Worth wondering which one of Giannis or Jokic will want to Maxey/Edgecombe/McCain that year. Maybe both?

D’Angelo’s surprise Superjam performance at Bonnaroo in 2012 is the single most special musical performance I’ve ever seen in person. It probably always will be. www.billboard.com/music/music-...

It Starts With ONE YEAR.

My first book came out on Oct. 1, 2024, and the past year has been full of wonderful and gratifying events, interactions and feedback (oh yeah, and a new Linkin Park album and tour too).

I’ve loved every minute. Thank you to everyone who’s supported, it’s meant the world.

It’s been less than five years since Bad Bunny scored the first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard 200 that was primarily in Spanish. Now - Super Bowl halftime show, likely in all Spanish. What he’s accomplished professionally in the 2020s cannot be overstated

Seven years after β€˜Maroon 5 in Atlanta,’ I continue to be impressed with the Super Bowl halftime bookings this decade!

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

As a half-hearted defense of Smash Mouth (?), the follow-up single to β€œAll Star,” β€œThen The Morning Comes,” contains some of that bite (and is really good!), but yeah, β€œAll Star” was so huge that it became defining

Any confusion regarding whether or not the Boss Hogg Outlawz are in fact boss hoggin is quickly cleared up in the opening track

How Wu-Tang Clan’s Farewell Tour β€˜Blew Away’ Expectations β€” And Where It Will Go Next Wu-Tang Clan's The Final Chamber tour: RZA talks about the group's extended farewell shows with Billboard.

β€œWe’re getting all this love. But to be honest, [performing] is not easy. It’s not like I’m 25 years old. Method Man is in great shape, but he’s like, β€˜Yo, I’m TIRED!’”

What a treat to speak to RZA about Wu-Tang’s triumphant farewell tour and where it will go next: www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip...
