There’s no party quite like a tummy party. Silversun Pickups know all about it.

The California alternative rock outfit gets the silly times going with a cover of the Yo Gabba Gabba classic “Party In My Tummy,” produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins).

Dropping today, Jan. 9, “Party In My Tummy” will appear on the all-star Yo Gabba GabbaLand! season 2 soundtrack, alongside cuts by Santigold, Ziggy Marley, Sharon Van Etten, Sleigh Bells, Yola, CHVRCHES, Hatchie and others.

“What a thrill to be asked to be a part of this special show. A show that means a lot to people,” comments Silversun Pickups’ Brian Aubert. “And we were given the keys to a track that also means a lot to people. We did not take this task lightly. We tried our best not to mess with it too much, but still, hopefully adding something fresh. This whole thing was such a pleasure. So yummy. So yummy.”

The new collection is scheduled to arrive Jan. 30 through BMG, the same day of the season premiere on Apple TV. A week later, on Feb. 6, Silversun Pickups’ own new album, Tenterhooks, will arrive.

According to reps, the new 10-episode YGGL season is led by rising star Kamryn Smith as Kammy Kam and features original cast members Brobee (Amos Watene), Foofa (Emma Penrose), Muno (Adam Deibert), Toodee (Erin Pearce) and Plex (Christian Jacobs).

Life is better with friends, of course, and a new roster of musical guests will come on board “to create dynamic performances and original songs that help kids and families uncover life lessons through music, movement and joyful discovery,” a statement reads.

The first season of the beloved kids’ program, a reimagining of Nickelodeon’s original Yo Gabba Gabba!, premiered in 2024. Since then, the cast and guest star Thundercat delivered a memorable “Tiny Desk” performance, back-to-back Coachella sets in April, and a run of live shows.

KPop Demon Hunters singers EJAY, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI lit up the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage on Thursday night (Jan. 8) with the refreshed version of their record-breaking HUNTR/X single “Golden” featuring a string section and a dramatic new arrangement.

Surrounded by a forest of warm, glowing string lights encircling them on the stage and dressed all in black, the three women who provide the voices for the fictional K-pop girl group in the smash hit Netflix animated movie were accompanied by a group of violin and cello players as they emoted their way through the “Golden (Glowin’ Version)” revamp of their chart-topping single; the song dropped at midnight, just moments before they took the stage.

EJAY, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI are the voices of the film’s K-pop group, performing the vocal roles, respectively, of Rumi, Mira and Zoey in the movie. The original version of “Golden” has been the breakout hit from the film, scoring 8 consecutive weeks at the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200. Also, this week, the song landed a record-breaking 20th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, passing ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” for the longest run on top since the survey began in September 2020.

The new symphonic version adds an even more cinematic edge to the already soaring track, with Thursday night’s performance enhanced by the patterned blinking of the flaxen lights on the floor and a brief, dramatic string-only coda. “Golden (Glowin’ Version)” was produced by Ian Eisendrath, John Nathaniel, IDO, 24, and TEDDY

Watch the trio’s “Golden (Glowin’ Version)” performance below.

Alternative-pop singer-songwriter Maya J’an has signed with Warner Records, and released a striking debut major-label single that coincides with the one-year anniversary of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires from last January.

“Cul-de-sac,” released on Friday (Jan. 9), combines handclaps, icy synths and subtly thumping percussion with a gentle, haunting vocal take from J’an. Produced by Jonas Jurstom, “Cul-de-sac” is a tribute to J’an’s hometown of Pasadena; the singer-songwriter has also worked closely with the organization Altadena Girls as a means of repairing her community following last January.

“‘Cul-de-sac’ is my love letter to where I’m from — Pasadena, California — and to the places of my childhood that disappeared after the fires of January 2025,” she says in a press statement. “After driving through what was damaged, I was overwhelmed by longing, nostalgia, and loss. ‘Cul-de-sac’ is an ode, and sometimes a portal, to the places I can no longer visit.” 

J’an’s deal with Warner Records, led by CEO & co-chairman Aaron Bay-Schuck and COO & co-chairman Tom Corson, follows songwriting sessions with artists like Pharrell Williams, Justine Skye and SAINt JHN, among others. A co-writing credit on Aqyila’s song “Bloom” earned J’an contemporary R&B recording of the year at the 2025 Juno Awards.

“From the very first conversations, signing with Warner felt like coming home to a team that truly understands my vision,” she says. “This music has lived quietly with me in my bedroom, and to finally share it with the support of Bay-Schuck, Tom, and an amazing team who believe in it, feels incredibly special. I’m so grateful and ready for this new chapter.” 

“I’ve been following Maya’s career for a while now, from her work as an in-demand and acclaimed songwriter to the singular artist she’s now become,” adds Bay-Schuck. “Her talent , storytelling, and emotional conviction stand above, and we’re so honored to have her join the Warner Records family.”

Comedian John Mulaney informed fans on Thursday (Jan. 8) that he was postponing his planned shows at the Armory in Minneapolis this weekend because it “doesn’t sit right” with him to put his audience at risk after the Trump administration surged 2,000 agents into the city as part of its nationwide immigration enforcement blitz.

“What’s happening in your city is heartbreaking,” wrote Mulaney, who is in the midst of his Mister Whatever comedy tour. “I hate to postpone shows in a town going through such awful challenges and such grief, because it feels unfair to the audience. Still, I don’t feel comfortable asking thousands of people each night to leave their homes, gather at the venue, and then make their way home when the situation is so unsafe.”

Mulaney appeared to be referring to the aftermath of the killing of U.S. citizen and mother of three Renee Nicole Good, 37, by an ICE agent who shot into her vehicle three times as she was driving away from an ICE enforcement operation on Wednesday (Jan. 7) morning in Minneapolis. According to the Associated Press, Good’s ex-husband said she had just dropped her six-year-old son off at his elementary school when she encountered the ICE agents.

In the aftermath of what the New York Times reported was at least the ninth shooting by an immigration office in the past four months in five states and Washington, D.C. — all of whom fired on victims in their vehicles with agents claiming they were acting in self-defense — Americans took to the streets from coast-to-coast on Thursday night to march in protest against the Trump administration’s aggressive enforcement policies.

“I am sorry to anyone who is disappointed,” said Mulaney. “I know a fun stand-up show could be a nice distraction, but it doesn’t sit right with me to put anyone at risk.” Mulaney said tickets for this weekend’s planned shows will be honored for re-scheduled gigs on April 10-12.

Describing the widely-seen video of the chaotic incident, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that agents taking part in an enforcement action were attempting to push their vehicle out of the snow when “a woman attacked them, and those surrounding them, and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle.” In a statement, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin added that “rioters” were attempting to block ICE officers when “one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them — an act of domestic terrorism.”

Those claims were contradicted by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey in a press conference on Thursday, when he said the administration was “already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly, that is bulls–t. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed,” adding that ICE should “get the f–k out of Minneapolis.”

Just hours after the incident, Trump told Times reporters that Good was at fault because she tried to “run over” the officer, despite the paper reporting that a detailed analysis of the footage from three camera angles clearly showed Good was driving away from, not towards, the officer who fatally shot her. “She behaved horribly,” Trump said. “And then she ran him over. She didn’t try to run him over. She ran him over.”

Then, however, an aide brought over a laptop so Trump could screen the footage and the paper reported that the president seemed at a loss to explain the video that does not show the officer being run over or injured in any fashion; in an earlier social post featuring the video, Trump claimed it was “hard to believe [the officer] is alive.”

When reporters pointed out that the video posted by Trump didn’t appear to support his theory, the Times reported that Trump struggled to explain the discrepancy. “Well… I… the way I look at it… it’s a terrible scene. I think it’s horrible to watch. No, I hate to see it.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz asked the federal government to “leave Minnesota alone” on Thursday while state officials conduct an investigation into the incident. “It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome, and I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment, from the president, to the vice president, to [Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem,” Walz added of the apparent rush to point fingers by the administration before a thorough investigation.

Also on Thursday, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension — initially tapped to conduct a joint investigation with the FBI — released a statement saying that the agency had been removed from the probe and denied access to case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews in favor of an investigation that will be conducted “solely” by the FBI.

Illenium‘s Odyssey odyssey is taking a turn through San Francisco, where the producer will play an album release show Feb. 5, the day before the LP’s release.

The performance will happen at San Francisco’s Pier 80 Warehouse, a 200,000-square-foot space that’s also used for the annual September festival Portola and which was used for its first standalone events this past New Year’s Eve, when it hosted shows by Skrillex and Four Tet, Swedish House Mafia and John Summit.

This warehouse space will also be well-used in the days leading up to Super Bowl LX (happening at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 8, 2026), as Calvin Harris and Diplo are slated for a show there on Friday, Feb. 6, with a double-billing from T-Pain and Sean Paul happening on Saturday, Feb. 7.

These two shows, along with the Illenium performance, are being put on by Bay Area event producer Non Plus Ultra. A ticket presale happens on Friday, Jan. 16 at 11 a.m. PT and the general on sale begins an hour later, at 12 p.m. PT. Tickets are available here.

The San Francisco performance will help spark a big few months for Illenium, who after releasing Odyssey (the artist’s first album with Republic Records) will launch a show of the same name at Sphere Las Vegas on March 5. The run will continue on March 7, 12, 13 and 14 and April 2-4.

Odyssey is a journey of self discovery and acceptance,” Illenium said upon the announcement of the residency and album. “It’s a moment where fans feel understood, a space where we’re all together and present for that same emotional escape. I’m looking forward to welcoming everyone to this experience, especially at Sphere.”

With two decades of bangers in their repertoire, the Presets are Australian electronic music royalty. And the party is far from done.

Founding members Kim Moyes and Julian Hamilton met in the mid-1990s at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, released their debut studio album in the mid-2000s, moved the goalposts with 2008’s Apocalypto and they’re still getting it done.

It’s a heatwave in much of Australia right now, and the duo will push the mercury in the days ahead. Following a spot at Ocean Sounds Festival, they’ll serve up a sold-out performance for AO Live Opening Week at the Australian Open 2026 next Friday, Jan. 16 in Melbourne, presented for the first time by Live Nation Australia.

Will new Presets music hit our ears and airwaves anytime soon? “I mean, there’s always the possibility,” Moyes tells Billboard.com, as he bursts into laughter. “There’s been a few attempts at music in the last couple of years, and there’s been us bridging out and doing other things.”

Achieving greatness in the studio requires a heaping of art, science and a touch of magic. “The thing with being in a band for such a long time, you sort of think, oh, I could just turn up to the studio and just start making stuff, and to a certain extent you can,” he admits, “but in order to make something that feels visible and alive, you need to just collect a bunch of different life experiences.”

Moyes and Hamilton have been doing just that. Last year, Moyes served as music director for the Brisbane Festival’s 2025 production of Gatsby at the Green Light, and Hamilton has been musical director for the annual APRA Music Awards since 2024.

The Presets dropped their first full-length album in 2005 with Beams. What came next was a monster, as 2008’s Apocalypso rampaged to No. 1, driven by the certified hits “My People,” “This Boy’s In Love” and more. The collection snaffled six ARIA Awards, including album and band of the year — marking the first time an electronic act had won either of those two major prizes.

A third album, Pacifica, represented a creative shift and peaked at No. 3 in Australia. Their most recent album, 2018’s Hi Viz, hit No. 5 on the ARIA Chart.

“Working with different artists and producing bands and DJing, doing it separately or working as musical directors in different circumstances or in different capacities, it really adds a bit more depth and dimension to our own individual personalities,” says Moyes to the question of potential new Presets music.

“There aren’t any immediate plans. But there’s always the desire and there’s always the potential.”

For AO Live Opening Week, the fan-favorite precinct TOPCOURT on Birrarung Marr’s middle terrace will be transformed into an open-air stage for four nights of electronic music, from Tuesday, Jan. 13.

The Presets will perform live with support from RONA., Harvey Sutherland (DJ Set) and Post Percy. Other headliners throughout the week will include Hot Chip, Elderbrook and Cassian.

It’s another double down under for Olivia Dean, as the British singer and songwriter holds top spot on both the ARIA Singles and Albums Charts.

When the latest frames where published Friday, Jan. 9, Dean’s sophomore album The Art Of Loving (via Universal) led the way for the sixth non-consecutive week, while “Man I Need” tops the singles tally for the eighth consecutive week.

Ninajirachi (real name: Nina Wilson) finished 2025 in a flurry, nabbing awards left and right for her debut album I Love My Computer (NLV Records). The new year brings a new high for the collection, as it vaults 36-12, besting its previous peak of No. 18 from last August.

I Love My Computer is the nation’s best-seller on vinyl this week, and it’s the highest-ranked of six homegrown titles on the ARIA Albums Chart. Ninajirachi’s impressive haul on the awards circuit include three ARIA Awards, the Australian Music Prize, the J Awards for Australian album of the year and the inaugural NSW Music Prize for breakthrough artist of the year.

Grammy Award-winning South African singer and songwriter Tyla has a belated entry on the ARIA Top 50, as her self-titled Sony Music debut appears at No. 48. The collection was released in March 2024 and enjoyed top 40 appearances soon after in the United States (No. 24) and United Kingdom (No. 19).

Stranger Things has had a strange habit of reigning music careers, none more explosive than Kate Bush, whose ‘80s release “Running Up That Hill” became a chart leader around the globe in 2022 when it was synced to pivotal moments in season four.

As the popular Netflix series wraps up, a lift for “End Of Beginning” (AWAL) by Djo, the stage name for Joe Keery, who played Steve Harrington in the Duffer brothers’ throwback sci-fi. “End Of Beginning” improves 14-4 on the ARIA Singles Chart, just one place below its peak position. The final episode of Stranger Things, “Chapter Eight: The Rightside Up,” dropped on New Year’s Eve.

There’s a double hit for international girl group Katseye, as “Gabriela” (Interscope/Universal) improves 34-31 and “Internet Girl” opens its account at No. 45. Based in Los Angeles, Katseye boasts members from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland and the United States and was formed in the 2023 reality TV series Dream Academy.

Katseye’s “Internet Girl” and Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” (at No. 46 via Sony Music) are the only new releases to make the grade on the ARIA Top 50, while Tame Impala’s “Dracula” (Columbia/Sony) is the only creation from the land down under, dipping 37-47.

Bruno Mars is back. The Grammy-winning singer returned Friday (Jan. 9) to launch his The Romantic era with the new single “I Just Might.”

Dropping at the stroke of midnight, the new song channels Leo Sayer’s disco classic “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,” and is accompanied with a music video which sees Mars dressed in a green suit, fronting a band of Brunos.

The single will land on Bruno’s fourth studio album, with The Romantic slated to arrive on Feb. 27. It’s the pop supernova’s first solo LP in nearly a decade, which came with 2016’s Grammy-winning 24K Magic album.

Bruno shook up the music landscape with a simple four-word announcement on Jan. 5. “My album is done,” he wrote to X.

In the time between solo projects, Bruno has been selective with his releases. He teamed up with Anderson .Paak for An Evening With Silk Sonic in 2021, which dominated at the Grammy Awards.

Bruno Mars also made his presence felt on the charts with collaborations like the dynamic Billboard Hot 100-topper “Die With a Smile” featuring Lady Gaga and “APT.” alongside BLACKPINK’s Rosé, which topped the year-end Billboard Global 200 chart for 2025.

The 40-year-old will also embark on his first global stadium outing. The Romantic Tour is set to invade North American stadiums this spring and summer, as the trek will kick off in Las Vegas on April 10.

Anderson .Paak as DJ Pee. Wee, RAYE, Victoria Monét and Leon Thomas will be taking turns as supporting acts at various stops on the run. In addition to major North American markets, The Romantic Tour is heading across the pond for European shows in Paris, Milan, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid and Paris.
