Cynthia Erivo and a group of children at her old school will be changed for good after an emotional surprise visit from the Wicked star.
In a heartwarming video shared by BBC Radio 1 on Tuesday (Nov. 18), Erivo walks into a room of shocked squeals and delighted tears from unsuspecting choir students practicing “For Good,” abruptly coming to a halt when they see her enter. As the chaos breaks out, the Tony winner begins to tear up — but that’s nothing compared to the way she cries while watching the kids perform “For Good” just for her.

The students were then given the opportunity to ask Erivo questions. When one asked her to name the most rewarding moment in her career so far, the performer gave a poignant answer. “This,” she said simply.
The video then ends with Erivo singing “For Good” with the students, after which they ask her to do her iconic “Defying Gravity” battle cry, which she happily obliges.
The sweet moment comes just days away from Wicked: For Good‘s premiere on Friday (Nov. 21). It’ll mark the close of an epic musical duology that first kicked off in November 2024, when the first Wicked hit theaters and immediately shattered box-office records.
The first film also earned Oscars for best costume design and best production design, while Erivo was recognized with a nomination in the best actress category. If she’s nominated again for For Good, she’ll have earned the coveted “EGOT” status with an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony to her name

So, you’ve got to DJ a wedding or bar/bat mitzvah. You need music that can please crowds of all ages, that can get wallflowers out of their chairs and on to the dance floor. You want popular line dance songs that everyone knows with moves that have been ingrained in our minds since we were six.
These 25 tracks span decades include Billboard Hot 100 hits such as Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” (No. 1 in 1960), Little Eva’s “The Loco-Motion” (No. 1 in 1962), Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony’s “The Hustle” (No. 1 in 1975) to the Bayside Boys remix of Los Del Rio’s “Macarena” (No. 1 for 14 weeks in 1996) and Soulja Boy’s “Crank That” (No. 1 in 2007). There’s even a few which never quite made it to the top, like Dee Dee Sharp’s “Mashed Potato Time” (No. 2 in 1962), Village People’s “YMCA” (No. 2 in 1979), PSY’s “Gangnam Style” (No. 2 in 2012) and Silentó’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” (No. 3 in 2015).
Whether it’s rap, Latin, country or just sharp-cheddar cheese, this list of line dancing tunes is guaranteed to get the party going in the weirdest way possible. If no one knows the moves, don’t worry about it. The lyrics explain it all, at least half the time. Watch the dance floor light up once these songs start playing over the speakers.
Here’s a list of the best group line dance songs of all time, from the wobble to American country wedding staples, in no particular order.

Last fall, Kito and her good friend Blue May spent a lot on the couch at her house in L.A., binge-watching Couples Therapy and discussing the trajectories of their respective careers. Both producers had recently come out of relationships, and they decided they were ready to focus on not only working, but working on something great.
“We were like, ‘We’ve got to make some s–t happen that we believe in so hard,’” Kito says.
Call it fate or good luck or hard work paying off, but the binge-watching sessions ended a few weeks later, when May got a call from his old friend and previous collaborator Lily Allen. She wanted to make an album, and she was coming to Los Angeles, and more specifically to May’s house in the Hollywood Hills, to do it.
May brought Kito into the project, and with that they were off the couch and in May’s home studio, making some s–t happen that they believed in so hard and that millions of people around the world would eventually believe in too.
An electronic artist and multi-genre producer from Australia who’s lived in Los Angeles since 2018, Kito has a long list of releases on labels including Diplo’s Mad Decent, Astralwerks and Sweat It Out, along with her ongoing Club Kito party at The West Hollywood Edition hotel, events to which surprise guests including Empress Of, A-Trak, Diplo, Mallrat and Tove Lo have shown up. As of October, she also has co-producing credits on eight tracks of Allen’s confessional smash West End Girl.
“I mean, it feels like a new chapter starting,” the artist born Maaike Kito Lebbing says over Zoom from her house, her cat intermittently walking in and out of frame. In addition to working on West End Girl, Kito released a grip of excellent tracks in 2025 and has also executive producer on A Girl Is a Drug, the seven-track EP from DJ/musician/choreographer Parris Goebel that’s out Thursday (Nov. 20). (Goebel is globally known to pop fans for her choreography for superstars like Beyoncé, Rihanna and Justin Bieber, recently becoming a close collaborator of Lady Gaga’s for her Mayhem videos and tour.)
“There were days when I’d be working with everyone on the Lily album, and then I’d be recording with Parris in the evening, and it’s just like, the complete opposite energy — going from just [the Lily project] to club bangers,” Kito explains.
But dipping into, and in fact helping build, the sounds and worlds of other artists has been Kito’s focus for a while. Her career started in Australia when she got into electronic music, then started collecting records and DJing parties. Upon moving to London, she “lived in a five bed share house with a bunch of creatives and got paid cash to DJ” while scoring releases on Skream’s Disfigured Dubz label and generally exploring dubstep, lo-fi and other genres of the day.
She liked this bopping around between sounds and scenes, a sensibility that would inform her later work. “I think that’s why I’m really in my element as a producer for other artists,” Kito says, “because it feels so fun to get into someone’s world and explore it. It’s like being in a different band all the time. I really like that, because I get bored doing the same thing.”
Back in London, things leveled up for her again when began sending out demos, with a beat she sent to Diplo eventually sampled on Trinidad James’ 2013 song “Female$ Welcomed.” This led to her first publishing deal (“I didn’t even know what publishing was,” she says now), with her original James-sampled track eventually used in a Victoria’s Secret campaign.
Compelled by people in her London community who were simultaneously making their own music while also producing for other artists, she moved to L.A. in 2018 to pursue this type of dual path. In SoCal she felt more “invited into rooms that maybe I wouldn’t have been invited into in London, because London is a smaller scene, and people focus on what you’ve done. Coming here people were more like, ‘Oh, you’ve got a different perspective.’”
While experimenting with production techniques, she made loads of music that she just released under her Kito project, which drew the attention of labels in L.A. and resulted in more than two dozens single and EP releases since 2018. But the goal was never to become a jet-setting DJ.
“I’m really proud of the stuff I’ve put out on my artist project, but it’s definitely been me trying stuff as a producer and loosely fitting in the large umbrella of dance music,” Kito says. “I don’t really have a crazy career as a DJ because I don’t know if people know what they’re going to get [from my work.]”
But while her sound vacillated between dancefloors anthems and more indie singer songwriter type fare, she realized she had a superpower in her ability to bridge underground music and pop: “I realized I needed to lean more into what I’m coming to the table with, which is my unique perspective and the more underground music that I’ve been always into. It was always too pop for the underground, and too underground for pop. My palette is a little bit left-of-center, but I love pop music.”
This symbiosis of tastes made Kito the perfect fit to work on left-of-center pop music. She’s got producing credits for artists including Fletcher, Jorja Smith and Empress Of, and also spent 16 days in late 2024 working with May, Allen and a crew of collaborators on West End Girl.
“Blue called me and said, ‘Lily’s coming over to do music and wants to try to do an album. Do you want to do it with us?’” Kito recalls. “I was like, ‘Obviously yes, let’s do it.’”
Kito had actually worked with Allen once before in 2019. Based on that experience and the knowledge Allen wanted to work fast, had the idea to “just rope in all our friends that we know who are great and that everyone’s really comfortable with and see how that feels.”
This social alchemy worked, as a crew including Allen, May, Kito, and a collection of songwriters, producers and instrumentalists — including Chloe Angelides, Chrome Sparks, Alessandro Buccellati, Micah Jasper, Oscar Scheller, Leroy Clampitt, Leon Vynehall, Violet Skies and Hayley Gene Penner — set up shop in the pair of recording spaces May set up in his home.
“It was really special working with Blue, because he’s so good at shutting out the noise of the music industry, and so is Lily,” says Kito. “It was like, ‘This is going to be a little bubble and a world that we’re going to create.”
Gathered with Kito and May, Allen unveiled the themes of the album, which is allegedly about her separation from actor David Harbour amid his infidelities. “She wrote all the song names down in order and told us what she wanted to do the album about,” says Kito. “I mean, she filled us in on everything. We had a big cry and spent a couple hours drinking coffee and just catching up. Then she was like, ‘Okay, let’s do the album.’ I was like, ‘Are you sure?’”
Allen was sure, with the project’s instant rapid pace being “quite unsettling for me,” says Kito, “because I’m used to doing a lot and then picking the best of it. So this was really exciting, but also terrifying. I would be calling Blue like, ‘Hang on a minute. Don’t we need more time?’ But I think he’s such a brilliant quick decision type of person and is so good at trusting his instincts that it gave me confidence to trust mine. I actually don’t think I would have thrown myself into working with Parris this year if I hadn’t come off the back of that process with Lily.” (For his part, upon the album’s release May wrote to Kito on his Instagram that “this record would literally not exist without you! … You brought so many key people into this project – alongside your own insane talent!”)
With two high-profile projects on her 2025 resume, Kito says new opportunities are being presented for her and everyone that worked on West End Girl: “We’ve all been here doing the same work, but this is what happens when one thing connects, it opens doors in a great way. I’m so happy. I’m like, ‘What’s next year gonna be like?’”
While the calendar is quite yet clear, what’s obvious is that there’ll be less binge-watching on the couch and more making s–t happen that Kito believes in, so hard.

“I love portraying a mom, so I would love to see Sophie with her kids,” she mused to Entertainment Tonight while on the red carpet at Sunday night’s Governors Awards (Nov. 16). “Maybe she has a cousin she hasn’t seen in a while, and that could be Sabrina Carpenter. And then Sydney Sweeney could show up. There’s a bunch of girls I really want to be a part of it, and I’m all for it…. we’re all gonna be somewhere tropical, and ABBA will be playing!”
Given Carpenter’s recent career moves, an appearance in a third Mamma Mia film isn’t too far out of the question. Last week (Nov. 11), multiple outlets reported that Carpetner inked a deal to produce and star in Universal Pictures’ forthcoming Lorene Scafaria-helmed musical film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Before “Espresso” and the six 2026 Grammy nominations she earned for Man’s Best Friend, most fans first encountered Carpenter through her roles on Disney’s Girl Meets World and films like 2018’s The Hate U Give and 2019’s Tall Girl.
Sweeney, on the other hand, recently wrapped production on the upcoming third season of HBO’s Euphoria. The Emmy-nominated actresses starred in several films this year, including Echo Valley and Christy, the latter of which has earned her a bit of Oscar buzz. Next month (Dec. 19), Sweeney will team up with Seyfried for Paul Feig’s The Housemaid, which is loosely inspired by Freida McFadden’s 2022 novel of the same name.
Though a third Mamma Mia film remains a nebulous concept, Seyfried clearly has a game plan in place already. She appeared in the 2008 ABBA-themed jukebox musical romantic comedy and returned for the 2018 sequel, which grossed $400 million. Judy Craymer, who worked on the original Mamma Mia stage musical, announced that a third film was in development back in 2020. Three years later, ABBA member Benny Andersson called a prospective third film “wishful thinking” without substantial changes. Regardless, Craymer reaffirmed that a third film is in the works in an October 2023 interview with Variety.

This week: The hits keep coming for Olivia Dean after she makes her SNL debut, while Summer Walker’s latest offers a few streams to some R&B gems and a soul cult favorite gets a surprise viral hit.
Olivia Dean’s Ascension Continues, Thanks to Recent ‘SNL’ Debut
Olivia Dean sits in the top five of both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 this week (charts dated Nov. 22). And, if her recent streaming numbers are any indication, she’s poised to continue soaring. According to early data provided by Luminate, Dean’s catalog earned 21 million official on-demand U.S. streams in the two-day period following her SNL debut (Nov. 16-17), marking a 23% increase from the streams her catalog pulled the week prior (Nov. 9-10). Following her Saturday Night Live performances of “Man I Need” and “Let Alone the One You Love,” Dean’s catalog was also up nearly 120% in U.S. digital sales, with over 2,600 digital downloads sold during Nov. 16-17.
“Man I Need,” which reaches a new peak of No. 4 on this week’s Hot 100, is also up 4% in streams post-SNL, earning 7.5 million official streams during Nov. 16-17. In that same time frame, “Man” sold over 1,000 U.S. digital downloads, marking an 89% jump from the 550 copies it sold during Nov. 9-10. “Let Alone” earned a much larger boost, soaring 44% to over 1.2 million official streams during Nov. 16-18, and leaping a whopping 1,465% to over 300 digital downloads sold during the same period.
Between her SNL debut, a recently announced four-night run at Madison Square Garden and the afterglow of her first Grammy nomination, the world simply can’t get enough of Olivia Dean and The Art of Loving. — KYLE DENIS
Streaming Audiences Say ‘Yes’ to Lift-Heavy Summer Walker Album
Singer/songwriter Summer Walker released one of the year’s most anticipated R&B albums on Friday (Nov. 14) with Finally Over It, third album in her acclaimed Over It trilogy. The 18-track, two-disc set was littered with guests — including big names like Chris Brown, Teddy Swims, 21 Savage and Doja Cat — but nearly as strewn with samples and interpolations from past R&B staples, with many of those originals seeing streaming bumps in the days following its release.
The biggest of the bunch was for “Yes,” the fan-favorite deep cut from Beyoncé’s 2003 solo debut LP Dangerously in Love. The song’s “First time I said ‘no,’ it’s like I never said ‘yes’” hook is borrowed for the intro to Walker’s obversely titled “No,” one of the set’s early streaming breakouts. According to early data provided by Luminate, “Yes” racked up 94,000 official on-demand streams over the first four days of Finally Over It‘s release (Nov. 14-17), nearly double the 48,000 it amassed in the equivalent four-day period the prior week.
Other bumps from the set were enjoyed by a decades-older R&B throwback (Roberta Flack’s 1978 Donny Hathaway duet “The Closer I Get to You,” interpolated in Walker’s “Baller,” up 12% to 89,000 streams over that period) and a 50 Cent soundtrack single (2005’s “I’ll Whip Ya Head,” lifted in “Robbed You,” up 11% to 125,000). – ANDREW UNTERBERGER
Labi Siffre’s Tender 1971 Classic Finds New Life on Streaming After Bumble Ad Sync
A couple months ago (Sept. 8), Bumble launched a new “For the Love of Love” ad campaign, soundtracked by Labi Siffre’s “Bless the Telephone,” a tender 1971 ditty that’s found a new life on streaming in recent weeks.
During the week of Sept. 26-Oct. 2, “Telephone” earned over 216,000 official on-demand U.S. streams. Eight weeks later (Nov. 7-13), the song now boasts over 1.77 million official weekly streams, clocking a 721% increase in activity, according to Luminate.
In addition to the Bumble campaign, Siffre has also become something of a TikTok star. His management-run account frequently shares clips of the now-80-year-old artist reflecting on his life and career, and many users became even more enamored with him after learning about his queerness and anti-apartheid stance — as well as the artist formerly known as Kanye West sampling him for 2007’s “I Wonder.” On TikTok, the official “Telephone” sound plays in over 36,500 posts, while a clip of a young Siffre performing the song earned nearly 15 million views. — K.D.
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.

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.”
