The season three premiere of Celebrity Jeopardy! took an unexpected turn when all three contestants failed to identify Usher’s career-defining hit “Yeah!” during the Triple Jeopardy round.

The question, featured in the category “2004, What a Year!,” prompted contestants with, “We got so caught up in this Usher song that it spent 12 weeks at the top of the charts.”

Max Greenfield (New Girl) responded first, incorrectly guessing, “What is ‘Caught Up?’” – a different Usher track from 2005. Camilla Luddington (Grey’s Anatomy) then followed with the incorrect “What is ‘All Caught Up?’”.

W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America) chose not to respond, letting the timer expire. Bell later joked, “Feels so awkward to be the Black guy who doesn’t know the Usher song. I was listening to Rage Against the Machine at the time, sorry everybody.”

Released in January 2004, “Yeah!” was an instant cultural and commercial phenomenon. Featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, the single spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained on the chart for 45 weeks, becoming the longest-running No. 1 single of that year. It ranked No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Songs of the Decade (2000–2009), second only to Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together,” as the top song of that decade.

The track served as the lead single from Usher’s fourth studio album, Confessions, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over 10 million copies in the U.S., earning a diamond certification from the RIAA. “Yeah!” also won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards and garnered widespread critical acclaim for its fusion of crunk and R&B.

“Yeah!” achieved global success, topping charts in over 12 countries and earning platinum certifications in markets such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, and Norway. In Australia, the song was certified 5× platinum by ARIA for selling 350,000 units. In 2024, the track achieved a milestone when it was certified 13× platinum by the RIAA, reflecting 13 million units sold in the U.S.

Its resurgence in popularity was further fueled by Usher’s 2024 Super Bowl halftime show performance, which caused his overall Spotify streams to increase 550%. Specifically, “Yeah!” featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris saw a 520% streaming boost following the performance. The Super Bowl performance was the most-watched halftime show in history, drawing 129.3 million viewers.

Later in the Celebrity Jeopardy! game, Bell redeemed himself by correctly answering a question about N.W.A.’s historic chart achievements.

Teddy Swims and his partner, fellow musician Raiche Wright, have announced they are expecting their first child.

Wright shared the news on Jan. 8 via Instagram, posting a carousel of photos featuring the couple on a beach, her growing baby bump in full view. “We can’t wait to meet you, baby 🤍✨,” she captioned the post, which was quickly met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and peers alike.

Swims has often credited his relationship with Wright as a source of inspiration and stability during his rise to fame. In July, during an episode of The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Swims said of Wright, “She does what I do, which is great. Because it’s like maybe 3 a.m. and I’m calling her and she’s like ‘Yeah, yeah I’m in a session. I’m recording vocals.’ And I’m like, ‘Girl, yeah, handle your business, baby.’ ”

Wright, a singer-songwriter in her own right, is best known for her 2023 album Loveland. The couple went public with their relationship in early 2024, with Wright frequently joining Swims on tour and performing duets on stage.

The announcement caps off a banner year for Swims, whose soulful anthem “Lose Control” was crowned Billboard’s year-end 2024 Hot 100 Song of the Year.

The track achieved the longest climb to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a solo male artist, taking 32 weeks to reach the summit in March 2024. Spending over 30 weeks on the Hot 100 and dominating the Top 10 for an impressive 45 weeks, “Lose Control” solidified its place in music history. The song also achieved global success, reaching No. 1 in several countries and earning diamond certification in France.

The accolades don’t stop there. In addition to topping the Billboard Hot 100, “Lose Control” made history as the first song in nearly a decade to lead five airplay charts simultaneously: Radio Songs, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult Contemporary, and Adult R&B Airplay. Swims’ streaming numbers have been equally impressive, with “Lose Control” becoming one of the most-streamed tracks globally in 2023 and 2024.

Swims, born Jaten Dimsdale, first captured attention with viral YouTube covers in 2019 before releasing his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1), released in 2023. Supported by his I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy Tour, Swims sold over 150,000 headline tickets across North America, Europe, and other regions.

Over four years since the release of his last album, alternative rock veteran Bob Mould has announced the release of his newest record, Here We Go Crazy.

Set for release on March 7, Here We Go Crazy arrives as the 15th solo album for the prolific musician, who previously served as a member of Hüsker Dü and Sugar. Produced by Mould at Chicago’s Electrical Audio in early 2024, and mixed by longtime engineer Beau Sorenson, the record’s announcement comes accompanied by a Gus Black-directed music video for its title track.

“I’ve been spending time in the Southern California desert over the past few years, and the video was shot there,” Mould explained in a statement. “Chilly wilderness atop a mountain, expansive vistas below the hills, distant places to escape life’s routines. ’Going crazy’ can be many different things. The joy of reckless abandon, the uncertainty of the world’s future, the silence of solitude.”

“On the surface, this is a group of straightforward guitar pop songs. I’m refining my primary sound and style through simplicity, brevity, and clarity,” Mould continued. “Under the hood, there’s a number of contrasting themes. Control and chaos, hypervigilance and helplessness, uncertainly [sic] and unconditional love.”

Somewhat uncharacteristically, Mould also shared a follow-up statement via social media where he simplified the standard jargon utilized in his media release.

“In the Hullabaloo Speak of press releases, I talk about refining my core sound,” he explained. “In Bob English: Give the people what they want. I spent the majority of the last three years touring the world, test driving some of these new songs, and talking with many of you after the Solo shows. I have a pretty good sense of what you enjoy in my work.”

“It’s loud guitars, catchy melodies, and the team (Jon, Jason, Beau) you know and love. It’s an intimate look into my current perspectives on life, love, and how we make it through the world one day at a time. It’s a Bob Mould album.”

The record’s release will also be accompanied by 26-date U.S. tour throughout April and May which will see Mould joined by his longtime bandmates Jon Wurster and Jason Narducy.

Mark O’Connell, the longtime drummer of Long Island-based emo ensemble Taking Back Sunday, has announced his departure from the group after almost 25 years of membership.

O’Connell detailed his exit from the group in a lengthy post shared on social media, telling his followers that “after nearly 25 years as the drummer of Taking Back Sunday, I want to confirm that I am no longer with the band”.

Via his account (which still reads @markoconnelltbs), O’Connell reflected on his time within the band and thanked fans for being the “heartbeat” of Taking Back Sunday and “a huge part” of his life for almost a quarter of a century. “I owe it all to you,” he wrote.

“My departure wasn’t an easy decision, and it wasn’t entirely my own,” he continued. “Over the past few years, l’ve focused on my family and personal growth, including committing to my sobriety. Unfortunately, during this time, I didn’t always feel the support I needed from those I thought of as brothers, and creative differences made it hard to move forward together.”

News of O’Connell’s departure also coincides with the release of his first piece of solo music, with his “Brain Dead” single being released on Dec. 31. Per his statement, O’Connell will be releasing more music in the near future.

“I’m excited to share that I’ll be releasing new music soon-both as a solo artist and with some old friends,” he explained. I’ve poured my heart into this project, and I can’t wait to share it with you. This is a new chapter for me-one of passion, creativity, and hope. I hope you’ll join me on this journey as we continue to be a part of each other’s stories.

“That said, I’m grateful for the incredible memories with each of my bandmates-and all of you, as well as all the opportunities along the way,” he continued. “I’m choosing to focus on the good as l move into this next chapter.

“Thank you again for everything. I’m proud of what we built together, and I’m even more excited about what lies ahead.”

Taking Back Sunday formed in 1999, but experienced a number of lineup changes in its initial years, including the departure of future Brand New frontman Jesse Lacy in 2000. The following year, founding drummer Steven DeJoseph would leave due personal issues preventing widespread touring, with O’Connell taking his place. That same year would also see founding vocalist Antonio Longo replaced by Adam Lazzara.

In 2018, founding guitarist Eddie Reyes announced he would be leaving the band, with a statement from the group citing “personal reasons” for his exit. Currently, only guitarist John Nolan (who left in 2003 to form Straylight Run before his 2010 return) remains from the band’s original lineup.

As the Southern California wildfires continue to rage and the losses begin to be tallied, human accounts of the disaster are coming in thick and fast, with Paris Hilton one of the many affected to share their own accounts.

Hilton took to social media on Wednesday (Jan. 8) to reflect on the heartbreak of learning of the destruction of her home via news broadcasts of the event.

“Heartbroken beyond words,” Hilton wrote. “Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience. This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London.

“While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe. My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires. To all the people who have lost their homes, their memories, and their beloved pets. My heartaches for those still in harm’s way or mourning greater losses. The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking.”

Continuing her post, Hilton explained that her 11:11 Media Impact team (the charitable division of her 11:11 Media company) have been contacting nonprofit organizations to find ways to support the communities that have been impacted by the devastation of the blaze. “We’re committed to offering help as soon as possible and making a meaningful difference for those who need it most.”

“To the brave firefighters and first responders risking their lives to protect us—you are true heroes,” she continued. “I am so grateful for your courage, dedication, and the incredible sacrifices you’re making to save lives and fight this unimaginable battle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Closing her post, Hilton urged those within the vicinity to remain safe and to follow evacuation orders as necessary.

“Let’s protect one another and hold onto hope that these fires will soon be contained,” she continued. “Sending so much love and strength to all of you. We’re in this together, LA. Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight. You never know when everything could change.”

As multiple devastating wildfires continue to spread through the greater Los Angeles region, music and music-related events — including several tied to the current film awards season in the city — are being canceled or postponed out of both safety concerns and respect for the unfolding situation.

As postponement and cancellation announcements continue to come through, we’re keeping track with the updating list below. (These are listed in descending order of announcement, so you can find the latest cancellations at the top.)

Ariana Grande is no stranger to the law of attraction, as she points out in her song “Just Like Magic” and as seen in a 2011 tweet in which she predicted she’d portray Glinda in Wicked one day.

Before Grande was honored at the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala on Tuesday night (Jan. 7), she spoke to Entertainment Tonight on the carpet, where the reporter pointed out that her pink structured gown and ponytail and bangs combo are reminiscent of something Audrey Hepburn might wear.

“I love the 50s, 60s glamour, that’s just kind of my favorite — Marilyn, Audrey, it’s just my favorite,” Grande replied. When she was asked if she’s in the process of “manifesting” a role as the late Breakfast at Tiffany’s icon, the “Yes, And?” singer seemed surprised.

“That would have to be done so well and so perfectly,” she noted of a potential biopic role, and told the reporter that she’s “very kind” for making the comparison.

While rumors about a biopic have been swirling for years, there has yet to be any significant movement in the project. Actress Rooney Mara was most recently lined up to portray Hepburn in a Luca Guadagnino-helmed production, though she shared earlier this year that the director is no longer part of the film. Lily Collins was also reportedly suggested for the role, due to her uncanny resemblance to the late film and fashion icon.
