Timbaland‘s AI artist TaTa Taktumi (“TaTa”) has signed with Pacific Music Group, a Pan-Asian music and entertainment company founded by NE-YO, Sonu Nigam, MC Jin and Jonathan Serbin. TaTa was created as part of Timbaland’s AI entertainment company Stage Zero, which will continue to be involved in her development, but now, PMG will “exclusive[ly] manage” TaTa across Asia, acting as her record label for all upcoming releases in the region.
Pacific Music Group, founded in 2025 and headquartered in Hong Kong, will start rolling out TaTa’s upcoming releases and collaborations across Asia in the coming months.

Along with the new deal, a press release about TaTa’s signing claimed for the first time that the artist who created TaTa is of Filipino heritage. “While her personal identity remains intentionally private, this acknowledgment reflects the human voice and perspective at the heart of the music as the artist begins to step forward into the spotlight for this next chapter,” the announcement reads. “This moment represents more than a confirmation of heritage. It underscores the vision.”
TaTa’s creation was first announced in June 2025, alongside the founding of Stage Zero. It was noted at the time that TaTa’s music was created by Timbaland with the help of Suno, a popular AI music model. At the time, Timbaland said that “TaTa is a living, learning, autonomous music artist built with AI. TaTa is the start of something bigger. She’s the first artist of a new generation. A-Pop is the next cultural evolution, and TaTa is its first icon.”
“TaTa’s story is about convergence, culture, technology, and identity coming together,” said Serbin, CEO and co-founder at Pacific Music Group. “Revealing her human identity at this moment creates the perfect bridge into Asia. This isn’t just a signing, it’s a homecoming. We are proud to support her as she reconnects with her heritage and builds a new cultural movement from it.”
“Artist development has always been about connecting the imagination of the artist to real people,” Timbaland added. “At Stage Zero we are expanding that process, allowing ideas to take shape across music, visuals, and identity in real time, sometimes even in reverse order. Tata represents a shift towards hyper creativity. It opens the door for a new generation of artists and a new era of entertainment to emerge.”
“This project has always been about blending worlds — technology and humanity, past and future, identity and imagination. With Pacific Music Group, I’m excited to continue exploring what that future can look like,” added TaTa.

A co-writer and featured artist on El Chombo’s 2018 chart-topper “Dame Tu Cosita” claims in a new lawsuit that he hasn’t been fully compensated for the song’s success.
The Jamaican dancehall singer Cutty Ranks (born Philip Thomas) is suing Payday Publishing, Patrick Moxey’s dance music company formerly known as Ultra Music Publishing, for allegedly underpaying his “Dame Tu Cosita” royalties by at least $3 million.

Ranks and El Chombo originally wrote and recorded “Dame Tu Cosita” for the 1997 album Cuentos de la Cripta 2. Two decades later, the song became a social media sensation due to a viral video of an alien dancing to the track. French label Juston Records commissioned El Chombo to record an extended version of the song in 2018, and Karol G and Pitbull later jumped on a remix. The reboot was a huge success; “Dame Tu Cosita” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year.
It was around this time that Ranks signed a pair of licensing deals with Payday, in which he says the publisher promised to administer the Jamaican artist’s composition rights on “Dame Tu Cosita” and send him at least 75% of the royalties. Ranks now alleges in a Wednesday (March 25) lawsuit that Payday hasn’t paid up.
“Plaintiff and defendant had an agreement for defendant to provide certain percentages of net sums received under the agreement,” writes Ranks’ lawyer, Catherine Gibson. “Defendant has failed to remit such sums and has failed to provide an accounting of such sums. As a result of the failure of defendants to perform the terms, conditions and obligations under the co-publishing agreement and administration agreement, plaintiff has suffered substantial damages to be determined at trial.”
Ranks says he sent a notice of default to Payday last year, but to no avail. He’s now seeking at least $3 million for breach of contract, and he also wants the publisher to reimburse his legal fees for the trouble.
A rep for Payday did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday. The company changed its name from Ultra Music Publishing last year after losing a trademark fight with Sony, which bought Moxey’s separate label business, Ultra Records, in 2022.
El Chombo is not involved in the case.
This is not the first time “Dame Tu Cosita” has featured in a legal battle. In 2021, the Jamaican duo Steely & Clevie sued El Chombo, claiming the song infringed their 1989 track “Fish Market.” The case has since ballooned, with Steely & Clevie controversially alleging they invented the classic reggaetón dembow rhythm and that more than 150 different artists, including Bad Bunny, Drake, Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi and Justin Bieber, have copied “Fish Market.” That lawsuit remains ongoing, and a major summary judgment ruling is expected soon.

This week: Afroman turns a headline-capturing legal victory into newfound streaming popularity, while Nothing But Thieves gets a huge look from an Amazon Prime superhero show and 3OH!3 benefits from an animated dance challenge.
Afroman Turns Legal Victory into Streaming Triumphs, Led by “Lemon Pound Cake”
“Because I Got High” rapper Afroman found himself back in the zeitgeist after winning a jury verdict last week (Mar. 18). The jurors sided with the Cali rapper in a lawsuit filed by seven Ohio cops, who claimed the MC defamed them by releasing music videos mocking them after a failed, guns-drawn raid on his home in 2022. Naturally, the quirky lawsuit caught the public’s attention, as did Afroman’s testimony that the music videos fell with his First Amendment rights — a hot-button topic across the States right now. As a result, the rapper’s catalog exploded over 500% in streaming activity in the week following the jury’s decision, according to Luminate.
During the week of his the four-day period leading up to his trial (Mar. 13-16), Afroman’s discography earned 1.12 million official on-demand U.S. streams and just over 100 U.S. digital downloads. In the four-day period following the verdict (Mar. 20-23), those figures jumped 511% to 6.8 million official streams, and 2,113% to over 2,500 paid digital downloads. The buzziest track is “Lemon Pound Cake,” in which Afroman jeers at one deputy for apparently eyeing a cake on his counter. That song jumped 9,353% to 2.12 million official on-demand U.S. streams following the verdict (Mar. 20-23), and leapt a whopping 126,300% to over 1,200 U.S. digital downloads.
The streaming love isn’t exclusive to Afroman’s raid-related joints. His signature hit, the Grammy-nominated “High,” earned over 600,000 official on-demand U.S. streams on the Friday following the verdict (Mar. 20), up 133%.
Lemon Pound Cake, the album that compiles Afroman’s police disses, has already hit No. 8 on Billboard‘s Comedy Albums chart (dated Mar. 28), and bigger gains could very well be in store. — KYLE DENIS
‘Invincible’ Season Premiere Revives Decade-Old Nothing But Thieves Single
English alt-rock band Nothing But Thieves has never totally crossed over on the Billboard charts, but it’s been a fixture on various rock charts for a decade now, since the release of its 2015 self-titled debut album. That set generated multiple hits on the Rock & Alternative Songs chart, and also led to a Billboard Hot 100 hit in 2024 when country superstar Morgan Wallen put his spin on the Nothing But Thieves deep cut “Graveyard Whistling.” But now, it’s one of the less-known singles on the debut that’s getting its moment in the spotlight: “If I Die Tonight.”
The power ballad, which never reached a Billboard airplay, sales or streaming chart during its initial mid-2010s release, got its biggest look yet this month with its inclusion in the latest season of Amazon Prime’s hit animated superhero series Invincible. In the season four premiere, “If I Die Tonight” plays over an opening montage showing the fallout from the previous season’s finale — and plays for over three minutes, giving viewers plenty of opportunity to make it one of the most Shazamed songs in the country the past week.
Plenty of those viewers went on to check out the song on DSPs, as well. After totaling under 17,000 streams during the first four days of the previous tracking week (Mar. 13-16), that number was up to 345,000 for the same period this week (Mar. 20-23) — a gain of 1,942%, according to early data provided by Luminate. It could lead to a big moment for Nothing But Thieves, and to even bigger musical moments on Invincible, now that it’s been confirmed as one of the more valuable shows for synch placements in 2026. – AU
On Feb. 4, user @/hymnuslop shared an original animation featuring two My Little Pony-inspired characters dancing to Denver electro-pop duo 3OH!3’s “Richman,” setting into motion a streaming resurgence for the 18-year-old deep cut. The clip finds one character lip-syncing in the foreground while the other dances in the background — and the trend has now transferred to real people.
User @/janabananathings was the human to kick the trend into high gear with her March 2 post, which has since garnered nearly four million views and over 540,000 likes. The accompanying sound, which originates from user @/hymnuslop’s clip, boasts over 52,000 TikTok posts. The official 3OH!3 TikTok account got in on the fun, sharingseveralclips of the EDM duo performing the song throughout the years.
The week user @/janabananathings shared her video (Feb. 27-Mar. 5), “Richman” logged 429,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, up 193% from the week prior. The following week (Mar. 6-12), which accounts for a full week of the trend truly taking off, that figure leapt a further 133% to a little over one million official on-demand U.S. streams. Continuing its ascent, “Richman” jumped another 44% to 1.44 million official streams the next week (March 13-19).
Over the past four weeks, “Richman” has exploded over 1,800% in streaming activity, bringing 3OH!3 back into the center of the pop conversation — with a song that was never even an official single. — K.D.

When did wired earbuds become cool again? From Harry Styles to Charli XCX, stars have been spotted ditching their wireless earbuds in favor of being tethered to their phones, and it seems the previously-dated look is now an instant status symbol.
Styles can’t seem to put his wired earbuds down, judging by photos of the Kiss All the Time singer wearing them while out jogging or walking around New York City recently. Model and influencer Romeo Beckham recently posted photos of himself using the wired earphones while getting ready for Fashion Week. And Dua Lipa revealed that she keeps not one, but three pairs of wired earbuds with her at all times.
Harry Styles is seen on March 24, 2026 in New York City.

Of course there are many reasons why wired earbuds are better than wireless ones: for starters, they’re less likely to fall out of your ears and disappear into some crack or crevice on the road, or on your commute. Many people also find them more comfortable, since they’re pretty “locked in” to your ears rather than dangling from your lobes precariously.
Wired earbuds are also better for sound quality, owing to the direct connection to your music source rather than relying on Bluetooth pairing. Dropped calls or music fading in and out? That’s not a problem with wired earbuds (well… at least not dropped calls due to phone pairing issues). And wired earbuds never require a battery source or charging, since they plug directly into your phone. Wireless earbuds require you to keep them charged or carry them in an accompanying charging case.
What Are the Best Wired Earbuds?
There are a number of decent wired earbuds that you can buy online these days. Of course, wired earbuds (and wired headphones) saw a decline in popularity a few years ago when cell phone providers got rid of the headphone jack on most units. But you can now find popular wired earphones with USB-C connections, including the popular Apple Earbuds (seen below). The USB-C plug lets you easily affix your earbuds to your phone, using the same slot you would use for charging.
Apple’s official wired earbuds are dubbed the “EarPods” (get it? Compared to the Bluetooth AirPods?) and they feature two ergonomic earbuds attached to an approximately three-foot cord. The cord has a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, change songs and even answer calls with just the push of a button.
It’s not just for listening to music or watching videos — Apple says the EarPods have a built-in microphone that automatically focuses on your voice when you’re on a call, so you always come in loud and clear. Amazon says more than 10,000 shoppers have picked up these buds in the last few weeks alone — another sign of the wired comeback. At less than $20 a pair, you can pick up earbuds for home, work and travel without breaking the bank. And there’s no worry if you misplace them either, unlike pricier buds that you can (literally) not afford to lose.
These EarPods work best for previous iPhone models
The Apple EarPods with USB-C connection support iPhone models 15 and up. Have an older phone and still want to connect with a pair of wired earbuds? Pick up the EarPods with a lightning cable connection above. It has all the same features as the USB-C pair, only with a different plug-in tip.
You can also find an Apple EarPods alternative on Amazon, with these USB-C wired earphones above, which are compatible with both iOs and Android devices. This pair also comes with a mini remote control plus three eartip sizes to help you find your most comfortable fit.
There is one annoying issue with wired earbuds — the dangling cords. Without a charging case to tuck your earbuds into, the cords can quickly become a tangled mess in your pockets or bags. Fortunately, you can pick up a basic cord organizer or earphone wrap, like the one from Amazon below.

From gin and juice to lights, camera, action, Snoop Dogg is stepping onto the big screen again.
On Wednesday (March 25), Deadline reported that Snoop will be starring in God Of The Rodeo, a new film written and directed by Rosalind Ross. On top of leading the film on-screen, Snoop will also be taking on two major behind-the-scenes roles. His film company Death Row Pictures will be producing the film and his label Death Row Records is creating the soundtrack. Snoop joins previously signed on producers Giannina Scott and Ridley Scott, who are producing the film through Cara Films and Scott Free Productions, respectively.
The film is based off journalist Daniel Bergner’s 1998 book God of The Rodeo which takes place inside Louisiana’s infamous Angola Prison. Bergner spent a year in the prison, following along as the inmates put together the prison’s annual rodeo and watching as they grappled with harsh realities inside the prison’s walls. The movie will follow Buckkey (played by Shia LaBeouf), an inmate serving a life sentence who participates in Angola’s inaugural inmate rodeo in 1967.
While he’s best known for his impact in hip-hop culture, Snoop Dogg is no stranger to the screen. The rapper made several cameos in films throughout the ’90s before making his major acting debut in 2001’s Bones where he played the lead character Jimmy Bones. Most recently he starred in 1992, a heist thriller film written by Sascha Penn and directed by Ariel Vromen. He’s even lent his voice to animated features such as Pharrell’s 2024 Lego biopic Piece by Piece.
Snoop’s on-screen role in God of the Rodeo has not yet been announced but he has expressed excitement to step into the film.
“Linking up with Scott Free Productions and working with Ridley Scott and Giannina Scott on God of the Rodeo is life changing and an honor,” Snoop said to Deadline. “We’re bringing an important story and something special to the screen.”
Billboard has reached out to a representative for Snoop Dogg for comment.

FKA Twigs is reigniting her legal battle with Shia LaBeouf, claiming the actor is trying to silence her by enforcing a non-disclosure agreement that she says is illegal.
Her new accusations come less than a year after the Grammy-winning singer (Tahliah Barnett) and LaBeouf reached a settlement to resolve her long-running sexual battery lawsuit, in which she accused him of “relentless abuse” while they dated in the late 2010s.

According to a new lawsuit submitted in court Wednesday (March 25), that settlement included an NDA — and in December, LaBeouf filed an arbitration case claiming the singer had violated it by giving press statements that she did not “feel safe” and wanted to “help survivors.”
Represented by prominent litigator Mathew Rosengart, Barnett’s new lawsuit claims that NDA is illegal under California state law and that LaBeouf’s efforts to enforce it are “frivolous” and “preposterous.”
“Shia LaBeouf has tried to control Tahliah Barnett for the better part of a decade,” Rosengart writes in the lawsuit, reviewed on the court’s website by Billboard. “LaBeouf’s campaign of intimidation and abuse of the legal system denigrates not just Ms. Barnett but every other survivor of sexual abuse in this state.”
An attorney for LaBeouf did not immediately return a request for comment.
The new case comes shortly after LaBeouf was arrested twice in New Orleans last month over alleged violent altercations; the star was charged with several misdemeanor counts and released on bond.
Barnett’s lawsuit is premised on the STAND Act, a 2019 California statute passed in the wake of the #MeToo movement that banned the use of non-disclosure agreements to cover up sexual assault, discrimination and sexual harassment cases.

Her lawyers say the deal she signed with LaBeouf last year clearly violates that law, since it not only prohibits her from discussing her own allegations of sexual abuse against LaBeouf, but also from even discussing the issue of abuse in a general sense.
“She files this action to right a wrong, and also on behalf of other women [who] are the victims of sexual and domestic violence who do not have the resources to speak out and defend themselves from predators,” Rosengart writes. “She seeks to ensure that survivors … are not bullied or silenced like she was by agreements that violate California law.”
LaBeouf’s alleged efforts to enforce the contract started after Barnett gave a statement to The Hollywood Reporter in October, in response to being asked if she felt safe after settling with LaBeouf. “No, I wouldn’t say I feel safe,” she said, before adding that she supports abuse victim advocacy groups and wants to “help survivors in any way that I can.”
After giving that “benign and unoffensive statement,” Barnett says, LaBeouf’s lawyers then filed a “secret arbitration” case against her in December, alleging that she had violated the NDA. The arbitration case, filed by prominent celebrity litigator Shawn Holley, allegedly demanded “exorbitant monies” from the singer for the supposed breach.
Barnett then retained Rosengart — a former federal prosecutor known as an aggressive advocate — who argued the case was void under the STAND Act. LaBeouf’s lawyers allegedly responded by arguing that law did not apply because her abuse case against the actor had alleged only battery, not assault.
“LaBeouf’s preposterous argument should offend every citizen of California,” Barnett’s lawyers write in this week’s lawsuit.
Following more back-and-forth between the lawyers — and after LaBeouf’s criminal troubles in Louisiana — the actor allegedly agreed to drop the arbitration case earlier this month. But Barnett and Rosengart say they need a judge to declare the NDA void so that LaBeouf cannot wield it over the singer in the future.
“Ms. Barnett must be freed from the above-referenced unlawful restrictions,” Rosengart writes. “This lawsuit will determine whether a celebrity abuser’s fame and money can override the important rights enacted by the legislature.”

The Latin Recording Academy unveiled new category and eligibility guidelines to go into effect immediately ahead of the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards, taking place Nov. 12 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
With the intention to best serve academy’s approximately 7,000 members from 62 countries around the world, these changes form part of The Latin Academy’s commitment to evolve with the musical landscape that’s constantly changing.
“As our Academy continues to evolve, our focus remains firmly on our membership and the integrity of our awards process,” said Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy, in a press statement. “These updates are driven by our members, whose participation each year ensures the Latin Grammy Awards continue to stand as a benchmark for excellence in Latin music.”
Three categories are receiving name changes: in the electronic field, best Latin electronic music performance will evolve to best electronic music performance; in the urban field, best urban/urban fusion performance will become best urban performance; and in the classical field, the best classical contemporary composition category will evolve to best classical composition.
The coveted best new artist category comes with new requirements this year too. The press release states that “an artist is not eligible for consideration if they have released more than three albums, or 25 singles, or a combination of albums and singles that surpasses these limits. Singles that are subsequently included as tracks on an album shall not be counted toward the single total.”
Meanwhile, only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or win an award; therefore, the use of artificial intelligence—a work that contains no human authorship—is not eligible in any category.
Additionally, it was revealed that the nominees for the 2026 Latin Grammys will be announced on Sept. 16.

The success of “Just Dance” was not at all a fluke, it was actually an indicator of what was to come. Her follow-up track “Poker Face” also hit No. 1 on the Hot 100. Her debut album The Fame debuted at 17 on the Billboard 200 and rose to No. 2 on the chart after release of The Fame Monster. In the years after “Just Dance,” Gaga would continue to release some of the defining pop tracks of the century with songs like “Born This Way” and “Bad Romance.”
Lady Gaga has also made waves outside of pop music. Since her debut, she has released not one but two Grammy-winning jazz duet albums with legend Tony Bennett. In 2012, she started the Born This Way Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on tackling issues of youth mental health and bullying. In 2018, she wrote music for and starred inBradley Cooper’s A Star is Born remake, earning her first Oscar nominations and a win for best original song. The following year, Gaga launched her makeup company Haus Labs, which has gone on to win several beauty awards for their innovative products.
Now, nearly two decades into her illustrious career, Gaga continues to ascend. In 2025, she released her seventh solo studio album MAYHEM, which topped the Billboard 200 and spawned six Hot 100 hits, including the No. 1 Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile.” The single spent five weeks at No. 1 and 60 weeks on the chart, and also made history as the first ever year-end Hot 100 No. 1 duet by a female and male soloist each in lead roles in the chart’s history. On top of the charts success, MAYHEM also brought Gaga her 15th and 16th Grammys with wins for best dance pop recording (for “Abracadabra”) and best pop vocal album at the 2026 awards.
On Saturday (March 28), Gaga will be celebrating her 40th birthday. To celebrate her milestone birthday, let’s take a trip down memory lane and look at Mother Monster’s 40 biggest Hot 100 hits thus far, below.
Lady Gaga’s biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits chart is based on performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100, through the March 21, 2026, ranking. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.

Jay-Z is going one on none at Yankee Stadium this summer.

Billboard‘s rock album charts feature a pair of new No. 1s on the March 28-dated tallies in the form of Johnny Blue Skies and Lamb of God.
Mutiny After Midnight, credited to Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds (Johnny Blue Skies was formerly known as Sturgill Simpson, and the Dark Clouds are his backing band), reigns on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums tallies, while Lamb of God’s Into Oblivion reigns on Top Hard Rock Albums.
Mutiny After Midnight marks Johnny Blue Skies’ second No. 1 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums, following the one-week reign of A Sailor’s Guide to Earth (billed to Simpson) in 2016. In the week ending March 19, the new set earned 59,000 equivalent album units in the United States, according to Luminate, with all being physical sales as the LP has only been released on physical formats so far.
That being said, one song from the album has made a Billboard chart: “Situation,” which was released as the lead radio single. It bows at No. 38 on Adult Alternative Airplay, following in the footsteps of the Johnny Blue Skies song “Mint Tea” from 2024’s Passage Du Desir, which peaked at No. 37. Simpson’s overall best, “Sing Along,” reached No. 7 in 2019.
Mutiny After Midnight also bows atop Americana/Folk Albums, the act’s fifth ruler (the first four were under Simpson). On the all-genre Billboard 200, the album starts at No. 3, equaling the peak of A Sailor’s Guide to Earth.
As for Lamb of God, Into Oblivion accumulated 26,000 units en route to its No. 1 debut on Top Hard Rock Albums, with 23,000 via album sales.
Concurrently, Lamb of God appears on the March 28 Hot Hard Rock Songs chart with “St. Catherine’s Wheel,” which ranks at No. 22 with 438,000 official U.S. streams. The title track also reached the tally in January at No. 20.
