The Love Island USA villa is preparing to close its doors for another summer, with just six couples still in the running for the $100,000 grand prize.

Hosted by Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, the hit Peacock dating series returned in early June with a new group of singles hoping to find love. Weeks of bombshell arrivals, dramatic re-couplings and the show’s signature Casa Amor twist have reshaped the competition, leaving only a handful of Islanders standing ahead of the season 8 finale.

What to Expect From the Love Island USA Season 8 Finale

Filmed at a private luxury villa in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands, the finale gives the remaining couples one last chance to celebrate their relationships before returning to the real world.

As in previous seasons, the finalists will head out on romantic final dates, which have included scenic boat rides, candlelit dinners and intimate picnics. The dates often give Islanders the opportunity to discuss what life outside the villa could look like and whether their connections can survive beyond the show.

Afterward, the couples will dress for the season’s final ceremony, where Ariana Madix will reveal America’s vote and crown the winning couple. Following weeks of dramatic challenges, unexpected romances and emotional twists, the finale will determine which pair formed the strongest connection and earns the $100,000 prize.

From couples who have stayed together since the beginning to Islanders who found love after Casa Amor shook up the villa, season 8 has delivered plenty of memorable moments. Now, only one couple will leave Fiji as this summer’s Love Island USA champions.

Love Island USA Season 8 Cast

The cast of Love Island USA season 8 features the brother of Charlie Georgiou from season 7, the daughter of a retired-NBA player and others. However, cast member Vasana Montgomery was removed from season 8 due to a scandal over the use of a racial slur. See the list of the cast participating in the new season below.

In the meantime, watch a Love Island USA first look at the conclusion below.

As Madonna’s new studio album, CONFESSIONS II, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated July 18), the Queen of Pop joins the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, in the top 10. Jackson’s former 1983-84 No. 1 Thriller falls 7-8 on the latest chart. Perhaps surprisingly, this is only the second time that the pair has appeared in the top 10 at the same time, and it last happened nearly 25 years ago. (All July 18-dated charts will refresh to Billboard’s website on Tuesday, July 14.)

Madonna and Jackson previously shared space in the top 10 on the Dec. 1, 2001-dated chart. That week, Jackson’s chart-topping Invincible fell 3-4 in its third week on the list, while Madonna’s compilation GHV2: Greatest Hits Volume 2 debuted at No. 7. The next week both albums dropped out of the top 10 – although they remained in the top 15 together.

The two icons almost met up in the top 10 in the 1980s — when they spent a combined 57 weeks at No. 1 — but missed one another by a single week. On the Sept. 19, 1987-dated chart, the Madonna-led Who’s That Girl film soundtrack spent its third and final week in the top 10, at No. 7. The following week Who’s That Girl fell to No. 11, while Michael Jackson’s Bad debuted at No. 1. Then, on the Oct. 3-dated chart, Who’s That Girl remained at No. 11, while Bad held at No. 1.

Who’s That Girl and Bad may have never shared time in the top 10, but they did both appear in the top 15 of the chart for four straight weeks (Sept. 26 – Oct. 17, 1987 charts).

Madonna and Jackson had another close encounter on the Jan. 23, 1988-dated Billboard 200, when they were both in the top 15. Madonna’s remix album You Can Dance climbed 17-14 (to its peak), while Bad held at No. 4.

Considering Madonna and Jackson’s potent chart histories, how is it that they have barely crossed paths in the top 10, especially in the ‘80s when they spent a combined 57 weeks at No. 1 (16 and 41, respectively)? Madonna hit the top 10 for the first time on the Oct. 6, 1984-dated chart, with her self-titled debut. By that point, Jackson’s mega-hit Thriller had already departed the top 10 (where it had been lodged from January 1983 through June 1984). 

Following Thriller, Jackson would chart four more top 10s before his death in 2009. After his passing, he notched another four top 10s. Meanwhile, Madonna was much more prolific in her output, as her self-titled set was her first of 24 top 10s, through CONFESSIONS II.

Also factoring into the pair missing each other through the years: their major new albums were often not released in close proximity to one another. Scrolling back in time, there were only four instances in which Madonna and Jackson released top 10-charting albums within six months of each other. It happened in 1987 with Who’s That Girl and Bad; in 1995 with Madonna’s ballads compilation Something To Remember and Jackson’s half-studio album/half-hits set HIStory; in 2001 with GHV2 and Invincible; and in 2009 with Madonna’s best-of Celebration and the posthumous Michael Jackson’s This Is It film soundtrack.

Foreign Tongues, The Rolling Stones‘ new album — their 25th full-length studio release — tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (July 10) on Billboard, choosing the classic rock stars’ just-released set as their favorite new music.

Foreign Tongues rose above new releases from artists including YEONJUN, Beyoncé and Feid. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, the new album from The Stones landed 42% of the vote.

Foreign Tongues is a landmark 25th studio album delivering 14 fresh tracks recorded by The Rolling Stones — 12 new originals, plus two covers (they take on Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good” and Chuck Berry’s “Beautiful Delilah”).

The rock ‘n’ roll vets recorded the project with Hackney Diamonds producer Andrew Watt at Metropolis Studios in West London, which welcomed quite an impressive crowd: Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers all contributed, as well as longtime collaborators Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford and Steve Jordan. Drums played by the late Charlie Watts, recorded during one of his final studio sessions before his 2021 death, are heard on “Hit Me in the Head.”

Singles “In the Stars” and “Jealous Lover” preceded the full album’s unveiling.

“It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues,” Mick Jagger recounted upon the album’s release. “We had 14 great tracks and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there as it’s not too big so you can feel the passion from everyone.”

Ronnie Wood described the room’s vibe as “so creative,” with the full band “on top form throughout the whole process. Very often we nailed it on the first take.”

Trailing behind Foreign Tongues on the poll are YEONJUN’s No Labels: Part 02, with 36% of the vote; Beyoncé’s “Morning Dew (Donk),” with nearly 8% of the vote, and Feid’s A Xon De Que, with more than 7% of the vote.
