Fit for a queen! Mariah Carey was feeling all the emotions on Wednesday night (Nov. 9) as she tuned into the season five premiere of The Crown.
“THE CROWN premiered last night and of course I had to have my own screening dahhlings!” the icon captioned an Instagram video showing her lounging in her screening room in a tiara and silky white robe as she sips from a fancy tea cup, as her son Moroccan snoozes on a couch opposite her. Mimi then shared with the Lambs that her 1991 hit “Emotions” is featured in the first episode of the Netflix hit’s new season. “Seeeeee!” she exclaims with a big smile as the track begins to play.
Starring Imelda Staunton, Jonathan Pryce, Leslie Manville, Dominic West, Jonny Lee Miller and Elizabeth Debicki, season five of The Crown charts the Britsh royal family’s lives throughout the 1990s, and will touch on major events including the tragic 1997 death of Princess Diana.
“Emotions” — which earned Mariah the fifth consecutive No. 1 of her career upon its release — is the latest throwback hit to get dusted off for a major Netflix sync following the likes of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal WIth God)” and Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” on season four of Stranger Things. (It’s worth noting both of those tracks saw impressive bumps on the charts after their respective episodes of the sci-fi series dropped on the streamer.)
Meanwhile, Carey just released her new children’s book, The Christmas Princess, and is currently gearing up for her quartet of Merry Christmas to All! holiday shows in New York City and Toronto. The string of festivities will also be followed by a two-hour primetime special on CBS.

Mariah Carey is bringing her Christmas cheer directly into your house this season. The singer announced on Thursday (Nov. 10) that she will sled through all her holiday favorites on Dec. 20 during an all-new two-hour primetime special, Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All!, slated to air on CBS and Paramount+.
The announcement came during an appearance on CBS Mornings on Thursday, where MC dropped by to promote her first-ever yuletide picture book, The Christmas Princess, as well to explain why she just can’t get enough of mistletoe and eggnog season. The special will be filmed at Carey’s upcoming two-night “Merry Christmas to All!” stand at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Dec. 13 and 16; she will also bring the show to Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on Dec. 9 and 11.
With one of the most enduring modern Christmas classics of all time in “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” Mariah was asked if she feels like she has to continually up her holiday game in order to retain her Christmas Queen crown and whether she thinks the slow-rolling retail cheer creep is getting out of hand. “It is too early! Tell that to the stores,” she said about the slow Santa slide that finds some big box outlets pre-stocking jingle trinkets before the Halloween haunts even have left stores.
“Honestly, I think we need to get through Thanksgiving,” Carey added about when she thinks it’s appropriate to rev up our Rudolph game. And not for nothing she noted, her signature “it’s time” tweets were not originally her doing, but American Idol host Ryan Seacrest’s. “It was Ryan Seacrest, I believe, tweeted me and he said, ‘Hey Mariah, I wanna get festive, I wanna get into the holiday spirit. Do you think it’s time?,’” she recalled. “And I thought it was really funny, and I’m like, ‘not yet.’ So then we just started filming people asking me, or I’d be in the dentist chair [and they’d ask] ‘should we put Christmas music on for you?’”
Carey said she was super proud that her first announced “Merry Christmas To All!” show at MSG sold out in an hour. “I have no words,” she said, teasing that there will be a few “new sections” of the show she last performed in 2019, including fan requests of songs she hasn’t performed in the holiday showcase yet.

BTS ARMY, this is not a drill: RM promised that a solo album would be arriving in the imminent future, and now a date has been set, along with the project’s official title. On Thursday (Nov. 10), the rapper dropped the news via Instagram, sharing a photo of a bright blue patch of denim, along with the LP’s details.
“‘Indigo,’” RM captioned the post. “RM 1st Solo Album, 12/2.”
BTS’ music label, BigHit Music, also shared the news to its respective feeds, along with a photo of a blue fabric swatch with the album title bleached in white. The label also added that Indigo will be released on Dec. 2 at 12 a.m. ET and 2 p.m. KT.
“Indigo recounts the stories and experiences RM has gone through, like a diary,” a press release said of the project. “The album will present a different charm of RM with various featured artists.” (None of the featured artists have yet been announced.)
Though Indigo will be RM’s first full-length solo album, the rapper previously released two mixtapes. He was the first of the BTS members to share solo material, dropping his self-titled mixtape in 2015, which contained singles “Do You,” “Awakening” and “Joke.” RM then released a second mixtape in 2018 titled Mono. “Forever Rain” was released as the only single from this latter body of work, and the set debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard 200.
The announcement of RM’s solo album arrives shortly after fellow BTS member Jin released his own solo track titled “The Astronaut.” The track currently sit at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Sir Paul McCartney will release a career-spanning box set that will feature 80 singles personally chosen by the singer from throughout his solo career. The collection, The 7″ Singles, is due out on Dec. 2 and will come in a wooden art crate and is limited to 3,000 copies.
With a total of 163 tracks totaling more than 10 hours of music, the set — which will also be released digitally — will feature such beloved singles as “My Love,” “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” “Silly Love Songs,” “Coming Up,” “Ebony and Ivory,” “Say Say Say” and “No More Lonely Lights,” among many others.
“I hope the songs in this box set bring back fun memories for you too. They do for me, and there will be more to come,” McCartney said in a statement announcing the set. The box spans the time from 1971’s “Another Day” to a 7″ version of McCartney’s 2022 Record Store Day song of the year, “Women and Wives” from 2020’s McCartney III. The collection brings together 65 singles with their original B-sides — using restored artwork from 11 different countries — in addition to 15 singles never before released on 7″ collected from previously released 12″, picture discs, CD singles and promos, digital downloads, music videos and two previously unheard demos and a previously unheard 7″ single edit.
In addition to the singles, the wooden box designed and built in Derbyshire, UK will also include a 148-page book with a personal foreword by McCartney, an essay from music writer Rob Sheffield and chart information, liner notes and single artwork. Each box will also include a randomly selected, exclusive test pressing of one of the singles.
McCartney celebrated the announcement by releasing a rare 1971 mono recording from the set of “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey [Mono]” and “Too Many People [Mono].”

Can you feel it creeping up on you? The co-hosts of The View analyzed the results of the 2022 midterm elections on Wednesday morning (Nov. 9) with a little help from Taylor Swift‘s Midnights.
“Now the votes are still being counted in many of yesterday’s midterm elections, but it looks like that ‘red tsunami’ didn’t quite materialize,” Whoopi Goldberg stated, making reference to the predicted GOP sweep of the election to introduce the Hot Topics segment.
While Ron DeSantis flipped Florida red with his win as governor, other congressional races saw Democrats like John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Maggie Hassan beat far-right candidates backed by former president Donald Trump, and the show’s resident Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin couldn’t help but make a reference to a fan-favorite track from Swift’s latest chart-topping album.
“Listen, I’m a Republican. I wanted good Republicans to win and I wanted bad Republicans to lose,” the freshman conservative voice at the table said before quipping, “I’m not losing sleep that Dr. Oz lost his race last night!
“This is actually the best I’ve felt about the country,” she continued, “because it was much more, [as] Taylor Swift would call a ‘Lavender Haze.’ This was no red wave.”
While Tay probably wasn’t thinking of the electoral map when she was writing “Lavender Haze” with help from Jack Antonoff and Zoe Kravitz, the Midnights opener debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 behind chart-topping lead single “Anti-Hero” in the same week the superstar set a new record as the first artist to ever dominate the entire Hot 100 top 10 in Billboard history. (This week, on the chart dated Nov. 12, the track remains in the top 10, dropping 2-6.)
Watch The View co-hosts dissect the “Lavender Haze” of the 2022 midterms below.
Taylor Swift is continuing to treat fans when it comes to Midnights lead single “Anti-Hero,” and the star unveiled a new version of the track, a remix by Roosevelt, on Wednesday (Nov. 9).

“The anti hero (Roosevelt remix) makes me feel hyped enough for an imaginary funeral brawl,” Swift wrote on Twitter, along with a clip from her “Anti-Hero” music video, in which her future children and daughter-in-law battle it out while laying the Grammy winning superstar to rest.
The song is currently only available as a digital single for purchase on Swift’s website. However, the previously released Bleachers collaborative version of the track was made available on streaming services the day after release.
“Anti-Hero” spends a second week this week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. A week earlier, it debuted at the summit, as Swift made history as the first artist to claim the survey’s entire top 10 in a single frame.
The single also posts a second week atop the Streaming Songs chart; jumps 9-4 on Digital Song Sales; and dips 13-14 on Radio Songs. (As previously reported, this week’s Billboard airplay charts are the first using Mediabase-monitored data; this week’s Radio Songs chart incorporates data from former monitoring service BDS for Oct. 28-30 and from Mediabase for Oct. 31-Nov. 3, with Mediabase data to power the survey going forward).
Mom probs! Hilary Duff hopped on social media on Tuesday (Nov. 8) to share an update on her family and the barrage of sickness that has taken over their house.
“Hi, everyone! I haven’t been on in a minute,” she said in an Instagram Story while bundled up in a turtleneck and faux fur coat. “That’s because my whole family has had COVID, hand foot mouth, colds that were worse than COVID, RSV, parainfluenza, the good old-fashioned flu — we had it all. Agh! I’m sure every single family is dealing with this right now. ‘Tis. The. Season.
“But I’m on because I’m having, like, a really cool moment, I’m filming on the Warner Bros. ranch today,” she continued. “And this place has so much history. My trailer is parked in front of a pool that was built just for Lucille Ball to exercise in, to swim in. How baller is that? What a G.”
The Younger alum didn’t reveal the project she was filming; Duff has always kept it forthright about the struggles of balancing parenthood with her career. Back in August, she used her Instagram Stories to send a sympathetic message to working parents when she had to leave her sick daughter at home with a bout of hand, foot and mouth disease.
“You’re doing a good job. Just like I know I’m doing a good job in working for my family” she said at the time, “but poor little baby. And all of this feels so weird to not be there with her.”
Check out Duff’s latest mom update here before it expires.
For the first time since 2016, Meghan Trainor appears on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart. “Made You Look,” from Trainor’s new album Takin’ It Back, starts at No. 49 on the Streaming Songs list dated Nov. 12.
In the tracking week ending Nov. 3, “Look” earned 9.3 million official U.S. streams, a 79% boost, according to Luminate.
The slightly unconventional rise – songs from new albums don’t often increase in streams in their second week, and Back bowed Nov. 5 – is thanks in part to virality for “Look” on user-generated content platforms such as TikTok.
Trainor last appeared on Streaming Songs on the tally dated Sept. 24, 2016, when “Me Too” appeared at No. 41.
She boasts eight total entries on the ranking, paced by 10-week No. 1 “All About That Bass” in 2014.
Concurrently, “Look” vaults 95-63 in its second week on the multi-metric Billboard Hot 100, as the chart’s greatest gainer in streaming for the week. It’s Trainor’s highest ranking entry since “No Excuses” debuted and peaked at No. 46 in March 2018. (In between “Excuses” and “Look,” Trainor made the ranking for one week in February 2020 with the Nicki Minaj-featuring “Nice to Meet Ya,” which peaked at No. 89.)
“Look” also debuts at No. 37 on Adult Pop Airplay.
Back debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 dated Nov. 5 and spends its second week on the survey at No. 40 with 15,000 equivalent album units earned.
Britney Spears has been dismissive about documentaries made about her life and 13-year conservatorship in the past, and on Wednesday (Nov. 9), she took to Twitter to further slam the onscreen portrayals.

“I want to thank the head people who did all the documentaries to help free Brit Brit !!! I mean such classy footage,” Spears opened her lengthy message sarcastically. “The best part to me was when my old assistant talked about how I went through the neighborhood passing out 100 dollar bills when my first song came out !!! I wish I could go inside the heads of people like my dad and her and really try to understand why people lie and make up such things like that !!!”
She went on to call out those who made “the trashiest docs I’ve ever seen in my life,” and adding that she felt as though there was “deception in claiming it was to help me !!!”
Spears called the documentaries “humiliating”, adding, “I am a person … I’m not a robot or a science experiment like they analyzed me in that place !!! I’m a valued soul … so for the documentaries that were done on me, they were trash and nothing more than trash … period !!!”
The pop star continued, “Every person who sat there in those docs knew or if THEY DIDN’T KNOW could have found out where they were keeping me !!!!! They KNEW and it’s time to realize that it was THEN I needed REAL people to go to the cops and ‘Jesus Christ what is going on ???? Aren’t there labor laws ??? The girl has been working like a dog !!!’”
She went on to talk more about the nerve damage she’s been struggling with. “I recently found out that when I don’t get enough oxygen to my brain I feel nerve damage on the right side of my body,” she wrote. “My hands go numb every night when I go to sleep … it’s not my fault … but I will say it’s pretty f—ing painful!!!”
Spears admitted that she has yet to go to a doctor for it, as she’s “terrified” after some of her past experiences. “Nowadays for me when I just feel the presence of a person I immediately freeze and have to catch my breath !!! I do believe that when I was in that place I may have gotten serious mental trauma from not breathing normally … my nerve damage shoots from my hand up to my back, neck, and to the right side of my head !!!”

As he revels in the accolades for his Weird: The Al Yankovic Story biopic on Roku, parody king “Weird Al” Yankovic is sharing one of the biggest Easter eggs in his joke basket.
In the new film, the music video for Al’s Grammy-winning 1984 Michael Jackson parody “Eat It” is playing on a TV in the background (with Weird star Daniel Radcliffe’s face superimposed on his body), and according to the singer, the movie’s producers had to jump through some hoops to brush up the nearly four-decade-old footage.
“‘Eat It’ was my breakthrough music video, but the online version always appeared to have been recorded with a potato,” Al told Billboard about the degraded quality of the deliciously silly food-focused visual. “Now, with this new 4K version, it’s literally never looked better.”
During filming, producers asked Al’s team to find the best-quality version of the original “Eat It” clip, which led them on a deep-dive into the vaults, where they found the raw 16mm film footage from the 1983 shoot.
While they worried that handling the brittle original film stock — which had sat untouched in a storage unit for nearly 40 years — might result in it crumbling after so many years, it miraculously held up and ended up in the finished movie.
A new description of “Eat It” that accompanies the polished-up video explains: “In order to create that particular scene, the producers had to track down source material that was considerably better quality than the existing standard-definition version. So Yankovic went into his personal video vault and had all the original 16mm film that was shot for the video in 1983 lovingly transferred to 4K. Then, while traveling the country on his 2022 tour, he painstakingly re-edited the video on his laptop, matching the original video frame for frame. The resulting video is not without scratches and artifacts (even in a temperature-controlled storage unit, film will start to degrade after a few decades) but it is exponentially better quality than any version that has ever existed before.”
Watch the 4K “Eat It” video below.
