The special will follow Franklin and how he approaches making new friends since his dad has a military job and his family moves often. In a clip shared exclusively with Billboard, Franklin teaches Charlie Brown about his favorite artists. “My favorites are Stevie Wonder, Little Richard and, of course, the Godfather of Soul, James Brown,” Franklin tells Charlie, before jokingly asking him if he’s related to the icon given their shared last name.
“Here’s what I’m into lately,” Franklin continues, before putting a John Coltrane vinyl on the record player. “Listen closely, Charlie Brown. Jazz has harmonies that stay consistent, but pay attention. It has other parts that are always being improvised.”
Charlie Brown quickly gets into the groove, as the duo end up dancing together. Franklin’s inclusion in the Peanuts squad is historic and one to be celebrated, as he was the first Black Peanuts character to be introduced in the comics in 1968. That year, following Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, the series’ creator Charles M. Schulz received a letter from schoolteacher Harriet Glickman expressing concern about the lack of diversity in the Peanuts comic strip. Soon after, Schulz created Franklin.
In addition to the special, out on Apple TV+ starting on Feb. 16, Apple Music will be releasing on the same day a full collection of Franklin’s favorite songs. Snoopy Presents: Franklin’s Record Collection features tracks from Chuck Berry and Ben E. King to Bill Withers, Nina Simone, Sam Cooke and beyond.

Folk singer-songwriter Allison Russell made history with her first Grammy win this year for best American roots performance. While her win presents a cause to celebrate for many, some in Tennessee’s statehouse aren’t interested in congratulating the singer.
On Monday (Feb. 12), Tennessee Democratic Rep. Justin Jones criticized the House Republican Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison for blocking a resolution he proposed to honor Russell for her first win at the Grammys. While a similar resolution honoring Paramore for winning two Grammys — for best rock album and best alternative music performance, respectively — passed, Faison objected to the resolution honoring Russell, removing the resolution from the chamber’s consent calendar.
Rep. Jones vented his frustrations on X about his colleagues snubbing Russell. “Tonight my Republican colleagues blocked a resolution honoring Black American Roots artist Allison Russell for her first Grammy win,” he wrote. “[She] has worked tirelessly to foster an inclusive Nashville through her music and continues to make Black History here in Tennessee.”
Trending on Billboard
In response, Russell thanked the representative, as well as Rep. Gloria Johnson, for standing up to Faison. “That you & [Rep. Johnson] presented this resolution is a high honour,” she wrote. “That the TN GOP blocked it, I take as a compliment. Their bigotry, sadly, is on relentless display. We have a chance this year to make a real change in TN.”
Billboard has reached out to representatives for Russell for additional comment.
Both Russell and Paramore’s Hayley Williams have been outspoken against Tennessee Republicans, specifically calling out a pair of anti-LGBTQ bills that passed in March 2023, which effectively banned gender-affirming care for transgender youth throughout the state and banned public drag performances. While the so-called drag ban has since been deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge, the state’s ban of gender-affirming care was upheld by a federal court in September 2023.
In protest of the Tennessee legislature passing these anti-LGBTQ laws, Russell helped organize Love Rising, a benefit concert for the LGBTQ community that took place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on March 20. Williams served as one of the headliners for the event, alongside Russell, Maren Morris, Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow and more.
Speaking to Billboard last year, Russell thanked Williams specifically for participating in Love Rising. “It’s people like Hayley [Williams] taking a red-eye flight to come back from opening for Taylor Swift, because she said she’d rather die than not be there to support the trans and drag community in Tennessee,” she said. “These incredible allies are so important.”

Start warming up your voice with a quick “Do-Re-Mi,” because this week’s epsiode of RuPaul’s Drag Race is bound to be one of your “Favorite Things” — a Rusical challenge!
In an exclusive first look shared with Billboard on Thursday (Feb. 15), the queens of season 16 are gearing up to perform in their very own parody show, The Sound of Rusic. Based around the 1959 Rogers & Hammerstein musical (and its iconic 1964 film adaptation starring Julie Andrews), the annual Rusical immediately begins stirring up tensions between the queens in the new clip.
Tasked by RuPaul to cast themselves in the production, Plasma and Morphine Love Dion both reveal to the audience that they intend to play the lead role of Mariah. “It’s, like, the reason the show has a heartbeat,” Plasma says in her confessional. Morphine quickly jumps in to add that she’s not giving up the part without a fight: “I’m just tired of being safe, so I know from the get-go, ‘B–ch, I need a leading role.’”

But before we get to see their inevitable confrontation over the lead role, two other queens — Q and Megami — begin squabbling over the part of the “Baroness Braun,” described by Xunami Muse as the show’s villain. As both queens refuse to back down from their first choice, Plane Jane finally breaks the tension by calling for a high-stakes game of rock, paper, scissors for the role. In one round, Q covers Megami’s rock with her paper, earning the nefarious part for herself.
Speaking to Billboard last year, Drag Race executive producer Tom Campbell said that the beloved challenge format was originally intended to be “a one and done challenge” for the queens of season 6, before the producers recognized how fruitful an annual Rusical could be. “This challenge, and Drag Race itself, is like a healthy tree that grew through a crack in the sidewalk — it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t fit the algorithm, but it touches people’s hearts and and that’s what’s important.”
Episode seven of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 16 premieres Friday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ET on MTV. Watch the exclusive teaser clip above.

The look comes in 25 colors including basic and statement shades like black, white, gray as well as yellow, orange, red, pink and more. Since it’s designed with an oversized fit, most reviewers suggest sizing down to prevent it from looking overly baggy.
“I typically go for a size large, because I like things oversized… but it looked like I was wearing my grandpas overalls 😂😂 so I exchanged them for a small, and it was PERFECT,” described another Free People reviewer. “Seriously, so insanely comfy. I want to get one of these for every day of the week. I’m telling everyone I know to get a pair. Obsessed.”
