It’s only A Matter of Time before festival season comes around full force. To prep for dancing in the blazing sun and singing along to your favorite artists, Laufey has partnered with Etsy as part of Etsy’s broader Festival Shop to introduce a collection inspired by her third studio album, featuring both co-designed pieces created with Etsy sellers and a curated selection of items she handpicked. 

The co-designed portion of the collection brings Laufey’s world to life through custom pieces made in collaboration with independent Etsy sellers, while the curated edit extends the story with items selected by Laufey that reflect the same themes and motifs.

The full collection shop features items such as beaded accessories, trucker hats, a crochet scarf, polaroid sets, decorative bow hair pieces and customizable crewnecks that will take your festival outfit game up a notch, alongside a vintage watch edit that ties back to the album’s recurring clock visuals. There are more than 331+ items to choose from, all inspired by or co-designed by the Icelandic singer. All of this, and so much more, is available for purchase on Etsy’s website. 

ShopBillboard is here to discuss some of our favorites from the collection. If you’re planning on getting festival ready the Laufey way, or you want some unique Laufey merch that you can wear in your daily life, you might want to act fast. All of these pieces are both practical and stylish, and for that reason, we’re sure they won’t be in stock for long. If you’re looking to capture memories from your time at a music festival, or you’re just really into jotting things down, we’d suggest picking up the limited-edition Laufey Collection Forget-Me-Not Journal for $24. The product is currently listed as in-demand, and it’s easy to see why. The journal is 5″x8.25″ and contains 48 pages. The exterior is embossed with vibrant blue myosotis, otherwise known as the forget-me-not flower. These flowers are pressed into the exterior throughout. Fun fact: This flower serves as a symbol of love and constancy.

With the popularity of bag charms still in high demand, you know Laufey had to co-design one for her fans. The Laufey Collection limited-edition Bag Charm retails for $50 and is made with a mixture of delicate glass beads and stones that create colorful rows that hang off the gold hardware. The charm is also equipped with a clock charm, another clear reference to A Matter of Time. Bag charms can be used to spruce up your everyday tote or clutch, adding a touch of playfulness. They can also be attached to your keys if that’s more your style. 

For those cold festival nights, the Embroidered Custom Lyrics Crewneck Sweatshirt currently on sale for $24.75 should come in handy. Shoppers can customize the cozy item in one of many shades, though our favorite is the Laufey blue. You’ll also be able to embroider your favorite Laufey lyric on the front, either from A Matter of Time or some of the singer’s older tracks that speak to you. This is another high-demand item, with multiple people having added their custom crewnecks to their cart as of writing. 

Buju Banton has officially entered his newest era. On Friday (April 17), the Jamaican reggae and dancehall icon shared two buzzy pieces of news: the announcement of his signing to VP Records and the arrival of his heart-eyed new “Butterflies” single.

“I have been working with VP Records for over 30 years, and I will say it again … they get it,” Banton, whose lengthy partnership with the storied indie Caribbean music label includes releases such as 2003’s Friends for Life, said in a statement. Label CEO Christopher Chin added, “Buju has always been a defining voice in reggae, and his return to VP Records reinforces our shared commitment to continue inspiring our culture that resonates across the globe.”

The Grammy winner celebrated the full-circle moment with the release of the Supa Dups-produced “Butterflies,” the first taste of his forthcoming LP, which also doubles as his first full-length VP Records release since 2006. Slated for a summer 2026 release, Gargamel’s forthcoming album promises to deliver “music that touches the soul to a point where it’s constantly playing your head … and you just wanna spread your wings and be a butterfly.”

Banton’s most recent album, 2023’s Born for Greatness, earned him his eighth career Grammy nomination. Featuring collaborations with Victoria Monét and Snoop Dogg, the album marked Banton’s second Roc Nation release, following 2020’s Upside Down 2020, which hit No. 2 on Reggae Albums and served as his first project since his December 2018 prison release.

This summer, Banton will also join forces with nine-time Grammy-winning reggae superstar Stephen Marley for a joint Roots and Rhymes Tour. Kicking off on June 17 at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Wash., the trek will visit major U.S. cities including New York, Chicago and Boston before concluding on July 25 at Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta. Grammy-winner Gramps Morgan will appear as a special guest on select dates, while Splackavelli will deliver lively DJ sets. Fans can purchase tickets via both Banton’s and Marley’s official websites.

Two years ago, Banton returned to the U.S. for his first live shows in the country in more than 13 years. “After not being here for quite some time, I look forward to reigniting that passion and euphoria,” he told Billboard ahead of two back-to-back sold-out headlining shows at New York’s UBS Arena. In 2025, he won the Caribbean Music Award for reggae collaboration of the year alongside Damian Marley and Bugle for “Thank You Lord.”

Buju Banton has sent 12 projects to the top 10 of Reggae Albums, with four of them also reaching the all-genre Billboard 200. “Champion,” one of his defining crossover hits, spent nine weeks on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales in 1995, peaking at No. 52.

New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week’s picks below.

Thalia, Todo Suena Mejor en Cumbia (Sony Music Latin)

From the opening chords of “Ojitos Mexicanos,” which opens the album, Thalia — recognized this year with the Icon Award at Billboard’s Women in Music — takes us on a journey that blends past and present, with covers of classics such as ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” Son By Four’s “A Puro Corazón” (reimagined here as “Cariño Mío”) and Daniela Romo’s “Todo, Todo, Todo” (featuring Yuri), alongside exciting new tracks and collaborations. Highlights include “Nueva Herida” with Valen — one of the rising voices of cumbia in Argentina — and “Me Fui Queriéndote” with Matisse, both tracks were co-written by the Mexican superstar.

The album also features “Aquí Es Mi Lugar” with Grupo Máximo and, of course, “Yo Me Lo Busqué” with Los Ángeles Azules, which reached No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart upon its release in May 2025. Having flirted with cumbia music throughout her career via major hits like “Piel Morena” and “Amor a la Mexicana,” Thalía now cements her love for the genre with a full-length album, gifting her fans a nine-track collection that is sure to have them dancing with joy. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS

Tokischa, AMOR & DROGA (Sol Entertainment Group/Warner Music Latina)

It’s hard to grasp that Tokischa’s first full-length album is Amor & Droga, given that the Dominican artist has been so steadily pushing out singles over the past five years. Amor & Droga, however, breaks rank. Produced in part with a cadre of top-line DJs,  Amor & Droga is as much about partying as it is about reflecting, but its production is elevated and textured, clearly part of an all-encompassing effort to show Tokischa as a sophisticated artist with a gravitas that supersedes her wild antics (like the breast-bring dress she wore at Premios Lo Nuestro).

Instead, here we have layered tracks like “Mi Novio,” a pulsating dance number with Diplo that spells out a toxic, abusive relationship, contrasting with “Surfboard,” a Bonafide love song that describes Tokischa’s current relationship. In the middle, tracks like “Perreo Llorando” — on the juxtaposition of success and pain — highlight how the dance floor and the raunch can coexist with elegance and soul.  — LEILA COBO

Edén Muñoz & Christian Castro, “Osadía” (EMC Music/Sony Music)

The regional Mexican star and the pop icon achieve a superb fusion of styles and voices in “Osadía,” a track about a breakup in which one party emerges more wounded than the other. Muñoz — who serves as both songwriter and producer — opens with his signature accordion, paving the way for elegant orchestration in which trumpets take center stage, supported by guitars and piano. Castro, returning to the recording studio after a long absence, demonstrates that his vocal power remains entirely undiminished. “I’ve been left without myself, without you, without us both/ And if anyone asks me, I don’t know what happened/ I’ve earned myself a wound/ While her smile returned — and she didn’t even say thank you,” they both sing with passion. — TERE AGUILERA

Nanpa Básico, Que Tin y Que Tan (5020 Records)

A Colombian rap star breaks expectations with an authentic 22-track journey, using the playful Medellín slang of “Tin” and “Tan.” Que Tin y Que Tan sweeps listeners through a wave of sounds, fusing rap, ballads, afrobeat, and more, all united by Nanpa Básico’s signature introspection and emotional honesty. The album builds on his evolving sounds, balancing raw, stripped-back moments with dense, layered arrangements. Sometimes his voice stands alone in the spotlight; other times, as in “Si Usted Quiere,” live guitar, trumpe, and keyboards create a rich, immersive backdrop.

Each track is thoughtfully crafted with his all-Colombian collaborators: Kapo brings guitar-driven soul to “AMIMA”; Camilo lends sweetness to the heartfelt ballad “EVAMARÍA”; DFZM turns “En Tu Boca El Humo Me Sabe Mejor” into a poetic ode to love’s transformative power; Miky La Sensa paints dreams of perfection in “No Salgas El Viernes”; Maisak explores self-reflection and the search for peace in “Diálogos de Paz”; and Kris R blends apology and trap in “Cariñitos y Flores.” — INGRID FAJARDO

Gusi, Vallenato Social Club (Gusi)

For the past two years, Gusi focused on gathering the most popular names in the vallenato music realm to bring to life his new album Vallenato Social Club. Crafted with the intention to honor the Colombian genre’s roots, but also introduce it to a new generation with its modern fusions, the 12-track set goes beyond a cultural statement. With brand new songs, such as “Son Para Ti,” “A Tu Medida” and “Acabaste Conmigo” — all composed and produced by Gusi himself — the set fuses traditional vallenato music with genres such as merengue, son and paseo.

“It’s a meeting point. It’s a way to honor our roots, unite generations, and show that vallenato is alive, evolving, and ready to conquer new hearts,” Gusi says in a press statement. “This project is born from a deep respect for the genre, as a space where vallenato is lived, shared, and connects us all.” Vallenato giants Elder Dayán Díaz, Alfredo Gutiérrez, Jean Carlos Centeno, Luifer Cuello, Iván Villazón, Jorge Celedón, Karen Lizarazo, Rafa Pérez, Diego Daza, José Martín Bernier, Felipe Peláez and Peter Manjarrés all join Gusi on Vallenato Social Club. —— JESSICA ROIZ

Manuel Carrasco, “Oh Si Pudiera” (Universal Music Spain)

In “Oh Si Pudiera,” Manuel Carrasco previews the sound of Pueblo Salvaje I, his upcoming studio album — a blend of rumba, flamenco and gospel set against a folk foundation that invites listeners to experience it live in concert. The track opens with a rumba rhythm setting the pulse, driven by rhythmic handclaps that gradually give room to a gospel-infused soundscape. “To see life the way children play it,” the Spanish musician sings, in a verse that flows effortlessly and serves to fully establish the song’s tone. Carrasco himself summed it up on social media as a refusal to look the other way — a sentiment also palpable in lines such as “let them shoot, for I will rise from the ground” — without ever losing its sense of lightness. The song navigates the space between the intimate and the collective, radiating an energy that already feels stadium-ready. — FRANCHESCA GUIM

Los Ángeles Azules & Belinda, “Por Ella” (SALXCO Records/OCESA Seitrack)

The iconic cumbia group and the pop superstar join forces for a second time—to energize the World Cup with a festive, distinctly Mexican track, set to the unmistakable style that characterizes both artists. Belinda’s melodious voice blends with the accordion, electric bass, timbales and saxophone, resulting in a masterful piece of cumbia — the musical genre that unites Latin America — which will ring out to cheer on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. “What I would give for her/ For her/ So that she might shine here in my heart just like the stars/ So beautiful/ And to give her a kiss when I hold her in my arms/ To shout that I love her/ So that it can be heard all the way to heaven,” goes the chorus. The song’s accompanying music video serves as a colorful tribute to Mexican culture — and, in particular, to Mexico City, one of the official host cities for the planet’s most important soccer tournament. — NATALIA CANO

Camila Fernández, “Suéltame” (FONO)

The heiress of the Fernández dynasty presents a ranchera ballad with pop undertones, creating a modern sound while still honoring the foundations of the genre, accompanied by vihuela and trumpets. “Suéltame” speaks of a relationship sustained merely by habit — one that has ended and cannot be salvaged, even if moving past it will take time. There are no villains, only the courage to move forward. Through her vocals and distinctive style, Fernández infuses the track with just the right amount of drama to stir deep emotions in lyrics such as: “A half-hearted kiss and a feigned smile/ Promises that turned into empty words/ That is all that remains of the two of us.” — T.A.

Taylor Swift’s “Elizabeth Taylor” hits the top 10 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Airplay chart, extending one record and contributing to a first over the survey’s 30-year history.

The song ascends a spot to No. 10 on the April 25-dated chart, becoming Swift’s record-furthering 35th top 10. Dating to the list’s start in March 1996, the superstar widens her lead over Maroon 5, the runner-up with 28 top 10s. P!nk places third with 20.

Meanwhile, “Elizabeth Taylor” joins two other Swift hits in the current Adult Pop Airplay top 10, making for a back-to-back-to-back block. “Opalite” ranks at No. 8 and “The Fate of Ophelia” is No. 9. The songs topped the chart for three weeks in February-March and four weeks last November-December, respectively. Swift makes history as the first artist ever to claim three spots in the chart’s top 10 simultaneously.

Highlighting Swift’s support at radio, all three songs were among the 10 most-played tracks on WBMX (Mix 104.1) Boston in the April 10-16 tracking week, according to Mediabase, which provides data to Luminate for Billboard’s airplay charts.

Numerous artists have doubled up in the Adult Pop Airplay top 10, starting with Alanis Morissette in July 1996 (thanks to “Ironic” and “You Learn”). Swift scores her record 80th week with multiple titles in the region, followed by Ed Sheeran with 59 weeks with two top 10s together and Justin Bieber with 48.

“Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite” and “The Fate of Ophelia” are from Swift’s Republic Records album The Life of a Showgirl, which launched last October with a record-shattering 4.002 million first-week equivalent-album units in the United States, according to Luminate, becoming her 15th Billboard 200 No. 1, the most among soloists. “Elizabeth Taylor” simultaneously debuted at its No. 3 high on the Billboard Hot 100, as the set’s songs infused the chart’s top 12 spots, the most ever for an artist from No. 1 on down in a single week.

All charts dated April 25 will update Tuesday, April 21, on Billboard.com.
