ENHYPEN Get Dark In Epic ‘THE SIN : VANISH’ Album Trailer Teasing Vampire Narrative

ENHYPEN are gearing up to take fans in a dark direction in 2026. The seven-man K-pop boy band dropped the album teaser for their upcoming seventh mini album on Friday morning (Dec. 19) giving their ENGENE fan base some spooky visuals to dissect over the holidays in advance of the Jan. 16 release of THE SIN : VANISH.

The 50-second trailer is filled with ominous images of members JUNGWON, HEESEUNG, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO and NI-KI running from an unseen terror, as well as shots of the septet enjoying fun meals and laughs. But hanging over all of that is the image of a sky full of bats, a message of doom amplified by the caption on the YouTube video: “Vampire is coming.”

According to a release, the project marks the group’s “most direct exploration yet of the vampire mythology that has defined their ongoing narrative universe.” The follow-up to June’s sixth mini album, DESIRE : UNLEASH, is described as centering on a forbidden escape story of lovers who “break an absolute taboo in a world where humans and vampires coexist. Designed as a ‘concept album,’ it adopts the format of a fictional investigative broadcast program, which revisits an unresolved case within vampire society from a third-party perspective. To heighten immersion, the album incorporates narration and skits alongside the music, creating the sensation of tuning into an actual investigative program — an unconventional and bold approach to album storytelling.”

The moodily shot clip opens with the singers dressed all in black laying on their backs in what looks like sparkly sand as a throbbing electronic beat bubbles up and we see them sprinting through alleyways, a dark cave and the city streets at night as they glance back at a shadowy menace. A brief moment of joy as they share some refreshments and hang out in their casual gear at a diner meal gives way to more apparent peril, including fleeting glimpses of the singer’s faces bearing scars and cuts.

And then come the bats. So many bats.

The flurry of night fliers gives way to a shadowy image of one of the men getting staked through the chest with long knife and a bulletin board with “missing” flyers of the group offering a reward for their return. The final shot finds the group slow walking towards a strobing void as the screen fades to back and reads: “The Story Begins,” along with a seeming tease of what the release said was the “next chapter of the story,” due out on Monday (Dec. 22).

Taylor Swift Reveals the ‘Only Thing’ That Kept Her Going After ‘Hard’ Matty Healy, Joe Alwyn Breakups

Taylor Swift proved every night on the first year of her Eras Tour that she could do it with a broken heart, but in her new docuseries, the pop star explains that the trek was actually what empowered her to get through those heartbreaks.

Taylor Swift Tears Up While Discussing Eras Tour’s ‘Biggest Challenge’ in New Docuseries Teaser

In the new episodes of The End of an Era, which dropped Friday (Dec. 19) on Disney+, Swift makes a rare comment about her splits from Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. The 14-time Grammy winner was in a relationship with the former for six years before they called it quits in April 2023 — just one month after the Eras Tour kicked off — and dated the latter that summer for about two months, breaking up in June.

“I went through two breakups on the first half of this tour,” Swift says in episode four. “That’s a lot of breakups, actually.”

“This show is what gave me purpose and what I could use to get me out of bed,” she continues. “The tour has never been the hard thing in my life. The tour has been the thing that allowed me to find purpose outside of the s–t that was going on in my life.”

Swift went on to say that there were points “where the tour was really the only thing keeping me going in my life.”

“But there were never points in the tour where I thought, ‘Oh I want to quit the tour because the tour is hard,’” she added. “No, my personal life was hard.”

The Eras Tour wrapped after two years in December 2024. It garnered more than $2 billion in revenue, making it unequivocally the highest grossing trek of all time.

The third and fourth episodes of Swift’s six-part Eras doc arrived ahead of the final two installments coming Dec. 23, two days ahead of the originally scheduled Christmas Day release date. “Thank you for everything, happy holidays you guys,” the musician said when announcing the change on X.

In addition to touching on her difficult splits in the series, Swift also discusses how now-fiancé Travis Kelce came into her life while she was still on the road. On her 17-week Billboard 200-topper The Tortured Poets Department — which dropped in 2024, midway through the Eras Tour — she laments the challenges of performing on stage every night despite battling heartbreak.

But on 2025’s The Life of a Showgirl, she sings about finding new love in the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, about whom she wrote on No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit “The Fate of Ophelia”: “All that time
I sat alone in my tower, you were just honing your powers, now I can see it all/ Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and, saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia.”

“I’d been very non-athlete, because I’m not one, and I’ve always been like, ‘What would we talk about?’” Swift says of her past dating history in a candid The End of an Era scene, in which she converses with mom Andrea Swift, who remembered encouraging her famous daughter to give Kelce a chance.

The singer recalls with a laugh to her mother, “You said something to the effect of, like, ‘You gotta start doing something different.’”

The first four episodes of The End of an Era are now streaming on Disney+.

Jerry Ragovoy, Cowriter of ‘Piece of My Heart,’ Posthumously Inducted Into Songwriters Hall of Fame

Jerry Ragovoy, a prolific songwriter and producer whose gospel-infused soul compositions shaped some of the most enduring music of the 1960s, is the latest songwriter to be posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Ragovoy, who died in 2011 at age 80, was honored during an intimate ceremony held on Dec. 16 in New York City.

Prince Posthumously Inducted Into Songwriters Hall of Fame

While the annual SHOF gala in June does not usually include posthumous inductions, the organization has hit upon the idea of hosting inductions for writers voted in posthumously at unique venues and events. This is the sixth posthumous induction in less than two years — and the third just this month — following Cindy Walker in May 2024, Prince in July 2024, Bert Berns in September 2025, Hugo & Luigi on Dec. 9 and Donna Summer on Dec. 15.

Ragovoy’s best-known song is probably “Piece of My Heart,” which he cowrote with Bert Berns, who, as noted, was inducted into the SHOF posthumously in September. The song has been a Billboard Hot 100 hit five times, for Erma Franklin, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Sammy Hagar, Shaggy, and Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone. The song appeared on Big Brother’s album Cheap Thrills, which topped the Billboard 200 for two weeks in 1968. In 2005, when Janis Joplin received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy, Etheridge and Stone performed a medley of it and “Cry Baby,” another Ragovoy-Berns song that Joplin had recorded, on the Grammy telecast. That live performance reached No. 32 on the Hot 100.

Ragovoy’s emotionally raw songwriting resonated with Joplin, whose recordings of his songs became some of the defining works of her career. Ragovoy cowrote “Try (Just a Little Bit Harder),” which appeared on Joplin’s first solo album, I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama! He cowrote three of the 10 songs on Joplin’s second solo album Pearl, which topped the Billboard 200 for nine weeks in 1971. He cowrote “Cry Baby” with Bert Berns and cowrote “My Baby” and “Get It While You Can” with Mort Shuman.

“Cry Baby” was originally recorded by Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters. Their version reached No. 4 on the Hot 100 in October 1963.

Ragovoy wrote “Time Is on My Side,” which Irma Thomas recorded in 1964 and which The Rolling Stones covered that year. Their version became their first top 10 hit on the Hot 100, reaching No. 6 in December 1964.

He cowrote the Afro-pop dance song “Pata Pata” with Miriam Makeba; the song reached No. 12 on the Hot 100 in November 1967 and was voted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2019.

Some of Ragovoy’s other best-known songs are “Ain’t Nobody Home,” “A Wonderful Dream,” “Stay with Me” and “I’m Gonna Rock My Way to Heaven.”

Ragovoy founded the New York recording studio The Hit Factory in 1969, producing and arranging artists such as Dionne Warwick and Bonnie Raitt before selling it in 1975.

In 2008, Ace Records released a compilation album, The Jerry Ragovoy Story: Time Is on My Side.

Ironically, Ragovoy’s only Grammy Award was as a producer, not a songwriter. In 1973, he won best score from an original cast show album as the producer of Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope, which was composed by Micki Grant.

The 25 Best Latin Songs of 2025: Staff Picks

As we close the chapter on 2025, one fact is clear: Latin music continues to grow bigger, bolder and more boundary-breaking than ever. Whether it’s the heart-pounding pulse of regional Mexican music, the sultry sway of tropical rhythms, or experimental fusions of pop, rock and electronic sounds, Latin music continues to connect with fans worldwide on a profound level.

This year’s hits showcased that duality — global in reach yet deeply rooted in tradition. Bad Bunny captivated listeners with the salsa escapade of “Baile Inolvidable,” while Fuerza Regida painted vivid tales through the arresting corrido tumble of “Marlboro Rojo,” proving once again that Latin music is as diverse as it is unifying.

Rosalía spun waltzing puns and heartache on “La Perla,” joined by Yahritza y Su Esencia, while Romeo Santos and Prince Royce exchanged verses on the classic-sounding bachata cut “Dardos.” Experimentation and storytelling reigned supreme, with Greeicy delivering buoyant pop gem “Limonar” and DannyLux exploring a haunting sierreño odyssey in “Sirena.” These artists gave us windows into their worlds, blending genres and breaking norms with fearless creativity.

Karol G’s soul-searching “Coleccionando Heridas” alongside Marco Antonio Solís struck an emotional chord, while Rauw Alejandro’s playful “Carita Linda” and Peso Pluma and Tito Double P’s brass-blaring “intro” further helped showcase the year’s dynamic range in sound.

Whether you’re here to relive your favorites or discover hidden gems, dive into our list of the 25 Best Latin Songs of 2025, curated by the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español team, to celebrate the tracks that shaped music this past year.

Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’ Was Gabb’s Most Played Song in 2025

What was the most played song on Gabb Music for 2025? Despite a late-year surge of music from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, the answer is Alex Warren’s “Ordinary.”

“Ordinary,” which topped the weekly Billboard Hot 100 beginning in June and reigned for 10 weeks, eventually settling at No. 7 on the recently revealed year-end Billboard Hot 100 ranking for 2025, received the most streams on Gabb Music for the year, Gabb Wireless revealed Friday (Dec. 19).

Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.

The reign of “Ordinary” comes despite an interesting quirk: It topped the monthly Top Gabb Music Songs chart only once, and that rule occurred on the most recently published tally, November 2025.

That’s because its run on Gabb was about more than racking up months at No. 1. The tune debuted at No. 6 on the April 2025 ranking and rose steadily to No. 3 in May and to No. 2 in June.

Then KPop Demon Hunters happened. The Netflix film’s hit soundtrack presided over the chart for the next few months, reigning every time from July to October between Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” and HUNTR/X’s “Golden.”

Even then, “Ordinary” persisted. It was the highest charting non-KPop Demon Hunters song each month during that span, culminating with its No. 1 coronation in November.

Speaking of KPop Demon Hunters, Saja Boys end up reigning over HUNTR/X on the year-end list, as “Your Idol” ends 2025 at No. 2, ahead of “Golden” at No. 3. The latter was also a multiweek Hot 100 No. 1, ruling for eight frames beginning in August.

HUNTR/X did, however, achieve a feat Saja Boys couldn’t: the group is the act with the most appearances on the 25-position year-end ranking with four, including two in the top 10, as “Takedown” ranks at No. 10.

Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” round out the top five of the survey as the first two songs that were available for the entirety of the calendar year.

Boone is the top-performing solo act on the chart in terms of volume of appearances, nabbing three; “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” follows “Beautiful Things” as his second-biggest title at No. 7.

All of the songs in the top 12 were released in the 2020s; the top song otherwise, Drake’s “God’s Plan” (2018), ranks at No. 13.

2025 Year-End Top Gabb Music Songs

  1. “Ordinary,” Alex Warren
  2. “Your Idol,” Saja Boys
  3. “Golden,” HUNTR/X

  12. “How It’s Done,” HUNTR/X
  13. “God’s Plan,” Drake
  14. “Love Somebody,” Morgan Wallen
  15. “Slow It Down,” Benson Boone
  16. “Run It,” Jelly Roll
  17. “Deja Vu,” Olivia Rodrigo
  18. “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” Luke Combs

  21. “Stressed Out,” Twenty One Pilots
  22. “Let You Down,” NF
  23. “Free,” EJAE & Andrew Choi

The game at U.S. Bank Stadium kicks off at 4:30 p.m. following a 1 p.m. Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders matchup, both of which will stream live on Netflix.

And according to the release, HUNTR/X and the Louisiana country star aren’t the only big names who’ll be making cameos for Snoopmas. “You’ll have to wait until Christmas Day to see who else joins Uncle Snoop for this jolly halftime show,” it reads. “You’re in for a holiday treat!”

The news of Snoop’s special guests comes three days after the streamer announced that he’d be leading the festive halftime show, and more than a week after Netflix revealed that Kelly Clarkson will kick off its Christmas Day football coverage with a performance of “Underneath the Tree.” This year’s lineup of game-day entertainment comes after Beyoncé stole the show with her 2024 holiday halftime performance, which featured surprise appearances from Post Malone and Shaboozey.

“NFL, Netflix and your uncle Snoop on Christmas Day? We’re servin’ up music, love and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy,” Snoop said in a recent statement about this year’s halftime show. “That’s the kind of holiday magic Santa can’t fit in a bag.”

Mau and Ricky Talk Signing With Sony, New Management and Miami Studio: ‘We’re Doubling Down’

Brothers Mau and Ricky Montaner have kicked off a new stage in their career, signing with a new label and new management, launching their own imprint and now, opening a new recording studio.

Casablanca Studios will open in Miami as a “creative sanctuary,” with plans to open outposts in other parts of the world as well, says Ricky Montaner.

“There’s so much music and content we’re competing with, that it’s vital in some way to try to have a platform for artists who will surround themselves with peers who will elevate their craft,” he adds. “It’s like a little oasis. We’re doubling down on our creative process. That’s why we bought this studio. And hopefully it will house not only our dreams but those of friends and colleagues.”

They’ve now returned to Sony Music Latin, where they were previously signed, via a distribution deal with their own Why Club Records, and released a first single, “Te quiero,” alongside Kapo, which will be part of a new album slated for release in 2026.

“In Sony, they talk about being ‘a house for artists’ and in my experience the conversation is around music. And that’s what I’m interested in. Everything comes from the songs.”

Mau and Ricky have also switched management, and after a productive 10-year stint with manager Armando Lozano, they parted amicably and are now handling day-to-day operations of their business from their own company, with Neus Borrell as CEO, “in charge of our whole operation, from touring to record deals,” says Ricky.

Ye Announces Concert in Italy, His First in Europe Since 2014

On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy, one of the largest open-air venues designed specifically for big concerts and festivals, will host Ye’s first European concert since 2014. It promises to be the biggest show of Kanye West’s career.

The RCF Arena can accommodate up to 103,000 spectators. Tickets will be available for early bird presale starting Monday, Dec. 22, at 10am CET on Ticketmaster.

Ye will return to Italy to headline the brand new Hellwatt Festival, which will take place at the RCF Arena over three weekends, from July 4-18, and will be officially presented in late January or early February 2026. Organizers describe it as an unprecedented immersive event, with cinematic staging, that will bring Reggio Emilia and the Italian live music scene to the forefront of major global music events.

The news of Ye’s concert in Italy comes nearly two years after the lengthy back-and-forth over the live presentation of Vultures, his Billboard 200-topping joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, which concluded without a concert but with a listening party held at the Unipol Forum in Milan and the Unipol Arena in Bologna in February 2024.

Zamna Festival, the prestigious international format born in Tulum, Mexico, widely recognized as a key reference of the global electronic music scene, will be the official partner of the RCF Arena events, hosting all pre- and after-parties of the Hellwatt Festival.
