After two weeks away from No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps” is atop the survey yet again, zooming 5-1 on the Dec. 14-dated tally.

Beyonce’s ‘Diva’ Hits New TikTok Billboard Top 50 Peak as Yeah Yeah Yeahs…
The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity from Dec. 2-8. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.
“Maps,” released in 2003 as part of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ debut album Fever to Tell, initially reigned on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for seven weeks between the surveys dated Oct. 12 and Nov. 23. It fell to No. 10 on the Nov. 30 chart, but just when it seemed like its rule was over, it rebounded to No. 5 last week, followed by its latest coronation.
In all, “Maps” now boasts eight weeks at No. 1, second most since the chart began in September 2023 behind the 10-week run of Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” this year.
Despite the rebound, the trends driving “Maps” remain the same as they did upon its initial ascent. The song’s chief driver is a dance, often set to a sped-up version of the tune. A variety of different mixes of the song, including a Jersey club one, also exist, generally using the sped-up vocals. While the dance represents most of the high-performing uploads these days, creators have also used “Maps” to soundtrack a trend where they use a filter to remove their facial features and then have them cascade back down onto their face.
“Maps” reigns over a brand-new entry on the chart in the I’ll Take You There Choir’s version of “Like a Prayer,” recorded for the movie Deadpool & Wolverine. A choir version of Madonna’s three-week No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from 1989, the sound has been used in a variety of edits (often to make a scene more dramatic), while a more recent trend tells a story while slowing zooming in on the face of Pepe from The Muppets.

Tyler, the Creator’s “Like Him,” featuring Lola Young, jumps to a new peak of No. 3 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, while Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” breaks into the top five for the first time this holiday season, rising 7-4. “Like Him” initially bowed at No. 6 on the Nov. 9 ranking and experienced a previous best of No. 4 the following week. More recently, creators have also used the sound to recap their 2024s, while another cuts in dialogue from the Spider-Verse franchise.
Besides “Like a Prayer,” one other song debuts in the top 10: Malcolm Todd’s “Chest Pain,” which starts at No. 6. The newly released song (Dec. 4) was teased on TikTok for weeks prior to its official premiere, and many of the top-performing uploads feature creators showing off their loved ones. The song racked up 557,000 official U.S. streams in just two days (Dec. 4-5) of its first Billboard tracking week.
Ariana Grande’s “Sweetener” also hits the top 10 for the first time, leaping 15-10 in its second week on the tally. The title track from Grande’s 2018 album (No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a week that September) has a dance-related trend attached, with two people trading off different moves. It helps drive “Sweetener” to a 74% gain in listens to 1.1 million streams.

You better believe Nick Cannon knows all about the magic of Christmas. The host of The Voice was, after all, married to the Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, for six years. Plus, with a dozen children on his nice list, shopping for holiday gifts is probably a part-time job for the always-hustling radio/TV star.

He slowed down recently, though, to make a special holiday memory with three of his brood — three-year-old twins Zillion and Zion and two-year-old daughter Beautiful – when the fam got together for a traditional Christmas holiday photo shoot with Santa. In the snap uploaded on Wednesday (Dec. 11), Cannon and the children’s mother, Abby De La Rosa, gather around, with Cannon holding Zion and Beautiful on his lap, while De La Rosa has a smiling Zillion sitting on her lap in the snap captioned, “The magic of Christmas is FAMILY.”
Cannon first became a dad when he and Carey welcoming their twins, Moroccan and Monroe, in 2011, followed by Golden Sagon in February 2017 with Brittany Bell, Powerful Queen with Bell in December 2020 and the couple’s third child, Rise Messiah, in September 2022. Next were Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with De La Rosa in June 2021, Zen with Alyssa Scott in June 2021, Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi in July 2022 and Onxy Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole in September 2022. De La Rosa and Cannon said hello to their third baby, Beautiful Zeppelin, in November 2022, followed by his second child with Scott, Halo Marie, in December 2022.
That might explain why Cannon insured his “family jewels” for $10 million in June in a promotion with Dr. Squatch’s Ball Valuation Tool.

The gift to her hometown college will go toward benefiting the Criminal Justice Clinic, which will now be able to hire a full-time director and see expanded services poured into the program. With a full-time faculty, more students will be able to enroll in the clinic in future semesters.
“I am delighted that the BeyGood Foundation has made this very generous gift to the UH Law Center,” Leonard Baynes, who serves as dean of the UH Law Center, said in a statement. “Not only will this funding help establish a full-time criminal justice clinic that provides pro bono legal services in our community, but it will also supercharge our already excellent criminal law and justice programming.”
With the added resources, the Criminal Justice Clinic will up efforts to assist communities and underserved areas surrounding the University of Houston.
Baynes continued: “At UH Law, we envision a legal profession where ‘everyone has the opportunity to prosper,’ as BeyGood envisions, and we will achieve this vision by providing access to strong and effective legal representation in criminal proceedings. And together, through this gift, the BeyGood Foundation and UHLC will shepherd the next generation of criminal justice attorneys in the city of Houston, the state of Texas and the nation.”
Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD Foundation has donated $100,000 to the UH Law Center, funding a full-time Criminal Justice Clinic director and expanded services for underserved communities.
Launched in 2013, Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation aims to support various organizations and uplift communities to economic prosperity, well-being and more.
It’s a busy close to 2024 for Bey. She pulled up to the Mufasa: The Lion King premierein Los Angeles earlier this week with her family. While the Grammy-winning artist is reprising her role as Nala, daughter Blue Ivy is making her feature film debut as Kiara, Nala and Simba’s daughter.
“Seeing Blue as Kiara and hearing her voice come out of that character,” Bey said on Good Morning America, “it was really hard to focus and do my job after that. I was like, ‘Wait, hold up, guys. Y’all gotta give me a second. I have to digest that.’ I’m so proud of her.”

Quando Rondo was sentenced to federal prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to a federal drug offense in Georgia.
The rapper, whose given name is Tyquian Terrel Bowman, was sentenced to two years and nine months imprisonment by U.S. District Court judge in his hometown of Savannah, local news outlets reported.
Bowman, 25, pleaded guilty in August to a single count of conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana. Prosecutors agreed to drop additional criminal counts in a December indictment that charged Bowman with conspiring with others to possess and distribute drugs including methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine and marijuana.
After his plea hearing last summer, Bowman apologized publicly to the people of Savannah and his family.
As Quando Rondo, the rapper’s singles “I Remember” and “ABG” led to a deal with Atlantic Records, which released his debut album, QPac, in 2020. His follow-up album, Recovery, came out last year.

Mariah Carey will help the NFL kick off its first-ever Christmas Gameday on Netflix on Dec. 25. The streamer announced on Thursday (Dec. 21) that MC will star in the opening segment setting up the day’s two games with a pre-taped performance of her perennial holiday season chart-topper “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
Her song will pave the way for a showdown between Super Bowl champs the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Baltimore Ravens taking on the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET. In keeping with tradition, the Netflix Christmas Day games will also air on broadcast TV in the competing team cities (CBS affiliates in K.C., Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Houston) and be available on U.S. mobile devices on NFL+.
The good news for Lambs came just hours after some bad news about Carey’s Christmas Time holiday tour. Shortly before showtime on Wednesday (Dec. 11), MC told fans that she would have to cancel that night’s gig at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh due to illness. Pittsburgh, I am sorry to say, I’ve come down with the flu,” the singer wrote. “It breaks my heart that I unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. I love you all so much.” The arena posted a note just before Carey’s announcing the cancellation and telling fans that they will receive an email with refund options.
Mariah isn’t the only music superstar who will be taking the stage on Christmas. On Wednesday, Beyoncé dropped a new teaser for her upcoming NFL halftime show in which she steps into a snowy scene and hangs an ornament on a cactus while wearing an all-white outfit featuring a cowboy hat, furry jacket and boots. Bey will perform at her hometown NRG Stadium in Houston before the Texans/Ravens game, marking her first live set since the release of her Billboard 200-topping Cowboy Carter album.

When Martyn Stewart was 11 years old, he spent countless hours in the woods near his family’s home in Birmingham, England. It was the mid 1960s, and out there in the untouched forest he was captivated by the sounds of nature: the wind, the animals, the water in the streams.

It was around this time that he acquired a recording device and brought it outside. “The first recording I ever made that I kept was the Eurasian Blackbird,” Stewart says today. “He became my mate. He was the guy who taught me melodies.”
Decades later, Stewart’s collection of nature sounds includes 97,000 individual recordings making up 30,000 hours. (That’s roughly 3.5 years.) The library includes the sounds of more than 3,500 bird species, countless insects, and myriad frogs, toads, mammals, trees, deserts, oceans and more, with Stewart capturing these field recordings in more than 60 countries.
Now, a select few of them are folded into Imperfect Cadence, a collaborative album by Stewart and Robert Shields, a Scottish singer, songwriter and producer who makes music under the moniker ONR. On the album, Shields sings and plays instruments that complement and fuse with sounds Stewart recorded in Scotland during the mid-1970s, a time he spent traveling across the country — often on foot — recording the symphony of its vast, untouched and famously stunning wilderness.
It was “a sanctuary where I could go and lose myself, basically,” Stewart says. “Anywhere you dropped a microphone, you got a fantastic recording.” (Years later, when he was in his late 20s, Stewart learned that his biological father was Scottish, which he believes accounts for his affinity for the country.)
Martyn Shields in the 1970s
Shields got involved in the project through Steven Melrose, the global head of creative at Los Angeles-based publishing company Seeker Music, who is also Scottish. Melrose was working with ONR when he was approached by Stewart’s niece, Amanda, who was hoping to mesh her uncle’s recordings with music in a respectful and contemporary way. Melrose introduced Shields and Stewart, and it was decided — given everyone’s connection to Scotland — the project would focus there.
Shields and Stewart subsequently met on Zoom to chat about making something together. Shields found himself entranced by Stewart’s life story and work. “The real kicker was when he then sent me the audio, which is just unbelievable,” Shields says.

Recordings include those Stewart made in areas around the famously picturesque Rannoch Moor, Culloden Moor, the site of a famous 1746 battle, and while walking along Hadrian’s Wall, an ancient Roman stone fortification dating back to 122 AD. “You kind of get into that mood of desolation and isolation,” Stewart says of being in these locations, even just through the audio. “You almost feel your primal self again. You can feel the blood pulsing through your veins.”
“The last thing I wanted to do was to take the audio and to mutilate it,” says Shields. “It was so beautiful in its raw form that I knew I had to treat it as a collaborator and not as a canvas.” Both artists were conscious of not wanting make “spa music, or something a little bit trite,” Shields adds.
Rannoch Moor, Scotland
Imperfect Cadence is far from it. From the bird calls playing in tandem with Shield’s rich voice on the stirring opener “You & I” to the gentle waves on the orchestral “Than Water,” the project is a sophisticated and moving balance of input from both artists. “It was a genuine collaboration with the sort of oddity that Martyn wasn’t contributing musically,” says Shields. “He was contributing to the overall atmosphere and theme.”
Imperfect Cadence was released Dec. 5 on Seeker Music, with the company’s Melrose saying that given the album’s beauty, power and emotional depth he “couldn’t be prouder to be part of it alongside Martyn and Robert. Nature loves us unconditionally — we would do well to show it more love in return.”
Nature has indeed taken a hard hit in the decades since Stewart began recording it. Imperfect Cadence presents moments from the natural world that in many cases no longer exist due to subsequent human development and the noisy hum of traffic and people that it brings.
“Two-thirds of my archive is now extinct,” says Stewart. “We think of dinosaurs and dodos and Irish Elks being extinct, but we don’t look at sound as something that can disappear. But you can’t replicate what I’ve done. You can’t drop a microphone in the Serengeti and get what I did 20 years ago, because now there’s a road going through it.”

In more ways than one, Stewart understands what it’s like to look extinction in the eye. Three years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer and given three to five years to live. These days he says he’s largely “bungee-corded to a hospital,” although when we speak, he’s in Louisiana on an expedition to make field recordings on the bayou. He’s planning to return to both Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Scotland’s Outer Hebrides islands to record.
“I’d like to go back to places to hear how much things have changed,” he says. “And I aim to. I’m living with cancer. I’m not dying with cancer.”
Imperfect Cadence is only one component of Stewart’s significant contribution to natural history, recorded sound and people interested in both. Roughly a decade ago, he was offered “a huge amount of money for the archive” by a company that makes videogame consoles. “I asked them where the library was going to end up, and they said it would be in a basement somewhere,” he recalls. “That was just absolutely a definite no.”

Nature, Now An Artist on DSPs, Has Generated $225,000 for Conservation Efforts in Colombia
Instead, Stewart wants his prolific body of work to be used academically for students “who could benefit from the sounds” and by then be inspired to explore and protect nature. He foresees a portion of his catalog being donated to the British Library. “It has to be a voice for the natural world,” he says.
In fact, it already is. Imperfect Cadence is included in the Sounds Right project, a cross-DSP initiative launched in April that’s made “Nature” an official artist, with songs that incorporate nature sounds collected on a “Feat. Nature” playlist that’s earning royalties for conservation projects. (In October, the initiative announced that in its first six months, it raised $225,000 for conversation projects in Colombia’s Tropical Andes, a region with one of the world’s highest rates of biodiversity and native species.)
Robert Shields
“It’s opened my eyes to the fact that there are incredible people working on sustainability, environmentalism, conservationism,” Shields says of being involved in Sounds Right. “When you get to dip your toe into a different world and see people who are committing so much time and energy to this stuff, it’s genuinely awe inspiring.”
For the time being, Stewart and Shields plan to meet in Scotland next month to make live versions of some of the album songs in several of the places where Stewart made the original recordings years back. “I’m so looking forward to that,” says Stewart. “And if that’s the last breath in my body, I’ll die a happy man.”
“We’ll have a whiskey and talk about the project,” says Shields.

Taylor Swift is not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white-veiled occasion, but she’s very much ready to be a part of newly engaged Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco‘s wedding.

A Timeline of Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s Relationship
The “Anti-Hero” singer was one of the first stars to publicly react to her longtime best friend’s engagement to the producer, news Gomez shared Wednesday night (Dec. 11) via an adorable post on Instagram. “forever starts now,” the Only Murders in the Building star had written, captioning a carousel of photos that began with a close-up of her ring, and included a snap of Blanco kissing her on the cheek.
In the comments, Swift joked, “yes I will be the flower girl.”
Numerous other friends also commented messages of congratulations on the post, including Cardi B, Jennifer Aniston, Lily Collins, Gordon Ramsay, Suki Waterhouse, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Michaels and more. Blanco chimed in as well, writing, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The news comes about a year and a half after Gomez and the “Eastside” musician started dating. The former first confirmed their relationship in December 2023, telling fans on Instagram, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.”
As the “Lose You to Love Me” artist’s friend of 15 years, Swift has been there for Gomez through it all. The two women first sparked a friendship around 2009, when both were dating Jonas brothers — Joe and Nick, respectively — and have stayed close ever since. The Wizards of Waverly Place alum attended multiple Eras Tour shows between its March 2023 kickoff and Dec. 8 finale in Vancouver, B.C., and both stars are quick to praise one another when given the chance.
“The most influential artist, for me, it is kind of Taylor,” Gomez said on SiriusXM in 2022. “Not because she’s my friend, but she has been an artist that can transition into so many different genres and she is able to do it seamlessly, and I admire that so much. And that’s so rare. I love her process, and I just admire all the work that she’s done. She’s definitely inspired me.”
That same year, Swift supported her bestie after the premiere of Gomez’s documentary, My Mind & Me. “So proud of you @selenagomez,” the “Karma” artist wrote on Instagram Stories at the time. “Love you forever.”
