Kid Cudi, Scooter Braun, Tinashe & More Express Frustration Over The Weeknd’s 2021 Grammys Snub
A number of the singer’s peers agreed with his frustration. Kid Cudi wrote, “Abel was robbed man this sh–s weak,” following the Recording Academy’s announcement, while Tinashe replied with a line of trash can emojis under a tweet about The Weeknd’s zero nominations.

Brilliant artist and brilliant album.” Canadian producer Boi-1da, who’s not credited on After Hours, said the album was “criminally robbed,” as “ROBBED,” “abel” and “weeknd” all began trending on Twitter i...
Josh Groban on Finding ‘New Meaning’ in Classic Songs for His Quarantine-Recorded ‘Harmony’ Album
“I’m watching strings play at AIR Studios in London, while my producer’s in Nashville, I’m in Los Angeles,” he tells the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast (listen to his interview, below). “We’ve got band members in different cities around the world.

Seismic Talent Agency Launches In Australia With Alison Wonderland, The Presets & More: Exclusive
Seismic’s philosophy? To work with ambitious, unique and groundbreaking domestic talent, Siviour explains, and to develop “bespoke touring strategies that prioritize each artist within their individual space” across the APAC region. What sets the company apart from others is its diverse roster. More specifically, it’s one of the first agencies to boast gender parity, Siviour notes. “It’s definitely something I’ve been making conscious progress towards over the last few years,” he tells Billboard. “Diverse representation is both important to me as an individual and as a cornerstone to the company-culture at Seismic Talent; it was certainly purposeful but far from a tokenistic approach.” The launch comes on the eve of the 2020 ARIA Awards, and amid mo...

On November 1st, Chappelle’s Show was added to Netflix’s library. Now, less than a month later, it’s been removed from the platform — at the request of Dave Chappelle himself.
