Looks like LISA has her eyes on your next outfit, with the BLACKPINK star’s new PlayStation merch featuring her distinctive gaze.

Designed in collaboration with LISA, the first merchandise drop accompanying her PlayStation collaboration is now available exclusively through her official Amazon store. The collection expands on the partnership behind the limited-edition LISA × PlayStation DualSense wireless controller, bringing her own style to PlayStation-inspired apparel and accessories.

Fans can also preorder a second merch drop directly through the PlayStation Store ahead of its expected release later this month — with PlayStation yet to confirm an official release date. The upcoming drop features a black “LISA” beanie, a tote bag and graphic T-shirts with a fresh spin on the original designs. The PS5 controller, which opened for preorder on Oct. 2, is scheduled to release on Oct. 30. All merchandise are available exclusively in the U.S.

The full LISA x PlayStation collection features t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, tote bags, keychains/bag charms, stickers and a DualSense controller carrying case. Product availability may vary by retailer, with the first drop available now on Amazon and a second lineup available to preorder through PlayStation.

The collaboration builds on PlayStation’s first PS5 campaign with LISA last year and arrives alongside her EP “Press Play,” released on Oct. 23. In a press release, LISA shared her excitement about creating the collection and adding personal details for fans to appreciate.

“Gaming is something I do whenever I have time to relax, so getting to create this collection with PlayStation was very exciting,” the K-pop star said. “I had a lot of fun adding in little details that I knew my fans would notice, and I wanted the fans to have something they can connect with. I’ve always loved expressing myself through music and fashion, so this collaboration gave me a new way to be creative and show a different side of myself. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.”

Press Play, the new solo EP from LISA of BLACKPINK, tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (Oct. 23) on Billboard, choosing LISA’s EP as their favorite new music.

The six-song solo collection topped new releases from Hilary Duff, John Mayer, ATEEZ, Miley Cyrus and more based on reader votes, closing down the poll at an overwhelming 87%.

Press Play arrived on Friday (Oct. 23) along with a music video for the track “Tarantino,” following the pre-release single “SaWaDiKa” that dropped last month. LISA has a songwriting credit on all six tracks.

The set’s title comes from a “Tarantino” lyric: “It’s a movie baby, come and press play.”

“Got my nails really long like the barrel of my gun,” she sings on the chorus. “And my lipstick all over your face/ I’m a boss, I’m a don when I’m drivin’ to the sun/ It’s a movie, baby, come and press play/ Tarantino, Tarantino/ Got my feet hangin’ out the Camino/ Tarantino, Tarantino/ Got my feet hangin’ out the Camino.”

The Thai artist has a mini Las Vegas residency coming up, with show dates on Nov. 12-14 and Nov. 27-29.

Trailing behind Press Play on Billboard‘s poll are Hilary Duff’s Holiday Things, John Mayer’s “Tom and Jerry,” ATEEZ’s “Drop” and Miley Cyrus’ “Cold Blooded.”

As many may have anticipated, Jay-Z didn’t formally announce whether he’ll be headlining 2027’s Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show during the final stop (Oct. 24) on his heralded JAY-Z30 Tour. Nevertheless, the hip-hop icon kept the packed audience inside Los Angeles’ (Inglewood) SoFi Stadium — host of next year’s NFL showdown — on its feet for two hours as he welcomed surprise guests and fellow genre pioneers Too $hort, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre during the proceedings.

Opening with “The Watcher 2,” Jay-Z smoothly segued into the hip-hop anthem “Blow the Whistle.” Then the crowd erupted into boisterous cheers and applause as Oakland, Calif.’s Too $hort arrived to lead a stadium-wide rap-along. From there — starting with “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” — Jay-Z reeled off a string of classic singles and fan-fave album tracks including “Beach Is Better,” “Family Feud,” “Dirt Off Your Shoulder,” “Dead Presidents” and “D’Evil.” That run also featured the hit “Hard Knock Life.”

In honor of late rapper Nipsey Hussle, Jay-Z integrated elements of “Hussle & Motivate” into the former. He also performed “On to the Next One,” which featured the instrumental from Hussle’s “Last Time That I Checc’d.”

Taking a brief break at that point, Jay-Z turned the stage over to the evening’s two additional surprise guests: L.A’s own Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The pair sparked another rollicking rap-along with renditions of “The Next Episode,” “California Love,” “Nothin’ But a ‘G’ Thang,” and “Still D.R.E.” Afterward, Jay-Z returned for a second half that featured “99 Problems,” “Excuse Me Miss,” “Jigga,” “Empire State of Mind” and “Ni**as in Paris” among other selections before closing with “Encore.”

Among the celebs attending Jay-Z30 night two were Kelly Rowland, Lizzo, DJ Khaled, Yo Gotti, B2K, Snoh Aalegra, Hit-Boy and Wizkid. On the first evening of his two-night, sold-out L.A. stand (Oct. 23), Jay-Z welcomed daughter Blue Ivy, John Legend, DJ Khaled and Scarface as his surprise guests.

These two shows were the culmination of a tour celebrating the 30^th anniversary of Jay-Z’s 1996 debut studio album Reasonable Doubt and the 25^th anniversary of his sixth studio album The Blueprint. Kicking off those celebrations with a three-night engagement at Yankee Stadium in July, Jay-Z took the party overseas to London and Paris in September before coming to L.A.

Further rounding out Jay-Z’s anniversary celebration thus far is the docuseries JAY-Z in 8 with legendary producer Rick Rubin. It’s currently airing on HBO Max. And now it’s wait and see if Jay-Z’s L.A. stand is the portent of things to come in regards to next year’s Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show.

Drake is 40 years old. For his Oct. 24 birthday, he paid tribute to his younger self on social media with a sweet, personal glimpse at who he was as a kid.

“I accept you for you,” he wrote to himself on Instagram.

There, he posted childhood pictures of himself on the eve before turning 40.

In one snapshot, he’s seen sitting on the hood of a car hugging his copy of the book My Teacher Fried My Brains.

One-upping most 40th birthday parties, Drake entered his 40s by sharing the stage with the Backstreet Boys to feature on one of his all-time favorite pop hits, “I Want It That Way.”

The “I Want It That Way” superfan basked in the joy of the stepping in as a bonus Backstreet Boy Friday night (Oct. 23), unabashedly joining on vocals throughout the 1999 single, one of BSB’s top five hits; the track peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that year, and was inescapable on Top 40 radio and MTV’s TRL countdown. Drake was 13 years old in 1999.

BSB’s Howie Dorough worked in a line from Drake’s own “Hold On, We’re Going Home” at the bridge. Besides Howie, bandmates Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, AJ McClean and Kevin Richardson all showed up for the surprise birthday performance. The birthday party was reportedly hosted at New York City members-only club Casa Cipriani.

Drake wrapped up the ballad, taking on the vocal outro. Watch him croon one of his favorite songs in a video shared on X.

“Tonight isn’t about a tour, an album release, or a bunch of videos we shot,” Drake said to party guests Saturday night. “It’s about being alive, staying alive.”

He once said that something about “I Want It That Way” made him feel like he was acknowledged for the first time, and felt like he had a shot at being cool for the first time. According to Drake, the Millennium track’s “one of the greatest songs of all time.”
