On April 25, MusiCares will host The Day That Music Cares, an annual worldwide day of service. Now in its third year, the initiative invites everyone in the music community — both people who work in music and music fans — to give back in ways that feel meaningful to them. Last year, more than 2,500 people participated, according to MusiCares, which says the day “is about showing up for your local community and reconnecting through acts of service.”    

This initiative was first inspired by the 2023 advisory from then-U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, which named loneliness and isolation a public health crisis.

MusiCares has created a site which provides more information, including a sign-up form, suggestions for service (including virtual service opportunities, such as writing letters to seniors), and even a sample draft of a “time-off request” to send to your boss seeking to take the day off for a day of service.

The site also has some FAQ that shed light on the initiative. Some highlights:

What if I can’t volunteer on April 25, but I can the next day or another time that week?

That works! While April 25 is The Day That Music Cares, participating on a different day during that week still counts and every act of service makes a difference.

Do I have to do something music-related?

No, on The Day That Music Cares, you are encouraged to volunteer for any cause that is close to your heart.

What if I can’t find a volunteer opportunity that takes place in my area on the website?

You don’t have to choose a volunteer activity from the website to take part in The Day That Music Cares — any act of service counts!

If you thought Morgan Wallen had a lot of songs on his last album — the 19-week Billboard 200 chart-topper One Thing at a Time — the country superstar is ready to do you one better on his upcoming fourth album I’m the Problem.

Wallen unveiled the 37-song track list for I’m the Problem on Wednesday (April 16) — one more track than on his blockbuster 36-song project One Thing at a Time in 2023. He also revealed the much-debated featured artists on the album, including his first duet with a woman, “What I Want,” with Canadian pop star Tate McRae.

He also has repeat collaborations on the project with Post Malone (“I Ain’t Comin’ Back”), Eric Church (“Number 3 and Number 7”), HARDY (“Come Back as a Redneck”) and ERNEST (“The Dealer”).

Wallen co-wrote 22 songs on the project, which is set to arrive May 16 via Big Loud / Mercury. The project has been preceded by five songs so far, with “Lies Lies Lies” arriving in July; “Love Somebody” out in October, and debuting atop the Billboard Hot 100; “Smile” released on New Year’s Eve; the title track (also the album opener) coming in January and landing at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs; and “Just in Case” arriving in March. Next up, the Post Malone collab “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” is set for release on Friday, less than a month before the full album.

The I’m the Problem Tour will kick off June 20 at Houston’s NRG Stadium, wrapping up in September with four dates in Canada.

It’s been exactly six months since the world was left stunned by the sudden death of Liam Payne, and his sister is marking the occasion with an emotional tribute posted to Instagram on Wednesday (April 16).

In black text over a white background, Ruth Gibbins — the late One Direction star’s older sister — began the letter by saying, “6 months, half a year without you?!”

“My head is still screaming for you,” she continued. “Each morning on waking, I feel like I am plunged underwater, gasping for air that never comes to relieve me. Living without you is impossible, so for now, I exist. I’m learning to laugh or smile in the right places, but mate, it’s exhausting when all I want to do is speak to you.”

Gibbins went on to say that she can sometimes hear her little brother “laughing at me walking around,” comparing his lingering presence to the 1990 film Ghost. “You’re always coming through in different ways to put me back on the right path,” she wrote.

Payne died at the age of 31 on Oct. 16, 2024, after suffering a fatal fall from a third-story hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. According to subsequent toxicology reports, the X Factor alum had several substances in his system and a nearly life-threatening blood-alcohol content at the time of his death.

In the days that followed, numerous family members, friends and colleagues — including each of Payne’s former 1D bandmates — shared statements remembering the musician. In a lengthy statement of her own posted Oct. 19, Gibbins wrote, “My brain is struggling to catch up with what’s happening, and I don’t understand where you’ve gone … I don’t feel this world was good enough or kind enough to you, and quite often over the last few years, you’ve had to really try hard to overcome all that was being aimed at you. You just wanted to be loved and to make people happy with your music.”

Six months later, Gibbins says she still “can’t process what’s happened and the finality of it. “You know I will never stop doing all I can for you,” she added in her Wednesday post. “I miss you loudly, quietly and in all the moments inbetween. Love you so much more than these words or my tears are capable of expressing but I know you know this. For now I’ll meet you in my dreams.”

Gibbins’ half-year commemoration comes a little over a month after Payne’s relatives issued a united statement slamming tabloid coverage of the star’s death. Calling out the “constant media attention and speculation” that ensued immediately after Payne suffered his fall, the family wrote that the press had “exacted indescribable, lasting damage on the family,” particularly the “Strip That Down” singer’s 7-year-old son, Bear.

“Liam ought to have had a long life ahead of him,” they added at the time. “Instead, [Payne’s son] Bear has lost his father, Geoff and Karen have lost their son, Ruth and Nicola have lost their brother and all of Liam’s friends and fans have lost someone they held very dear.”

Just a week after revealing that their forthcoming album will be taking an orchestral lean, prolific Australian collective King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have officially detailed their 27th album.

Set for release on June 13 via the band’s own (p)doom Records, new album Phantom Island is slated to be a stylistic change for the genre-defying rockers, with the ten-track album seeing them utilize orchestral arrangements for the first time.

Inspired by a meeting with members of Los Angeles Philharmonic while backstage at the Hollywood Bowl in June 2023, the sessions for King Gizzard’s 2024 album Flight b741 yielded an additional batch of tracks that needed “more time and space and thought” and additional “energy and colour,” guitarist and vocalist Stu Mackenzie claimed. 

With the LA Philharmonic in mind, Mackenzie reached out to friend, British historical keyboardist, conductor and arranger Chad Kelly, who brings a “wealth of musical awareness to his chameleon-like arrangements,” according to Mackenzie. “We come from such different worlds – he plays Mozart and Bach and uses the same harpsichords they did, and tunes them the exact same way. But he’s obsessed with microtonal music, too, and all this nerdy stuff like me.”

Kelly’s influence can be seen in lead single “Deadstick,” which pairs elaborate orchestrations and funky musicianship with a sprawling clip directed by Guy Tyzack. 

King Gizzard formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2010 and swiftly became one of the country’s most prolific groups, with both 2017 and 2022 seeing the band release five albums within the span of a year.

Despite their extensive output, the band have not yet topped the charts in their homeland (though they would hit No. 2 on four separate occasions). In the U.S., the band peaked at No. 64 on the Billboard 200 with 2019’s Infest the Rats’ Nest, while their voracious fanbase has also seen the majority of their releases chart on the Top Album Sales chart.

In January, King Gizzard were also listed on the lineup for the 2025 edition of Bonnaroo, performing three sets over three days as part of the inaugural ‘Roo Residency. This Residency coincides with the release of Phantom Island on June 13, and will be followed by a series of U.S. tour dates where the band will be joined by a different 29-piece orchestra in each city. 

Their U.S. run will also feature a standalone “Rock ‘n Roll Show” in New York on Aug. 2, and will wrap in Colorado later that month with the band’s own three-day Field of Vision festival.

When Post Malone released F-1 Trillion last year, he conquered yet another genre with the country collab album. And it looks like he’s going back to that well on his next project.

On the new Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are joined by Billboard deputy editor Lyndsey Havens to discuss Post’s Sunday headlining set at Coachella as well as Havens’ interview with the superstar in the desert about what’s next. Post told Lyndsey that he’s already made two trips to Nashville and that he and his collaborators “just have fun. We just sit and f—ing talk and make songs. And so I’m pretty excited for the new record already.”

Listen to our full conversation with Lyndsey below:

Also on the show, we’ve chart news on how Elton John and Brandi Carlile team up for a top 10 debut on the Billboard 200 with Who Believes In Angels?, how the vinyl release of a Ethel Cain’s 2022 album Preacher’s Daughter brings the set onto the Billboard 200 for the first time (and straight into the top 10), and how the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart gets shaken up by a couple of new arrivals to the region.

Plus, we continue our Coachella chat with a discussion around whether Green Day or Charli xcx should have headlined day 2, after Charli sported a “Miss Should Be Headliner” sash at an afterparty.
