Gracie Abrams appears to be brewing new music. Over the past few days, the pop star has shared a number of cryptic posts seemingly teasing a new project in the works — most recently posting a video of a snippet of a song Monday (April 20) on Instagram.

In the clip, Abrams wears a simple red T-shirt and looks at her phone, the light from the screen illuminating her face. A twinkly track plays over the speaker, previewing an ethereal mix of reverberant chimes that cut off right as the singer’s voice hits the first note.

Fans in the replies are as excited as they are impatient for Abrams to reveal what exactly she’s teasing. “OH WE ARE SO BACK,” one person wrote, while another commented, “GIRL STOP TEASING.”

Billboard has reached out to Abrams’ team for more information.

The video comes after a number of other potential clues the hitmaker has posted ahead of her yet-to-be-announced third studio album. In recent days, she’s posted two photos of a journal labeled “3” with a sticker displaying the word “Witch” beneath one such practitioner of magic flying on a broomstick. The most recent snap of the journal, posted on April 16, features three different stickers reading, “DFH.”

It’s no secret that Abrams has been in the studio. This year alone, she’s shared a number of photos of herself in the studio with longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner on Instagram. During her 2024-25 Secret of Us Tour, she was open about working on music whenever she had the time.

“Aaron and I are catching each other in these little pockets between hectic times,” she told Billboard in her 2025 cover story. “Every day that I live with the music, things start to become a little clearer. There’s something we’re starting to crack that is making both of us feel energized.”

The musician last dropped an LP in 2024, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with The Secret of Us.

It really wouldn’t be the Little Miss Drama Tour without some drama. After threatening to cancel her final show in Atlanta, Cardi B got her first headlining trek across the finish line on Saturday night (April 18), but promised her ATL fans she won’t be returning to State Farm Arena.

“I’m pissed off right now, I’m not going to lie. This arena been playing a lot of f—ng games with me. This will be the last time I’m ever in this b—h,” she declared prior to performing “Pretty & Petty.” “Next time, I’m having my concert in the parking lot, b—h! I’m tired of y’all playing with me. This is y’all f—ng second time. I still f—k with the Atlanta Hawks though.”

Before Saturday’s show, an impassioned Cardi hopped on Instagram Live, claiming that the “disrespectful” State Farm Arena employees were mistreating her team.

“Your f—king employees are being disrespectful… I’m not performing today,” Cardi explained during a fiery clash with the arena staff. “We got in here, your employees are being f—king rude for no reason, being rude for no reason. I feel a certain type of way, because you being disrespectful. I did 35 shows, and I never had a problem, and we’ve been kind to everybody.”

Billboard reached out to the Atlanta State Farm Arena for comment and Cardi’s reps for further clarification.

She added in a subliminal tweet on X: “When you hold power and authority, use it with kindness and respect. Never abuse it… because not everyone will endure your arrogance in silence. Treat others exactly like you demand to be treated. Atlanta… I’ll see you soon.”

Cardi brushed off whatever issues she had with the arena staff and delivered a pair of shows to close out the Little Miss Drama Tour in style. The Bronx native brought plenty of stars out for guest appearances across the two dates, with cameos from Mariah the Scientist, Jeezy, T.I. and Missy Elliott.

“I think I need some help to wake y’all up. It’s a lot of y’all, there’s only one of me. So I’ma just bring out this motherf—g legend,” Cardi said while introducing Missy. “Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Missy Elliott!”

The Grammy-winning rapper joined Cardi on stage Saturday night to perform a pair of anthems with “Get Ur Freak On” and “Lose Control.” “Are you f—ng serious? Oh my God, hold on b—h, I’m trying to have a moment. It’s Missy Elliott, b—h, and she came out for me,” Cardi said after Missy departed.

Cardi B’s first headlining North American trek is officially over after 35 dates of the Little Miss Drama Tour. It could continue with a European leg, but Cardi has yet to announce possible shows overseas.

One night she was bored in bed, so Olivia Rodrigo shared not one, but two “Drop Dead” music videos on the internet.

A few days after the premiere of her You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love lead single’s official visual — which featured the pop star frolicking around the Palace of Versailles in Paris — she posted a second video supporting “Drop Dead” on Monday (April 20). Only available to watch on Spotify, the alternate “taken that Eurostar to France” version shows Rodrigo sipping on a Guinness in a London pub, filming herself strolling through the city’s streets and admiring landmarks such as Big Ben before boarding a train, equipped with her guitar case.

Her next destination turns out to be the City of Love, where the Grammy winner sings her lyrics in front of the Eiffel Tower and visits the Arc de Triomphe. “One night, I was bored in bed/ And stalked you on the internet,” she croons. “It’s feminine intuition/ ‘Cause I always had a vision of us standing like this/ All pressed up in the bathroom line/ You’re lookin’ like an angel on the walls of Versailles.”

Rodrigo unleashed “Drop Dead” alongside its official video on Friday (April 17), ushering in the era of her third studio album, which is slated to arrive in June. She last dropped an LP in 2023, topping the Billboard 200 with Guts.

The hitmaker’s alternate visual supporting her single’s streaming performance comes about four months after YouTube announced it would be withdrawing its data from Billboard‘s charts, meaning that the views “Drop Dead” gets on the platform won’t count toward its position on the Billboard Hot 100 next week. To date, Rodrigo has notched 30 entries on the chart, including three No. 1 hits: “Drivers License,” “Good 4 U” and “Vampire.”

D4vd has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez in an alleged plot to shield his burgeoning music career from scrutiny into their underage sexual relationship.  

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman revealed the charges on Monday (April 20), four days after the 21-year-old “Romantic Homicide” singer (David Anthony Burke) was arrested. Hochman said the “brutal and horrific murder” occurred on April 23, 2025 – just two days before the release of D4vd’s debut album Withered, which opened at No. 13 on the Billboard 200.

“Celeste, a 14-year-old at that time, went to Mr. Burke’s house in the Hollywood Hills,” said Hochman during a press conference. “She was never heard from again.”

The decomposed, partial remains of Rivas, a reported runaway from Lake Elsinore, Calif., were found in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to D4vd in September. After police responded to reports of a “foul odor” coming from the car in a Hollywood tow lot, they discovered two black bags containing severed, decomposed body parts that were later identified as Rivas — including a head, torso and limbs.

In addition to first-degree murder, D4vd is charged with having sex with a minor and mutilating a body. His murder charge also has a “special circumstances” enhancement, which makes the maximum sentence death or life in prison without parole. Hochman said his office has not yet determined whether to seek the death penalty.

The “special circumstances” enhancement is tied to D4vd’s alleged motivation for killing Rivas. Prosecutors say Rivas was a witness to a prior crime – that crime being that D4vd, who was 20-years-old at the time, committed “lewd and lascivious sexual acts” with her before she turned 14 – and that the singer murdered her “to maintain his very lucrative music career that Celeste was threatening on that particular night.”

D4vd’s lawyers did not immediately return a request for comment on the charges. Defense attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter said after his arrest last week that they “will vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

“Let us be clear – the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” added D4vd’s lawyers in their initial statement.

D4vd is currently in custody without bail.

D4vd’s career took off in 2022 after his first single, “Romantic Homicide,” went viral on TikTok and eventually hit No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. He released Withered after two EPs and an on opening slot on SZA’s blockbuster SOS tour in 2023.

He had been in the midst of a headlining tour when Rivas’ body was discovered in his car. The tour was cut short, and a deluxe version of Withered was shelved. He’s since been dropped by Darkroom/Interscope Records, Sony Music Publishing and The·Team (formerly Wasserman).

BTS’ “Swim” scores a fourth week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. Three weeks ago, the song debuted as the South Korean superstars’ record-extending eighth leader on each survey.

The latest charts’ upper reaches also sport notable action for a revived Justin Bieber classic and Ella Langley’s smash.

“Swim” tops the Global 200 with 73 million streams (down 12% week over week) and 22,000 downloads sold (down 51%) worldwide April 10-16, according to Luminate. It leads Global Excl. U.S. with 63.4 million streams (down 12%) and 10,000 sold (down 50%) outside the U.S.

Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, blasts onto the Global 200 at No. 4 and Global Excl. U.S. at No. 3, powered on the former by 44.2 million streams — up from just under 10 million the week before — and 3,000 sold worldwide. The song, a No. 6 hit on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 in 2012, was part of his buzzy Coachella performance April 11, a hybrid set that mixed proper live songs with clips of his early hits played directly from YouTube. Bieber adds his ninth top 10 on both global charts.

Meanwhile, Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” climbs 8-5 on the Global 200 with 36.7 million streams (up 18%) and 12,000 sold worldwide (up 13%). As the hit crowns the U.S.-based Hot Country Songs chart for a 21st week, it becomes just the 10th title since the Global 200 began in September 2020 to have led Hot Country Songs and reached the Global 200’s top five:

Elsewhere in the Global 200’s top five, Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” rises 3-2 for a new high and Dominic Fike’s “Babydoll” drops to No. 3 from its No. 2 best.

Further on Global Excl. U.S., “Dracula” holds at its No. 2 highpoint, “Babydoll” falls to No. 4 from its No. 3 peak and BTS’ “Body to Body” dips 4-5 after reaching No. 2.
