K-pop idol Jung Kook thanked his fans for showing up early in the morning after they packed the streets for the ‘Today’ show performance of his top solo hits.
Tetris Kelly:
Jung Kook has arrived, and he hit the ‘Today’ show to perform not one, not two, but three songs off his brand-new album ‘GOLDEN.’ We’re taking you there!
New York ARMY was lucky as they got to hear the BTS superstar perform his Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Seven.” One of our staffers was there, up close and personal.
And they were treated to even more from the global pop star. He played ‘3D,’ but most importantly, I can’t get enough of his new song “Standing Next to You.” And when he put that mic down, I knew it was over.
I can’t! Long live Kookie. For all things BTS, keep it locked on Billboard.com.

Timbaland apologized after facing backlash for saying Justin Timberlake should’ve put a “muzzle” on Britney Spears over her memoir.
Tetris Kelly:
Missy Elliott and the internet told Timbaland to keep Britney Spears’ name out his mouth, and it looks like he’s listening. Let us break it down.
In a viral video, Timbaland — longtime collaborator of Justin Timberlake — made comments saying JT should have muzzled Britney Spears after bombshells about the relationship came in her bestselling book, The Woman in Me.
The internet wasn’t happy, with fans munching post at the producer, even saying someone should muzzle him. On IG Live, Timbaland said Missy Elliott texted him to make clear that what he said about Britney Spears wasn’t right and she did not support that behavior.” He has since apologized.
The saying will never get old: Everyone, just leave Britney alone.
Here’s what you can expect at The 57th annual CMA Awards.

Tori Kelly sat down with Billboard News’ Rania Aniftos and opened up about her hospitalization, getting back on the road for her tour, experimenting with new sounds and styles on self-titled EP Tori and more!
Tori Kelly:
“I could be your shelter.” Like, the crowd always has to sing that line. Hey, I’m Tori Kelly, and you’re watching Billboard News.
Rania Aniftos:
I’m Rania Aniftos with Billboard News, and I’m so excited to be here with the super talented, the super beautiful Tori Kelly.
First, how are you feeling after your hospitalization?
Tori Kelly:
I’m feeling good. I’m actually feeling really good. Totally caught me off guard. It was a scary few days, but I’m so happy that I had, like, a really good support system around me. I was mind blown by just all the love and support that I got during that time.
Rania Aniftos:
Beyond fans, Beyoncé sent you flowers.
Tori Kelly:
Beyoncé, yeah, I got a lot of flowers. But when Beyoncé’s flowers showed up it was like, “Oh, yeah, those are obviously from Beyoncé.” They were massive.
Rania Aniftos:
I mean, healing of the body and soul, though.
Tori Kelly:
Seriously yeah, I was like, “I’m good now. I’m good, yeah.”
Rania Aniftos:
I mean, but then you really did get back up and you went right on tour, basically.
Tori Kelly:
It is honestly a dream come true. I was looking forward to this tour for a while. And then I think now with everything that’s happened health wise too, I’m just even more grateful. And it feels even like more emotional being on stage now, and just not wanting to take a single second for granted.

Fans of The Beatles are getting gift after gift this month, starting with the arrival of the yet-unreleased song “Now and Then” late last week and followed by a cheeky Peter Jackson-directed music video for the track. And later this week, expanded reissues of the group’s greatest-hits compilations — known as the Red (1962–1966) and Blue Albums (1967–1970) — will be released.
“Now and Then” is being billed as “the last Beatles song,” and on the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are wondering: Is this truly it? After seeing artists like Prince with a seemingly endless vault of unreleased material, it’s hard to fathom a world that doesn’t include any future unheard Beatles music.
Listen to our conversation about that and much more on the latest episode:
Also on the show, we’ve got oodles of chart news on Taylor Swift’s huge debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as her last re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), launches with the biggest week for an album in nearly a decade. Plus, on the Billboard Hot 100, one of the album’s “From the Vault” songs debuts straight in at No. 1, replacing Swift’s own “Cruel Summer” and garnering Swift her 11th leader.

Billboard takes a look back at when hip-hop superstar Cardi B’s “Okurrr” became so iconic that Pepsi decided to feature it in several Pepsi Super Bowl commercials in 2019.
Evan Burke:
Hip-Hop superstar Cardi B is just as famous for her hits as she is for her bombastic personality. Never did we see that more than when her phrase “Okurrr” became legend in her Pepsi ad. We take you to that moment in today’s Pop Culture Rewind.
“Okurrr,” the phrase used by Cardi B, had gained so much traction on social media she even had to explain it to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.
But in 2019, when Super Bowl time came, she dropped the perfect explanation with a little bit of help. Steve Carell, Lil Jon and more teamed up to say all the ways Pepsi is OK. But really it’s Cardi B’s ad that shined. Oh ma’am, it’s the best kind of word — one from the dictionary of pop culture.
We’ll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
