Paired with fellow Team Legend artist Nell Simmons, who performed Chaka Khan’s “Sweet Thing,” RENZO delivered a gripping, emotionally nuanced version of the 2021 hit.
Trending on Billboard
Following the performance, coach John Legend praised Nell’s performance as “poised” and “perfection,” but ultimately chose RENZO to move forward.
“Happier Than Ever” was the title track from Billie Eilish’s sophomore album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021. The song itself peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.
RENZO’s raw vocal style brought new weight to the song’s emotional arc, which shifts from gentle melancholy to full-throttle anguish. His performance left the coaches visibly moved, and the audience responded with raucous applause.
Later in the night, Team Legend’s Olivia Kuper Harris also earned a spot in the next round with a sultry rendition of Donna Summer’s “Last Dance,” narrowly edging out Jacquelyn George, who tackled JoJo’s “Too Little Too Late.”
Over on Team Bublé, Adam David took on Allen Stone’s “Unaware” and impressed coach Michael Bublé and winning over Carlos Santiago, who performed Calum Scott’s “You Are the Reason.” In another pairing, Jadyn Cree’s performance of Avril Lavigne’s “Keep Holding On” earned her a spot in the Playoffs, with Bublé noting her voice “cuts through.”
Meanwhile, Team Kelsea’s Knockout between Jaelen Johnston and Hailey Wright saw both artists step up. Hailey brought crowd-pleasing energy to the Patsy Montana classic “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart,” but Jaelen’s take on Noah Kahan’s “Dial Drunk” ultimately secured his win.
The night closed with a dramatic decision on Team Adam, where Conor James’ rendition of Alphaville’s “Forever Young” narrowly beat Darius J.’s high-energy take on Estelle’s “American Boy.” However, Kelsea used her steal to bring Darius onto her team, saying, “I’ve been waiting for this for so long.”
With RENZO’s Knockout victory, Team Legend’s updated lineup heading into the Playoffs includes Ari Camille, BD.ii, Bryson Battle, Olivia Kuper Harris, and RENZO — a stacked roster for the live shows.

Thanks to “Más Que Tú,” Ozuna reaches a new milestone, securing his 35th chart-topping hit on Latin Airplay since the chart’s inception in 1994. He ranks just behind J Balvin, who holds the record with 37 No. 1 hits. The latest chart-topping track comes a year after Ozuna last claimed the peak with “Baccarat,” which spent one week at No. 1 in March 2024.
Kapo, meanwhile, scores his first No. 1 on his sixth chart visit. The Colombian has earned four top 10s, including two No. 2-peaking songs, “Ohnana” last November and “Imagínate,” with Danny Ocean, on the April 5-dated list. The song drops 4-7 on the current ranking.
Notably, in 2025 so far, 11 songs have reached the top on the Latin Airplay chart. While Shakira (“Soltera”) and Karol G “(Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido”) mark the only female presence among those winners, five of those emerge from collaborations between male soloists; all one-week rulers. Here’s the recap of the male collabs:
Title, Artist, Peak Position“Doblexxo,” J Balvin & Feid, March 15“Khe?,” Rauw Alejandro & Romeo Santos, March 29“Háblame Claro,” Yandel & Feid, April 12“Más Que Tú,” Ozuna & Kapo, April 19
Elsewhere, “Más Que Tú” also improves on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart, where it jumps 2-1 for its first week atop.

Weezer have used their last-minute appearance at Coachella to reveal to fans that the band are currently working on a movie.
The Los Angeles rockers were added to the Saturday (April 12) lineup of the festival’s first weekend, joining the bill following cancellations from FKA Twigs and Anitta due to “ongoing visa issues” and “unexpected personal reasons,” respectively. Ed Sheeran was also added to the festival, though he will appear on the second weekend, performing on Saturday afternoon (April 19).
Appearing just days after the wife of bassist Scott Shriner sustained non-life-threatening injuries during a bizarre run-in with Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers that ended in a dramatic shootout, the group’s 12-song set featured no material released past 2008. However, just before performing 1994’s “Undone – The Sweater Song,” frontman Rivers Cuomo revealed the band have been active in the world of film lately.

“We’ve been busy making the Weezer movie back in LA the last couple weeks,” Cuomo told the crowd. “But when Coachella called us up, said, ‘Hey Weezer, could you guys make it out for a surprise appearance?,’ we’re like, ‘Heck yeah!’ It feels so good to be here with you guys and let out these emotions.”

According to further information shared by fans online, members of the Weezer fan club had received correspondence alerting them that the band would be “doing a private filmed merchandise signing for a select few fans, for a TBA video.” Additionally, it was noted that “selected participants will need to sign a release and NDA prior to arriving,” with a shoot date of April 21 being mentioned.
Elsewhere, fans on X (formerly Twitter) had also shared a photo of a “Notice of Filming” that had appeared in Los Angeles for a scripted feature film. The film, which listed a title of Weezer: Security Threat, also named Watch Me Unravel LLC as the production company (which adopted its moniker from a lyric in “Undone – The Sweater Song”), and alerted those in attendance that that the three day shoot from April 7-9 would feature “simulated bullet effects,” “atmospheric smoke,” and more.
While few details have been officially released by Weezer, it makes them the third Californian band to be the focus of an off-kilter film project in recent years. While Stockton’s Pavement are set to be the focus of the genre-defying Pavements from director Alex Ross Perry, Rodeo trio Green Day are in the process of filming New Years Rev, which is inspired by the group and their years of living in a tour van.

A living soloist last logged a longer top 10 span on the Oct. 16, 2021-dated survey, when Tony Bennett’s Love for Sale, with Lady Gaga, debuted at No. 8. It gave the then-95-year-old Bennett a 59-year top 10 stretch, dating to I Left My Heart in San Francisco in October 1962.
As for Carlile, she notched her first top 10 on the Billboard 200 in 2012 with Bear Creek, which debuted and peaked at No. 10 on the June 23, 2012-dated list.

Who Believes in Angels? earned 40,000 equivalent album units in the United States in its opening week (April 4-10), according to Luminate. The album’s sales (36,500) were bolstered by its availability across seven vinyl and five CD variants, including signed versions.
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 April 19, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on April 15.
The new album also takes a bow atop both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, while also opening in the top 10 on Top Album Sales (No. 2), Indie Store Album Sales (No. 2) and Vinyl Albums (No. 3).
John and Carlile ushered in the release of the album with a flurry of media appearances, including CBS News Sunday Morning (CBS, March 30), The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (April 3), Saturday Night Live (NBC, April 5) and the concert special An Evening With Elton John and Brandi Carlile (CBS and Paramount+, April 6), along with interviews with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, NPR and SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, among other outlets.
Meanwhile, the album’s title track extended John’s record for the most top 10s (43) in the history of the Adult Contemporary chart, where it rises to a new No. 9 high on the chart dated April 19.
“Nobody wants another Elton John album like the other 35 [I’ve made],” John recently told Billboard. “This one had to have energy, and it had to have a statement saying: ‘Listen, I’m nearly 78 and I’m gonna be really sounding powerful.’” Said Carlile, “I don’t think it’ll ever really catch up to how incredibly life-affirming this has been for me.”
54 Years of Top 10 Albums: John earned his first Billboard 200 top 10 a little over 54 years ago, when his self-titled album climbed 11-7 on the Jan. 30, 1971-dated chart; it peaked at No. 4 a week later (Feb. 6, 1971). Breaking down John’s 22 top 10s by decade: 13 in the 1970s, two in the 1990s, one in the 2000s, four in the 2010s and two in the 2020s. Who Believes in Angels? is John’s second album with shared artist billing to reach the top 10, following The Union, with Leon Russell, which reached No. 3 in 2010.
John continues to be among elite company of acts with at least 20 top 10-charting albums on the Billboard 200, from March 24, 1956, when the list began publishing on a regular, weekly basis, through the new, April 19, 2025-dated chart. Here’s an updated leaderboard:
