Calvin Harris is moving his overseas talent bookings from WME to agent Brent Smith at Wasserman Music, who has long managed his U.S. bookings, sources tell Billboard. Smith formerly worked at WME and left the agency for Wasserman in late 2020.

Representatives for Harris say the Scottish EDM artist, known for hit tracks like “Summer,” “One Kiss,” “This Is What You Came for” and “How Deep Is Your Love,” had long planned the move to Wasserman Music after Smith officially joined the company.
Harris is booked to play the Wynn in Las Vegas next year as part of a two-year residency that kicks off on Jan. 16. His previous Vegas residency took place at the nearby Fontainebleau Las Vegas, where he served as the 2024 DJ resident for Fontainebleau Las Vegas’ LIV Las Vegas and LIV Beach.
Overseas, Harris is set to close out the rest of the year with festival appearances at Ushaïa Dubai; the Soundstorm festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Indonesia’s Jakarta Warehouse Project; and Creamfields Asia.
The move effectively consolidates all of Harris’ live business under Wasserman. Previously, Harris’ international touring was handled by WME agent David Levy, who came under scrutiny earlier this year when he signed a letter sent to Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis urging the festival organizer to remove Irish band Kneecap from the U.K. festival’s lineup. Sources say Harris’ move to Wasserman was not related to the letter, but rather was out of a desire to reunite his full touring business with Smith.

Jessica Simpson is getting her fans and followers ready for the holiday season without breaking the bank.
The “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” singer just dropped her latest Walmart collection including silhouettes perfect for wearing to your next holiday party. Each piece is under $100, and marries Cali boho style with Texan flair. You’ve got tons of options to choose from to build an outfit, including a multitude of denim options, printed coats, flirty tops and even a few bag options. To help you sift through all the Simpson-approved offerings collection, we’ve included some of our favorite pieces below for you to shop at Walmart’s website.
Jessica Simpson Women’s and Women’s Plus Myrtle Barrel Leg Jeans
Good denim is always hard to pass up, especially with a $32.50 price tag. These Myrtle jeans boast a barrel leg, an on-trend silhouette seen on the likes of Jennifer Lopez and now Simpson. Sizing currently ranges from 2 to 16 plus. Barrel jeans are, as the name suggests, barrel-esque with wide legs and a high waistline. These feature a light wash with seams running down the legs, giving the style a more tailored fix, juxtaposing the usual oversized nature of a barrel jean. If this light wash isn’t your thing, the Myrtle comes in five other colorways.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Aleera Ribbed Knit Top with Lace Trim
This ribbed knit top is a stunner, and one we can envision being worn and re-worn to infinity. Retailing for $22.50, the top comes in three styles, black, a sage green and burgundy with sizes ranging from XS to XL. The knitted top is made of a cozy and slightly stretchy mix of 58% cotton, 39% polyester, and 3% spandex and features a square neckline and long sleeves trimmed with dainty lace for a peekaboo effect. This is a great basic that can replace your less-than fashionable graphic tees or turtlenecks. We’d suggest you wear tucked into jeans, maybe with loafers and a cozy jacket over top.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Taylor Hobo Bag in Pinot Noir
This Taylor Hobo bag bridges the gap between form and function. The everyday style retails for $28.78 and is roomy enough to store all your go-tos at 16.5” W x 11” H x 5” D. The bag features a patchwork design on the front panel and a unique wine-color and gold-studded detailing that offers the piece that extra edge. The inside is lined with a whimsical paisley print, paying homage to the boho category it falls under. If you don’t like the reddish brown hue, the Taylor Hobo also comes in black, a more versatile option. It’s a unique find, especially at that price, and one we can see being worn frequently to the office or out for coffee with friends.
This Dionne cardigan is one of our favorites from the holiday collection. Retailing for $29.50, the layering piece features this unique berry red hue with black striping and shiny button accents. The style is slouchy and super cozy with this fuzzy mohair-esque texture that really brings life to the piece. The hem is slightly cropped, while the neckline is a deep V. Sizing ranges from XS to XL. While you can wear this cardigan on its own, we’d utilize it as a layering piece to warm up your band tees or blouses.
Winter and animal print go hand in hand. You can’t really go wrong with leopard print, and Simpson’s holiday collection is chock-full of the whimsical print. This faux-fur number currently retails for $62.50, one of the more expensive pieces in the collection, but it’s well worth the price. Sizing ranges from XS to XL and we’d recommend sizing up for a more oversized fit. The style is made of cozy faux-fur and features a chic, rounded collar and a cropped hem, sitting just above the hips to allow your bottoms to shine through. This is a warm and stylish option if you’ve been on the hunt for a winter coat.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Stayce Cropped Ruffle Top with Long Sleeves
The Stayce is another one of our favorites because it’s one of the true boho-esque styles in the collection. Retailing for $29.50, the top features dramatic bell sleeves and an equally dramatic, cropped flared hemline that gives the top shape. The neckline also gets the same flared treatment, reminiscent of a pirate or something we’d see worn on a ’70s flower child. All the flared accents give the piece so much movement so it’s definitely a style you’ll want to be doing some twirling in. Sizing is available in XS to XL. To style, we’d wear the Stayce with high-waisted denim or a floral maxi skirt and some chunky western boots, leaning into the boho vibes.
If you’re heading to a holiday party this season, you’ll probably be needing some kind of fancy shoe. These Lollah heels just might do the trick, and they’re only $29.99, so you’ll have plenty of funds left over to buy people gifts. This style is leopard print; however, there’s a metallic silver option too. The shoe features a comfortable block heel standing at four inches, giving the wearer an elongated silhouette. A thin ankle strap further secures the shoe to the foot, put in place with a silver buckle. It’s a simple but effective shoe with a closed toe, great for colder weather. We’d style these with a black maxi dress or for the office with a sleek and tailored suit.

Cardi B has shared the first photo of her baby boy she shares with Stefon Diggs.
Cardi posted the carousel of photos on Wednesday (Nov. 19), which shows the rapper cuddling her baby in a nursery, as well as in the hospital bed right after his birth. The caption notes the date of Nov. 4, in honor of her son’s birthday, and includes an array of emojis including a teddy bear and a football.
Cardi B announced that she had welcomed her baby boy with Diggs on Nov. 13 via Instagram. This is Cardi’s fourth child, following her trio of kids with ex-husband Offset: 7-year-old daughter Kulture, 4-year-old son Wave, and 1-year-old daughter Blossom.
Cardi announced her son’s arrival via an Instagram video soundtracked by the song “Hello,” from her latest sophomore album Am I the Drama?, which dropped back in September.
“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons,” she wrote in part in the lengthy caption. “My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve. This next chapter is Me vs. Me!”
Cardi and the New England Patriots player began officially dating back in May, and Cardi announced their pregnancy news shortly before the arrival of her new album in September, telling CBS Mornings: “I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”

The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. This week, for the upcoming Billboard 200 dated Nov. 29, as Taylor Swift and KPop Demon Hunters continue to reign on the chart, a flurry of new albums looks to get in just behind them.
Summer Walker, Finally Over It (LVRN/Interscope): It’s been four years since R&B star Summer Walker’s previous album Still Over It – twice the time it took in between that set and predecessor Over It – so her new album certainly rates as one of 2025’s most-anticipated. Finally Over It finally arrived on Friday (Nov. 12), with an 18-track, two-disc streaming edition that includes big-name features from Chris Brown, 21 Savage, Doja Cat, Teddy Swims and many more.
The set has some big numbers to live up to following Still Over It, which became Walker’s first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 when it debuted atop the chart with a career-best 166,000 first-week units. That set was riding momentum from both the slow-building acclaim for the original Over It and a top 40-charting Hot 100 hit lead single in “Ex for a Reason”; it may be tougher for Finally Over It to match that after four years and without a new single (though “Heart of a Woman” did reach No. 57 on the chart in late 2024).
Tracks from Finally littered the top of the real-time Apple Music chart upon the album’s release, but its presence on the Spotify Daily Top Songs USA listing was more muted — with no songs remaining in the top 200 on the Nov. 18-dated chart — so the album will have to sell in big numbers to threaten the top of the charts. To that end, Walker has released four vinyl editions of the album (with 14 tracks on all physical releases), as well as four CD boxed set editions, each with a branded piece of clothing and a copy of the CD.
In addition, on Tuesday night Walker released the set’s Cocktail Hour deluxe edition as an Apple/iTunes exclusive for streaming and download — with five audio bonus tracks. She also dropped a The Afterparty deluxe edition of the album to DSPs and download services, which adds three different new tracks to the 18-track set, including a solo version of the original’s Anderson .Paak collab “1-800 Heartbreak.” It might be enough to make Taylor Swift sweat at the very top of the chart, but it should elbow Finally Over It into the discussion for the week’s top debut.
NF, Fear (NF/Capitol): Don’t count out NF, who hasn’t had a major crossover hit since 2017’s “Let You Down,” but who maintains a very steady chart presence — with a pair of No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, and a No. 2 bow most recently with 2023’s Hope. His latest release isn’t a full-length, but a six-track EP; still, all six tracks debuted in the top 60 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA chart (including two in the top 10); all six bowed higher than any track from Still Over It.
The set should also sell well to the rapper’s highly devoted fanbase, with Hope available for purchase in a pair of vinyl variants, a standard CD, and a deluxe CD boxed set (with a T-shirt and CD) — with signed copies of the set previously available on his webstore already sold out. If the set’s streaming performance can remain strong enough to make up for its relatively short track length, it should have a strong chance of a top five debut, and may also contend for the highest-bowing set of next week.
5 Seconds of Summer, Everyone’s a Star! (Republic): Now a full decade past its initial breakthrough, Australian pop-rock group 5 Seconds of Summer has maintained a respectable mainstream standing by evolving and maturing as it’s progressed. Consequently, it’s managed to reach the top two on the Billboard 200 with each of its first five studio albums, most recently reaching No. 2 with 2022’s 5SOS.
The band’s new embrace of self-awareness on Friday’s Everyone’s a Star! can be seen both in advance single “Boyband” and the name of its Cool Dad deluxe edition — a webstore exclusive with five additional tracks (including the title track), to go with a separate Fully Evolved deluxe (four bonus tracks, not with “Cool Dad”) and seven additional variants in both vinyl and CD. The surfeit of deluxe editions should help the album reach the Billboard 200’s top 10, though continuing the group’s streak of top twos might be a bit out of reach.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
“It pains me to have to acknowledge this, because Harvey Mason, Jr. is a longtime personal friend, and I also don’t attribute any of this directly to him,” Jackson tells Billboard in an exclusive statement. “But I found it to be deeply disappointing that [the Recording Academy] subjectively chose to disqualify Moliy’s “Shake It to the Max (Fly)” remix – one of the biggest songs in the world this year – from the Best Global Music Performance and African Music categories.”
The “Shake It to the Max” remix arrived within the 2026 Grammys eligibility period on Feb. 21, with new verses from Shenseea and Skillibeng, and a revised intro from Moliy, which satisfies the Recording Academy’s definition of a “new recording.” As per the 68th Grammy Awards Rules & Guidelines, “new recordings” are defined as material that has been recorded within five years of the release date.
Beyond the performance and production criteria, the “Max” remix also holds a unique ISRC (International Standard Recording Code), a globally recognized digital identifier assigned to distinct sound recordings and music videos, confirming it as its own distinct master recording. The remix is also the only version of “Max” that has ever been submitted for Grammy consideration, which complies with the Recording Academy’s rule that “only one version/mix of a recording is eligible in the GRAMMY process in any year.”
Due to its fusion of Ghanaian Afropop and Jamaican dancehall, gamma. submitted the “Shake It to the Max” remix for consideration in the best global music performance category. On Sept. 20, the Recording Academy notified the Jackson-founded label that the song was deemed ineligible in that category but remained eligible for best music video and song and record of the year. The Academy did not allow the “Max” remix to compete in a different genre category, despite compelling arguments for the song fitting within the parameters of pop, melodic rap or African music.
“It really is unfortunate that ‘Shake It to the Max’ isn’t eligible in the best African music performance and best global music performance categories this year,” the Recording Academy says in an exclusive statement to Billboard. “We all acknowledge it is a massive song with significant cultural impact. Unfortunately, but quite simply, it was submitted as a remix, and as per our longstanding and published rules, remixes are just not eligible in these categories. Regardless, our goal is always to honor, respect and fairly represent creators and the music they make — so we will keep working to improve our entry processes and eligibility guidelines.”
According to gamma., the Recording Academy notified the label of the song’s ineligibility on Sept. 20. The gamma. team tried to appeal the decision from Sept. 20-26, looping in Jackson on Oct. 1 — who then notified Mason Jr. on Oct. 2, the day before first-round voting began.
“To be disqualified because we decided to call it a remix instead of ‘Part Two’ in our submission process is an interesting choice,” Jackson says. “This is especially odd, given the fact that 50% of it is a new composition… The answer of ‘That’s just the way we do things, and that’s just the rule’ doesn’t feel respectful toward what these artists achieved.”
In addition to topping U.S. Afrobeats Songs (26 weeks), Rhythmic Airplay and World Digital Song Sales, the “Max” remix also reached the top 10 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (No. 8), helping the song reach No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 — one of the best showings for a 2020s dancehall track on Billboard’s marquee singles ranking. Crowned one of the defining songs of the summer by Spotify, “Max” also garnered remixes from Sean Paul, Major Lazer and more major artists.
Notably, “Shake It to the Max” is not the first time a global crossover collaboration — even one initially dubbed a remix — lit up the nominations ballot. Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” which received a Justin Bieber remix three months after the release of the original, earned nominations for best pop duo/group performance and record and song of the year at the 2018 Grammys, ultimately losing all three. The word “remix” does not appear in the title of “Despacito” on any publicly available GRAMMY-related documents or media, despite appearing in the song’s title across DSPs. A similar naming convention was utilized for Ariana Grande’s “The Boy Is Mine.” On DSPs, the Grammy-nominated version of the song featuring Brandy and Monica includes the word “remix” in the title.
There is also a Grammy category specifically for remixes. The best remixed recording category honors “remixed recordings (‘remixes’) where the remixer takes previously recorded and released material and creatively adds to, alters or transforms it in such a way as to create a new and unique performance.” The 68th Grammy Awards Rules & Guidelinesalso state that “the addition of a vocal performance by a featured artist without substantive change to the original music recording is not eligible as a remix.” The Skillibeng and Shenseea-assisted “Max” remix does not substantively change the music of the original track beyond the addition of new vocal performances by featured artists, so it would not have been eligible to compete in this category.
“How symbolically discouraging is it for up-and-coming artists from Africa or the Caribbean that such an undeniable global success may have a likelihood of not being honored by the Academy in the future because of rigid conventionalism,” Jackson continues. “The concept of it all is at best devoid of any common sense or any fluidity in thought, and at [worst], screams the lack of leverage that independent artists and independent music companies systematically have against the machine.”
Moliy signed to gamma., a fast-growing independent media company rivaling major labels in areas like music distribution, in 2024. At the 2026 Grammys, hundreds of indie artists will compete for golden gramophones, including Durand Bernarr, Destin Conrad and Shaboozey — though they’re still in the minority in the ceremony’s biggest categories compared to artists on majors.
Despite two global smashes in “Max” and Full Blown & Yung Bredda’s “The Greatest Bend Over” this year, Caribbean music continues to be sidelined at the Grammys. While this year’s all-Jamaica best reggae album lineup is cause for celebration (non-Caribbean winners have courted controversy as recently as 2022), the region’s myriad culture-driving, arena-headlining sounds (soca, konpa and bouyon, chief among them) remain overlooked.
Even though “Max” will not get the chance to compete for a Grammy, hopefully its absence at the 2026 ceremony encourages the Academy to fine-tune their rules regarding remix submissions — and better serve and honor Caribbean artists and music.

Paris Jackson says she’s “increasingly concerned” that the work of Michael Jackson’s estate, including the long-anticipated biopic Michael, has been designed to “enrich and aggrandize” her late father’s executors rather than build long-term wealth for the family.
The claims are the latest in a back-and-forth between Paris and the co-executors of Michael’s estate, A&R executive John McClain and lawyer John Branca. Paris brought a petition this summer challenging the estate’s spending on outside attorneys, but a Los Angeles probate referee struck the claims on Nov. 10 — and ordered Paris to refund the estate for its troubles — after finding that the petition improperly sought liability for statements in court that are shielded under legal privilege rules.

Paris is now trying a different tactic to air her grievances, submitting an objection to the estate’s 2021 account statements on Tuesday (Nov. 18) in probate court. The objection alleges the executors have “completely failed to competently invest cash, while at the same time deploying capital only where it had the potential to compensate them personally.”
According to Paris, McClain and Branca have let more than $464 million sit idle because they “do not share in the upside” from long-term investments. She says they’ve “instead focused on funneling as much cash as possible into entertainment-industry related projects,” for which she says the executors have received a 15% commission.
“Paris is increasingly concerned the estate has become the vehicle for John Branca to enrich and aggrandize himself, rather than serve the beneficiaries’ best interests and steadfastly preserve her father’s legacy,” reads the court filing. “Indeed, it appears that Mr. Branca used his position as an executive producer, a role he has never before performed in connection with any dramatic feature film, to cast the sole A-list actor in the production, Miles Teller, to play himself in the upcoming feature biopic Michael.”

This isn’t the first time Paris has publicly criticized Michael, which is set for release in April 2026 after years of setbacks and delays. In a series of Instagram posts in September, she said the script had “a lot of inaccuracy” and “full-blown lies.”
The highly anticipated biopic is the latest of the estate’s endeavors to monetize Michael’s intellectual property, including catalog deals, two Cirque du Soleil shows and the Broadway production MJ: The Musical. These efforts have been remarkably lucrative; though Michael died in 2009 with more than $500 million in debt, the estate is now worth $2 billion, according to Branca and McClain, who cited those numbers in responding to Paris’ previous court petition, saying their business strategies have brought “unprecedented success” to the estate.
“The executors did not follow the typical — and most defensible — playbook used by personal representatives of an estate in such dire circumstances, i.e., sell the assets, pay off the debts, put what little was left into the trust, and take substantial statutory fees for their trouble,” wrote the executors on Sept. 15. “Instead, they waived their executors’ fees altogether and bet on their ability to turn the estate around.”
The executors said their legal spending, which Paris had challenged as overinflated, has been integral to accomplishing these goals. They also argued that attorney services are necessary to fight multiple ongoing lawsuits claiming Michael sexually abused children during his life, which the estate vehemently denies.
In a statement to Billboard on Wednesday (Nov. 19), a source close to the estate said the latest objection is “another misguided attempt by Paris Jackson’s attorneys to provide themselves some cover.”
“The fact is Paris Jackson’s lawyers lost their latest case against the estate and have been ordered to pay the estate’s attorneys’ fees,” added the source. “All the beneficiaries are well taken care of by the estate. This is a weak attempt to change the narrative of their loss.”

During a stop at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on (Nov. 18), Hutcherson recounted befriending Grande during their teen years, and her steadfast commitment to pursuing a singing career.
“When I was 15-17, I was friends with a bunch of the cast of Victorious,” he explained to Fallon. “I met Ariana multiple times in that day and age. She, one day, told me, ‘I’m a really good singer.’ I was like, ‘I believe you.’ Then she was like, ‘No, I can do the Mariah Carey, like, whistle sing.’ I was like, ‘Really?’ [And she said], ‘Yeah, watch!’ It was like a whole dolphin-voice-sounding thing. I was like, ‘You’re really good!’ She’s like, ‘I’m gonna be a singer too.’ Cut to [present-day] Ariana Grande … she was right!”
Grande starred as Cat Valentine for all four seasons of Victorious from 2010 to 2013. The following year, she reprised her role in Sam & Cat, a spinoff that lasted just one season and aired in the interim between her debut and sophomore studio albums. Of course, Grande quickly transitioned into a pop career that’s earned her nine Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers, six Billboard 200 No. 1 albums, and two Grammy wins. Last year, Billboard crowned her the No. 9 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century, and, this year, she was named the No. 12 Top Songwriter of the 21st Century on the Hot 100.
Grande’s famous pipes have also resulted in two official collaborations with Carey: 2020’s “Oh Santa!” remix (with Jennifer Hudson) and 2024’s “Yes, And?” remix. At September’s MTV Video Music Awards, Grande delivered a heartfelt speech while presenting Carey with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award — before winning three Moonpeople of her own that very night.
Last year, Grande made her grand, formal return to the silver screen in Wicked, for which she earned an Academy Award nomination for best actress in a supporting role. The “We Can’t Be Friends” singer will reprise her role in Wicked: For Good, which hits theaters on Friday (Nov. 21), and is expected to follow in the box office-conquering, award-winning footsteps of its prequel.

Beto Montenegro explains how the Caribbean mindset has shaped Rawayana’s eighth album.
Beto Montenegro: I think it’s about enjoying it, I don’t know. That speech was written that morning, so no, no, no, you don’t plan that much either. I feel very happy. I think it’s one of those songs, one of those special ones, right? That raise and do things, right? And influence in society and generate interesting debates. And today it’s recognized at the Latin Grammys. We didn’t expect it much. So, yes, like here processing the surprise, you know? How nice.
Interviewer:How would you say, now that we were talking, what was Rawayana’s process?
I think Rawayana’s process has been a … it’s been a very, very, very beautiful and very worked-on process, right? And of short steps, right? And of resistance, a lot of resistance, right? It wasn’t so much about speed.
Today I feel a little bit exposed, because there are many things that, from the beginning, were public, right? I haven’t been an artist who curated a lot and released things carefully, but rather things came out, and everything we’ve done was always exposed to a group of people that each time got bigger. So, yes, it’s been a process quite transparent with respect to the public, you know? You can see all our mistakes and all the successes and everything — everything is on the web, right?
From the beginning until today, everything feels … I feel very solid in some way because we’ve completed all the processes to get to where we are now, right? From the beginning, the slang, right? It’s there. And then there’s kind of been a tendency toward that for a while now, and circumstantially we were already there, like, very much communicating in that way.
