Back to the Hits: Sheryl Crow Revisits The Rises of Her 7 Solo Top 20 Singles on the Hot 100
Since making her debut with 1993’s Tuesday Night Music Club, Crow has traveled the world, sold millions of albums and won nine Grammys for her vulnerable, blues- and country- influenced brand of pop-rock. She’s also scored seven solo top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart over the course of her career (as well as two collaborative top 20 hits, alongside Kid Rock on 2002’s “Picture” and as part of the Stand Up To Cancer anthem “Just Stand Up!” in 2008). As part of Billboard’s new Back to the Hits series — and to preview her in-depth livestream concert — Crow revisits her seven solo top 20 hits on the Hot 100 and tells the stories behind their chart success, from her Grammy-winning first smash to the cover that unexpectedly crossed over to pop radio. “All I Wanna Do”From: 199...

Paula Abdul Recalls Recording Her Hit ‘Straight Up’ in a Shower & Her Neighbor’s Caught-on-Tape Reaction
Singing in the shower is all-too common, especially with how much better the acoustics are. So it doesn’t come as a total surprise that pop superstar Paula Abdul once recorded her ’80s breakthrough smash “Straight Up” … in the shower. The former American Idol judge spoke about the song that “changed my life” in the People in the ’90s podcast on Thursday (June 17). She discussed how “obsessed” she was with the song, written and produced by Elliot Wolff, and how she couldn’t wait to meet him and record it. “So I go to this apartment building and I meet Elliot Wolff, and I expected this R&B dude. His sounds were so incredibly R&B and funky and different,” Abdul, 58, recalls...
Space Jam: A New Legacy Soundtrack Features BROCKHAMPTON, Chance the Rapper & More
Bust out your Tune Squad jerseys because Republic Records and has revealed the complete tracklisting for Space Jam: A New Legacy. In addition to lead single “We Win (Space Jam: A New Legacy)” by Lil Baby and Kirk Franklin, the soundtrack will include an eclectic roster of brand new contributions by the Jonas Brothers (“Mercy”), BROCKHAMPTON (“MVP”), John Legend (“Crowd Go Crazy”), and more. All of the artists on the 16-track LP were revealed via a special video announcement, which kicked off with LeBron James passing the basketball to Bugs Bunny — who subsequently keeps the action going by tossing the ball to the JoBros, Aminé and Lil Baby in turn before it’s snagged by the Tazmanian Devil. Fellow Tune Squad team member Lola Bunny also makes an appearance between the likes of Anthony Ramos...
Brian Wilson’s Survival Story Told in New Documentary ‘Long Promised Road’
Film director Brent Wilson (no relation) contacted Fine after his own attempts to interview Wilson bore little fruit. Fine said his own experiences with the musician have taught him that “being there when he’s ready to talk has always been a big thing with Brian.” So they hit the road, eventually filming some 70 hours. Wilson’s importance to southern California is evident at some of the stops along their drive. A sign now marks the spot where a Beach Boys album cover was shot. While the boyhood home of Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson in Hawthorne no longer stands, a plaque marks that location, too. “I didn’t feel that Brian’s story, Brian’s third act now, had been done properly,” Fine said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I think that Brian is often seen as a recluse, as a victim,...
Ariana Grande Loves the End of Lockdown In ‘Late Late Show’ Skit: Watch
The “7 Rings” singer breezed through a parody of “Good Morning Baltimore” from Hairspray, which is renamed “No Lockdowns Anymore” for this very special occasion. Grande makes her appearance at the 1 minute market, wearing a gorgeous yellow dress. “Oh oh oh I’m back in the gym where I start to sweat,” she sings as she dances through the summery set. Grande and her pal catch up on the street and, in the heat of the moment, decide to “get drunk then get matching tattoos.” It’s colorful, its camp and its just what we need right now. Earlier, Ari used her social channels to hint at exciting things to come. “There may even be a very special, heart attack provoking cameo made by a Tony Award winning, friend of mine,” she wrote on Instagram. Watch the skit below...
The Relentless “Magic” and Optimism of TOMORROW X TOGETHER
Just two years into their career as TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai have stacked up an impressive collective resume. A small sampling of the highlights: They were named Rookies of the Year at the 2019 Melon Music Awards and Asian Artist Awards; they were the first K-pop group to cover Teen Vogue; and as of press time, they’re enjoying life in the No. 5 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. When asked what they would tell their debut selves if they could, Taehyun smiles. “Just enjoy,” he tells Consequence softly over Zoom. The quintet released their second full-length Korean album, The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE, on May 31st, following the euphoric quarantine-themed 2020 Blue Hour EP. TOMORROW X TOGETHER (often shortened to TXT) have steadily begun to ear...
Demi Lovato Signs With UTA For Worldwide Representation
According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Lovato’s tours have grossed $56.8 million and sold 1.1 million tickets. Their most recent tour, 2018’s Tell Me You Love Me Tour, was their biggest yet, earning $21.5 million. In 2020, Lovato kicked off a career resurgence when they debuted their ballad “Anyone” during a stripped-down performance at the Grammy Awards and performed the national anthem at Super Bowl LIV. In April, Lovato’s Dancing With The Devil…The Art of Starting Over reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album coincided with the launch of Lovato’s powerful four-part documentary series from YouTube Originals and director Michael D. Ratner entitled Demi Lovato: Dancing wit...
Maisie Peters Signs to Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records, Preps ‘Psycho’ Single
Peters has drawn praise from Taylor Swift and Sam Smith, among others, and her album is full of songs that display her knack for “transforming everyday experiences in to vividly written diary-style songs,” according to the release. The collection is described as Maisie’s “coming of age story and a love letter to girlhood; penned with the wit, charm and quiet confidence that has seen her ascend from busking on the streets of Brighton, to recently making her U.S. TV debut on The Late Late Show With James Corden.” The sharp, observant ballad “John Hughes Movie,” was released as the first taste of You Signed Up in February, racking up more than 11.5 million streams to date. According to the release, Peters has been honing her songwriting for three...
BTS’ 8-Year Anniversary “Festa” Celebration Was Proof That Teamwork Makes The Dream Work
“A miracle isn’t huge, it’s just this,” BTS leader RM said, his expression a bit heavy during the closing comments of the two-day concert weekend, in celebration of the group’s eighth year together. “It’s just this, this communion we feel.” RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook know a thing or two about communion. While the pandemic has continued to delay their world tour that was slated for 2020, and prevented the Korean septet from attending their first Grammys as nominees or performing in front of any audiences, they’ve found other ways to connect with fans throughout these difficult months. Hope is on the horizon, and it’s almost poetic that today, June 14, South Korea lifted concert restrictions, allowing up to 4,000 people at future events, missing BTS’ anniversary extravagan...
