Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200. A week earlier, the song became the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the chart.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” scores a 17th week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey. The ballad first hit No. 1 on the list last September.
The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
“Ordinary” leads the Global 200 with 65.9 million streams (essentially even week-over-week) and 11,000 sold (down 9%) worldwide May 2-8.
The entire Global 200’s top five holds in place from a week earlier: “Die With a Smile” at No. 2, after 18 weeks at No. 1 beginning last September (second only to the 19 weeks at No. 1 for Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” since the chart began); ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” at No. 3, after 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” at No. 4, following three weeks at No. 1 last August; and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” at No. 5, after it logged seven weeks on top in February-April 2024.
“Die With a Smile” adds a 17th week at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S., with 64.8 million streams (down 3%) and 3,000 sold (down 5%) outside the U.S. The song holds the second-longest rule in the chart’s archives:
19 weeks at No. 1, “APT.,” ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
17 weeks, “Die With a Smile,” Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
14 weeks, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey (2021-25)
13 weeks, “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus (2023)
13 weeks, “As It Was,” Harry Styles (2022)
“Ordinary” rises 3-2 for a new Global Excl. U.S. best; “APT.” drops 2-3; JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” keeps at No. 4, after hitting No. 3; and “Birds of a Feather” repeats at No. 5, following three weeks at No. 1 last August.

Say your prayers: Christian music is making a serious comeback.
On the Billboard Hot 100, dated May 10, two Christian songs are making waves: Brandon Lake’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah” ranks at No. 44 in its 11th week on the chart (after reaching No. 40 last week) and Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” jumps from No. 72 to No. 62 in its second week.
Lake and Frank have both emerged as breakout stars in the Christian music world, thanks in part to their growing popularity across social media platforms like TikTok.

Lake has charted 42 songs on the Hot Christian Songs chart, all since 2019. Nine of those reached the top 10 and six hit No. 1. Three of those hits, including “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” spent 20-plus weeks on top.
Trending on Billboard
Frank, meanwhile, first broke onto Billboard’s charts in 2020 as half of the pop duo Surfaces (alongside Colin Padalecki), thanks to their viral hit “Sunday Best.” The TikTok-friendly song climbed to No. 19 on the Hot 100 and even found success at radio, reaching the top 10 of Pop Airplay. Since then, Frank has pivoted to Christian music and quickly became a force in the genre. He’s logged 34 entries on the Hot Christian Songs chart, including six top 10s: “Good Day” (No. 2 peak in 2024); “Up!,” with Connor Price (No. 8, 2024); “Never Get Used to This,” with JVKE (No. 6, 2024); “The Present” (No. 9, January); “Nothing Else,” with Thomas Rhett (No. 4, March); and “Your Way’s Better.” No other artist has charted more songs on the ranking since the beginning of 2022. He also finished 2024 as Billboard’s No. 1 top new Christian artist.
Frank’s album Child of God has also dominated the Top Christian Albums chart, spending 34 weeks and counting at No. 1, making it the fifth-longest-leading No. 1 album this century. He released the set’s follow-up, Child of God II, Friday (May 9).
Christian music has historically had a limited presence on the Hot 100. Dating to when Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart adopted its current multimetric methodology on Dec. 7, 2013 — blending U.S. streams, radio airplay and sales — 52 Christian songs have charted on both the Hot 100 and Hot Christian Songs. But there are some important caveats.
Of those 52 songs, 34 were by Kanye West from his albums Jesus Is King or Donda and one was by DJ Khaled featuring West and Eminem (“Use This Gospel [Remix]”) — both were, of course, already long-established hip-hop acts with a core fanbase outside of Christian music. Another six were religious-themed holiday songs (Carrie Underwood’s “Silent Night,” for example).
That leaves us with just 11 Christian songs that are not tied to the holidays or crossover rap acts:
Artist, Title, Peak Year on the Hot 100:
Carrie Underwood, “Something in the Water,” 2014Craig Wayne Boyd, “The Old Rugged Cross,” 2014Hillsong UNITED, “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” 2014Jordan Smith, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” 2015NEEDTOBREATHE feat. Gavin DeGraw, “Brother,” 2015Jordan Smith, “Mary Did You Know,” 2016Avril Lavigne, “Head Above Water,” 2018NF, “Let You Down,” 2018Lauren Daigle, “You Say,” 2019Brandon Lake, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” 2025Forrest Frank, “Your Way’s Better,” 2025
And there may be more on the way. Two additional Christian tracks are climbing Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 ranking — which lists the 25 songs just below the Hot 100 that haven’t yet debuted: Elevation Worship’s “Praise,” featuring Brandon Lake, Chris Brown and Chandler Moore (No. 20; currently No. 3 on Hot Christian Songs) and Forrest Frank’s “Good Day” (No. 23; peaked at No. 2 on Hot Christian Songs last year).
What makes this specific chart week extra notable for Christian music, though, is that it’s just the second time (since 2013) that two Christian songs are charting simultaneously. It only happened once before on Dec. 27, 2014, when Underwood’s “Something in the Water” and Boyd’s “The Old Rugged Cross” charted together. The latter song, however, spent a week on the chart before dropping off. Unlike that week, Lake’s hit has significant longevity and Frank’s is still on the rise.
For Provident Label Group, which finished 2024 as Billboard‘s No. 1 Top Christian Label and whose roster included Lake and genre powerhouse Elevation Worship, pivoting their marketing efforts to younger demographics has been key to their success.
“Over the past few years, we’ve focused on investing in the future of the genre instead of just seeking to repeat past successes,” said marketing & brand strategy vp Mat Anderson. “For Christian music to thrive in the next 5-10 years, we must attract younger audiences seeking sonically diverse music that authentically reflects their faith and life experiences. We’ve partnered with young artists who offer unique perspectives, enabling them to shape the genre’s future rather than molding them to fit its past. This approach by Provident and others has been highly successful, as the genre’s rapid growth over the past three years demonstrates that Christian music is resonating with new audiences and reengaging previous ones.”
Christian music has, in fact, been rising — and it’s part of a broader trend. According to Luminate’s 2024 year-end report, Christian/Gospel is one of the fastest-growing genres among young audiences in the U.S., with the average listener is spending 19% more time with Christian/Gospel music than in 2022.
Lil Tecca’s journey from Queens kid to chart-climbing artist has always been rooted in authenticity—and now, his signature self-expression is taking shape in a new way. Teaming up with Foot Locker and adidas for their “Stay in Rotation” campaign, Tecca joins a movement designed to spotlight Gen Z’s bold style and sense of community. And for Tecca, the opportunity hit close to home.

“I was ecstatic,” he says, remembering the moment he got the call. “It’s honestly an honor, ’cause I grew up going to Foot Locker with my parents and shopping with adidas. So it’s nothing but a blessing.”
Trending on Billboard
The “Stay in Rotation” campaign leans into the ever-evolving connection between music, fashion, sports, and individuality—something Tecca knows well. With his effortless, genre-fluid sound and a closet full of sneaker heat, the 22-year-old embodies the freedom the campaign promotes. It’s only right he’s helping to spotlight one of adidas’ most buzzworthy silhouettes: the Handball Spezial.
“It’s a real casual shoe with a sleek fit,” he says. “I don’t have to think too much about what I’m putting together with it, ’cause it kind of finishes the fit regardless.”

He’s also bringing that visual energy to the “Stay in Rotation” campaign, which champions individual style and nontraditional self-expression. For Tecca, that means sometimes wearing shoes a size too small— “just because the shoe’s so fire I have to wear it.” Style, for him, is all about taking risks to bring a vision to life.
That carefree versatility mirrors Tecca’s creative process — especially these days. His latest single, “Dark Thoughts,” recently climbed to No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and struck a chord with fans with its introspective tone. But Tecca says the song wasn’t born from a specific moment — it came from routine, from discipline, from sharpening the blade.
“I made that song fresh off the wake-up,” he says. “I wasn’t trying to make something specific; I was just practicing my craft.”
Still, that practice is paying off. Tecca is more focused than ever, building toward the release of his next studio album Dopamine. He describes this new era as “more intentional, more organized,” and filled with a desire to create something great for the people who’ve stuck with him.
And while the music remains central, Tecca’s ambitions stretch far beyond the studio. He’s diving into film, cinematography, and fashion — anything that can add to the full picture of who Lil Tecca is. “Everything around the music that can make it sort of the Valhalla of what people want,” he explains. “I want to show more of what the songs look like.”
One key part of that vision? Sneakers. “They’ve been a passion throughout my whole life,” he says. “Now, they’re definitely a statement silhouette when it comes to picking an outfit. They’re just as important to me as any other part of the look.”
It’s why campaigns like “Stay in Rotation” make sense for Tecca — he’s lived the culture his whole life. Whether it’s classics like the adidas Superstar or standout pairs from Jeremy Scott, kicks have always helped him tell his story. Sometimes he starts a fit from the sneakers, sometimes the top — but whatever the formula, the shoes are non-negotiable.
When asked which of his tracks would best pair with the Handball Spezial, he picks “Show Me Up.” “It’s one of my calmer songs. I see myself on a nighttime walk with those. No one’s seeing me, it’s just me and the world — just trying to do something calm.”
That balance of calm and ambition defines where Lil Tecca is headed next. He’s still the kid who didn’t let himself dream too far beyond what was possible, but now, with the world watching, he’s dreaming bigger than ever—and still staying grounded.
Advice for a younger version of himself? Tecca flips it.
“I’ll give advice for older Tecca: Keep your head down, stay humble, and you still know nothing. That’s the only thing you know.”
Wise words from an artist who’s still evolving — but always in rotation.
Tory Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) was the victim of a prison stabbing on Monday morning (May 12). According to TMZ, Lanez was rushed to a nearby hospital in Bakersfield, Calif., to treat his injuries.

The Canadian singer was reportedly in the prison yard of California Correctional Institution when he was the victim of a brutal attack. Details of the stabbing or the motivation behind the attack remain unclear.
On Friday (May 9), Lanez posted a prison photo with fellow inmates from behind bars and revealed his plans for a Slutty Bass album this summer. “UPDATE : 2025,” he captioned the post. “IYKYK LESS IMPORTANT UPDATE : 2ND ALBUM 100 % RECORDED, MIXED & MASTERED NEW ALBUM. NEW GENRE: SLUTTY BASS SUMMER 2025.”
Trending on Billboard
Lanez continued to detail the genre’s origins: “ALONE AT PROM + MIAMI BASS + ALVIN AND THE MONK$ + SLUTTY DARK RNB VIBES = SLUTTY BASS COMING THIS SUMMER.”
The 32-year-old also dropped his “Lotta Money Ave (Lost Tapes 2017)” single onto streaming services as a gift for fans on Friday.
Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August 2023 after being convicted on three felony counts related to him shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet during a heated dispute outside a Hollywood Hills party in July 2020.
According to prosecutors, Megan got out of a car during the argument and was walking away when Lanez shouted, “Dance, bitch!”, and shot at her feet. The singer was eventually charged in October 2022.
Megan was eventually granted a five-year restraining order against Lanez in January. “I want my restraining order because I haven’t been at peace since I [was] shot,” she said during her emotional testimony on video. “I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.”
In April, Thee Stallion’s attorneys filed for Lanez to be held in contempt of court over “disruptive” and “inflammatory” behavior during a civil case deposition, which reportedly went so bad that it had to be cut short.
“Mr. Peterson made a mockery of the proceedings,” Megan’s attorneys wrote. “Nothing short of a contempt finding and meaningful sanctions will deter Mr. Peterson from continuing to abuse the process.”
The civil case was filed by Megan Thee Stallion in late 2024 against social media personality Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper). Megan claimed that Gramz and Lanez conspired in a “coordinated campaign” to “defame and delegitimize” her in the wake of the 2020 shooting and subsequent trial.
Billboard has reached out to Tory Lanez’s attorney for comment.
Where would music be without the mothers of today’s biggest stars? Thanks to the moms of Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and more stars, we’ll never have to know.
And to celebrate Mother’s Day this year, both the Wicked star and “Lunch” singer joined several other musicians in publicly honoring the women that gave them life Sunday (May 11). On Instagram Stories, Grande posted two old photos of her childhood self with her mom, Joan Grande, and wrote, “My brilliant, beautiful mama.”
“I love you endlessly and always,” added the “Yes, And?” singer.

For Eilish’s part, the nine-time Grammy winner shared a video of her mom, Maggie Baird, and wrote on her Story, “best mom in the world.” “You are so pretty,” Eilish tells the climate activist in the clip as they stand outside, to which Baird sweetly replies, “I love you.”
In addition to celebrating her own mom, Mandy Teefey, Selena Gomez posted a photo of herself with fiancé Benny Blanco and his mom, as well as a snap of the Rare Beauty founder’s cousin Priscilla with her family. “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while.. but their hearts forever and ever,” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “One of my favorites. And I love all the mothers in my life.”
Other stars who showered their mothers with love on social media this holiday include Lizzo — who shared two Instagram snaps with mom Shari and wrote, “I HAVE THEE FINEST MAMA IN THE GAME” — while SZA reshared photos of mom Audrey from a fan account on her Story and gushed, “My beautiful mommyyy ugh …”
Plus, Justin Bieber posted a couple throwback photos from his childhood with his mom, Pattie Mallette, while Miley Cyrus’ mom, Tish, got a big bouquet of pink flowers from youngest daughter Noah Cyrus in a clip posted by the “July” singer on TikTok.
As the stars who spotlighted their moms on social media well know, their lives and careers would not be possible without the women who raised them. A few of those ladies have opened up this past year about the challenges of raising future celebrities, with Teefey and Baird joining Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, as well as Donna Kelce, mother of Travis and Jason Kelce, in talking about the subject for a mom-themed issue of Glamour in October.
“My husband and I are working class actors,” Baird told the publication at the time of raising Eilish and producer FINNEAS. “We eked out a meager living, and it afforded us a lot of time with our kids, which was awesome. But the industry is primarily people like us or even people not even like us who couldn’t even do that. So when all of this happened to our kids, we’d never been on that side of it.”
“We had some moments where I was like, ‘Listen, they can pick up their own suitcases,’” added Knowles, who was crowned Billboard‘s Mother of the Year at the 2025 Women in Music ceremony. “’You look people in the eye, say hello, don’t turn into a diva. That’s not going to work here.’ You have to teach your kids that … because everybody’s trying to handle everything for them and kissing their butts sometimes. And I am like, ‘No, no, no, you’re not helpless.’”
Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” rules the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a 12th total and consecutive week.
Dating to the Hot 100’s Aug. 4, 1958, start, “Luther” now solely boasts the most weeks spent at No. 1 among duets by co-billed lead solo men and women. It breaks out of a tie with Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’ “I’ll Be Missing You” (featuring vocal group 112), which led for 11 weeks in 1997.
“Luther” is also now solely the longest-leading R&B/hip-hop No. 1 on the Hot 100 this decade, surpassing the 11 weeks on top for Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” in 2020. (R&B/hip-hop songs are defined as those that have hit or are eligible for Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.)
“Luther,” whose title is a tribute late R&B luminary Luther Vandross (who is sampled on the song), became Lamar’s sixth Hot 100 No. 1 and SZA’s third. Lamar and SZA each extend their longest career commands on the chart with the song.
Plus, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” spends a record-breaking 44th week in the Hot 100’s top five and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” adds a 90th week in the chart overall, moving to within a week of potentially tying for the longest run all-time.

Justin Bieber made sure Hailey Bieber felt extra appreciated on her very first Mother’s Day as a parent, giving his famous wife a lavish celebration that he shared on Instagram Sunday (May 11).
In one video shared by the pop star, Justin films Hailey while sitting next to her at an outdoor poolside dinner table decked out with flowers, candles and a bowl of tortilla chips as a mariachi quartet enters the frame. As the musicians play their instruments, the Rhode founder covers her mouth with surprise, periodically looking back at her husband and smiling lovingly.
Also on Mother’s Day, Justin shared a carousel of photos of Hailey hanging out in a living room area as hockey plays on the TV. In one shot, the back of 9-month-old Jack Blues’ head is visible in the bottom right corner of the frame.

“Best mommy day gurlie,” the “Yummy” singer captioned the post.
The holiday marked the Biebers’ first time celebrating Mother’s Day since welcoming baby Jack in August, becoming parents six years after tying the knot in 2018. On her own Instagram page, Hailey shared photos from her pregnancy in 2024 as well as more recent snaps of her son’s tiny hands and feet, writing, “i love being your mommy Jack Blues. Happy Mothers Day.”
The couple has deliberately refrained from sharing their child’s face online, but they do keep fans in the loop by sometimes posting photos of Jack that don’t show defining features. In April, the “Peaches” artist uploaded a photo of his son perched on his belly, seemingly ready to start crawling.
Justin and Hailey’s Mother’s Day posts come a few weeks after they attended Coachella together. After returning home to Los Angeles, Justin called out the city’s paparazzi by posting a video of a flock of photographers blocking his path outside as he walked to his car.
“This has to stop,” he captioned the clip, later writing in a follow-up post, “IM CURRENTLY ASKING [GOD] TO HELP ME WITH PATIENCE BECAUSE It CAN BE REALLY HARD TO NOT RIP THESE F–KIN GUYS HEADS OFF.”

Bidot alleged that Wayne’s team kicked her and her 16-year-old daughter out of his house where they had been living at the time on Sunday (May 11).
“I am just recovering from surgery. I am five weeks out from a whole mommy makeover. I can’t even lift boxes. But this man has his assistants coming to help kick us out today, and broke up with me on Mother’s Day through text,” she claimed in a post to her IG Story. “And her birthday’s next weekend. And I leave to New York this week for all the Sports Illustrated press. When I tell you that I am absolutely unsure on how to even process my emotions.”
She went on to allege in a follow-up video that Wayne “laid a f—ing hand” on her in addition to accusing him of emotional abuse throughout their relationship.
“It’s not just the emotional abuse,” Bidot accused. “This man has actually laid a f—ing hand on me. And I took it. And you know what’s crazy is, they always say we’re so stupid for love, and I thought it was a mistake. But I know other women he’s put his hands on.”
Bidot says she was “uprooted” from New York City to live with Wayne and claimed he had “two girls” being flown in as well as a “plethora” of women on his roster.
“I’ve been nothing but supportive to this man, loved him ‘til the end of the world,” she continued. “But, like, you literally flew me, uprooted me from New York City where I was living, and brought me here for this bulls–t. Like, that’s crazy, you guys. Like, these men really be taking advantage.”
The Sports Illustrated model says she is ready to take legal action, soliciting lawyers to reach out to her as she plans to regroup and take her next steps.
Lil Wayne and Denise Bidot met in 2019 and went public with their relationship in 2020. They appeared to split in 2022 but got back together shortly after.

The 2025 senior class of Northeastern University is moving up in the world, but not before getting a proper sendoff from Cardi B, ROSÉ and Ed Sheeran at their commencement ceremony on Sunday (May 11).
As captured in clips filmed by this year’s graduates of the private Boston institution, the three musical superstars all appeared in a pre-taped montage that played on the screens at Fenway Park to congratulate the students on their shared achievement. Waving at the camera as the crowd erupted with surprised cheers, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper said in the video, “I hope whatever you studied for and worked for, it pays off.”
“I hope you guys now enjoy the real world, because college and the real world is very different,” Cardi added, smiling.
Trending on Billboard
For her part, the BLACKPINK star told the graduates, “Wishing everyone the best as you guys start this next chapter,” while Sheeran said, “Congratulations, I hope everyone’s having a good time there.”
All three of the stars are signed to Atlantic Records, whose CEO, Elliot Grainge, delivered this year’s commencement address at the ceremony. A Northeastern alum, the label boss told the class of 2025 that they represent, “a future we haven’t seen, a future we can’t fully imagine, and won’t truly understand, until you build it,” according to Northeastern Global News.
“Each and every one of you were raised on speed, technology and constant evolution,” he added from the podium. “You’ll shape culture, technology, business and politics in ways we can’t yet fathom.”
Grainge is just one of many high-profile music industry figures speaking at graduation ceremonies this year. As previously announced, Usher will deliver the address at Emory University’s commencement on Monday (May 12), while Snoop Dogg is set to do the honors at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business celebration on May 17.
Maggie Rogers also recently shared that she’ll be speaking at the May 16 commencement ceremony for her alma mater, New York University Tisch School of the Arts.
Their video appearance at Northeastern’s commencement comes as both ROSÉ and Sheeran are gearing up for the release of Atlantic’s F1 film soundtrack, on which they will appear alongside Tate McRae, RAYE, Burna Boy, Roddy Rich, Dom Dolla, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red and more. The K-pop performer’s single for the project, “Messy,” dropped Friday (May 8).
Cardi has long been working on her highly anticipated sophomore album, about which she recently gave fans an update. Revealing that the LP has been slowed by its featured artists delaying their contributions, the “WAP” musician said on X Spaces, “I need y’all to hurry up.”
