“Time,” the new single from pop singer-songwriter Sofia D’Angelo, tops this week’s fan-voted music poll.
Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (April 3) on Billboard, choosing the artist’s latest song — a solo release outside of her group MICHELLE — as their favorite new release of the week.
“Time” ticked ahead other new releases in a week that also saw new music streaming in from actress Anne Hathaway, Jack White (who appeared as musical guest on SNL Saturday night), Arlo Park, floweroflove and more. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, D’Angelo clocked out with more than 69% of the vote.
A New York native and longtime performer, D’Angelo released “Time” alongside a nostalgia-driven music video this week. The visual, filmed at a Bushwick bar, is a flash forward to an aged version of the singer-songwriter — who still has the spirit of her early 20s heyday within.
“Every seven years or so, even Grandma needs a good time,” she quips in the clip, directed by Steph Rinzler. D’Angelo is credited as executive producer, with Anahita von Andrian-Werburg as producer and Natalie Williams as associate producer.
“Just gotta work with what you got,” she sings on the track. “At the end of everything/ Will I remember 23?/ If I survive I’ll know/ If time was on my side.”
Among the new releases trailing behind “Time” are Anne Hathaway’s “My Mouth Is Lonely for You” from her upcoming film Mother Mary, with 16% of the vote, and Jack White’s pre-SNL surprise “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” with 4% of the vote.

Guns N’ Roses unearthed a deep cut during their recent South American tour stop.
While headlining Monsters of Rock Brazil at São Paulo’s Allianz Parque on Saturday (April 5), the rock icons performed the Use Your Illusion I track “Bad Apples” live for the first time in 35 years.
This marks only the second live performance of the song, which they debuted at Brazil’s Rock in Rio in 1991, according to Rolling Stone. Slash has also revisited the gritty track with his side band Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.
Saturday’s show also featured the rarely heard “Dead Horse,” from Use Your Illusion I, as well as Appetite for Destruction’s “Rocket Queen.”
During an interview earlier this year with Las Vegas radio station KOMP 92.3, Slash promised that Guns N’ Roses would play both new and old songs on their 2026 world tour, which launched March 28 at the Tecate Pa’l Norte festival in Monterrey, Mexico. That opening show featured the live debuts of last December’s “Atlas” and “Nothin’,” the first new songs from GNR since their 2023 one-off singles “The General” and “Perhaps.”
During the interview, the famed guitarist also teased that GNR may be releasing new material in the near future: a possible collection of older tracks the band has been slowly releasing over the past few years, as well as the long-awaited follow-up to 2008’s Chinese Democracy.
“I think in this instance it’s what we’re doing, because we only re-recorded those songs — like a couple of songs here, a couple of songs there. These were the last two that are left to do, and we actually did them not even back to back,” Slash said of “Nothin’” and “Atlas.”
“And then there’s really no more of that sort of old rehash stuff to release,” the musician added of the vault-clearing. “But I think what we’re gonna do, we’re gonna take all those songs and put them on something and release that as a package. And then the next record that we’re gonna do is gonna be all new original stuff, and that’ll be an actual album.”
Guns N’ Roses’ next performance is scheduled for April 7 in São José do Rio Preto, Brazil, followed by several more Brazilian stops before heading to Florida in late April.

If you’re hitting up any music festivals this year, a great bag is an absolute necessity, and few brands make a better festival carry-all than Lululemon.
The brand’s All Night Festival Bag has been a bestseller since it arrived a few years ago, with reviewers praising its roomy (but still compact) size, its weather-resistant material and a zipper around the top that keeps everything safe and secure.
Now, Lululemon has released the latest version of its Festival Bag, in a sleek and minimalist black colorway with gold zipper detailing.
BESTSELLER
Lululemon All Night Festival Bag 5L
While the bag was available last year in a viral pink colorway, we much prefer the wearability and fashionable aesthetic of this black color, which works with almost any festival outfit or personal style. The streetwear-inspired silhouette is also firmly unisex, with a fold-over design that’s part-messenger bag and part-trendy crescent bag. More proof of its fashion cred: Even if we weren’t heading to Lollapalooza or Stagecoach, we would still wear this bag to brunch or for a night out.
Another quality that makes this bag ideal for any outdoor events is that it’s made of durable, water-repellent fabric. It has an adjustable strap that makes it easy to wear over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag, which is great if you want to switch up the way you wear it throughout the day. It also has an easily accessible front pocket that has a covered zipper.
The fold-over design keeps things chic and compact but you can also expand the bag say, if you’re hoping to carry a water bottle, sunscreen or any larger items for the long days of shows. The 5L capacity offers plenty of space and the material will stretch a little bit to cram everything in. If you decide to fold the bag in half, the bag features magnets to hold the folded-over flap firmly in place.
If you are looking for a great summer music festival option, make sure you go ahead and add this to your cart as Lululemon’s bags are popular and known to sell out. At only $78 — and available now in this classic black color — this Festival Bag is sure to sell quickly too. See more details here.
One thing to note: this is great for outdoor festivals where bag rules are a little more relaxed. For outdoor concerts or sporting events, you’ll still want to check the venue’s website for a list of stadium-approved bags.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L (Clear)
Most stadiums and concert venues are still requiring you to carry everything in a clear bag in order to enter. Luckily for us, Lululemon makes one of those too.
This bag is a see-through take on the brand’s bestselling Everywhere Belt Bag, and an easy way to get your phone, keys and accessories through concert security with ease.
BTS’ new album ARIRANG has put K-pop back in a familiar spot — No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. ARIRANG, which holds at No. 1 on the chart dated April 11, is the 23rd album or EP by a K-pop act to reach No. 1 on Billboard‘s flagship albums chart in less than eight years. The first was BTS’ Love Yourself: Tear in June 2018.
ARIRANG is the first K-pop album or EP to spend two consecutive weeks at No. 1. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack also had two weeks on top, but those weeks weren’t consecutive.
Stray Kids has amassed eight No. 1 titles on the Billboard 200, which puts them out front among K-pop acts. BTS is a close second, with seven No. 1 titles. ATEEZ is next in line with two No. 1s on the Billboard 200. SuperM, BLACKPINK, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NewJeans and TWICE have all notched one No. 1 to date.
BLACKPINK was the first female K-pop act to land a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. They scored with Born Pink in 2022.
K-pop groups tend to be large ensembles. TWICE has nine members, one more than Stray Kids and ATEEZ. BTS and SuperM each have seven members. TOMORROW X TOGETHER and NewJeans each have five members. BLACKPINK has four members. To date, no K-pop solo artists, duos or trios have topped the Billboard 200.
There have been multiple No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 by K-pop acts in every year since 2018 except for 2021, when there were none. The peak year (to date) for most No. 1 K-pop albums on the Billboard 200 was 2023, when there were five. Here’s a list of all K-pop albums to top the Billboard 200. They are listed in chronological order.
Jack White may shred like a pro, but he hilariously forgets his solo mid-performance in a sketch on Saturday Night Live.
During the Jack Black–hosted episode on April 4, the Detroit rocker appeared in the pre-recorded sketch “Words to Live By (Country Song),” where a group of men sing about wise advice they’ve been given — only to suddenly forget it.
The nearly five-minute clip opens with a mullet-sporting James Austin Johnson trying to recollect the words his father imparted on his deathbed, then shifts to Black, wearing a cowboy hat and wielding an acoustic guitar, attempting to recall wisdom from a sage in a Tibetan cave.
Toward the end of the sketch, Black says, “Jack White, hit ’em with a guitar solo,” as the scene cuts to White — dressed in all black with a cowboy hat — appearing on a majestic snow-capped mountain with an eagle soaring past him, as he rips into a country-tinged lick.
“Wait, wait,” White says as he stumbles through the rest of the solo. “I forgot it. I forgot the f—king solo.”
Elsewhere in the episode, White performed new songs “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs” as the musical guest. He also joined a surprise rendition of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” during the opening monologue, alongside Black and several returning members of the show’s Five-Timers Club, including Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Candice Bergen and Melissa McCarthy.
The episode marked Black’s fifth time hosting and White’s sixth appearance as musical guest, including his SNL debut with the White Stripes in 2002.
Check out Jack White’s cameo in SNL‘s “Words to Live By (Country Song)” below.
BTS’ ARIRANG rules the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated April 11) for a second week, earning 187,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 2, according to Luminate. That’s down 71% compared the album’s opening week of 641,000, the biggest week of 2026 thus far. With a second week at No. 1, ARIRANG now has the most weeks atop the chart among BTS’ seven leaders — the other six each spent one week at No. 1.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart, the latest albums from Ye (formerly Kanye West), Melanie Martinez and Yeat debut.
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. The new April 11, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on April 7. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of ARIRANG’s 187,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 114,000 (down 79%; it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a second week), SEA units comprise 65,000 (down 31%, equaling 68.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it falls 1-3 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 8,000 (down 49%).
Ye scores his 14th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 — all of which have reached the top two — as BULLY debuts at No. 2 with 152,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week ending Thursday, April 2.

The album arrived at physical retail on March 27 (on CD, vinyl and cassette), and at digital retail and streaming services on March 28. Also on March 28, Ye dropped the music video for the album’s “FATHER,” featuring Travis Scott and directed by Bianca Censori.
During BULLY’s release week, Ye staged his first major U.S. concert in nearly five years, playing SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., on April 1. A second SoFi show took place on Friday (April 3), one day after BULLY’s first chart tracking week closed.
First-week sales of BULLY were aided by its availability across multiple color vinyl variants, deluxe boxed sets containing branded merch and a copy of the CD, as well as signed vinyl and CD editions.
Melanie Martinez notches her fourth top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200 as HADES bows at No. 3 with 84,000 equivalent album units earned.

Jack White returned to Saturday Night Live with a pair of brand new songs.
After making a cameo in a star-studded monologue alongside host Jack Black, the 50-year-old Detroit rocker took the stage to deliver two just-released, electrifying tracks: “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs.”
For his first performance, White appeared on a blue-lit stage stacked with wooden crates and a white statue featuring a glass skeleton head, performing “Derecho Demonico” with a backing band. Later in the show, he returned wearing a jacket emblazoned with a NASA logo — likely a nod to the recently launched, moon-bound Artemis II mission — to deliver the feral “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs.
“Well, it’s the beginning of the world now/ And there’s nobody left… Let’s start again… Let’s do it all over again,” the artist sings on the track.
White’s most recent solo album, No Name, was released in 2024.
During the opening monologue, White joined in for a surprise performance of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.” The segment also featured host Black alongside several returning members of the show’s Five-Timers Club, including Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Candice Bergen and Melissa McCarthy.
Saturday’s episode marked Black’s fifth time hosting, while White served as the musical guest for the sixth time, including his SNL debut with the White Stripes in 2002.
Black is currently promoting his return as the voice of Bowser in the animated sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which arrived in theaters on April 1. He made his solo Billboard Hot 100 debut in 2023 with “Peaches” from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which peaked at No. 56 on the chart.

Pepsi is withdrawing its sponsorship of London’s Wireless Festival following criticism over the event’s decision to book Ye.
The food and beverage giant had served as the festival’s main sponsor for a decade but is now stepping away amid backlash over Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) being announced as the headliner for all three nights.
“Pepsi has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of Wireless Festival,” a Pepsi spokesperson told Billboard on Sunday (April 5).
The London festival had been branded “Pepsi MAX Presents Wireless” as part of a partnership in place since 2015. The event is organized by Festival Republic, which is part of Live Nation.
This year’s Wireless is scheduled for July 10–12 at Finsbury Park in London. West previously headlined the event in 2014.
Pepsi’s withdrawal came hours after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned organizers for booking the embattled rap star.
“It is deeply concerning that Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism,” Starmer said, according to The Guardian.
“Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted clearly and firmly wherever it appears. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure.”
Ye has faced repeated criticism in recent years for antisemitic statements and actions, including releasing a song titled “Heil Hitler,” selling T-shirts bearing swastikas and publicly expressing admiration for Nazi ideology. In January, he took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal apologizing for his repeated incidents of hate speech, claiming that his 2022 car crash caused brain damage that led to mental health issues.
Starmer was not the only political figure to speak out. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said in a statement to Complex, “We are clear that the past comments and actions of this artist are offensive and wrong, and are simply not reflective of London’s values. This was a decision taken by the festival organizers and not one that City Hall is involved in.”
The Jewish Leadership Council also issued a statement condemning the festival’s decision to book Ye.
“It is deeply irresponsible for Wireless festival to be headlining Kanye West,” a spokesperson for the Council told The Guardian. “The UK Jewish community is facing record levels of antisemitism, including a terrorist attack in Manchester, the attack on ambulances in Golders Green and foiled plots which would have killed many more.”
The Chicago native released his 12th studio album, Bully, on March 28, marking his first solo project since 2022’s Donda 2. Ye recently returned to the stage in the U.S. in support of the album, performing a pair of shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles after opening 2026 with a performance in Mexico City.
West is next scheduled to perform at RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on July 18, shortly after his planned Wireless Festival appearance.
En la historia del rock, los segundos discos siempre significaron un reto y una prueba. Si un LP debut sirve para llamar la atención, el siguiente álbum define si una banda tiene lo necesario para mantenerse en el tiempo. El llamado «síndrome del segundo disco» hundió carreras prometedoras, pero también dio lugar a obras maestras […]
