Randy Rainbow has one word for Donald Trump following the U.S. Capitol riot: sedition.

On Friday (Jan. 8), the comedian returned with a hilarious new parody video blaming the president for the recent Capitol siege in Washington, D.C.

Set the the tune of “Tradition” from Fiddler on the Roof, the video — titled “Sedition!” — splices visuals of Randy singing as characters from the classic musical with audio clips of Trump claiming the presidential election was stolen from him and the resulting mob attack on the Capitol building.

“A Twittler With No Proof. Sounds like a horrible idea for a musical, no? Or at least a horrible idea for a president,” the satirist begins the video.

“Who would attempt to rally up a mob and try to stage a coup to steal a fair election,” he continues to sing over photos from the riot on Wednesday (Jan. 6).

This isn’t the first time Randy has used music from Fiddler on the Roof to skewer the president. In May, he also used “Tradition” for the parody titled “Distraction,” where he blasts Trump’s “Obamagate” conspiracy.

On Saturday, Jan. 9, Grimes took to Instagram Stories to reveal she has COVID-19. “Finally got COVID but weirdly enjoying the DayQuil fever dream … 2021″ she wrote, followed by a leaf and fairy emoji.

She posted the text over a screenshot of the single art for SZA’s latest one-off “Good Days,” encouraging fans and followers to listen as well, comparing the song to a series of space, heart, sparkle and dragon emojis.

Just last week, Grimes released the Rave Edition of her 2020 album Miss Anthropocene. The original album topped Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart in March and peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s Alternative Albums chart.

The country music community is mourning the loss of iconic singer-songwriter Ed Bruce.

Musicians like Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Jamey Johnson and The Oak Ridge Boys took to social media following the death of Bruce, who passed away Friday (Jan. 8) from natural causes at the age of 81.

“Just hearing that Ed Bruce passed away… What a stand alone voice he had,” Shelton tweeted in remembrance. “He’ll be remembered for his many talents including acting and maybe most important his songwriting… Rest In Peace cowboy. Im not loving 2021 so far.”

During his lengthy career, Bruce tallied 35 total hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, including “You’re the Best Break This Old Heart Ever Had” and “Walker’s Woods.” He’s perhaps best known for the classic composition “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” which he co-wrote with his former wife, Patsy.

The song was later covered by a number of country legends, including Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, whose duet version spent four weeks atop Hot Country Songs in 1978. Their version also crossed over onto the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 42.

“We lost another one of our great country singer songwriters today,” McGraw wrote on Twitter. “The man behind ‘Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys’ and more. So many cool records of his that I listened to growing up.”

Johnson also paid tribute to the late country star, tweeting, “Thank you Ed Bruce for all the years of dedication to country music that paved the way for songwriters like me. Hell of a run Sir.”

Happy birthday, Noah Cyrus!

Since her musical debut in 2016, the youngest Cyrus has developed her own sound and style, distinguishing herself as an artist separate from her famous family, and a rising pop force to be reckoned with.

In honor of her 21st birthday today (Jan. 8), Billboard has compiled 10 of Noah Cyrus’ best songs — from solo tracks to collaborations. See them below.

10. “fuckyounoah” 

Why We Love It: In one of Cyrus’ most candid tracks yet, the star gave fans a peek into her self-doubt and anxiety-ridden mind. “No one f–ks with me / ‘Cause no one ever f–king loves a b—h,” she proclaims on top of a stirring, London On Da Track-produced beat, making it a perfect, almost therapeutic song for scream-singing your insecurities away.

9. “All Falls Down” (with Alan Walker)

Why We Love It: “If it just ain’t right, and it’s time to say goodbye / When it all falls down, when it all falls down / I’ll be fine,” Cyrus sings in the glimmery dance track, marking one of the singer’s more hopeful perspectives on love. She assures herself that she’ll overcome any heartbreak, “and that’s that.”

8. “Young & Sad”

Why We Love It: Cyrus’ vulnerability shines through in this The End of Everything cut, in which she highlights her challenging upbringing as the little sister of superstar Miley Cyrus. “My sister’s like sunshine / Always bringing good light /Wherever she will go / And I was born to rain clouds,” she opens up in the second verse.”

Another member of her family, her father Billy Ray Cyrus, encourages her that “everything’s gonna be fine” in a touching voice memo that opens the track, showcasing how much Noah’s family is in her mind day-to-day.

7. “Mad at You” (with Gallant)

Why We Love It: Young love can be tough and highly passionate, and Cyrus encapsulates the whirlwind of emotions in her Good Cry highlight. The lead single from her 2018 EP featured soaring gospel-inspired harmonies and a heartfelt chorus, introducing a new, more mature side to the then-18-year-old.

6. “Again” (feat. XXXTentacion)

Why We Love It: Cyrus unveiled her collaboration with her friend XXXTentacion less than a year before his death in June 2018. The fiery track pairs Cyrus’ breathy vocals with XXX’s slurred, slow-burning verse about being “somewhere in between in love and broken.” Despite the controversy to include the embattled late rapper on her track, “Again” is one of Cyrus’ most notable turns away from her previously poppier tracks onto a darker path.

5. “Dunno”

Why We Love It: Noah took on the late Mac Miller’s sweet homage to staying in the moment with the one you love, in an effort to raise awareness for the Grammy-nominated MC’s Mac Miller Fund, which provides opportunities for youth in underserved communities through the arts. A good song for a good cause is a win-win in our book.

4. “Lonely”

Why We Love It: Cyrus’ heart-wrenching song about her struggles with depression is bolstered by an even more devastating music video directed by Symone Ridgell and the singer herself. In the clip, a chorus continually reaches out to try and help Cyrus, but she doesn’t seem to understand that they’re there — accurately portraying the feeling of being alone even when surrounded by people. “Help me, oh, please, someone help me,” her emotions shine through in the grand chorus. “I don’t care, anyone, anything/ ‘Cause I’m so sick of being so lonely.”

3. “I Got So High That I Saw Jesus”

Why We Love It: Cyrus’ country-infused voice is a perfect match for the folky nature of her The End of Everything standout. “I got so high that I saw Jesus / He said it’s all gonna be okay / You just need me in your heart / Tennessee Whiskey and love,” she assures in the soothing chorus. She later teamed up with Miley for a stunning duet version of the song at the latter’s MTV Unplugged performance.

2. “Make Me (Cry)” (with Labrinth)

Why We Love It: The 2016 collaboration with Labrinth introduced the world to Cyrus’ musical talents in a big way, showing off her impressive vocals at just 16 years old by belting about a love that’s toxic, but one that she can’t walk away from.

1. “July”

Why We Love It: “July” is a song so natural to Cyrus, it feels like it has always been a part of her. Like “Make Me (Cry),” the folk-infused ballad also showcases a toxic relationship — but this time more reflective and self-aware. “You remind me every day/ I’m not enough but I still stay,” she sings in the contemplative track.

Mexican Summer has removed Ariel Pink from its roster following his attendance at a pro-Trump rally outside the White House on Wednesday (Jan. 6).

The record label announced its decision via Twitter on Friday (Jan. 8), writing, “Due to recent events, Mexican Summer and its staff have decided to end our working relationship with Ariel Rosenberg AKA Ariel Pink moving forward.”

Mexican Summer was set to release Odditties Sodomies Vol. 1, Sit n’ SpinOdditties Sodomies Vol. 3, and Scared Famous/FF>> later this month, marking the final installments of its “Ariel Archives” series.

Billboard has reached out to both Mexican Summer and Pink’s reps for comment.

On Wednesday, documentary filmmaker Alex Lee Moyer posted a now-private Instagram picture of her with Pink and John Maus lounging on a hotel bed with the caption, “the day we almost died but instead had a great time.” She also posted a video of Maus watching crowds at the U.S. Capitol, where a crowd of Trump supporters violently stormed the building.

Pink clarified on Twitter that he was not a part of the mob because “I don’t and never have advocated for violent confrontation or rioting.”

“I was in dc to peacefully show my support for the president,” he added. “i attended the rally on the white house lawn and went back to hotel and took a nap. case closed.”

He continued arguing with Twitter user @yerbalove late into the night after she reposted Moyer’s photo. See below.
