For Chace, this is not only an exploration of musical styles, but also a significant milestone in his career. Born in 1998 into a musical family in Jiangsu, China, Chace (Zhu Yihan) received professional training in jazz drums and piano from an early age, showcasing extraordinary talent in music. He began producing music at the age of 9 and signed with a Dutch record label at 16, launching his career as a professional musician.
In 2016, he made his debut at Belgium’s Tomorrowland and, in 2017, became the first Chinese artist to perform on Tomorrowland’s main stage, forever changing the presence of Chinese artists on the global music scene. Since then, he has continued to shine as a DJ and producer at top-tier international music festivals such as EDC, Ultra and Creamfields. In 2024, Chace became the first Chinese artist to sign with one of North America’s major record labels, BMG, further showcasing his ability to transcend genres and boundaries with “Tunnel Vision.”
“Tunnel Vision” is a nostalgic pop electronic track, a tribute to Chace’s musical idol Michael Jackson. The song evokes memories of the golden 1980s, blending distinct rhythms and melodies with an infectious dance groove. Its polished production highlights Chace’s exceptional skills as a producer.
The music video for “Tunnel Vision” is equally innovative, directed and edited by Chace himself. Filmed entirely using an iPhone, it tells an eccentric story set three minutes before a train’s arrival. With its narrative charm, action sequences and high-speed shots, the music video delivers a visually compelling experience, pushing creative boundaries and demonstrating Chace’s burgeoning talent as a filmmaker.
“Tunnel Vision” is now available worldwide, but this is just the beginning of Chace’s musical journey. With more exciting projects on the horizon, he is poised to bring fresh, innovative works to his global audience.

Marilyn Manson has dropped his defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood and agreed to pay her $327,000 in legal fees, according to legal documents obtained by Billboard, officially ending a case that the shock rocker first lodged against his former girlfriend more than two and a half years ago.
Filed in March 2022, the lawsuit accused Wood of conspiring with another woman, Ashley Gore, to falsely portray Manson (real name Brian Warner) as a “rapist and abuser” in the public eye. Both women appeared in the 2022 documentary Phoenix Rising, in which Wood detailed her accusations of sexual abuse against the singer. The lawsuit claimed that both women “secretly recruited, coordinated, and pressured prospective accusers to emerge simultaneously with allegations of rape and abuse against Manson, and brazenly claim that it took 10 or more years to ‘realize’ their consensual relationships with Warner were supposedly abusive.”

A Timeline of Abuse Allegations Against Marilyn Manson
But Manson’s lawsuit suffered a major blow in May 2023 after a judge largely sided with Wood in her move to have it thrown out by invoking California’s anti-SLAPP statute, which makes it easier for judges to dismiss cases that threaten free speech. In that ruling, the judge struck down much of Manson’s case after finding that the rocker had not shown he would ultimately be able to prove many of his accusations against Wood. Manson had appealed that decision this past August.
“Marilyn Manson — whose real name is Brian Warner — filed a lawsuit against Ms. Wood as a publicity stunt to try to undermine the credibility of his many accusers and revive his faltering career,” Wood’s lawyer Michael J. Kump said in a statement sent to Billboard. “But his attempt to silence and intimidate Ms. Wood failed. As the trial court correctly found, Warner’s claims were meritless. Warner’s decision to finally abandon his lawsuit and pay Ms. Wood her full fee award of almost $327,000 only confirms as much.”
In his own statement, Manson’s attorney Howard King said, “After 4 years of fighting a battle where he was able to tell the truth, Brian is pleased to dismiss his still-pending claims and appeal in order to close the door on this chapter of his life.”
The public battle between Manson and Wood kicked off in February 2021, when Wood claimed in an Instagram post that Manson “started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years.” In addition to Wood’s accusations, Manson has been hit with multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits over the last several years from women including former assistant Ashley Walters, model Ashley Morgan Smithline, Game of Thrones actress Esme Bianco and two Jane Doe accusers.
The majority of these cases are no longer active. In May 2022, a judge dismissed Walters’ lawsuit, citing the statute of limitations. Manson subsequently settled with both Bianco and one of the Jane Doe accusers, while Smithline recanted her allegations and claimed that Wood and others had “manipulated” her into bringing them.
Manson has denied all of the allegations against him.
U2’s next album could be something of another sonic left turn, if comments from founding guitarist The Edge are to be believed.
The veteran guitarist spoke to BBC Radio 2‘s Jo Whiley on Monday (Nov. 25) to discuss the recent release of How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb, a 20th anniversary collection of unreleased tracks and rarities from the band’s 2004 album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
During the discussion, The Edge turned his attention to recent creative endeavors from the Irish outfit, explaining that he and frontman Bono and had recently in the studio with ambient pioneer (and previous collaborator) Brian Eno, working on some “crazy new music”.
“Bono and I are working on some crazy kind of sci-fi Irish folk music,” he explained. “Which could end up becoming a part of the new U2 album. We’re not sure yet, we’ll see.”
“Part of our kind of process is to go so widely away from, off track, and the sort of the process of bringing things back on track is kind of how you get sort of unique sounding music.”
Adding that “a bunch [of] beautiful, Irish musicians” could also be involved in the process, the guitarist’s comments indicate a vast change in the band’s sound when compared to what has come recently. Their latest album of new material, Songs of Experience, arrived in 2017, with 2023’s Songs of Surrender arriving as a follow-up despite consisting of new recordings of previously-released songs.
However, in 2023, Bono explained that a “noisy, uncompromising, unreasonable” rock album would be their next project, ostensibly replacing the apparently-shelved Songs of Ascent, which had been teased for more than a decade.
“I don’t think the world is waiting on the next U2 album,” Bono told Mojo. “I think we have to give them a reason to be interested in it. I just want to write great tunes because that’s where U2 started – with big choruses, clear ideas. And let’s go back there, but do it with some petrol and some matches.”
“We’re at that great phase where we don’t have to overthink it, we’re just making music and loving that process,” The Edge noted. “And then we’ll figure out where things belong afterwards so there’s a couple of different projects.
“Definitely U2, with Larry which is wonderful, we’ve got him in the studio,” he continues. “He’s good, he’s taking it easy but he’s back in the saddle on the drums still doing some recording with us and so we’ll be doing a bit more of that before the end of the year.”

Warner Music Group’s Australasian head has expanded his role, the company has announced.
Dan Rosen, who currently serves as President of Warner Music Australasia, has now expanded his role to encompass Warner Chappell Music, lengthening his job title to President, Records And Publishing, Australasia.
Per a press release, the move underscores WMG’s commitment to creating a “new, all-encompassing home for artists and songwriters in Australasia” while still preserving each division’s distinct identities.
As part of his expanded role, Rosen will report to both Guy Moot, Co-Chair and CEO of Warner Chappell Music, and Simon Robson, President of EMEA, Recorded Music, WMG, who is currently also overseeing the recorded music business in APAC.

“The rosters of songwriters at Warner Chappell Music is exceptional, and I look forward to expanding its repertoire and reach across Australasia, positioning it for exciting new growth and opportunities.”
Outside of music, Rosen is also a qualified lawyer and policy expert who previously served as a senior advisor to the Australian Government and pursued post-graduate studies on a Fulbright Scholarship at New York University. Returning to Australia in 2010, Dan served as CEO of the Australian recording industry’s peak bodies ARIA and PPCA.
Taking on the role of Warner Music Australasia President in 2021, his tenure at the company has resulted in significant growth in its domestic and international revenues. Alongside deals with names such as Brad Cox and James Johnson, and championing the careers of Budjerah, Kita Alexander and Oliver Cronin, Rosen has also showcases his dedication to breaking international acts such as Benson Boone, Charli XCX, Fred again.. and Teddy Swims within the region.
His work as a prominent industry figure has also seen Rosen named on Billboard’s prestigious International Power Players List for three consecutively across 2022, 2023, and 2024.
“Dan’s passion for music, his deep understanding of the industry and his experience across law, policy and artist advocacy, as well as his career as a songwriter, give him a unique skill set to lead both strong, distinctive divisions of recorded music and publishing,” Moot added in a statement.
“The Australasian music industry is both dynamic and diverse, and over the last few years we’ve worked hard to grow a frontline roster from scratch – I’m delighted Dan will be building on this with his holistic vision for the region.”
“Dan has been an exceptional leader for Warner Music Australasia, constantly pushing the envelope and championing the careers of artists and songwriters,” echoed Robson. “This expanded role will enable him to strengthen our entire proposition in the region and set a new standard for how we serve the creative community.”

Guitar manufacturer Gibson has issued a cease-and-desist against the branding agency behind a line of guitars endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump, alleging the design infringes the company’s trademarks, Billboard has confirmed.
The cease-and-desist against 16 Creative alleges the guitar line infringes on its trademark for the “iconic Les Paul body shape,” a Gibson spokesperson tells Billboard. Trump is not specifically targeted by the order.

The (Not So) Great Disruption: TikTok, Copyright and What the Trump Administration Means…
The “Trump Guitars” — adorned with a bald eagle, an American flag, Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan and the number “45” in reference to Trump’s first term — were unveiled by Trump on Wednesday (Nov. 20) via a post on his Truth Social platform. The line boasts both acoustic and electric versions in various colors for $1,250 and $1,500, respectively, while other models including Trump’s signature retail for between $10,250 and $11,500. According to the website, a total of 1,275 guitars were manufactured, with several body styles already out of stock.
Trump’s exact involvement in the guitar line, listed for sale at the website GetTrumpGuitars.com, is unclear. The website notes simply that the guitars are the only ones “officially endorsed by President Donald J. Trump.” It also states that all of the guitars were “custom designed and developed by a Veteran owned company with the help of a master luthier.” It adds that the guitars were “manufactured by multiple providers and include parts/features that are both domestic and international.”
Neither 16 Creative nor a Trump campaign spokesperson immediately responded to Billboard‘s requests for comment.

Turn around, bright eyes, because Jason Kelce put his spin on a 1983 classic.
In a now-viral TikTok with 1.3 million views at the time of publication, the former Philadelphia Eagles center is seen at an Appalachian State University tailgate, standing in a circle of students performing karaoke. His song of choice was Bonnie Tyler’s Hot 100 chart-topping hit, “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” and the students cheered along as he belted the cinematic chorus.
It’s a particularly musical era for Kelce, who recently released his A Philly Special Christmas Party alongside his Eagles’ offensive tackles teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, marking the group’s third charitable holiday album. The festive set of tracks features the previously released collaboration with Jason, his brother Travis Kelce and Boyz II Men, “It’s Christmastime (In Cleveland Heights).” It also includes Jason’s team-up with Stevie Nicks on the cover of Ron Sexsmith’s “Maybe This Christmas.”
The 12-song album also features a sweet collaboration between Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, called “Loud Little Town,” an original song written by Brandon Beaver.
Proceeds from the album will be used to fund Operation Snowball, a new and ambitious initiative launched alongside The Fund for the School District of Philadelphia to that aims to give a gift to every student in the Philadelphia public school system. Additionally, The Philly Specials will be donating to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Snowflake Station and the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center Toy Drive.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From ROSÉ, Jack Harlow, ‘Wicked’ and More
The poll featured competition from various music genres, and Wizkid’s new song collection brought in an impressive 78% of the vote. Voters this week chose Morayo over new music releases from ROSÉ, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Quevedo, Miguel and Jelly Roll — and even the soundtrack to the box office hit Wicked, featuring lead vocals from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
Wizkid’s Morayo, released via Starboy Entertainment and RCA Records, is dedicated to the Nigerian artist’s late mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun. The Yoruba word Morayo translates to “I see joy.”
“It’s very, very personal,” he said of the album’s material, in an interview with Esquire over the summer. “I hope it lifts spirits and spreads positive energy.”
The 16-song set features collaborations with Jazmine Sullivan, Brent Faiyaz, Asake, Anaïse and Tiakola, and is the follow-up to 2022’s More Love, Less Ego, which peaked at No. 2 on the World Albums chart and No. 59 on the Billboard 200.
Morayo lead single “Piece of My Heart,” featuring Brent Faiyaz, was released ahead of the album in October, reaching No. 4 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and No. 7 on World Digital Song Sales.
Among the new music trailing behind Morayo on this week’s poll is ROSÉ’s solo single “Number One Girl,” which came in second place, and Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album GNX, which came in third.

Jay-Z was in the house to watch the Washington Commanders face off against the Dallas Cowboys.
The 54-year-old music mogul, whose Roc Nation has a partnership with the NFL, attended Sunday’s (Nov. 24) game at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., alongside Fanatics founder/CEO Michael Rubin.

Lil Wayne Seemingly Responds to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Wacced Out Murals’ Mention: ‘I Shall Destroy If…
Ahead of the matchup, Jay-Z — dressed in a sleek black sweater, long gray coat, dark pants and a large beanie — was spotted chatting on the sidelines with Commanders general manager Adam Peters.
Before the Commanders were sold in 2023, Jay was among several high-profile figures, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and media mogul Byron Allen, who expressed interest in purchasing the team, according to Sports Illustrated. Ultimately, the team was sold to investor Josh Harris for a reported $6.05 billion.
Jay-Z’s presence at the game left many fans on social media curious about his allegiance. “Jay-Z at a Commanders game is random, but I’m not surprised,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another posted, “Jay-Z at the Commanders vs Cowboys game… wild. I wonder who he’s rooting for?” That sentiment was echoed by another user, who asked on X, “When did Jay-Z become a Commanders fan???”
Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that Jay and the NFL are continuing their partnership. At the NFL owners’ meeting in Atlanta on Oct. 15, Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “It’s been a mutually positive relationship, I’m not sure either one of us really spend much time talking about contracts. Jay is happy. Desiree Perez is happy. I’m happy, so we’re all good.”
According to ESPN, Roc Nation’s previous deal with the NFL, valued at $25 million over five years, has included overseeing the Super Bowl Halftime Show and supporting the league’s social justice initiative, Inspire Change, which has awarded $375 million in grants.
The partnership has sparked its share of controversy since its announcement in the summer of 2019. Jay-Z faced backlash for aligning with a league that had been accused of blackballing former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality. More recently, Jay-Z faced criticism from some in the hip-hop community after it was announced that Kendrick Lamar — not Lil Wayne — would headline this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans.
Under Jay-Z and Roc Nation’s stewardship, the Super Bowl Halftime Show has featured a string of hip-hop centric acts, including Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, The Weeknd, Dr. Dre and friends, Rihanna and Usher. This year’s show, featuring Lamar, is highly anticipated as he aims to cap off a stellar year with a headline performance.
