Rosalía has already made the diverse album Kenan Thompson pitched to her.

In a new promo for this week’s Saturday Night Live, Thompson shares a series of ideas for things he should make to Shane Gillis — only to discover that the comedian and Rosalía have already done them.

The promo begins with Gillis introducing himself as this week’s host alongside musical guest Rosalía. Thompson then jumps in with an idea for a character he wants to play on Gillis’ Netflix comedy Tires.

“I have some ideas for my next character next season in Tires,” Thompson tells Gillis.

“Oh, we already filmed it,” Gillis replies.

After Thompson insists that Gillis must not have seen what he filmed, the host eventually gives in.

“Dude, character development, the color schemes. Incredible,” Thompson says.

“It’s okay,” Gillis responds. “Okay, I didn’t see it.”

The back-and-forth sets up the promo’s running joke: Thompson keeps suggesting things that have already been done.

That becomes pretty hilarious when Rosalía comes into the conversation.

“What if I made an album that blends pop and classical music in 14 languages?” Thompson asks.

“That’s LUX, my album. I already made that. Sorry,” Rosalía responds matter-of-factly.

And she has a point. Rosalía’s fourth studio album LUX made a huge impact on the Billboard charts following its release, debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The album also debuted at No. 1 on five Billboard charts: Top Latin Albums, Classical Albums, Classical Crossover Albums and World Albums.

The project’s multilingual and classical influences are central to LUX. Rosalía recorded the album in 13 languages, while its expansive orchestral production helped the album cross over into Billboard‘s classical and classical crossover charts.

Rosalía is returning to Studio 8H as the musical guest for the second time. She previously appeared on SNL in March 2022 while promoting Motomami, performing “Chicken Teriyaki” and “La Fama.” She also made a cameo during Bad Bunny’s 2021 SNL performance of “La Noche de Anoche.” This time, Rosalía will join Gillis for the Oct. 10 episode.

Celine Dion has been in the game long enough to know that a little stage mishap isn’t going to stop the show.

During her Paris residency on Wednesday, the superstar took quite a tumble while performing at the Plenitude Arena. But after briefly hitting the floor, Dion quickly popped back up, flashed the audience a thumbs-up and carried on with the performance.

A video that is circulating on social media shows Dion moving across the stage while singing “Dans un autre monde,” one of the French-language songs featured on her current setlist. She is sliding across the stage and at one point, seems to jump and land awkwardly, with her heel possibly catching on her pants before she loses her balance and falls backward.

Dion didn’t stay down for very long. She got back to her feet and gave the crowd a reassuring thumbs-up before continuing the song, turning what could have been a frightening injury into a quick blip in the evening.

The fall happened during the 11th show of Dion’s 26-date Paris residency, which began Sept. 12 and classified her return to regular live performances after a six-year hiatus. The current run continues through Oct. 17, with another 10 performances scheduled for May 2027.

The Paris shows serve as a special comeback for the singer, as she has spent the last several years dealing with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that she publicly revealed in December 2022. The condition has caused muscle spasms and affected her ability to walk and sing, ultimately forcing her to step away from touring and cancel planned performances.

Dion has been candid about just how difficult that period was. In her 2024 documentary I Am: Celine Dion, she described relying on medication to help her function and acknowledged the emotional toll of having to conceal what was happening with her health.

Dion is now back onstage, seemingly determined to keep going even when things don’t go perfectly.

And there’s a lot of music that Dion has in her discography that has made this comeback feel nostalgic and significant. Dion holds four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including “The Power of Love” –which spent 33 weeks on the chart — “Because You Loved Me,” “My Heart Will Go On” and “I’m Your Angel.”

Natanael Cano has postponed the remaining dates of his Natanael Cano Vol. 1 Tour in Mexico, according to a statement provided to Billboard Español by his team Thursday (Oct. 8).

“After careful consideration, Natanael Cano is postponing the remaining dates of the Natanael Cano Vol. 1 tour to focus on his health and well-being,” the statement reads. “We understand this news will be disappointing to fans who planned to attend, and we sincerely apologize for the impact of this decision. Tickets will be refunded through the original point of purchase.”

The artist’s team did not provide additional details about his health. It also asked that Cano and his family’s privacy be respected during this time.

“We’re grateful for the support and understanding of his fans who always stand by him,” the statement concludes.

The tour began Sept. 18 with two consecutive sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros. The trek was scheduled to continue in Mérida (Oct. 17), Boca del Río (Oct. 30), Puebla (Oct. 31); Toluca (Nov. 6), Oaxaca (Nov. 7), Monterrey (Nov. 27), Torreón (Nov. 28) and Acapulco, where the tour was set to conclude Dec. 5, among other dates.

The tour is named after Cano’s latest album, Natanael Cano, Vol. 1, which debuted at No. 4 on Top Regional Mexican Albums and No. 10 on Top Latin Albums. The 15-track project includes “Mar Azul,” “La Cherokee” and covers of Cristian Castro’s “Por Amarte Así” and Jeanette’s “Frente a Frente.”

The Goddess of Pop is not done telling her story. Cher: Part Two: The Memoir continues the account from Cher: Part One: The Memoir, which arrived on Nov. 19, 2024, and topped the charts before it even hit bookshelves. Born Cheryl Sarkisian in El Centro, California, the first volume covers the singer’s childhood, rise to fame and complicated marriage to Sonny Bono, with revelations about Bono’s financial control, infidelity and an admission that he had considered killing her.

Now, fans can look forward to the rest of Cher’s story, with the first book leaving off around 1980. Book Two is set for April 20, 2027, in hardcover, paperback, audiobook and ebook formats, and is available now for preorder. The cover has not yet been revealed, but it features the same color scheme as Volume One, making it a fitting companion piece for the collection. The book is listed at 480 pages, adding to the already considerable 432 pages delivered in the first tome. Clearly, the “Believe” singer has a lot more to say.

Ella Langley has spent the past few years chasing her country music dreams, and she’s been simultaneously thinking about what she wants outside of her glamorous, record-breaking career.

During her SiriusXM Small Stage performance on Tuesday at Denver’s The Grizzly Rose, the singer/songwriter prefaced one of her simpler tracks with a reflection on how different her life looks now compared with her small-town upbringing. Langley grew up in Hope Hull, Alabama, just south of Montgomery, where, as she put it, there wasn’t much to do besides “listen to music and ride dirt roads.”

Related

“My life moves so fast now,” Langley said in the clip, captured by Billboard. “I’m constantly going somewhere. I mean, for me to spend longer than five days in one place is a miracle.”

That pace has apparently gotten Langley thinking about whether she can make room for something a little more settled too. “I turned 27 this year, so I’m kinda thinking like, wait, can she have both?” she said. “Like, can she have the man and can she have the dream at the same time?”

Watch the onstage moment below:

The timing of this comment is notable considering the rumors swirling around a potential relationship with fellow country star Tucker Wetmore. The pair have been the subject of romance speculation, and People reported in September that sources confirmed the two are dating. Neither Langley nor Wetmore has publicly discussed their relationship status. (When Wetmore was asked about the rumors this week by a fan, he simply waved it off by saying, “Next question.”)

Still, Langley didn’t mention Wetmore in the clip. Instead, she described herself as “daydreaming a little bit” before introducing “Somethin’ Simple,” a song that captures the quieter life she’s imagining. The track, which appears on Langley’s sophomore album Dandelion, is about trading the nonstop pace of her current career for something much more domestic and simple: a life involving a home, a dog, a guitar and a hardworking man.

Dandelion debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums back in April, giving Langley her first leader on both charts. Her breakout hit “Choosin’ Texas” also made its presence known on the charts, to say the very least, breaking the record for most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” establishing Langley as one of music’s biggest rising stars.

Stevie Nicks is entering The Hunger Games universe, but not in the way one might think.

The Fleetwood Mac singer wasn’t cast in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, but her unmistakable style helped inspire the wardrobe of Mckenna Grace’s character, Maysilee Donner. Grace revealed that Nicks was among the references on the costume team’s mood boards for the upcoming prequel, which draws heavily from the fashion of the ’60s and ’70s.

“Sunrise on the Reaping, at least [on] all the mood boards, there was Stevie Nicks,” Grace told E! News during the “Elegance Is Authority: The Story, Style, Power of Panem” event in Paris on Tuesday. “It was very ’60s, ’70s-inspired.”

For a movie franchise known for turning its characters’ clothes into an important part of its cinematic world, Nicks makes for a very iconic reference. Her flowing silhouettes, layered looks and bohemian-rock aesthetic have made her one of music’s most enduring style icons, and that influence is gliding its way into Panem.

The fashion in Sunrise on the Reaping also helps distinguish the prequel from the other entries in the franchise. Grace explained that 2023’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes looked to the 1950s for inspiration, while the original movies — starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth — featured styles that felt more contemporary.

“It’s cool because you’re not only seeing younger versions of these characters, but what Panem and the Districts would have looked like at that time period,” Grace said.

As a solo artist and member of Fleetwood Mac, Nicks has landed multiple major Billboard Hot 100 hits, including “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, which peaked at No. 3 in 1981, and “Stand Back,” which reached No. 5 in 1983. Her Fleetwood Mac discography is even more formidable: The Nicks-penned “Dreams” became the band’s sole No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1977, while her solo debut Bella Donna topped the Billboard 200 that same year.

It’s been more than 10 years since Rihanna’s last album, ANTI, which has spent over a decade on the Billboard 200, but the Navy is still starving to hear what Rihanna has in store if she does decide to shift the music landscape with some new tunes.

RiRi hosted a TikTok Live for her Fenty Beauty brand on Wednesday (Oct. 7), and while promoting some of her new products, she took a fan question, which asked her to estimate the amount of unreleased songs she has in the vault.

Rihanna used some Fenty Beauty math to reveal she has “at least” 170 songs in the stash ready to go at the moment.

“If there are 10 products in a vault, then I have at least 17 vaults,” she said. Doing some quick math to solve Rihanna’s equation, 17 times 10 equals the 170 songs she’s cryptically referring to.

Rihanna’s partner, A$AP Rocky, who shares three kids with the beauty mogul, divulged that Rih was back in the studio and actively recording during an August interview with Jason Lee.

 “Yo, she in the studio right now,” he begrudingly disclosed. “Yeah, I said it. Sorry, babe. Like, bro, she working. She cooking, no funny sh–. Damn, I’mma get in trouble for this.”

There hasn’t been much noise when it comes to Rihanna’s plans for new music. Rih’s last release came in 2025 and saw her contribute to the Smurfs Movie soundtrack with “Friend of Mine.”

ANTI arrived in 2016 and spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200. Rihanna returned to the stage in July as part of Jay-Z’s Extra Innings show at Yankee Stadium and performed “Run This Town” and “Bitch Better Have My Money.”

Live Nation was recently the target of a “limited” cybersecurity breach, the company has disclosed.

On Oct. 1, Live Nation notified the Vermont Attorney General’s online portal that two customers in the state were affected by a breach impacting social security numbers, government IDs and health records. No other state had posted a similar notification from Live Nation as of press time, though different states have varying laws about when and how a data breach is to be publicly reported.

It was not immediately clear when this data breach occurred, how many individuals were affected, or whether the victims were Live Nation customers or employees. The company said in a Wednesday (Oct. 7) statement to Billboard, “Live Nation takes the security of our systems and the information entrusted to us seriously.”

“Recently, we identified, contained and secured a cybersecurity incident,” continued Live Nation’s statement. “Following a thorough internal review and independent investigation by a leading cybersecurity firm, we found the incident was limited in scope and had no impact on our operations. The small number of individuals whose information may have been affected are being notified and offered support in monitoring their information.”

The incident has already spawned three class action lawsuits alleging Live Nation didn’t have adequate cybersecurity measures in place to protect sensitive data. Such civil claims are common occurrence when a company discloses a data breach.

Live Nation previously faced two data breaches in 2018 and 2024, both targeting customers of its subsidiary Ticketmaster. The 2018 incident compromised payment information from British ticket buyers, and the company was ultimately fined £1.25 million ($1.65 million) by the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office.

The 2024 breach was part of a larger hack on Snowflake, a popular third-party cloud storage service used by Ticketmaster. The hacking group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the cyberattack, and a Canadian citizen recently pleaded guilty to participating. Civil claims brought by customers against Ticketmaster and other Snowflake clients remain ongoing in U.S. court.

There isn’t a more fitting song to propose to than Bruno Mars‘ “Marry You,” — and Los Angeles Lakers forward Ziaire Williams took full advantage of the timing.

During Mars’ Oct. 2 concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, Williams got down on one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend, model Paris Timan, while the singer performed his 2010 wedding staple.

Related

As Mars sang “Marry You,” Williams presented Timan with a ring as confetti fell around the couple. Timan was visibly emotional as she said yes, and the newly engaged pair embraced as the crowd erupted. The couple also appeared on the stadium’s massive video screens during the celebration.

SoFi Stadium later shared footage of the proposal on Instagram, writing, “It really was a beautiful night,” followed by a teary-eyed emoji and a ring emoji.

The heartfelt moment came during the second of Mars’ five shows at SoFi Stadium as part of his The Romantic Tour, which supports his fourth solo album, The Romantic. And while the proposal was quite the surprise to Timan, the soundtrack was about as on-the-nose as it gets.

Released in 2010 as part of Mars’ debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, “Marry You” became one of the singer’s most recognizable romantic songs. The track peaked at No. 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2011 and has since become a fixture of wedding playlists and proposal videos.

More than 15 years later, Mars is still experiencing some amazing career moves. He continues to make an appearance on the charts despite being absent for almost a decade: The Romantic debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, which was his first solo release since 2016’s 24K Magic. Its lead single, “I Just Might,” also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Mars his 10th leader on the chart and his first No. 1 debut.

Mars has continued adding to that run with “Risk It All,” the opening track from The Romantic, while “Dance With Me” — the album’s closing track and music video that stars Karol G — debuted at No. 42 on the Hot 100.
