Finneas has teamed up with The Zombies’ Colin Blunstone for a live performance of the English band’s 1968 single, “Time of the Season.”

Music-lovers were first treated to a performance of the enduring ‘60s psych-pop hit back in January, when Finneas covered the song during his visit to Australia for radio station triple j’s long-running Like a Version cover series.

“ This is a song I’ve loved over the past year,” Finneas explained in a post-performance interview. “I’ve heard it for years, but I think this year is the year that I’ve listened to it the most. I think if you’re a creator, you hope that you make a piece of work that feels prescient and somehow also feels timeless. I don’t know how ‘Time of the Season’ felt to listen to in the ‘60s, but it sure holds up in my mind in 2025.”

Since Finneas covered the track back in January, it’s become a popular part of his setlist, and on Wednesday (March 5), he brought out the track during a performance at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium. Not content with going it alone, Finneas also brought out Blunstone, who has fronted the band for almost all of its iterations since 1961.

“An unforgettable moment,” wrote The Zombies’ official Instagram account alongside a video of the performance. “Colin joined the incredibly talented @finneas on stage at the Hollywood Palladium for a special performance of Time of the Season—a song that’s resonated for over 55 years. Huge thanks to Finneas for bringing this classic to life in a whole new way!”

The Zombies first formed in Hertfordshire, England in 1961, with their debut album Begin Here arriving in 1965 (a self-titled version was issued in its place for the U.S. market). The group found fame fast, with debut single “She’s Not There” being released the year prior and peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100. 

Though they’d hit the top ten once again with “Tell Her No” that same year, their other big hit was 1968’s “Time of the Season,” which peaked at No. 3 when it was issued as the third single from that year’s Odessey and Oracle. 

The group would split for the first time that same year following the release of Odessey and Oracle, though briefly reunited when “Time of the Season” became a hit. The band would remain divided until 1989, when sporadic reunions would take place. Since 2004, they’ve remained an active presence with their most recent album, Different Game, arriving in 2023.

j–hope feat. Miguel‘s “Sweet Dreams” tops this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (March 7) on Billboard, choosing the BTS star’s fresh song with an R&B veteran as their favorite new music release of the past week.

There was tough competition in this week’s poll, but the latest from j-hope managed to bring in 77% of the vote. Voters this week chose “Sweet Dreams” over new music releases from talent across genres — with artists in the mix including JENNIE, Lady Gaga, Doechii, Dolly Parton and more.

The single, which just dropped on March 7, is a top pick by Billboard readers just in time for j-hope’s solo debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, March 10, where he’ll take the stage to perform “Sweet Dreams.”

It also arrives in the midst of his Hope on the Stage Tour, which kicked off in Seoul at the end of February and makes its way to Brooklyn later this week. Dates in Chicago, Mexico City, San Antonio, Oakland and Los Angeles follow, and then j-hope will bring the show to Asia.

j-hope, producer Johnny Goldstein and songwriters Sam Martin, Sean Douglas and Theron Makiel Thomas have credits on the track.

Among the new music trailing behind “Sweet Dreams” on the poll this week are two albums that have been highly anticipated: JENNIE’s Ruby, with 12% of the vote, and Lady Gaga’s Mayhem, with 7% of the vote.

Lil Nas X‘s “Dreamboy” will be with you in your dreams tonight. The new track is a surprise drop for Sunday evening (March 9), the rapper/singer, aka Montero, announced on the day of its release.

“NEW SONG DREAMBOY OUT TONIGHT!” he said in a social media reveal on Sunday.

When a fan posted “WHAAAAAAAAAATTT, AM I DREAMING??” as a reaction, Lil Nas X quoted their message and responded, “ur in dreamworld baby!”

The homepage on Montero’s official website directs visitors to pre-add or pre-save the artist’s new music on Apple Music and Spotify.

“IT’S HOTBOX SEASON,” reads the page, which also hints there’s more to look forward to this week: “PRE-SAVE FOR SURPRISES.”

So far Lil Nas X has confirmed new single “Hotbox” is also arriving shortly, on Friday. He’d previously dropped a teaser for the track. Billboard reached out to a rep on Sunday to ask for further details, but didn’t immediately receive a response.

Both “Dreamboy” and “Hotbox” are leading up to the release of his forthcoming sophomore album, also titled Dreamboy. The new studio project follows Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s “Industry Baby” featuring Jack Harlow and “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” from his 2021 debut full-length, and breakthrough hit “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which spent 19 weeks at the top of the chart in 2019.

“Good evening, everybody. I would like for you to grab a glass of wine. Let me talk to you for a minute,” he says in an introductory clip of “Dreamboy” (the song) shared on Sunday. The visual shows Lil Nas X framed in a hot pink Dreamboy doll box.

“I was scared then/ I ain’t scared now/ I wasn’t ready then/ But I’m ready now/ I’m on the way/ I’m on the rise/ On the way, yeah I’m on the rise/ Mind your own business/ I’m minding mine,” he raps before naming some of his favorite things, including “long black dick,” “long conversations” and “cuddling with my cat,” then calling out the “stinky booty bitches” at church turning his fun into misery. “Bitch, I’m still making history,” he says.

Listen to the snippet of “Dreamboy” in the preview below.

Glastonbury headliners The 1975 have a new live album that’s now streaming and available to pre-order on limited edition vinyl. Still… At Their Very Best (Live From The AO Arena, Manchester, 17.02.24) was released without promotion on Friday, March 7, a day after the Glastonbury 2025 lineup was announced with The 1975 in the Friday night headliner slot at the U.K. festival in June.

The vinyl version of the live album, recorded during one of the band’s hometown shows in Manchester last year in the midst of their Still… At Their Very Best Tour, is pressed on triple clear vinyl, according to its listing on The 1975’s website. It has an estimated May 30, 2024 release date via Dirty Hit.

The Still… At Their Very Best live set from Manchester follows the 2023 release of a live recording from The 1975’s prior tour, At Their Very Best, recorded at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in 2022.

Still… At Their Very Best kicks off with a smooth opening of songs performed from the band’s latest studio album, 2022’s Being Funny in a Foreign Language.

“Don’t be nostalgic. Do not. Don’t do it,” frontman Matty Healy says to the crowd as the set list shifts to “A Change of Heart,” from The 1975’s No. 1, and highest-charting, album on the Billboard 200, 2016’s I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It.

With Friday’s unveiling of Still… At Their Very Best live, The 1975 also debuted a band logo that’s stylized in an updated font on social media. They’ve seemingly been working on new music for an album that might be called God Has Entered My Body, with fans hopeful for a preview at Glastonbury, if not ahead of their performance at the fest.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know anything about legacy, or the future. I don’t know if anyone’s gonna remember us. But if we are remembered, I hope it’s for this,” Healy says on the newly-released live set, during a heartfelt introduction to one of the band’s early standouts, the carthatic “Robbers,” from their 2014 self-titled debut.

The first half of the 30-track album culminates on romance from the mainstage, with the gut-punch trio of “Fallingforyou,” “About You” and “When We Are Together,” before moving on to the “Consumption” section of the concert, an acoustic B-stage performance that starts with media noise and, at this show in Manchester, had Healy singing “I Like America & America Likes Me,” and 1975 tourmate Polly Money taking lead on the group’s Phoebe Bridgers duet “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America.”

“Hello,” Healy says here. “I haven’t really planned what to say. But I suppose this bit is supposed to be a bit awkward, ‘cause it’s just me under a spotlight.”

“You shouldn’t feel sorry for me, I’m a nepo baby,” he jokes. “My mum [Denise Welch] was on Coronation Street so they gave me a No. 1 album in America. That’s the way it works! That’s the way it works, baby!”

He tells the Manchester audience, “We’re very proud to be from here, and, um, sorry if I ever let you down or whatever.”

The latter half of the live album has The 1975 letting loose — “Let’s play a banger and then we can start taking requests, all right?” Healy says in banter with fans ahead of “It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You) — and celebrating being there together, with the singer voicing sentiment for bandmates/best friends Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel.

“I’m gonna be serious right now for a second,” Healy says at one point. “There’s so many f—ing solo artists, and the reason is, is because all media is now individualized. So you won’t watch the TV with your mates or your mum and dad, you’ll watch your own media. So like every band, when they start with young people, they all have an Instagram, so there’s always this incentive of the individual behind this kind of group. Whereas we started when we were 13, so the idea of the individual wasn’t even a thing. Trust me. Bind together and make something bigger than yourself. That’s my advice — in all stuff. I’d be f—ed without them — I mean you know that! I’d be f—ing selling roses on Brent Cross Roundabout.”

The 1975’s latest live release closes with anthemic sing-alongs “Love It If We Made It” and “Sex,” leading to the high, screaming energy of “People.”
