Nothing’s new Headphone (a) model has gone viral on TikTok following its March release, and it’s pretty easy to see why.

I was intrigued by the tech’s virality because it’s not often people are shocked by drops that aren’t from major headphone brands such as Beats or Apple. An underdog of sorts, Nothing is a British consumer electronics company based in London. The brand is pretty new, cofounded in 2020 by Carl Pei, and has a primary focus on everyday tech, from earbuds and headphones to even a phone.

That being said, Nothing also offers tech accessories, watches and even clothing. These are active noise-canceling headphones that are over-the-ear rather than on-ear. They currently retail for $199. Tech-savvy consumers have likened it to Apple’s AirPod Max headphones.

Style/Fit

Nothing excited me as a consumer obsessed with fashion because their offerings are actually stylish as well as functional, something that isn’t as common in the world of audio accessories/tech. Headphones, in particular, are a big part of the problem, focusing more on capabilities while boasting a sterile color scheme and a lackluster design. Nothing’s Headphone (a) silhouette features vibrant hues from baby pinks (my personal favorite) to bright yellows akin to fresh citrus, along with more palatable white and black hues.

Now its TikTok fame started to make sense. Thousands poured over videos, amassing up to 156K views. Thousands of videos were posted under the headphone’s hashtag. All of these people flocked to the new offering because of how cool and unique they looked, and I was one of them. The ear cups are square rather than your standard round shape. The style is futuristic and modern, but not brutalist in nature. It’s playful and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Even the buttons are interactive and tactile, creating an experience for the user.

These sit nicely on my head, with a padded headband and equally cushy ear cups. I never felt like my head was being squeezed upon wearing it, even after hours of wear. They are lightweight and don’t gap around the ears, creating a perfect seal so sound won’t leak out.

Our review on Nothing Headphone (a).

Nothing Headphone (a) Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling Headphones

New headphones from Nothing. The style comes in four colorways and retails for $199, less than Nothing’s OG headphones at $299.


Sound Quality ANC and Transparancy Mode

Beyond its obvious aesthetic wins, these headphones offer great sound. While playing my usual K-pop hits or R&B tracks, I noticed that the bass was punchy and the audio was clear with expressive highs. This just means the high-frequency sounds, which are typically around 2,000Hz to 20,000Hz, were nice and detailed since they can sometimes get lost or muddied in your listening experience.

That crispness is translated into the instruments we hear or the clarity of vocal consonants. These headphones offer ANC that is adaptive, which means these headphones will cancel out superfluous noise and adapt that cancellation to your surroundings. You’ve also got transparency mode, which uses external microphones, of which there are three on this model, to pick up ambient sound and play it through the speakers.

This allows you to hear your surroundings without having to take off your headphones. Both of these modes make these headphones ideal for commuters or people who work in an office who want to tune out the noise of a busy space or subway ride, but want to be aware of their surroundings from time to time. I found these modes extremely helpful when I was trying to focus on writing at the office, or when I was heading home on the busy New York subway and needed a break from all the noise.

Affordability

Compared to Nothing’s Headphones (1) that retail for $300, the Headphones (a) model is more affordable at $199. That alone is a win in my book, given that pricing for headphones has only increased over the years. I want quality, style and affordability out of my headphones, and Nothing delivers.

iHeartMedia has appointed Ann Marie Licata as CEO of the company’s multiplatform group, which is iHeart’s largest operating segment. The other two operating segments will continue to be led by current CEOs Donal Byrne (digital audio group) and Mark Gray (audio and media services group).

The multiplatform group includes the iHeartMedia markets group, which operates the company’s more than 860 local broadcast radio stations; iHeart live events and sponsorship; the radio networks businesses, including Premiere and TTWN; the enterprise business development group; and data targeting and attribution products for broadcast radio. Licata previously served as president of the markets group & sales operations at iHeart. Julie Donohue, president of the enterprise development group, and Julie Talbott, president of Premiere Networks, will report to Licata under the new configuration.

In addition to Licata, Bernie Weiss was promoted to president of the markets group. He will oversee the operations of iHeart’s 160 markets. He was previously COO of the markets group.

“We couldn’t be more pleased that Ann Marie will be leading the growth and innovation efforts for our company’s largest segment,” said Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, in a statement. “In addition to helping businesses and brands grow effectively and efficiently, the Multiplatform Group has been an important engine to develop our own important new businesses — including podcasting and the iHeartRadio digital service — as well as our iconic live music events and awards shows. We look forward to the additional growth that will come as we move broadcast radio into the digital buying world through our data services and programmatic platforms.”

“We have a diversified business at iHeart, with our Multiplatform Group, the Digital Audio Group and the Audio and Media Services Group, and we’re very pleased that Ann Marie has taken on the responsibility for the Multiplatform Group at such an important time for the company,” added Rich Bressler, president and COO of iHeartMedia. — Chris Eggertsen

Good 4 u, Olivia Rodrigo fans: After a three-year wait, the pop star announced that she is finally releasing her third studio album in 2026.

Rodrigo announced on the second day of April that her next LP will be titled You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, formally kicking off her next album era. Sharing the project’s dreamy artwork, Rodrigo wrote, “I am so proud of this record and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

Leading up to the big news, anticipation for fresh material from Rodrigo had been at an all-time high. There had been whispers that she was gearing up to drop something when a pink mural wall in Los Angeles — which fans linked back to the Grammy winner — popped up, displaying the phrase that would end up being the album’s title in curly-cue writing. But even before that, fans had been jonesing for new tunes, as Rodrigo hasn’t released a full-length since 2023. Her last album, sophomore effort Guts, opened atop the Billboard 200 and spawned Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Vampire.” Two years prior, her chart-topping debut LP, Sour propelled Rodrigo to global superstardom, boosted by No. 1 hits “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U.”

Now, she’s got a batch of new future hits coming our way — and as the days count down to OR3, Billboard is keeping an updating list of everything we know so far. From the release date to its cover art, track count, lyrical themes and more, check out all there is to know about about You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love below.

As the world observes Holy Week 2026, Billboard Español has prepared a special selection of 35 new Christian songs in Spanish for the season. The list is comprised of established and emerging artists, encompassing the diversity of Latin Christian music in sound and message.

The lyrics of these songs explore themes such as love, family and everyday life from the perspective of faith, thus providing an enriching experience for those who want to approach faith through music.

Among the highlights are a variety of popular genres, from worship songs such as Presencia Viva Worship debut single “Espíritu Santo (Bienvenido),” “40CM” by the singer-songwriter CRYS together with Genock Gabriel and the ballad “Vuelvo” by Marcela Gándara, produced by Julio Reyes Copello, which invites listeners to get closer to God in the most challenging moments. In addition, we included “Tu Presencia Me Llamó,” the Spanish version of the popular song “Me Atraiu” by the Brazilian Gabriela Rocha with the Guatemalan band Miel San Marcos. With this anthem, Rocha became the first woman in gospel music worldwide to reach 3.3 billion views on YouTube, according to Billboard Brasil.

Within the field of Christian urban music, songs such as Daddy Yankee’s “Sonríele,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart last October; “Flow Celeste” by Barajas and Alex Zurdo; “Te Siento” by Indiomar; and “Locura” by Jay Kalyl stand out. While in Latin pop, there are gems such as Gilberto Daza’s pop vallenato “Seguir Vale la Pena” and “Capulí,” which united the Ecuadorian Vaes with the Colombian band Alkilados.

In addition, the list includes “Confía” by Farruko and Dalex, “Who Who” by Nino Freestyle and Emanuel Lara and “Chica de Altar” by the latter, all part of the compilation album Transition, released in 2024 under Farruko’s former label Carbon Fiber Music, featuring diverse emerging artists both Christian and non-Christian.

Listen to our playlist of new Latin Christian songs for Easter 2026 below:

Justin Moore earns his 11th No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Time’s Ticking” rises two spots to the top of the list dated April 11, delivering 29.9 million audience impressions (up 14%) March 27-April 2, according to Luminate.

True to its title, the song completes a record 67-week climb to the summit, underscoring the kind of sustained, week-by-week growth that has long defined Moore’s success at country radio.

Written by Moore, Will Bundy, Randy Montana and Jeremy Stover, the new leader (with Dierks Bentley guesting on its album version) marks Moore’s first since “With a Woman You Love” in September 2022. With 11 No. 1s, he continues one of the most durable runs at country radio over the past two decades. Nearly 70% of his 23 charted singles have reached the top 10, and almost 70% of those 16 titles have in turn risen to the lead position. He has averaged a new No. 1 roughly every 20 months dating to his August 2008 chart debut.

“Justin Moore is a consistent country radio hitmaker, and this song is no exception,” Blue Highway svp of promotion and digital Ashley Sidoti tells Billboard. “His music stays true to the core, no matter where the genre is swaying. We are incredibly proud to be celebrating his 11th Billboard No. 1 single and the very first No. 1 single for Blue Highway Records!”

“Time’s Ticking” surpasses Michael Ray’s “Whiskey and Rain” and Travis Denning’s “After a Few,” each of which took a 65-week trip to the top. The next longest ascents: Scotty McCreery’s “In Between” (63 weeks), Dylan Scott’s “Can’t Have Mine” (62) and Chayce Beckham’s “23” (60).

Back in the Know

Luke Bryan ties for his third-highest Country Airplay debut with “Country and She Knows It” at No. 21 (8.1 million). The song is his 49th career entry and joins his collaboration with George Birge, “Ride, Ride, Ride,” which holds at its No. 25 high (6.6 million, up 5%).

Jeanine McLean, formerly president/managing partner of MBK Entertainment, is now helming her own ship. Launched just over six months ago, New Jersey-based Castlight Media & Management Group collaborates with a roster that includes Grammy-nominated R&B/pop artist Omarion and his reunited group B2K, R&B artist Tone Stith and country artist Brittney Spencer. While at MBK, McLean worked with R&B/pop stars Alicia Keys, H.E.R. and Elle Varner, among others.

“Castlight is about casting positive energy and motion in highlighting an artist’s talent,” says founder/CEO McLean, one of whose guiding lights is depicted in the company’s logo: “It’s a silhouette of my grandfather, who was a professional stand-up bass player.”

A nationwide spotlight is currently being cast by the Boys 4 Life tour, which features co-headliners Bow Wow and B2K — the latter a 25th anniversary reunion with fellow founding member Omarion. Having kicked off Feb. 12 in Columbia, S.C., the Black Promoters Collective-produced tour — whose performer lineup includes Pretty Ricky, Waka Flocka Flame, Amerie and B5 — has already swung through Washington, D.C., Houston, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Its final stop will be Memphis on April 26.

“The excitement for this tour has been electric,” says McLean of Boys 4 Lif, the latest in a string of recent nostalgia-vibed tours such as Brandy & Monica’s The Boy Is Mine and this summer’s upcoming It’s Iconic run with TLC, Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue. “Their fans, now in their late 30s, are showing up and showing out; singing, dancing and bringing old posters and other memorabilia to the meet & greets. Some are also bringing their kids to watch who their parents’ fan idols were. People want to gravitate back to feel-good moments in their lives.”

Concurrently behind the scenes, McLean has secured a new record deal for Omarion, whose solo catalog boasts the multiplatinum “Post to Be” with Chris Brown and Jhené Aiko and gold-certified “Ice Box.“ Under the Create Music Group banner, Omarion has already released his latest single, “Fantasy.” His next solo album, O2 — a nod to his 2005 debut album O — arrives June 30.

“We’re calling this Omarion’s O2 era,” explains McLean, “because the energy is very reminiscent of his past success. Together, we’re building out several other business verticals for him as well.”

RCA Records singer-songwriter Stith is also doing his own vertical moves. His latest single “Fly” landed at No. 10 on Billboard’s Adult Airplay chart for the week of April 4, and his next album, The Edge, is slated for a May 15 release. Also in the pipeline: a new EP from B2K via BPC Music, distributed by Vydia. McLean serves as the lead manager for the group as a whole, while each member has his own manager.

Asked about R&B’s strong momentum of late, McLean says, “It’s returning to some of the basics like the bridge coming back. We love that. We love the visuals coming back. But in particular, the sound is going back to being more organically soulful. People are taking their time with lyrics; singing about love and feelings again. That is what’s been missing. It’s just this lovely resurgence that’s standing out in the crowd of so much music that’s out there.”

Also on the Castlight docket is producer-musician Kenneth “KP” Paige (Toosii, Honey Bxby, Omarion, Girlfriend), who co-produced Stith’s “Fly.” As is Spencer (Cowboy Carter), who has upcoming performances with Maren Morris and Sheryl Crow, plus a new MNRK Music label deal with an album and two major tour announcements coming soon. Rounding out the Castlight roster are Native American singer-songwriter-pianist M’Lynn, also signed to MNRK; Torae Carr, SiriusXM host (The Tor Guide on Hip-Hop Nation; That Raw on Rock The Bells Radio) and songwriter (Cardi B; Migos); British-American singer/actress Aiyana Lee and Tina aka Hoodcelebrityy.

In addition to overseeing these various music projects, McLean — a Billboard Women in Music and R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players honoree — says her firm is casting a wider net as well, as she is currently in conversations with investors about two film projects. Declining to reveal more at this time, she adds that “there will be more film and TV projects happening soon, as these are multi-talented artists who can work in all facets of entertainment. Honestly, this is so much fun right now because we’re going to do it all.”

No one does denim better than Dolly Parton.

The “Jolene” singer can often be found sporting a Canadian tuxedo of sorts, aka a denim-on-denim look, that harkens back to her Tennessee roots. Denim has been with Parton through all the seasons of her life. It has become a staple of her Western aesthetic, from bell-bottoms and bedazzled Western shirts to cowboy boots made from dark-wash denim from toe to heel. Her history with denim runs deep, so it made sense that she’d be partnering with Good American for a collaboration, a denim-centric brand co-owned by Khloe Kardashian. The collection is aptly titled Dolly’s Joleans, a play on one of her most iconic tracks from 1973.

“I’ve always believed clothes can hold memories,” said Parton in a statement. “Denim’s been with me through every chapter of my life. It’s comfortable, it’s confident and it never goes out of style. With this new Dolly’s Joleans collection, we took a little bit of my past and gave it new life for today. When someone puts these on, I want them to feel bold, beautiful and completely themselves.”

This collection includes a slew of denim styles from cheeky shorts to extremely flared bell-bottoms and minidresses. You’ve also got Western-esque tops and tanks with a playful paisley-inspired print. Pricing ranges from $79 to $228, while sizing is inclusive from 00 to 30, XS to 5X, giving everyone with every body type the opportunity to try out the collection.

Some of our favorites from the line include the Dolly Sleeveless Denim Mini Dress for $168. The piece plays on that signature Western attire but with a modern twist. The denim number is light wash with a collared neckline and flattering darts down the front that create shape. The dress is crafted from Good American’s signature comfort denim that has a nice stretch to it so wearers don’t feel constricted. The Dolly Lace up Poplin Tank for $148 is also a winner. The style is cropped with spaghetti straps and delicate lacing up the front.

The print, as mentioned above, is a play on that iconic paisley print seen in bohemian and Western style. Amidst the lace-up closures, dainty lace trim gives the top a girly flare. This wouldn’t be a Parton collection without flared denim such as the Dolly Joleans Extreme Flare Jeans, retailing for $194. This silhouette is not for bell-bottom newbies. The denim is dark wash, extremely flared — as the name suggests — and high-waisted. Like most bell-bottoms, this style is also form fitting, giving the wearer’s body shape and definition. All of our favorite pieces, and more, can be shopped below and on Good American’s website.

On Thursday (April 2), Pooh Shiesty was one of eight men arrested on kidnapping and robbery charges tied to a physical altercation regarding his recording contract with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records.

According to U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould for the Northern District of Texas, Shiesty arranged a meeting in Dallas on Jan. 10 to discuss the status of his record contract. Per CBS News, Gucci Mane was among the individuals at the meeting. During the meeting, the complaint states that an armed incident occurred, resulting in one of the victims being choked.

“Williams Jr. produced an AK-style pistol and forced one of the victims to sign a release from the recording contract at gunpoint,” Raybould said. “The remaining conspirators displayed firearms and robbed the other victims of Rolex watches, jewelry, cash and other high-value items. One of the victims was actually choked by one of the victims to near-unconsciousness.”

Shiesty signed with Gucci’s 1017 Records in April of 2020 in partnership with Atlantic Records. The Memphis star struck gold quickly, vaulting into the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 the same year with his hit single “Back in Blood.” The song peaked at No. 13 and earned Shiesty instant acclaim, as he was named a XXL Freshman and Billboard Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month.

Shortly after the release of his debut mixtape, Shiesty Season, in February 2021, Shiesty’s brush with the law stunted his growth. He was arrested twice in a year, and ultimately slapped with firearm conspiracy charges, resulting in a five-year sentence in April 2022. Due to good behavior, he was released in October 2025. Shortly after his release, he dropped his fiery comeback track “FDO,” which rocketed to No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.
