Coachella 2026’s three headliners — Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G — all make waves on the latest Billboard 200 albums chart (dated April 25), following their star turns over the first weekend of the festival (April 10-12).

Bieber has a career-high total of seven albums on the chart — including five re-entries and a debut — led by a top 10 return for SWAG. And all seven post individual gains of at least 100% in equivalent album units earned (in the United States in the week ending April 16) as compared to the previous week, according to Luminate. Carpenter has two titles on the chart, including one in the top 10; while Karol G re-enters the list with Tropicoqueta.

Carpenter, Bieber and Karol G headlined the evenings of April 10, 11 and 12, respectively, over the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and their performances were also livestreamed on YouTube. The trio repeated their headlining turns the following weekend (April 17, 18 and 19), and those gains will be reflected on next week’s charts (dated May 1).

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new April 25, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on April 21.

Bieber’s SWAG zooms 55-7 with 43,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending April 16, a gain of 160% compared to the previous week. The increase was largely owed to streaming activity, as SWAG’s songs generated 42,000 SEA units (up 158%), equaling 41.48 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — across both its SWAG and deluxe SWAG II reissue that contained additional songs. (All versions of the album are combined for tracking and charting.)

Five more Bieber sets re-enter the list: Purpose (No. 32 with 22,000 units; up 173%), Believe (No. 34 with 21,000, up 241%), My World 2.0 (No. 38 with 20,000, up 268%), Justice (No. 110 with 13,000, up 100%) and My World (No. 147 with 12,000, up 563%).

Debuting on the chart is Bieber’s 12-year-old album Journals, entering at No. 111 with nearly 13,000 units earned (up 192%). Journals was originally released exclusively for purchase only in the iTunes Store on Dec. 23, 2013. However, sales from the iTunes Store were not reported to Luminate (then-named Nielsen SoundScan), and in turn, the title did not debut on the Billboard 200. The album eventually became widely available to all digital download and streaming services (and eventually iTunes began reporting the album’s weekly sales), and on CD and vinyl, but this week marks the first week the album had enough activity to chart in a single week.

With seven albums on the Billboard 200 at the same time, that marks the most titles Bieber has placed on the tally concurrently. The most he’s ever had on the chart at once is four, last achieved in January 2012.

As for Carpenter, her former No. 1 Man’s Best Friend jumps back into the top 10, climbing 18-10, with 40,000 equivalent album units earned, up 44%. Like SWAG, Man’s Best Friend mostly gained from streaming increases — it earned 34,000 SEA units (up 60%), equaling 34.39 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs.

Carpenter’s previous set, Short n’ Sweet, sizzles with a 24-17 jump (nearly 31,000 units, up 23%).

Rounding out the Coachella headliners is Karol G, who sees her Tropicoqueta album re-enter at No. 116 with nearly 13,000 units (up 51%).

SYDNEY, Australia – Fifteen years after Poof Doof first began spreading joy at parties across Australia, the legendary queer events and nightclub brand is entering the label business.

Poof Doof Records launches proper today with its first release, “All I Need,” from resident Poof Doof artist Jimi the Kween, the beloved drag queen and musician.

The label is an extension of the colorful business formed in Melbourne in 2011 by founder and Anthony “Hockers” Hocking. “We built up the community and we’ve seen so many young, queer artists come through the doors and perform and play for our events, that it was kind of like a natural progression to start our label,” Hocking tells Billboard.

Its mission: to continue uplifting, nurturing and providing pathways for queer talent in Australia. And to share their music with the world. The new venture, Hocking continues, “has been on my mind for many years.”

Distribution is handled by AWAL Records, with Poof Doof Records partnering with Positive Feedback and Powerhouse Management, and with John Davis, creative director / festivals co-ordinator, playing a guiding hand.

In its early stages, the label will accept submissions. “Over time,” explains Davis, “we intend to evolve toward a more traditional A&R model, proactively identifying and developing emerging queer talent.”

The inspiration behind the first release isn’t hidden from view; it’s right there in the title. “All you really need is the people that love and support you around to lift you up and have a really good time,” Jimi the Kween tells Billboard. “So it’s kind of all centered on being around like-minded humans and celebrating each other, and then you can, you know, live your fantasies and be yourself. So that’s also kind of why it’s the perfect message for the first release on the label, too. The messaging behind it is celebration, and it’s pride, it’s joy.”

Poof Doof’s cheeky name made the leap into Australia’s mainstream many years ago, where the team has hosted major activations, including queer precincts and stage takeovers at such shows as Splendour In The Grass, Beyond The Valley and Pitch Festival. Wherever Aussies want to party.  

Many of the biggest names in dance music have played its stages, including Carl Cox, Faithless, Seth Troxler, Melanie C, the Veronicas and many others.

Each year, the brand is front and center at Sydney Mardi Gras, getting the good times humming with a series of pool, boat and underwear parties, culminating in its iconic Mardi Gras Parade After Party. Its specialized events include Red Rave, Snap Crackle Pop XXL, POOF DOOF Drag Brunch and outdoor micro-festivals including A Gay On The Lawn and Yasss Queens Park.

“The Poof Doof audience at heart, a Poof Doof party, can be absolutely anything,” explains Davis, “but at the core of it, it’s about queer joy. Uplifting the community, good fun. Fun is the name of the game. If we’re not having fun, you’re not having fun. We are always about having a great time, making sure everything is colorful, inclusive.” And yes, “there’s confetti.”

With the launch of Poof Doof Records, out rolls its official website at poofdoofrecords.com. Label submissions can be made at music@poofdoofrecords.com.

Sonically, the label will be a broad palate, welcoming future-forward house and techno tunes, to artist-led pop and other styles. It’s unified not by genre, but by a joyful queer creative perspective, Hocking enthuses.

“If the music’s good, if the songs are good, we’ll put it out,” he says. “We don’t want to overpromise, we don’t want to stretch ourselves. But we’ll see what comes in the door.”

Timing is everything. Poof Doof Records launches ahead of June’s Global Pride Month. WorldPride 2026 will take over Amsterdam from July 25 to Aug. 8, 2026. Poof Doof will be on the ground, representing with its famous parties.

“With what’s going on, the world’s a pretty wild place right now,” notes Hocking. “All I Need” is a “feel good song that really speaks out to communities all over the world. The timing is right.”

Goldenvoice, the promoter of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is facing more than $40,000 in fines after running over time on weekend two of the desert festival, a representative of the City of Indio has confirmed with Billboard. The festival was charged for going past the 1:00 a.m. curfew set by the city, where the festival has been held since 1999.

While the first weekend of the festival obeyed the curfew, weekend two went over on two days, as first reported by TMZ. On Friday night (April 17), Anyma’s midnight sent went on until 1:09 a.m., which cost the festival $24,000 in fines. And on Saturday (April 18), Justin Bieber’s headlining performance went over by two minutes, costing an additional $20,000.

Coachella has a long-running agreement with Indio city officials that the festival end at 1:00 a.m. each Friday and Saturday night and at 12:00 a.m. on Sundays. According to the agreement, Coachella is fined $20,000 for the first five minutes it exceeds the curfew limit, with additional fines beyond that.

This isn’t the first time Coachella has been hit with curfew fines. Way back in 2009, Goldenvoice paid a $54,000 fine after singer Paul McCartney went a whopping 54 minutes over his allotted time. Last year, the festival was fined $20,000 when Travis Scott went three minutes past curfew on weekend one, while in 2024, a performance by Lana Del Rey cost it $17,000. In 2023, meanwhile, Goldenvoice racked up more than $168,000 in fines after six performers — Bad Bunny, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Skrillex, Fred Again and Four Tet — blew past their curfew times.

Yesterday, Coachella closed out two weekends with headlining performances from Sabrina Carpenter, Bieber and Karol G. The polo grounds will transform this week into Goldenvoice’s country music festival Stagecoach, which runs from April 24-26 with headliners Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone.

Ella Langley is getting her flowers on Billboard’s charts (dated April 25), thanks to the debut of her album Dandelion.

Released April 10 via SAWGOD/Columbia Records, the singer-songwriter’s new album launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 169,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in its opening week (April 10-16), according to Luminate. Langley earns her first leader on the chart, as it arrives with the top weekly total for an album by a woman this year and the biggest one-week sum among country albums by women since Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter in 2024.

Langley concurrently jump two spots to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, where she also leads for the first time. She becomes just the fourth woman to top the chart in its 12-year history on the heels of a country album, following Carrie Underwood, who spent a week at No. 1 in September 2018, Taylor Swift (multiple weeks on top via re-recordings of country projects Red and Fearless) and Megan Moroney, who ruled for the first time last month.

Langley also places 15 songs from Dandelion on the Billboard Hot 100, led by seven-week No. 1 “Choosin’ Texas.” Here’s a recap of her entries on the chart (all debuts except where noted).

Rank, Title:
No. 1, “Choosin’ Texas” (No. 1 for seventh week)
No. 4, “Be Her” (up from No. 8; new high)
No. 20, “Bottom of Your Boots”
No. 21, “Loving Life Again” (up from No. 38; new high)
No. 27, “Dandelion” (up from No. 46; new high)
No. 53, “Broken”
No. 54, “We Know Us”
No. 55, “You & Me Time”
No. 62, “Low Lights”
No. 63, “Speaking Terms”
No. 71, “Butterfly Season,” with Miranda Lambert
No. 75, “Somethin’ Simple”
No. 76, “Last Call for Us”
No. 80, “I Gotta Quit”
No. 83, “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”

As Langley simultaneously rules the Artist 100, Hot 100 and Billboard 200, she becomes just the sixth woman to lead all three charts in the same week (dating to the Artist 100’s 2014 launch), joining Swift, Adele, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo. The only other artists to lead all three in the same week this year are Swift (on the Jan. 10-dated chart) and Bruno Mars (March 14).

Langley also becomes just the 11th woman to top the Billboard 200 this century with a country album. Here’s a chronological rundown of every such set by a woman or all-woman act (based on titles that have hit Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart).
