LE SSERAFIM’s Yunjin is a certified star. The “Fearless” singer is best known for her powerful vocals (she was classically trained in opera) and equally impressive stage presence, but her fashion game is majorly slept on. She’s often styled in a more feminine manner to fit her group’s aesthetics; however, Yunjin’s style usually mixes tomboyish pieces like camo pants and jorts with frilly blouses and bow-laden accessories.

The K-pop idol’s style prowess was translated into a bestselling collaboration via Stand Oil, a South Korean accessories and footwear brand, which had fans and followers scrambling for a piece from the collection.

Jenaissante Charm Set in Lavender

This collection features four interesting bag charms, all of which have silver hardware. These charms can be attached to any bag to transform your everyday style into something new.


The collection includes a Breezy Bag in a misty white hue for $110 and an accompanying bag charm set for $76. According to Stand Oil, the first drop of the collaborative capsule sold out in under five hours, and it’s easy to see why. The bag charm trend has grown pretty tired, but leave it to Stand Oil and Yunjin to revitalize it with gusto. Now, both the bag and bag charms have just restocked, but it’s likely they won’t be for long due to all the hype.

The accompanying charms are inventive and fun. You get four charms, including a keyring accented with initials and star cubic detailing along with a cubic chain with tons of charms attached that can be draped across the front of any bag, a keyring with a bow attached and a striped necktie-style strap keyring in shades of pink and blue that can be tied in a bow or wrapped around the shoulder straps of your bag. With four charms, it’ll take a while to exhaust all your styling options. Part of the fun is accessorizing your bag in a multitude of ways, making your everyday tote or crossbody feel new again.

Breezy Bag Mini in Misty White

The Breezy Bag is an off-white bone hue with drawstring attachments that allow users to alter the shape of their bag. You can carry this style over the shoulder or as a crossbody with an accompanying strap.


Yunjin and Stand Oil’s Breezy Bag is also a winner with an elongated but slouchy silhouette similar to Balenciaga’s ever-iconic City Bag. This bag comes in a cream hue with silver hardware and drawstrings on the sides, giving users the ability to adjust the profile of their bag by cinching it tight. This bag also comes with a longer strap for crossbody carry. The interior zips close, and features pockets for organization. You also have two exterior side pockets that close magnetically for all your extra bits and bobs, like lip balm or a lighter.

The beauty of this collaboration is that you can purchase one, the other or both, and still end up with a new and funky accessory. The Breezy bag alone is quite cute. Add those collaborative charms to it and you instantly upgrade the look. With the set of charms, you can dress up any bag currently in your rotation, turning it into something brand new again.

The final masks came off on the latest season of Masked Singer during the Wednesday (April 1) finale, revealing Ashlee Simpson as the season 14 winner. And what made the moment even more special was that her famous sister, Jessica Simpson, was there to celebrate in real time.

After Ashlee shed her Galaxy Girl costume — with the help of Jessica, whom host Nick Cannon helped on to the stage for the big reveal — the elder Simpson had nothing but praise when reacting to her younger sister’s victory. “I watched these performances at home on the couch,” she said from the stage. “She literally performs for us all the time, so she deserved this stage, and I’m so glad you guys got her.”

“Always her No. 1 fan,” she added as Ashlee beamed. “She can do everything.”

It was a memorable triumph for multiple reasons. Beyond Jessica being there to help crown Ashlee the winner, the latest installment of Masked Singer also saw the latter competing against her husband, Evan Ross, aka Stingray. Ross made it until week 10 of the series.

In an interview with Billboard after her big win, Ashlee said that her mom and daughter were “shocked” to see her take home first place. The “Pieces of Me” singer shares 10-year-old Jagger and 5-year-old Ziggy with Evan Ross, and she’s also mom to 17-year-old Bronx from her previous marriage to Pete Wentz.

“For me, it was something me and my kids watch together,” she said. “At first, I was like, ‘I’m gonna surprise the kids.’ And as my daughter hears me rehearsing a song every day, she knew every song I was doing so I let her in, but I said, ‘You cannot tell your friends!’”

Ashlee also told Billboard about competing against her spouse. “I would hear him sometimes rehearsing his songs at night, and he would hear me rehearsing mine, but that was about it,” she said. “Or we would call each other and be like, ‘How did it feel? Did you see?’ We were both just rooting each other on and there to have a good time.”

It’s a shame those four NASA astronauts just blasted off for a trip around the moon, because the drama on Bravo’s Summer House is so out of control this season you might need an astrophysics degree just to keep it all straight.

Luckily, we have The Drama co-star Haim guitarist Alana Haim to help us sort the sordid mess all out. During a visit to Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday night (April 1), self-described Summer House superfan Haim was asked by host Andy Cohen to weigh in on the headline-grabbing interpersonal spectacle between Ciara Miller, West Wilson and Amanda Batula on the hit New York-based reality series.

“Before we even begin, I had to make a shirt before I got here,” Haim proclaimed as she reached behind her to grab the bespoke white T-shirt she fashioned to proclaim her allegiance, slipping it on over her neon green dress to loud applause. “I’m just going to put it on so you know what it says because I’m very, very passionate about this. I am … Team Ciara,” she proclaimed proudly as she showed off her team affiliation in sparkly letters across her chest.

“All the way,” she added. “Here’s the thing … people on the street are asking me like, ‘You have to explain this drama.’ And it’s, like, giving me life every day.” Cohen said people are so spun up about the drama that he could hardly get to dinner in the city the night before and TMZ showed up at his son’s school that morning looking for any angle on the story.

“It’s blown everything up,” Haim said about the recent season 10 confirmation from Batula and Wilson that they are dating, which, pay attention, has caused a huge rift since Batula and Miller were formerly BFFs and Miller and Wilson started dating in season eight. “The thing is, we watched Ciara confide in Amanda about West and we watched them kind of fall in love again this season,” she explained like one of those detectives in a procedural mapping out a love crime with a red string evidence board.

“So I thought, ‘Oh, they’re getting back together, right?’,” Haim said. “You never betray a girl like that. That’s your girl. It’s your best friend. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter and I hope, I hope, I pray that they sat her down and told her before the news came out. And I hope, I hope I pray that cameras were up.”

A former guitarist for the hardcore band Turnstile has been arrested and charged in Maryland with attempted murder over allegations that he intentionally hit the lead singer’s father with his car.

Brady Ebert, who left the band in 2002, was arrested by Maryland police Wednesday (April 1) on charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault over the alleged Sunday (March 29) incident, in which singer Brendan Yates’ father, William, was severely injured.

According to charging documents obtained by Billboard, Ebert showed up at the elder Yates’ Silver Spring home on Sunday and was “honking his horn” and “yelling obscenities.” As the 79-year-old man walked up his driveway, Ebert allegedly accelerated the car and took a sharp turn to strike him with the case. The alleged incident, which left the elder Yates with “trauma to his lower extremities,” was captured on a neighbor’s surveillance camera, police say.

Ebert is initially being held without bond. An initial court hearing is set for Thursday (April 2). His attorney declined to comment when reached by Billboard.

In a lengthy statement to Billboard Thursday, Turnstile said it “cut ties” with Ebert in 2022 “in response to a consistent pattern of harmful behavior” and only after “exhausting every available resource to support his access to help and recovery.”

“In the years since, his baseless tirades have continued in public. We never addressed it. We chose to protect his privacy and the circumstances around his departure, even when he did nothing to be deserving of that protection. Over the past few months, his threats only escalated further,” the band said.

Turnstile alleged those threats “led to a physical attack” on Sunday in which Ebert “went to the house of Brendan’s parents and used his vehicle to run over Brendan’s father, causing severe physical trauma.” The band said it was “grateful that Mr. Yates survived, has successfully undergone surgery, and we’re hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery.”

“We have no language left for Brady,” the band continued. “Please respect our privacy in this time.”

Billboard has also asked Ebert’s lawyer for comment on Turnstile’s statement.

Founded in 2010, Turnstile has boomed in recent years — going from a small Baltimore hardcore band playing basement shows to selling out 13,000-capacity outdoor spaces and landing a prime billing at Coachella. In August, the band scored a No. 1 song on a Billboard chart for the first time, topping Alternative Airplay with its “Never Enough.”

Ebert was a founding member of the band, but parted ways with the group in 2022. No reason was given at the time, and the band had not commented on his departure until this week’s alleged incident.

According to police reports, surveillance footage shows that Ebert arrived at the home as Yates’ daughter and her husband were unloading their children in front of the house. Police say the footage shows that Ebert initially “swerves towards William Yates who backs up in to the driveway to avoid being hit.” Yates then threw a rock, police say, which struck Ebert’s car. The guitarist then allegedly put the car in reverse and drove toward Yates again.

“Brady Ebert then places the vehicle in to drive, accelerates quickly and makes a sharp left turn into the driveway striking William Yates who was attempting to run in to the front lawn away from Brady Ebert,” the police report reads. “Brady Ebert continues driving into the front lawn, makes a sharp right turn towards Erin Gerber who is holding her 3-year-old son, crosses the driveway and drives across the other side of the front lawn fleeing the area.”

Police say Yates told detectives at the hospital that Ebert had been “causing issues” with the family ever since he was removed from Turnstile; he claimed the former member had been “taunting them for a long time, but that his behavior had been escalating,” including another incident earlier in March in which Ebert also allegedly drove at Yates and “narrowly missed striking him.”

Police say Yates told them that during Sunday’s alleged incident, he “feared for his life.” And after the alleged attack, as he lie wounded on the ground, he claimed to police that Ebert had actually “returned to the scene” and yelled that he “deserved it.”

This week, Billboard is publishing a series of lists and articles celebrating the music of 20 years ago. Our 2006 Week continues here with a look back at the incredibly triumphant ’06 from the guy who we originally named our Greatest Pop Star for the entire year: Justin Timberlake.

By 2006, Justin Timberlake had already been at the center of the fastest-selling album, the most successful (male) solo-career launch, and the most public-scandalizing moment of the early 21st century in pop music. He didn’t have a ton left to prove among his peers in 2006 — so instead, he set his sights on the all-time greats, with a reinvented sound and image and an album that intended to change a game that was in somewhat desperate need of being changed. And by just about any statistical or intangible measurement, he succeeded wildly.

On this Vintage Pop Stardom episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, 2006 Week continues with a tribute to the Greatest Pop Star of 2006. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard executive digital editor and longtime JT superfan Katie Atkinson to discuss Timberlake’s career year, where he topped the charts, defined cool in both music and celebrity, and gave both pop music and pop stardom a long-overdue push forward.

Along the way, we ask all the most pressing questions about 2006 Justin: Did “SexyBack” end up proving itself dated or timeless? Are we gonna give T.I. the benefit of the doubt on being called “Candle Guy”? How catastrophic was the “What Goes Around” music video? Was the stealth Prince beefing more funny or regrettable? How the hell did Black Snake Moan (or Southland Tales) get made? Is “Dick in a Box” still as funny as it was 20 years ago? Does Justin still watch Grey’s Anatomy? And perhaps most importantly: Was there any way that JT could have held on to his cool just a little while longer?

Check it out above, and subscribe to the Greatest Pop Stars podcast on Apple Music or Spotify (or wherever you get your podcasts) for weekly discussions every Thursday about all things related to pop stardom!

The beginning of 2026 has been dominated by 2016 nostalgia, but on Billboard.com, we’re supersizing it and going back to 2006. We’ve already looked back at some of the most iconic songs and trends from that year, but now, we’re looking at the biggest concert tours from 20 years ago.

The touring industry of 2006 was quite different from the current landscape. In the last two decades, ticket prices have surged and Boxscore chart-toppers have diversified, but there are some constants, as Kenny Chesney, Pearl Jam and Trans-Siberian Orchestra, among others, continue to rank among the biggest acts on stage well into the 2020s.

Beyond the top 10, Mariah Carey landed at No. 25 on The Adventures of Mimi trek. That tour supported the previous year’s The Emancipation of Mimi, which famously returned Carey to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with the decade’s biggest song, “We Belong Together.” Ranked by gross revenue from ticket sales, that tour’s $26.4 million take, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, wouldn’t have cracked the top 100 in 2025.

Though a near-constant presence in the upper reaches of this decade’s Top Tours ranking, Coldplay was, respectably, No. 19 in 2006 in the middle of Twisted Logic Tour. On the Music of the Spheres World Tour, the band has been in the top five of the year-end list consecutively from 2022 to 2025, topping the tally for each of the last two years.

While concert grosses have ballooned over the years, ratings for network television have shrunk. Back in 2006, American Idol was the biggest show in the United States, hovering around 30 million viewers per episode. Its annual spinoff tour featuring that season’s top contestants was a consistent draw, ranking at No. 13 with $35.3 million and 647,000 tickets sold over 59 shows.

Keep reading for more info on the top 10 touring acts of 2006, according to Billboard Boxscore’s year-end chart from 20 years ago. The figures below only account for the shows these artists played in the 2006 chart year. Some of these tours began in 2005 or continued in 2007, building upon these grosses and attendance figures.

Just missing out? Billy Joel and Rascal Flatts at Nos. 11 and 12, respectively. The former grossed just under $50 million and the latter barely surpassed one million tickets sold — 1,000,036 to be exact.

For the first time in two-and-a-half decades, Dogstar — the alternative rock band that counts actor Keanu Reeves as its bassist — is on a songs-based Billboard chart.

“All In Now,” the lead single from Dogstar’s upcoming album of the same name, debuts on the April 4-dated Mainstream Rock Airplay chart at No. 36, marking the band’s second appearance on any song ranking and first in more than 25 years.

In 2000, “Cornerstore,” featured on the trio’s sophomore album Happy Ending, spent nine weeks on the since-discontinued Modern AC Airplay chart, peaking at No. 32 that September.

Afterward, Dogstar — which also features vocalist-guitarist Bret Domrose and drummer Robert Mailhouse — broke up in 2002, but reconvened in 2020, eventually releasing the album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees in 2023. The LP reached multiple Billboard charts, paced by a No. 6 peak on Vinyl Albums and a bow of No. 19 on Top Album Sales.

In addition to its presence on mainstream rock radio stations, “All In Now” is also bubbling under the Alternative Airplay chart.

Dogstar was formed in the early 1990s in Los Angeles, at which point Reeves had already become a well-known actor in films such as Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and its sequel. Mailhouse also has multiple acting credits of his own; in fact, both he and Reeves appeared in 1994’s Speed, while Dogstar itself was featured in 1999’s Me and Will.

All In Now is due for release on May 29 via the band’s own Dillon Street Records.

J. Cole’s keeping his hoop dreams alive. The Dreamville rapper has signed a contract to play in the Chinese Basketball Association this season with the Nanjing Monkey Kings, according to ESPN‘s Shams Charania.

Charania reports that Cole committed to play “a few games” for the Monkey Kings last year, and his deal is essentially him fulfilling that promise.

Billboard has reached out to Cole’s reps for comment.

It’s not J. Cole’s first stint in professional hoops. Back in 2021, he suited up for the Rwanda Patriots in the Basketball Africa League and then headed north to play for the Scarborough Shooting Stars in 2022 in the Canadian Elite Basketball League.

Cole played high school basketball at Terry Sanford High School in Fayetteville, N.C., and he joins a roster that includes former American college players such as Brady Manek (University of North Carolina), Jaylen Hands (UCLA), Richard Solomon (California) and Parker Jackson-Cartwright (Arizona).

Footage of Cole attending the Monkey Kings’ game on Thursday went viral. While Cole didn’t play in the game as he gets familiar with his surroundings, he interacted with plenty of fans and a clip emerged of him signing a 2014 Forest Hills Drive 10th anniversary vinyl.

“China, what’s the world. This is J. Cole, Cole World. I’m excited to be in the vicinity,” Cole said in his first post on the Chinese social media platform Douyin.

Team general manager Zhen Wang posted a clip picking up Cole from the airport and explained why he wanted to bring the superstar rapper into the fold. Essentially, they had dinner together in the U.S. at some point last year, and Cole professed his hopes to continue chasing his dreams in basketball.

“[J. Cole] coming to China can really raise the CBA’s profile on a global scale,” Wang said. “Since he’s the minority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, we’re hoping that through his position, he can maybe help more of our domestic players get opportunities to train and play in the U.S.”

The 41-year-old’s next opportunity to suit up and make his debut comes on Saturday (April 4), when the Monkey Kings take on the Jiangsu Dragons.

British songbird Olivia Dean has had a wild year. Between her best new artist Grammy win in February to her successful pushback on Ticketmaster to cap resale prices for her upcoming debut North American arena tour, the London-bred singer has a lot to reflect on.

That’s exactly what she did in a cover story for ELLE magazine’s Women in Music issue, where the “Nice to Each Other” star mused on her big Grammy night and riding high on charts around the world thanks to her breakthrough hit, the Billboard Pop Airplay No. 1 smash “Man I Need.”

Less than a week after taking home the coveted prize she told the magazine that she couldn’t believe this is her life. “My heart is extremely full in a way that is kind of hard to even describe. I did not think that was going to happen. I can’t lie to you. I’ve never won an award for music before,” she said of the highest accolade she’s received so far for her acclaimed sophomore full-length album, The Art of Loving.

She said the win over a ridiculously stacked roster of nominees including Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, sombr and The Marías was all the more surreal because of her vantage point at the show. Watching Lauryn Hill participate in the all-star tribute to D’Angelo — Hill won best new artist the year Dean was born, 1999, and the singer’s middle name is Lauryn in tribute to the Fugees legend — all she could think was that it was “all the most serendipitous full-circle moment. I was just at home in London a couple of weeks ago on my sofa. Then suddenly I’m holding a Grammy, and Queen Latifah’s looking at me.”

And though she has a great crew of friends and family that keep her grounded, Dean revealed that she’s also learned the value of not letting the outside world shape how she feels about herself. So, after the Grammys win she deleted all her social media apps.

“I’ve been thinking about doing it for a while,” she said. “Even though the love has been overwhelming, even that is not healthy sometimes. I don’t think you’re supposed to know everyone’s opinion about you. And I’ve decided I want to live in sweet ignorance.”

After achieving the hard-won crossover in the U.S. that so many British artists dream of, Dean is also conscious of making sure her fans are able to come along for the ride. When the tickets to her first North American arena tour sold out so fast many of her day one fans couldn’t beat the bots to get seats, she demanded that Ticketmaster refund fans who were overcharged by resellers and cap prices going forward.

“There is no way that I’m going to get up on that stage and sing my heart out while somebody sits at home and makes $500 or $600 off of me and you,” she told the magazine. “I want people to be able to afford to come to the show. I don’t think you need to be someone who’s got loads of money to enjoy your favorite album. Full stop.”

The singer also sat down for one of ELLE’s AMA lightning rounds, saying “Nice To Each Other” best represents her as an artist because is paints her as “fun, flirty and cheeky,” with an overall message of joy and positivity. Her earliest music memory was the animated 1995 Disney film Pocahontas, specifically the ballad “Colors of the Wind,” with Dean recalling how she would sit in front of the TV and watch it over and over until her mum and granny got sick of it.

Describing the moment “Man I Need” hit the top of the Pop Airplay chart in the U.S., Dean said she was at the airport about to hit the road in the U.S. on Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour having a pint and did a little cheers to celebrate her milestone. And, like a lot of fellow music nerds, she said her dream collaborator is Stevie Wonder.

Dean’s The Art of Loving North American tour will kick off on July 10 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

BTS’ “SWIM” isn’t just No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated April 4 ­— the song also represents the band’s top-charting song yet on Billboard’s Streaming Songs tally, as well as its best debut on Radio Songs.

As previously reported, “SWIM” accrued 25.8 million radio airplay impressions, drew 15.3 million official U.S. streams and sold 154,000 in the week ending March 26, according to Luminate, begetting its No. 1 bow on the multimetric Hot 100, BTS’ seventh ruler.

With 95,000 of those sales via digital downloads, “SWIM” starts at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, BTS’ 13th to do so. But that stream count also puts the track at No. 2 on Streaming Songs, higher than any of the group’s singles had been previously.

BTS’ previous best on Streaming Songs, “Dynamite,” debuted and peaked at No. 3 in 2020. It’s also the band’s longest charting song on the survey to date, logging 15 weeks, with two of those spent in the top 10.

BTS first appeared on Streaming Songs in 2017 via the one-week appearance of “DNA” at No. 38.

As for Radio Songs, “SWIM” starts at No. 18, well ahead of its previous top bow, “Butter,” which began at No. 39 in 2021. The group’s top peak remains “Dynamite,” which roses as high as No. 10.

That Radio Songs debut is thanks to bows of No. 16 on Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary, No. 19 on Adult Pop Airplay and No. 35 on Rhythmic Airplay. It even earned a No. 27 debut on Latin Airplay thanks to spins from predominantly Spanish-language stations that report to the panel, BTS’ first appearance on the list.

“SWIM” is the lead single from ARIRANG, BTS’ 10th studio album, which concurrently bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
