Justin Bieber Blasts Selena Gomez Fan After She Encourages Followers to ‘Bully’ Hailey Bieber
Justin Bieber has had enough of comments comparing his wife Hailey Bieber to ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. “Hailey Baldwin is going to do a Live, right?” a fan is seen saying in a video the singer posted to his Instagram Stories on Thursday (Dec. 3), in reference to the model’s Instagram Live with Bare Minerals and Dendoll. “Where she’s talking about herself, 20 questions with Justin Bieber. This is the time where they will not be turning off comments, so we need to fucking bombard that shit with Jelena and how Selena is better. Go after, please, let’s all go after her.” In a lengthy follow-up post, Justin wrote, “This sad excuse of a human just encouraged people on video to literally go after my wife telling people to say that my previous rela...

Radio Disney Shutting Down Amid Restructuring
The rise of streaming audio and the pandemic-fueled uncertainty about the future of live music events also contributed to the decision. The shutdown will not affect Radio Disney in Latin America, which is a separate operation. “The difficult decision to close these two radio networks coincided with Disney’s recently announced structural changes that call for Disney Branded Television to sharpen its focus on increasing production of kids’ and family content for Disney+ and Disney Channels,” said a statement announcing the news. “Division leaders also took into account the fast evolving media environment that provides more personalized music choices than ever to a generation of young consumers, and the ongoing public health crisis that continues to affect in-per...
Take a Dip With Harry Styles in This ‘Golden’ Behind-the-Scenes Video
Harry Styles remembers the 22nd day of September, when he shot the “Golden” music video, and he’s running it back for fans in a new behind-the-scenes clip. Styles recalls the golden highlights of filming the visual for Fine Line‘s opener in the Amalfi Coast in Italy through a vintage camera filter. Between dashing on the street in a primarily unbuttoned white shirt to dipping in the water, the incredibly dapper pop superstar looks like he’s having the time of his life. He even flaunts his Italian skills at the end of the clip, when he greets locals hanging around the socially distant music video set. But Styles located a different coast that was crucial to the song’s inception during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe last Nov...
Top 50 Songs of 2020
The 2020 edition of our Annual Report continues today with our Top 50 Songs of 2020. If you haven’t already, check out our Top 50 Albums of 2020, which came out earlier in the week. Also, be sure to tune in next week as we begin handing out our annual accolades and continue looking back on the strange year that was 2020. Upon being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame some years ago, Tom Waits said, “We love music, but what we really want is for music to love us back.” Believe it or not, it felt like music did that in 2020. For me, anyway. I know that it’s easy to see the world through pandemic goggles right now or strictly through the lens of racial injustice or political turmoil. Tragedy and frustration that keeps piling on can definitely cloud our vision or color our window on t...

David Bisbal and Carrie Underwood Go Bilingual In New ‘Tears of Gold:’ Watch The Premiere
While bilingual collabs between Latin and mainstream artists are no longer novel, Latin pop paired with country voice is definitely not something you hear every day. Add to that two powerful voices—David Bisbal and Carrie Underwood—and that’s something very novel indeed. “Tears of Gold,” the new single that brings together the two superstars from different continents (Bisbal is from Spain), is a soaring, uptempo pop ballad. It’s vintage Bisbal, who’s always had a flair for the dramatic. When Bisbal first heard the demo, “I immediately knew it was an amazing track that needed a special talent, and voice, to work with me on a duet,” he explains. “As an artist and vocalist, I listen to a lot of songs, determine the style and sound, and am involved in the process of my collab...

Seahorse Talks Swimming Off ‘Masked Singer,’ Taking Home Some Mementos
Alas, it wasn’t enough to save her rhinestone-encrusted skin, so when the horse head came off it revealed singer/actress/producer/songwriter and season nine American Idol semi-finalist Tori Kelly. It capped a pretty epic 2020 for Kelly, who recently followed-up her quarantine EP Solitude with her first Christmas album, the 13-track A Tori Kelly Christmas. Billboard spoke to Kelly before she was sent packing to find out why she will always hold a little piece of the glittery sea monster in her heart. How did you end up on this show? Were you a fan? My dad was a big fan and it was so out there and crazy that I hesitated at first. I didn’t just want to say yes to say yes right away. But then I realized it could be a really fun opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and do ...
Popcorn Never Tried to Hide Her Massive Voice on ‘The Masked Singer’: ‘We’re Not Here to Fool Anybody’
When the final kernel popped and the tub came off, though, it was none other than Taylor Dayne. The singer, who has sold more than 75 million records worldwide thanks to such hits as “Tell It To My Heart,” “Love Will Lead You Back” and “I’ll Always Love You,” has done everything from touring with Michael Jackson to appearing on Broadway in Elton John’s Aida in 2001. But, she tells Billboard, it was her run on Masked Singer that really got her blood running during the pandemic lockdown. Between this summer’s epic dance anthem “Please,” last year’s memoir Tell It To My Heart: How I Lost My S–t, Conquered My Fear and Found My Voice and recent studio sessions for fresh tracks, Dayne has plenty of things to be thankful for this year. Speaking to Billboar...

Out through RCA Records, “Swimming” is a leftover track that was originally recorded during sessions for Spears’ 2016 album Glory.
