When host Bad Bunny and musical guest Doja Cat take the stage at Studio 8H in New York for Saturday Night Live’s Season 51 opener on Saturday (Oct. 4), they’ll join a long and star-studded lineage. We took a look back to see who was booked as host and musical guest on the first episodes of every previous season of the show.

These are considered plum bookings: Viewers often make an extra effort to check out the first episode of a season. As a result, producers go all out to open the season with a strong episode. For SNL, that means booking a hot host and musical guest.

They have definitely done that this year. Bunny has topped the Billboard 200 with his last four albums, is the top nominee for this year’s Latin Grammys and was just announced as the musical performer on the 2026 Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Doja Cat just released her fifth studio album, Vie, which is, well, vying to become her fourth consecutive album to make the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

Legendary comedian George Carlin was host of the first episode on Oct. 11, 1975. There were two musical guests that night — Billy Preston and Janis Ian — both of whom had had big recent hits on the Billboard Hot 100.

Steve Martin has hosted four season-openers, more than anyone else. Tom Hanks is in second place, having hosted two season-openers.

Ye (formerly Kanye West) has been the musical guest on three season-openers, more than anyone else. The Rolling Stones and Miley Cyrus are the only performers who were both host and musical guest on a season-opener.

If you’re ready to go back in time, here are the hosts and musical guests on the first episode of every SNL season.

Songview, the song data platform first launched in 2020 by ASCAP and BMI, has entered a new era of expansion with SESAC and Global Music Rights (GMR) joining the family as partners. This integration brings together data from all four major U.S. performing rights organizations (PROs), providing a more comprehensive view of U.S. musical works. With the upcoming inclusion of SESAC and GMR’s catalogs, Songview will soon provide access to ownership and administration data for more than 38 million songs.

The platform was originally designed to address long-standing frustrations around fragmented and opaque copyright data. Pre-Songview, data-seekers could only search works registered with individual PROs, making it difficult to reconcile ownership across organizations. Built by a team of copyright and product experts — the system “took a village to build,” said ASCAP executive Nick Lehman at the time — Songview remedies this by bridging data across the PROs and displaying a green checkmark when all parties agree on the information. Users can access detailed metadata, including songwriter and publisher credits, alternate titles, performer names and industry-standard identifiers like ISWC and IPI.

The service is free and publicly accessible through ASCAP and BMI‘s websites.

With the addition of SESAC and GMR, Songview will now encompass all fully owned works from all four U.S. PROs, with data on jointly owned compositions to be added in the coming months, the organizations said. One of the platform’s most requested features — the display of publisher names for works shared between PROs — is slated for an upcoming update, while ownership percentages are expected in future releases. By consolidating data from the big four U.S. PROs into a single platform, Songview marks a major step forward in copyright transparency, industry collaboration and the modernization of music licensing.

The move has drawn praise from both lawmakers and industry leaders. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald of Wisconsin said “music ownership data has for years been fragmented and opaque” and lauded the effort as a “giant step towards transparency” that supports businesses in making informed licensing decisions. Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House IP subcommittee, emphasized that transparency in copyright is essential to both creator compensation and the ability of licensees to have the “predictability they need.”

The leaders of all four PROs echoed this sentiment. ASCAP CEO Elizabeth Matthews said the collaboration “provides more transparency to licensees into musical ownership data for the combined repertories of the most performed music in the world.” BMI president and CEO Mike O’Neill highlighted the goal of making Songview the industry’s single most comprehensive copyright database, calling it an example of “how we as an industry can successfully collaborate and deliver solutions that benefit the entire music community.” GMR CEO Randy Grimmett called the expansion “a major step in addressing the needs of licensees,” while SESAC chairman John Josephson underscored that the partnership delivers on requests from both licensees and Congress.

By entering the Billboard 200 at No. 1 this week, Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? joins a short list of chart-topping albums with titles that pose questions.

Some of these titles, like AM I THE DRAMA? and Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, include question marks. Others, like Olivia Newton-John’s Have You Never Been Mellow, do not. (The question mark is implied.) The title of one chart-topping album was simply a question mark. (I guess in that case the question was implied.)

Numerous classic albums with question-posing titles didn’t reach No. 1, which is why this list doesn’t include such albums as the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Are You Experienced? (No. 5 in 1967), Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On (No. 6 in 1971), Todd Rundgren’s Something/Anything? (No. 29 in 1972), Devo’s Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (No. 78 in 1978), Los Lobos’ How Will the Wolf Survive? (No. 47 in 1985), Mary J. Blige’s What’s the 411? (No. 6 in 1992) and Shakira’s Dónde Están los Ladrones? (No. 131 in 1998). (BTW, the English translation of Shakira’s title is Where Are the Thieves?)

One near-miss deserves mention. Luke Bryan reached No. 1 in 2017 with What Makes You Country, but listening to the title song’s lyrics again, it’s not intended as a question. Key lines: “Just be proud of what makes you country/Whatever makes you country.”

Here’s a complete list of albums that have topped the Billboard 200 (which originated on a consistent, weekly basis in March 1956) with titles that posed questions.

Dunkin’ Donuts has made some major moves this year, namely with its partnership with Sabrina Carpenter. Now, the coffee and donut company is trying its hand at fashion with the launch of its capsule collection with Urban Outfitters.

The limited-edition collection is an inventive one, remixing some of Urban Outfitters’ coziest apparel with bold Dunkin‘-themed graphics and colors sure to please all inspired by some of Dunkin’s greatest hits like their frosted donuts, hot and iced coffee and Carpenter-approved Refreshers. The capsule is as fresh as just-baked glazed donuts, having dropped today (Sept. 29) on National Coffee Day. How perfect, right?

Priced at $29 through $75, the collection features everything from hoodies, graphic tees and sweatshorts for men and women to exclusive Camp Snap cameras in iced coffee and sprinkled-donut prints. You can shop the collaborative collection right now at 17 Urban Outfitters locations and online at urbanoutfitters.com. With so much Urban Outfitters and Dunkin’ goodness to choose from, we’ve sifted through the collection and picked out a few of our favorites. We’ll be breaking down pricing, sizing and construction, giving you all the juicy details you need to know before adding to cart.

Urban Outfitters x Dunkin’ Bubble Hoodie

A black hoodie with Dunkin’ and Urban Outfitter’s co-branded on the front.


Each piece in this collection is cozy loungewear, something we can envision our readers wearing while kicking back on a lazy Sunday, munching on a sprinkle donut and washing it down with an iced coffee. First on our list of favorites is the Boatneck Tee for $29. The style is cropped with a plunging boatneckline and form-fit.

It comes in three colorways, pink, white and gray. The pink tee has a hot coffee graphic on the front atop the words “hot,” while the white tee is affixed with a chocolate frosted sprinkle donut graphic atop the word “frosted.” The gray tee has a graphic of a glazed donut, our personal favorite, on the front atop the word “glazed.” To style, we’d likely lean into the Y2K-esque vibes this piece gives by going low-rise on the bottoms.

Another winning piece in our book is the ever-cozy collaborative Bubble Hoodie for $59. The pull-over comes in black and a vibrant hot pink hue. No matter the colorway, the style comes equipped with a boxy silhouette and a cinched “bubble” hem that creates volume, unlike your standard hoodies. The hoodie is also equipped with Urban Outfitters and Dunkin’ co-branded detailing on the front in Dunkin’s signature hot pink and orange hue. If you’re looking for something more visually interesting than your basic hoodie, this piece might just be for you.

We can’t not mention the Graphic Tee for $39, a classic staple for any wardrobe upgraded with donut logo detailing affixed to the front. If you’re not keen on glazed donuts, the gray tee also comes in an alternative style with coffee on the front rather than the sweet confection. Both styles are boxy and short-sleeved, a perfect vehicle for stylish layering opportunities. The graphic tee also comes in white with alternative graphics, one with a Refresher, another with an iconic pink frosted sprinkle donut.

If you’re planning on chilling out and staying in during National Coffee Day this year, Urban Outfitters and Dunkin’s collaborative sweatshorts for $39 might be your best friend. The ultra-cozy piece comes in hot pink and black and pairs pretty perfectly with the Bubble Hoodie also in the collection. The piece features an elasticized waistband, side pockets and Dunkin’ branding on the backside, mirroring great sweat sets of the past from brands like Juicy Couture.

Urban Outfitters x Dunkin’ Camp Snap Camera

If you do plan on living it up on National Coffee Day, you capture the memories on one of the two styles of Camp Snap Cameras from this collection. Retailing for $75, the ordinary digital camera was transformed for this collaboration, coming adorned with iced coffee sprinkled donut prints that make the tech cute as can be. The point-and-shoot style captures vintage-esque pictures with vibrant color digital or printable photos. The battery on the camera is extremely long-lasting, capturing over 500 photos per charge. Plus, the camera’s petite size makes it easy to store and take with you wherever.

As far as collaborations go, Dunkin’ has been pretty busy. The brand has collaborated with Sabrina Carpenter two times thus far, once in 2024 and this year over the summer. The collaboration led to the release of two signature beverages, 2024’s Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and 2025’s Strawberry Daydream Refresher. As you can imagine, the collaboration was, and is, a massive hit.

Despite having a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and millions of fans, Kpop Demon Hunters girl group HUNTR/X has never performed live — until now.

Related

On Monday (Sept. 29), The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon announced that EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI — who provided the singing voices for Rumi, Mira and Zoey in the hit Netflix film — will take the Studio 6B stage on Oct. 7 for their first-ever live performance as a unit. According to a release, their song of choice will be “Golden,” which has spent six weeks so far at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The trio will also join Fallon on the couch for an interview. Jennifer Lopez is slated to guest as well on the Oct. 7 episode, which will air at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT.

The news comes about three months after Kpop Demon Hunters premiered on Netflix, quickly becoming a pop culture phenomenon. In addition to “Golden,” three songs from the film’s soundtrack — “How It’s Done,” “What It Sounds Like” and “Takedown” — have charted in the top 40 of the Hot 100. Kpop Demon Hunters is also the first soundtrack to top the U.S. albums chart since Encanto in 2022.

In a recent interview with Billboard, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI shared that they are still trying to process how successful their music for the film has become. The ladies also opened up about the possibility of a Kpop Demon Hunters sequel, which has not yet been announced despite how anxious fans are for it.

“The sequel has not been confirmed,” REI AMI said at the time. “We are, you know, looking forward, and we will know once we get that email.”

Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker will play a DJ set for the lauded electronic music event series Cercle as part of the rollout for the forthcoming Tame Impala album Deadbeat.

Related

The album is out via Sony Music on Oct. 17, with the Cercle set happening on Oct. 10 in a location near Mexico City.

While the exact location will be disclosed only to registered attendees, organizers assure “an immersive sonic and visual landscape, blending Tame Impala’s hypnotic soundscapes with Cercle’s signature cinematic production, turning the performance into a multi-sensory journey unlike any traditional concert,” according to a statement.

Access to this free event is extremely limited. Fans who are able to be in Mexico City for the show can pre-register for the chance for access here.

If you can’t be there in person, don’t fret. As with most all of Cercle’s performances, the Tame Impala DJ set will be recorded and released on Cercle Music’s YouTube channel on Oct. 28, 2025.

Conceived of and produced by Cercle, the event is an apt element of the Deadbeat rollout, given that the album is inspired by the “bush doof” rave culture of Parker’s native Western Australia. A previously released statement on the album notes that Deadbeat recasts Parker’s ongoing project as “a kind of future primitive rave act.” Three singles from the album, “End of Summer,” “Loser” and “Dracula,” have been released thus far.

“Bush doof” refers to the style of counterculture parties that have been happening in Western Australia since the early ’90s, with these events typically happening in remote places in nature and often featuring trance, psytrance and other electronic music subgenres. (The “doof” phrasing comes from the sound the kickdrum makes at such events.)

Cercle, meanwhile, launched in Paris in 2016 and has over the years hosted a long list of celebrated DJ sets from fantastical locations including the Eiffel Tower, a Bolivian salt flat and various mountaintops, castles and points beyond. Cercle also encompasses a record label and the recent Cercle Odyssey event series that brought immersive performances to Los Angeles, Mexico City and Paris.

Taylor Swift knows what excellence requires and is not afraid to demand it. Even if the one she’s insisting on it from is herself. In a jokey promo video posted on Monday morning (Sept. 28) to promote the upcoming Target-only The Life of a Showgirl: The Crowd Is Your King “summertime spritz pink shimmer” disc due out on Friday (Oct. 3).

Playing the role of director — which is not new for the award-winning singer — a suit-wearing Swift gives patient direction through a pink megaphone. “All right, we are still rolling, we’re gonna try again. Okay? We’re elegant, we’re luxurious, we’re in front of the most beautiful pink vinyl we’ve ever seen,” she says with enthusiasm before things turn grim in the clip captioned, “she’s got 4 days left to rehearse for her big moment… [laughing crying emoji].”

“What is going on with the posture?” Swift asks with growing exasperation at an unseen model. “It’s giving ‘no girl,’ not showgirl. What are we doing?,” Swift says as the camera spins to a scene of the singer in her glittery showgirl cover outfit standing in front of a giant version of the pink vinyl. To her director’s consternation, cover model Taylor listlessly tosses handfuls of glitter as director Swift implores, “Elegance! Charm!… Not that,” as the unsteady model Swift wobbles on her heels and fails to impress.

“She’s got cat hair all over her,” the director seethes. “Is there a school we could very quickly send her to?”

Swift announced the latest vinyl variant of her upcoming The Life of a Showgirl album last week, revealing that the store-exclusive variant will feature a collectible sleeve, a giant double-sided poster, an exclusive poem penned by Swift and special photos when it drops on Friday.

Mexican star Peso Pluma will be honored with the first Billboard Vanguard Award at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Thursday, Oct. 23, where the música mexicana hitmaker is also set to perform.

The Billboard Vanguard Award honors artists who “dare to go beyond the conventional,” according to a press release. It is a recognition of those who, through their talent, inspire, innovate and open new possibilities in the world of music. Furthermore, this award celebrates visionaries — artists who break barriers, redefine standards and leave an indelible mark on the music industry.

“Being honored with the first-ever Billboard Vanguard Award is an incredible privilege, because it means I get to represent my country on a global stage and showcase the immense talent and beauty that Mexico has to offer,” Peso Pluma said in a statement. “Leading the charge for a genre can feel like a lot of pressure, but it’s also my greatest pride. I carry my people, my roots, and my flag with me every step of the way, and I’m excited to keep revolutionizing music while showing the world the heart of Mexico. I’m deeply grateful to Billboard and Telemundo for this honor and for helping amplify our culture to audiences everywhere.”

The singer-songwriter from Jalisco, Mexico, known for hits like “Por Las Noches,” “PRC” and “AMG,” has overall scored 25 top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and 33 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Landing at No. 3 on Billboard‘s Top Latin Artists of 2024, Peso Pluma most recently made history as the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s (CFDA) first Mexican ambassador for New York Fashion Week. 

The 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards will take place at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, and will broadcast live on Telemundo and also stream on the Telemundo App and Peacock. Danny Ocean, Ozuna, Olga Tañón, Laura Pausini and Óscar Maydon, among other artists, are also confirmed to perform.

The ceremony coincides with Billboard Latin Music Week, which returns to Miami Beach Oct. 20-24 with a roster of star speakers, including Kali Uchis, Daddy Yankee, Xavi, Guaynaa, Netón Vega and more. Get your tickets today for the Billboard Latin Music Week 2025 here.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have said very little in public about their 2024 divorce. But in a new sit-down interview with CBS Sunday Morning‘s Lee Cowan over the weekend to promote her starring role in the upcoming remake of Kiss of the Spider Woman, Lopez opened up about how her fairy tale second chance and then subsequent second split with Affleck was actually a good thing.

In fact, Lopez told Cowan that her divorce from Affleck was “the best thing that ever happened to me.” Lopez praised Affleck’s independent, artist-led studio, Artist Equity, for helping to finance the musical drama that is slated to open on Oct. 10, describing how, “I told him [Affleck] that this was the role I was born to play and I wanted to do it and he was like, ‘Okay,’ and he helped make it happen.” The Accountant 2 actor is one of the executive producers on the project that is the second big screen adaptation of Argentine author Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel about the intimate conversations between two Argentine prisoners.

Lopez called the filming of the movie a “refuge” from thinking about the chaos of her personal life at the time. “It was like the best and the worst of times in a way because it was every moment on set and every moment I was doing this role… I was so happy and then it was, like, back home it was not great and it was just like, ‘How do I reconcile this?,’” she said.

She then added, seemingly of the couple’s divorce, “it was the best thing that ever happened to me, because it changed me… it didn’t change me… it helped me grow in a way that I needed to grow. Become more self-aware. I’m a different person now than I was last year I think.”

Lopez and Affleck first dated in 2022 and got engaged before breaking up and then reconnecting in 2021, getting married the following year and divorcing last year. Speaking about the divorce in March of this year, Affleck told GQ that Lopez was “somebody I have a lot of respect for,” noting that, “I get wanting to divine or explore the kind of differences in perspective that we have in terms of how a person feels comfortable approaching the line between public and private life. But I really hope that whatever you use doesn’t suggest that I have any negativity or judgment or anything regarding that.”

At the time, he promised the magazine that there was “no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue” about the couple’s split. “It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”
