Zayn Malik Announces New Single ‘Love Like This’ & Release Date: See Video

Mark your calendars, Zayn-iacs. Zayn Malik has finally announced the title and release date of his highly anticipated new song “Love Like This,” his first release since signing with Mercury Records last month.

After teasing the comeback track for a week on social media, the 30-year-old pop star at last revealed that his new era begins later this month — July 21, to be exact. The news comes in the form of a teaser video posted to the singer’s Instagram, featuring a shirtless Malik spray-painting the song’s title onto a wall, along with the date, “7. 21.”

“Love Like This” plays in the background throughout the clip, revealing more of the song’s loved-up lyrics. “I guess there’s love like this/ Usually I never wanna jump like this,” Malik sings on the track, over a chill, uptempo beat. “I guess there’s faith like this/ Give you everything and you can skate like this/ But I think I gotta take that risk ’cause I can not go back/ And I’m loving what you say, what you say, what you say when you’re on my line.”

The new single will mark the former One Direction star’s first solo release since his 2021 album Nobody Is Listening, which preceded a collaboration with Ingrid Michaelson (“To Begin Again”) and a cover of the late Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel.” It’ll also be his first release since departing from former label RCA Records, having signed with Mercury in June. Going forward, Malik’s music will sound notably different from his previous career-defining hits like “Pillowtalk” and his Taylor Swift collaboration “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” sources have told Billboard.

Leading up to the “Love Like This” announcement, the musician had steadily been dropping teaser videos with revealing snippets of the track, including lyrics like “your direction is on my mind.” On one video, Malik’s former bandmate Liam Payne commented: “this sounds big already.”

Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Vampire’ Debuts as Her Third Billboard Hot 100 No. 1

There’s new blood atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, as Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” debuts at No. 1. Rodrigo slays with her third leader, following “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U” in 2021, both of which also launched at No. 1.

With “Vampire” serving as the lead single from Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts, due Sept. 8, after “Drivers License” introduced her first LP, Sour, she is the first artist ever to debut the lead singles from two career-opening albums at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Plus, two songs ascend for their first week each in the Hot 100’s top 10: Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer,” now being promoted as her new single after it was released on her 2019 album, Lover, jumps 13-7 to becomes her 41st top 10 – extending her record among women – and Gunna’s “Fukumean” pushes 12-8, marking his fourth top 10.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated July 15, 2023) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday (July 11). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Streams, airplay & sales: Rodrigo’s “Vampire,” released on Geffen/Interscope Records, drew 35.5 million streams and 26.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (aided by an FCC-friendly radio edit) and sold 26,000 (17,000 sales combined on 7” vinyl, sold for $10, and CD, for $3.50; and 9,000 digital downloads) in its first week, ending July 6, according to Luminate, following its June 30 release.

The song is the 1,150th No. 1 since the Hot 100 began in August 1958, and the 67th to soar in at the summit.

The track likewise debuts at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (as it’s the overall top-selling song of the week, downloads and physical copies combined) and No. 22 on Radio Songs. (It starts at No. 17 on Pop Airplay and No. 22 on Adult Pop Airplay.)

“We always said that it was kind of our version of a rock opera,” Rodrigo told Billboard of “Vampire,” which she wrote with her main collaborator Dan Nigro, who solely produced it. “I think as the album was coming together, we were coming up with a bunch of songs that we really liked, but this one always stuck out to me as something that I felt like was honoring my singer-songwriter roots, but felt like an evolution – in a good way that wasn’t too stark. So, I really liked it for that, and it was always one of my favorites.”

Rodrigo’s 3rd No. 1: “Vampire” is Rodrigo’s third Hot 100 No. 1. “Drivers License” dominated for eight weeks, starting upon its debut in January 2021, and “Good 4 U” ruled for a week in its first frame in May 2021. “Vampire” is her fifth top 10, as her debut album Sour also generated “Deja Vu” (No. 3 peak) and “Traitor” (No. 9). All 11 songs from Sour reached the Hot 100’s top 30.

Leader for lead singles: With “Vampire” the lead single from Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts, expected Sept. 8, after “Drivers License” ushered in Sour, she is the first artist ever to debut the lead single from two career-opening albums at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

‘V’ is for victory: “Vampire” is just the seventh song that begins with the letter “v” to top the Hot 100.

Here the songs that have made such vaunted vaults:

  • “Vampire,” Olivia Rodrigo, 2023
  • “Viva La Vida,” Coldplay, 2008
  • “Vision of Love,” Mariah Carey, 1990
  • “Vogue,” Madonna, 1990
  • “Venus,” Bananarama, 1986
  • “Venus,” The Shocking Blue, 1970
  • “Venus,” Frankie Avalon, 1959

(Strange, but it’s the tooth: Rodrigo has the first Hot 100 hit with the word “vampire” in its title.)

Y is for Y2K: Rodrigo was born Feb. 20, 2003. She is the only artist born in the 2000s with multiple Hot 100 No. 1s.

The other acts born since 2000 to have led the Hot 100: Billie Eilish (“Bad Guy,” 2019); Jawsh 865 (“Savage Love [Laxed – Siren Beat]” with Jason Derulo and BTS, 2020); 24kGoldn (“Mood” featuring Iann Dior, 2020); and The Kid LAROI (“Stay” with Justin Bieber, 2021).

“I think the most change I’ve felt was just as a girl, growing up and changing from being a teenager to a 20-year-old,” Rodrigo mused to Billboard of her evolution over the last two years. “All of the maturing and figuring yourself out, that’s just on a normal human-to-human level – I think that was the most surprising thing for me.”

Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” dips to No. 2 on the Hot 100 following 13 weeks at No. 1, the second-longest command this decade, after Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (15 weeks, 2022). “Last Night” spent the last 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1, the best streak since Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” linked 11 weeks on top all in a row in January-March 2020.

“Last Night” drew 74.5 million in radio reach and 29.8 million streams and sold 8,000 June 30-July 6.

“Last Night” tops Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, which employs the same multimetric methodology as the Hot 100, for a 22nd week, the sixth-longest rule since the chart became an all-encompassing genre reflection in 1958; Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant to Be” spent a record 50 frames at No. 1 in 2017-18.

Plus, “Last Night” adds a sixth week atop Billboard’s Songs of the Summer chart, having ranked at No. 1 each week since the survey returned.

Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” reverses course to No. 3 from its No. 2 Hot 100 high.

Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down” slips to No. 4 from its No. 3 Hot 100 best as it spends a third week atop Radio Songs (92 million, up 2%). The collab concurrently tops the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for a 45th week, extending the longest reign since the ranking began over a year ago (in partnership with music festival and global brand Afro Nation).

Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” retreats 4-5 on the Hot 100, after eight weeks at No. 1 beginning upon its debut in January, and Lil Durk’s “All My Life” featuring J. Cole descends 5-6, after it started at its No. 2 peak, as it tops the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a seventh week each.

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” bounds 13-7 on the Hot 100, with 30.3 million in all-format airplay audience (up 35%), 14.9 million streams (up 11%) and 3,000 sold (essentially even week-over-week).

The song was released on Swift’s 2019 album Lover and is now being promoted as her newest single. It has been gaining momentum in recent weeks, as Swift has been performing it on her current Eras Tour, her first in which she’s been able to spotlight songs from Lover, which was released shortly before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each concert on the tour is divided into 10 acts, encompassing nine of her LPs; the Lover era kicks off the show, with “Cruel Summer” performed in the opening set.

Nearly four years after Lover’s release, “Cruel Summer” becomes the set’s fourth Hot 100 top 10, joining lead single “Me!” featuring Brendon Urie (No. 2 peak); “You Need to Calm Down” (also No. 2); and the title track (No. 10), all in 2019.

“Cruel Summer” is Swift’s 41st career Hot 100 top 10, the second-most among all acts and the most among women.

Most Hot 100 Top 10s:

  • 68, Drake
  • 41, Taylor Swift
  • 38, Madonna
  • 34, The Beatles
  • 32, Rihanna
  • 30, Michael Jackson
  • 29, Elton John
  • 28, Mariah Carey
  • 28, Stevie Wonder
  • 27, Janet Jackson
  • 26, Justin Bieber
  • 25, Lil Wayne
  • 25, Elvis Presley (whose career start predated the Hot 100’s inception)

Gunna’s “Fukumean” charges 12-8 on the Hot 100, driven most heavily by 20.2 million streams, up 12% and boosted by the July 5 premiere of its official video.

The song is the rapper’s fourth Hot 100 top 10, following “Pushin P” with Future and featuring Young Thug (No. 7, January 2022); “Lemonade” with Internet Money and featuring Don Toliver and NAV (No. 6, November 2020); and “Drip Too Hard” with Lil Baby (No. 4, October 2018).

Swift’s “Karma,” featuring Ice Spice, slips 8-9 on the Hot 100, after it soared to its No. 2 high in June following the release of its remix with Ice Spice.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Toosii’s “Favorite Song” falls 6-10, after it hit No. 5.

Madonna Says She’s ‘On The Road to Recovery’ In First Statement Since Hospitalization

Madonna issued her first official statement on Monday morning (July 10) in the wake of her hospitalization last month with what was described as a “serious bacterial infection.” In an Instagram post, Madonna thanked her fans for all their positive energy, prayers and words of healing as she navigates this health issue, while assuring her followers that she is on the mend.

“I have felt your love. I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life,” wrote the 64-year-old singer who spent several days in the ICU in late June, forcing her to postpone her career-spanning Celebration world tour.

While Madonna did not get into detail about what is ailing her or her prognosis, she noted that the very first thing she thought of when she awoke in the hospital was her six children. “My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour,” she continued. “I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.”

For now, though, she said, her focus is on her health and getting stronger. “And I assure you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can!” she promised. “The current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe.” The post also included a picture of Madonna in which she is staring into the camera while wearing a black long-sleeve t-shirt and sparse makeup.

One of her longtime friends, Donatella Versace, commented on the post, writing, “We are with you all the way, Madonna. Thinking of you and sending you love, power and hugs for a speedy recovery. The world can’t wait to see you on stage again!!! I love you very much.”

Following news of her hospitalization, manager Guy Oseary issued an update on June 24. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care,” Oseary wrote. “A full recovery is expected.” At the time, a source close to the situation told Billboard that the singer was already out of the ICU and recovering; Billboard has reached out to reps for Madonna several times since the news broke, but no additional information on her illness or hospitalization has been released to date.

The Celebration Tour was set to launch in Vancouver, B.C. on July 15 at the Rogers Arena. According to Billboard Boxscore, the trek — which was slated to feature a set list covering four decades of hits from a catalog that includes 12 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s and 38 top 10 hits on that chart — was on track to net her more than $100 million. At press time the singer’s official site still listed the original tour dates, with updated routing not yet available.

Joe Jonas Joins Billy Joel for ‘Uptown Girl’ During London Concert: ‘Life Made’

Joe Jonas has made one of the items of his bucket list come true. On Friday (July 7), the Jonas Brothers singer had the chance of a lifetime to perform on stage with Billy Joel at London’s BST Hyde Park, and took fans behind the journey on social media in a video posted to his Instagram.

“I just finished soundcheck. I’m doing something really exciting today. Bucket list. Major bucket list. Quite nervous, but the person I sang with is incredible and made me feel very comfortable,” the 33-year-old said in a video leading up to the performance. “The sun is officially down or just about to be down. I’m walking to stage. My friend is on his last song. Can you hear it? And I’m about to go join him up there. Wish me luck!”

The video then cut to Jonas being introduced and brought onstage for Joel’s 1983 hit “Uptown Girl.” Joel and Jonas joined forces for the single’s infectious ending chorus. “You know I’m in love/ With an uptown girl/ My uptown girl/ You know I’m in love/ With an uptown girl,” the pair finished. After concluding the track, Jonas and Joel embraced for a quick hug before the Disney Channel alum left the stage.

“This still feels unreal,” Jonas captioned the video. “Thank you to my friend @billyjoel for having me on stage to sing ‘Uptown Girl’ with you tonight in Hyde Park. You’ve been a big inspiration to me and this was a bucket list moment. Life made.”

Nicki Minaj Rejected Several Songs She ‘Didn’t Love’ Before Choosing ‘Barbie World’ With Ice Spice

Of course, OG Barb Nicki Minaj was going to be a part of the new Barbie movie, but that doesn’t mean that she was going to hop on just any song that came her way. As she graced the pink carpet for the world premiere of Barbie on Sunday (July 9), Minaj spilled some tea about the process behind her and Ice Spice’s collaboration for the film’s soundtrack.

“There were a couple songs that I didn’t love,” Minaj revealed to Entertainment Tonight. “This ‘Barbie’ sample, I loved it. I just wanted it to have a dope drum, and so the one that they sent me, I loved! And I jumped on it right away.” The song in question was “Barbie World,” a collaboration with New York rapper Ice Spice that featured production contributions from RiotUSA and a sample of AQUA’s seminal “Barbie Girl.”

The rapper also called her inclusion in the project a “very full circle moment.” “I’ve been saying ‘Barbie’ my whole career,” she told ET.

“Barbie World” is currently the highest charting song from the Barbie soundtrack. The song debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Minaj’s 23rd top 10 hit and Ice Spice’s fourth. The soundtrack single also marks the second collaboration between the two artists; the pair linked up earlier this year for a remix of Ice’s “Princess Diana,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100.

In addition to Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, the soundtrack for the Greta Gerwig-helmed film also boasts a slew of pop music’s biggest and brightest stars. Executive produced by Grammy and Oscar winner Mark Ronson, Barbie The Album is set to feature contributions from Dua Lipa, Ryan Gosling, Billie Eilish, Karol G, Lizzo, Khalid, Gayle, Fifty Fifty, Kaliii, Haim, Tame Impala, Charli XCX and more.

Watch Cardi B Twerk in a Bubble Bath & in Front of the Eiffel Tower to ‘Point Me 2’ Remix

No matter where she is in the world, Cardi B will be Cardi B. With a new Instagram video, the rapper shared a compilation of clips showing off her twerking skills in different locations — including none other than the Eiffel Tower in Paris … and her bubble bath.

In the first clip, Cardi B excitedly finds a spot in front of the famous Paris landmark, looking exceptionally casual in a white bathrobe and slippers as she proceeds to throw it back for the camera. In another clip, she squats and twerks in front of her luxurious bed; in another, she wears next to nothing while sensually shaking her stuff in a bubble bath.

“SHE PLAYIN WAP , SHE THROWIN CAT IN THE UBER BLACK !!!…… by the way that’s my bedroom,” Cardi captioned the Saturday (July 8) video, using lyrics from her new “Point Me 2” remix with FendiDa Rapper.

Offset chimed in with a slew of heart-eye emojis in the comment section, further proving to fans that all is well with the couple following the Migos rapper’s recent accusation that Cardi had cheated on him. The pair also seemed to be on good terms at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, cozying up for photos at the Balenciaga runway show.

Prior to PFW, though, Offset sent the rumor mill into a tailspin by alleging on his Instagram Story that his wife had been intimate with another man. But Cardi almost immediately shut it down, saying on Twitter Spaces that a discrete affair would have been implausible in the first place given how famous she is.

“So please boy, stop acting stupid,” she’d added, addressing Offset directly. “Stop acting stupid. Going crazy over a f–king space. Don’t play with me. What the f–k. Stop playing. That’s all I’m gonna motherf–king say.”

Taylor Swift’s ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ Instantly Smashes Two Spotify Records

In the midst of her sold-out Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is making plenty of news off stage as well. On Monday (July 10), Spotify announced that the day the singer released her Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) album she made some history on the streaming service.

According to Spotify, the reimagining of Swift’s 2010 album became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far when it dropped on Friday. The collection that includes the 16 songs from the original and deluxe versions as well as six never-before-heard From the Vault tracks also set another Spotify high-water mark.

The Taylor’s Version of the album featuring such fan favorites as “Dear John,” “Mean,” “Enchanted” and “Back to December” also notched a Spotify record for the most-streamed country album in a single day in Spotify history.

The news came just a few days after Swift had a Speak Now lyrical snafu during the her Eras Tour gig at Kansas City, MO’s Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. During the nightly acoustic section of her career-retrospective show, Swift forgot the words to the album track “Last Kiss” not just one time, but twice.

After singing the first two lines of the opening verse, Swift accidentally jumped ahead to the “July ninth” portion of the second verse before pausing to fess up to her mistake. “Oh my God, the words… We have this rule on this tour where if I mess up a song that I have to play it again some other time on the tour so that I can avenge myself,” she explained to the crowd. “I got too excited, I got too excited. Will you allow me the honor of starting over?”

Then, after restarting and getting through the first three lines with no issues, she stopped once more after worrying that she’d done it again. “Oh my God! No, those are the right lyrics,” Swift said, repeating the opening lines. “I swear that I will not mess this up again! Oh my God! This one, I love this one. Why am I doing this to this song?”

Swift moves on to a pair of shows (July 14-15) at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High next weekend.

Travis Scott Announces ‘Utopia’ Livestream Show Happening at the Pyramids of Giza

Travis Scott is back. The “Pick Up the Phone” rapper is set to launch Utopia, his first studio album in nearly five years, at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. He announced the livestream event through social media posts across Instagram and Twitter on Sunday (July 9).

“Utopia is wherever you are,” he wrote in one of the announcements. The livestream is set to take place July 28 at 9 p.m. Tickets for the in-person event are already sold out.

Scott has remained relatively mum about the details of the show, but in the midst of directing fans to links through which they could purchase tickets, he tweeted “Can’t waitttt to see ya.” On Twitter, just minutes before he officially announced the Giza Pyramids event, Scott tweeted, “Damnnnnnnn I misss y’all,” followed by a relatively uncharacteristic keyboard smash. Both tweets served as Scott’s first major activity on the platform since November.

Utopia will serve as the follow-up to Astroworld, Scott’s third studio album, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned several Billboard Hot 100 hits such as “Sicko Mode” (No. 1), “Stargazing” (No. 8), and “Carousel” (No. 24). Although Scott has appeared as a featured artist on a slew of recent singles — including tracks from the likes of Pharrell Williams (“Down in Atlanta”) and SZA (“Open Arms”) — his last completely unaccompanied singles arrived in 2021. A pair of songs titled “Escape Plan” and “Mafia” were overshadowed by the devastating Astroworld Festival crowd crush that killed 10 people during Scott’s performance. Scott founded the music event in 2018 in his hometown of Houston. On June 29, a Texas grand jury decided against indicting Scott for any crimes related to the fatal crowd crush.

“I’m gonna give away one thing for you tonight, because I got a lot of love for Detroit,” he said while on stage. “So I’m gonna have to tell you that me and Nicki Minaj did our first song together in, like, a really long time. I got a lot of love for her.”

The pair last reunited on Minaj’s 2021 track “Seeing Green,” which also features Lil Wayne. Months prior, when Drake released his album Certified Lover Boy, he sampled the Queens rapper midway through his song “Papi’s Home.”

Despite the occasional rift in their friendship over the years, Drake and Minaj’s chemistry in the studio remains unrivaled. Their collaborations date back to Drake’s “Up All Night” and “I’m So Proud of You,” to Minaj’s “Moment 4 Life” and “Truffle Butter.” In regards to For All the Dogs, details for the release date have been sparse, though Drake acknowledged last week during his tour stop in Chicago that the album was coming “soon.” 

For All the Dogs will follow Drake’s previous albums 2022’s Honestly, Nevermind, and 2021’s Certified Lover Boy, continuing his prolific output over the last few years. “I look around at all these faces, I know it’s summertime, I gotta give you s–t!” he told fans during his Chicago tour stop. I don’t know about these guys that go away three, four, five years and wanna chill out and all that s–t. That’s not me.”

Dua Lipa Stuns in NSFW Look on the ‘Barbie’ Red Carpet: See It

Dua Lipa rolled up to the Barbie world premiere in a dress you definitely wouldn’t see any Mattel doll wearing in the toy aisle.

The 27-year-old pop star, who plays Mermaid Barbie in the highly anticipated Greta Gerwig flick, looked stunning in a sheer, metallic silver gown on the pink carpet at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall Sunday (July 9). Underneath, she wore … well, not much. Other than a pair of white undies, Lipa was bare from chest down.

The “Levitating” singer also shared photos and videos from the event on her Instagram, giving fans allll the angles of the NSFW look. “?BARBIE PREMIERE? LOS ANGELES ? @barbiethemovie @barbiethealbum ?,” wrote Lipa, who contributed an original song called “Dance the Night” to the Barbie soundtrack.

Also on the pink carpet Sunday were fellow soundtrack contributors Nicki Minaj, Ava Max, HAIM and Billie Eilish — the latest musician to join the project with upcoming single “What Was I Made For.” And of course, the film’s main stars Margot Robbie, who plays Barbie, and Ryan Gosling, aka leading man Ken, were present as well, with Robbie decked out in a glamorous vintage look replicated from a real 1960s Barbie doll.

Eilish is also one of several stars lined up to guest on Lipa’s podcast Dua Lipa: At Your Service this year, with BLACKPINK’s Jennie Kim, You star Penn Badgley and drag superstar Sasha Velour also set to make appearances. “I have had the privilege of learning from so many incredible individuals and sharing their remarkable stories over the course of the first two seasons of At Your Service,” Lipa said of the podcast’s third season in a recent press statement. “We’re taking the same approach with season three, while also diving deeper into specific themes tailored to each guest.
