It’s fair to say that the world has never seen anything quite like Kpop Demon Hunters, which has absolutely captivated audiences — to the point that fictional band HUNTR/X is now making very real moves in the music industry. Its single “Golden,” for instance, has spent five weeks so far at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first female K-pop group to reach the chart’s summit. That said, the imaginary trio also has some very real musical influences that informed its look and sound — and in a conversation with Billboard over noodles, the singing voices behind HUNTR/X spoke about some of their personal favorite K-pop acts. EJAE, who portrays Rumi in the Kpop Demon Hunters musical numbers, begins, “I like the OG generation, so, like, G.O.D, shout-out.” “H.O.T, S.E.S, like, they are the reasons why I fell in love with K-pop,” she continues. “And like, aespa, BLACKPINK, BTS, TWICE.” “I’m a big 2010s era [fan], like, I fainted at a Big Bang concert when I was like 12,” Audrey Nuna, who sings for Mira, says. “2NE1 was hugely inspirational, because I feel like they were just so cool. Obviously they’re amazingly beautiful as well, but I think for me, it was like they led with their coolness, and they led with their kind of self empowerment. That was huge to see, like, an Asian female face who was owning their stuff to that degree.” REI AMI, who voices Zoey, agrees. “They weren’t doing like the traditional girl group, aesthetic approach, of, like, very good, frilly, girly,” she says of 2NE1. “No, they were hard, in your face, full of attitude. And I think us being raised in the West, there was a part of us that we saw in them. Because, you know, we are Korean-American. There’s a whole Western side to us, and it shows in our music and our artistry.” The ladies’ outing with Billboard comes as Kpop Demon Hunters is dominating on the charts following the film’s premiere on Netflix in June. In addition to the mini-residency “Golden” has taken up on the Hot 100, the project’s soundtrack recently reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. And while HUNTR/X is the first female K-pop group to top the Hot 100, they’re also the first all-female group, period, to rule the chart since Destiny’s Child did it with “Bootylicious” in 2001. “It is really cool, because I feel like they were so trailblazing in their own way as well,” says Nuna of the iconic R&B trio comprised of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. “It feels like a similar narrative, in the sense of three women of color just –.” “Dominating,” REI AMI jumps in. With all the success Demon Hunters is seeing, fans have been clamoring for another installment. A part two is reportedly in talks, but as REI AMI reminds Billboard, “The sequel has not been confirmed.” “We are, you know, looking forward, and we will know once we get that email,” she continues. So what do the voices of HUNTR/X intend to do in the meantime? “We should start, like, a tap-dancing group or something,” says Nuna as REI AMI and EJAE laugh. “Or a whistle chorus. An a cappella group.” Check out the trio’s full interview with Billboard above. Source link

Kali Uchis is working to get her “Crashing” collaboration with D4vd taken off streaming services after authorities identified a 15-year-old girl as the body found in a Tesla registered to the “Romantic Homicide” singer earlier in September. Uchis came under fire in her Sept. 11 Instagram post, as fans called her out for her relationship with D4vd. “Not my friend i did a song with him which is currently in the process of being taken down given today’s disturbing news,” she wrote in response. Others came to Uchis’ defense and she fired back at the detractors. “Its ok bb people like her are why women always get blamed for the things men do lol, the internalized misogyny of this world I suppose,” she responded to another commenter, according to Complex. Billboard has reached out to D4vd for comment. “Crashing” landed on D4vd’s Withered debut album, which arrived in April via Darkroom/Interscope Records. An accompanying visual for the track was released in February and has more than four million views on YouTube. After the body was found in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla in a Hollywood Tow lot earlier in September, authorities identified the body as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. She was reported missing after last being seen in April 2024 in Riverside County. Her remains were discovered when police were alerted to a “foul odor” coming from the impounded car. D4vd (born David Anthony Burke) is currently on the road as part of his Withered World Tour, but canceled his Seattle show on Wednesday night (Sept. 17).

Shinedown is something of an anachronism. The veteran rock band arrived at the tail end of the CD era, lived through the download era and has thrived in the streaming era. Over those years, radio became less important as digital platforms gained influence and short-form video apps such as TikTok turned into hitmakers.  Explore See latest videos, charts and news But while much of record labels’ promotional efforts have shifted to platforms including TikTok, Shinedown has remained adamant about the importance of terrestrial radio. Earlier in September, the band notched its 21st No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with “Killing Fields.” In March, the band became the first artist with 20 No. 1s on the chart with “Dance, Kid, Dance” — two more than the next band on the list, Three Days Grace. “Streaming will get your music played, but radio will give you a career, because it gave us a career and it continues to do that,” Shinedown singer Brent Smith tells Billboard’s Behind the Setlist podcast. “Radio is a big part of the success of the band in North America.” It helps that Shinedown is a rare rock band that appeals to a broad audience, which gives it airplay on a variety of radio formats. “We’re very, very lucky because we’ve always looked at Shinedown as everyone’s band,” says Smith. “So even from the beginning, that ideology of, ‘Is it a rock band?’ Yes, it’s a rock band. But that’s not everything that we are. Because we’re not influenced by just one style of music or one genre. We have a pretty vast palette. We swim in a pretty big ocean.” Being a radio-oriented band is a lot of work, though. Smith explains that the group will tailor its touring and album cycles to allow visits to stations in cities across the U.S. “We need to be able to go in and say ‘Hi,’ say ‘Thank you.’” And rather than focus on a few big markets, Shinedown visits smaller markets that are nevertheless filled with rock fans.  “I think it’s really, really important for people to understand that in this business,” he says. “Nobody owes you anything. You gotta work for it. And honestly, man, sometimes you have to take it. Are you willing to outwork the other people? I mean, that’s really what it comes down to. Sometimes it’s just pure tenacity more than anything.” The payoff to decades of radio promotion is being able to sell thousands of tickets in most any market in the U.S.. Radio is local, Smith explains, and getting airplay helps build a fanbase in that market. On the first leg band’s recently concluded Dance, Kid, Dance Tour, Shinedown played in Des Moines, Iowa, which has a metropolitan population of approximately 540,000 people. On the tour’s second leg, the band played Boston’s TD Garden and New York City’s Madison Square Garden for the first time.  According to Smith’s math, an arena filled with fans is the same regardless of where it’s located. “Yes, they’re different markets, but the reality is that the Des Moines arena holds 15,000 people, and the Boston [TD] Garden and Madison Square Garden [each] hold 15,000 people.” Listen to the entire interview with Brent Smith using the embedded Spotify player below, or listen at Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeart, Podbean or Everand.

Cardi B has revealed the tracklist for her upcoming sophomore album, Am I the Drama?. The Bronx native posted the tracklist on Thursday (Sept. 18), just over 12 hours before the project finally lands come Friday (Sept. 19). Explore See latest videos, charts and news The album boasts 23 tracks in total, including a pair of features from Summer Walker (“Dead,” “Shower Tears”), Selena Gomez( “Pick It Up”), Kehlani (“Safe”), Lizzo (“What’s Goin On”), Cash Cobain (“Better Than You”), Lourdiz (“On My Back”), Janet Jackson (“Principal”), Tyla (“Nice Guy”) and Megan Thee Stallion (“WAP”). Fans seemed to be upset in Cardi’s IG comments section, as they thought a brand new collab with Megan was on the way, rather than 2020 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “WAP.” She addressed similar criticism in June, writing on X at the time, “WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs, my fans have been asking me to put them on an album, and people search for them on IOP all the time… they deserve a home.” Cardi’s been putting on a clinic with her album rollout, which continued this week with an appearance on The Tonight Show. “Tell people on your show to get my album. Thank you,” she quipped. “Tell your audience or I’m gonna be homeless.” The 32-year-old also revealed this week that she’s pregnant with baby No. 4, which will be her first child with NFL star boyfriend Stefon Diggs. “Yes, I am [pregnant]. I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi told Gayle King on CBS Mornings. “I’m excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.” It’s been more than seven years since Invasion of Privacy and the wait is nearly over.

Earlier in September, Ed Sheeran wrapped his gargantuan four-year stadium tour. The +-=÷x Tour (The Mathematics Tour) launched in 2022 after the release of the previous year’s = (Equals) and continued through the releases of 2023’s – (Subtract) and Autumn Variations. Over three album eras and 188 shows across four continents, Sheeran grossed $875.7 million and sold 8.8 million tickets according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. That makes it the highest grossing tour of his career and thus, one of the biggest tours of all time. Related Sheeran has only been a global touring figure for less than 15 years, but mounting his most successful tour yet was no easy feat. His previous trek, The ÷ Tour (The Divide Tour), ran from 2017 to 2019 and set records in its final stretch as the highest grossing and bestselling tour in history. More shows in a shorter timeframe, The Divide Tour grossed $776.4 million and sold 8.9 million tickets, breaking U2’s longstanding records in both metrics for the U2 360° Tour ($736.4 million and 7.3 million tickets in 2009-11). On the other side of the pandemic, Sheeran was surpassed as the biggest earner, first by Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour ($939.1 million) and then by Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour ($2.1 billion) and Coldplay’s ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour ($1.5 billion through Aug. 31). In terms of attendance, both Coldplay and Swift surpassed 10 million tickets, with the former now up to 12.8 million and counting. The Mathematics Tour finishes fourth all-time in gross (behind Swift, Coldplay and John) and attendance (Coldplay, Swift, The Divide Tour). Like his prior tour, this one took Sheeran around the world and back with five legs in the U.K. and Europe, two in Asia, 25 shows in North America and 15 in Oceania. Europe and the U.K. were the obvious standouts for the British singer, accounting for 59% of the tour’s total gross and 63% of its attendance. Combined, the five legs grossed $517.1 million and sold 5.5 million tickets over 117 shows. Next was North America with $170.7 million and 1.6 million tickets. Asia’s 31 shows earned $102.4 million and sold 753,000 tickets. The one leg of dates in Oceania added $85.5 million and 810,000 tickets. The expanse of The Mathematics Tour includes various warm-up shows in the weeks leading up to its stadium launch, plus a Subtract promo breakout in 2023, putting Sheeran in relatively intimate arenas in the U.K. and Ireland to specifically promote his then-new record. It does not, however, include The Subtract Tour in North America, which hit U.S. theaters in the same cities of some of his Mathematics stadium shows. Also outside of the proper tour, there was an isolated date at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on May 22, 2024, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of x (Multiply). From Dublin’s Whelans (357 capacity) to four nights at London’s Wembley Stadium (420,000 tickets), Sheeran adapted his live show to maximize his tour’s reach. But that’s not all! Sheeran released Play last week (Sept. 12) and is already plotting a tour to follow. He announced the Loop Tour, which will commence before the year is even over. Five arena shows are set in December across Paris, Munich and Dublin, plus two in England. Then, it’ll be 17 stadium dates in Australia and New Zealand in the early months of 2026. While no dates have been officially announced, he teased a leg of U.S. concerts next year during a live performance on TikTok. Dating back to Sheeran’s first reported concert at QPAC Concert Hall in Brisbane, Australia (July 31, 2012 – $101K; 1,488 tickets), he has grossed over $1.7 billion from 18.9 million tickets sold. He is one of the 10 highest grossing and bestselling acts in Boxscore history. Source link

Kid Cudi is setting the record straight regarding claims rapper Consequence made that the Ohio native sabotaged a potential Drake and Ye (formerly Kanye West) album in the works. Explore See latest videos, charts and news Cudi hopped on Instagram on Thursday (Sept. 18) to clear the air while vehemently denying he had anything to do with a Drake-Ye album falling through or that he played a role in West’s 2016 hospitalization. “The other day rapper Consequence made some allegations that were extremely false. The things he said were pretty f—king disturbing,” he began in the video posted to his Stories. “Let me be clear: I had nothing to do with Kanye not doing that collab album with Drake. And I damn sure had nothing to do with him being hospitalized and going to the psych ward.” Cudi continued: “Kanye gon’ do whatever Kanye wanna do. What I look like being like, ‘Yo, I don’t want you to do this album.’ And him being like, ‘OK.’ Yeah, right, in what universe?” Kid Cudi said he sent a cease-and-desist letter to Consequence’s team and threatened to up his litigation to hurt his pockets. “We sent a cease-and-desist, told him to take it down and retract his statement … I need to get a retracted statement tomorrow,” he added. “Saying that is extremely false and if not, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer, period. I’ma hit you in them pockets. That little bit of change you got gonna be mine. Keep f—ing with me, s—t is not a game.” Billboard has reached out to Consequence for comment. Consequence eventually deleted the post and tweet subliminally aiming at Cudi: “And the reason we didn’t get this Game Changing project… Is because a Kid… Needed to see Ghosts smh.” However, Cons appears to be doubling down on his stance as he took to IG, reposting Cudi’s video and mocking him. “Shortly I’ll kick off the ‘Apology’ Tour on X This will be as G.O.O.D. as it gets Receipts don’t Lie and neither do I,” he captioned his post. Ye and Drake were reportedly working on a collaborative album in 2017, which was rumored to be titled Calabasas Is the New Abu Dhabi as billboards popped up in Los Angeles. The project didn’t come to fruition, and the two clashed in 2018 while Drake feuded with Pusha T.   Source link
