“Hablamos Mañana,” the latest release from Becky G, tops this week’s fan-voted music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Dec. 12) on Billboard, choosing the singer’s fresh arrival as their favorite new drop.

“Hablamos Mañana” officially got a proper studio release in a week that saw new music streaming in from 21 Savage, OneRepublic, Whitney Whitney, Fred Again… and more. Becky G swooped in with the lead on Sunday, bringing in 30% of the vote.

What’s the story behind “Hablamos Mañana”? Becky G fans might find it to be a familiar tune —  as they’ve probably heard a live rendition of the song, which found its way to the stage long before Becky actually recorded it. The star gave it the studio treatment (with production by Di Genius) — and an accompanying visualizer — as a year-end thank you to fans.

A video released with “Hablamos Mañana” features behind-the-scenes clips from Becky’s jam-packed 2025.

“This past year I had some much needed fun, discoveries were made, & new dreams were dreamt!” she wrote in a post on Instagram on its release day. “Dormi poco and the kitty naps I did have were either 30,000 feet up in the clouds or on the floor of the recording booth. Gracias, Beasters, por todo el apoyo!!! 2026 is almost here!!! Can’t wait to share more momentitos con ustedes.”

“After years of waiting, Hablamos Mañana is finally yours,” Becky said.

Her song is a reminder to show affection and live in the moment: “Bésame, hablamos mañana/ Vamos a mi habitación/ Y hablamos, pero en mi cama/ De otra conversación,” sings Becky, whose last full-length studio release was 2024’s Encuentros, which made its way to the top 10 of the Top Regional Mexican Albums chart.

Among the new releases trailing behind “Hablamos Mañana” are 21 Savage’s What Happened to the Streets? (with 19% of the vote), OneRepublic’s “Give Me Something” (with 16% of the vote) and Whitney Whitney’s “Isabelle” and (with 5% of the vote).

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere received mixed reviews from critics, and underperformed at the boxoffice, but as of Sunday (Dec. 14) it has grossed $44.8 million worldwide, according to boxofficemojo.com. It ranks No. 19 on Billboard‘s list of music biopics with the highest worldwide grosses.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere isn’t a traditional cradle-to-grave biopic — for one thing, its protagonist is, thankfully, still very much with us. It’s part of a subgenre of biopics which focuses on one fateful period in an artist’s life. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is set in the period following Springsteen’s 1980 commercial breakthrough, The River (which spawned his first true pop smash, “Hungry Heart”) where the artist felt compelled to make a low-key, acoustic album, Nebraska. All concerned understood that this project wouldn’t have the same commercial potential as The River, which had spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. (And it didn’t, peaking at No. 3.) But Springsteen has always been an artist, more than just a hitmaker, and this was the album he wanted and needed to make at that time.

Here are the highest-grossing biopics of musicians in terms of worldwide box office. We didn’t include a few high-grossing films about real-life music personalities because the subjects are not well-known music stars in their own right. These include The Sound of Music (which tells the story of Maria von Trapp and the Trapp Family Singers); Green Book (which deals with a road trip taken by pianist and composer Don Shirley); Florence Foster Jenkins (about an heiress and hopelessly untalented soprano by that name); and Music of the Heart (about violinist and music educator Roberta Guaspari). Meryl Streep starred in the latter two films.

Here are the 25 biopics of music stars with the highest worldwide grosses.

Taylor Swift is being showered with well-wishes on her 36th birthday.

In honor of the pop superstar’s birthday on Saturday (Dec. 13), her Eras Tour backup dancers and friends Kameron Saunders and Jan Ravnik shared heartfelt tributes on social media.

“To my girl… my boss lady!” Saunders captioned an Instagram photo of him rehearsing with Swift. “It’s been three years now that we’ve gotten to have this moment. And each year my love for you grows deeper and deeper.”

He continued, “You are such an astounding human being!! I’m honored to be in your orbit. The laughs. The love. The affirming. The care. The generosity. I just—thank you! Here’s to a lifetime of more of these moments together. Happy Birthday, gorgeous! #SheProtectsTheFamily”

Ravnik, who recently competed on Dancing with the Stars, shared an Instagram gallery post featuring highlights from Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY @taylorswift,” Ravnik wrote. “I’m endlessly grateful for you and for the 3 years we’ve shared together. You’re one of a kind!”

Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour ran from March 2023 through December 2024, spanning 149 shows across five continents. The tour became the highest-grossing of all time, earning over $2 billion and selling more than 10 million tickets, according to Billboard Boxscore.

The singer-songwriter is also celebrating the continued success of her The Life of a Showgirl album, which topped the Billboard 200 for the ninth week, along with the release of her six-part Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era, which premiered its first two episodes on Friday (Dec. 12).

Shirley Manson is speaking out following a shooting targeting the Jewish community in Australia.

On Sunday (Dec. 14), two gunmen attacked a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, killing at least 11 people and injuring 29. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the attack as an act of antisemitic terrorism, according to the Associated Press.

During Garbage‘s concert at the Sydney Opera House that evening, Manson addressed the horrific attack on stage before performing the band’s 1995 song “Queer.”

“This has become an astoundingly frightening, violent, hateful, intolerant world, and I think the only thing we can do really, as people who do not believe in all this separation and all this intolerance, all we can really do is really try and profess our love for one another,” Manson told the crowd.

“We have been a band that have always believed that we are one people under one sun,” she continued. “It doesn’t matter what god your worship, what color of your skin, what your gender is, what your sexual orientation is, what food you like to eat, what clothes you like to wear, how you like to hang your junk, whether you like to wear a bra or not wear a bra.”

“You get my point, it’s all so f—king stupid, we have people in power telling us to really hate one another, to destroy one another,” the singer added.

When someone in the audience shouted, “Free Palestine,” Manson responded, “Of course. Free f—king Palestine too. Everybody deserves to live a life of love and have their children be safe. And so I’m sorry to bring things down, but I really thought it was important to mention what happened today.”

The attack at Bondi Beach occurred as hundreds gathered to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah. One gunman was fatally shot by police, and the second was arrested and remains in critical condition, authorities said. An explosive device was also found in one of the suspect’s cars, according to the Associated Press.

Garbage took to social media on Sunday to denounce the “vile” attack, noting that six of the band’s family members had been at Bondi Beach just hours before the incident.

“What kind of world we’re living in right now?” the Instagram post reads. “Innocent people were targeted while celebrating life and faith. This should never happen to anyone, anywhere. My heart is with the Jewish community in Bondi, with the victims, the injured, and the families whose lives are forever changed.”

The band continued, “This is what we stand against. Hatred. Racism. Division. Violence in all its forms. There is no place for hate or brutality in our society. We must not allow this horror to be used to divide us. Let it remind us to stand closer and tighter with each other, with love, shared feeling, shared humanity, and for each other.”

Lily Allen returned to Saturday Night Live to perform a pair of songs from her latest album, West End Girls.

Marking her first appearance on the late-night sketch comedy show since her 2007 debut, the 40-year-old British pop star delivered tracks from the visceral new release, written in response to the breakdown of her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour.

Introduced by host Josh O’Connor, Allen opened with the introspective ballad “Sleepwalking,” lounging in a dimly lit bedroom dressed in a white nightie as she softly sang about a fractured relationship.

She followed with “Madeline,” performing in front of a translucent curtain that silhouetted a woman seated on a bed who’s having an extramarital relationship with her husband. At the end of the song’s spoken-word section, in which the woman reads a text message describing the affair, the figure stepped out and was revealed to be Dakota Johnson. The actress then stood behind Allen before kissing her on the cheek.

Allen has said that West End Girls blends real life with fantasy and doesn’t present a flattering portrait of her marriage to Harbour, whom she married in 2020.

“It was an act of desperation, actually,” Allen said of the album in a late November interview with CBS Mornings. “Since I’ve put it out, it’s felt completely and utterly liberating.”

Allen is currently gearing up for an arena tour that launches March 2 in Glasgow, Scotland.

SNL will close out 2025 on Dec. 21 with an episode hosted by Ariana Grande and musical guest Cher.

Rivers gets the start for the Colts today after the team lost Daniel Jones to a season-ending achilles injury, while backup Riley Leonard is also injured. That caused the Colts to bring Rivers out of retirement.

The quarterback was coaching St. Michael Catholic High School in Alabama when he got the call from the Colts. Rivers, who originally retired in 2021, is also in his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility, but will give that up if he plays in today’s game. He’ll have to wait again to be on the Hall of Fame ballot.

Rivers is also a devout family man outside of football and he previously retired to spend more time with his wife Tiffany and their ten children. Their oldest child, Halle, had a child of her own last November, making Rivers an official grandfather.

Despite the feel-good comeback, the 10-3 Seahawks are the favorites to win over the Colts in today’s matchup.

On Saturday (Dec. 13), Nas commanded the stage outside T-Mobile Arena during the semifinals of the 2025 Emirates NBA Cup in Las Vegas. Presented by Amazon Music, the Queens icon blazed through a career-spanning set that honored his three-decade legacy while spotlighting new material from Light Years, his recently released album produced by DJ Premier.

Fresh off delivering a rousing introduction for his beloved New York Knicks ahead of their decisive win over the Orlando Magic, Nas made his way to Toshiba Plaza around 5:15 p.m. PST. Backed by a live band, he held the crowd entranced for nearly 40 minutes, immediately reminding fans why he remains a Hall of Fame–caliber maestro with a vibrant opening of “Represent.”

The performance helped bridge the gap between Amazon’s growing commitment to intersect the avenues of sports and music, with Nas’ concert serving as the catalyst. 

“Live from Vegas to life with Nas is a powerful example of how Amazon Music connects sports and culture,” said Kristen Gambetta, global head of partner marketing at Amazon Music. “Moments like this reflect how deeply music is woven into the fan experience, and we’re proud to deliver live performances that resonate far beyond the game.”

Exuding the confidence of a perennial rhyme-slinger, Nas left nothing to chance, ripping through his catalog with precision and poise. The Vegas crowd quickly locked into his dominating presence, especially when he seamlessly transitioned from “The Message” into “Got Yourself a Gun.” For Nas, this showing wasn’t merely about entertaining basketball fans or satisfying rap purists — it was a celebration of longevity and his enduring devotion to hip-hop. 

“We come from the underground, and we want rap to stay on the underground,” Nas told the crowd before pivoting into “Welcome to the Underground,” one of the album’s standout collaborations with DJ Premier. As Premo’s ominous keys reverberated through the plaza, Nas glided across the gritty track before launching into “Git Ready,” their second offering of the night. While the new material earned a warm reception, nostalgia reigned supreme as Nas revisited timeless staples including “It Ain’t Hard to Tell,” “New York State of Mind” and “Made You Look.”

Nas also showed love to his women fans, delivering “Owe Me” and his verse from Missy Elliott’s “Hot Boyz.” The night’s defining moment arrived when he summoned longtime collaborator AZ for surprise performances of “Life’s a B—h” and “Phone Tap,” sending the crowd into a full-throated roar. 

Before Nas bid adieu, he still had a fistful of tricks up his sleeve, unleashing scintillating runs through “Nas Is Like,” “Street Dreams” and “If I Ruled the World.” To punctuate his rap heroics, Nas closed with “One Mic,” a fitting reminder that after three decades, that’s all he’s ever needed.

Fergie has reunited publicly with her former Black Eyed Peas bandmates for the first time in years, marking a rare moment of togetherness nearly eight years after she stepped away from the group.

The singer shared photos on Instagram on Dec. 13 showing herself alongside will.i.am, Taboo and Apl.de.Ap as they gathered to celebrate their milestone birthdays.

“Finally got to break bread and celebrate our milestone birthdays together,” Fergie captioned the post. “What a special night with my brothers, filled with so much love.”

The images show the four artists posing together in coordinated, fashion-forward looks, prompting immediate reaction from longtime fans of the group.

Fergie, born Stacy Ann Ferguson, officially exited the group in 2018, shifting her focus toward solo projects and motherhood. The Black Eyed Peas have continued to release music and tour as a trio since then, while maintaining that the split was amicable.

The birthday reunion follows another recent return to the stage for Fergie. In October, she made a surprise appearance during Ludacris’ set at ONE Musicfest in Atlanta, joining him to perform their 2006 hit “Glamorous.”

After the performance, Ludacris told the crowd that Fergie hadn’t “performed in seven damn years,” later writing on Instagram, “We Got FERGIE OUT THE F—IN HOUSE! ATLANTA WENT CRAZY! Love to my Sis.”

Fergie responded in the comments, writing, “Loved being able to honor you,” before adding, “Cheers to 25 years.”

Though the Black Eyed Peas reunion was informal and celebratory rather than professional, the moment carries weight given the group’s legacy. With Fergie as a core member, the Black Eyed Peas dominated global charts in the 2000s and early 2010s with albums like Elephunk and The E.N.D., producing hits including “Where Is the Love?,” “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling.”

Hello, Melbourne (안녕, MELBOURNE) has announced ENHYPEN, TREASURE and Taemin as the headline performers for its inaugural edition, scheduled to take place on March 14 at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne.

Festival promoter APPLEWOOD confirmed the lineup on Friday (Dec. 12), positioning the event as a large-scale celebration of K-pop and Korean pop culture.

“We’re thrilled to announce that a rising K-pop festival is officially coming to Melbourne,” the company said in a statement shared on social media. “Get ready for an incredible celebration of music and culture.”

Tickets for the one-day festival will go on sale Tuesday, Dec. 16, at 12 p.m. AEDT via Megatix. General admission tickets are priced from AUD $249.90, while VIP tickets start at AUD $349.90, with both GA and VIP options split across two designated viewing areas.

Hello, Melbourne will be produced by APPLEWOOD in partnership with Australian promoter Untitled Group, whose recent festival portfolio includes Beyond The Valley and Wildlands.

The collaboration marks a further expansion of large-scale K-pop events in Australia, following a steady rise in arena tours and fan-driven demand across the region.

Founded in 2013, APPLEWOOD has established itself as a major international player in K-pop touring, having produced more than 120 concerts across 18 countries and attracting over 750,000 attendees worldwide. The company has previously presented tours and events featuring BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN, ENHYPEN, BAEKHYUN, LE SSERAFIM, GFRIEND and G-DRAGON.

K-pop continues to grow as a major commercial force in Australia and New Zealand, both on the charts and on live stages.

TWICE’s recent This Is For tour sold more than 50,000 tickets across Sydney and Melbourne, according to Live Nation, which promoted the dates, underscoring the genre’s ability to deliver arena-level audiences in the region.

On the charts, K-pop’s crossover reach has been equally visible: the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack spent time atop both the ARIA Albums and Singles charts earlier this year, highlighting the genre’s increasing presence within mainstream Australian listening habits.

That momentum reflects a longer-term shift in the live market. Data released by Live Nation last year showed a 600% increase in Asia Pop live shows across Australasia since 2015, alongside a 275% rise in the number of touring artists visiting the region over the same period.
