Kelsea Ballerini is asking fans for prayers and good thoughts for her dog Dibs, revealing that her beloved pooch has been diagnosed with cancer.

Ballerini wrote on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday (Aug. 28), “The last few days we have discovered that dibby has inoperable cancer in his heart. He’s not in pain and luckily it hasn’t spread further.”

The singer-songwriter adopted the dog in 2015, following the breakthrough success of her debut single “Love Me Like You Mean It.” Her cherished dog shares a name with her hit song “Dibs,” which became a No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hit in 2016.

In her post, Ballerini also said that the dog will soon begin taking “‘big’ meds” to ensure he will “have as many comfortable and happy days (weeks, months) left s possible.”

Ballerini had words of praise for the dog’s veterinarians, and added, “My mom is here (he stans grandma), and [Ballerini’s boyfriend] Chase is the greatest dog dad in the world. He is getting extra cuddles and kibbles from his little family.”

Ballerini, who will release her new album, Patterns, on Oct. 25, also told fans, “I feel pretty disingenuous promoting this album and tracklist reveal (which I am so, so proud of) without updating you on my sweet dibs health.” She added, “It’s a complex and emotional time. He’s been my baby and my steady for the last 9 years and very much alongside this whole journey with us all. I know so many of you care about him and are sending him prayers and love, and from my whole heart … thank you. He’s wagging his tail right now no doubt saying thank you too.”

Ballerini had previously shared days ago that Dibs was going through some hard times, with the musician sharing on Instagram that the dog had “made it through the night and is stable enough to run the tests we need to figure out our next steps.” In that same IG story, Ballerini said, “Thank you for all of the prayers and good energy. I made sure to tell him so many people love him and are thinking of him when I got to visit last night.”

The electronic producer Odetari is popular on TikTok, where he has more than 2.5 million followers. He posts “maybe three to five times a week, probably even less,” according to Alec Henderson, vp of digital strategy at Artist Partner Group, which signed Odetari last year. That’s often not enough to satiate a global audience consuming social media 24/7.

So APG came up with a workaround. “A lot of what we do internally at APG is create multiple profiles for artists across social channels, and we’ll run fan pages in-house for our artists,” says Corey Calder, svp of marketing and creative services at APG. “We utilize these fan pages to continuously serve artists’ audiences with content,” Henderson adds. 

The music industry has become increasingly interested in the marketing potential of these fan pages, which can churn out a lot of posts — song snippets, concert footage, backstage shenanigans, and more — but don’t cost much or require the actual artist to do more work. Some fan pages are started by ardent followers, others by the artists’ own team or label. 

Either way, they function “like having a media outlet at your disposal at all times,” says Laura Spinelli, digital marketing manager for Shopkeeper Management. For Tim Collins, co-founder of the digital marketing agency Creed Media, fan pages “can tell the story of an artist without the artist having to be the voice.”

Fan pages have existed for as long as the internet. While initially listeners had to actively seek them out and follow them, now the most popular social media platforms are all driven by powerful algorithms, which feed their users videos and posts according to their taste profile. This means that even passive supporters can be served fan pages, expanding their reach. 

“You might like an official Odetari post, and then that serves information to the app that he is an interest of yours,” Henderson explains. “Our fan pages will almost eat off of that, because then the app is going to serve you more content related to that artist.”

For labels, fan pages can hopefully serve as a cost-efficient alternative to influencers. Marketers have been complaining about the saturation of advertising efforts on TikTok for years now — brands, movies, politicians and more use the platform to sell themselves. As a result, any influencers that command an audience can charge a lot more for their services, even though they generally do not get as many eyeballs as they did when the platform was less popular. 

“If you’re going to do influencer marketing and you’re a label, you have to hire an agency or reach out to creators and pay them on a one-off basis to post using your song,” says Benjamin Klein, who runs the Hundred Days Digital marketing agency. “Instead of running a sped-up song campaign or a film-edit campaign that way, you can just launch a page” and put them out yourself. 

Having all these accounts on hand — fan pages, sped-up song pages, film-edit pages, lyric pages — offers “a way to circulate catalog and help facilitate music discovery without burdening the artist or having to spend money,” Collins says.

To help promote bbno$’s “It Boy,” the rapper’s team “had close to 60 fan pages pumping one to four posts a day,” says Sam Alavi, who co-manages the artist. They covered “a myriad of different content types: Some were anime focused, some were bbno$ focused, some were clips of old podcasts bbno$ had done, and then they ended with ‘It Boy.’” The single peaked at No. 10 on Billboard’s TikTok Top 50 chart in July.

When an artist’s team runs a fan page, they don’t have to pay to post there. And when fan pages are set up by fans of the artist, they’re usually “so cheap” to work with, according to Arthur Lindsell, managing director of Grail Talent, an agency that links brands with creators. “Their dream is to get reached out to by the team of their favorite singer — give the person who runs the fan account tickets to the tour, and they’re going to be over the moon.” 

Courting fan pages run by fans is the political equivalent of firing up the base. While influencers are mercenaries — their heart is in it as long as the check clears — the people behind fan pages rejoice at the opportunity to be loud advocates for their favorite artists, theoretically helping to indoctrinate others. Fan pages “sometimes can initiate interest in an artist, but most of the time they snowball it,” Lindsell says. “It’s about getting people who are slightly interested and hyping them up.”

In addition, fan pages can shift some of the burden of non-stop social media posting away from artists — or shoulder that burden entirely for those who are averse to TikTok. “A lot of artists are just not comfortable using social media,” Klein says. In that case, fan pages can serve as “a way to get your artists into a space that they might not want to participate in if they don’t want to create content,” Spinelli says.

These accounts can also post clips that artists might not want to put up themselves. “A lot of artists want their personal account to stay curated,” says Jen Darmafall, a director at ATG, a management company and marketing agency that runs fan pages for some of its clients. “There’s a lot of content that will be captured at shows, for instance, that they might not want to post on their main account because it will look a little spammy.” The fan pages can function as a spam cannon.

While they can do quantity, some marketers fear fan pages don’t always produce the eye-catching posts necessary to hook new listeners. “When you find the kid who makes the best film edits on TikTok, he’s probably 16 years old, and he just really likes the aesthetic of Ryan Gosling movies, for example,” explains Jake Houstle, co-owner of Black 17 Media, The Orchard’s top TikTok label. “I would much rather pay that kid $50 to create six Ryan Gosling edits for my song,” and hope that his passion for the actor transforms into truly standout posts.

Fan pages face one other challenge. An artist already has to have genuine followers for them to be helpful — otherwise there’s no signal to amplify. If fans could be created out of thin air, everyone would be a star. 

“There’s a threshold of how popular the artist needs to be,” Lindsell acknowledges. “No one really gives a shit if something feels obviously manufactured.”

Brat summer meets brat fall. Charli XCX cozies up in a leopard print coat for H&M’s upcoming A/W 2024 Campaign released on Thursday (Aug. 29).

Described as a “refresh of H&M fashion spirit,” the A/W collection is inspired by the “eternal glamour and versatility of mid-century design” and features leather pieces, knits, micro skirts, boxy jackets, tailored jackets and more.  

“This collection is full of many special inspirations and quality materials,” Eliana Masgalos, Womenswear Design Director, H&M, said in a statement. “The leather, the knits, the sparkly separates – together the pieces showcase the strength of H&M’s fashion ability. It’s all about great clothes: real wardrobe icons. The campaign lets the fashion shine.”

“This collection is a celebration of who we are, and a moment to reaffirm that H&M is always focused on great fashion,” noted H&M’s creative director, Jörgen Andersson. “The campaign is about liberating fashion and liberating self expression – each subject twists the clothes in their own way and their own style. The message is that difference is power.”

Featured in the campaign are Charli XCX, Arca, Lila Moss, Ajus Samuel, Loli Bahia, Wali Deutsch, Okay Kaya, Bibi Breslin, Alewya, Sage Elsesser, Sega Bodega and Lux Gillespie.

While A$AP Rocky delayed his anticipated Don’t Be Dumb album, the Harlem native is still preparing to unleash another single ahead of the years-in-the-making project’s arrival. The Mob frontman announced on Thursday (Aug. 29) that his previously leaked “Tailor Swif” single — essentially named after pop titan Taylor Swift but doesn’t have anything else associated with her — will be released on Friday (Aug. 30).

“SINCE U DUMMIES LEAKED IT ALREADY,” Flacco tweeted matter-of-factly, while noting on TikTok that it would arrive “2MRW.” He gave fans a taste of the visual with a 10-second teaser of the clip, which was shot in Ukraine.

Some fans are hyped that the leak — that was previously titled “Wetty” — will receive an official release. “This a hall of fame music video,” one person tweeted.

However, some Swifties are not exactly thrilled with Rocky using a play on words with the singer’s name. “Why does every male want beef with taylor swift? it’s weird,” they tweeted.

There’s plenty of history with “Tailor Swif.” Rocky debuted the record during a July 2022 performance at Rolling Loud Portugal. Days later, the song and visual leaked.

Rocky seemed to have trepidation about putting “Tailor Swif” on the album following its leak, but he’s apparently had a change of heart and it will release on streaming services. “It’s very important and special if it makes it on the album,” Rocky explained to Apple Music in early August about his new material. “Most of the songs that I usually perform and s–t like that, muthaf–kas leak it. And once it’s leaked, it’s just like, ‘Nah, it’s not on the project.” … I might perform it here or there, but it’s leaked. It is what it is. It’s out already.”

Don’t Be Dumb was slated to arrive on Friday (Aug. 30), but A$AP Rocky delayed the effort until the fall without a concrete date. While describing the project to Billboard as part of his cover story, Rocky said he’s continuing his exploration of German expressionism.

“In this very moment, it’s very grim. That’s an abbreviation,” he said. “It’s infusing German expressionism with ghetto futurism.”

Rocky released his “Highjack” single earlier in August with an assist from Jessica Pratt. The track reached No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Ariana Grande is one femininomenon Chappell Roan loves. While answering questions on a recent livestream, the 26-year-old star had nothing but kind things to say about the 31-year-old vocalist, from praising Eternal Sunshine to hyping up the upcoming Wicked films. 

Related

The topic of Grande first came up when one fan left a comment about Wicked, the first installment of which arrives in November starring the R.E.M. Beauty founder as Glinda opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba. “Oh my god, I’m so excited,” Roan raved of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name, which was based off of Gregory Maguire’s novel. 

“I’m a really big Ari — I’m an Arianator,” the “Good Luck Babe!” artist added. “I love her album.” 

Roan’s comments come nearly two months after Grande sent love to the Missouri native on Instagram Stories, sharing a Wicked-related meme featuring Roan’s 2024 Gov Ball look, which involved painting her entire body green to channel the Statue of Liberty. “I really ♡ @chappellroan,” the Victorious alum wrote at the time.  

On Aug. 19, Grande’s friend and Wicked costar Bowen Yang conversed with Roan for Interview magazine, revealing that he was the one to introduce the “Yes, And?” singer to the “Hot to Go!” artist’s work. “I remember drinking a glass of wine with Ariana Grande after we wrapped and being like, ‘You should get on Chappell Roan,” the Saturday Night Live star recalled. “‘She’s f–king awesome. Her live shows are incredible.’”

“I appreciate that,” Roan replied at the time. “I’ve been like, ‘Oh, my god. People are legitimately excited about this album.’” 

Roan is currently climbing her way up the Billboard charts, with her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess recently reaching a new peak at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 a full 11 months after it was released in September 2023. She has seven entries on the Billboard Hot 100 dated Aug. 31, including “Pink Pony Club,” “Red Wine Supernova,” “Casual,” “Femininomenon” and “My Kink Is Karma.” 

As her star has rapidly risen, however, Roan recently needed to set boundaries with fans regarding what she called “predatory behavior” in a lengthy statement on Instagram. “Please stop touching me. Please stop being weird to my family and friends. Please top assuming things about me,” she wrote in the post, which followed a TikTok video in which she also expressed her concerns on the same subject. “There is always more to the story. I am scared and tired. And please—don’t call me Kayleigh.”

In this episode of Billboard Unfiltered, Billboard staffers Carl Lamarre, Kyle Denis and Damien Scott discuss A$AP Rocky’s cover story, his one-on-one conversation with Damien and the industry’s expectations for the rapper’s new album. They also dive into Complex’s Best Atlanta Rappers of All Time, debate, who should have taken the No. 1 spot, explore Billboard’s greatest pop stars of the 21st century and more.

Damien Scott:
He sticks with his own vision, he sticks with his own ideas. I’m really excited to hear the rest of the album. What I heard sounds great. 

Carl Lamarre:
André 3000 No. 1 without a solo rap album. 

Kyle Denis:
If you can spit, you can spit. 

Damien Scott:
Can you rap? Or can you not rap?

Carl Lamarre:
50 Cent, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, Megan Thee Stallion, J. Lo, Missy Elliott, Nelly, Cardi B, Doja Cat, Future, Post Malone, SZA, Sean Paul, Chris Brown. These are the names that did not make the top 25.

Well, shout-out to this brother right here. 

Yes, sir.

Big-time Dame, big-time cover story. If you guys haven’t already, make sure you check it out right now on billboard.com with A$AP Rocky. Yes sir. Had a fire profile piece. Man, the album was supposed to come out this Friday, which is pushed and coming out this fall. But, bro, talk about your experience kicking it with Rocky and how that was.

Damien Scott:
It was great. You know, I’ve known Rocky — well not know him — but I’ve watched and had the pleasure of watching his career grow from the moment he released “Purple Swag” to now. I’ve worked at publications who’ve covered him. We’ve had him on the cover for various albums and I’ve been fortunate enough to be close enough to see a different match throughout his career, and I’ve always been a fan.

Keep watching for more!

Seven years after its 2017 release, Clean Bandit’s Zara Larsson-featuring “Symphony” ranks at No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart dated Aug. 31.

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 Aug. 19-25. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.

“Symphony” debuts at No. 1, the first to do so since Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do For Love” topped the tally in February.

The seven-year-old song is trending on TikTok thanks to multiple edits using colorful photos and videos of dolphins, with captions and overlays that are generally funny and oftentimes demotivational. Others talk about seeing dolphin images in their everyday life since and being reminded of the new meme.

For her part, Larsson, who is currently on tour, changed the background video of her concert performances of “Symphony” to dolphins as a nod to the trend.

“Symphony” peaked at No. 10 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in 2017. In the week ending Aug. 22, it earned 784,000 official U.S. streams, up 7%, with more gains likely for the week ending Aug. 29.

The song reigns over Surf Curse’s “Disco,” which jumps from No. 7 to the runner-up spot on the TikTok Billboard Top 50. As noted in the article announcing the Aug. 24 chart, “Disco,” released in 2019, surges due to a dance trend sporting two creators facing each other while performing their moves.

“Disco” leaped 82% in streams in the week ending Aug. 22 to 1.7 million. It’s the second Surf Curse song to sport major attention on TikTok years after the song’s initial release, following “Freaks,” which found so much success that it became a radio single for the band, peaking at No. 15 on Alternative Airplay in 2021.

Jordan Adetunji’s “Kehlani,” which had led the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for the preceding two weeks, falls to No. 3, while DJ Drama and Gucci Mane’s “Photo Shoot” and Hanumankind and Kalmi’s “Big Dawgs” round out the top five.

It’s worth noting too that Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” the chart’s longest-running No. 1 at 10 weeks earlier this year, drops 4-6, marking the first time in its 17 weeks on the survey (dating back to May) that it has not been in the chart’s top four.

Two other songs join “Symphony” as debuts within the top 10, and unlike the No. 1, the ensuing two are brand new songs: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” bows at No. 8, followed by Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” at No. 9.

“Die With a Smile” is the first TikTok Billboard Top 50 appearance (the chart began in September 2023) for both Gaga and Mars. The top-performing clip featuring the song so far is an upload on Mars’ own account showing a portion of the music video, while other early successes include fan edits of movies and TV (Tangled, Elemental and more), reaction videos to the song and music video, lip-synch renditions and more.

The tune concurrently debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 27.4 million streams, 13 million audience impressions and 21,000 sold, as previously reported.

“Taste,” meanwhile, hasn’t yet made any other Billboard charts – that’s because it was released on Aug. 23, alongside the rest of Carpenter’s new album, Short n’ Sweet. The song benefits from the tracking week for the TikTok Billboard Top 50 being a Monday-Sunday setup (Aug. 19-25) vs. the majority of Billboard’s other charts (Friday-Thursday), though it still needed a hefty amount of attention in those three days to even crack the ranking, let alone the top 10.

According to TikTok, creations using the main “Taste” sound have already surpassed 2 million, with one of the top-performing uploads a behind-the-scenes video of the “Taste” music video uploaded by Carpenter herself, asking, “Am I babygirl?” Others feature lip-synchs to the new track, whose full Billboard chart impact will be known on the tallies dated Sept. 7, utilizing data from Aug. 23 to 29.

On the Billboard Hot 100 dated May 11, 1959, Edward Byrnes and Connie Stevens’ “Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)” soared from No. 19 to No. 4, where it peaked for two weeks.

The song became a novelty hit, tying into the character that Byrnes played on the TV show 77 Sunset Strip. For all its lightheartedness, it made history: It became the first Hot 100 top 10 by two artists who didn’t regularly record together, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, start.

A select few such team-ups hit the Hot 100’s top 10 in the 1960s, before the practice made more inroads in the ‘70s, when high-profile artists sharing No. 1s included Elton John and Kiki Dee (“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”); John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (“You’re the One That I Want”); and Barbra Streisand with both Neil Diamond (“You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”) and Donna Summer (“No More Tears [Enough Is Enough]”).

By the mid-‘80s, the Hot 100’s timeline had extended far enough that “That’s What Friends Are For” made its own history: As it marked Stevie Wonder’s 27th top 10 and John’s 20th (as well as Dionne Warwick’s 12th and Gladys Knight’s eighth, all under the billing Dionne & Friends), the all-star charity single became the first top 10 by two acts each adding a 20th hit in the tier.

On the Hot 100 dated Aug. 31, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars bound in at No. 3 with “Die With a Smile” – Mars’ 19th top 10 and Gaga’s 18th. Even with collaborations now long embedded in hit music, the ballad is an impressive outlier, as it becomes the latest rare song in which at least two acts each up their counts to 15 or more top 10s.

Below, browse (or, in honor of Byrnes and Stevens, comb through) a recap of the select songs with such star power, and acts’ Hot 100 top 10 totals at the time of each entry. Notably, Michael Jackson leads with three dominant duets, while Drake, Gaga, Ariana Grande, Paul McCartney, Rihanna and Wonder boast two each.
