MrBeast is best known for videos featuring massive cash giveaways and prizes, as well as his charity work. In 2021, he launched a charity that functions as a food bank to feed communities across the US. He also worked with fellow YouTuber Mark Rober to raise more than $24 million for their collaborative fundraiser TeamTrees to plant 20 million trees globally. Their other fundraiser, TeamSeas, raises money to remove 30 million pounds of plastic and trash from oceans, rivers and beaches.
In December 2021, MrBeast won the top award, creator of the year, at the YouTube Streamy Awards for the second year in a row. Both MrBeast and TeamSeas were highlighted in a special segment to showcase their work in the community and for the environment.
For this year’s Streamy Awards, set to take over Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Dec. 4, MrBeast is the top nominee for the second year in a row. He has seven nods, including creator of the year, collaboration, creator for social good and creator product, editing. MrBeast is vying for a record third consecutive win for creator of the year.

Accompanied by her band Y’all, the instrumental ensemble turned into an alternative band to support Clarkson’s rocker vocals, recalling her 2004 hit “Since U Been Gone.”
“You can keep me company/ As long as you don’t care/ I’m only happy when it rains/ You wanna hear about my new obsession?/ I’m riding high upon a deep depression/ I’m only happy when it rains/ (Pour some misery down on me)/ I’m only happy when it rains,” the talk show host passionately sang.
“Only Happy When It Rains” was released as the third single from Garbage’s 1995 self-titled debut album. “Only Happy When It Rains” peaked at No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — the band’s first of so far six appearances on the chart. Garbage’s self-titled album, meanwhile, peaked at No. 20 on the all-genre Billboard 200. It is the band’s longest-charting album on the chart.
