Independent publisher and label Position Music has selected Mark Chipello to become its president. After joining the company in 2011 when it was still in its earliest days, operating out of a Los Angeles condo, Chipello worked his way up the ranks to become the company’s partner and head of A&R in 2023.
Over the last few years, Chipello and the Position Music team have seen significant gains. The company, founded by CEO Tyler Bacon, first started as a sync-focused publisher, but in recent years, Position has expanded into being a full-service publisher and label. In 2023, Position brought on The Vesper Group in 2023 as a minority investor to support the company’s growth and investment in talent, and around that same time, Position started to earn shares of major hits like “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone, “No Broke Boys” by Tinashe, “Are You Even Real” by Teddy Swims and more. All this has amounted to a growing share of the publishing market, breaking the company into Billboard’s Publishers Quarterly ranks for the first time last year, and since then, they’ve stuck. As of Q2 of 2025, Position was among the top ten publishers by market share for the Pop Airplay and Hot 100 charts.

As president, Chipello will partner with Bacon to lead Position Music’s overall direction as they continue to focus on growth across both the label and publishing sides of their operation. Their 16-person a&r team will now jointly report to Chipello and Bacon. Other department heads will continue to report to Bacon.
Bacon says of the promotion: “I’m proud to recognize Mark’s accomplishments and overtly expand his role in helping me run this company. We have worked together for over 20 years now. In addition to doing a great job as an A&R and continuing to build a highly effective A&R team, he has been a strategic thinker and an important sounding board for me in decision making. He’s played a crucial role in growing this company. Mark is an incredibly hard worker, well equipped in building relationships and maximizing opportunities, and highly focused on the foundational elements of what is needed to continue to build a world class independent music company. We are completely aligned that the heart of this company is creative and serving clients. I am honored by and appreciate how committed he is to Position Music and trust him in moving into this larger role in our leadership.”
Chipello says: “I am grateful for the trust and belief Tyler has placed in me and for the foundation that we’ve built together with our partners, Emily Weber and Jake Versluis. We’ve created a destination where artists and writers are choosing to entrust their careers with us. My mission is to serve artists and songwriters and amplify their talents by building a world-class team that services them at the highest level. It is a tremendous responsibility and opportunity, and I am humbled to help lead this company into the future side by side with Tyler.”

Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany, shared a video of themselves covering a Luke Bryan hit to honor late conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. The brief video clip, captioned “For Charlie” and including a heart emoji, features the Aldeans singing Bryan’s somber 2014 hit “Drink a Beer,” with the musician also accompanying on acoustic guitar.

“Funny how the good ones go/ Too soon, but the good Lord knows/ The reasons why I guess,” Aldean sings as his wife joins in.
“Drink a Beer” was written by Brett Beavers and Chris Stapleton, and spent two weeks atop Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart in 2014.
The video also shows a photo of the Aldeans attending the memorial service held for the polarizing conservative activist on Sept. 21 in Glendale, Ariz. The event featured performances from Christian music artists including Chris Tomlin, Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham, and featured speakers including President Donald Trump and Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
Charlie Kirk, the founder of youth conservative organization Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 during a question-and-answer session held at Utah Valley University as part of his group’s The American Comeback Tour. The suspect in the murder, Tyler Robinson, turned himself in to law enforcement about 33 hours after the shooting. He has been charged with aggravated murder and more; prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Shortly after Kirk’s death, Jason Aldean shared a photo on social media of the couple with Kirk, praising him and sending prayers to his family in the caption.

BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ Is ‘Beyond Shocked’ by Her VMA Nominations: ‘I’m Absolutely Speechless’
Returning to The Tonight Show about nine months after she served as a musical guest on the program, the BLACKPINK singer played on Fallon’s team against The Roots’ Tariq Trotter and guest Kate McKinnon during the hilarious guessing game. With ROSÉ successfully determining that the talk-show host was miming Sabrina Carpenter’s smash “Espresso” in the first round before acting out clues for Love Island, which Fallon also correctly guessed, it was a tie game left up to one last free-for-all round.
The last prompt ended up being “Elvis,” leading McKinnon and the K-pop star to launch into their respective best impressions of The King. Though ROSÉ’s embodiment of Elvis wasn’t quite as ambitious as the Saturday Night Live alum’s, with the singer shyly playing air guitar and rocking out with an invisible mic stand, Fallon secured their team’s victory by guessing the right answer just seconds before Trotter did.
“Yes!” ROSÉ cheered, wrapping Fallon in a celebratory hug.
The game night comes just a few weeks after the star’s Billboard Hot 100-topping duet with Bruno Mars, “APT.,” won song of the year at the 2025 VMAs. ROSÉ previously performed the smash on The Tonight Show in December, along with “Toxic Till the End” from her debut solo album Rosie.
In the months since she last appeared on the show, “APT.” has only become more and more inescapable — something ROSÉ and Fallon spoofed in a hilarious video while she was in the NBC building. In the clip, he wanders the dark halls of 30 Rock as a ghostly ROSÉ trails him, spooking him by singing parts of the track.
“Man, it’s almost scary how I can’t get that song out of my head,” Fallon says of “APT.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a new civil abuse lawsuit from his longtime stylist Deonte Nash, months after the ex-employee testified against the hip hop mogul at his criminal trial.
In a case submitted Wednesday in a Los Angeles court, Deonte Nash accuses Combs of assault, sexual battery and other wrongdoing – the latest of dozens of such lawsuits filed against Diddy since abuse claims first surfaced in 2023.

The case from Nash, who also served as a stylist to Combs’ longtime girlfriend and alleged abuse victim Cassie Ventura, comes after he testified at the star’s blockbuster criminal trial in May, and less than two weeks before the star will be sentenced for his convictions on prostitution charges.
“Though defendants have silenced him for years, Mr. Nash is no longer willing to give in to this fear for his life and is now standing up to demand justice,” his lawyers write in the court filings.
In his lengthy complaint, Nash says Combs turned his dream of working as a celebrity stylist “into a nightmare that he was forced to endure nearly every single day” for the ten years he worked for the star from 2008 to 2018.
“Combs … subjected Mr. Nash to a decade of sexual and physical assault, sexual and verbal harassment, trafficking, degradation and humiliation, threats to his life and well-being, stalking, control, and psychological manipulation,” his lawyers write. “Combs used his power and threats of harm to compel Mr. Nash to do his bidding and prevent him from leaving defendants’ control.”

Diddy Lawyers Ask Judge for Almost No Prison Sentence: ‘It Is Time for Mr. Combs to Go Home’
At a party in “2013 or 2014,” Nash says the star exposed his penis and moved closer to him until the stylist told him to stop. During another alleged incident in 2016, Nash says Diddy grabbed his hand and forced him to touch his penis. In yet another incident in 2018, he says the star “grinded” on his genitals in a “sexually-charged” way: “Mr. Nash felt violated and offended by this unwanted sexual touching.”
The lawsuit also claims Diddy subjected Nash to physical violence, as well as “unreasonable demands and expectations” as his stylist. He says he eventually had “no other choice” but to resign in 2018, but that Combs then “continued to threaten Mr. Nash after his employment ended.”
In a statement to Billboard on Wednesday, Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff called Nash “another opportunist looking to profit off his proximity to celebrity” who had filed a lawsuit that was “riddled with falsehoods.”
“Mr. Nash’s tabloid-style accusations are insulting not only to Mr. Combs but also to the countless individuals who worked honorably and professionally within his companies,” Wolff said. “In court, the truth will prevail, as it did in his criminal trial: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman. Mr. Combs looks forward to clearing his name again in a court of law where truth matters.”

Combs was arrested and charged in September 2024 with racketeering (RICO) and sex trafficking violations over accusations that he ran a sprawling criminal operation aimed at facilitating freak-offs — elaborate events in which he allegedly forced Ventura and other women to have sex with male escorts while he watched and masturbated.
At his blockbuster trial this spring, Nash took the witness stand for the prosecution, telling jurors he had seen Diddy physically abuse Ventura and threaten to release sex tapes of her if she didn’t do what he demanded.
But when the verdict was handed down, jurors largely cleared Combs, acquitting him on the core RICO and sex trafficking charges that could have seen him sentenced to prison for life. He was convicted only on two lesser counts of transporting Ventura and others across state lines for prostitution.
Combs is set for sentencing on those convictions on Oct. 3. His lawyers asked the judge Monday to sentence him to 14 months in prison — a sentence that would see him released almost immediately on time served.
But even if he’s released quickly, Diddy is facing dozens of cases like Nash’s, accusing him of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and various other forms of sexual abuse. Several have been dismissed in recent months, including one case filed by Making the Band 2 contestant Sara Rivers and another case by a John Doe plaintiff, but many others remain pending.

A new look has garnered major attention on social media, and it has the fashion world divided.
Barrel jeans have become the new “it” denim style thanks to its exaggerated horseshoe-like legs that have some people claiming it’s the shape of the summer, while others find the look practically impossible to style. Thankfully, TikTok has some ideas on the best way to wear the viral barrel jeans. While there are a slew of barrel styles to choose from, one seems to have risen above the rest.
More than 27 million TikTok videos have been made about the We the Free Barrel Jeans from Free People, with users showing off how to style the look in the most fashion-forward way. TikToker Julia Huynh has earned more than a million views on the platform, where the user claims the reason the style works isn’t a result of “my body — I think it’s the way I wear them.” She then proceeds to theorize that long and low-rise fits will look more flattering than a cropped style.
While the Free People denim, and barrel jeans in general, have fashion lovers questioning its stylishness, that hasn’t stopped people from stocking up on the look. Free People’s version is not just under $100, it also comes in 15 washes to choose from — and it’s already selling out fast.
To make sure you get your hands on a pair to test the look out for yourself, you can shop the exact barrel jeans below.
The We the Free barrel jeans not only come in a variety of shades, but feature three lengths: short, regular and long. The brand recommends staying true to your size or sizing up, depending on how loose and baggy you want the denim to feel. It’s also designed using Free People’s most rigid denim, which means there won’t be a lot of stretch. Find them for about $100 on Free People’s website or score a pair for $95 on Amazon.com.
The barrel jeans have even been curvy-approved, with TikToker Brieana Banks claiming, “I’m convinced that a thick girl invented barrel jeans.” If you’re already obsessed with the denim style or just want to add a few more to your rotation, we also rounded up similar styles from popular brands below.

What Are Barrel Jeans?
While TikTok has been labeling the jeans “barrel,” the style is known by a couple other names, including “balloon” and “horseshoe” jeans. What sets it apart from the classic wide-leg jean is the fact that the design flares out at the thighs and tapers off by the ankles. This gives it that rounded shape similar to a barrel.
Are Barrel Jeans In for 2025?
Barrel jeans have been going viral all over social media for months now, making it clear that the look isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Though it has the fashion community theorizing the best way to style the denim look, that hasn’t stopped people from clamoring to stock up on as many styles as possible.

Kentucky bluegrass/country band The Creekers, known for their breakthrough hit “Tennessee,” has signed with Warner Music Nashville/Warner Records, Billboard can exclusively reveal.
The six-member group includes Anna Blanton (fiddle), Ashton Bowling (cajon), Jagger Bowling (bass/vocals), Allen Hacker (vocals/rhythm guitar), Tanner Horton (vocals/lead guitar) and Scott Sutton (banjo/vocals). The group formed in the Eastern coal field region of Kentucky, in Leslie County, located under an hour away from the famed coal mining area of Harlan, Kentucky that inspired the Darrell Scott-written, Patty Loveless-recorded classic, “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive.”
The Creekers released their first album, the genre-melding Pour Me In The Creek in 2024 and followed with 2025’s River Rat EP, which included “Tennessee,” the soulful bluegrass song that rose to the top 5 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart this summer.
The song’s bluegrass underpinnings, topped with Hacker’s burly voice, have led some fans to compare the group’s sound to the Chris Stapleton-led, early iteration of bluegrass group The SteelDrivers. Other songs on The Creekers’ River Rat EP include “Lay You Down,” “Hyden, KY” and “Alex’s Song.”
Warner Music Nashville is home to artists including Kenny Chesney, Dan+Shay, Bailey Zimmerman, Braxton Keith, Cody Johnson, William Beckmann and Cole Swindell. Warner Records is home to artists including Zach Bryan, Billy Strings, Brandy Clark and Maddox Batson.
The signing comes as bluegrass, Americana and other roots-oriented music styles have surged in recent years, with the success of artists including Strings, Bryan, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson and more. Strings’s most recent album Highway Prayersdebuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales Chart, marking the first bluegrass album in 22 years to top the chart, since the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack spent two weeks atop the chart in 2002 (and ruled the Bluegrass Albums chart for 15 weeks).

Everything We Know About ‘Wicked: For Good’ (So Far)
‘Wicked: For Good’ Director Jon M. Chu Previews Two New Songs From Anticipated Sequel: ‘They’re Questioning, ‘What Is Home?’
Released on Wednesday (Sept. 24) — about two months before the Wicked sequel finally premieres in theaters on Nov. 21 — the preview shows how the blonde leading lady wrestles with her new role as Oz’s spokeswoman, as Cynthia Erivo‘s Elphaba attempts to expose the Wizard’s evil agenda while living in hiding. At first, Glinda is “obsess-ulated” with the gorgeous gown, tiara and mechanical flying bubble her public-facing life affords her — but everything quickly comes crashing down when she realizes that she’s on the wrong side of history, and that she just might be too late to save her former schoolmate from the wrath of Oz’s brainwashed citizens.
“I’m a public figure now, people expect me to …,” Glinda tells Elphaba at one point, with Dorothy’s fallen house and the Yellow Brick Road visible in the background.
“Lie?” the green-skinned witch cuts in, to which Glinda says defensively, “Be encouraging.”
Grande’s character is less sure of herself when she is confronted by Jonathan Bailey’s Fiyero, who accuses, “You can’t resist this.”
“Who could?” Glinda asks, to which the Winkie prince replies, “You know who could.”
Arriving one year after the first Wicked hit theaters and shattered movie-musical box-office records, For Good will serve as the film adaptation of the second act of the Broadway musical on which the live-actions are based. The soundtrack will also drop on Nov. 21, complete with two brand new songs sung by Grande and Erivo.
As revealed when the tracklist dropped a week prior to the new trailer, the title of Glinda’s bonus song is “The Girl in the Bubble,” while Elphaba’s added balled is called “No Place Like Home.”

Louis Tomlinson is feeling sweet, but also a bit bitter. The former One Direction singer appeared to crank up the promo machine for his as-yet-untitled third solo album another notch on Tuesday (Sept. 23) when he dropped a 15-second teaser for the upcoming single “Lemonade.”
The song, due out on Tuesday (Sept. 30), is a soaring pop balloon, with Tomlinson singing, “She’s so bitter, she’s so sweet/ Lemonade, lemonade/ A little taste is all I need/ Lemonade,” over driving drums and a joyful arrangement. The accompanying peek at what looks like the music video, finds Tomlinson — his hair buzzed on the sides and grown out and shaggy on top — hanging out in a field in front of a towering stack of speakers and a rusted-out old car.
The singer has been busy lately teasing the follow-up to his 2022 sophomore LP, Faith in the Future, telling fans earlier this month that the untitled album is nearly complete. “Just sat listening to the new record and I’ve got a really really good feeling this time around!” he wrote on X at the time. “Can’t wait for you all to hear it!!”
Faith in the Future featured the singles “Bigger Than Me,” “Out of My System” and “Silver Tongues,” and debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart, while giving Tomlinson his first No. 1 on the UK albums chart.
At press time no title or release date have been announced for Tomlinson’s third LP, though he has some upcoming gigs where fans are hoping he’ll debut other new songs. In fact, when one commenter expressed frustration at the lack of information on the album earlier this month, Tomlinson teased, “or maybe I’m going to play something new at away from home,” following up with, “it’s about time isn’t it” and “Really really excited about it! Got a few surprises. Should be fun.”
Tomlinson will be among the headliners at the upcoming New York edition of his Away From Home Festival (Oct. 4-5) at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, where he’ll appear alongside his personally curated list of fellow performers, including Lauv, Steve Aoki, Plain White T’s, Daya, Circa Waves, Pale Waves and others. He will also take part in BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month on Oct. 29, where guests typically perform one of their own songs as well as a cover song.

José Cedeño has been promoted to executive vp and general manager of Interscope Capitol Miami, the label announced on Wednesday (Sept. 24). In his new role, Cedeño will continue to work closely with Nir Seroussi, head of Interscope Capitol Miami, and oversee the day-to-day of the Latin music division housed within Interscope Capitol.
“It’s been an amazing experience building this division from scratch working alongside Nir to execute his and John Janick’s vision,” Cedeño, formerly svp/general manager at the label, said in a statement. “The artists recognized the power of this idea from the very start, and the teams at the larger Interscope and Capitol labels have been supportive the entire way.

The Rolling Stones are going back to the vault for a refresh of their landmark 13th studio album, Black and Blue. The group will celebrate the 1976 LP with an upcoming definitive Super Deluxe box set due out on Nov. 14 through Interscope/UMe featuring five previously unreleased songs.
The set, remixed and expanded across multiple formats, will include a 5LP vinyl box set as well as a 4-CD box set, with both including a Blu-ray disc, replica tour poster and 100-page hardback book with a new essay by Stones expert Paul Sexton and exclusive photos from the album session and tour. A limited-edition vinyl version will be pressed on black and blue marbled vinyl, alongside streamlined two-disc and one-disc formats on CD and vinyl.
Black and Blue marked a turning point for the band following the departure of former guitarist Mick Taylor, who was eventually replaced by Ronnie Wood. As the band searched for Taylor’s replacement, they brought a series of guitar greats in to perform on the LP, including Canned Heat guitarist Harvey Mandel, songwriter and session great Wayne Perkins, as well as Yardbirds wiz Jeff Beck and Memphis blues guitarist Robert A. Johnson.
Wood would later join the band full-time, appearing on three tracks on the Billboard 200 album chart-topping LP, which mixes reggae, funk and soul into the Stones’ signature mix on songs including “Hot Stuff,” “Fool to Cry,” “Memory Motel” and “Melody.”
The box set will feature a six-track disc of previously unreleased songs, including Mick Jagger/Keith Richards composition “I Love Ladies,” a cover of Shirley & Company’s “Shame, Shame, Shame” and four instrumental jams from the 1975 sessions with the guest guitarists; a new video for “Shame, Shame, Shame” will debut on Thursday (Sept. 25) directed by Dutch filmmaker Camille Boumans. The box will include a full live concert from the band’s six-night residency at London’s Earls Court Exhibition Centre.
The accompanying Blu-ray disc adds a previously unreleased TV broadcast of the Stones’ 1976 show at Les Abattoirs in Paris, as well as Dolby Atmos surround sound mixes of the studio album and the live Earls Court concert.
Producer Andrew Watt recently told Rolling Stone magazine that he’s working with the Stones again on what could be the follow-up to their Grammy-winning 24th studio album, 2023’s Hackney Diamonds. Without revealing many details, Watt said, “I’ve said it before, but it’s like working for Batman…when the tongue is up in the air, you just go… I can say we did some recording together, but that’s all I can say.”
