Ariana Grande is blessing Arianators with a seventh studio album titled Eternal Sunshine, which from the teasers the “Yes, And?” singer has been posting on Instagram, takes inspiration from the 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This isn’t the first time that Grande has used her favorite movies as themes for albums of course — she famously paid homage to Mean Girls in the video to 2019’s Thank U, Next.

As for Eternal Sunshine (the film) and Grande, the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper recently posted photos of herself dressed exactly like the film’s character Clementine, played by Kate Winslet, while holding up vinyls of Eternal Sunshine (the album). The most obvious callout to the film is in her teaser video announcement for the single “We Can’t Be Friends,” which shows Grande in a waiting room while going over a consent form that is just like the one from the movie.

What Is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind About?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind asks the question: if you had the option to erase all of the painful memories from a breakup, would you? Winslet’s character Clementine decides she’s going to erase her ex-boyfriend Joel (Jim Carrey) by undergoing a non-invasive procedure that can detect and delete painful memories — ultimately causing her to forget someone completely. When Joel finds out that she’s done this, he decides to go through the procedure as well, but as the painful memories begin to disappear and he can only remember the happy ones, he starts to fall back in love with Clementine all over again.
Other cast members include Kristen Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo and Tom Wilkinson.

Do Earplugs Actually Work At Concerts?
If you’ve ever left a concert or music festival with ringing ears, then you’ve probably experience Tinnitus, which is described by the Iowa Carver College of Medicine as the “perception of sound in the absence of it (such as whistling, buzzing or roaring sounds within the ear or head).” This is just one of the symptoms from music induced hearing loss, which occurs when you’re exposed to high volumes of noise.
Concert earplugs work to minimize hearing damage by muffling sounds and reducing the noise, so your ear cannel doesn’t experience it at full force.

Tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2024 are still available at VividSeats, Seatgeek and StubHub. Ticket packages on resale sites start at $382 and you can choose from three-day passes to single-day tickets as well as VIP packages. Learn more about the festival including its lineup and tickets here.

This year’s PopCan, titled “Legacy! Legacy! Music Collections and Archives,” will be held Mar. 7-9 on the USC University Park campus. For the first time in the annual summit’s 22-year history, Pop Conference will be hosted by the USC Thornton School of Music, in collaboration with the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
“For 22 years the Pop Conference has been an incredible gathering of pop music writers, journalists, critics, scholars and musicians,” says dean of the USC Thornton School of Music Jason King, who serves as the USC conference producer and keynote curator for PopCon. “It’s an unparalleled opportunity to engage in sustained, thoughtful discussion on pop music over the course of a weekend.
Trending on Billboard
“This year’s theme—all about music legacies, archives and collections—is a topical one, given that we’re living in a moment where we are witnessing polarizing cultural debates around the value of history, memory and the past,” King continues. “I’m so happy to bring this conference to USC and Los Angeles.”
The first day of PopCan will be highlighted by A Little Light Under the Sun: The Unstoppable Funky Genius and Cosmic Legacy of George Clinton, in which the icon will discuss “history, legacy and impact in relationship to his personal archives and history,” per programming. On Friday night (Mar. 8), Wendy & Lisa will be in conversation with Timothy Anne Burnside, museum curatorial specialist at the Smithsonian National African American Museum of History and Culture.
In addition, a roundtable discussion “A Seat at the (Mother)Ship: The Reclamation of Women’s Stories in Parliament-Funkadelic” will center and recognize the women who became fundamental in building the legacy of P-Funk. PopCon programming will be rounded out by more panels and discussions, mentorship sessions and performances.
Pop Conference 2024 is free and open to the public, with advance registration here.

The three judges lapped it up.
“Oh, my goodness,” was Lionel Richie’s immediate response. “You do know that your trip was worth it. It was so well executed. I really enjoyed what you did.”
Luke Bryan chimed in: “What I do love is you have a neat personality. You have a neat little aura and vibe going on.”

Katy Perry admitted she was hesitant when she heard the song choice. “Are we being pranked here,” was her initial thought. No, no it wasn’t. “That is one of my favorite songs,” the “Firework” singer continued. “It’s so vulnerable.”
It’s not the 26-year-old’s first rodeo. In 2018, Lee competed in the 15th season of the U.K.’s X Factor, finishing in second place, behind winner Dalton Harris; and participated in the 14th season, reaching the six-chair challenge.
Wearing a red dress, heels and bringing a “vibe” to the Idol auditions, Lee immediately won fans. “You’re fun and a little bit funky,” Perry continued. “Your personality is so big, and sometimes people don’t take you seriously. But when you sing a song and you sing a song like that, then you cut through all of the layers. It doesn’t matter the makeup, it doesn’t matter the outfit. You become Scarlett Lee the artist. The possible next American Idol. You become serious. So I’m taking you seriously. Your soul is shining through.”
It’s three yeses for Lee. And a golden ticket to Hollywood.
Judges Richie, Perry and Bryan and host Ryan Seacrest have all returned for the current, 22nd season of American Idol, which will be Perry’s last, she revealed in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live! ahead of the season premiere on Feb. 18.
The talent show airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
