For his second musical appearance, the singer was introduced by his older brother Kevin, who made a hilarious cameo during the monologue.

German Radio Station Issues Statement After Host Compares BTS to COVID-19
Matuschik then suggested BTS “will be vacationing in North Korea for the next 20 years” for their “Fix You” cover. In a response obtained by the AP, the radio station said Matuschik was “presenting his opinion in an ironic, exaggerated way and with exaggerated excitement, his words went too far and hurt the feelings of BTS fans. But he — and he has assured us of this — in no way intended this. He just wanted to express his displeasure over the aforementioned cover version.” “That does not change the fact that many of you found his statements to be hurtful or racist,” said Bayern 3. “We apologize for this in every way possible. We will work on the matter with Matthias and the team in detail again in the next few days.” Besides outraging ...
First Spin: The Week’s Best New Dance Tracks From Carnage, Joel Corry & David Guetta, Pusher, More
Carnage & Gordo, “KTM” After sharing a mellower side to his music with the Martinez Brothers collaboration “Together” last August, Carnage (alongside his Gordo alias) is ready to rage once more with new single “KTM.” Shifting gears to party-hard tech house, the Guatemalan producer jumps on the mic to name-drop a cocktail of party drugs over a grinding bass line, scuffling metallic synths and a build/release sequence that evokes images of CO2 cannon blasts and liquor hurled across the dance floor through sheer force of ecstasy. It’s the kind of track that in almost any other year could be a surprise highlight of Miami Music Week, and though officially released Friday, “KTM” has been something of a long-kept secret weapon within tight DJ circles, with A-Trak and Diplo both having rinsed ...
From Pop Smoke to Post Malone, What’s Your Favorite New Music Release? Vote!
This week’s new music is both out of this world, like Nick Jonas‘ new solo single “Spaceman,” and of the world of Pokemon, courtesy of Post Malone‘s cover of Hootie & The Blowfish’s 1995 smash “Only Wanna Be With You” for the video game franchise’s 25th anniversary. But which new release has blown you away? Pop Smoke shines his light beyond this life through his posthumous single “AP,” which is featured in his upcoming film debut Boogie.

9 Things We Learned From Billie Eilish’s ‘The World’s A Little Blurry’ Documentary
Perhaps the best part, though, is that instead of glossing over some of the most painful moments — quite literally, like the time Eilish sprained her ankle within seconds of starting a sold-out Milan concert to the time she forgot the words to a song during her Coachella debut — the documentary unpacks them for what they are. In doing so, The World’s a Little Blurry is a refreshing return to the documentary as a vehicle for unveiling, unlike many celebrity documentaries of late that more so double as concert films or hype-reels. Despite how often Eilish has talked about her family, mental health journey and concerns over cancel culture, the film manages to show, not tell, how these topics have impacted and continue to impact her as both a teenager and public figure. Ahead of th...
