Bath & Body Works just dropped its most decadent collaboration yet, with popular New York City bakery Milk Bar transforming its iconic flavors into an assortment of body care, home care, and decor items that highlight a sweet, cozy, and festive mood this holiday season. Chart-topping artists like Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, and Jay-Z are all fans of Milk Bar, with Swift famously ordering a Milk Bar cake for her 34th birthday (pals Gigi Hadid, Sabrina Carpenter and HAIM were among those celebrating with the “Fate of Ophelia” singer that night).

The limited-edition Milk Bar x Bath & Body Works drop features five different scents, including owner Christina Tosi’s famous Birthday Cake, Cereal Milk Soft Serve, Raspberry Holiday Pie Bar, and Peppermint Bark Truffle.

“The holidays are all about flavor, fun and nostalgia,” said Tosi, Milk Bar’s chef and founder. “We had so much fun dreaming up these new treats and fragrances with Bath & Body Works. Whether you’re lighting a candle or biting into a slice of Peppermint Bark Cake, we hope this collection brings a little extra sweetness to your season.” 

Imagine the smell of freshly-baked cookies when you enter your space, or embedded in your daily body routine before you wind down for the night. The indulgence of your favorite desserts can now be experienced in your own home during the most wonderful time of the year.

Below are some of our top picks from the Bath and Body Works x Milk Bar Collection.

Home and Body Care

Whether it’s your birthday or not, you can still blow out candles on your favorite Milk Bar flavor without oversnacking. Think vanilla, frosting, and sprinkles in a form of a candle.

Hand sanitizing is still a must, and you can now do it with your favorite cake scent in a travel-friendly size that you can take with you everywhere you go.

This fun and fruity raspberry pie scent is available as a foaming hand wash. The soap is gentle enough for sensitive skin and delivers a long-lasting scent. The colorful decorative bottle looks great on your countertop too.

A Milk Bar classic reinvented in a skincare: this body cream is soft, hydrating, and deliciously creamy. Massage on your body after every shower to leave your skin feeling moisturized for up to 48 hours.

This bottle does exactly what it promises, delivering the smell of holiday cookies in a fine fragrance spray. Think cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar but refined as a mist for your hair and body.

This is probably the most distinct scent in the line since it leans more mint chocolate than sugary vanilla. There is a great balance between the peppermint and sweet scent that will transport you right into holiday mode inside your shower.

If you want your house smelling like peppermint bark truffle without needing to light a candle or spritz a mist, go get yourself one of these wallflowers (Bath & Body Works’ name for its plug-in scent diffusers) to have the fragrance around you always on.

Since the holidays are all about giving, why decide on one scent when you can snag them all? This is a great gift for the dessert-obsessed person in your life who will surely thank you, even if it’s yourself.

The Bath & Body Works x Milk Bar collection also includes a range of cute accessories that you can pick up online.

This pouch is sized for a tube of lipstick or lip glass or one of the Milk Bar hand sanitizer sprays. Plus the attached clip is great for your keys.

While Bath & Body Works offers a number of different Wallflower plugs, we like this one, inspired by the Milk Bar dessert truck.

This accessories pouch is inspired by Milk Bar’s cookie carton and is great for storing toiletries, makeup or charging cables. What we like: it comes with two cookie-shaped zip pouches too.

A Grammy-nominated drill rapper, an Olympian and a supermodel walk into a bar, who’s serving the most?

That’s the question Ice Spice attempts to answer with her new “Baddie Baddie” music video, which features guest appearances by supermodel Anok Yai and Olympic gold medal gymnast Suni Lee.

Directed by Evil Twins and Ice herself, the “Baddie Baddie” music video documents Ice living out the baddie blueprint between New York and Paris Fashion Week. Whether she’s twerking in stretch limousines, handling business in luxury restaurants, or strutting down the street with her clique, Ice is in complete and total control in every frame of her new video.

Decked out in designer clothes (especially Chanel), Ice also spends the “Baddie Baddie” video shifting away from her trademark ginger hair and closer to a light pink color across styles ranging from asymmetrical bobs to dramatic updos. For their cameos, both Yai and Lee kept it cute, exuding their own versions of Ice’s “baddie energy.” Notably, Yai recently appeared in Doja Cat’s new “Gorgeous” music video, which arrived on Sept. 26.

The “Baddie Baddie” music video marks Ice’s first visual since making amends with Latto. That newly-repaired relationship resulted in “Gyatt,” their first official collaboration, which topped the Bubbling Under Hot 100. “Baddie Baddie,” which samples M.I.A.’s hit song “Bad Girls,” is also Ice’s first solo song since dropping her Y2K! debut album in July 2024. That record reached No. 18 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Hot 100 hits “Think U the S—t” (No. 37) and “Did It First” (with Central Cee, No. 51).

Although she’s not currently in an album cycle, it’s been a busy year for Ice Spice. Over the summer, she hopped on KATSEYE’s “Gnarly” remix, got cast (and tapped to contribute an original song to) an upcoming SpongeBob animated film, and acted in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest.

Welcome to Billboard Pro’s Trending Up newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry’s attention. Some have come out of nowhere, others have taken months to catch on, and all of them could become ubiquitous in the blink of a TikTok clip.

This week: Olivia Dean’s new album keeps growing on streaming, while Role Model gets a bump from a TV appearance (and a Charli XCX cameo) and a big show for synchs wraps its second season.

Olivia Dean’s Breakout Album Keeps Breaking: ‘Art of Loving’ Still Growing After Two Weeks

It’s already been an incredible year on both sides of the Atlantic for rising British singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, who has both topped her home country’s Official Songs Chart for the first time and reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 (so far) with the exuberant “Man I Need.” The momentum from that crossover hit has helped her sophomore album, The Art of Loving, also find immediate success, bowing atop the Official Albums Chart and debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. 

It’s an impressive stateside bow from an artist who’s never reached either the Hot 100 or Billboard 200 before — but it might only be the beginning of Olivia Dean’s U.S. takeover. This week, the album climbs from No. 8-7 on the Billboard 200, and next week it might go even higher, as several songs from the album continue to garner steam at an eye-catching rate. 

Dean has already notched three Hot 100 entries off Loving: “Man,” which falls No. 12-20 on the chart this week due to the avalanche of Taylor Swift debuts above it, “So Easy (To Fall in Love),” which climbs No. 98-87, and the album’s first single “Nice to Each Other,” which bowed at No. 98 last week but falls off this week. For the first four days of this tracking week (Oct. 10-13), all four songs are rising in official on-demand U.S. streams from the same period the prior week (Oct. 3-6): “So Easy” is growing at the fastest rate, up 54% to 3.6 million, but “Man” (up 4.1% to 7.6 million) and “Nice” (up 2% to nearly 2 million) also see gains, according to Luminate. 

Meanwhile, two other songs from Loving have already peeked their heads onto the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart: “Baby Steps” (No. 24) and “Let Alone the One You Love” (No. 25). Both of those songs are also seeing strong gains over the same period — each rising 15% to nearly 1.7 million in streams — and could soon be threatening Hot 100 debuts of their own. 

All in all, The Art of Loving is up 12% to 23.4 million streams over the first four days of this tracking week — making it the extremely rare October 2025 pop album to keep finding its way to the light, while still overshadowed by the behemoth that is The Life of a Showgirl. – ANDREW UNTERBERGER

Rodel Model Rides ‘SNL’ & Charli XCX Co-Sign to Major ‘Sally’ Streaming Gains 

Singer-songwriter Role Model (born Tucker Pillsbury) broke through as one of the buzziest new names in the alt-pop scene this year, and now he can check “Saturday Night Live performer” off his bucket list. On Saturday (Oct. 11), the Maine-born artist played his breakthrough single, “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” on SNL, featuring a cameo from Charli XCX as Sally. Between Charli’s hair-flipping surprise appearance, coming on the heels of her and T-Swift’s rumored Showgirl tiff — and SNL viewers sarcastically trying to differentiate Role Model from fellow 2025 breakout Sombr — “Sally” won big on streaming. 

In the weekend following his SNL debut (Oct. 12-13), “Sally” collected 835,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, marking a 26% lift from the 661,000 streams it earned the weekend prior (Oct. 5-6), according to early data provided by Luminate. “Sally” also enjoyed a brief stint in the top five of the all-genre iTunes chart, with an 111% boost in sales. The track moved a little over 1,000 digital downloads following the SNL performance (Oct. 12-13), versus the 482 downloads it sold the previous weekend (Oct. 5-6). 

Although “Sally” has yet to reach the Hot 100, the song has already hit four different Billboard airplay rankings, including a chart-topping run on Adult Alternative Airplay. — KYLE DENIS

‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Keeps on Keepin’ on With Finale Streaming Bumps

The James Gunn-created HBO Max series adaptation of DC Comics’ Peacemaker has become a big streaming hit over its first two seasons — with a large part of the appeal coming from its hair metal- and ‘80s arena rock-inspired soundtrack. In the first season, that soundtrack not included such classic L.A. groups as Faster Pussycat and Hanoi Rocks, but revivalists like Bang Camaro and Wig Wam — the latter of whom provided the theme to the show’s viral credits sequence, featuring the John Cena-led cast in a coordinated dance number. 

Now, season two of the show has also come and gone, and as the show continues to grow in popularity, so do the streaming spikes it provides its featured songs. Revivalists Steel Panther and Cruel Intentions saw official on-demand U.S. streaming gains of 915% and 2,764%, respectively, for their songs “F–king My Heart in the A–” and “Reckoning” after they were used in the Oct. 13 season finale, with the two songs combining for 84,000 streams over the four days after, according to early data provided by Luminate. Meanwhile, early-’90s hitmakers Nelson saw similar gains for a later-period song, 2010’s “To Get Back to You,” which rose 5,933% to 63,000 streams over the same period. 

But of course, the biggest numbers were reserved for the season two credits theme: Foxy Shazam’s “Oh Lord.” The song, originally from the Cincinnati glam metallers’ 2010 self-titled album, has been rising in streams for the last eight weeks — up 2,793% to nearly 967,000 weekly streams since the tracking week ending Aug. 21 — and rises once more post-finale, up 54% to 837,000 streams for the Oct. 10-13 period. – AU

Hayley Williams’ Stirring ‘Tonight Show’ Performance Converts Several Hundred Thousand “True Believers” 

Last week (Oct. 9), Hayley Williams took to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform “True Believer,” a proudly political standout from her latest LP, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. Marked by a moving arrangement featuring a “Strange Fruit” interpolation, as well as a set peppered with visual nods to Nina Simone’s “Mississippi Goddam,” Williams’ performance quickly dominated social media conversations in the following days. On YouTube, the official performance clip boasts just under 750,000 views. “True Believer” is also the album’s most popular visualizer, with nearly 480,000 views. 

According to early data provided by Luminate, “True Believer” logged 402,000 official on-demand U.S. streams in the four-day period following Williams’ Tonight Show performance (Oct. 10-13). That marks a whopping 99% increase from the 201,000 streams the track pulled the same period the week prior (Oct. 3-6). 

Released on Aug. 28, Ego Death reached No. 33 on Independent Albums and spawned the singles “Glum” and “Parachute.” While none of the album’s individual tracks have reached a Billboard chart, if it maintains its momentum, “True Believer” very well could. — KD 

There’s a saying that time is a flat circle, and that has applied to music as well, with songs from over a decade ago recirculating and trending on TikTok for a brand new generation.

Kid Cudi is the latest recipient of a Gen-Z boost, as his 2008 track “Maui Wowie” has exploded on TikTok and received a boost on streaming platforms like Spotify.

The “Maui Wowie” challenge has taken off in recent weeks, which was seemingly started by TikTok user @aaronxbrownn, who hung off a crosswalk street sign while rapping along, “Going back to Honolulu just to get that/ That Maui Wowie, that Maui Wowie.”

Thousands have participated in the challenge, hanging from various street signs and traffic lights, and Kid Cudi joined in on the trend himself earlier this week.

“Yeeaaaaaaaaa Thank u to everyone for posting my song and havin fun and showing love!!! 17 years old and timeless,” he captioned the clip, which finds him in front of Progressive Field in his hometown of Cleveland.

“Kid cudi so tuff he participates in his own trend,” one fan commented.

“Maui Wowie” landed on Cudi’s A Kid Named Cudi debut mixtape, which arrived in July 2008. The breezy track is produced by Plain Pat, and its revival has even found a way to the charts.

The track debuted at No. 24 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and the ode to smoking hit No. 2 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.

Fans shouldn’t expect much new music from Cudi, as he announced his plans to step away and pursue other creative endeavors following the release of “Once.” “It’s gonna be a while between now and the next Kid Cudi album,” he said. “So I wanted to leave you with a little something that could motivate you, uplift you… I made it earlier this year, just f—ing around in the studio.”
