Billie Eilish has taken part in Amazon Music’s docu-performance series, Songline, this week, delivering a live version of her Hit Me Hard and Soft standout ballad, “Skinny.”
“People say I look happy/ Just because I got skinny/ But the old me is still me and maybe the real me/ And I think she’s pretty,” she effortlessly sings in the heart-wrenching chorus, accompanied in the video by her brother Finneas on guitar as well as a circle of orchestral instrumentalists.
Eilish has been open about her struggles with body image over the years, in a 2020 interview with British GQ, explaining, “I have never felt desired. My past boyfriends never made me feel desired. None of them, and it’s a big thing in my life that I have never been physically desired by somebody.”
She added that she often wear’s baggy, oversized clothes for that reason. “I dress as I don’t like to think of you guys — I mean anyone, everyone, judging it, or the size of it, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t wake up one day and decide to wear a tank top, which I have done before.”
“Skinny” appeared on the multi-Grammy winner’s third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which arrived in May. Upon release, the album soared to No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart, and featured additional hits like “Lunch,” “Wildflower” and “Birds of a Feather.”

TMZwas the first to report the news as the publication cited Nelson suffering from complications related to a lung cancer diagnosis and passed away in St. Joseph, Mo.
As the oldest of five children, Nelson gave birth to a future rap phenom in Marshall Mathers III on Oct. 17, 1972 as just a teenager. Eminem and his mother’s relationship had been complicated and turbulent over the years. He had no issue incorporating parts of their relationship into his music, referencing Nelson on tracks such as “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” “My Name Is” and more.
Nelson even sued Em for defamation in 1999 seeking $11 million. PerABC News, a judge ruled in her favor but for only $25,000 and she profited less than that after legal fees.
“One of the things that I said and that I realized is, I mean at the end of the day, she’s my mother and I love her, because she’s mother,” Em said on BET’s 106 & Park in 2009. “I mean, even though we don’t really speak, she is my mother. I do love her and I think I got a better understanding of what she was going through or what she may be going through, now that I see myself and how I actually became. I think that’s there a little compassion factor that goes with that.”
Over the years, Em began to understand what his mother was going through and he brought that to his music when extending an olive branch and expressing regret for how he handled certain things and apologized to Nelson on “Headlights” in 2013.
In more recent times, things appeared to be going better between the two. Nelson publicly showed her son some love on Eminem’s induction day into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. “Marshall, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction to the Hall of Fame,” she said in a video. “I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. And it’s been a long ride.”
Here are 10 songs Eminem made touching on his relationship with his mother below.

Chris Brown Earns His First Diamond-Certified Record With ‘No Guidance…
“Residuals” ascends from the runner-up spot after a 4% gain in weekly plays. As the track rises, it knocks GloRilla’s “TGIF” to No. 2 after the latter completed a 10-week nonconsecutive reign, including the last nine straight frames. The new champ is Brown’s second chart-topper on the radio ranking in 2024, after “Sensational,” featuring Davido and Lojay, ruled for one week in March.
With a 20th No. 1, Brown matches Lil Wayne’s career count for the second-most among all acts since the chart began in 1992. The pair trail only Drake, who sits in first place with 46 leaders. Here’s a recap of the artists with the most No. 1s on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay:
46, Drake 20, Chris Brown 20, Lil Wayne 17, Usher 13, Beyoncé
“Residuals” appears on the deluxe edition of Brown’s latest studio album, 11:11, and became a fan favorite, with many clips shared of Brown performing the track during spring and summer tour stops. Rising attention sparked its debut on the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart in April before its official push to radio began in mid-August. The single received a Grammy Award nomination for the upcoming ceremony for best R&B performance.
Brown first topped Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay when he and Johnta Austin featured on Bow Wow’s “Shortie Like Mine” on the Dec. 9, 2006, chart. His first champ in a lead role came exactly a year later – on the Dec. 8, 2007, ranking – when “Kiss Kiss,” featuring T-Pain, captured the summit.

My Chemical Romance have spoken out following the death of their former drummer, Bob Bryar, who died at the age of 44.
Bryar was found deceased in his Tennessee home on Nov. 26, with authorities confirming no foul play was suspected.
Sharing a post to Instagram, the band wrote, “It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Bob Bryar, our former bandmate and an important part of the history of My Chemical Romance. We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family at this time. May he rest in peace.”
Bryar joined My Chemical Romance in 2004, replacing founding drummer Matt Pelissier shortly after the release of the band’s sophomore album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. At the time, Bryar was working as a sound engineer for The Used when his path crossed with the New Jersey rockers. His arrival marked the beginning of a defining period for the band.
Bryar became a cornerstone of My Chemical Romance’s evolution, contributing to their 2006 opus The Black Parade. Widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of the 2000s emo-punk movement, The Black Parade debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and included fan-favorite tracks like “Welcome to the Black Parade” and “Famous Last Words.”
He was also involved in the writing of the group’s 2010 release, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, but left the band before its release.
In addition to his work on The Black Parade, Bryar contributed to the songwriting process for My Chemical Romance’s 2013 compilation album Conventional Weapons, even after he left the band in 2010.
His departure was described at the time as a difficult but mutual decision. “This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly,” guitarist Frank Iero wrote in a statement. “We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
After departing from My Chemical Romance, Bryar retired from music and became a real estate agent, according to TMZ. He also devoted much of his time to dog rescue charities and sanctuaries.
My Chemical Romance recently announced a series of 2025 stadium shows where they will perform The Black Parade in full. Bryar was not scheduled to appear at any of the performances. The 10-city tour will launch on July 11, 2025, in Seattle.

One year on from their final live appearance, New York rock outfit Kiss have celebrated the anniversary of their split with a new video recap of their last show.
The final performance – which took place on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023 – saw the veteran group return to New York City’s Madison Square Garden for the final date of their protracted End of the Road farewell tour.
“One year ago, today – December 2, 2023 – The last KISS Tour ever reached The End Of The Road with one final epic performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City!” the group wrote on social medoa. “Re-live the magic of that night with this awesome MSG concert recap.”
Across 23 tracks, the band waved goodbye to their legions of fans with a fitting set full of their famous hits and live favorites – complete with their trademark stage spectacle. The concert was also streamed live via PPV.COM, and now Kiss have shared a new video capturing footage of the band before the 20,000-strong crowd.
Notably, Kiss’ final show was accompanied by the news that the group intend to live on as digital avatars after their split. The band made the surprise announcement at the end of the show, with vocalist/guitarist Paul Stanley telling fans “your love, your power, has made us immortal”.
“The new Kiss era stars now!” he added.
Kiss’ avatars were created by George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic, in partnership with Sweden’s Pophouse Entertainment Group, according to the Associated Press. The companies previously collaborated on the ABBA Voyage show in London, a virtual concert performed by the Swedish pop group.
“Kiss could have a concert in three cities in the same night across three different continents. That’s what you could do with this,” Pophouse CEO told the AP.
Though specifics were not made clear at the time, the band announced only weeks later that their digital appearances would kick off in 2027. ““It’s a must-see, go-to experience,” Stanley toldBillboard’s Behind the Setlist podcast this year. “It’s beyond anything that anyone else has contemplated.”
“We’re creating something that’s not a concert,” he added. “The idea of a hologram — and it’s not a hologram, but that term seems to get thrown around a lot — but the idea a simulated concert is not what we want to do. Frankly, I would find that boring.”

The vocalist of Kentucky hardcore punk outfit Knocked Loose has responded to the viral criticism that arrived following the band’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Knocked Loose appeared on the late-night ABC program on Tuesday (Nov. 26), performing in support of their third album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To. Despite the record achieving considerable success by topping the Top Hard Rock Albums chart and peaking at No. 23 on the Billboard 200, the band’s debut on the program attracted noted attention from critics in the aftermath.
Given the band’s status as arguably the heaviest band to appear on Kimmel, publications such as The Mirror claimed that some fans took to social media to criticize their performance – which included the likes of the Poppy-featuring “Suffocate”.
“You know I was trying to enjoy the program,” one viral comment read. “I was sitting on the couch with my son who is an ADOLESCENT waiting to see the musical guest because we like the nice music the show usually books.
“By the third or fourth ‘JUNT’ from the guitars my son was in tears. He doesn’t like scary things and quite frankly I think the Kimmel show and its staff should make a formal apology.”
Having attracted ridicule from the punk community and the band’s fanbase, vocalist Bryan Garris has now responded to the group’s appearance, reflecting on the enormity of the experience and how the group have evolved to such a point.
“For a long time now our goal has been to see how far we could squeeze this band into places where we don’t fit and I think this may be the biggest one. National television,” Garris wrote. “It feels like the ceiling gets higher for EVERYONE, every single day. We celebrate this together. Thank you so much.
“Walking down the hallway as we were escorted to stage Im looking to my left and right and seeing photos of all the celebrities that have been on the show over the years,” he added. “Presidents, actors, musicians etc. I leaned over to [Isaac Hale, guitarist] and said ‘this started in your garage”’ He grabbed onto me and squeezed as hard as he could. That’s a moment I’ll never forget.”
Closing out his post, Garris offered a quick quip to those who had responded negatively to the band’s performance, simply adding, “PS if it scared you, good.”
Speaking to Billboard earlier this year, Garris admitted that the group’s continual and unexpected rise isn’t something Knocked Loose are taking for granted. “Every time we headline,” he mused, “it’s like, Where can we take it now? What’s the next step?”

‘Wicked’ Soundtrack Tops Multiple Billboard Charts, Makes Historic Start on…
The Broadway show, which opened in New York in October 2003, launched with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel in the lead roles of Glinda and Elphaba (played by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the film).
Wicked is just the seventh musical cast album to reach the top 40 of the Billboard 200 in the last 25 years, following Bruce Springsteen’s solo show Springsteen on Broadway (2018) and the original Broadway cast recordings of Dear Evan Hansen (2017), Hamilton: An American Musical (2015), If/Then (2014), The Book of Mormon (2011) and Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2008).
The new Wicked film opened in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22 and has earned more than $260 million at the U.S. and Canada box office. Its soundtrack debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, marking the highest debut for a soundtrack of a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical.
In the tracking week ending Nov. 28, as reflected on the Dec. 7-dated Billboard 200 chart, the Wicked Broadway cast recording earned 22,000 equivalent album units (up 60%) while the Wicked film soundtrack starts with 139,000 units.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Dec. 7, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
The original Broadway cast recording of Wicked had previously peaked at No. 66 on the Billboard 200 in March of 2014. Chenoweth and Menzel starred in the Broadway show from its opening through July 2004 and January 2005, respectively. Wicked has continued to play on Broadway since its premiere in 2003, and with more than 8,100 performances, it is the fourth-longest running show in Broadway history.
The original Broadway cast recording of Wicked also spends a 350th nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Cast Albums chart, which ranks the week’s top-selling musical stage show albums. Wicked has the second-most weeks at No. 1 on Cast Albums since the list began in January of 2006. The original Broadway cast recording of Hamilton: An American Musical leads the pack with 411 weeks at No. 1.
The Wicked cast album also debuts on the Top Streaming Albums chart at No. 38, where the Wicked movie soundtrack debuts at No. 4.
