Jamaican reggae powerhouse Protoje is hitting the ground running in 2026, and Billboard can exclusively announce that his new album, The Art of Acceptance, will arrive this spring via In.Digg.Nation Collective and Ineffable Records.

Protoje’s latest LP will serve as the official follow-up to 2022’s Third Time’s the Charm, which earned him his second Grammy nomination for best reggae album. Driven by his trademark conscious lyricism and appreciation for the genre’s classic periods, The Art of Acceptance will include the previously shared tracks “Big 45” and “Feel It,” as well as a new collaboration with Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley titled “At We Feet.”

Now available to stream on all platforms, “At We Feet” marks the very first collaboration between the two superstars and serves as the official lead single for The Art of Acceptance. “Whatever we need, Jah put a we feet,” Protoje croons in the refrain, bridging roots reggae with more contemporary production flourishes. In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, which became the strongest storm to strike Jamaica in the island’s history in October, the steadfast, faith-driven lyrics of “At We Feet” are especially poignant. The new single also arrives alongside a SAMO-directed music video, which was shot between Kingston and Miami.

“‘At We Feet’ is about faith, surrender, and trust, knowing that when you move with love and positivity, provision comes, even in hard times,” the St. Elizabeth native explained. “It’s a reminder that beyond our plans, there’s a greater design unfolding.”

To support The Art of Acceptance, Protoje will embark on an international tour beginning with a performance at Florida’s Reggae Rise Up Fest on March 14. The European leg of the trek will kick off on March 19 at De Roma in Antwerp, Belgium, visiting major cities including Paris and Zurich before concluding with three shows in the U.K. Protoje will then head to the States for the tour’s American leg, which includes a special Stephen Marley-assisted show at Houston’s House of Blues on April 22.

Although it’s been a few years since Protoje’s last full-length album, the acclaimed singer-producer has remained busy, lending his talents to several tracks on Lila Iké’s gorgeous album Treasure Self Love. Billboard named his protégé’s debut LP the No. 3 Best Caribbean Album of 2025, and the set will compete in the best reggae album category at February’s Grammys.

Before his death in 2009, Dan Seals had a storied career as both a pop and country artist, with such ‘70s hits as “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” and “Nights Are Forever Without You” as half of England Dan & John Ford Coley on the pop charts and then a string of country No. 1s as a solo artist in the ‘80s, including “Bop,” “Addicted” and “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold).”

His legacy will be celebrated with Dan Seals & Friends: The Last Duet, an Aug. 28 release from Melody Place Records and the Dan Seals Estate that features many of his biggest hits re-created as new duets with artists including Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Jamey Johnson, Alabama, Marie Osmond and Tanya Tucker.

While four of the songs have already come out — “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)” with Bryan, “Three Time Loser” with Johnson, “My Baby’s Got Good Timing” with Jasmine Amy Rogers and “Nights Are Forever Without You” with Sara Evans — Billboard is exclusively revealing the full track list below. Upon the release of his duet with Seals, Bryan said, “When I think of all time iconic songs, this one definitely comes top of mind. Dan was an artist I had on repeat and actually still do. I sang this song when I was back in Georgia and now to be here and paired with him on this new release is just unbelievable.”

Noted producer and Seals collaborator Kyle Lehning put together the project, using digital technology to extract Seals’ vocals and recordings and then adding on the duet partner to create something familiar, yet new.  

“Dan was always true: as a singer, as an artist and as a man,” Lehning said in a statement. “Seeing the way all of these artists responded when they had Dan’s voice in their ears shows how that warm truth in his voice still touches people in the best way. The song ‘Still Reelin’’ was Dan reflecting on the effect that Elvis and the early rock n’ rollers had on him as a child, it’s nice to see that people are ‘still reelin’’ from his music today.”

The album also includes what is being billed a 50th-anniversary edition of “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight,” which came out in March 1976 and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The version takes Seals’ recording of the song from his 1995 album In a Quiet Room record with new vocals recorded by Coley.

England Dan & John Ford Coley took four songs to the top of Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart, while Seals landed 11 No. 1s on Billboard’s Country Songs chart, including “Meet Me in Montana,” a duet with Osmond, who appears on the new album on “You Still Move Me.”

All singles from the album, which can be pre-saved here, while a number of music videos and other visuals featuring archival footage will be rolled out.

BTS’s fifth full-length album will arrive on March 20. That much we already knew.

We now know the collection will be titled Arirang.

“Arirang” is a traditional Korean folk song renowned, according to a statement from BigHit Music, which delivered an update on the album Friday, Jan. 16. “Transcending time and generations, the song has long been associated with emotions of connection, distance, and reunion,” the release continues.

The collection is said to be 14-tracks deep, “a deeply reflective body of work” that explores the K-pop superstars’ “identity and roots,” the statement reads.

Furthermore, the band will “draw on the emotional depth of ‘Arirang’ — its sense of yearning, longing, and the ebb and flow of life,” adds the message, the seven-piece ultimately choosing the title for its “strong resonance with their current journey.”

The new album marks the group’s reunion following a nearly four-year hiatus, during which members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.

BTS’ big title reveal closely follows the announcement of another world tour, their first large-scale jaunt in nearly four years, since BTS Permission to Dance on Stage, which concluded in April 2022.

The forthcoming trek will get underway April 9 in Goyang, South Korea, then makes a stop in Tokyo before arriving in the United States in late April. The first stateside concerts will take place April 25-26 in Tampa, Fla., and closes its North American run with four shows in Los Angeles in September. All told, 79 shows are booked across the globe including Asia, North and Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and more. 

“The new release explores universal emotions of longing and love,” the statement continues, “and will resonate with the worldwide audience as a timeless legacy across generations and cultures.”

Olivia Dean’s The Art Of Loving shows no signs of fatigue on the ARIA Chart, as the album collects a seventh non-consecutive week at No. 1, while her signature song “Man I Need” enters a ninth straight week atop the singles tally.  

According to ARIA, Dean’s sophomore collection becomes the longest reigning title by an English female artist since Adele’s 30 also logged seven weeks at the top in 2021-22.

The top new release on the ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, Jan. 16, belongs to The Kid Laroi, whose Before I Forget starts at No. 2. The Sydney-raised, Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter previously collected an ARIA Chart crown in 2021 with his F*ck Love mixtape, becoming the youngest Australian solo artist to do so (he was 17 years, 5 months and 22 days at the time). Before I Forget is the followup to 2023’s The First Time, which topped out at No. 3 on the ARIA Chart.

LAROI made a dash to his hometown last November for an exclusive performance at a Spotify showcase, the starting point in the 2025 ARIAs Week. By the week’s end, LAROI had added a fourth ARIA Award, for song of the year with “Girls.”

Meanwhile, U.S. country star Zach Bryan starts at No. 2 on the ARIA list with Heaven On Top, his sixth studio album. Bryan’s self-titled album hit No. 2 here in 2023, and The Great American Bar Scene reached No. 3 in 2024. 

Yungblud has been playing venues across the country, and hitting headlines, for the six-date domestic leg of his IDOLS World Tour, produced by Frontier Touring. Those shows ignite interest in his fourth studio album Idols, which roars 69-12, still down on its No. 4 peak from 2025. The Brit’s tour continues Saturday, Jan. 17 with the first of two consecutive nights at Brisbane’s Riverstage, and wraps Tuesday, Jan. 20 at Perth’s ICF: Outdoor.

Melbourne singer-songwriter Steph Strings enjoys a top 20 start with debut album, Feel Alive. It’s new at No.  17, for her first appearance on any ARIA chart. 

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Dean’s extends her run at No. 1, a streak by a solo female artist that hasn’t been seen since Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” spent 12 weeks on top in early 2023.

Although the song didn’t appear in the Stranger Things finale, Djo’s “End Of Beginning” enjoys a revival on the ARIA Chart, where it bounces 4-3, equaling its the peak position set in 2024. Djo is the stage name of Joe Keery, who played Steve Harrington in the popular Netflix series, which dropped its final episode Dec. 31.

The top debut on the single frame belongs to Bruno Mars, whose “I Just Might” just misses the top 10, opening at No. 11.

With that feat, Mars has chalked up 22 ARIA top 20 hits, a tally that includes including four chart-toppers: “Just The Way You Are” (2010), “Grenade” (2010), “Uptown Funk” with Mark Ronson (2014-15) and “APT.” with Rosè (2024-25).

Buzzy British artist Sienna Spiro enters the top 40 for the first time as “Die On This Hill” vaults 68-29, while Alabama country singer Ella Langley bags her first top 40 hit with “Choosin’ Texas,” up 46-30.

Just two homegrown cuts impact the top 50. The best belongs to homegrown producer and DJ Sonny Fodera’s “Think About Us” with D.O.D and Poppy Baskcomb, new at No. 48, while Tame Impala’s “Dracula” slips 47-50.

Heated Rivalry, the smash TV series and pop culture phenomenon, has brought its music to the masses with its original series soundtrack out Friday (Jan. 16).

Released via Milan Records, the 34-track project features original music by artist and composer Peter Peter written for the Crave Original Series. The set marks Peter Peter’s debut scoring effort and is available via all streaming services and as a digital download for purchase. CD and vinyl editions of the album are in the works and will be released later this year.

The buzzed-about series premiered on the Canadian streamer on Nov. 28 and bowed on the same day in the United States on HBO Max. The romantic drama is adapted from Rachel Reid’s hit Game Changers book series and stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as hockey rivals Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, who navigate a secret romance out of the public eye.

Heated Rivalry’s creator, Jacob Tierney, personally selected Peter Peter to compose the show’s music. Tierney earlier told Billboard: “From the first day I started writing the show, I knew music would be as integral to the series as the actors themselves, and Peter’s work was what I had on repeat. His original score doesn’t just sit underneath the story; it carries the emotion, the rhythm and the pulse of the show. I honestly can’t imagine this series without it. Peter’s music is completely woven into what the show is and how the story comes alive on the screen.”

 “The music I composed for Heated Rivalry uncovered a side of me I wasn’t certain I possessed, yet one I had always quietly wished was there,” Peter Peter shared with Billboard. “I’d never allowed myself such latitude in composition before. Jacob and Rachel deserved the very best of me, so I gave them every ray of light I had.”

Previous to Heated Rivalry, Peter Peter had released five solo albums, most recently with 2024’s Éther.
