Kane Brown Shares His On the Road Essentials, Including Olipop & His Current Gaming Picks

Kane Brown has been having quite a year.

He’s got an entertainer of the year nomination at next week’s ACM Awards plus a sold-out opening weekend for his In the Air Tour — which you can still buy last-minute tickets to through ticketing sites like Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats (get $20 off orders of $200 with the code BB2024) and Seat Geek (first purchases get $10 off orders of $250+ with code BILLBOARD). While traveling on the road, though, the “Thank God” singer has determined what travel necessities he always needs with him — and ShopBillboard was able to learn what he can’t leave home without.

Walking into his dressing room, you can expect to find it stocked with Olipop tonic soda — especially in the flavor orange, the country singer’s favorite. “We drink a lot of Olipop in our house,” he said in an interview with Billboard about his partnership with the brand. The beverage aims to help with digestive health and also includes vitamin C, prebiotics and no artificial sweeteners.

And before he hits the stage, you can expect him and his team to hype up to music — specifically 2000s throwbacks like Mariah Carey (a personal favorite of his wife). “It used to be heavy metal and now we’ve switched a full 360, and now it’s old-school throwbacks,” he says. “Not really old-school, but year 2000 throwbacks. I usually just put it on a playlist and go through it. There’s been a lot of TLC, randomly. The Black Eyed Peas usually gets us pretty hype.”

The 41-year-old rapper wore a golden yellow Marni minidress that resembled an oil painting and was adorned with 3-D multi-colored flowers. She completed her look with blunt bangs and an arched bubble ponytail that was held together by smaller flowers, plus a matching yellow purse and heels.

Minaj walked the red carpet accompanied by Francesco Risso, the creative director for Marni.

This year’s Met Gala celebrated the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with the dress code being “The Garden of Time.” Bad BunnyJennifer LopezZendaya and Chris Hemsworth were this year’s co-hosts.

Minaj stopped by the Met Gala in the midst of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which will resume Wednesday at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center. The international jaunt will begin its European leg on May 23 at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome. During her May 1 stop at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, Minaj brought out Cyndi Lauper to perform “Pink Friday Girls” for the first time together, which heavily samples the former’s 1983 anthem “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”

She released her last album Pink Friday 2 on Dec. 8 via Young Money and Republic Records, and it topped both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, spending three weeks at No. 1 on the latter chart.

Cardi B Sweeps the Floor with Voluminous Black Tulle Gown at 2024 Met Gala

Cardi B shut down the green carpet of the 2024 Met Gala Monday evening (May 6) with her massive black ball gown.

Several tuxedo-clad men fluffed out Cardi’s larger-than-life gown, completely covering the carpet at the bottom of the infamous steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s a fitting entrance considering the 31-year-old rapper was completely covered in black umbrellas earlier in the evening to conceal her dramatic look before the grand reveal. Meanwhile, glimmers of green added a nice pop of color to her elegant ensemble, from her diamond and emerald jewelry to her green bottom eyeliner to her classic razor-sharp nails.

This year’s Met Gala is celebrating the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with the dress code being “The Garden of Time.” Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya and Chris Hemsworth are this year’s co-hosts.

“I feel like the Met Gala is almost like going to the Grammys,” Cardi told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview. “It’s very nerve-racking, and even though we make it look so easy, we really be so nervous.”

Cardi’s last solo single “Enough (Miami)” debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her 12th top 10 hit on the all-genre songs chart. She recently collaborated with Shakira, who also attended the Met Gala, on “Puntería.” The collaborators were filmed catching up on the Met red carpet, grabbing each other’s hands and admiring their voluminous ensembles, with Shakira contrasting in red to Cardi’s black dress.

Tyla Ditches the Water for Sandy Gown in Met Gala Debut

Despite making a major splash last summer with her Billboard Hot 100 top 10 smash “Water,” Tyla went for a different classical element for her debut at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday evening (May 6).

I walked with Balmain, it’s my first time at the Met,” she told Met Gala red carpet host La La Anthony. “It feels amazing, I’m so excited to go inside and see all the pictures when I go home…. I just love the outfit and how everything turned out.”

Every Eurovision Song to Chart on the Billboard Hot 100: ABBA, Rosa Linn & More

Hundreds of songs have been entered into Eurovision Song Contest since its inaugural competition in 1956, but only a dozen have ever reached so much overseas popularity as to chart on the United States Billboard Hot 100.

Rare as it may be, though, a handful of original songs — which are submitted for competition by hand-picked artists from European and nearby territories ever year — have indeed made the cut over the decades, starting with Domenico Modugno’s “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)” reaching the chart two years after Eurovision’s inception. Since then, entries have only graced the Hot 100 intermittently, with long stretches of time sometimes passing in between one EVC hit and the next. For instance, it took more than 20 years after Gina G’s “Ooh Aah… Just a Little Bit” peaked in the chart’s top 40 in 1997 for another contestant to hit the milestone, a dry spell that only ended in 2021, thanks to Duncan Laurence’s “Arcade.”

It’s also worth noting that winning Eurovision doesn’t necessarily mean a song will become a Hot 100 hit. In fact, most of the tracks that have swept the competition over the years never ended up finding success on the chart, whereas many of the ones that did finished below first place in the televised contest. It goes to show how massive of an opportunity Eurovision can be for musicians regardless of who wins and who loses, having giving everyone from ABBA to Rosa Linn a chance to get their music on the world’s stage.

From 1958 to now, keep reading to see a full list of every Eurovision song that’s ever charted on the Hot 100 below.
