Disney+ dropped the two-and-a-half minute trailer for the upcoming refresh of The Beatles Anthology series. The beloved documentary chronicling the formation, fame and frenzy surrounding the Fab Four — which was originally broadcast in 1995 in the U.S. and U.K. before being released on video — will make its streaming debut on the service beginning Nov. 26.

The first three episodes will drop that day, followed by parts 4-6 on Nov. 27 and episode 7-9 on Nov. 28. The series has been restored and expanded from eight to nine episodes, including a new ninth ep featuring what a release promised was, “illuminating and previously unreleased footage of Paul, George and Ringo during the creation of the original 1990s Anthology series and music project.”

The series follows John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison as they look back on the legendary band’s eight-year rise to global superstardom, with the Disney+ version slated to feature a new restoration of the footage and a sound mix overseen by the Apple Corps production team working in conjunction with director Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post crew in Wellington, New Zealand.

The trailer opens with the voice of Lennon describing the origins of the group. “I met Paul and said, ‘do you want to join me band?’… Then George joined. Then Ringo joined,” he says. What follows is a whirlwind tour through the group’s early years, with Ringo explaining, “We’ve heard it from everybody else, now you can hear it from us” as archival footage has Lennon lamenting, “the demand on us was tremendous.”

The clip then takes us from a series of high points, the group’s legendary Feb. 1964 Ed Sullivan appearance that launched a million bands to the first-ever major stadium rock show at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1965, which was followed by a second show at Shea that Starr completely forgot about. “I thought we only played there once,” Starr says. “How was it?”

The new ninth chapter finds the then living members — McCartney, Starr and Harrison — regrouping in 1995 to work on the first “new” Beatles song since the group’s split in April 1970, “Free as a Bird.” In addition to the original doc series, The Beatles Anthology project included a four-volume set of double albums (which also contained another “new” song “Real Love”) as well as 2000 coffee table book.

“Nothing will ever break the love we have for each other,” says Lennon, who was murdered by a crazed fan outside his New York apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980. “The Beatles exist without us,” adds Harrison, who died in 2001 of cancer at age 58.

The set is part of the AO Live concert series, where she joins a 2026 bill that also features The Kid LAROI, Spacey Jane, The Veronicas, SOFI TUKKER and Peggy Gou.

According to Ticketmaster, Mastercard cardholders and fans with access to the artist presale can jump in from Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 9 a.m. local time, followed by a Live Nation presale on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 10 a.m. General on-sale begins Friday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. All shows are mobile-ticket only, with a limit of 10 tickets per customer per show.

The Australian run extends Rapp’s busy Bite Me campaign. The album, released Aug. 1, 2025, became her first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200, where it debuted in the top three, and earned her first U.K. No. 1 album on the Official Albums Chart.

The project followed her 2023 debut Snow Angel, which reached No. 44 on the Billboard 200 and scored the biggest first week for a debut album by a female artist that year, helping establish Rapp as a rising pop force beyond her theater and TV fanbase.

Rapp has been touring heavily behind Bite Me across North America in 2025, with the trek scheduled to continue through Europe in March 2026 following her rescheduled U.S. dates this November after a short illness-related postponement.

White will headline the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers matchup at Ford Field in Detroit, while Lil Jon will appear at the Baltimore Ravens-Cincinnati Bengals game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Posty shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Sunday (Nov. 16), featuring a video of himself in Cowboys gear driving a horned semi truck into Dallas.

“Our big secret’s out! The one and only @postmalone will ring in The Salvation Army’s famous #RedKettleKickoff at the Dallas Cowboys halftime show this Thanksgiving on CBS. Let’s make this a Texas-sized kickoff!” the caption read.

Malone added in the comments, “how bout them cowboys?!!”

In a separate statement, the “I Had Some Help” singer added, “I’m from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years. It’s a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people.”

Detroit native Jack White also announced his performance through Instagram on Sunday, sharing a post showing a blue vinyl album being printed, with the record’s circular label highlighting his halftime show appearance. “Hot off the press,” the caption read.

White’s announcement follows news that fellow Detroit artist Eminem, along with his longtime manager Paul Rosenberg, signed a multi-year partnership with the Lions to executive-produce the team’s Thanksgiving halftime show. Slim Shady and Rosenberg will consult on all aspects of the halftime show’s production and presentation, including talent selection, from 2025 through 2027.

Earlier in the week, it was confirmed that Lil Jon will perform during the Bengals-Ravens Thanksgiving night game. The rapper will also appear at the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City earlier that day.

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl spends a sixth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Nov. 22). The set earned 110,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 13 (down 8%), according to Luminate.

The Life of a Showgirl is only the second album in 2025 to spend its first six weeks at No. 1, following Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (which spent its first eight weeks atop the list, of its total 12 at No. 1). Swift’s last album, The Tortured Poets Department, spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 in 2024, of its total 17 weeks atop the list. Three of her albums have led for their first six chart weeks or more, starting with Folklore, which reigned for its first six weeks in 2020, of eight overall weeks at No. 1.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Rosalía earns her first top 10 with the No. 4 debut of LUX, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving hits a new peak as it rises 7-5 and YEONJUN’s debut solo album, NO LABELS PART 01, enters at No. 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new, Nov. 22, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Nov. 18). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

Of The Life of a Showgirl’s 110,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 88,500 (down 10%, equaling 115.91 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a sixth week), album sales comprise 19,000 (up 7%; it holds at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 2,500 (down 32%).

At Nos. 2 and 3 on the Billboard 200, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack trade places as compared to a week ago. The former chart-toppers earned 76,000 equivalent album units (down 2%) and 75,000 units (down 11%), respectively.

Rosalía gets her first top 10 with the No. 4 debut of LUX, as it arrives with a personal-best week of 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 27,000 (equaling 34.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — a career-high streaming week for the artist, as it debuts at No. 9 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 19,000 (her best sales week ever; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Rosalía previously charted one album on the Billboard 200, 2022’s MOTOMAMI, which debuted and peaked at No. 33.

The new album was preceded by the single “Berghain” (with Björk and Yves Tumor), which climbed 21-16 on the most recently published Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart (dated Nov. 15). LUX’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across four different CD boxed sets (each including branded clothing and a copy of the CD) and two different vinyl LPs (one signed by Rosalía), along with a standard CD and digital download album. The physical editions of the album include three additional tracks as compared to the standard digital download and streaming edition.

Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving reaches a new peak on the Billboard 200 as it climbs 7-5 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned (up 11%).

Four former No. 1s follow Dean, as Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend is a non-mover at No. 6 (37,000 equivalent album units, down 5%), SZA’s SOS rises 8-7 (32,000, up 3%), Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? ascends 10-8 (30,000, up 9%), and Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is stationary at No. 9 (nearly 30,000, up less than 1%).

TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s YEONJUN sees his debut project, NO LABELS PART 01, enter at No. 10 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 27,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,000 (equaling 3.24 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were assisted by its availability across multiple CD iterations, each including collectible paper ephemera (some randomized), alongside a standard digital download edition.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER has charted a dozen entries on the Billboard 200, with seven reaching the top 10 and one of those, 2023’s The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION, reaching No. 1.

Pop star Chappell Roan turned to Duolingo to surprise her fans with some Spanish during her debut in Mexico on Saturday (Nov. 15) night at the Corona Capital festival.

“¡Hola, buenas noches! Me llamo Chappell Roan,” said the singer-songwriter to the 75,000 people (according to promoter Ocesa’s figures) gathered around the main stage at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. “Are you ready to get ‘Naked in Manhattan?’” she added in English, referencing her song of the same name.

It was the prelude to a grand celebration filled with the dance and synth-pop hits that have made the young singer one of the most celebrated stars today.

Later, seated on a giant throne while holding a gremlin-shaped toy, she revealed more about her attempts to learn the language. “I’m on day 55 of my Duolingo for Spanish, and I practiced saying that sentence in Spanish, and I’m too embarrassed to try and speak it,” she said shyly before performing “Coffee.”

Hundreds of fans responded by chanting “¡Sí se puede!” (Yes, we can!) in unison to try to encourage her. “Chappell, sister, you’re already Mexican!” shouted another group of supporters to applaud her effort, also in Spanish.

On several occasions, Roan interacted with the audience that eagerly awaited her during the marathon day of the musical feast, which also marked the 2025 closing of her Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things Tour, a title that is reflected in her fairytale gothic aesthetic. 

“I was really nervous to play this show because I’ve never played in Mexico before,” she confessed. “I wasn’t sure, honestly, what the turn out was gonna be, so I’m glad, thank you for showing up, and this is so awesome!”

Throughout the performance, the singer was literally the queen of a castle that filled the stage. Her often theatrical performance reached a surreal climax when the 27-year-old artist also paid homage to the famous Mexican celebration of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), which is held on Nov. 1 and 2 to honor deceased loved ones. 

“I wanted to be a screaming banshee, and so I was like, Il’l be scary cause I feel like Mexico City can handle it,” the artists said. “I literally think this is the only place that can handle me looking like this,” she added about her outfit: a bridal gown with veils and lace, her mouth and teeth stained red to simulate blood. (Banshees are female spirits from Irish folklore, described as messengers of death whose wailing or screaming announces the passing of a close relative.)

An enthusiastic audience sang along to every word of her hits, from “Pink Pony Club” to “Good Luck, Babe.” Even the unreleased single “The Subway” and her cover of Heart’s “Barracuda” were a resounding success. The emotion conveyed by the 2025 Grammy winner for best new artist brought tears to the eyes of many of her fans, who expressed their gratitude for her visit. Roan is set to visit other Latin American countries in 2026 when she participates in the Lollapalooza festivals in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. 

The second day of activities at the Corona Capital festival also included performances by acts such as Vampire Weekend, Aurora, Marina, Mogwai, Alabama Shakes, Jehnny Beth, Haute & Freddy y Half-Alive. Italian star Damiano David canceled his participation last minute due to health reasons, according to a statement released on his social media.

The program was set to continue on Sunday with Linkin Park, the much-anticipated return of Deftones to Mexico, James, AFI, Weezer, Jerry Cantrell, TV on the Radio, and more.

Olivia Dean made her Saturday Night Live debut on Nov. 15, performing two songs from her latest album, The Art of Loving.

The 26-year-old U.K. singer-songwriter and BRIT School alum appeared alongside host Glen Powell, delivering an ebullient rendition of “Man I Need” and a mesmeric performance of “Let Alone the One You Love.”

Both tracks appear on Dean’s sophomore album, The Art of Loving, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 following its September release.

Recently nominated for best new artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, the soul-pop artist opened her set with “Man I Need,” wearing a sparkly gold dress and backed by a full band. She followed with “Let Alone the One You Love,” performing in a flowing pink gown against a matching backdrop.

Dean has built significant crossover momentum in the U.S. in recent months, currently holding four entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 5 hit “Man I Need.”

“I’ve never been somebody who has followed trends or made music because of what else was popular at the time,” Dean told Billboard. “I like old music, I like soul music, I like Motown. That’s what I wanted to make, and in my mind, I’m in my own lane in that way.”

She also recently announced The Art of Loving Tour, slated for next summer. The North American run kicks off in San Francisco on July 10 and includes stops in Los Angeles, New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Atlanta, Toronto, Las Vegas, Boston, and Houston before wrapping in Austin on Aug. 28.

SNL returns on Dec. 6 with actress-comedian Melissa McCarthy as host and musical guest Dijon.

Warren — who just received a Grammy nomination for best new artist — appears in court in a short video premiering alongside an announcement of new tour dates on Friday (Nov. 14); his co-stars include Aniston, Max Greenfield and a child acting as a particularly entitled version of little orphan Annie. The clip is a continuation of a bit he started when announcing the European leg of the tour.

“You are here today because little orphan Annie is suing you, preventing your U.S. tour from happening,” Judge Aniston says to Warren in the scene’s opening, which then has a young redhead going by “Annie” accusing “that little b—-” (Warren) of “stealing my whole brand.”

“I can’t control the fact that both my parents are dead,” Warren says.

Not to worry — the tour will go on! Parodying a dramatic twist, Greenfield strolls in to reveal some pertinent information that’s in favor of Warren’s defense.

“MY FIRST ARENA TOUR!!! presale wednesday and general sale next friday at 10am… see you soon,” Warren wrote in an Instagram post that features the promo clip.

Warren’s 2026 tour begins at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on May 25 and runs through July 15, when he’ll take the stage at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

Ticket presales for Verizon customers and for Citi cardmembers both launch at 10 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Nov. 18 for select shows. For the Verizon presale, more information is available in the MyAccess section of the My Verizon app, or can be found here. For details on the Citi presale, visit the Citi Entertainment website here. (Citi is the official card of the Alex Warren Presents: Little Orphan Alex Live Tour.)

There will be an artist presale on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Fans should register in advance here for access to this presale, and set an alert for 10 a.m. local time to get tickets. VIP packages will be available at this time.

In partnership with PLUS1, Warren is giving $1 from every ticket sold to Camp Kesem, which provides free camp and programs to children whose parents are fighting cancer. Warren’s debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, reached No. 5 and charted in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 for 13 nonconsecutive weeks this year. The set features his Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Ordinary,” plus his singles “Eternity,” “Bloodline” featuring Jelly Roll, “On My Mind” featuring Rosé and “Burning Down” with Joe Jonas.
