The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER claims its eighth top 10-charted album, as 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns debuts at No. 3. The set starts with 69,000 equivalent album units earned.

Michael is already shattering box office records.

Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson biopic debuted in theaters Friday (April 24), earning a record-breaking $97 million domestic opening and a global launch of $217.4 million, according to Sunday estimates, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

The Antoine Fuqua-directed film delivered the biggest opening ever for a music biopic, surpassing Universal’s Straight Outta Compton, which debuted to $60.1 million in 2015. Fox’s Bohemian Rhapsody opened to $51 million in 2018, ranking as the second-biggest debut for a music biopic.

The Queen biopic remains the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, with $910 million worldwide, and earned Rami Malek a best actor Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury.

Michael now also holds the biggest domestic opening of all time for a biopic, surpassing Oppenheimer ($80 million), not adjusted for inflation, according to THR.

“This record-breaking performance is a testament to the incredible filmmaking team of producer Graham King and director Antoine Fuqua, an amazing cast led by Jaafar Jackson’s singular performance, our world-class partners at Universal, the cooperation and support of the Michael Jackson Estate, and our tireless and exceptionally talented Lionsgate team,” Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said in a statement.

“Above all, it reflects the tremendous outpouring of love and affection from moviegoers around the world, underscoring the strength and vitality of the theatrical box office. If you give audiences what they want, they will come.”

Michael grossed $38.5 million domestically on opening day Friday and was off to a strong start overseas, with an international launch in the $114 million range, THR reports.

Heading into the weekend, the film had been tracking to open between $65 million and $70 million domestically. Nearly 40% of its gross is coming from IMAX and other premium large-format screens. The biopic’s momentum was evident early, earning $12.6 million from Wednesday and Thursday preview screenings.

Michael has drawn strong audience reception, with a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, PostTrak exit scores in the low 90s, and a definite recommend of 85%. It also earned an A- on CinemaScore. The movie is attracting a broad audience across demographics, led by Black and female movie-goers, according to THR.

The long-anticipated film stars the King of Pop’s nephew Jaafar Jackson in the title role, charting his rise from fronting The Jackson 5 in the 1970s to launching a solo career that reached historic heights. The story culminates with the release of Thriller, the best-selling album in pop music history.

Michael is the first installment of a planned two-part biopic.

Madonna continues to tease her upcoming Confessions II album.

In the early hours of Saturday morning (April 25), the Queen of Pop made a surprise appearance at the invite-only Club Confessions Los Angeles party at The Abbey in West Hollywood, where she previewed two new songs from the follow-up to her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.

As the clock neared 1 a.m., the pop superstar appeared in the DJ booth alongside Stuart Price, the producer behind both Confessions albums.

“Hello, children, mutha is here to save you,” Madonna told the star-studded crowd, according to Variety. “Are you ready to dance for me? Come on meet me on the dance floor. Alright, let’s go gays, come on! Don’t let me down, gays.”

Sporting a pink bustier, Madonna previewed previously unheard tracks “Love Sensation” and “Freedom,” along with the recently released banger “I Feel So Free” and 2005’s “Hung Up.”

The singer’s Confessions II album is slated to arrive July 3 through Warner Records. It marks her first album since 2019’s Madame X and serves as a sequel to the Billboard 200 No. 1 album Confessions on a Dance Floor.

Elsewhere during her set, Madonna shouted, “Don’t wait. Take it. Don’t wait. Take it. Take your freedom! Put your hands up! Put your hands up!” She also urged partygoers to “put your phones down” and be present in the music, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Saturday’s party also featured DJ sets by Romy and Mez Monty, and doubled as a birthday celebration for Abbey owner Tristan Schukraft.

The star-studded guest list reportedly included Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon, her boyfriend Akeem Morris, Cara Delevingne, Tom Daley, Tori Spelling, Lily Allen, Sky Ferreira, Addison Rae, Kali Uchis, Julia Fox, Lola Young, Bebe Rexha, Jeremy Scott, and Vivian Jenna Wilson.

RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Willam, Trinity the Tuck, Morgan McMichaels, Gottmik, Symone, Kelly Mantle and Courtney Act were also spotted in the crowd, along with TikTok creator Harry Daniels.

Megan Thee Stallion got emotional during her Moulin Rouge! The Musical performance following her breakup with Klay Thompson.

In fan-captured footage from her Saturday (April 25) appearance at the Tony Award-winning Broadway show in New York City, the 31-year-old rapper is seen tearing up onstage during the curtain call hours after announcing her split from the NBA star amid cheating allegations.

Still in costume, the “WAP” hitmaker turned away from the applauding audience to wipe away her tears as she received a standing ovation.

The three-time Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper recently made her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! as the first female-identifying performer in the role of Zidler, beginning an eight-week engagement on March 24 that runs through May 17 at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Leading up to Saturday’s show, Megan confirmed her split from Thompson on social media.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet,’” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’????”

The rapper further addressed the breakup with the Dallas Mavericks player in a statement obtained by Billboard.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” Megan said. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”

The hip-hop star and shooting guard began dating in summer 2025, with Megan once describing their first meeting as “a meet cute” and calling her former partner “the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.” The pair made their red carpet debut in New York City that July.

Last Thanksgiving, Thompson had named his boat after her (“SS Stallion”), and the couple spent the holiday together with his family.

Earlier this year, Megan said that she was “manifesting my engagement” in a video clip filmed in Milan with Olympic athletes Brittany Bowe and Hilary Knight, who are engaged.
