Billboard Family
Every year on April 11, the United States observes National Pet Day. And in addition to the millions of people with furry friends to celebrate, countless A-list musicians also have dogs, cats and other animals to honor on the occasion. And much like their famous owners, a lot of those celebrity pets have fanbases of […]
“You make me laugh and I like it/ You get away with murder so innocent/ But when you throw a moody/ You’re all claws and you bite/ That’s all right!” To those unfamiliar, these may seem like lyrics written by a loving pet parent — and they’d be right. Those sweet and amusing words were penned by none other than the late, great, cat-loving rock icon Freddie Mercury of Queen, for the band’s Innuendo track “Delilah,” which is about his beloved feline of the same name.So, musicians — they’re just like us! Or is it that we, the normies, are just like them? After all, which of us with furry family members hasn’t made up silly little ditties to sing to our much-adored dogs and cats? (Granted, we don’t get to record them for Billboard-charting albums, but whatever.) Billboard staffers are no different. Not only do we love our four-legged pals, we sing to them, and sometimes, even name them after our favorite musicians!
There’s staff writer Hannah Dailey, who has an adorable kitty named after her “songwriting hero” Stevie Nicks. “Stevie is the first pet I ever owned by myself, so I wanted to give her a name that was particularly special,” she says. “And because she makes me so happy, it only felt right for her to share a name with someone whose music has also added so much to my life.”
Senior photo editor Jenny Regan nearly named her mini goldendoodle Robert Plant because the pooch’s golden locks resembled those of the Led Zeppelin singer in his youth. “But [we] didn’t like ‘Robert’ for a dog,” she shares, noting that her husband is a fan of the band. So the pup was named after another member — Jimmy Page.
While not everyone on our staff has a pet named after a famous artist, some of our furbabies do have their own favorite (and least favorite!) songs and musicians. Take kitty Boba, who prefers to never hear Alvin and the Chipmunks’ cover of “I Gotta Feeling” ever again; good boy Riggins, who is partial to Bad Bunny; regal Paco, who prefers Norah Jones’ soothing tunes during thunderstorms; or Murphy, who’s a huge Swiftie, just like her mom.

The youngest members of ARMY will soon have the perfect album of lullabies to fall asleep to. As shared exclusively with Billboard Thursday (March 27), Rockabye Baby is taking on BTS for its next album, featuring calming covers of “Butter,” “Dynamite” and more of the K-pop boy band’s biggest hits.
Dropping April 4, Lullaby Renditions of BTS will feature a total of 13 songs. The tracklist includes Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Permission to Dance” and “Life Goes On” as well as “Boy With Luv,” “IDOL,” “Blood, Sweat & Tears,” “ON,” “DOPE,” “DNA,” “Fake Love,” “Save Me” and “Spring Day.”
The project marks Rockabye Baby’s first K-pop tribute album. The children’s music brand has previously released lullaby collections for artists such as Bad Bunny, Dolly Parton, Shakira, Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé and more.
Trending on Billboard
Rockabye Baby also shared a video of its soothing take on “Dynamite” with Billboard. In the minute-long clip, BTS’ famous melody plays in the form of gentle, cascading xylophone hits as the brand’s teddy bear mascot sets up a stage in his bedroom, recruits his stuffed animals to be his bandmates and tests out his K-pop dance moves.
The sweet project comes amid the septet’s ongoing break as several of the band’s members complete their required service periods in the South Korean military. Jin was the first to be discharged in June, followed by J-Hope in October.
BTS hasn’t released a proper studio in four years, dropping BE in 2020. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, one of seven total LPs from the group to top the chart.
Here’s the tracklist for Lullaby Renditions of BTS:
“Dynamite”
“Butter”
“Boy With Luv”
“IDOL”
“Permission to Dance”
“Blood, Sweat & Tears”
“ON”
“Dope”
“DNA”
“Fake Love”

For the first time in the five-month span of the Top Gabb Music Songs chart, a song stays at No. 1 for more than one month.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” crowns the February 2025 tally as the most-played song on Gabb Wireless phones that month, reigning for a second month in a row after debuting atop the January 2025 tally.
Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.
“Die With a Smile” reigns after rules on the monthly chart for Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” KSI’s “Thick of It” (featuring Trippie Redd) and Jelly Roll’s “Run It” in October-December 2024, respectively.
The Gaga/Mars duet concurrently reigned on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in February 2025, ruling the Feb. 1- and Feb. 15-dated lists, and appears at No. 2 on the most recent tally, dated March 22.
Trending on Billboard
Mars makes it a sweep of Top Gabb Music Songs’ top two, as his and ROSE’s “APT.” jumps 7-2 – a new peak after previously reaching No. 3 on the December 2024 ranking.
No song hits the chart’s top 10 for the first time, though Drake’s “God’s Plan” returns to the region, rising five spots to No. 7 (the song’s peak so far remains No. 4, achieved on the November 2024 tally).
In fact, though all but four songs make some sort of movement on the 25-song February 2025 list versus their January 2025 ordering, just one is a debut: Forrest Frank’s “Drop!,” which bows at No. 19. It’s the first song to appear on the chart that was released in 2025, as it premiered on Jan. 24. The tune started at No. 18 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs survey dated Feb. 8 and appears at No. 33 on the most recent ranking.
