Coco is getting a sequel. Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger said Thursday (March 20) that Coco 2 is currently in development at Pixar Animation Studios.
“While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will be full of humor, heart and adventure,” Iger said at the company’s shareholders meeting.

The sequel will reunite the creative team behind the first, including directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina. Coco followed Miguel, a 12-year-old boy with musical dreams who goes to the Land of the Dead to find out more about his family’s history.
The original grossed over $814 million at the worldwide box office and won two Oscars, for best animated feature and best song for the catchy hit “Remember Me.” It also won a Golden Globe and the BAFTA for best animated film.
Coco was Pixar’s first feature film with a lead character from a minority group, and one of the largest American productions ever to feature an almost entirely Latino cast.
Coco 2 is reportedly eyeing a 2029 theatrical release.

Lizzo is ready for fans to feel some Love in Real Life.
The superstar took to Instagram on Wednesday (March 19) to reveal that her upcoming album, Love in Real Life, is officially complete. “ALBUM IS DONE YALL!” she wrote, alongside a photo of herself in the studio, struggling to smile, which she explained in the second half of the caption: “ASTROLOGY EXPERTS Do my mercury got micro braids? Cus I got an emergency root canal, announced SNL & finished my album all in one day today.”
The astrology comment is play on the term Mercury retrograde, which is an astronomical illusion and phenomenon where the planet Mercury appears to move backward in its orbit from the Earth’s perspective. During the retrograde, astrology enthusiasts believe that communication, technology and travel is disrupted.
The star will make her fourth appearance on Saturday Night Live as musical guest alongside host Jon Hamm for the April 12 show. She made her debut on the show in 2019, and returned twice in 2022.
Lizzo has already released two songs from her upcoming album, “Still Bad” and the title track. Aside from “Pink” for Greta Gerwig’s 2023 Barbie soundtrack, the first singles from the project mark the Yitty founder’s first proper releases since 2022’s Special, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “About Damn Time.”
In a recent interview with SiriusXM’s The Heat With Swaggy Sie, she revealed her inspirations for the album. “We can’t even cap in our rap and say that [Michael Jackson] didn’t inspire so much of [the ‘Love in Real Life’] video. Also, Beyoncé. Her visual albums, like, since ‘B’Day’ she’s been doing visual albums and that’s so f—ing cool to me.”

The Heat Latin Music Awards, commonly known as Premios Heat, will have a new venue this year in Medellin, Colombia.
“IT’S OFFICIAL! Medellín, the city where everything blooms, becomes the home of the HEAT Latin Music Awards 2025. See you in this magical city where music lives and inspires us,” the organization announced early Thursday morning (March 20) in an Instagram post.
Set to take place on May 29, 2025 Premios Heat will take place for the first time in the history of the awards show outside of its usual venue in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic.
Now, the birthplace of reggaeton in South America — and of great figures of the genre such as Karol G, J Balvin, Maluma, Feid, Ryan Castro, among others — will witness the ceremony that recognizes the best of Latin music through public voting.
And it won’t just be the awards night, but an entire week of music with the Heat Medellin Festival, scheduled for May 26-30.
The event, held with the support of the Mayor’s Office of Medellín, seeks to promote the city as a cultural epicenter with this type of event that attracts both locals and tourists, this time to gather around the music industry. Throughout the week there will be different spaces open to the public free of charge, including international conferences, meetings with the press, different networking spaces and showcases.
The programing will be announced at a later date.

A new Paramount+ documentary will dive into the struggles behind Nick Carter and Aaron Carter’s rise to fame, and a new trailer for The Carters shows how much the highs and lows affected the people closest to them.
Told through the eyes of Angel — Aaron’s twin sister — the doc will piece together the Carter family’s “deeply disturbing path” through never-before-seen home movies and exclusive interviews with friends Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis.
In the two-minute trailer, Angel is heard getting emotional as she describes her brother’s troubles, as scenes of the Carters growing up weave through the screen. “Imagine being a child and working like an adult, and having your childhood taken away from you,” she says, before adding, “In our family, mental health disorders run very deep.”
The two-part project will give viewers a “deeply personal look at the extreme highs and tragic lows of a family propelled into the spotlight” by Nick’s boy band career with the Backstreet Boys and Aaron’s rise to solo pop stardom.
Aaron, Nick and Angel are three of five children in their family. They also had a sister named Leslie, who died of an apparent overdose in 2012, and another sister, Bobbie Jean, who died of an accidental overdose in 2023. Aaron died the year prior in an accidental drowning. Nick is currently embroiled in legal battles with three women who have accused him of sexual assault.
Watch The Carters trailer below. The documentary will be available to watch on Paramount+ starting on April 15.
In the ‘90s, Selena Quintanilla singlehandedly revolutionized the Tejano genre, fusing her authentic Mexican roots with bold new sounds such as R&B, pop, dance and rock.
With her bubbly charm, dazzling aura and a universal appeal, which powered hits like “Como La Flor,” “Dreaming of You,” “Amor Prohibido” and “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” the artist, known as the Queen of Tejano, shattered ceilings in a genre that was predominantly dominated by men, earning a zealous fanbase both in the U.S. and in Mexico.
Well on her way to a major mainstream crossover, the Mexican-American powerhouse was tragically shot dead on March 31, 1995 at the age of 23. However, her music and legacy has stood the test of time and, along the way, she’s influenced a new generation of hitmakers, making her a bona fide Latin icon in pop culture 30 years later.
On the Billboard charts, Selena earned 24 entries on Top Latin Albums, 16 of which hit top 10 and seven No. 1’s—among them Amor Prohibido, spending 20 weeks at the top in 1994 and Dreaming of You, released posthumously, which spent 40 weeks at the top in 1995. On the Regional Mexican Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts, the late artist placed seven and six No. 1 titles, respectively. Amor Prohibido topped the former chart for nearly 100 weeks.
As a testament to her enduring legacy, the Quintanilla family released Moonchild Mixes in 2022 — an album with 10 previously unreleased songs that the superstar recorded between the ages of 13 and 16. The set peaked at No. 1 on the Latin Pop Albums chart that same year.
“We as a family had discussed this amongst ourselves that in the future, after Selena’s passing, we were going to maintain her presence through her music and we’ve done that,” A.B. Quintanilla, Selena’s dad, previously told Billboard. “I’m more than sure that the fans are going to love it because if you listen to it, it’ll move you emotionally and take you back to as if Selena was recording it this morning.”
Here, Billboard ranks the albums that make up Selena’s incomparable recorded legacy. There are also a handful of compilation and live albums released throughout her career and after her passing — including Live!, which won the Grammy award for Best Mexican-American Album in 1994 — but while some have entered the Billboard charts, we are ranking only the studio albums released since her EMI Latin label debut in 1989. See our list below.

For the first time ever, Mexico has entered the top 10 global music markets, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) has confirmed to Billboard Español. The milestone was driven by a 15.6% increase in recorded music revenue, as revealed in the IFPI’s 2025 Global Music Report published Wednesday (March 19). Mexico’s climb to No. 10 marks a huge achievement for the country and for Latin America as a whole.
Also on the list, Brazil retains its position at No. 9, making 2024 the first year two Latin American markets appear simultaneously in the top 10, the IFPI also confirmed. According to the report, Brazil is also the fastest-growing top 10 market by far with revenues surging by 21.7% last year.
