J. Cole enters the TikTok Billboard Top 50, along with girl in red and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but who takes No. 1? Keep watching to find out!
Tetris Kelly: A 20-year-old hit takes the top spot, while two new tracks break into the top 10. “Maps” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs jumps 20 spots to No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for the chart posting Oct. 10. The song, which released back in 2003, is tied to a filter where users try to line up the features on their face as they fall from the sky. Girl in Red’s “We Fell in Love in October” re-enters the chart at No. 4. It’s become an annual tradition thanks to its title. Last year the song peaked at No. 5.
Our final track to make its way into the top 10 this week is “She Knows” by J. Cole, Amber Coffman and The Cults. Users have been using the track in relation to the recent arrest and allegations against Diddy.

More than two months after a Taylor Swift-themed children’s dance class became the site of a deadly stabbing — in which three children died and several more people were injured — Prince William and Kate Middleton visited Southport, England, on Thursday (Oct. 10) to join the town in paying respects to the victims and their families.

Taylor Swift ‘Completely in Shock’ After Deadly Stabbings at Dance Class Celebrating…
According to People, the royal couple met privately with the families of the three young girls who were killed in the July 29 attack, as well as the dance teacher who was there when it occurred. Eight other children and two adults were also injured in the mass stabbing, for which a 17-year-old knifeman has since been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also reportedly spoke with the Southport first responders who were dispatched to the crime scene about how the traumatizing experience impacted their mental health — a timely topic of discussion, given that Oct. 10 is World Mental Health Day.
“A heartfelt thank you to the people of Southport for talking about your experiences and honouring the young lives lost,” reads a message on Will and Kate’s official Instagram, alongside a video of footage from the couple’s visit. “In the face of tragedy, this community’s strength and resilience has been a powerful reminder of the bonds that unite us. As the healing continues, take comfort in the incredible support around you. Each shared memory, act of kindness, and moment of unity brings hope for the future and ensures that those lost are never forgotten.”
The outing marked Middleton’s first public engagement since announcing in September that she’d completed chemotherapy. Six months prior, the princess revealed that she’d been diagnosed with cancer and would be undergoing treatment.
Before the royal couple’s visit to Southport, Swift also met with families affected by the attack backstage at one of her August Eras Tour shows in London. In July, the pop star wrote that she was “completely in shock” over the tragedy in a statement shared to her Instagram, adding that the “horror” of the violence was “washing over [her] continuously.”
“The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders,” she added at the time. “These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”

In the two years that the Recording Academy has presented a Grammy for songwriter of the year, non-classical, four women have been nominated for the award. Amy Allen, Nija Charles and Laura Veltz were nominated in the category’s inaugural year. Jessie Jo Dillon was nominated at the ceremony in February.

Men won both years. Tobias Jesso Jr. won in 2023 for writing songs by such artists as Harry Styles, Adele and FKA Twigs. Theron Thomas won earlier this year for writing songs by such artists as Lil Durk featuring J. Cole, Tyla and Chlöe.
The list of 61 songwriters vying for nominations in that category this year includes 20 women, one of whom may make history as the first woman to win in the category.
The list includes two women who have already won Grammys – Allen, who won album of the year in 2023 for her songwriting contributions to Harry Styles’ Harry’s House, and Diane Warren, who won best song written specifically for a motion picture or for television in 1997 for “Because You Loved Me” from the Michelle Pfeiffer film Up Close and Personal.
This year’s entry list also includes eight women who have been nominated for one or more Grammys, but have yet to win – Dillon, Sarah Aarons, Caroline Ailin, Jessi Alexander, Brittany Amaradio (aka Delacey), Ink (Atia Boggs), Ali Tamposi and Emily Warren.
The list also includes 10 women who are vying for their first Grammy nomination – Elizabeth Lowell Boland, Jessie Early, Julia Gargano, Sarah Hudson, Lauren Lee Hungate, Steph Jones, Kayla Morrison, RAYE, Sasha Alex Sloan and Betsy Walter.
You may be surprised to see RAYE on the list, due to the academy’s focus in this category on non-artists. To qualify for the award, writers “must have written a minimum of five songs in which they are credited solely as a songwriter or co-writer” (and not also as a primary or featured artist, or producer). But if they meet that threshold, they may also have written or co-written tracks on which they were the artist.
RAYE qualified because in addition to writing for herself, she writes for other artists. Her entries this year include Rita Ora’s “Ask & You Shall Receive,” Halle’s “Because I Love You,” Jennifer Lopez’s “Dear Ben Pt. II,” Beyoncé’s “Riiverdance,” and Neiked’s “You’re Hired” (featuring Ayra Starr).
Nominated songwriters can come from any musical field, except classical. Those composers are recognized in the best contemporary classical composition category.
Will any of these women be nominated for songwriter of the year, non-classical? We’ll find out on Nov. 8 when the nominees are announced. Winners will be revealed on Feb. 2.
As a bonus, here are the first women to win in 10 other songwriting categories at the Grammys.
Song of the year: Carole King in 1972 for writing “You’ve Got a Friend,” which was featured on her Tapestry album and was also a No. 1 Hot 100 hit for James Taylor. It took a while for a woman to win this award: This was the category’s 14th year. King later also became the first woman to win the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
Best rock song: Alanis Morisette in 1996 for co-writing “You Oughta Know,” the most incendiary track on her Jagged Little Pill album, with Glen Ballard. This was the category’s fifth year.
Best R&B song: Betty Wright in 1976, for co-writing her track “Where Is the Love” with Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch (both of KC and the Sunshine Band) and Willie Clarke. Note: This is not the far more famous Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway song of the same title, but confusion with that classic may have worked to this song’s benefit. This was the category’s eighth year.
Best rap song: Miri Ben Ari in 2005, for co-writing Ye’s “Jesus Walks” with Che Smith and Kanye West (as Ye was then known). This was the category’s second year.
Best country song: Debbie Hupp in 1980, for co-writing the Kenny Rogers ballad hit “You Decorated My Life” with Bob Morrison. This was the category’s 16th year.
Best song written for visual media: Cynthia Weil in 1988, for co-writing the Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram hit “Somewhere Out There” (from An American Tail) with her husband and longtime collaborator Barry Mann and film composer James Horner. This was the category’s first year. (The ballad also won song of the year.)
Best American roots song: Edie Brickell in 2014 for cowriting “Love Has Come for You” with Steve Martin. They also recorded the song. This was the category’s first year.
Best gospel song: Yolanda Adams in 2006 for cowriting her track “Be Blessed” with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and James Q. Wright. This was the category’s first year. The award is now known as best gospel performance/song.
Best contemporary Christian song: Laura Story in 2012 for writing her own track “Blessings.” This was the category’s third year. The award is now known as best contemporary Christan music performance/song.
Best contemporary classical composition: Joan Tower in 2008 for composing “Made in America.” This was the category’s 30th year.

Pharrell Williams is the latest guest to test his taste buds on Hot Ones, and while he was feeling the heat of the increasingly spicy chicken wings before him, the multi-hyphenate artist opened up about working with some of his long list of collaborators.
When host Sean Evans asked him about his teenage years “jamming out” with soon-to-be fellow superstars like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, the Clipse and more, Williams that it felt like “kids having fun.”
He continued, “We didn’t know where it was going to end up. That’s the thing, falling in love with the process. It’s not necessarily the ‘there,’ it’s the ‘getting there,’ it’s the ‘going,’ it’s the process, it’s the journey.”
Later on in the interview, Evans listed off some of Williams collaborators, and challenged him to share his first thought about them in the studio. With Daft Punk, Williams noted that being in the studio with a “robot” is “euphoric, because you’re around two absolute masters.”
Beck, Williams says, is “one of the most eclectic people with one of the deepest mental libraries of all kinds of records,” calling him a “walking almanac.” He wrapped up by calling N.O.R.E. “so funny, bombastic with the energy he wants to evoke when he’s making a song.”
Beyond releasing his biographical Lego film, Piece by Piece, on Oct. 11, it’s gearing up to be an exciting next few months for Williams. The star will serve as a co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala among a group of Black men including Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and honorary chair LeBron James.
This year’s theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
Williams’ Something in the Water festival will also return in April 2025 after being postponed last month. “Dearest Virginia, I love you with all my heart,” he wrote in a statement at the time. “Nobody loves you more than I do. Virginia doesn’t deserve better, Virginia deserves THE BEST. So SOMETHING IN THE WATER has to match that. It just isn’t ready yet.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs will stand trial on May 5 in his racketeering and sex trafficking case, a federal judge ruled at a court hearing on Thursday (Oct. 10).
The order from Judge Arun Subramanian — who replaced Judge Andrew L. Carter as the presiding judge last week and will handle the eventual trial — was issued from the bench and reported by the Associated Press and other outlets.

What’s Left of Diddy’s Assets?
The trial date is in line with what the rapper’s legal team wanted. In court documents Wednesday (Oct. 9), they said they were continuing to assert his constitutional right to a speedy trial and would be seeking to get the case before a jury in April or May.
Though a trial date is now set, the schedule could still be pushed back, particularly if prosecutors file new charges or add defendants to the case. It could also be delayed if Combs eventually waives his speedy trial right to give his team more time to prepare — a decision that might hinge on whether he’s granted bail in a pending appeal.
When he does stand trial, Combs will face charges of racketeering and sex trafficking over what prosecutors say was a sprawling criminal operation aimed at satisfying his need for “sexual gratification.” The decades-long scheme allegedly involved not only elaborate sexual parties called “freak offs” and other sex abuse, but also forced labor, kidnapping, arson and bribery.
“For decades, Sean Combs … abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct,” prosecutors wrote in their indictment last month. “To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources and the influence of his multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled.”
Thursday’s hearing came less than 24 hours after Combs’ lawyers accused the government of leaking evidence to the media, including the infamous surveillance video of Combs assaulting then-girlfriend Cassie in 2016.
At Thursday’s hearing, according to AP, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson pushed back on those “baseless” claims, saying it was simply an effort by Combs’ lawyers to prevent jurors from seeing the “damning” Cassie video: “Not a single one of those alleged leaks are from members of the prosecution team,” Johnson said.
The next court date for Combs’ case is currently set for December.

“I’m so excited about the Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott x Lainey Wilson collection,” Wilson said in a statement. “It was inspired by the lyrics ‘fly me to the stars, fly me to the moon’ from my song ‘4x4xU’, and the collection truly captures the dreamer’s spirit. I can’t wait to see everyone wearing it on their own adventures.”
The Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott collection pays homage to Texas, where jewelry designer Kendra Scott moved with her family as a teenager.
“We launched Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott in 2023 as a heartfelt tribute to my deep love for Texas,” said Scott, the jewelry brand’s founder and chief creative officer. “Collaborating with Lainey on our first celebrity partnership through Yellow Rose feels like the perfect match.

Elle King just gave an update on her relationship with dad Rob Schneider — not that there’s much to say.
While stopping by Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, the 35-year-old singer/songwriter revealed that even she isn’t certain where things stand with the comedian after he publicly apologized for his “shortcomings” as a father in an August interview with Tucker Carlson. “Umm, I’m not sure,” King said when asked about the current state of their relationship. “I haven’t spoken to him.”

The “Ex’s & Oh’s” musician did confirm, however, that she watched Schneider’s apology to her — not that she stayed tuned for the rest of Carlson’s interview with the Deuce Bigalow actor. “I think it was like two hours long, so no,” she said. “Nobody wants to listen to that. But I did see his apology, yeah. Of course I watched that, yeah.”
The talk-show appearance comes about two months after King slammed her famous father for being “toxic” on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, on which the four-time Grammy nominee also accused Schneider of sending her to “fat camp,” forgetting her birthdays and being overall absent from her life as she was growing up. A couple of days later, Schneider appeared on Carlson’s YouTube show and directly addressed his daughter, whom he had with model London King.
“I wish I was the father in my 20s that you needed, and clearly, I wasn’t,” he said at the time. “I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings. “I feel terrible, and I just want you to know that I don’t take anything you say personally.”
About a month after that, King once again spoke about her father. “I was just speaking about my childhood and about my truth,” she told People in September of her Dumb Blonde appearance. “I was not trying to hurt him.”
“A lot of people said, ‘How could she say that about her family?’ and ‘Everything needs to be behind closed doors.’ No, it doesn’t,” she continued at the time. “Sometimes you have to just say things and get them off your chest so that you don’t have to carry it for the rest of your life.”

Reviewers can’t get enough of the memoir with one Amazon shopper saying it “tells some incredible stories, but it also includes some great life lessons about resilience, redemptions, and suffering.
In addition to the lows, the punk rockstar experienced unforgettable moments like “winning at the MTV Video Music Awards and being nominated for a Grammy,” the official description states. Plus, he’ll revisit some of his high-profile relationships including with Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne.
