Harry Styles transforms into a tentacled, bearded sea creature in a fishy new music video for his latest single “Music for a Sushi Restaurant.”
The Harry’s House visual just might be the heartthrob’s most high-concept narrative yet, as he saves himself from the sushi chef’s knives by showing off his enviable pipes and becoming an amphibious lounge singer before, well, you just have to watch how the story ends.
While you’re contemplating making sushi out of Styles, we’ve been taking a stroll down the memory lane of his videography and want to know: Which of the singer’s solo videos do you love the absolute most?
Styles released only two music videos from his self-titled debut solo album back in 2017: the high-flying “Sign of the Times” and the elementary school food fight of “Kiwi” filled with kids, cupcakes and an adorable pack of puppies.
When it came time to introduce his sophomore album Fine Line, he opted for something more sensual in the touchy-feely nighttime party that played out in the “Lights Up” video. From there, he fell into hilarious, The Shape of Water-style love with a goldfish in “Adore You” and played a flooding piano in “Falling.”
The beachy “Watermelon Sugar” provided the perfect memories of summer for Harries around the world, and he later enlisted Phoebe Waller-Bridge to dance with him through the old-fashioned treatment for “Treat People With Kindness.”
So far, Styles’ most recent album has featured three music videos — that is, if you don’t count the one he made for just $300 on The Late Late Show With James Corden for album cut “Daylight.” Do you prefer the giant turntable of No. 1 hit “As It Was” or the magical pillow fort of “Late Night Talking”? Or perhaps you’re a fan of Harry as a sea monster with a golden voice.

It’s been four long years since Taylor Swift wrapped her last world tour, and you could say quite a lot has happened in the interim.
Not only has the superstar churned out a mind-boggling amount of musical output — including four albums of original music and re-recordings of 2008’s Fearless and 2012’s Red — but the world has gone through a global pandemic and countless other major events as well. Oh, and did we forget to mention Taylor also debuted her 2020 Sundance documentary Miss Americana, directed her first short film for the 10-minute version of “All Too Well” and very nearly launched her own festival? (RIP LoverFest!)
But on the heels of her latest, record-breaking studio set Midnights, the singer hinted this week during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she’s ready to hit the road again. “I think I should do it,” she teased when host Jimmy Fallon brought up the possibility of going back on tour. “I should do it…When it’s time, we’ll do it.
“I miss it, I really miss it,” Taylor went on. “I really miss, you know, when you write songs and you’re proud of the songs, and you have the fans reacting, the most potent way that you can see them react is when you’re looking into their faces. Do you know what I mean? I miss that a lot.”
So while the “Anti-Hero” singer dreams up a tour that will encompass her Lover, Folklore, Evermore and Midnights eras, we want to know which of Swift’s previous tours is your all-time fave. Did you see her way back in the late 2000s on the Fearless Tour? Do sparks still fly when you listen to the live recording of her 2011 Speak Now World Tour? Was loving her red on 2013’s The Red Tour?
Or are you more partial to the memories from The 1989 World Tour when she trotted out everyone from Ed Sheeran and Lorde to Selena Gomez, Mick Jagger and the U.S. women’s soccer team as special guests on various stops? Then there’s her most recent, unforgettable Reputation Stadium Tour, which saw the icon fearlessly take back her narrative by setting aflame her public reputation and setting a new benchmark for the highest-grossing U.S. tour by a female artist.

Leslie Jordan tragically died Monday (Oct. 24) in a car accident in Los Angeles. As generations of fans mourn the 67-year-old star, we’re looking back at his career and want to know which of Jordan’s many roles is your favorite.
The actor first made a name for himself in the mid-’90s sitcom Hearts Afire, in which he played Lonnie Garr opposite John Ritter, Markie Post and Billy Bob Thornton. The political satire ran for three seasons on CBS, and six years later he gained a whole new audience playing Beverley Leslie — Karen Walker’s hilarious gay rival — on Will & Grace.
In between that classic sitcom’s original airing and 2017 revival, Jordan was also enlisted by Ryan Murphy to enter the universe of American Horror Story, ultimately appearing in three different seasons of the popular anthology series. He debuted in AHS: Coven playing Quentin Fleming, a flamboyant member of the Witches Council who was eventually (spoiler alert!) murdered by Frances Conroy’s Balenciaga-loving Myrtle Snow.
Three seasons later, Jordan was cast on AHS: Roanoke in the dual roles of both medium Cricket Marlowe and re-enactor Ashley Gilbert, putting him in a cast that also included Lady Gaga as a special guest star. His final role in Murphy’s spooky anthology was in AHS: 1984 as the assistant to Leslie Grossman’s Camp Redwood owner Margaret Booth.
Of course, Jordan was perhaps most memorable as himself, providing cheer and entertainment to the world throughout the 2020 pandemic, when his Instagram following grew to more than 5 million people thanks to his heartwarming videos and cultural commentary.

The list includes a powerful collaboration between Yuridia and Ángela Aguilar called “Qué Agonía,” a romantic Mexican ballad about being in love long after a breakup. The track comes to life with beautiful orchestration by an all-female mariachi band among other musicians and sublime harmonies. The single is part of Yuridia’s new album Pa’ Luego Es Tarde, produced by Eden Muñoz.
Additionally, Jhayco’s new single “En La De Ella” recruits Feid and Sech for a new anthem for independent ladies; Alejandra Guzmán not only gets intimate and personal in her new single “TUYA” but also returns to her rocker roots; Colombian hitmakers The Rudeboyz managed to recruit Maluma and Adam Levine for a first-of-its-kind reggaeton dubbed “Ojalá;” and Mexican rapper Snow Tha Product dropped her first album in six years called To Anywhere. “Now that I’m growing up I realize I do deserve to be happy. And even though things are hard sometimes, you need to do what really makes you happy,” she says in the intro, setting up the vibe of the album.
Also in the poll are new releases by Shakira and Ozuna, Natanael Cano and Victor Cibrian, as well as newcomers GALE, Joonti, and Majo Aguilar.

Like clockwork, we’ve reached the end of yet another week, and with the arrival of Friday (Oct. 21) comes a new slate of albums and songs to dive into, including long-awaited releases from Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen and Arctic Monkeys. And as always, Billboard wants to know which new release you’re enjoying the most.
It was a sleepless night for many Swifties, as their queen dropped her 10th studio album, Midnights. And as if the 13-song tracklist including instant faves such as “Anti-Hero,” “Lavender Haze” and “Vigilante Shit” wasn’t enough, the superstar gave fans seven more bonus cuts in the middle of the night, including “The Great War,” “Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” and “Paris.”
The pop cornucopia didn’t stop there, with Jepsen releasing her sixth album The Loneliest Time. Led by “Western Wind,” the sparkling record features a guest assist from Rufus Wainwright on its title track, and serves as a follow-up to the Canadian pop chanteuse’s 2020 full-length of B-sides, Dedicated Side B.
Meghan Trainor is back, as well, returning to the ’60s-style doo-wop roots of her 2015 debut on fifth LP Takin’ It Back. Meanwhile, Tegan and Sara unveiled Crybaby, their first album in three years, as well as their first on new label Mom + Pop.
On the rock front, Arctic Monkeys take The Car for a joyride with singles such as “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball,” “Body Paint” and “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am.” And if you’re in the mood for just a song rather than a full-length, there’s Shakira‘s new collaboration with Ozuna — “Monotonía” — plus Roddy Ricch‘s “Aston Martin Truck,” and more.

Glass Animals‘ “Heat Waves” set a new record this week as the longest-running hit in the history of the Billboard Hot 100. On the chart dated Oct. 22, the No. 1 hit officially surpassed The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” by spending 91 weeks on the tally.
And now that Dave Bayley and his bandmates are the reigning record holders thanks to the remarkable, slow-burning success of their single, we want to know which longtime Hot 100 hit is your favorite.
Of the never-ending cascade of songs that have gone up and down the all-genre tally since its inception in 1958, only 10 have spent at least 68 weeks on the chart — including hits by Imagine Dragons, AWOLNATION, Dua Lipa and more.
Do you prefer “Heat Waves” over “Blinding Lights”? Which gets your blood pumping more: Dan Reynold’s ferocious delivery of “Radioactive” or AWOLNATION‘s glitchy, hard-charging “Sail”? On the pop front, does Dua’s “Levitating” send you soaring or are you still head over heels for Jason Mraz‘s 2008 single “I’m Yours” after all these years?
The oldest song of the ten is actually LeAnn Rimes‘ 1997 country juggernaut “How Do I Live,” which comes tied in seventh place at 69 weeks with The Weeknd and Ariana Grande‘s “Save Your Tears.” (That’s right, the artist otherwise known as Abel Tesfaye is the only musician to have two hits among the longest-running Hot 100 tracks.)
Was OneRepublic‘s “Counting Stars” an unstoppable force on your playlists a decade ago? Or were you busy party rocking to LMFAO‘s “Party Rock Anthem” featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock?
While we celebrate Glass Animals’ latest accomplishment, vote for your favorite long-running song on the Hot 100 below.
Stray Kids dropped their latest EP MAXIDENT earlier this month, and it’s no accident that the project has rocketed straight to No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
MAXIDENT is the boy band’s first follow-up to fellow No. 1 Oddinary in March, and now that STAY have had 10 full days to devour the EP’s eight tracks, we want to know which song you’re shouting, “1,4,3, I love you!” about the most!
The Korean-language mini-album kicks off with hit single “CASE 143,” which has had fans swooning over Changbin asking “Can I be your boyfriend” ever since it was released as the lead track the same day the full EP dropped.
However, there’s so much more to MAXIDENT than just its opening banger. Do you prefer the classic, piano-driven pop and universal lyrics of “CHILL” or are you ready to overshare the glitch-hop of “Give Me Your TMI”? Do the octet’s “zoom” and “nyuan” sound effects on “SUPER BOARD” set your heart, well, flying “high into the sky” as Bang Chan croons on the chorus?
On the back half of the album, Stray Kids’ eight members split into sub-groups focused on production (Bang Chan, Changin and Han), dance/performance (Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix) and vocals (youngest members — or maknaes — Seungmin, I.N). Is the production trio’s self-referential “3RACHA” the track you can’t stop playing on repeat? Are you singing along to the vocal duo’s “Can’t Stop”? Or are you counting down the days until you can see “TASTE” performed live?
Then there’s closing track “CIRCUS,” the official Korean version of the single the group released in Japanese off their J-pop EP of the same name earlier this year. Does the song’s translation into Korean make you love it that much more?
Find our critic’s ranking of every song on MAXIDENT, and then vote in Billboard‘s poll below.
Happy birthday Jimin! The BTS star turns 27 years old on Thursday (Oct. 13).
To celebrate Jimin’s big day, what better time to look back at some of the singer’s biggest solo hits? Of course, he’s had worldwide success as a member of BTS, but Jimin is a solo superstar in his own right, swooning fans with songs like “Lie,” “Filter,” “Promise,” “With You,” his festive “Christmas Love” and more.
We at Billboard want to know your favorite of Jimin’s solo tracks. Let us know by voting in our poll below.
