For the third year running, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame revealed its annual inductees on American Idol, with Ryan Seacrest and Rock Hall of Famer Lionel Richie announcing the Rock Hall’s Class of 2026 on the show’s Monday (April 13) night episode.

Of the 17 artists who were nominated for the Rock Hall this year, here’s who made the cut. In the performers category, the inductees are: innovative pop-rock hitmaker Phil Collins; New Wave punk Billy Idol; heavy metal gods Iron Maiden; post-punk-turned-dance pioneers Joy Division/New Order; Britpop icons Oasis; sophisticated R&B group Sade; smooth R&B legend Luther Vandross; and culture-shifting hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan.

But that’s not all. Queen of salsa Celia Cruz; Afrobeat architect Fela Kuti; hip-hop boundary-breaker Queen Latifah; rap pioneer MC Lyte; and country rock godfather Gram Parsons enter the Rock Hall with the early influence award. Philly soul songwriter Linda Creed (“The Greatest Love of All,” “Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)”); producer Arif Mardin (Bee Gees, Bette Midler, Norah Jones); producer/musician Jimmy Miller (Steve Winwood, The Rolling Stones, Motörhead); and producer Rick Rubin (LL COOL J, Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash) are in via the musical excellence award. Finally, Ed Sullivan—whose groundbreaking variety show The Ed Sullivan Show introduced Americans to live performances from Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Jackson 5 and more—receives the Ahmet Ertegun award.

The 2026 induction ceremony will take place Nov. 14 in Los Angeles, to be aired on ABC and Disney+ in December.

Once this year’s induction is completed, everyone from the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ballot will have been inducted. The last time that happened was 2015, when Lou Reed’s induction marked the ‘completion’ of the 2000 ballot.

The induction of post-punk outfit Joy Division and dance-rock pioneers New Order together marks the third time the Rock Hall has seen fit to salute two bands with overlapping members at the same time, following Parliament/Funkadelic in 1997 and The Small Faces/The Faces in 2012. (Similar-ish, the Rascals were inducted in 1997 as The (Young) Rascals.)

Eight of the marquee names in the Class of 2026 are being inducted posthumously: Luther Vandross (died in 2005), Celia Cruz (2003), Fela Kuti (1997), Gram Parsons (1973), Linda Creed (1986), Arif Mardin (2006), Jimmy Miller (1994) and Ed Sullivan (1974). Of the late inductees, Parsons died the youngest—he was only 26 years old when he died of a drug and alcohol overdose. Cruz was the eldest, making it to 77 before dying of complications related to cancer. Just last year, Creed’s frequent songwriting partner, Thom Bell, was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

So who was on the 2026 ballot who didn’t make it in this year? That would be The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, INXS, New Edition, P!NK and Shakira. Interestingly, New Edition won the 2026 fan vote but failed to make the Class of 2026; while the fan vote contributes to the final tally, it is not the deciding factor. Fan vote runner-up Phil Collins did, however, make the grade this year.

Britney Spears has voluntarily entered a treatment facility, Billboard has learned.

A representative for the pop star confirmed to Billboard on Sunday (April 12) that Spears checked herself in, but did not specify the reason.

No further details were provided by Spears’ rep at press time.

TMZ reports the singer entered rehab for substance abuse treatment.

Spears’ decision to check herself into a treatment facility comes just over a month after a DUI arrest.

Spears was arrested for suspicion of a DUI on March 4 in Ventura County, Calif. She was booked by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and released from custody the following morning, March 5.

“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ rep said in a statement to Billboard following the arrest. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”

Her rep added, “Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”

Though Spears hasn’t commented on the incident herself, on March 27 the star returned to Instagram with a dance clip — alongside her 19-year-old son, Jayden Federline — to show appreciation to her fans, writing: “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing. Stay kind !!!”

In a more recent post on Instagram, amid more dance videos, Spears shared a stil snapshot of herself with the caption, “When peeps try to make you larger than life… tell them to BOW if I ever showed them the fragility of my real heart.”

Katseye can check off another accomplishment on their bucket list: performing at Coachella.

The K-pop girl group — currently a five-piece (Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae) while bandmate Manon is on a temporary hiatus — chatted with Billboard the day after their first time playing the iconic music festival in Indio, Calif., Friday night (April 10).

“It was electric,” Lara tells Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly of Katseye’s time on the Sahara Stage. “Our dreams came true last night. You know, every interview, if you’ve ever asked our biggest goal it was playing Coachella. We achieved that last night. so I think it’s so much gratitude.”

“It was bonkers,” she adds, as seen in video of Katseye’s full interview, seen above. “We went crazy.”

One of the headline-making moments of Katseye’s Coachella set: welcoming surprise guests HUNTR/X to their stage for a joint performance of the massive Kpop Demon Hunters hit “Golden.”

Yoonchae was quick to tell Billboard what the experience was like from their perspective: “I was so happy to bring HUNTR/X to our Coachella stage. They were really, really nice. They were so sweet. When we started to sing ‘Golden,’ we saw a lot of the crowd was screaming — they were so excited. I was so happy about that.”

“It’s really beautiful to have a joint slay on the stage at Coachella,” Sophia chimed in.

Perhaps the biggest personal moment for Katseye at Coachella was the group’s live debut of “Pinky Up,” the brand-new hyper-pop single they dropped just before performing it on the big stage. (The song is their first release without Manon.)

“We absolutely love, love, love the song,” Daniela says. “To perform it for the very first time, debut it at Coachella, was fire. I looked back at the videos and I was like, ‘Guys, we ate that.’ Especially the dance break. The crowd went wild.”

Megan adds of the track, “I think it’s one of our favorites. It’s very hard-hitting, something that makes us feel confident. I think it’s probably pretty high up there.”

BTS’ ARIRANG captures a third consecutive, and total, week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated April 18), as the set earned 124,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 9 (down 34%), according to Luminate. The album debuted atop the chart dated April 4.

The last album by a group to spend at least three weeks at No. 1 was Mumford & Sons’ Babel, which had five nonconsecutive weeks atop the list in 2012-13. It spent its first three weeks on the chart at No. 1 (charts dated Oct. 13-27, 2012) and then returned to the top for two more weeks (March 2 and 9, 2013) following its win for album of the year at the Grammy Awards. Babel was also the last album by a group to spend its first three weeks at No. 1.

ARIRANG is the first album to spend its first three weeks at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl racked up its first seven weeks atop the list (Oct. 18-Nov. 29, 2025), of its 12 total weeks at No. 1.

It’s a quiet week in the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200, as there are no debuts in the region. It’s the first time there are no debuts in the top 10 in three months, since the Jan. 17-dated list.

Of ARIRANG’s 124,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 71,000 (down 34%; it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a third week), SEA units comprise 50,000 (down 24%, equaling 52.44 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it moves 3-4 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 3,000 (down 65%).

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping I’m the Problem pushes 4-2 on the Billboard 200 (80,000 equivalent album units earned, up 5%); BULLY by Ye (formerly Kanye West) falls one spot to No. 3 (69,000, down 54% in its second week); Don Toliver’s former leader OCTANE climbs 8-4 (57,000, up 7% after new physical editions of the album dropped); and Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving lifts 7-5 (50,000, down 7%). Luke Combs’ The Way I Am is a non-mover at No. 6 (46,000, down 16%).

Four former No. 1s fill out the rest of the top 10, as Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS ascends 9-7 (45,000 equivalent album units earned, down 9%), Wallen’s One Thing at a Time drives 14-8 (39,000, up 1%), Harry Styles’ Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. steps 10-9 (37,000, down 22%) and Bruno Mars’ The Romantic rises 12-10 (nearly 37,000, down 7%).

Offset has returned to the stage for the first time since being shot in Florida.

On Saturday (April 11), the 34-year-old Migos rapper was rolled onto the stage in a wheelchair during his appearance at the University of Arkansas’s Rowfest.

Footage from the concert shows Offset — who was released from the hospital after being shot outside the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on April 6 — performing on what appears to be an outdoor stage surrounded by energetic college students.

“REAL LOVE,” Offset captioned an Instagram photo gallery from the event.

The carousel included clips of the Atlanta rapper being wheeled onto the stage, as well as photos of him posing in a red shirt, sunglasses, a hat and a skeleton mask.

Offset was shot in the valet area of the Hard Rock Casino following an altercation. He was later transported to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Lil Tjay was later arrested on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in connection with the incident and posted a $500 bond on April 7. After his release, Lil Tjay gave an interview in which he called Offset a “rat” and recounted the alleged shooting.

“The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this, ‘Yo, that n—a shot me. That n—a shot me.’ La la la. N—a is a rat. N—a is a rat. I don’t do no damn fighting,” he said, before being asked if he was the one who shot Offset. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot Offset? That s–t is crazy.”

During the Rowfest performance, fans in the audience were seen holding up phones displaying the message “F—k Lil Tjay.”

Offset’s next scheduled performance is set for May 9 at the Xperience Live Event Center in Orlando, Florida, according to his website.
