Jack is back. Jack River, that is.

The independent Australian singer, songwriter and advocate (real name: Holly Rankin) returns with a new deal via G.Y.R.O. (Get Your Record Out), and new music in “Borderline.”

A lowkey electronic earworm, “Borderline” is Jack River’s first release since 2023’s Endless Summer, during which she performed over 20 shows while pregnant with her first daughter Maggie.

“Borderline” was written following her breakthrough night out on her own, capturing the emotions, the fears, the vulnerability and the strength that comes with rediscovering the world.

“This is a song about traveling beyond the borderline, back to one’s self, back to freedom,” she explains. “I wrote this song after one of my first nights alone in three years, overwhelmed with the feeling that my sense of self was returning, and the reckoning that comes with that. It’s the beginning of a new era for Jack River – with less rules, less constraints, and more independence.”

There’s more on the way. Rankin is hard at work on a collection of songs which will traverse those years of “change and transition,” in her “relationships, her career and her personal world,” reads a statement announcing the new project. “Motherhood brought fearlessness, conviction and a realization that there’s no time to mess around, bringing with it new discipline and boundaries, but also a sense of freedom.”

Jack River established her as one of the Australian music scene’s leading lights with her 2018 debut album Sugar Mountain, which snagged three ARIA Award nominations (breakthrough artist of the year, best pop release and engineer of the year), an AIR Award nomination (best independent pop album) and an APRA Award nomination (breakthrough songwriter of the year).

Andy Irvine, CEO and co-founder of G.Y.R.O., the Brisbane-based independent music distribution and label services specialist, welcomes Jack River to its roster. “Holly has a clear vision for her music and an unwavering determination to make the Australian industry better for artists,” he remarks. “The team at G.Y.R.O. are excited to harness that independent spirit and bring her new music to audiences here and around the world.”

Future assembled the rap Avengers when he recruited Drake and Travis Scott along with Loe Shimmy for “Ya Hit,” which arrived last week as a surprise release. Pluto returned Tuesday (Nov. 10) with the official music video, and there was plenty of money in orbit as the foursome took over Houston’s go-to strip club, Area 29.

The private jet landed in H-Town and the squad headed to the strippy, where they unloaded designer handbags filled with bands of cash, which filled the air. Shimmy switched the scene to race some four-wheeler quads outdoors, while Drake and La Flame opted for quieter spaces to deliver their assists.

Drizzy even lent some party footage from his 40th birthday celebrations in October, but all four artists reunited to pose for photos alongside Sexyy Red in the jiggle joint’s kitchen to close out the Cotto and IWANTJUAN-directed clip.

“Ya Hit” marks the first collaboration between Future, Drake and Travis Scott, even though they’ve separately all worked extensively with one another throughout their decorated careers.

The 6 God and Future squashed their rumored feud to reunite on ICEMAN‘s “Ran to Atlanta,” which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May.

La Flame and Drake haven’t worked together since Utopia‘s “Meltdown” in 2023, but sat courtside together at a Houston Rockets game and then attended Ye’s concert at nearby Reliant Stadium on Halloween.

“Ya Hit” appears that it will serve as a single for Future heading into his next LP, which he’s teased to be titled Infinity. The Atlanta trapper already dropped in 2026, as his The Real Me album in topped the Billboard 200 in July.

One person’s rude gestures in the crowd at sombr‘s recent concert made the musician feel, well, somber.

As captured in clips from the night, the pop star paused his Sunday show in Columbus, Ohio, to express his dismay over a man in attendance who apparently wouldn’t stop giving sombr the middle finger while he was performing. “[He] just keeps flipping me off and flipping me off every night,” the singer/songwriter said.

“Man, I don’t know why you’re coming to my concert if you’re gonna keep flipping me off,” he continued. “It’s all love, but please, please don’t flip me off at my show. It’s this guy with the shades and the leather jacket right here. … It’s really making me sad, man. I don’t appreciate it. This is a safe space. I want everyone here to be kind to each other.”

It’s unclear if sombr and the culprit were able to go back to friends after the exchange, but in general, the hitmaker has had his share of experience dealing with negativity. He previously made headlines when he defended himself against a person who posted a viral TikTok bashing his concert performance and appearance, and in September, sombr passed along the advice Taylor Swift gave him on the subject.

“One of the best pieces of advice the legend has given me … is that if these hate comments go away, maybe you’re not at your peak anymore,” he told Elle. “I think it’s a privilege to be receiving these and rise above it. Ever since she gave me that advice, it’s really changed my perspective and has helped.”

The star is currently on tour in support of his Billboard 200 No. 10 debut album I Barely Know Her, with dates scheduled through summer 2027. The flipper-offer in the crowd in Columbus wasn’t the only unexpected interruption that’s taken place so far on the trek, with sombr taking a pause during his Nov. 3 show in Milwaukee after he chipped his tooth on his water bottle mid-performance.

“Oh, sh–! I chipped my tooth again!” he said at the time. “I’m so happy to inform all of you that ‘Thombr’ has returned.”

Goldie Hawn’s first interaction with Elvis Presley was memorable, to say the least — and not just because she was in the presence of the King of Rock & Roll.

While appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday (Nov. 10), the actress opened up about crossing paths with Presley while rehearsing Laugh-In many decades ago at NBC Studios. “I remember I was wearing a purple wool jumpsuit, and I went over to him and I said hi,” Hawn began.

“He took my hair and went, ‘You look like a chicken that’s just been hatched,’” she said, making Jennifer Hudson’s jaw drop. “I said, ‘Oh, thank you.’”

A few years later, Hawn would headline a residency at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, where Presley was kind enough to invite her to stay in his private suite. “He didn’t let a lot of people back there,” she recalled to Hudson. “But me and my daddy [Edward Rutledge Hawn], we stayed in his big suite. … I was there for three weeks. And I saw [Elvis] during that time and he was a precious, precious person.”

Also on the talk show, the Death Becomes Her star spoke about her new children’s book The After-School Kindness Crew (Pooch on the Loose #1), which was published this past May. Hawn shared her passion for kids’ literature with late friend and Imagination Library founder Dolly Parton, whom the Hollywood legend honored in August after the country superstar passed away at the age of 80.

“She was a ray of light!” Hawn wrote on Instagram at the time. “She was lit up like an angel, a joyful, celestial being. Dolly blessed us all for generations to come. Rest, dear Angel, and, as you said, keep the angels creating music and singing in the heavens.”

JISOO is ready for her close-up, again.

The BLACKPINK star today (Nov. 10) shares part one of “Portraits of a Woman in Motion,” the latest chapter in her micro-film saga with self-portrait, Billboard can exclusively reveal.

Released over four short episodes, the series premieres with “the restaurant,” helmed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch in Seoul, South Korea. The visual collaboration captures the K-pop artist looking ever so classy, always chill and collected, juxtaposed with images of life at warp speed.

It’s the followup to the first in the film series, “Portraits of a Screen Star,” which arrived earlier in the fall.

For this second act, “it is her surroundings that transform, with each episode turning an everyday imaginary space into something surreal and accelerated – lights flicker and time seems to fracture,” reads a statement accompanying the new visual, “while JISOO remains completely recognizable; a constant in a world that never stands still.”

JISOO can be seen in a multi textured knit cardigan, lilac viscose contrast lace blouse and gold sequin midi skirt from the fashion house’s latest collection.

“I feel like life moves so quickly nowadays,” she remarks in the statement. “For me, I’m constantly shifting between different cities, stages, studios and days that never look the same.”

JISOO has high praise for Han Chong, founder and creative director of self-portrait, noting that “I always feel like myself in the clothes no matter what I’m doing, and that is a very unique skill.” With this latest project, she continues, “I think we managed to show this in an entertaining way – the way that our world constantly moves around us, but that there is strength in being completely and effortlessly yourself. It was a lot of fun making it.”

The ability to keep calm in a storm is a particularly handy talent for JISOO. It’s all happening for her right now.

With a hotly-anticipated debut album coming along, and an original number set to appear on The Angry Birds Movie 3 soundtrack, JISOO last week became the latest signing to WME.

“What I have noticed over the years that we have been working together, is that JISOO never changes for the room or situation she’s in,” Chong remarks. “She is incredibly calm and centered – present for every interaction. It’s this powerful characteristic that I wanted to celebrate with our latest project – one which sees fantasy worlds rushing around her while she stays exactly who she is.”

JISOO began her solo journey in 2023, with the release of her debut EP, ME, which became the first album by a female solo artist in South Korea to surpass one million sales. Its single, “꽃(FLOWER),” powered to No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 in April of that year, and No. 1 on the Global Excl. US chart. A debut mini album arrived in 2025, AMORTAGE, and included songs “earthquake” and “Your Love.

The first bites from her forthcoming album project are “Click” and “Addicted,” both of which have been well received by BLINKS.

“Portraits of a Woman in Motion” is an extension to JISOO’s deal struck with the fashion house in March 2024, marking the first time the London brand had tapped a musician to front its works.

The next episode in the video series will drop Nov. 12.

Fall Out Boy have announced the Twilight of the Punks Tour on Monday (Nov. 9), a 36-date global run across stadiums and arenas in Europe, the U.K. and North America in 2027. They’ve also released “ACES,” their first new original single in more than three years, via Atlantic Records.

The Live Nation-promoted tour opens May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena and runs 15 dates through 11 European and U.K. countries, taking in Budapest, Milan, Madrid, Lyon, Brussels, Mönchengladbach, Glasgow, Dublin and Manchester. The leg peaks June 5 at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and wraps June 13 at Atlas Arena in Łódź, Poland. A Day to Remember and Neck Deep support throughout.

North America follows with 21 stadium dates, opening July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and closing Aug. 26 at Providence Park in Portland, Ore. The run includes Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, Boston’s Fenway Park, Citi Field in Queens, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and a hometown show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the band’s first headline stadium date in the city where they formed. The Offspring and The Story So Far play all North American dates, with Good Charlotte on every show except Aug. 6 and 7.

“ACES” was produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Neal Avron, with a video directed by Brendan Walter. The release lands as the band marks 25 years together.

The rollout leaned on an elaborate online build. Fall Out Boy began teasing in late October with a post about a fictional “Twilight Town Mall,” then rebuilt their website as an interactive shopping directory. A “Two Quarters Arcade” followed, built with Brooklyn agency LOOP, letting fans remotely operate a real claw machine to win a band-branded plush. The band says it drew close to a million site visits and 6.1 million minutes of watch time, and crashed their servers.

Tickets go on general sale Thursday (Nov. 12) at 10 a.m. local time in North America and noon local in Europe and the U.K., with most markets excluding Lyon, Brussels, Paris and Łódź, which follow Friday (Nov. 13). An artist presale begins Wednesday (Nov. 11), alongside a Reserved by Spotify presale in select North American markets.

Fall Out Boy have four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, three of them consecutive: Save Rock and Roll, American Beauty/American Psycho and M A N I A, which earned a Grammy nomination for best rock album. Their most recent album, 2023’s So Much (For) Stardust, debuted at No. 1 on Top Rock Albums, and its lead single “Love From the Other Side” became their first No. 1 on Alternative Airplay. In 2021 they co-headlined the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Weezer.

Nick Cannon joined the On Par With Maury Povich podcast on Monday (Nov. 9), where he reflected on his feud with Eminem, which was sparked by Slim Shady dissing Cannon’s ex-wife, Mariah Carey, in 2009.

“He disrespected my woman, man,” Cannon told former Maury host. “You can’t come at my wife and don’t expect to get this work. I think he and Mariah had a professional relationship, which he professed to be a personal relationship.”

Cannon continued: “So that was way before me. So then by the time we got married, he had some harsh words because I guess he was still in his feelings. I couldn’t stand for that at the time. At the dignity of my woman, I had to fight for my relationship, my love.”

Cannon and Carey tied the knot in 2008. Em implied that he previously was romantically involved with the pop star on 2009’s “Bagpipes From Baghdad.” The Wild ‘N Out creator addressed Em in a since-deleted Tumblr post.

Many believe Carey’s response came with her “Obsessed” single later that year, which saw her play a man resembling Slim Shady in the top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit’s visual. Em appeared to reply to Carey and Cannon on “The Warning” in July 2009.

Carey and Cannon’s divorce was finalized in November 2016 and all was quiet on the feud front with Eminem — that is, until the Drumline star’s appearance on T.I.’s Expeditiously podcast, which revived the beef with the Detroit rapper. Eminem seemingly jabbed at Cannon with his verse on Fat Joe’s “Lord Above.”

Cannon proceeded to unleash a trifecta of diss tracks taking aim at Eminem in December 2019: “The Invitation,” “Pray for Him” and “Canceled: Invitation,” the latter of which attempted to paint Em as a racist with old remarks.

Eminem didn’t dip his pen to respond on wax or in the studio, but only with a short reply on X as their feud heated up.

Cannon spoke about beefing with Em during an interview with Billboard in April 2020. “I was defending myself once again. He keeps bringing it up for decades,” he said. “I’m one of those cats that matches energy. I don’t do it — I overdo it. Even in high school, I was a little guy, but if you made fun of me, I was gonna make fun of you, your momma, and that’s the same energy of Wild ‘N Out.

The multi-hyphenate entertainer added: “It was a month of social commentary, but if you’ve ever heard me speak on this matter, I always give that dude his props as an icon in hip-hop. I think he knows better now. If he keeps talking about me, I’m gonna keep talking back.”

Watch the full interview with Nick Cannon below. Talk about his feud with Eminem takes place around the eight-minute mark.

Speaking on the New York Times’ Interview podcast, U2’s Bono discussed some of the advice that they’ve heeded from Sulinna Ong – newly appointed to the band’s management team alongside Irving and Jeffrey Azoff – on how to cut through in this fragmented era of culture and music: show up in unexpected places. That seemingly began in September with a return to their old school, 50 years on from their formation, and popped up again on Grafton Street in Dublin for a surprise free show.

Before U2 tackles the NFL’s Thanksgiving halftime show later this month – following 2025’s appearance by Beyoncé – the band continued its surprising streak with a secret show at London’s Tate Modern Museum on Tuesday (Nov. 3). The location was only revealed to fans hours before the show began, with entry only possible via a ballot win.

Even then came another twist: the band would not be gracing the Turbine Hall, where performers such as PJ Harvey and Kraftwerk have filled the cavernous room with their songs. Instead, the quartet played inside The Tanks, a claustrophobic, brutalist 400-capacity cave underneath the Blavatnik Building usually reserved for experiential exhibitions. There were no giant LED screens or mobile phones, which were locked away in pouches – unlike any U2 concert in recent memory, then. A half-century in, there’s still a trick or two up the band’s sleeve.

The show was recorded for the BBC and will be broadcast on television and its streaming service iPlayer later this month. The flurry of activity comes amidst a major return for the rock titans, as they release 16th studio album Carnaval de Luze (Nov. 13) and gear up for a globetrotting tour that’ll kick off in 2027 and roll into 2028. This show and the upcoming tour features all four members, with Larry Mullen Jr. rejoining Bono, The Edge and Adam Clayton after missing the 2023-24 Sphere residency following neck surgery.

The night saw greatest hits, new songs, frequent tributes to longtime comrade Brian Eno and the odd soliloquy from Bono regarding the special setting and their connection to the arts. These were the five best moments.  

Snoop Dogg is the latest rapper to bring his life story to Hollywood. The hip-hop legend broke the news that production was already in motion in April  on a biopic simply titled Snoop while speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, and the Universal Pictures film is slated to hit theaters across the U.S. on Aug. 6, 2027.

The biopic will be directed by Hustle & Flow‘s Craig Brewer, while 8 Mile producer Brian Grazer is set to produce the film alongside the West Coast rap legend.

“After my brothers told their story in Straight Outta Compton, it’s my turn,” Snoop said at CinemaCon in reference to N.W.A’s 2015 biopic. “[Brewer] just showed us how hard it is out here for a pimp from Hustle & Flow. And then last year, he got us all singing ‘Sweet Caroline,’” he added of Brewer’s 2025 film Song Sung Blue.

Fellow rap deities like 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, N.W.A and 50 Cent have all had movies made at least loosely about their life stories, and now it’s Snoop’s turn to hit the silver screen.

Snoop is still releasing new music more than 30 years into his career and he’s completed unfamothable side missions, like being a correspondent for the Olympics and co-hosting a cooking show with Martha Stewart.

The Snoop movie has already started to make casting announcements, with roles carved out for 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Suge Knight and Warren G, all of whom played a significant role in Snoop’s music career, as well as Snoop himself.

Find the entire cast for Snoop (so far) below. (This list will be updated.)

This week, the family of session musician and Gene Autry and Frank Sinatra collaborator Del Casher announced that he had died on Oct. 1 at the age of 88. But Casher was not just a musician who played on several records with iconic artists: he was also the inventor of the wah-wah pedal, one of the most significant technical innovations in electric guitar history.

The story goes that Casher

, who had created the pedal and its instantly-recognizable tone shifter, showed off the pedal to Frank Zappa during a jam session with the Mothers of Invention in 1966; Zappa subsequently gave one to Jimi Hendrix, who made it the centerpiece of his guitar virtuosity across his short but wildly influential career. And Hendrix was hardly alone. From the late 1960s onward, hundreds, if not thousands, of rock guitarists utilized the pedal, either to craft distinctive riffs or to enhance and distort their solos, creating some of the most iconic recordings in recorded music history along the way.

And lest anyone think the pedal’s use was limited to the classic rock set, it’s been used across a wide variety of different genres, from blues to funk to soul to heavy metal to hip-hop to hair metal to jam bands to grunge, and just about everything in between, with guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Hazel, Trey Anastasio, Jerry Cantrell, Kirk Hammett, Mike McCready and so many more all using it to twist and turn their tone around. (Famed Motown guitarist Melvin Ragin even earned the nickname “Wah Wah Watson” for — well, you can work that out.)

In honor of Casher’s death and the impact his great invention had, here are 15 great songs that utilized the wah-wah pedal over the years.
