Seven weeks in, this is the pop album to beat in 2025. Decadent

Philadelphia Enjoys Quiet Week Of Super Bowl Victory Reflection

It’s been a little over 24 hours and I am still thinking about this guy at the Superdome yesterday

Official Big Four Grammy predictions Album of the Year: Beyoncé, ‘Cowboy Carter’ Record of the Year: Sabrina Carpenter, “Espresso” Song of the Year: Taylor Swift & Post Malone, “Fortnight” Best New Artist: Sabrina Carpenter

I wrote about the six artists who could dominate the 2025 Grammys narrative - from Billie to Taylor to Chappell to Bey - and what it would mean, big-picture, if each of them did www.billboard.com/music/awards...

Kendrick Lamar is center field during his halftime show, and the beat abruptly drops out. He looks skyward. A stuttering piano line arrives as a woman descends from the Superdome rafters. The crowd screams as they see who it is. “PLEASE WELCOME,” Kendrick roars, “BETH GIBBONS OF PORTISHEEEEEEAD!!”

My take is that, is Saquon scores a touchdown every time he runs the ball, the Eagles are in a great position

After two straight wins and multiple minutes of consideration, I have decided that I am riding with AU until the wheels fall off. Let’s get that 10 seed.

What’s that seed, that playoff seed we need? Sixers:

For our Ones To Watch 2025 print roundup, I spoke to Jane Remover, the most exciting rising artist in music right now, about scrapping a completed pop album and relishing unpredictability. Quick interview: www.billboard.com/lists/lola-y...

One of my all-time favorite pop moments is the interlude on “Lady Marmalade” right before Christina Aguilera’s verse - where everyone goes “Marmalaaaaade” and Christina revs up, “Ooh, oooOH!” It’s the pop equivalent of a star closer sprinting to the mound at the top of the ninth. Chills every time

We're launching a new franchise called Rock/Alternative Rookie of the Month, and kicking it off with Jasmine.4.t, whose excellent debut album 'You Are The Morning' was produced by all of Boygenius (!) and whose story is truly inspiring: www.billboard.com/music/rock/j...

A drone project with four 12-minute stretches? That ain't Ethel Cain's 'Perverts,' baby, that's a Sixers game in 2025!

Very excited to be doing this with Jason in promotion of his excellent new book! Come see me asking him all the tough Linkin Park questions, like "Why don't more people recognize 'A Thousand Suns' as the nu-metal 'Kid A'?" and "Did Britney Spears kinda rip off 'Faint' for 'Toxic'?"
