Adéla‘s “Nicole Kidman” has already won over its namesake, and now another pop icon is getting in on the fun: Madonna.

The Queen of Pop soundtracked a new TikTok with the rising star’s viral track, sharing a clip of herself posing in a striking gold dress while appearing to get ready for a formal event. The video gives the song another stamp of approval from an established pop star as it continues to gain momentum, proving that when it comes to feeling like Nicole Kidman, the invitation extends to musical royalty.

Madonna using the song is an incredible, notable moment for Adéla as she continues to scale the charts and climb to the summit of pop stardom. The Slovak singer released her debut album, PRIMA, in September, introducing listeners to her bold, theatrical brand of pop. The project made an immediate impression on the charts, debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

“Nicole Kidman,” meanwhile, has become one of the album’s most defining songs. The track recently rose to No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the star her first top 10 Hot 100 hit. Its catchy title and playful celebration of confidence and manifestation have helped it find an audience across social media, with celebrities adding their own spin to the phenomenon. Among the list of stars who have participated in the trend are Kesha, Tove Lo, Pedro Pascal, Dua Lipa and Kristen Wiig.

Kidman herself has also previously embraced the song, helping bring its real-life namesake into the conversation surrounding the track. Madonna’s new TikTok adds another layer to story, connecting Adéla’s internet-fueled breakthrough with one of pop music’s most iconic superstars.

And Madonna knows a thing or two about chart success. Across her career, she has earned 12 No. 1 hits on the Hot 100 and nine No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, establishing her title as the Queen of Pop.

For Adéla, a nod from an artist with that kind of legacy is another exciting moment as “Nicole Kidman” continues its chart run. The song’s premise is all about channeling the confidence and glamour of a Hollywood star — and with Madonna now using it as her soundtrack, the fantasy feels right at home in the pop universe.

Sienna Spiro is the first major international star announced for next month’s 2026 ARIA Awards.

The British pop artist will make her ARIAs debut when she performs on stage at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, just weeks after the release of her debut album Visitor. 

When she graces the stage, Spiro will add herself to the lineup of international stars who’ve performed at Australian recording industry’s flagship awards, a list that includes Alicia Keys, Ava Max, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Kane Brown, Khalid, Lorde, One Direction, Robbie Williams, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift and Olivia Dean, who has been a force on the ARIA Charts since her performance at the 2025 edition.

Spiro’s Visitor peaked at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart in July and has racked up 14th consecutive weeks on the tally.

The breakthrough artist has already accumulated more than 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify, headline sponsor of the ARIAs, and 2 billion streams in total, bagged three simultaneous Billboard Hot 100 singles and six entries on the ARIA Singles Chart. “Die On This Hill” is certified platinum by ARIA, while “You Stole The Show,” “MAYBE,” “Material Lover” and “The Visitor” are all certified Gold in these parts.

In her homeland, Spiro has six top 40 hits including a No. 1 with “Great Expectation,” which she performed last month at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles. She also collected the Moonman for best new artist. Visitor peaked at No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart.

Spiro’s trip to the ARIAs will mark her second trip to Australia following an intimate fan event last year at Pleasure Club in Newtown, Sydney. She’ll return in January 2027 for her Visitor Tour, which sold out in a matter of hours.

“So excited and honored to be performing at the 2026 ARIA Awards,” Spiro says in a statement. “I love Australia and can’t wait to be back!” 

With eight nominations each, Tame Impala and Genesis Owusu head the pack for the 40^th annual ARIA Awards, while Ecca Vandal is close behind with seven chances. All told, 29 artist categories will be announced on the night.  

The 2026 ARIA Awards is supported by Destination NSW, in partnership with Spotify, and will be live on Paramount+ and broadcast on 10. Performances and moments will also be available on the @ARIA.official YouTube channel.

Miranda Lambert is celebrating her husband Brendan McLoughlin’s birthday by putting a new spin on the longest-leading Billboard Hot 100 hit of all time. And who better to craft new lyrics for Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” than the woman who co-wrote them in the first place?

Lambert took to Instagram to share a series of photos and videos for McLoughlin’s 35th birthday on Wednesday (Oct. 14), alongside the caption: “Happy Birthday @brendanjmcloughlin. 35 looks good on you! Well everything looks good on you but that smile is my favorite ! I love you!”

In addition to pics of McLoughlin poolside, wearing cowboy boots on his hands, holding up Whataburger bags, fishing or riding a jet ski, Lambert also shared a few videos. There’s the one that paints a pretty clear picture of their life in rural Tennessee, showing McLoughlin driving down a country road while Lambert sits shotgun with her feet propped on the windowsill and their dog in the backseat. Then there’s one in which McLoughlin can be seen sweetly lacing Lambert’s pink low-top Jordans.

But the best video is the final one, which was shot in a hotel bathroom, with Lambert serenading her husband as he gets ready for a night out in Sin City.

“He’s in Vegas I can tell by the way he wants to leave the room,” Lambert sings in her unmistakable twang, set to the tune of the “Choosin’ Texas” chorus. “Judging by the smile that’s written on his face, he’s got a lot to lose.” (McLoughlin laughs as he admits to his wife, “That’s true!”) Lambert keeps singing to finish up the chorus: “It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see, Brendan’s gonna gamble until he’s/ Drinkin’ Jack all by himself, he’s in Vegas I can tell.”

Lambert is all too familiar with “Choosin’ Texas,” as she co-wrote and co-produced the song alongside Langley, as well as co-writers Luke Dick and JoyBeth Taylor and co-producer Ben West. The song has since rewritten the Hot 100 record book, spending 24 weeks atop the chart and surpassing the previous benchmark set by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” with 22 weeks at No. 1.

McLoughlin and Lambert started dating in November 2018 before getting married only a few months later in January 2019 in Tennessee. In addition to her work with Langley, Lambert put out her 10th solo album Crisco on Oct. 2, which debuts at No. 4 on the Top Country Albums chart this week.

Some albums make you cry, some make you dance, and others apparently make you feel so much that your stomach can’t handle it. Just ask Hailey Bieber.

The model and Rhode founder recently showed love for Rosalía’s LUX, sharing a pretty enthusiastic reaction to the Spanish singer’s 2025 album on her Instagram Story.

“You know when an album makes you wanna throw up in a good way?” Bieber wrote with a smiley-face emoticon.

It’s a dramatic description, but truthfully anyone who has fallen headfirst into an album they can’t stop listening to probably knows the feeling. And when it comes to LUX, Rosalía laid all her cards flat for fans to get lost in.

Released in November 2025, the singer’s fourth studio album takes an ambitious approach to pop, weaving orchestral arrangements and classical influences into her ever-evolving sound. Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Bjarnason, the project features a wide-ranging collection of musical collaborators, including Björk, Carminho, Estrella Morente and Yves Tumor.

Across its 15-track digital edition, LUX explores themes of spirituality, desire, heartbreak and transformation, with Rosalía delivering vocals in multiple languages. The result is a sweeping, adventurous record that pushes the boundaries of traditional Latin and pop music.

LUX also had a massive presence on the charts, debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 dated Nov. 22, 2025, earning Rosalía her first top 10 on the all-genre albums chart. The album also debuted at No. 1 on five different charts: Top Latin Albums, Top Latin Pop Albums, Classical Albums, Classical Crossover Albums and World Albums. That achievement made Rosalía the first artist to debut at No. 1 on all five charts simultaneously.

It looks like there’s no hard feelings between A$AP Rocky and FERG over the latter’s decision to change his name and the former’s subsequent comments regarding said name change.

FERG took to his Instagram feed to announce that the follow-up to his third solo album Darold is finished and put out an APB for a distributor. “I just finished my new album,” he wrote in a screenshot that he posted. “Who wants to distribute it?”

Rocky raised his hand, with the Harlem rapper hopping in the comments to congratulate his friend and seemingly offering up the services of his AWGE label. “U know where home is,” he wrote in a comment that included a red heart emoji. “Congratulations.”

The two have been going back and forth through the media recently after each has been asked about FERG dropping the A$AP from his stage name. While the decision hasn’t necessarily created a riff between the two old friends and collaborators, Rocky did express disappointment. “I saw a couple interviews where he was just like, he ain’t A$AP and he dropped A$AP from his name,” he told Apple Music. “That sh– bothered me but I ain’t gon’ hold it against him, and I wish him the best.”

FERG responded in an interview with Complex, saying that removing A$AP from his name was about growth. “I feel like that’s a personal thing for him,” he said about Rocky saying he was initially “bothered” by the decision. “You could feel how you want to feel, but at the end of the day, it’s like I got to follow my truth for sure and how I feel. And there’s nothing wrong with growing.”

As FERG gets set to drop his upcoming project, Rocky is gearing up to do his first Australia and New Zealand tour in eight years with five dates in December.
