Hilltop Hoods will score a prime piece of Adelaide real estate later this year, recognition of their record-smashing feats in Australia.

The City of Adelaide today (March 5) announced Clubhouse Lane, a spot just off Hindley Street in the CBD, would be renamed as Hilltop Hoods Lane, one of the ultimate honors for these homegrown heroes.

The Hoods, comprised of Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris, formed in their teenage years in the Adelaide Hills, and have gone on to shift over 1.1 million albums, 1.9 billion global streams, bag 10 ARIA Awards and six APRA Music Awards, and land the most entries into triple j’s Hottest 100, with 23.  

With 2025’s Fall From The Light, the act landed their seventh No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, for their seventh leader (and sixth straight)  —  the most by an Australian group, placing them ahead of placing them ahead of AC/DC, Powderfinger, Cold Chisel and Silverchair. Also, their 2003 recording “Nosebleed Section,” from The Calling, the first Australian hip-hip album to be certified platinum, is registered with the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.   

“From early gigs at the Worldsend Hotel and Adelaide UniBar to performing for crowds of 50,000 adoring fans across the globe, Hilltop Hoods embody a familiar Adelaide truth — that great talent starts local and can reach audiences worldwide,” reads a statement from the City of Adelaide. “Their impact on Australian music is undeniable.”

Hilltop Hoods become the sixth act to receive a City of Music laneway honor, joining Sia Furler, Cold Chisel, No Fixed Address, Paul Kelly and The Angels.

“We are honored to become a part of Adelaide’s City of Music laneways alongside so many iconic South Australian artists,” comments Suffa in a statement. “We love our city, and this gesture just connects us even further to the place that we call home.”

The Hoods are currently playing arenas around Australia for the Never Coming Home Tour, their biggest jaunt yet.

The unveiling of Hilltop Hoods Lane is slated for an unspecified time later in 2026.

The latest pop it girl of 2026 is… Minnie Mouse?

The track “My Furry Valentine” from the Minnie Mouse spin-off series Minnie’s Bow-Toons appears to have breached its Disney Jr. containment and found TikTok virality starting last month. The song and accompanying video find Minnie serenading her pet cats and calling them her “furry Valentines” over an upbeat pop track. The track originally premiered in the “Galentine’s Day” episode and was labeled on the Disney Jr. TikTok account as a “Galentine’s Day” anthem.

The song gained traction as TikTok users began sharing their own videos using the sound. In a video with more than 14,000 likes, user @sistagrimm said the song is “fire” and that “Minnie Mouse is eating on this track.” @thejaredalexander shared a video from a Disney on Ice performance, using the audio and claiming to be “star stuck” when Minnie came on. One user even created a Jersey club remix of the song. Disney tells Billboard Family that across their own accounts and user-generated content, the audio now has 53 million-plus views and more than 11 million engagements.

As “My Furry Valentine” continued to circulate online, many people noticed that Minnie’s singing cadence and the production sounded eerily familiar. It didn’t take long for the Internet to realize that Minnie’s hit reminded them of none other than PinkPantheress‘ signature style.

TikTok users began to share their own videos using the song and tagging PinkPantheress, and late last month, the Pantheress herself posted a response to TikTok that now has more than 6.2 million views and almost 3,000 comments. Using the now-viral audio, she shared a video dancing along with the onscreen text, “this hit?? oh minnie when i catch you….”

someone said she she was digging in my purse meanwhile the collab coming and the people ain’t ready #minerva

The comments agreed with the “Stateside” singer that the song sounds like it could be one of her tracks. “Minnie all up in your club house,” one joked, while another said, “she snatched ur purse girl,” referencing PinkPantheress’ omnipresent handbag. In her TikTok caption, Pink even said, “someone said she she was digging in my purse meanwhile the collab coming and the people ain’t ready.” It looks like Disney Jr. is down, with the channel’s account commenting, “Minnie x [PinkPantheress] collab we beg.”

Whether this is a joke or not remains to be seen. In the meantime, we’re left asking: Is it too late for a Minnie Mouse feature on Fancy Some More?

This week, T.I. re-entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 with “LET EM KNOW.” On Wednesday (March 4), the self-proclaimed Kang of the South reflected on the song’s success during an In Conversation interview with Billboard.

“It’s surreal, in a way,” says T.I. “It’s humbling that relevance still exists within this art that I’ve been able to present to the world after such a long journey. I just appreciate the fans receiving it.”

“LET EM KNOW” marks T.I.’s 58th entry on the Hot 100 (No. 38 this week) — his first since 2014’s “No Mediocre” — and will appear on his final album Kill The King. Produced by Pharrell, the song finds T.I. in prime form, allowing his bravado and steely delivery to take center stage while Skateboard P’s bristling production radiates nostalgia, transporting listeners back to the mid-2000s. The chemistry between T.I. and Pharrell dates back to their 2006 collaboration “Good Life” and their chart-topper on Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.”

“We both have an unwavering passion for the craft,” he says of his working relationship with Pharrell. “He has an enormous amount of success and things he can be doing, but music calls him. It urges him to create in so many different genres just out of sheer, genuine passion.”

Alongside his final album rollout, T.I. has also found himself in a clash with 50 Cent. The rap duel has dominated headlines, with 50 posting photos of T.I.’s wife Tiny on Instagram. T.I. and his children, Domani and King, responded with diss tracks. While 50 hasn’t replied lyrically, T.I. prefers to respond in the booth rather than online.

“Ultimately, the reason I took to the booth was because it was the most mature, level-headed, peaceful, and organized display of disdain that I could have done,” he explains.

Watch Billboard’s In Conversation with T.I. below, where he also discusses ATL 2, features on Kill The King, and more.

As if anticipation could be any higher than it already is, a trailer for the Netflix concert special BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG has arrived.

Starting with a flashback to the day BTS announced they would be taking a break from group activities for each member to complete his mandatory military service and focus on solo projects, we hear the bandmates saying in Korean “So emotional,” “I really miss them” and “Let’s get back out there!” as we see footage of hordes of their lightstick-wielding fans.

“We promised our fans that we’d be back,” RM says next — and they’re coming back in a huge way.

Streaming live from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, South Korea, on March 21, BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG will broadcast the first full BTS group concert since 2022. Following the arrival of their comeback album ARIRANG on March 20, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook will hit the stage together for the blockbuster show the next night.

In the trailer — soundtracked by a sweeping, orchestral version of the BTS song “Mikrokosmos” from 2019’s Map of the Soul: Persona — each member gets a solo showcase, with two individual shots and their names displayed in bold, white typeface.

“Witness the homecoming,” reads a message across the screen.

The live concert special will be directed by Hamish Hamilton — who most recently helmed the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show and the 2026 Grammys — and executive produced by HYBE, BIGHIT MUSIC, Guy Carrington, Garrett English and Kevin Hermanson, with production company Done + Dusted. Fans can tune in live to Netflix at 8 p.m. KST on Saturday, March 21, which is an early 7 a.m. ET and 4 a.m. PT for American ARMY.

The March 21 comeback concert precedes the BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG, which kicks off April 9 in Goyang, South Korea, with three dates, and wraps next year in Manila, Philippines. U.S. fans will have a chance to see some of the international shows before BTS arrive Stateside on April 25, with a live airing of their April 11 concert in Goyang being broadcast in movie theaters, as well as the April 18 concert in Tokyo.

Watch the trailer above and see the new poster for the special below.

The past year has been a remarkable one for British music: Olivia Dean, RAYE, Central Cee, Yungblud, Sleep Token and more have dominated charts worldwide and proved that this tiny island can still produce stars and compelling, unique music.

The biggest personality in this cast of characters, however, was Lola Young. Her unfiltered personality drew comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Adele and her vocal chops were displayed on “Messy,” a U.K. No. 1 single and global smash. An alumni of the BRIT School, a non-fee-paying state school that has produced a number of the aforementioned stars, Young was everything you could want from a pop star: brash, contradictory and immensely talented.

In September, Young collapsed onstage at the All Things Go Festival in New York in a deeply troubling incident. “I’m going away for a while,” she wrote in a statement, adding that she was taking time to “work on myself and come back stronger.” All live dates were canceled, including a homecoming run in the U.K. 

She’s been true to her word. In February, she beat Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan to the best pop solo performance prize at the 2026 Grammys (and gave a suitably sweary speech). On Saturday, she took home breakthrough artist at the BRIT Awards and said during her acceptance speech “music was a safe haven” and a place to “escape for so many, including myself.”

On Wednesday she fulfilled the final part of her comeback by returning to the stage at London’s Palladium. Billed as a one-night-only event, it saw Young return to the stage in stunning fashion and come back as an even stronger live performer. These were the best moments from the show.

Ariana Grande‘s brother Frankie Grande has always had a knack for flair, and his newly uncovered Survivor audition tape is no exception.

On Wednesday (March 4), the reality star revealed that he’d “dug into the archives” to find his old self-made audition video in honor of the competition show’s current 50th season. Noting that it was filmed “three noses ago” — a playful reference to his various rhinoplasties — Grande added that while he didn’t get a part on Survivor, he “ended up booking a stay at the Big Brother house instead.”

The tape opens with a shirtless Frankie doing a Kubrick stare down the barrel of the camera before busting a groove with the city of Los Angeles sprawling behind him. He then shows off his breakdancing, diving, gymnastic and tree-climbing skills to prove he has what it takes to compete in Survivor‘s famously tough stakes.

“I’m fully trained for it, because I was in the Broadway show Mamma Mia!,” he says at one point while explaining why he thought he was going to be the “next” winner of the show. “Clearly, there are a lot of similarities between Broadway and Survivor.”

Though Survivor didn’t pan out for Grande, the entertainer has accomplished much in the years (and noses) since he filmed his tape. As Frankie mentioned, he would star on Big Brother 16 in 2014. In 2025, he started releasing music, dropping the album Hotel Rock Bottom — featuring his little sis on a remix of the title track — that June.

“This song is so personal to me, and having her on it makes it even more meaningful,” he wrote of Ari joining forces with him on “Hotel Rock Bottom” in July.

Check out Frankie’s Survivor tape below.

The IRS has come knocking on Quavo’s door for $3 million in allegedly unpaid income taxes dating back to 2021.

A tax lien notice filed in January shows that the Migos rapper (born Quavious Marshall) has a balance of $2.9 million in unpaid federal taxes and penalties. The IRS claims he owes $916,000 from the 2021 tax year, $887,000 from 2022 and $1.1 million from 2024.

The IRS has now placed a lien on Quavo’s property, including his 11,000 square-foot home in Alpharetta, Ga. This is essentially a warning that if the rapper does not pay up, the federal government could eventually seize and sell off his assets to satisfy the tax debts.

“We have made a demand for payment of this liability, but it remains unpaid,” reads the IRS notice to Quavo. “Therefore, there is a lien in favor of the United States on all property and rights to property belonging to this taxpayer.”

Reps for Migos did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday (March 4).

This is not the first time Quavo has been notified of unpaid income taxes. Last year, Georgia’s Department of Revenue served him with two liens totaling $496,000 for unpaid state taxes and related penalties from 2022 and 2023.

Meanwhile, Quavo’s Migos collaborator Offset got hit with a federal tax lien notice of his own in 2024 that cited nearly $1.6 million in unpaid income taxes from 2021. Offset (Kiari Cephus) eventually paid off the debts last year, and the IRS notified him in December 2025 that his lien had been released.

On Wednesday (March 4), Zeds Dead announced a summer tour that the duo is calling its biggest run ever.

Beginning the first weekend of July with two sold-out performances at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the 15-show, 12-city North American tour is made up of mostly amphitheater sets at venues including New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater, along with a pair of shows at Los Angeles’ Grand Park, where the tour will end in early October. See the complete tour schedule below.

Called “Journey of a Lifetime,” the tour will put forth a major production and a career-spanning set reaching back to the tour’s namesake, one of the first tracks Zeds Dead ever put online back in 2009. The pair, Zachary Rapp-Rovan and Dylan Mamid, advise that they’ll be taking time off in 2027, so this tour will go “all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime.”

Tickets for the tour go on sale March 11. The tour will feature a rotating collection of support acts including Alleycvt, Daily Bread, Deathpact, Dr. Fresch, Imanu, Ivy Lab, Mary Droppinz, Moody Good, and Whethan.

“Journey of a Lifetime is one of the first tracks we uploaded to the World Wide Web as Zeds Dead way back in 2009,” Rapp-Rovan and Mamid says in a joint statement. “17 years later, it feels like it was a prophecy. We might have not realized it at the time, but we were in fact blasting off into space and leaving behind life as we knew it. This journey is your journey with us as well. We’ve grown up together and celebrated life. We’ve created a world together, and the Journey of a Lifetime tour aims to be our most thorough exploration of it.

“This will be our biggest tour yet, as it’s taking place in large outdoor venues and we’re going to make it the best show we can make,” they continue. “It will be the grand finale of everything we’ve been working on. It’s not the end though. To quote something we sampled in a beat once ‘Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.’ We’ll be taking some time off in 2027 so we’re going all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime. See you there.”

Zeds Dead released its most recent album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalatic Happiness, last March. 2026 also marks the ten year anniversary of the duo’s label, Deadbeats.

Ryan Gosling recently got a little ahead of himself on the set of Saturday Night Live, where he’s been rehearsing all week ahead of his fourth — not fifth — time hosting.

In a promo shared Wednesday (March 4), the actor arrives at 30 Rock with a spring in his step, strutting through the halls and embracing his inner-diva as he chucks a lit cigarette into cast member Tommy Brennan’s drink and lights Mikey Day’s headshot on fire. At one point, Gosling hops on top of a faux horse and sprays champagne all over the SNL stage — until Day kills the mood by asking the show’s next host what exactly he thinks he’s doing.

“Five-Timers Club, Michael,” Gosling replies, pointing to his official SNL five-timers smoking jacket. “Read it and weep.”

Day then informs the Notebook star that the Saturday episode will be his fourth time hosting, meaning he still has another left to go before he joins the ranks of Five-Timers Club members such as Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Wiig and John Mulaney.

“Oh my god, it’s just four,” Gosling realizes a little too late, before comforting himself with: “I’m sure someone’s made this mistake before.”

The upcoming episode will see the Golden Globe winner — who in 2023 became a Billboard Hot 100-charting artist with his Barbie track “I’m Just Ken” — helming the show as the Gorillaz step in as musical guest. Gorillaz also soundtrack the new promo, with their “Clint Eastwood” setting the tone. One week later, Harry Styles will pull double duty as host and performer.

Gosling previously hosted in 2015, 2017 and 2024.

Watch his new SNL promo video above.
