Dave East and DreamDoll have plenty of experience in the strip club. The Harlem rapper has been making it rain for over a decade and Dream was a bartender — Startender — at famed NYC strippy Starlets.

The pair of New York natives joined Billboard‘s Delisa Shannon and Michael Saponara for an episode of Billboard Unfiltered Live on Wednesday (Nov. 19) to debate the top five strip club anthems of all time.

DreamDoll went with Future’s “Commas,” Juicy J’s “Bandz a Make Her Dance,” Travis Porter’s “Make It Rain,” Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up” and Waka Flocka Flame’s “No Hands” featuring Wale and Roscoe Dash.

She also touched on her strip-club lore, which finds her name engraved on the Booby Trap on the River club in Miami. “Y’all look up at the top — it says my name is up there because Booby Trap on the River $100,000 racks thrown — me and Rick Ross,” she said.

As for Dave East, he picked Akinyele’s “Put It in Your Mouth,” Juicy J’s “Bandz a Make Her Dance,” Future’s “March Madness,” Gucci Mane’s “Freaky Gurl” and Pop Smoke’s “Welcome to the Party.”

“I be in the strip club — I’m guilty,” East joked. “I been in there a long time. I feel like this right here, Akinyele, that’s before I was in the club, but the rest of them, I been in the spot to see what they do.”

Saponara showed love to Tyga’s “Make It Nasty,” Lil Wayne and Young Money’s “Every Girl,” Future’s “March Madness,” T-Pain’s “Im N Luv (Wit a Stripper)” and Waka Flocka Flame’s “No Hands.”

After surveying the crowd’s reaction, DreamDoll ended up being crowned the champion for her list of top five strip club anthems.

Billboard launched its first Atlanta strip club chart over the summer and will continue to update it monthly. Watch the full episode above.

New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week’s picks below.

CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, “GIMME MORE” (5020 Records)

After shocking onlookers with their steamy (violent?) kiss in the media room after winning five 2025 Latin Grammys, the Argentine outlandish duo return with “Gimme More” — a three-minute funky electropop track brimming with hedonism and existential dread. Over quirky synth keys that sound ripped straight from Mario Bros., they grapple with the hollowness of endless desire: “La mujer de mi vida no me sirve más, quiero más.” Three-quarters in, the song takes a cheeky turn with a Cuban son-like sample, underscoring their relentless quest for “more” — love, wealth, pleasure — and how none of it satisfies. The accompanying video matches the chaos, with the pair wreaking havoc in Las Vegas: they take shots out of their trophies, hit strip clubs, shoot at ranges and gamble with feral energy. — ISABELA RAYGOZA

Tainy & Karol G, “Única” (NEON16/Republic Records)

After working together on songs such as “Mañana Será Bonito” and “Tropicoqueta,” Tainy and Karol G join forces once again in “Única.” Sonically, the track laces enchanting string instruments, such as the harp, and synthetic reggaetón sounds, evoking feelings of remembrance and melancholy. Backed by Karol G’s dreamy vocals, the nostalgic lyrics express a strong connection and feelings of missing someone with whom special moments were shared, and describe how certain scents can spark these memories, regardless of the distance. “You’ll remember that night with me was unique/ Your mouth kissing me all over in a unique way/ So many people in the world and that night I was the only one/ We gave it our all knowing I was going to be the only one,” the Colombian star weeps. — INGRID FAJARDO

Sebastián Yatra & Xavi, “LA FKN VIBRA” (Universal Music Latino)

There’s something about Xavi doing reggaetón music that just makes sense—and “LA FKN VIBRA” is proof of that. For his new single, Sebastian Yatra teams up with the Música Mexicana sensation on a hard-hitting and captivating reggaetón track with subtle Regional Mexican requintos co-produced by Manuel Lara and Andy Clay. On the track—which can easily be an end-of-year party anthem or gearing us for summer 2026—Yatra and Xavi sing about “the f–king vibe” that only those who know how to live life to the fullest can understand. “We’re ready to have a blast, to hang out/Tonight I’m gonna steal the prettiest girl of them all,” they chant in the flirtatious chorus. — JESSICA ROIZ

Peso Pluma & Tito Double P, “intro” (Double P Records)

Peso Pluma and Tito Double P had for months hinted at an upcoming joint project, and “intro” seems like the perfect set up for the highly-anticipated reunion between the two cousins — who’ve already proven that big things happen when they team up. Peso and Tito unleash a riveting corrido — rooted in their horns-heavy signature corrido sound that catapulted them to stardom in the first place —  that presents the pair as a dynasty. At the top of the music video, starring Mexican star Kate del Castillo, says, “They are not enemies, they are reflections, two halves that cannot exist without the other … in every dynasty, the power isn’t in just one, it’s in the union.” Peso and Tito go on to sing about a shared hustle, rising individually and also together.  — GRISELDA FLORES

Carolina Ross & Denise Gutiérrez, “El Target” (FONO/Universal Music México)

Carolina Ross presents this new single as another preview of her upcoming album, accompanied by mariachi. The combination of these two voices with very different styles is quite interesting. Over violins that lend elegance and touches of sierreño, Denisse Gutiérrez, vocalist of the rock band Hello Seahorse!, infuses the feeling a ranchera requires from a contemporary perspective. “You don’t give to me, you only take from me/ That love weakens me/ In short, you always aim to kill/ I’m the target, I have to get out of your way,” says part of the song, which speaks of the complexity of love and how, sometimes, wounds become lessons. It’s a solid collaboration between two great talents who represent female power in Mexican music. — TERE AGUILERA

Codiciado & Carín León, “Déjame Dormir” (CodiRecords)

Codiciado and Carín León, two of the most recognizable and influential contemporary voices in Mexican music, join forces on this emotional ballad about heartbreak. Driven by guitars, metals and potent female backing vocals, and fused with rhythms like blues and R&B, “Déjame Dormir” is a plea to end a relationship that can no longer continue: “It wasn’t you, it was me/ Who was tired, fed up with this relationship/ Please, my love… And if you’re so tired and you feel like it/ Close the curtains, I beg you, and let me sleep,” say part of the lyrics. The track is a preview of Codiciado’s upcoming album, Así Es La Vida, slated for release in early 2026. It’s a powerful collaboration you’ll easily have on repeat.  — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS

León Larregui, “Cometas” (Universal Music México)

As Zoé prepares to take their MEMOREX + RESEXEX + MÁS 2026 tour to the U.S., its lead singer León Larregui presents “Cometas,” the first single from his fourth solo album. Weeks ago, he shared an unfinished, preliminary version of the song with his fans. Now, completely mixed and mastered, the track reaffirms the social and political stance the Mexican singer has displayed for years in his role as an artist. This urgent and conscious track emerges as an act of resistance in the face of the current complex geopolitical landscape. Built on an electroacoustic foundation with fingerpicked guitars and synthesizers, it creates a dramatic and immersive atmosphere. “The resistance of the people against frivolity/ Resilience is an olive tree,” Larregui sings reflectively. The single’s cover art is a clear reference to the work of artist and activist Banksy, featuring an image of a child flying a kite in the colors of the Palestinian flag and the distinctive lettering used by the British artist on his graffitis.  — NATALIA CANO

Justin Bieber helping you out after your car breaks down? Never say never.

That exact situation just happened to an artist who goes by Buku Music on TikTok, as captured in a recent video shared to the platform. In the clip, the user sits on the side of the road, looking hopeless after the car he was driving stopped working. All of a sudden, a different car pulls over, leaving Buku looking perplexed.

“I might be tripping, but I think that Justin Bieber just stopped to help me,” he says, still filming himself. “Are you Justin Bieber?”

The Canadian pop star then appears in front of the camera, giving Buku a hug. “Yeah, what’s up, bro? Love you, too, yes sir,” Bieber says before assessing the situation. “What happened?”

“Do you really want to know? My life is f–ked, bro,” Buku replies, laughing.

The content creator then cuts the camera before checking back in to update viewers on what happened next. Apparently, the Grammy winner led him in a healing prayer that set Buku’s mind at ease.

Fans in the comments were just as blown away by the twist of fate as Buku. “God literally sent you Justin Bieber,” one person wrote, while another replied, “Is Justin Bieber your fairy godmother?”

Billboard has reached out to Bieber’s reps for comment.

The act of kindness on the musician’s part reflects the family values he shared on Instagram in September. In a photo he posted of the framed “Bieber Family” guidelines he has displayed in his home for himself, Hailey Bieber and their 1-year-old son, Jack Blues, one of the listed tenets was “We value Generosity and graciously giving time, money and respect to people on our path.”

In addition to helping the occasional distressed driver, Justin has been hard at work these days preparing for his 2026 Coachella headlining set. To do so, he’s been holing up in a warehouse with his band and creative team, capturing his rehearsals in hours-long Twitch livestreams.

The singer is also fresh off of receiving numerous Grammy nominations for his work this past year. In addition to Swag earning nods for both album of the year and best pop vocal album earlier in November, his hit song “Daisies” is up for best pop solo performance, while “Yukon” is in competition for best R&B performance.

On Nov. 21, 2008, Twilight, based on the book of the same name by Stephenie Meyer, debuted in theaters. The vampire-meets-high-school-girl love story went on to earn $69.6 million in its first weekend, for a total domestic haul of $195 million during its run in theaters, including a 2010 and 2025 re-release. (It made a worldwide total of $392 million, according to Box Office Mojo).

Not only did the film launch the careers of many now-superstar actors – Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart – as well as four more box office juggernauts with its sequels The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, it played a crucial role when it came to the importance of music in film.

The Twilight: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featured a variety of talents that perfectly captured the essence and mood of the plot. With its authentic selection of tracks, including a handful of originals from bands such as Paramore, the film more or less treated the music as a character.

Indeed, the soundtrack debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, positioning future Twilight films as a place where artists wanted to contribute. Florence + The Machine, Death Cab for Cutie and Bruno Mars are among the musicians who would later provide tracks for future albums. And The Twilight Saga: New Moon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack also hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in its second week.

In celebration of the Twilight movie’s November anniversary, here are seven iconic music moments that prove the film has one of the best soundtracks to date.

Grupo Frontera talks about the group’s Grammy nomination and announces its Latin American tour.

Grupo Frontera: We’ve been talking about surprises, and some might include special concerts with special guests. Each song has its own magic, which makes the experience special in different ways. For example, “Hecha Pa’ Mí” holds a personal significance for me because I’m nominated as a composer for that song. It was an amazing experience writing it in Miami with Edgar Barrera, Alex Hernández and Ivan Gamez. On the other hand, “Me Jalo” was something completely out of this world for us. When we recorded songs like “Bebe Dame” and “911″ with Fuerza Regida, we had considered doing another collaboration, but never imagined it would turn out as spectacular as “Me Jalo,” which still continues to pull in listeners.

Interviewer: Meanwhile, your EPs Mala Mía and Lo Que Viene are both nominated for best música mexicana album at the Grammys. How did you feel about both projects being nominated?

It’s an incredible honor and feels surreal that both projects are in the same category — they couldn’t pick just one! I still remember when we found out about the nomination. We were in Nashville, just waking up, and we had missed about 10 calls from Edgar Barrera yelling, “You’re nominated, dude!” The excitement was palpable as we called everyone in the group to share the news. It was such a cool and memorable moment for us.

Speaking of new projects, I’d like to talk a little about your new album, Lo Que Me Falta Por Llorar. I’ve noticed how your collaborations have evolved over time. 

Early on, we often collaborated with big pop or reggaeton artists and brought them into our world by focusing on norteño, cumbia or tejano styles. But now, I think we’ve grown and are experimenting even more. For instance, when we collaborate with Myke Towers, we add some trap; when working with Manuel Turizo, we include some merengue. It’s no longer about sticking rigidly to one style — we’re exploring everything, and that’s been an exciting process.

Keep watching for more!

Festive music and movies are two sides of the same Christmas coin — both are absolutely crucial to fully celebrating the holiday season each year.

Some musicians have tried out both mediums, with credits on both X-mas songs and films. Sometimes, stars will appear as themselves, while others test out their acting chops as fictional characters. Many of those characters are also singers, but occasionally, musicians play people whose gifts are way different from theirs in real life.

There’s Mariah Carey, whose Christmas catalog — namely “All I Want For Christmas” — dominates charts and radio waves every December. But did you know she also once directed and starred in a project for the mother of all holiday TV movie networks, Hallmark? Dolly Parton, too, has been contributing to the Christmas carol canon for decades, but she’s also starred in a stocking-full of holiday films. As have artists from all genres and backgrounds — this list alone includes Ludacris, Whitney Houston, Steven Tyler, Willie Nelson and the Jonas Brothers.

As the days ’til Christmas count down, now’s the time to revisit some favorite classics or cue up something new, movie- and music-wise. And why not press play on something that crosses over both worlds? The season only comes around once a year, and these entertainers have proven they know how to make the most of it by stepping out of their comfort zones and trying something new for the holidays.

Keep reading to see 20 holly jolly movies in which musicians made cameos below:

Stray Kids put on a dance clinic in the cinematic video for the title track to their just-released five-song DO IT EP, the latest effort in their SKZ IT mixtape series. The visual opens with a scene of a grey, dystopian city in ruins, with thunder cracking and ominous black birds soaring over crumbling buildings overgrown with vegetation.

The scene then shifts to the inside of one of the dilapidated structures, revealing an army of figures dressed in white robes, their faces obscured by masks as rapper Changbin floats down from the ceiling on a souped-up flying broom, his outfit accented by a black cowboy hat and matching leather jacket.

He busts a rhyme as the rest of the eight-man boy band come into frame and singer Seungmin croons the song’s yearning refrain, “Oh baby trust our instincts/ Feel the rhythm of our bodies moving, baby/ Right this instant.” The mysterious figures in white remain frozen, scattered around the room in statue-like poses as the black-clad boy banders bust out some group chroeo, kicking the palette from black and white to full technicolor, bringing the dancers to life as singer Felix exhorts, “Do it, do it, do it, do it.”

The funky bilingual song continues shifting between rapping in South Korean and the English choruses, with members Han, Lee Know, Hyunjin, Bang Chan and I.N hopping in at various points with spotlight dance breaks and gang vocals. With hints of Harry Potter-like magic afoot, the clip zooms to a close with a glimpse of a giant fireball glowing inside the building as confetti rains down on the group during a final, all-hands on-deck dance routine.

The follow-up to August’s KARMA album — which landed the group their seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart — is the second in the band’s SKZ IT mixtape series and it features the title track (and a “Festival” version of same), as well as parallel single, “Divine,” and the tracks “Holiday” and “Photobook.”

It’s an SOS! Sabrina Carpenter “arrested” SZA at her Los Angeles show on Thursday night (Nov. 20). The New Jersey-bred singer pulled up to night four of six in L.A. on the final leg of the Short n’ Sweet Tour, and SC made SZA her Juno girl.

The Crypto.com Arena sirens went off and the crowd erupted when SZA appeared on the Jumbotron in a red corset top. “What’s your name, gorgeous?” Sabrina asked. “SZA, I got some competition, s—t.”

Carpenter had a laugh as the audience cheered loudly when SZA said she was from New Jersey. “They don’t always scream for their city, so I love that. OK, New Jersey,” she added.

With temperatures dropping, SC brought up that cuffing season was around the corner and referenced SZA’s 2022 album. “SZA, you know what they say — it’s cuffing season,” she said. “I’m getting flustered, oh s—t, SOS for real … This one’s for SZA, my Juno girl.”

Earlier this week, Carpenter threw the handcuffs on actresses Elle and Dakota Fanning and arrested the Hollywood sisters for committing the crime of being too attractive at Monday night’s (Nov. 16) show. “It’s like, one of you is cute, but two though? Damn,” SC said at the time.

The “Espresso” singer has arrested plenty of celebrities while on the road, including Drew Barrymore, Millie Bobby Brown, Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway and TWICE.

Sabrina’s Short n’ Sweet Tour is wrapping up after kicking off more than a year ago, with two final shows in Los Angeles on Saturday (Nov. 22) and Sunday (Nov. 23). Carpenter’s next performance is slated for the desert when she headlines Coachella 2026 in April.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are saying goodbye to Wicked, but they’ll always be changed for good by the franchise.

Related

On Friday (Nov. 21) — the day Wicked: For Good finally hit theaters worldwide — both leading ladies shared emotional posts marking the end of an era. On Instagram, Erivo began by sharing a carousel of photos of herself in her green Elphaba skin and witch hat on the set of the musical duology.

“I could write you an essay, a poem, Shakespearean prose, to describe what this journey has meant to me, what lessons this time has taught me, bought me,” the Tony winner wrote in her caption. “I could try to give a metric to the love I have felt and experienced. I could give a number to the stories I have heard.”

“The truth is the numbers are too small and the words are not enough,” she continued. “So I’ll simply say this. “Take my hand and walk with me to the end of this road paved with gold and hopefully, the things that I’ve found, might find you too. Thank you for letting me be your Elphaba.”

A few hours later, Grande shared her own roundup of photos from the Wicked set — complete with many pink items of clothing — and gushed about her love for her character in the project. “thank you, my sweet Glinda, for everything,” she wrote. “i will love you always … Wicked For Good is out now.”

It’s certainly an emotional day for both actresses and Wicked fans all over the world. The cast and crew spent years bringing the Broadway musical to life, with Erivo and the R.E.M. Beauty founder first landing the roles of Elphaba and Glinda, respectively, back in 2021. They’d spend the next two years or so rehearsing and shooting on set in London, wrapping in early 2024.

After finishing the films, the cast would take the world by storm with an almost inescapable press tour for the first Wicked, which premiered in November 2024 and shattered box-office records before winning Oscars for best costume and production design. Though the promo cycle for part two this year was far more lowkey, Erivo and Grande still spent much of the past month traveling all over the world for international Wicked: For Good screenings and red carpets in São Paulo, Paris, London and Singapore.

“We knew immediately that we were stepping into something that was quite special because it already has this beautiful legacy behind it,” Erivo told Seth Meyers on Thursday (Nov. 20) of herself and her castmates.

“i will never forget even a minute of my year(s) with [Glinda],” Grande wrote on Instagram last year. “Or you. or my Cyn. permanently and preferably intertwined.”
