had tied the all-time SAG record for most nominations by a film. Previous films that received five SAG Award nods were Chicago, Doubt, Shakespeare in Love, The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Shōgun was the top winner on the TV side, with four awards, including outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.
Actress and producer Kristen Bell hosted the annual ceremony, which bills itself as “the only awards show for actors, by actors.” Bell was nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series for the Netflix hit Nobody Wants This. Bell sang a parody version of her Frozen hit “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” titled “Do You Want to Be an Actor,” in which early photos of dozens of nominated actors were shown.
Several songs were featured during the show. The Diane Warren composition “The Journey,” sung by H.E.R. in the Netflix film The Six Triple Eight, soundtracked the In Memoriam segment. The song is nominated for an Oscar this year. Dolly Parton’s Billboard Hot 100-topping “9 to 5” was featured in the Fonda tribute. Marlena Shaw’s version of Ashford & Simpson’s “California Soul” was featured in a segment on Los Angeles.
There was a fun segment on the many young actors who played guest roles on the long-running Law and Order, including Keke Palmer, Chalamet and Sabrina Carpener.
The SAG Awards are voted on by SAG-AFTRA’s membership of 122,000+ performers, by far the largest voting body on the awards circuit.
Silent House Productions produced the telecast in partnership with SAG-AFTRA.
