Electronic dance music reigns at the 2025 ARIA Awards, to be presented Nov. 19 in Sydney, as Ninajirachi and Dom Dolla dominate the nominations. With a record eight nominations, Ninajirachi leads the way. Dom Dolla is close behind with seven. Ninajirachi, the 26-year-old songwriter, producer, DJ and artist (real name: Nina Wilson) collects an album of the year nod for her debut I Love My Computer (via NLV Records), and is shortlisted for best solo artist, the Michael Gudinski breakthrough artist, best independent release, best dance/electronic release and more. “Thank u so much to my friends and fans who are doing it with me and have been around for a really long time,” she says in a message, following the announcement early Thursday of the ARIAs nominations. “Nothing like this has ever happened to me lol.” Explore See latest videos, charts and news When Ninajirachi dropped her album in August, the rising EDM star was named Billboard Dance “Rookie of the Month”. “Much like its maker,” Billboard wrote at the time, “the 12-track project is smart, stylish and ebullient, with a bit of edge and a lot of observations on living and loving in our computer world.” NLV Records is the label founded by DJ Nina Las Vegas, and which this year celebrates its 10th anniversary. “I’ve always believed in Ninajirachi, and I’m so grateful to be part of this journey with her,” she comments. “For me, it was never a question of if, but when. Championing forward-thinking music has always been my mission, just as working alongside powerful women and incredible musicians has been. Nina is all of that and more, and she truly deserves this history-making moment.” Ninajirachi has performed at Lollapalooza, EDC, Laneway Festival, and earlier this month kicked off her biggest headline run of the U.S. Meanwhile, Dom Dolla continues his smoking-hot form with seven ARIA nominations, including best solo artist and best dance/electronic release, a category he has won the previous two years.

Presented once again at the Hordern Pavilion, the ARIA Awards “are always a celebration of the moments that have defined Australian music over the past year, and 2025 has been extraordinary,” comments ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd. “This year’s nominees are living proof that Australian artists are shaping the global cultural narrative in real time. There’s no longer a singular image of what success looks like for an artist, and the stories set to be celebrated in November are absolute proof of that.” On the night, winners will be celebrated across 29 categories, including the 2025 ARIA Hall of Fame inductee, You Am I. In a first, this year’s event will recognize the festivals that create breakthrough moments for local artists. The inaugural nominees for best music festival include Ability Fest, Beyond The Valley, Bluesfest Byron Bay, Laneway Festival, and Yours and Owls Festival. Also new to the record industry’s flagship night, ARIA’s four publicly-voted categories will be integrated into Spotify, enabling fans to cast daily votes for their fave acts within the app. Public voting opens today on Spotify and the ARIA website for those categories of best Australian live act, song of the year, best video, and most popular international artist, closing Nov. 10. The 39th ARIA Awards is supported by Destination NSW, and through a multi-year partnership with Spotify. The event will air live on Paramount+ and broadcast on the free-to-air 10 network.

We’re not done seeing A$AP Rocky on the silver screen. The rapper and actor is following up Spike Lee’s caper Highest 2 Lowest with the psychological thriller If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, where he’s trading Denzel Washington for Rose Byrne as his co-star. During a conversation with Elle magazine, Rocky spoke on the subject matter and the pace of his latest film. “That whole f—ing film is an anxiety attack,” he said before commenting on his views on therapy. “My outlook on therapy is so pessimistic, it’s not even funny. I might get killed for this…but I put therapists in the same box as psychic readings.” Explore See latest videos, charts and news Adding, “I look at it like, yo, if you don’t share the same experiences what’s the point of me telling a stranger my business for an hour straight, for them to just say, ‘Okay, well, how did that make you feel?’” He then suggested that Jay-Z would be a good therapist after the interviewer Clover Hope pushed back by telling him that there’s been conversations happening about needing more Black therapists in the field. “I think Jay-Z is a Black therapist,” he said. “A lot of people come to him with their problems.” Earlier in the the profile, his newest co-star gave him a glowing review. “He has a natural curiosity about him and a great amount of respect for the work, and he’s innately creative,” Byrne said of Rocky who plays a motel super in the film. “My scenes with him are hard, because I had to be extremely mean. I think his character is the hardest to play, because he’s genuine and empathic to the others. It was like a fun dance we had back and forth. He’d come up with extraordinarily creative insults to call me. But he says it, and then he smiles. And you’re like, I guess you can get away with this. It’s like a supernatural charm.” In other Rocky news, he and Rihanna recently welcomed their third child. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You opens in theaters on Oct. 10. Source link

Cardi B surprised the Bardi Gang with a gift as she released a bonus track with “Don’t Do Too Much” arriving on Tuesday (Sept. 23).

Mariah Carey isn’t the biggest fan of artists covering her songs. During an interview with GQ, the topic of covers came up and Mariah told a story of Prince once telling her that he didn’t like when other singers did covers of his songs, in regards to Carey’s rendition of his record “The Beautiful Ones.” “I love ‘The Beautiful Ones’ so much,” she said. “And I remember Prince, he didn’t like people to redo his songs. He said to me, ‘I love ‘Honey’ though.’ It’s like, ‘Prince likes ‘Honey’!’ [Laughs] But about [my cover of] ‘The Beautiful Ones,’ he said he didn’t like when people did covers of his songs. And I was like, ‘Oh no, he doesn’t like it.’ But then he told me that he liked ‘Honey.’” Explore See latest videos, charts and news And apparently she feels the same way because she was then asked if she liked when people covered her songs to which she answered, “Not really.” She was then asked about the viral reaction to her watching Muni Long covering her hit record “We Belong Together” during the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards where the legendary singer was being honored as an industry icon and appeared to be a bit uncomfortable during her tribute performance. “I didn’t even hear the cover. I didn’t know it happened. No one told me,” she said perhaps blaming her reaction on the venue’s acoustics. “I just didn’t know that she had done ‘We Belong Together’ [as a cover] ‘cause her song was so similar to ‘We Belong Together.’ I had no idea that she did ‘We Belong Together.’” Adding, “I’m very honored and flattered that she did it. I love Muni Long, she’s a great person, umm, but I just don’t like people doing my songs.” Muni took to social media and gave her side of the story, telling her followers that she was paying homage and was asked to do that specific song. “The people that’s got a lot to say, you don’t understand how this…paying homage and having respect for people, you know what I’m saying,” Long explained at the time. “She asked me to do it. You thought I chose to get on TV and sing a Mariah Carey song? You thought that was my choice? Why would I do that? Nobody can sing Mariah’s songs like Mariah. Nobody. I didn’t chose that. She asked me to do it and of course I said yes ’cause why would I ever say no? I did my best, and that’s all I can do.” Mariah also showed Muni love on her Instagram Stories after the show and posted a picture of herself, Long and Tori Kelly along with a caption that read, “So beyond grateful for these two gorgeous, uber-talented, kind, incredible musicians who made my heart so full of joy with their tribute performances at the @iheartradio awards. I love and appreciate you so much!!!” The two singers have collaborated a bunch over the years, most recently in 2024 when Mariah hopped on the remix for Muni’s hit single “Made for Me.” Mariah Carey’s 16th album Here for It All later this week on Friday, Sept. 26.

A 48-year-old man named Justin Lee Fisher has been arrested for trespassing, allegedly jumping the fence of Travis Kelce‘s home in an attempt to serve Taylor Swift with deposition papers on behalf of Justin Baldoni on Sept. 15. According to People, the arrest took place at 2 a.m. while both the pop star and her fiancé were believed to be at home. The man was apparently charged with “jumping the fence onto a private residence in a private neighborhood.” Rolling Stone also reports that two individuals named Drew Bossi and Laura Baker were named for the offense of “criminal trespass property” at Kelce’s home around the same time on Sept. 15. Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep as well as the Leawood Police Department in Kansas City for comment. The development comes amid Baldoni’s bitter legal battle with his It Ends With Us collaborator Blake Lively, who sued the director last year for allegedly harassing her on set and orchestrating a smear campaign attacking her reputation once filming was over. The director later tried to sue the actress for defamation, but a judge dismissed the case; Lively’s original lawsuit will head to trial in 2026. Throughout the litigation, Baldoni has tried to involve Swift — whose friendship with Lively dates back many years — multiple times. In his original countersuit filing, he alleged (without directly naming the pop star) that his legal opponent had tried to use her famous friend’s power and influence to pressure him into agreeing with Lively’s creative choices for It Ends With Us. In June, a judge granted his legal team’s request that text messages between Swift and Lively be presented in court as evidence. Baldoni has also fought for Swift to be deposed in the case, but a judge denied that request on Sept. 12. Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox Sign Up Source link
