On Tuesday (April 21), Disney unveiled the first teaser for ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the latest installment of the popular musical movie series.
In the new movie — premiering July 10 on Disney Channel and streaming July 11 on Disney+ — Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim return as Addison and Zed, the “zombie-cheerleader power couple” at the heart of the franchise. The actors are also credited as executive producers of the Disney Channel Original Movie, in which they star alongside new castmates Freya Skye as Nova, a “fierce Daywalker,” and Malachi Barton as Victor, a “proud vampire.”

According to a release announcing the film, Addison and Zed’s summer road trip “takes an unexpected detour, landing them in the middle of yet another monster rivalry: Daywalkers vs. Vampires.” As we see in the teaser, Donnelly and Manheim become de facto camp counselors at “the most dangerous summer camp on Earth,” according to Kylee Russell’s Eliza, part of the ensemble that also includes Chandler Kinney as Willa, Julian Lerner as Ray, Swayam Bhatia as Vera, Mekonnen Knife as Vargas, Lisa Chappell as Vampire Eldress and Jonno Roberts as Commander Bright.

ZOMBIES 3 will feature nine new original songs and reprises of two previous hits: “Someday” and “Ain’t No Doubt About It.” The film has an original score composed by Tom Howe and dance sequences choreographed by choreographed by Dondraico Johnson.

After helming the first three installments, director Paul Hoen is back for ZOMBIES 3, which has a screenplay by David Light, Joseph Raso and Josh Cagan and is executive produced by Hoen, Manheim, Donnelly, Light, Raso, Jane Fleming and Mark Ordesky. Mahita P. Simpson serves as co-executive producer alongside co-producer Josh Cagan and producer Skot Bright. ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires is a production from Night Zone Productions Limited.

In the digital age, it may be difficult to find an activity for everyone in the family to do together. There’s something nostalgic for playing foosball, slide hockey and table tennis for parents, while playing billiards, shuffleboard and backgammon can develop a sense of competition and teamwork for kids.

Mewow! Billboard is launching Power Pets, a new feature focusing on musicians’ best friends — no, not the humans — but the furry (and some scaly and feathery!) ones who bring extra joy and companionship to artists. Celebrities will be sharing sweet details about their beloved pets and how their furbabies enrich their lives, and to kick off the first profile is Billboard-charting country star and animal lover Miranda Lambert.
Miranda Lambert may have a Billboard 200-topping album in Platinum, three Grammys, 14 CMAs, 33 ACM Awards and many more accolades to boast about so far in her storied career, but to the country star’s four-legged pals, she’s just Mom.

“All of my animals help keep me grounded,” the singer tells Billboard about her furry family members. “They don’t care what I do for a living. They just love me.”

Trending on Billboard

Not only that, Lambert — who in 2009 founded her non-profit MuttNation, which works to promote pet adoption and the spaying and neutering of pets — has also learned an important lesson from her now 12-year-old dog Bellamy, whom she adopted in 2013 from Big Dog Ranch in Florida. “Patience,” the singer-songwriter reveals. “Bellamy was very shy in the beginning, but he’s opened up.”

Now, her beloved pooch not only travels and tours with her, but also helps Lambert with promoting MuttNation. “He has done a lot of photo shoots with me for my MuttNation line of pet products at Tractor Supply, and all of my proceeds from the line benefit the MuttNation Foundation,” shares the animal advocate. “He’s really patient and listens well, so he’s great at photo shoots.”

Tractor Supply Company, Lambert explains, is partnered with MuttNation’s Relief for Rescues Fund, a donations-at-checkout initiative which was started in 2023 to support shelters and organizations in recovery efforts after natural disasters. “So far, Relief for Rescues has donated close to $1 million to help animal shelters across the country recover from hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, fires and other disasters,” she shares.

That includes the devastating Los Angeles area wildfires that the Los Angeles Times reports destroyed more than 9,500 single-family homes at the beginning of the year. To help displaced animals, MuttNation partnered with Norman’s Rare Guitars to auction off guitars in an effort to raise money for area animal shelters. “To date, we’ve helped nearly 25 organizations, and we know there will be more to do because the recovery process has really only just begun,” says Lambert.

After all, she points out, pet adoption is at the heart of her organization’s mission. “By adopting a shelter pet, you make a meaningful difference — not only in the life of the pet you adopt, but in helping overcrowded shelters and in lowering pet homelessness,” explains Lambert, who over the years has welcomed not only dogs, but also cats, goats and horses into her family. “And it’s no secret that shelter pets make the best pets. We’re working on a lofty project that we’ll announce later this year to encourage people to adopt, so stay tuned for more on that!”

Until then, learn more about Bellamy from the country superstar below.

Name: BellamyAge: 12Hometown: Loxahatchee Groves, Fla.Breed: Comfort retriever muttFavorite food: chickenFavorite toy: He doesn’t really like toys, but he loves cuddling up on his MuttNation throw blanket from Tractor Supply.Favorite nap spot: Wherever I am. He likes to stay close to me!

How did Bellamy come into your life?I adopted Bellamy from a dog rescue, Big Dog Ranch, while I was on tour in 2013. One of my fans, who was super little at the time, made a video asking me to come visit. They gave me a tour of the rescue, and I saw Bellamy and fell in love! He was only about 6 weeks old. 

Who is Bellamy’s best friend, aside from you?He only has one fur sibling left, Cher, so they stick together. 

How does Bellamy get along with your other animals? Does he have any favorite and/or least favorites?The last few years have been hard on the pack, because I’ve had quite a few dogs pass over the Rainbow Bridge. They really were a unit, so we all felt each loss deeply. Cher and Bellamy are my only two dogs left, so they stick together now. Cher’s more of a diva, but Bellamy goes with the flow, so it works out. 

Cher, Bellamy and Miranda Lambert.

Jamie Wright

Does Bellamy join you on tour? If so, what are some of your best adventures together on the road?Yes! Bellamy travels with me a lot. He recently drove out with me to Arizona, where I spent time this winter riding horses. We filmed the music video for “Run” while we were out there, and he had the greatest time. He napped in between takes in the trailer and got to run around the desert and hang out with my horse named Cool while we were filming.

What’s his favorite song?“Old Hippie” by The Bellamy Brothers.

How does Bellamy react when you’re playing your music? He’s so used to it, he doesn’t react at all. He just falls asleep.

What’s your favorite memory of Bellamy so far?I’ve loved getting to see him come out of his shell over the years. Even though I got him when he was a puppy, he was so shy around new people when he was younger. He’s settled into himself now, and is much more confident. 

Share a fun fact about Bellamy!He was named after The Bellamy Brothers.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” leads the Top Gabb Music Songs chart for a third month in a row as the most-played songs on Gabb Wireless phones, but a challenger appears on the March 2025 tally in the form of Benson Boone, whose “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” debuts at No. 2.
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” became the first song in the now-six-month history of Top Gabb Music Songs to stay at No. 1 for more than one month when it reigned on the February 2025 survey; now, it’s the inaugural track to do so for at least three editions.

Trending on Billboard

After enjoying five weeks at No. 1 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year, “Die With a Smile” spent the entirety of March 2025 in the top three of the ranking and appears at No. 3 on the latest chart, dated April 19.

Boone’s “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” however, continues to establish the singer-songwriter as a formidable presence on Top Gabb Music Songs as one of three Boone songs in the top 10 of the March 2025 list. “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” was released on Feb. 27 and debuted at No. 44 on the Hot 100 dated March 15; it’s at No. 47 on the latest chart.

“Beautiful Things,” which led the inaugural Top Gabb Music Songs in October 2024, and “Slow It Down” rank at Nos. 3 and 9, respectively. That makes Boone the second act to occupy at least three positions in the chart’s top 10 at once, following NF, whose “Let You Down,” “Hope” and “The Search” were Nos. 5, 7 and 10, respectively, on the October 2024 tally.

The February 2025-dated chart featured just one debut among its 25 positions. Not so for March 2025; the artist behind that lone bow, Forrest Frank (via “DROP!,” at No. 19), returns again with the second-biggest start after Boone’s “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else”: “Nothing Else,” featuring Thomas Rhett, at No. 7. Like Boone’s new entry, “Nothing Else” was also a late-February release (Feb. 28); it enjoyed a No. 4 debut on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart dated March 15.

The third and final debut of the month belongs to Lady Gaga, whose “Abracadabra” bows at No. 17. “Abracadabra” was also released in February, albeit much earlier (Feb. 3). It reached a peak so far of No. 13 on the Hot 100 dated Feb. 22 and ranks at No. 38 on the most recent tally.

A$AP Rocky‘s grandma is definitely in the Navy. In the rapper’s new Vogue cover story celebrating his upcoming stint as a Met Gala co-chair published Tuesday (April 15), his father’s mother gushed about Rihanna — and more specifically, the impact the Fenty mogul has had on her grandson.
Telling the publication that she’s always known Rocky was destined for big things, Grandma Cathy shared that she’s especially proud of her grandson’s partnership with Rihanna, with whom he shares two young sons. “She loves her some RiRi,” the “F–kin’ Problems” musician said of his grandmother.

“I’m glad that he settled down, and I’m happy with who he settled down with,” said Cathy. “[Rihanna’s] a down-​to-​earth person.”

Trending on Billboard

Ri and Rocky first sparked dating rumors in early 2020, welcoming first son RZA two years later. Little Riot Rose came along 15 months later.

Describing his love for the “Umbrella” singer as “internal, external, infinite, the past, the future,” the Harlem native also shared an update on his kids with Vogue. “The older one, he stays to himself — he likes his books,” he told the publication, adding that Riot, on the other hand, loves attention. “He likes to take stuff from his brother so his brother can chase him.”

The interview comes just a few weeks ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, which Rocky will spearhead alongside co-chairs Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton and Pharrell Williams — all of whom are also gracing different Vogue covers this month. This year’s theme — “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” — will celebrate dandyism and the evolution of Black menswear dating back to the 18th century. (By the way, Ms. Cathy is a big fan of the Euphoria actor. “My grandma got a crush on Colman Domingo,” Rocky told Vogue, with the matriarch confirming, “I love him.”)

Rocky has long been a fashion-first hip-hop star and even designs his own clothing, premiering a collection titled American Sabotage last year. In his 2024 Billboard cover story, the hitmaker called the moment “surreal” while also opening up about his relationship with Ri, saying, “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules.”

“[The relationship] is going great,” he continued at the time. “I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

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.

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.
