Rankings for the Top Movie Songs chart are based on song and film data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of December 2024. The ranking includes newly released films from the preceding three months.
After debuting at No. 2 on the November 2024 Top Movie Songs, “Defying Gravity” rules the latest chart amid Wicked’s first full month of theatrical release; it was debuted in theaters on Nov. 22.

Set during the finale to the first part of Wicked (Wicked: For Good, its sequel, is scheduled for a Nov. 21 premiere), “Defying Gravity” earned 47 million official on-demand U.S. streams and 13,000 downloads in December 2024, according to Luminate.
The song peaked at No. 44 on the Dec. 7-dated Billboard Hot 100 and ranks at No. 71 on the latest tally.

Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale is taking his skills to the small screen, with his new celebrity culinary talk series set to premiere next month.
Titled Dinner with Gavin Rossdale, the new show will see its titular host opening up his home to a number of celebrity guests as he prepares them meals, and engages in deeply personal conversations about their lives, careers, and everything in between. The series will premiere on VIZIO WatchFree+ on Feb. 13.
Some of the guests featured in the series include tennis icon Serena Williams, actress Selma Blair, multi-hyphenate entertainer Common, comedian Jack McBrayer, singer Sir Tom Jones, and actress Brooke Shields. “Miles Davis said that every musician should be able to cook,” Rossdale said in the series’ trailer. “So I took that as a great inspiration with my love affair with food.”

“I had a very simple idea about a TV show where I cook dinner for an inspiring guest,” Rossdale said in a statement. “We get to see these amazing people up close and no one held back. It’s magic to sit and eat with Sir Tom Jones or Serena Williams. I’m so grateful to all my guests.

“When we met with the team at VIZIO – it was obvious this was home,” he added. “It was a huge endeavor and I’m so happy we pulled it together. I’m hoping that everyone enjoys this series as much as I enjoyed making it. I’m very lucky and thrilled – but most of all grateful to everyone who worked to make this show happen.”
“Our team was excited to bring Dinner with Gavin Rossdale to our VIZIO audience because this series is an exceptionally unique blend that delivers equal parts culinary experience and emotional journey,” added Katherine Pond, Vizio’s Group Vice President of Platform Content & Partnerships. “We know our fans respond to food-related content, and with Gavin’s ability to foster meaningful conversation with his extraordinary celebrity guests, we knew this was going to be a hit.”
Rossdale rose to widespread fame as the frontman for British rock outfit Bush, who reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with their 1994 debut album, Sixteen Stone, which included charting singles such as “Comedown” and “Glycerine”. Two years later, they would best their previous accomplishments and top the chart with 1996’s Razorblade Suitcase. Their latest album, The Art of Survival, arrived in 2022.

Boq is proud of his Glinda. Shortly after 2025 Oscar nominations were announced Thursday (Jan. 23) — revealing that Ariana Grande is in the running for best supporting actress for her Wicked performance — Ethan Slater shared a sweet photo on Instagram celebrating his superstar girlfriend’s success.
Allowing the picture to speak for itself, the Broadway actor simply uploaded a captionless snap of the “Yes, And?” singer standing by a window in what appears to be a hotel room, holding a bundle of pink balloons. Slater also tagged Grande — who reshared the post on her Story — and the Academy as well as the film.
The Spongebob Squarepants: The Musical star’s post comes shortly after the R.E.M. Beauty founder shared her own post reacting to the Oscar news, gushing that she “cannot stop crying” over receiving her first-ever nod. “i’m humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered,” the pop star wrote. “i’m so proud of you, tiny.”
Trending on Billboard
Slater and the two-time Grammy winner have been dating since 2023 after meeting on the set of Wicked. Grande was previously married to luxury realtor Dalton Gomez for three years; the pair finalized their divorce in March last year. Slater was previously married to therapist Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a young son; they settled their divorce in September.
Grande and Slater have largely kept their relationship private, but both have previously spoken about the backlash they faced when their relationship first came to light. In a September cover story interview with Vanity Fair, Grande said that “the most disappointing part was to see so many people believe the worst version” of events.
“No one on this Earth tries harder or spreads themselves thinner to be there for the people that he loves and cares about,” Grande added at the time. “There is no one on this Earth with a better heart, and that is something that no bulls–t tabloid can rewrite in real life.”
In October, Slater reflected to GQ, “It’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love … I’m just really, really proud of Ari and the work she’s done.”
In addition to Grande’s best supporting actress nod, Wicked received nine other nominations ahead of the 2025 Oscars, tying it with The Brutalist for second-most nominated. Emilia Pérez takes the lead this year with 13 nods total.
The Victorious alum’s co-leading lady Cynthia Erivo is also nominated, earning a best actress recognition, while Wicked is up for best picture, best original score and more.
