Last week, it was revealed that Steven Yeun was cast in a mystery role in Marvel Studio’s Thunderbolts film, and while we wait to see who he’ll be playing, a new Netflix series has Yeun in an entirely different kind of dramedy.

Netflix just released the trailer for their upcoming series, BEEF, which pits Steven Yeun against a suburban housewife on the brink, Ali Wong. Both going through their own personal struggles, Yeun and Wong unintentionally cross paths and turn a simple case of road rage into a long and drawn out personal conflict that leads to them looking to one-up each other and inflict as much pain and discomfort on the other as possible.

Whether it’s invading their personal space or destruction of personal property, the two go to great lengths to show one another that they’re not the ones to f*ck with, and it’s on sight regardless of who’s around. Needless to say, the A24 produced comedy is definitely a show to keep an eye out for as it promises to be one helluva ride.

Check out the trailer to BEEF below, and let us know if you’ll be checking for this when it debuts on Netflix April 6 in the comments below.

Morgan Wallen’s ‘’98 Braves’ Is a Hit With Listeners – And the Atlanta Braves

Twenty-five years after coming up short of their ultimate goal, the ’98 Braves are scoring more wins.

Morgan Wallen’s “’98 Braves” is a bittersweet ode to Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves, who won 106 regular-season games in 1998 — a single-season best over the franchise’s century-and-a-half history (including its eras as the Milwaukee and Boston Braves) — but didn’t win the World Series that year. The track debuts on the March 18-dated Billboard Hot 100 at No. 27 (a fitting number when it comes to baseball).

Morgan, who co-wrote the song with John Byron, Josh Miller and Travis Wood, sings to his long-lost love, “Just like that season, girl, you and me didn’t end with a ring on a hand.”

The track also starts at No. 11 on Hot Country Songs and No. 56 on Country Airplay – where it’s one of six songs from Wallen’s new 36-cut album that, released March 3, launches as his second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the largest streaming week ever for a country title. It also boasts the biggest week by equivalent album units for any album, among all genres, in 2023: 501,000 in the United States through March 9, according to Luminate.

Concurrently, the LP’s “Last Night” becomes Wallen’s first No. 1 on the Hot 100. He also claims five of the top 10 – becoming the first core country act to infuse half the top 10 in a single week – and sends all 36 songs on the set onto the Hot 100, rewriting the record for the most simultaneous entries in the chart’s history.

“’98 Braves” starts with 15.6 million official streams and 1,300 sold – as well as 891,000 in radio airplay audience, a notable sum given that it’s not being actively promoted by Republic/Big Loud Records to radio; the new album’s title cut is being worked to country and bounds 36-25 on the Country Airplay chart, joining “Last Night” (41-29), which is being promoted to pop and adult radio and ranks at No. 32 on Pop Airplay and No. 40 on Adult Pop Airplay.

Unsurprisingly, Atlanta’s Country Airplay reporters WKHX and WUBL are leading the way at radio on “’98 Braves.”

“We think it’s a great song,” says Mike Moore, program director of Cumulus-owned WKHX. “It talks about our hometown team and we’re about to start baseball season. What’s not to like?”

“‘’98 Braves’ hits at the heart of country music: It’s about a love that couldn’t make it through to the end, like the ’98 Braves,” muses Meg Stevens, WUBL pd and senior vp of programming for iHeartMedia Atlanta. “The song is well-crafted story with so many great lines, like, ‘If we were a team and love was a game, we’d have been the ’98 Braves.’ We’ve had great feedback. Listeners – longtime Braves fans – love Morgan. It’s a no-brainer for us.”

The song’s inherent fandom and heartbreak – The ’98 Braves swept the Chicago Cubs in the National League Division Series before falling in the NL Championship Series to San Diego (“As fate would have it, that Atlanta magic got put out by them damn Padres,” Wallen rues in it) – is authentic. Co-writer Miller “grew up in that ’90s era when they were so good and baseball was my life. Chipper Jones was my childhood hero and I always wore No. 10 playing ball because of him. I’ve got the rookie cards, the autographs, the whole nine. I believe Morgan pulls for the Braves and grew up playing ball, too.”

No surprise then that Miller, with Byron and Wood, worked his favorite player, among other ’98 Braves, into the song’s clever lyrics: “Between them Big Three pitchers, Andruw (Jones) and Chipper, it was gonna be hard to keep up with the Joneses.”

Despite a rich history of baseball hits in the musical field – Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days,” John Fogerty’s “Centerfield,” Alabama’s “The Cheap Seats,” Kenny Rogers’ “The Greatest” (with a shoutout to pop-rockers The Outfield) – Miller says that those weren’t his inspiration for “’98 Braves.” The team itself was – and perhaps its creation helped spark championship Atlanta magic after all.

“I think I was singing in the shower when I came up with the, ‘If we were a team, and love was a game, we’d have been the ’98 Braves’ hook,” he recalls. “I think I had just been watching a lot of Braves games and felt nostalgic. The idea kinda just fell on me. I threw it in my phone in May 2021, we wrote it in June 2021, Morgan cut it soon after – and the Braves won their first World Series in 25 years after that.” (“Sidenote,” Miller shares, “I was able to take my dad to game five.”)

Miller – who also co-penned Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant To Be,” which notched a record 50 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart – remembers that he, Byron and Wood were subsequently batting around song ideas. “When I finally got to [‘’98 Braves’] in my phone,” he says, they “were both like, ‘Yep, that’s what we’re doing.’ I definitely wrote it on the right day with the right guys. They’re a couple of my favorites and handled that idea with care.”

Also fans of the song? The ’23 Braves.

Despite its journey-is-the-destination theme – and since the Braves are only a year removed from winning it all (as they did in Atlanta in 1995, adding to World Series titles won in Milwaukee in 1957 and Boston in 1914) – the song seems a strong bet to be in the lineup when Wallen’s One Night at a Time World Tour, set to run through Oct. 7 (four days after MLB’s postseason is scheduled to begin), hits the home of the Braves June 2.

“It’s incredibly cool to have a chart hit written about the Braves,” says Derek Schiller, Atlanta Braves president and CEO. “We are looking forward to hearing Morgan Wallen play it live when his tour comes to Truist Park.”

Charlie Puth Kisses Sabrina Carpenter in Teaser for Their Upcoming Collab

Charlie Puth and Sabrina Carpenter shocked fans on Wednesday (March 15) by locking lips in the TikTok teaser for what appears to be a new collab.

In the clip posted to the “Charlie Be Quiet!” singer’s TikTok account, the two pop stars get flirty as she attempts to feed him a candy heart while they’re surrounded by candles. “I always knew you had a tiny, tiny heart,” Puth banters before piano notes play over the scene and they lean in for the kiss.

The TikTok sensation cryptically captioned the video “3.31” and tagged both Carpenter and Dan + Shay, but fans weren’t quite sure what to make of the whole thing. “IM SORRY DID I JUST WITNESS SABRINA CARPENTER AND CHARLIE PUTH KISS?!?” one follower asked in all caps in the comments, while a second wrote, “I DON’T KNOW IF I WANT TO BE SABRINA OR IF I WANT TO BE CHARLIE.”

Other fans expressed concern over Puth’s relationship with girlfriend Brooke Sansone, which he confirmed back in December on his 31st birthday. “EXCUSE YOU WHAT ABOUT BROOKE,” one demanded. Another joked, “SHAWN MENDEZ [sic] PUNCHING THE AIR RIGHT NOW” in reference to the recent online chatter that Carpenter could possibly be dating Shawn Mendes.

The Charlie artist didn’t hint at a song title or any other details regarding his collaboration with the “Nonsense” singer, but the latter is already dropping the deluxe edition of her 2022 album Emails I Can’t Send this Friday (March 17) containing four new bonus tracks. Meanwhile, Puth most recently announced he’ll be hitting the road this spring for The Charlie Live Experience.

Watch Puth and Carpenter canoodle over a candy heart while you brace yourself for what’s coming at the end of the month below.

Ben Affleck Gushes About Jennifer Lopez’s Support: ‘She’s Looking Out For Me’

Ben Affleck is filled with appreciation for his wife, Jennifer Lopez. The actor sat down for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, published on Thursday (March 16), and gushed about the guidance that the “Let’s Get Loud” singer has been able to provide him with after a few difficult years in the public eye.

When asked about his absence from social media — and why he chooses to stay offline — Affleck remarked, “My wife’s a genius at that. I don’t know if there’s anybody who understands Instagram better than her.”

The two-time Oscar winner added that Lopez came to a few conclusions regarding why he keeps his life out of the public eye. “She thinks that because of experiences that I’ve had, I’ve become very guarded. And she’s right. I view these things as landmines, where if you say one wrong thing, your career might be over,” Affleck mused. “I had a really painful experience where I did an interview where I was really vulnerable, and the entire pickup was something that was not only not right, it was actually the opposite of what I meant.”

The painful experience in question is regarding Affleck’s 2021 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, in which he linked his drinking to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The actor clarified his comments later that year during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, stating that articles were spun around for “clickbait” and twisted his words into him blaming his wife for his drinking.

“To be clear, my behavior is my responsibility entirely. The point that I was trying to make was a sad one,” the 50-year-old said in the new Hollywood Reporter interview. “I was trying to say, ‘Hey, look, I was drinking too much, and the less happy you become, whether it’s your job, your marriage, it’s just that as your life becomes more difficult, if you’re doing things to fill a hole that aren’t healthy, you’re going to start doing more of those things.’”

Lopez, however, supports him despite the recent events. Affleck continued, “[She] tells me today, ‘Relax, be yourself. Have fun. You’re actually a fun guy who is real and genuine and you just seem so serious.’ Do I seem serious? But as in many things, she’s really right. And she loves me. She’s looking out for me. She’s trying to help me. So it’s like, maybe I ought to f–king listen to her.”

Up next for Affleck is the release of his new, self-directed drama, Air. The film — which follows sports executive Sonny Vaccaro and Nike in their attempts to pursue basketball rookie Michael Jordan for one of fashion’s most lucrative partnerships — is scheduled to premiere at SXSW on March 18, and hit theaters on April 5.

Kali Uchis Earns First Top 10 on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart With ‘Red Moon in Venus’

Kali Uchis scores her first top 10 success on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart as Red Moon in Venus debuts at No. 2 on the list dated March 18. The set, released March 3 via Interscope Records, starts with just over 55,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 9, according to Luminate.

Album sales comprise just over half the 55,000-unit starting sum, with 28,000 units from traditional album sales. Within that group, 14,000 of those album sales were sold on the vinyl format. The five-figure sum there prompts a No. 1 debut for Venus on the Vinyl Albums chart.

27,000 of Venus’ first-week total comes from streaming-equivalent album units, which represents 35.5 million official U.S. on-demand streams of the album’s songs. Track-equivalent album units, meanwhile, account for the negligible units left. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)

As mentioned, Venus is singer-songwriter Kali Uchis’ first top 10 result on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. She previously charted with 2018’s Isolation, which peaked at No. 17 in 2018.

Elsewhere, Venus likewise begins at No. 2 on the Top R&B Albums chart and at No. 4 on the all-genre Billboard 200. Venus is her second visit to the top 10 on the former list, after Isolation debuted and peaked at No. 4. On the latter, Venus secures her first top 10 and easily resets her highest career peak. Isolation, her prior best showing, topped out at No. 32. Kali Uchis also claims another album on her Billboard 200 history, the Spanish-language Sin Miedo (Del Amor y Otros Matrimonios). The set, released in November 2020, reached No. 52 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the Top Latin Albums chart.

Red Moon in Venus contains the previously released track “I Wish You Roses,” which achieved a No. 28 peak on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart last month and re-enters the Hot R&B Songs chart at a new peak of No. 16 this week. Two more Venus cuts show on the latter list thanks to the album debut: “Moonlight” (No. 14) and “Fantasy,” featuring Don Toliver (No. 23).

Bad Bunny Joins James Corden For ‘Carpool Karaoke’

65th GRAMMY Awards - Show

At the current moment, Bad Bunny is on the outs with many of his hardcore fans due to his new alleged relationship with one of the game’s most famous culture vultures, Kendall Jenner. But that isn’t keeping the Puerto Rican superstar from endearing himself to a larger Caucasian audience as he rode with James Corden for some Carpool Karaoke on the Late Late Show.

Riding shotgun with the English comedian, Bad Bunny kicked things off by explaining why he chose such a colorful stage name for himself saying, “My first concept of the artist I wanted to be was this kind of artist that don’t reveal his identity. I wanted to use a bunny mask… I never wanted to be so famous, but then I just went with the flow.”

Luckily he did as women go absolutely nuts whenever they see him (some men too). As for the name, BB said, “A bad bunny, no matter how bad is still looking… cute.”

Well, that’s good enough for us.

After shooting the sh*t for a minute and cracking jokes, the duo went on to sing along to tunes such as Cardi B’s “I Like It,” Ariana Grande’s “Break Free” and of course one of his own cuts, “Dakiti.”

Though they didn’t get into his relationship with the culture vulture, the duo did stop by to check WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio for a quick sparring lesson (Bad Bunny was the WWE 24/7 champion for a minute) before riding off into the sunset to Harry Styles’ “As It Was.”

All in all it was a pretty entertaining ride.

David Byrne Ready to Start Making Sense in Trailer for A24 ‘Stop Making Sense’ Theatrical Re-Release

David Byrne is getting the enormous suit out of storage. The Talking Heads frontman stars in a new promo video from studio A24 revealing that director Jonathan Demme’s landmark 1994 concert film, Stop Making Sense, is getting a reboot via 4K technology.

In the trailer, Byrne, 70, visits his neighborhood dry cleaners with a wrinkled ticket — number A24, naturally — to see if they still have his signature gigantic outfit from the film that many consider to be one of the most eye-catching and important concert movies of all time.

“Hi, I’m picking up. It’s been here for a while,” he tells the cleaner’s owner. “Yeah that’s it!” Byrne enthuses when the plastic-wrapped outfit is pulled from the back. After riding his bike through the New York streets to get his prize home, Byrne slips back into the enormous suit originally built by costume designer Gail Blacker and practices some bendy choreography in a mirror to the strains of “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)” from the band’s 1983 Speaking in Tongues album.

The scene then splits to the original, in which the singer does some of his patented herky-jerky dance moves on stage before the camera seamlessly pans back to his well-lit apartment and the screen reads, “Stop Making Sense 2023.” The original was shot over three nights during four shows at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles in December 1983 and has since been added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

It features the group — including bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz and guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison — performing such now-classics as “Psycho Killer,” “Slippery People,” “Burning Down the House,” “Life During Wartime” and “Once in a Lifetime,” as well as Frantz/Weymouth side project Tom Tom Club’s oft-sampled “Genius of Love” on a spare stage.

A24 celebrated the success of its multiverse dramedy Everything Everywhere All At Once at last weekend’s Academy Awards.

Nicki Minaj Scores Back-to-Back No. 1 Debuts on Hot Rap Songs Chart

Nicki Minaj captures back-to-back No. 1 debuts on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs as her latest single, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” starts at the summit of the chart dated March 18. The track follows Minaj’s last appearance on the list, “Super Freaky Girl,” which likewise opened at No. 1 on its way to an 11-week reign.

With “Sleeze,” Minaj collects her ninth No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. She extends her record as the woman with the most champs in the chart’s history, which dates to 1989, and moves out of a tie with LL Cool J for sole possession of fifth place on the overall leaderboard. Drake, with 27 No. 1s, heads the list, with Lil Wayne (11), Diddy and Kanye West (10 each) next in line.

As “Sleeze” joins the club, here’s a recap of Minaj’s nine chart-toppers on Hot Rap Songs:

Song Title, Artist (if other than Nicki Minaj), Weeks at No. 1, Date Reached No. 1
“Your Love,” eight, July 10, 2010
“Moment 4 Life,” featuring Drake, nine, Feb. 19, 2011
“Make Me Proud,” Drake featuring Nicki Minaj, one, Feb. 11, 2012
“Anaconda,” six, Sept. 6, 2014
“Only,” featuring Drake, Lil Wayne & Chris Brown, one, Dec. 27, 2014
“Trollz,” with 6ix9ine, June 27, 2020
“Do We Have a Problem?,” with Lil Baby, Feb. 19, 2022
“Super Freaky Girl,” 11, Aug. 27, 2022
“Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” one (to date), March 18, 2023

Minaj’s latest champ, notably, follows in its predecessor’s footsteps with the sample of a prominent former hit. “Sleeze” samples Lumidee’s “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh),” a No. 3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2003. “Super Freaky Girl,” meanwhile, sampled the Rick James classic “Super Freak,” which hit No. 3 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 1981.

Plus, the “Sleeze” arrival secures Minaj’s fourth No. 1 debut on the Hot Rap Songs chart, tying her with Travis Scott for the second-most chart-topping starts in the list’s history. The pair trail only Drake, who has launched eight songs at the summit.

“Red Ruby Da Sleeze” traces its No. 1 start on Hot Rap Songs largely to 14 million official U.S. streams in the tracking week ending March 9, according to Luminate. The figure makes for a No. 1 debut on the Rap Streaming Songs chart, where it becomes Minaj’s fifth champ. On the overall Streaming Songs list, “Sleeze” begins at No. 21, in an entrance affected by 15 Morgan Wallen songs above it from the country superstar’s new One Thing at a Time album.

“Sleeze” also sold 41,000 downloads in the same tracking period, making it the top-selling song of the week across all genres. As such, it starts at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart and becomes Minaj’s 13th leader there. With the feat, she ties Drake as the rapper with the most No. 1s on the chart, which began in 2004, and matches Drake and Justin Bieber for the third-most chart-toppers in the list’s history. Taylor Swift leads the count with 25 No. 1s, with Rihanna in second place with 14 champs.

In radio airplay, the final metric that contributes to the Hot Rap Songs chart, “Sleeze” registered 2.7 million in audience impressions across all formats. The song also debuts on the Rhythmic Airplay chart at No. 38.

Elsewhere, “Sleeze” launches at No. 4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 13 on the all-genre Hot 100.

Nickelback Defeats Song-Theft Copyright Lawsuit Over ‘Rockstar’: ‘They Do Not Sound Alike’

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a copyright lawsuit claiming Nickelback ripped off its 2006 hit “Rockstar” from an earlier song called “Rock Star.”

Adopting recommendations from a lower judge, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman ruled that there was zero evidence that Chad Kroeger and the other members of the 2000s rock band ever heard Kirk Johnston’s earlier song – and that the two songs also just didn’t share much overlap.

“Stated simply, they do not sound alike,” the judge wrote in the order adopted Thursday. “Where both songs evoke similar themes, they are rendered dissimilar through the vivid detail of the original expression in Nickelback’s lyrics.”

Johnston, the lead singer of a Texas band called Snowblind Revival, claimed the two songs shared many closely-related lyrics, about rock star lifestyles, making huge amounts of money, and having famous friends. But Thursday’s ruling said that after a review of the lyrics, that accusation at times “borders on the absurd.”

“This includes, for example, any suggestion that the two baseball analogies in Nickelback’s work are evidence that the band copied Johnston’s lyric ‘might buy the Cowboys’ professional football team simply because both are ‘references to sports’,” Judge Pitman wrote.

The only real similarities between the two songs, the judge wrote, were basic cliches — “outlandish stereotypes and images associated with being a huge, famous, rock star” – that cannot be monopolized by any one songwriter.

The judge specifically pointed to a study that reported 17 other popular songs that had shared similar themes about rock stars, ranging from “So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star” by The Byrds in 1966 to “Rockstar” by Poison in 2001.

Attorneys for both sides did not immediately return requests for comment on the decision.

Released on Nickelback’s 2005 album All the Right Reasons, “Rockstar” has not aged well with critics. In 2008, the Guardian said the song “makes literally no sense and is the worst thing of all time.” In 2012, Buzzfeed listed it as the second-worst song ever written, citing it as an example of “why everyone hates Nickelback so much.” But the song was a commercial hit, eventually reaching No. 6 on the Hot 100 in September 2007 and ultimately spending nearly a year on the chart.

Johnston sued in May 2020, claiming the hit song had stolen “substantial portions” of his own “Rock Star,” including the “tempo, song form, melodic structure, harmonic structures, and lyrical themes.”

But in Thursday’s ruling, Judge Pitman said Johnson had failed to show that Nickelback had “access” to his song in order to copy it – a key requirement in any copyright lawsuit. He argued that his band Snowblind Revival had performed at the same venue as Nickelback, but the judge said that was not enough.

“Johnston has presented no probative evidence that defendants had a reasonable opportunity to hear plaintiff’s work.

Without proof that Kroeger or anyone else heard the song, Johnston would have needed to prove that the songs were almost identical – “strikingly similar” in copyright law parlance. And Judge Pitman said he fell very far short of that.

“The Court has conducted a side-by-side examination of the works, carefully listening to and considering all versions of the songs of record,” the judge wrote. “As an ‘ordinary listener,’ the court concludes that a layman would not consider the songs or even their ‘hooks’ to be strikingly similar.”

Rosalía & Rauw Alejandro Get Up Close and Personal in Steamy Teaser for ‘Beso’: Watch

Two days after officially announcing their joint, three-track EP RR (due out March 24), Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro revealed a snippet of one of their upcoming songs “Beso” on Wednesday (March 15).

In a steamy clip posted on Rosalía’s TikTok account, the power couple are seen closely facing each other in bed, as they sing their romantic verses like they’re on the verge of kissing each other. 

It’s the first time that onlookers get to see and hear the pair sing together — and the new reggaeton-pop song already brims with equal parts conviction and seduction. With Rosalía’s breathy, flamenco-laden rasp, and Alejandro’s sensual R&B-laden vocals, their voices meet in perfect harmony.

“Yo necesito otro beso (I need another kiss),” croons Rosalía, and her partner responds “Uno de esos que tú me das (only the ones you give me).” “Estar lejos de ti es el infierno (being away from you is hell),” she sings, “Estar cerca de ti es mi paz (being close to you is my peace),” he responds. The pair then unite their voices, singing, “Yo me voy contigo a matar / No me dejes solo / ¿Pa’ dónde vas, pá dónde vas?” or “I’m going with you to kill / Don’t leave me alone / Where are you going, where are you going?”

Alejandro kicked off his Saturno World Tour last month in the Dominican Republic, and on Thursday and Friday (March 16-17), the Puerto Rican hitmaker will venture to the Tri-State area with New Jersey and New York stops. The trek will continue to Mexico, Central America, and Europe throughout the summer before hitting up South America in the fall.

Earlier this month, Rosalía was recognized as Producer of the Year at the Billboard Women In Music awards. The Spanish idol, who had one of the most successful tours of 2022 with Motomami, will also be headlining some of the biggest festivals around the world such as Coachella, Lollapalooza (Chile, Argentina, Brasil, Paris), Primavera Sounds, Gurtenfestival and more.

On Monday (March 13), the beloved duet revealed the names of their songs of their EP, which also include “Vampiros” and “Promesa.” While RR is their first official release together, the couple have subtly collaborated on each other’s previous projects; Rosalía sang backing vocals on “Dile a Él” from Rauw’s first album, Afrodisiaco (2020) as well as “Corazón Despeinado” from Saturno (2022). Rauw co-wrote some lyrics in Rosalía’s “Chicken Teriyaki” from her Grammy and Latin Grammy-winning 2022 album, Motomami. She also lent her pen on “Caprichoso” from Rauw’s EP Trap Cake, Vol. 2 (2022). 

Check out the eyebrow-raising new teaser for “Beso” below:
