The show, which airs on ABC and commands the largest TV viewership of any non-sports rated show, will now be a bi-coastal affair, with performances by a wide range of top music stars at MGM Resorts venues including Dolby Live at Park MGM, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and Mandalay Bay. Artists confirmed for performances include Lenny Kravitz, these sources add. The West Coast show will coincide with the iconic Times Square ball drop broadcast in New York City.
The performance wraps up an exciting year for Kravitz who dropped his 12th studio album, Blue Electric Light, back in May via Roxie Records/BMG. The project was written and recorded by Kravitz in his studio in the Bahamas, and features the singles âParalyzed,â âTK421â and âHuman.â The collection, he told Jimmy Fallon for a late-night interview that aired in March, is about âcelebration, life, humanity, sexuality, sensuality, spirituality.â Blue Electric Light is âjust that vibration of love, of god, of spirit.â

Linkin Park is heading back on tour with new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong, and the bandâs co-founder Mike Shinoda is opening up about returning to the stage with the group seven years after the untimely death of frontman, Chester Bennington.
In an upcoming interview with The Zach Sang Show alongside Armstrong, Shinoda shared that getting back in the swing of Linkin Park has been âamazing,â despite his initial nervousness. âPart of it is going from the band being an indefinite hiatus or whatever it was â we didnât put names on it, it was just like, âWeâre not doing it anymore.â From it being that to standing on the stage doing it, there were all these weird little moments that were so surreal,â he explained. âGetting in a room and doing it was so cool.â
He added that there were moments that were âstressful,â because he wanted to âset aside enough time for us to get this right,â continuing that with Armstongâs vocal talent, âWe were changing keys on songs we played for 20 years. I had to relearn âBreaking the Habitâ from scratch basically.â

âItâs like, having a thing that you felt like it was taken away and then being able to get it back like, âOh, you canât play shows as Linkin Park anymore,â even though Linkin Park is like Part of my DNA,â he added.
Shinoda concluded by noting, âLinkin Park is part of my DNA. Everybodyâs got a core identity diagram, like, this is who I am. If you were to sit down with a piece of paper and write down the things that make you you, thatâs a crazy exercise when you think about it. Itâs things you love to do, your family, your kids, your spouse, whatever. The things that make you you and your beliefs, right there in the middle of it is Linkin Park for me. There are many other things too, but to have that one out was painful. To have it back in, thereâs nothing like it. There never will be anything like it.â
Ahead of their 2025 tour, Linkin Park is set to drop their eighth studio album, From Zero, on Nov. 15 via Warner Records. Check out the exclusive clip from the interview via Billboard below, and catch the full episode of The Zach Sang Show on Friday (Nov. 15).
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello may not be together as a couple anymore, but theyâll always be in each otherâs lives.
In a new interview with Apple Music 1âs Zane Lowe published Thursday (Nov. 14), the Canadian singer-songwriter opened up about his lifelong friendship with the âHavanaâ musician, whom he dated 2019 to 2021 before they rekindled â and quickly ended â their romance in 2023. âI just think that we really know each other,â he said.
âI think we havenât been the closest over the last couple of years, but I think we really know each other,â he continued. âWeâve spent a lot of time together. We really know each otherâs hearts. So even when all of the sound and all the noise is happening, we can see through each otherâs both pretty easily, and itâs just nice to have that.â
Both Mendes and Cabello have been increasingly open about their former relationship this past year, with the latter confirming on Call Her Daddy in March that theyâd briefly tried to reconnect romantically before breaking up a second time. âI will always care about him and love him. Heâs such a good person,â she said at the time. âIâm lucky âcause some people have exes who are awful, and he is not. Heâs a really kind, good person.â

In September, Mendes added to the conversation by saying on the Jay Shetty Podcast that he and Cabello were âpreserving [their] private little fire of love for each other.â When a fan tweeted after the episode, âthey donât play about each otherâ â in reference to the former flames â the âMercyâ singer replied on X, âno we donât.â
Then, when fans asked him to clarify what he mean, Mendes added, âi guess to be honest it came from a place of being a little annoyed with all the projection over the last few months about us. Iâm usually pretty good at just watching all the ânoiseâ go by but lately itâs been kinda bugging me đ¤ˇđťââď¸ feeling human i guess.â
Mendesâ interview with Lowe comes one day ahead of his fifth studio album, Shawn. The LP was originally supposed to arrive Oct. 18 but was pushed back to Nov. 15 nine days before it was initially intended to come out. The project will follow 2020âs Wonder, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Benson Booneâs âBeautiful Thingsâ tops the first Top Gabb Music Songs chart as the most-played song on Gabb Wireless phones during October 2024.
As announced Nov. 14, Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.
Booneâs âBeautiful Thingsâ leads the inaugural 25-position list, one of two songs from the pop singer-songwriter in the initial top 10. Released in early 2024, âBeautiful Thingsâ peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March and ranks at No. 8 on the latest, Nov. 16-dated survey.

Known not just as a musician but also as a YouTube star, boasting nearly 25 million subscribers, KSIâs latest release reached No. 64 on the Hot 100 dated Oct. 26.
Continuing a trend of genre variety, Hozierâs âToo Sweetâ represents rock/alternative music in Top Gabb Music Songsâ top 10, at No. 4.

NF doesnât stop there; the rapper also boasts the No. 13 song with âMotto,â giving him four total entries on the inaugural Top Gabb Music Songs chart. Thatâs the second-most of any act, behind Imagine Dragons, which has five, led by âBonesâ at No. 16.

Thereâs nothing in this world Cardi B likes more than checks, but that doesnât mean she took any money from the Kamala Harris campaign to attend a rally in Milwaukee.
On Thursday (Nov. 14), the politically outspoken rapper cleared up any misconceptions on the matter with a tweet aimed at conservative commentator Candace Owens, whoâd written on X, âHey @iamcardib â Working on a story and was wondering if you were in any way paid to speak at the Kamala campaign event you spoke at.â
Cardi quickly replied with, âI didnât get paid a dollar and thatâs on my three!!â
âI actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because itâs somewhere I wanted to be..,â the âWAPâ artist continued. âLike please girl you know damn well Iâll argue you down about politics FOR FREE.â
The interaction comes a week after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, beating out the Democratic Harris-Walz ticket. Cardi â as well as numerous other A-list musicians â had staunchly supported the VPâs White House bid, with the Whipshots founder even speaking at a Nov. 1 campaign event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to help drum up some last-minute support.
âLike Kamala Harris, Iâve been the underdog, underestimated, and had my success belittled,â she said at the time. âWomen have to work 10 times harder and still face questions about how we achieved success. I canât stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.â
When Harrisâ campaign efforts proved unsuccessful, Cardi shared an emotional letter to the politician. âThis may not mean much but I am so proud of you!â the hip-hop titan wrote, addressing the former prosecutor directly. âNo one has ever made me change my mind and you did! I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States, but you have shown me, shown my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible.â
Cardi also issued a warning to Trumpâs supporters post-election. âSo you know, Trumpettes, yâall won, I know yâall happy,â she said in a video posted to X Nov. 6. âAinât nobody acting like theyâre the losers. However, yâall need to leave me the fâk alone. Because I got one more fâking cigarette in me before I start lighting your asses up. Aight?â
The âUpâ artistâs history with Owens goes back years before their latest X exchange, with the latter first calling the former âilliterateâ and suggesting that Black Americans should be âinsultedâ by Bidenâs partnership with Cardi in 2020. The two women have sparred multiple times in the years since, but unexpectedly found a fleeting piece of common ground in 2023 when Owens backed up Cardiâs assertion that Brian Szasz â the stepson of a billionaire who died in the Titanic submersible implosion that year â was merely looking for âclout.â
âWe all know this day would come,â Owens tweeted at the time. âFinally, I agree with [Cardi B] and everything she said about the submarine stepson from hell.â
See Cardiâs tweet to Owens below.

All Cher ever needed was Sonny Bono â but for his part, it took the late singer-songwriter a little more time to fall for his famous ex-wife and collaborator.
In a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning, the âIf I Could Turn Back Timeâ musician gave her unfiltered side of the story of first time crossing paths with her Sonny & Cher counterpart. âI thought it was like when Tony met Maria,â she said, recalling how she met him at a coffee shop in 1962. âI mean, everybody disappeared.â
âAnd it was just the two of us,â Cher continued. âBut he didnât like me. It wasnât love at first sight. It was something. I never felt it before.â

But while the âBelieveâ artist was all about Bono from the start, she says he preferred her friend. âHe said, âYou know, you can come and stay with me,’â she reflected. âAnd I was like, âOkay, you know.â And he went, âNo, no, I donât find you particularly attractive.â So, I was upset and happy at the same time.â
Cher was famously 16 when she met a then-27-year-old Sonny, with the couple eventually getting married in â64 and rising to fame via their husband-and-wife band. They split up a decade later and finalized their divorced in 1975, and the former politician died in a 1998 skiing accident at age 62.
While speaking to CBS, Cher also disputed that their age gap ever felt âstrange.â âHe was kind of childish,â she said. âHe got to be with me ⌠because I didnât expect anything. I didnât want money. I didnât think about anything, you know. And all these other women that were his age, they wanted him to be grownup.â
After the dissolution of Sonny & Cher, the Burlesque star nurtured a successful solo career that was recently celebrated by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted her into its 2024 class in October. âI have a kind love hate relationship [with the Rock Hall],â she told Billboard at the time. âBecause I thought, âWhat do I have to fâking do , you know, to be inducted into this place? What do you have to do to be a part of it?ââ
Also in October, Cher lead an all-female lineup of performers at the Victoriaâs Secret Fashion Show. LISA of BLACKPINK also took the catwalk, as did Tyla.
Cher is now gearing up to release the first part of her autobiography, Cher: The Memoir, Nov. 19. Itâs expected to chronicle her childhood and tumultuous marriage to Bono, while the second volume is slated for 2025.
Watch the clip of Cher recounting her earliest memories with Sonny Bono below.
