Louis Tomlinson‘s latest solo album, Faith in the Future, has topped this week’s new music poll.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Nov. 11) on Billboard, choosing Faith in the Future as their favorite new music release of the past week.
Tomlinson’s latest release brought in more than 62% of the vote, beating out new music by Wizkid, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna and more.
Although he unfortunately kicked off release week for his new album with a broken arm and some rescheduled appearances, Tomlinson dropped his sophomore solo album on Friday. The 14-track LP features lead single “Bigger Than Me,” “Out of My System” and “Silver Tongues.”
“I think this record, every song is about something slightly different But I think there is something, there’s the element of change that keeps coming back. There’s definitely a lot of nostalgia in there, because I’ve been thinking about getting older and all that kind of thing. So I think there is a kind of invisible concept that ties it all together, if you know what I mean,” he told Billboard of the pop/rock-oriented collection of songs.
In comparison to his first solo album, Walls, Tomlinson noted, “I think that was a lot of me working out who I was coming out of the band. And it’s not to say I wasn’t true to myself in the band, but I was in that band and I was part of that band — it wasn’t just me. It took a second to me to work that development stage out, whereas I think I did have a clearer picture on this record.”
Trailing behind Tomlinson’s Faith in the Future on the fan-voted poll is Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego — the Nigerian singer’s first follow-up to 2020’s Made in Lagos — with 33% of the vote.

Ballast Books is postponing the release date of its planned Aaron Carter memoir, Aaron Carter: An Incomplete Story of an Incomplete Life, following the singer’s death.
The decision was made, according to Scott Atherton, Atherton Galardi Mullen & Reeder PLLC founder and rep for both the publisher and the memoir’s co-writer, Andy Symonds, “out of respect for the Carter family.”
“My client has decided to defer the further release of the book at this time,” Atherton said in a statement. “Mr. Carter was not just a celebrity but also a father, a brother, a son and a friend to many still grieving for him.”
A new date was not given for the unfinished memoir, which was previously set to be released Nov. 15, according to the publisher. The delay follows a statement from Carter’s rep denying the singer was involved or wanted the title to be published.
“Aaron, in the midst of [working on the book], said, ‘I want nothing to do with this’ and stopped, so the fact that the publisher is saying it’s greenlit, it’s not,” a rep for Carter told Page Six. “That’s against Aaron’s wishes.”
As part of the delay announcement, Atherton asserted in a statement that “Aaron Carter wanted his story told.”
“And he wanted our client, Andy Symonds, a well-respected journalist and author, to tell that story with all its beauty and rawness,” the statement continued. “Public attention has recently focused on a small number of interactions during Mr. Carter’s early years. The more important story is about Mr. Carter’s life and what people can learn from his professional success, personal struggles and tragic passing.”
Symonds had worked with Carter on the memoir for three years, according to a Nov. 9 release announcing the publication of the unfinished book.
In a separate statement previously given to Billboard, the late singer’s management called the decision to release the “unauthorized” memoir posthumously “obscenely disrespectful.”
“In the few short days following our dear friend’s passing we have been trying to grieve and process while simultaneously having to deal with obscenely disrespectful and unauthorized releases,” Carter’s team said. “This is a time for mourning and reflection not heartless money grabs and attention seeking.”
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to a rep for Carter.
The singer and brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter was found dead at the age of 34 in his Lancaster, California, home on Nov. 5 with no cause of death given at the time.

After taking with selfies with fans and posing for photographers on the red carpet on Sunday (Nov. 13), Swift took home four awards: best artist, best video, best pop and best longform video for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).”
One dress wasn’t enough for Swift, who arrived in a dress featuring a low-cut, black bodysuit with a bejeweled, netted skirt, but had changed into a bedazzled minidress with a polo collar by the time of her best artist acceptance speech.
Both dresses are by designer David Koma, as pointed out by fan account Taylor Swift Style.
“Wow,” Swift said upon accepting her award for best artist. “First of all, I just want to say I have so much respect and admiration for my fellow nominees. I wanted to say to the fans I had an album come out recently called ‘Midnights,’ and I’m so blown away. You have no idea how much it means to me to even get to do this as a career. So I just wanted to say, personally, from me to you: The fact that you have done what you’ve done, supporting that album, being excited about that album and loving it … There’s not a single moment I take that for granted. I love you so much. I can’t believe I get to do this as a job. It’s all because of you. Thank you, so, so much.”

Louis Tomlinson‘s album release week took an unexpected turn.
The former One Direction member, who released his sophomore studio set, Faith in the Future, on Friday (Nov. 11), has been forced to postpone some promotional appearances after breaking his arm after a concert at New York City’s Irving Plaza.

“Thank you everyone that’s listened to the new album so far, it means the world to me. The show last night in New York was incredible. Unfortunately on the way back I managed to fall and break my right arm pretty badly,” Tomlinson told fans on social media, where he uploaded X-ray images of the broken bone.
“So I’m gutted to say I’ll have to reschedule the in-store signings next week,” he wrote. “New dates will be announced very soon. Thank you for all your support and sorry to anyone who was coming next week.”
Tomlinson’s Faith in the Future arrives nearly three years after his debut solo outing Walls, which bowed at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 upon its January 2020 release.

Quavo shared an emotional tribute to his nephew Takeoff after the shocking death of the Migos rapper. Takeoff (born Kirshnik Khari Ball) was shot and killed on Nov. 1 in Houston, Texas. He was 28.
“Dear Take, it’s so hard to tell you Ima miss you because you always with me and we did everything together,” Quavo wrote on Instagram on Saturday (Nov. 12), where he also shared a slideshow of personal photos the day after a memorial service for Takeoff. The two, along with Offset, make up the Grammy-nominated trio Migos. During their career together, the three-piece released four studio albums, two of which — Culture (2017) and Culture II (2018) — debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 1.
Quavo wrote, “Since we were kids you been by my side lookin up at me, them eyes waiting on me to make the next move.. then you followed up right behind me. You always made sure I did it first so you can do it right with me. You never competed with me, we were always on same team. You hated playing against me because I was always playing too hard or too ruff then I can hear my mama say ‘sonnnn not too ruff’ cuz I didn’t like to lose!”
“Remember, our first dream was to be tag team partners in WWE. We fell in love with WWF wresting.. man we had every action figure. Thought we was gonna be pro wrestlers cuz the way he imitated all the wrestlers so good and if you know Take, his imitation skills are to the T.. he could imitate anybody just ask Danny and P,” he recalled.
“Super quiet though, quietest in the room but paid attention to everything going on in the room, always been like that!!!” Quavo said of Takeoff. “Nothing ever really bothered Take and he didn’t bother anybody. He the most unbothered person in the world. He never got mad, he never raised his voice, and when he did, he silenced the room because what Take said was law and he wasn’t changing his mind fa na, not even Unc could, you just gotta let em cool off for bout 30 mins.”
“But by far the funniest person in room,” he added. “Once you got him goin he wouldn’t stop.”
Quavo remembered that “last but not least he took time with everything. We called it the ‘Takeoff Time.’ Whenever we would be running late to the shows he would always say ‘God will get us there on time.’ Some shows God did, some shows we were late. Point is he trusted God though.”
Quavo credited Takeoff with starting their musical journey.
“Throughout this whole time he had a REAL passion for music,” he said. “It was HIS dream to become a rapper cuz I didn’t kno what I wanted to do. I tried everything, all the sports. After every game I would come home and he would just sit there playing the game with the controller in his hand looking, and look at my face and he could tell we lost another game. So sports wasn’t his thing cuz he saw me lose all the time. This is how I knew he was gonna be a rapper. Growing up he knew every song off the Hot Boyz album, every lyric word for word and he was cursing up a storm. Mama heard him rapping, took the CD and said that music was too grown for us.. until we won the Boys and Girls Club talent show together performing ‘Get Ya Roll On’ by Big Timers, it was all good then.”
“So it’s safe to say we had something going then. It came easy to us when it came to style and swag. We were always looking like somebody cuz our mama dressed us like rappers or grown men as u can see in the pictures! Our clothes were huge but we had the look!!! Then he created his triplet flow and the rest was HISTORY. He never worried about titles, credit, or what man got the most shine, that wasn’t him. He didn’t care about none of that as long we brought it back home to the family!” wrote Quavo.
He then reflected on their close relationship and called Takeoff the family’s “angel.”
“The whole time I’ve been trying to figure what you really are to me because nephew wasn’t it,” he said. “We hated that word ‘nephew’ or when they said ‘Unc and Phew’ cuz we always knew we were way closer than that and it made me feel old too. But I knew you weren’t my brother cuz you are my sister’s son, so I couldn’t say brother. Now I finally get it… you are OUR angel watching me and watching us this whole time in living form making sure EVERYONE FELT UR LOVE AND HUGS while u here and u made our dreams come true. Whenever u spoke it, it manifested it wen u said ‘God gonna do it,’ he did it. I’m just proud be in your life, I’m proud to be ya UNCLE. I’m proud we saw the world and done things we couldn’t ever imagine together. We laughed way more than we ever argued and when we did I always was in the wrong every time… I guess mama made that rule too! I’m proud to say I’ve seen your blessings, I’ve seen you bless me, you blessed mama, you blessed Shara, you blessed Treet, Heaven and Zeke. You will continue to send your blessings down from Heaven and I will continue to keep your name alive as long as I live.”
“It’s always my responsibility to look after my nephews and nieces. I will do that before we make moves or any decision we always gon say ‘what would Take think?’ Always been, ain’t nun gonna change,” Quavo wrote. “Me and u knew we gon always be with each other for life and jus like now we gon see each other again. I love you with all my heart. I’ll never leave you I guess God jus ain’t need my help. So can you ask Him for me what I gotta do to be with you again!!! In a place where there’s no pain, no demons, no jealousy, no envy, no greed. Whatever we have to do God to be at that place of paradise send us the tools now cuz we wanna be with Take. Love you nephew!”
