Ahead of Kehlani’s self-titled album’s arrival later this week, the Bay Area native revealed the decorated guests she’s recruited for collaborations on the project.
Kehlani teamed up with Spotify on Monday (April 20) to reveal her collaborators with a cocktail-friendly trailer. The “Folded” singer didn’t hold back while enlisting a range of R&B and rap titans to join her on the LP.
The Grammy-winning singer has previously teased features from Usher, Clipse and Brandy on the project. In the past, she appeared alongside Wayne on Khalid’s “Location” remix, joined forces with T-Pain on 2021’s “I Like Dat” and collided with Leon Thomas for “Dirt on My Shoes.”
“I’m just growing up. Something happens when you turn 30 — everything’s making sense,” she said of maturing while entering a new decade and era of life. “My motherhood is going incredibly well. My family life, my friends, my whole internal world is finally clicking.”
As far as goals for the eponymous LP, Kehlani hopes to perform with an orchestra at Manhattan’s famed Carnegie Hall and wants to see various tracks get placements in movies.
“I want to do this album at Carnegie Hall with an orchestra,” she added. “I really want some of these songs to make it into movies … and ultimately just have a really historical personal moment for me, and hopefully keep adding to the genre because that’s the coolest thing that ‘Folded’ has done beyond anything — I’m watching the conversation change and I’m a part of it.”
Kehlani will serve as the R&B singer’s fifth album. Her last LP, Crash, arrived in 2024 and debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard 200.
Watch the trailer below and stream Kehlani on Friday (April 24).

Olivia Rodrigo to Make ‘Saturday Night Live’ Hosting Debut With Double-Duty Stint
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.”

Things are certainly coming up roses for Harry Styles fans.
Styles surprised fans on Monday (April 20) with the release of “Harry Live from Funkhaus,” a studio session video of the singer at Berlin’s Funkhaus performing stripped-down versions of three songs from his new album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
The video opens with a title card and cozy winter footage as a piano plays in the background. In the clip, Styles sits on a park bench in the snow, bundled up in a black coat, sneezes and smiles. The video then cuts to a warm studio where Styles is seated at a piano. His bandmates warm up and the group talks about arrangements for the songs they’re about to play.
Styles steps up to the microphone and dons his headphones. He is clad in a yellow sweatshirt that says “KUSS” on the front and “DISKO” on the back, the German words for “kiss” and “disco.”
“There’s been another crime, another crime on page three,” Styles jokes as he and his conductor work out some kinks in the music before they start.
For his first song,”Season 2 Weight Loss,” the singer is accompanied by a chamber orchestra, a drummer and a pianist. As he sings the tune — standing at the microphone with hands on his headphones — he mixes his audio live.
“‘Paint By Numbers,’ take 73,” Styles says into his microphone from his new position at a piano. He is accompanied by strings and a guitarist who also sings the backing vocals for the second song of the set.
“That felt great, I love that one,” one of his instrumentalists says after they finish playing the tune.
For the final track, “Coming Up Roses,” Styles remains at the piano and the string players and the first pianist return. The group is rounded out by an electric bassist. Styles begins the song on the piano accompanied by the orchestra. The performance builds as the string players pivot to using their bows and the pianist joins Styles on the keys.
The video closes out with a shot of Styles at his piano and a card that simply reads, “DAS ENDE.”
Released in March, Styles’ fourth solo studio album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — following in the footsteps of his first three solo records. The album’s lead single “Aperture” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has spent 11 weeks — and counting — on the chart. Alongside “Aperture,” all three of the tracks from “Harry Live from Funkhaus” also hit the Hot 100.

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).

After a successful touring run in 2024 and 2025, Chayanne is hitting the road once again with his Bailemos Otra Vez (Let’s Dance Again) Tour, set to kick off in the U.S. this fall.
Produced by Cardenas Marketing Network (CMN), the 22-date stint will begin Aug. 28 in Milwaukee and run until Oct. 31 in Orlando. In between, the Puerto Rican swooner will visit key cities including Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas and Miami.
Bailemos Otra Vez takes its name from the hit album released in 2023, which debuted at No. 3 on Latin Pop Albums chart, and is home to the saucy “Bailando Bachata,” which reached No. 1 on the Latin Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts—all in 2023.
In 2024, the artist toured North and Latin America with the same trek, marking his grand comeback to the stage since 2020. His Bailemos Otra Vez 2024 tour grossed $87.6 million across 63 dates, and landed No. 29 on the overall Top Tours Year-End 2025 charts, as reported by Billboard Boxscore.
With its return to the states, the 2026 tour “is the last opportunity to see Chayanne perform with the passion and excellence that has fueled his international success, alongside his signature choreography and powerful stage presence that reflects his continued artistic evolution,” according to a press statement.

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.

Coachella dominated headlines once again over the weekend, with a litany of special guests making the festival’s second weekend even buzzier than the first.
After Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna hosted an intergenerational Avengers of Pop convention at the former’s Friday night headlining set (April 17), Justin Bieber brought out several special guests during his Saturday night headlining set (April 18), including SZA, Billie Eilish and Big Sean. Keeping in line with the surprise guest theme, Cardi B celebrated her Sunrise, Fla., Little Miss Drama Tour stop (April 14) by bringing out female rap icon Trina and King of Dancehall Vybz Kartel.
While Coachella continued its reign in California, Ice Spice got active in a different way during a trip to the Golden State over the weekend. The Grammy-nominated rapper was involved in a physical confrontation with another woman while enjoying a meal at Hollywood McDonald’s, unaccompanied by security. According to security footage obtained by TMZ, after Ice rejected the other patron’s advances for a conversation, the young lady slapped the Bronx native across the face, resulting in an altercation that morphed into a multi-person brawl in the middle of the street. In a statement to Billboard, Ice Spice’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, said that he and his team will explore all avenues to “hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions.”
Finally, several hip-hop and R&B icons were announced as part of the newest class of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees last week (April 13), including Sade, Luther Vandross, Wu-Tang Clan, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Rick Rubin. Despite winning the fan vote, New Edition unfortunately did not make the cut this year.

Billy Strings was most of the way through a second show at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday night (April 18) when an offstage incident reportedly shut down the show before the Grammy-winning bluegrass star couple play an encore.
While Strings has not yet commented on the mishap in detail, according to Roanoke’s WFIR News, the 33-year-old picker broke his leg during the second of two sold-out shows at the arena when he attempted a kick flip on his skateboard backstage and went down in a heap. Strings posted an X-ray of the aftermath in which serious breaks of his tibia and fibula are visible just above the ankle. The singer/guitarist did not add any additional comment other than the date of the show and a leg emoji.
He also included the show’s setlist, featuring evidence that (per Setlist.fm) Strings did not play the same kind of 5-6 encore set he performed at the venue the previous night. Responding to a “get well soon” comment from the band Thursday, Strings wrote, “understanding in a skateboard accident,” appearing to confirm that the accident was skate-related.
There doesn’t appear to be video of the incident — and a spokesperson for Strings had not returned Billboard‘s request for comment at press time — though Strings did post a killer pic on Saturday of himself pulling off a sky-high ollie backstage, his board several feet off the ground, as well as another shot in which he’s skateboarding his gear around before that night’s show.
In comments on his X-ray post, Strings jokingly responded to a fan who wrote, “we all saw this coming with the skating vids,” in reference to the singer’s earlier skating-related clipsand avowed love of riding, with the admission, “I know [sighing emoji] y’all were right.”
Strings is slated to perform at a sold-out show in Charleston, W.V. at the Charleston Coliseum on Wednesday (April 22), with another three sold out shows on tap at the Fishers Event Center in Fishers, Ind. from April 24-26. He then has a significant break on tap before a taping of Austin City Limits on July 2.
In responses to fans questions about possible show postponements or cancellations in the X-ray post on Monday morning (April 20), Strings wrote, “info coming very soon.”

BTS‘ new album ARIRANG was a collaborative labor of love for the band, with at least a few members credited as songwriters on every single track. But according to Jung Kook, there’s one thing about the creative process that he’s still kicking himself for months later.

In a candid moment from his individual interview with Rolling Stone posted Monday (April 20), the boy band’s youngest member opened up about his feelings toward co-writing four of the 14 songs on ARIRANG. “I don’t know if I would call it pride?” he began. “But I did feel really great.”
“It’s been a long time since we chose the songs and everything, but there’s one thing I still think about, which is: Why didn’t I do a little more?” Jung Kook continued. “Two months is a really long time. Couldn’t I have done more?”
He added, “I have a lot of regrets about that.”
The singer may wish he’d done more, but he and his bandmates clearly had a lot on their plate already with the making of ARIRANG. Jung Kook personally helped pen the tracks “Alien,” “FYA,” “2.0” and “Hooligan,” all four of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
Of the lattermost, Jung Kook recalled to the publication how he “came up with the flow immediately” after hearing the beat and instantly “got to work” crafting the hook. When his bandmates voted to include “Hooligan” on the LP, he says it “felt awesome … that rocked.”
ARIRANG is currently on its third week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It marks the septet’s first full-length as a group since 2020; BTS is now on a massive global stadium tour in support of the comeback.
