Jamie Lynn Spears on Teen Pregnancy, Trying Out For ‘Twilight’ While Expecting: ‘They Had to Force Me’
Mother Lynn Spears said her youngest came into the world “unexpectedly, yet so adored by all the moment she arrived,” describing how Jamie Lynn said yes to everything social as a kid, from basketball to softball, cheerleading and gymnastics. She did it all while watching older sister Britney become the biggest pop star in the world, focusing in on acting to differentiate herself from her famous sibling. “I’m sure subconsciously, there was maybe some form of that,” Jamie Lynn said of taking a different path than Britney. “But for me, I loved making up characters.” After getting her first acting job at 9, Jamie Lynn said she wasn’t thinking about a long-term career plan, figuring she could try the pop thing later on. And she did try, recalling a meeting with a f...

Why Ava Max Wants to Write More Empowering Songs Like ‘Kings & Queens’
Below, Ava Max talks about her blockbuster year — and promises Billboard that there’s much more music to come, including a deluxe version of Heaven & Hell. How did “Kings & Queens” come together? It took about a year because we changed the song so many times. I wanted to make it about female empowerment and inequality, so I was taking my time with it. I’m a crazy perfectionist — if I don’t feel it in my bones, I’m not going to release it. I’ve been in five different studios for this song in Germany, [elsewhere in] Europe and Los Angeles. I’m happy I was patient. What about the idea for the music video? I usually write all of my treatments, and I really saw it like that. I saw it as royal, but in a modern, futuristic kind of way. I wanted it to feel simple, b...

Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ Returns to Billboard 200 Top 10 — 42 Years Later
After a 42-year wait, Fleetwood Mac’s former Billboard 200 No. 1 album Rumours returns to the top 10 this week, as the set jumps 13-7. The album, released in 1977, is basking in the glow of sales and streaming increases spurred on by publicity generated from a viral TikTok video set to the album’s song “Dreams.” The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 24-dated chart (w...

She was like, ‘Can you sign this?’ And I totally signed ‘Carrie Underwood.’ I think that might be illegal!” Clarkson and Underwood have remained close over the years due to their connection with American Idol. Clarkson became the season one champ in 2002, and Underwood won the competition three years later. Watch ...
