Harry Styles achieves a massive week on Billboard’s charts (dated March 21) thanks to the debut of his album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

Released March 6 via Erskine/Columbia Records, the set launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 430,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in its opening week, according to Luminate — the biggest week for an album this year. Styles scores his fourth No. 1, after Harry Styles (2017), Fine Line (2019) and Harry’s House (2022).

The album sends Styles vaulting 40 spots back to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100. He leads for a sixth week and for the first time since 2022. The chart measures acts’ activity across key metrics of music consumption: album sales, track sales, radio airplay and streaming. Using a methodology comprising those metrics, the chart provides a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.

All 12 songs from the album also reach the Billboard Hot 100, led by “American Girls” at No. 4 and lead single “Aperture” at No. 9 — the latter debuted at No. 1 six weeks ago.

Here’s a recap of Styles’ songs on the latest Hot 100 (all of which are debuts except where noted):

Rank, Title

  • No. 4, “American Girls”
  • No. 9, “Aperture” (up from No. 29; spent one week at No. 1 in February)
  • No. 15, “Ready, Steady, Go!”
  • No. 17, “Taste Back”
  • No. 18, “Coming Up Roses”
  • No. 23, “Pop”
  • No. 25, “Are You Listening Yet?”
  • No. 26, “Dance No More”
  • No. 28, “The Waiting Game”
  • No. 30, “Season 2 Weight Loss”
  • No. 38, “Carla’s Song”
  • No. 45, “Paint by Numbers”

With 11 debuts, Styles has now charted 34 total songs on the Hot 100 as a solo artist in his career — surpassing the 29 that he charted as a member of One Direction in 2012-15. After the group split in 2016, he earned his first solo Hot 100 entry on April 29, 2017, when “Sign of the Times” debuted and peaked at No. 4. Of his 34 entries, 28 have reached the top 40, nine peaked in the top 10 and three hit No. 1: “Watermelon Sugar” (2020), “As It Was” (2022) and “Aperture.”

Two songs from the new album also place on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart: “Aperture,” at No. 2 after four weeks at No. 1, and “Are You Listening Yet?,” a debut at No. 3.

At one point during the first show of her long-awaited Lux Tour on Monday night (Mar. 16), Rosalía told the Lyon crowd, in fluent French, that the evening was “really special” for her.

It’s easy to understand: this 51-date world tour is the biggest production the 33-year-old Barcelona native has ever staged and represents her first proper tour cycle since Motomami turned her into a global phenomenon in 2022. She’s spent the intervening years crafting Lux, and on Monday at the LDLC Arena, it became clear that she’d been dreaming about this night for a very long time.

“Special” would also be an apt way to describe the sheer ambition of the Lux Tour: structured in four acts plus an intermezzo, the show entertained 13,700 frequently screaming spectators for one hour and forty-five minutes, as Rosalía tirelessly shapeshifted from ballerina to nightclub provocateur to confessional penitent to winged angel across 24 songs. Choreographed by French collective (La) Horde and backed by a 22-piece classical orchestra, the production sits somewhere between grand opera and a rave—and the achievement is often staggering.

The Lux Tour is going to satisfy a lot of Rosalía devotees in the coming months, who will surely find their own favorite pockets of the setlist. And while fans should embrace the entire experience, the opening night provided some clear-cut highlights.

Here are the 8 best moments from the Lux Tour kickoff in Lyon on Monday night. For a full setlist of the show, click here. For a list of cities and dates, click here.

Ken Doroshow will retire from his post as the top lawyer at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) at the end of March.

Doroshow departs the RIAA after seven years as chief legal officer. During his tenure, he oversaw litigation, content protection, regulatory affairs and technology matters for the organization. He’ll be replaced on an acting basis by Jacob Tracer, the RIAA’s senior vp of litigation and legal affairs.

“Ken’s career advocating for the rights of creators has left an indelible mark on the laws protecting music,” said RIAA chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier in a statement. “RIAA is so fortunate to have benefitted from Ken’s unique talent, resilience and good humor. While we will miss him greatly, we celebrate all his accomplishments as he enters his well-deserved retirement and congratulate him on his many contributions to the music industry.”

After receiving his J.D. from Cornell Law School in 1989, Doroshow spent more than a decade of his early career at the Department of Justice, including as a prosecutor in the Computer Crime & Intellectual Property Section. He later served for three years as general counsel of the Entertainment Software Association, a video game industry trade group, before becoming a partner at the firm Jenner & Block in 2012.

Doroshow focused on intellectual property and First Amendment matters for media and entertainment clients during his time in private practice. In 2019, he brought this expertise to the RIAA, where he led numerous high-profile copyright cases for the record industry.

Doroshow’s docket at the RIAA included piracy lawsuits against stream-ripping services and landmark litigation accusing AI music generators Suno and Udio of training their models on unlicensed music. He was repeatedly featured on Billboard’s Top Music Lawyers list.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is gearing up for one of its biggest collaborations yet, blending music and soccer on a forthcoming official album, with a Jelly Roll and Carín León team-up marking the set’s first single, Billboard has learned.

News of the music project was first teased by FIFA President Gianni Infantino on social media on Monday (March 16), who expressed that “established stars and new voices representing different styles and different cultures from around the world are collaborating to create one global rhythm that will celebrate our beautiful game” in an Instagram caption. 

The first single off the album is “Lighter,” a country-tinged rock song by the Tennessee-based artist and Mexican star that will be available on March 20. The song was produced by Canadian hitmaker Cirkut, who won the 2026 Grammy for producer of the year, non-classical. 

“It is groundbreaking and sets the tone for everything to come,” Infantino assures of the track in the promo video.

Furthermore, the song “brings together three host countries through one collaborative sound, bridging borders and genres while reflecting the shared cultural energy of North America and the global passion of the game,” according to an official statement. 

For the first time in history, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held across three hosting countries: Canada, Mexico and the United States. Matches are expected to take place from June 11 to July 19 in 11 U.S. cities, three Mexican cities and two Canadian cities, with the final match taking place at the New York New Jersey Stadium in New Jersey. 

It takes a lot of heart to let people in like this, but Ann Wilson is ready to take the leap.

On Tuesday (March 17), the Heart frontwoman announced that she’ll embark on a 10-stop North American tour to screen her forthcoming documentary In My Voice. After each screening, Wilson will participate in a live Q&A alongside director Barbara Hall (Madam Secretary, Army Wives).

Wilson is a singer/songwriter and frontwoman of the legendary rock band Heart. Coming up in the male-dominated rock scene in the ’70s, Wilson faced more than her fair share of misogyny in the music industry. Yet, she never let it stop her. Instead, she took her anger and penned “Barracuda,” a top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hit that would go on to become one of Heart’s signature songs, in 1977. Since then, Heart continued to grow as one of the biggest rock acts of the ’70s and ’80s, even earning a place on Billboard‘s list of 50 best rock bands.

Now, five decades after the formation of Heart, Wilson is sharing her story. As the title suggests, In My Voice is Wilson’s tale told in her own words. The documentary explores Wilson’s life from growing up a military child to becoming a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Fans will get to see highlights pulled from Wilson’s archive of home movies, journals, photographs and never-before-seen footage. Wilson’s family members, bandmates and fellow artists will make cameos and share commentary on Wilson’s incredible life.

“The most important lesson I’ve learned along the long and winding road is to thine own self, be true,” Wilson says in the teaser trailer for In My Own Voice.

The film tour will kick off in Seattle on May 11 before snaking its way across the U.S., Vancouver and Toronto before concluding in Boston.

Demi Lovato had a lot to talk about when she hopped on the couch at The Tonight Show on Monday night (March 16). In addition to plugging her new cookbook, One Plate At a Time, and her upcoming tour in support of last year’s It’s Not That Deep album, the singer was also eager to talk about her wedding to singer/producer Jordan “Jutes” Lutes last May.

“We had an amazing wedding,” Lovato, 33 said. “He is just my whole world. I love him so much.”

Fallon then held up a snap of the Goo Goo Dolls’ John Rzeznik performing the couple’s favorite song, the band’s smash “Iris,” for their first official dance as husband and wife. “We were so grateful to have him perform. It was a no-brainer, we definitely wanted that song as our first dance and he absolutely smashed it.” Lovato described how the other attendees were singing along in a “really, really cute and sweet” moment that made the night “perfect.”

The topper was that Paris Hilton served as the night’s DJ, spinning tunes, with Fallon showing a pic of the fashion icon on the ones and twos. “It was electric,” Lovato gushed of Hilton’s set.

The singer also talked about popping in to her old friends the Jonas Brothers’ kick off of their 20th anniversary tour in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium last summer, where she performed the Camp Rock hits “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” with her former co-stars Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas for the first time in years. “It was so much fun, we had a blast,” she said of the surprise get-back. “Performing those songs was so nostalgic for me. We had the best time and it was great to see them,” she said, noting that it was “very nerve-wracking” to get up on stage in front of that many people.

Lovato also stuck around for a game of “Musical Genre Challenge,” which kicked off with Fallon doing a countrified version of the Oscar-winning KPop Demon Hunters Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Golden.” Lovato got a slam dunk with her first choice: Sienna Spiro’s “Die on this Hill” sung in a “diva ballad” style, which she, of course, belted like the diva that she is.

The round ended with Jimmy singing a Doobie Brothers-adjacent yacht rock version of Harry Styles’ new single, “American Girls,” followed by Lovato singing her own “Sorry, Not Sorry” in an ’80s new wave style.

Lovato rounded out the appearance with an emotional, moving performance of her ballad “Ghost,” featuring accompaniment from a pianist, from last year’s ninth studio album, It’s Not That Deep. After a reshuffling of the dates of the It’s Not That Deep Tour last month — which included canceling five shows and rescheduling another to “protect my health” — Lovato will kick off the outing on April 13 with a gig at the Kia Center in Orlando, Fla.

The Billboard Latin Women in Music special is scheduled to return for its fourth edition on April 23 at 9 p.m. ET via Telemundo, Billboard and Telemundo announced Tuesday (March 17).

The two-hour music special will celebrate Latin female artists who are proactively driving positive change and championing inclusion in the music industry. The live event will also stream simultaneously on the Telemundo app and Peacock. 

“We are honored to once again join forces with Billboard to spotlight the extraordinary women who are shaping the Latin music industry,” Javier Pons, chief content officer & head of Telemundo Studios, said in a press release. “More than a celebration, Billboard Latin Women in Music is a powerful statement about representation and the undeniable impact Latinas have across the global music landscape. At Telemundo, we are proud to amplify these voices and bring our audience an unforgettable night of recognition, empowerment, and world-class performances.”

“Our Latin Women in Music celebration is one of our proudest accomplishments,” added Leila Cobo, co-chief content officer for Billboard. “We created it four years ago, realizing that there was no program in place to exclusively celebrate the achievements of Latina artists. To see it grow and become a pipeline for new talent as well as a platform to celebrate iconic artists from around the world, and from every genre, highlights how deep and varied our talent is. We can’t wait to celebrate this year’s group of extraordinary women, as much for their artistry as for their impact on a global scale.”

This year’s honorees will be announced at a later date.

Surely you’ve heard the rumors that longtime couple Zendaya and Tom Holland recently got hitched. Zendaya definitely has and on Monday night (March 16) she got her first chance to set the record straight when she visited Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her upcoming film with Robert Pattinson, the wedding drama, The Drama.

“I’m sure you know the internet has gone berserk with stories that you might actually be married to Tom,” Kimmel said about the rumor overdrive that was kicked off when Z’s longtime stylist and friend told Access Hollywood earlier this month that the couple who began dating in 2017 were already hitched. “The wedding has already happened,” Law Roach claimed at the time in a mischievous tone. “You missed it.”

Except, according to Zendaya, it didn’t. Maybe.

“Really?” Zendaya responded with a sarcastic smile to Kimmel about the rumors. “I haven’t seen any of them.” Kimmel mentioned the seemingly AI-generated wedding photos of the couple that made the rounds a few weeks ago and Zendaya was quick to note that “many people have been fooled by them.”

While Z was just out there living her life, people kept coming up to her and saying, “‘Oh my God, you’re wedding photos are gorgeous!’,” to which she would respond, “‘Babe, they’re AI. They’re not real. They’re not real.’”

Even people in her real life were fooled by the pics and, not for nothing, mad that they didn’t get invited to the wedding the Euphoria star said didn’t happen. To clear up the confusion, Zendaya brought along a video featuring footage from the alleged wedding, only it was a doctored scene from The Drama with Holland’s head clumsily pasted on top of Pattinson’s as the happy couple posed for wedding pics with family. When Kimmel noted that the video closely resembled a scene in the film, Z had jokes.

“Yeah, it was a beautiful day,” she said sarcastically, as Kimmel noted that it almost looked as if someone had “crudely pasted” Holland’s head into the scene. “No, that was real footage,” the actress said with practiced sincerity, denying the host’s claim that it was yet another AI mirage. “No, that was real,” she assured him. “I was there.”

The couple, who reportedly began dating after the actress played MJ to Holland’s Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017 and then Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) — as well as the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day — have always been circumspect about their status.

Reports surfaced in January 2025 that the couple had gotten engaged, with neither one confirming it until months later, when Holland corrected a journalist who referred to Zendaya as his “girlfriend” rather than “fiancée” at a September press junket.

Whether they’re married or not, the happy couple have a number of projects in the works, including Zendaya’s return as Rue on the third and final season of Euphoria, which premieres in April, when she will also hit movie theaters in The Drama. She and Holland will then appear together in Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated The Odyssey (July 17) and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31).

First the good news. After playing their first run of shows in eight years in 2025 during a 20-gig blitz across the U.K. and Europe, Radiohead are lining up another 20 gigs for 2027. In fact, according to guitarist Ed O’Brien, 20 is the band’s new sweet spot for touring.

“It’s definitely happening,” O’Brien told Rolling Stone of the group’s new 20-shows-a-year plan. “What we’re going to do is, every year we’re going to do a different continent, and we’re going to do 20 shows each year. No more, no less.”

The current plan is to start touring in 2027 — there definitely won’t be any shows this year — with routing taking them to North America, South America and Asia/Oceania. No dates or locations have been announced yet, but O’Brien promises it will be full-on.

 “We want to give absolutely everything each night,” he said of the logic behind the new touring structure that they felt worked very well last year. “We do not ever want it to be like we’re going through the motions or we’re having to run on empty. We’ve got to be able to do it. And you know what? We’re not spring chickens anymore.”

The slower pace makes sense given that O’Brien, 57, noted that from 1990 through 2018 — when the band stopped touring and went on an extended hiatus — “It was pretty much nonstop. It’s all-encompassing and it demands your full attention, and it’s addictive in that way. But it’s not necessarily healthy, because you just keep going, keep going, keep going. And then when you stop, suddenly the ghosts catch up.”

In fact, though the members of Radiohead are old friends who met in their teens and have managed to not just stay together, but thrive and become one of the most beloved modern rock bands of their era, O’Brien said it took last year’s run of shows to remind him just how special their bond is. “That tour was very, very emotional, very profound. We all felt that,” O’Brien said. “We’d look at one another on that stage, like, ‘This is amazing.’ I feel like I’m the luckiest person on the planet, and I’m not just saying that.”

It might also have had something to do with the intense burnout O’Brien felt at the end of Radiohead’s 2018 tour, when he felt quite ready to take a break. “I was done with Radiohead. It had got to a place where I just wasn’t enjoying it. I just didn’t resonate with it anymore, and I wanted to do my own thing,” he said after the difficult sessions for 2016’s A Moon-Shaped Pool album. “I think we’d run out of road. We’d run out of inspiration.” And while the rest of the band wanted to hit the road, O’Brien was reluctant. “I didn’t really want to tour, and they knew that. But I did it and I’m glad I did. I saw it through to the end,” he said.

One of the other things that got him back in the groove was working on his solo album, Blue Morpho (May 22), which gave him enough time away that he could start thinking about getting back into the Radiohead business again. That began with him joining bandmates Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood and Phil Selway at a rehearsal studio in 2024, where they first began discussing a a return.

“We’re like, ‘How do we know if we’re going to be any good?’ And the chemistry was there from the very beginning,” he recalled. “I think we always knew that if we got the love between us right, then it all flows from there.” For now, though, O’Brien made no mention of the group getting back into the studio to record a follow-up to A Moon-Shaped Pool.
