It’s almost Global Day of Unplugging, and in honor of it, Mustard, Lucky Daye, Lil Mosey and more shared how they take a break from their screens to reconnect. 

Starting at sundown and lasting for the next 24 hours, take a moment — whether it’s a minute, an hour, or the full day — to unplug and be present.

How do you unplug? Let us know in the comments!

Rania Aniftos:You’re always plugged in, always locked in. What do you do to unplug?

Lucky Daye:I’ll travel or it’s really tough for me to unplug first of all, but I’ll break something just to put it back together.

Julia Michaels:Things I do to unplug? Oh, I love the sun. Love to be in the grass. I love a drive. 

Tetris Kelly:There we go. 

Julia Michaels:Love a long drive.

Lil Mosey:It’s hard to unplug. I was just saying last night. Right when you see a video on any Instagram, TikTok, you’re stuck in there for a whole hour just going.

Rania Aniftos:Going down the rabbit hole with the weirdest stuff, too. 

Lil Mosey:You just gotta throw your phone out the window or something. Just call it a day. 

Tetris Kelly:For the people that might be at home right now feeling like I don’t know what to do. I’m tired of scrolling through Twitter or X. What advice do you have to them? 

Green Day:Take a break, stay off of social media for a while. I think one of the worst things in the world is the anxiety that we all feel collectively, and I think it has a lot to do with social media freaking us out even more, and then all of a sudden, you just realize you go and you hang out with a friend and you just make those connections that you’re supposed to make. 

Lady Gaga’s Mayhem is out today, and the pop singer discusses how the chaos of her earlier work influenced this album, her relationship with the media, how she’s grown as an artist, her fan interactions and more!

What do you think of Mayhem? Let us know in the comments below!

Lady Gaga:To me, if you can repeat your fingerprints, they’re your fingerprints. I don’t want to drive anyone insane, but also, thank you so much. So, like I tried to have a lot of fun making this record. I always embark on a very like organic musical process, and the album always begins with the music. There have been times in my career where I had, like, an idea in terms of, like, how to conceptually approach a record. I would say that this album from start to finish, it was like pieces coming together, and I did not want to turn it into anything artificial. I really wanted to allow myself to, like, just follow the music. It started to slowly remind me of, like, my earlier work, the mayhem of my approach to pop music, which is, like, something that, like, is mine, that I feel proud of. I did want the chaos to end, and that’s why the record is the way that it is. It’s sort of like there being an end of insight to the chaos — I think gives it some hope. 

Stephen Daw:What was it that was kind of fearful for you about doing that?

I think I felt a lot of pressure. Yeah. Felt pressure to, yeah, like, ever since my first album. You know, I did listen to what people would say, “Will she outdo herself? Can she top herself? She live up to it? You know, she needs to evolve,” or she, you know, “she hasn’t changed enough.” There was a lot of noise. I was young, too, of course, you know. And I’m 38 now, I’m a lot more confident in myself, but I think I found my confidence in this record.

Eladio Carrión shares what he loves about his fans, what to expect from his new album, how he’s preparing for the tour, why he loves performing and more!

Ingrid Fajardo:Hello, my friends at Billboard! Today from Viña del Mar we are with the great Eladio Carrión. 

Eladio Carrión:Hello, hello, hello!

How are you? It’s a pleasure to have you here. We’re enjoying the view. I was telling you that we brought a bit of San Juan.

Clearly, I feel like I’m in San Juan here next to the hill. 

Exactly, next to the hill. How are you, Eladio? How do you feel? Nervous?

I’m really good, I never get nervous. I was an athlete for many years. Those are pure nerves when you’re going to compete against other people. Do you get me? This is moreso eagerness to get on the stage, to see how the experience is, to see how people enjoy the show. You get me? It’s more eagerness than nervousness.

What–

I’m doing good though, how are you?

I’m doing good, too. What have you listened to or what expectations do you have for the “monsters,” as fans call it here,

The “monsters?” They call themselves “monsters”?

The fans do because it’s not easy.

Oh no, what are they here? They’re the best, right? Here they’re part of the top five fandoms in the world. I love to come here for that reason. They live the music, the feelings at the shows. You get me? They enjoy it because there’s nothing more beautiful to be an artist, a singer and see the people enjoying the music. Do you really get me? There’s nothing more beautiful than that.
