It's year-end season at Billboard! @jasonlipshutz.bsky.social comes off the PUP list to talk about our songs and albums lists and their Greatest Pop Stars implications (and yell at us for leaving Jade off in his absence) www.billboard.com/music/pop/bi...

Honestly, the Eagles oscillating between “Super Bowl” and “unfathomable collapse” every season is useful for planning purposes. I will be locked IN on the 2026-27 squad!

Trendon Watford gets hurt and everything falls apart 😞

2-0 🤔👀

Getting Hobert-pilled youtu.be/qbA_YEOqWNY?...

Sixers undefeated when Paul George plays this season 🤔👀

SIXERS WIN youtu.be/MngppG2JXpA?...

This epitomized

We are still recruiting FYI

The refs in this Sixers-Raptors game caught bemoaning the Blue Jays base running while sipping their Tim Horton’s

New Hilary Duff single is preposterously good — as in, you listen to it in disbelief of how insanely great it is. WOW youtu.be/AOEklH8Eyw4?...

In retrospect, the “He calls his parent’s cousin his AUNT!” news cycle was like when Wile E. Coyote keeps running off the cliff, long after Road Runner has stopped short to watch him fall to his doom

LETS GO

This was initially a bit but I legitimately think Watford is awesome lol

Tonight’s sleep for Trendon Watford Hive (aka The Watchmen)

Watchmen, it’s our fandom’s time to shine. Trendon Makes, The World Takes

A summary of the start of the Sixers season

GRIMES WITH THE VISIONS (2012) !!!

SIXERS WIN youtu.be/MngppG2JXpA?...

D’Angelo’s surprise Superjam performance at Bonnaroo in 2012 is the single most special musical performance I’ve ever seen in person. It probably always will be. www.billboard.com/music/music-...

It Starts With ONE YEAR. My first book came out on Oct. 1, 2024, and the past year has been full of wonderful and gratifying events, interactions and feedback (oh yeah, and a new Linkin Park album and tour too). I’ve loved every minute. Thank you to everyone who’s supported, it’s meant the world.

It’s been less than five years since Bad Bunny scored the first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard 200 that was primarily in Spanish. Now - Super Bowl halftime show, likely in all Spanish. What he’s accomplished professionally in the 2020s cannot be overstated

Seven years after ‘Maroon 5 in Atlanta,’ I continue to be impressed with the Super Bowl halftime bookings this decade!

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

It is absolutely wild to host a major, three-hour awards show with one (1) bit

That Emmys tribute to The Golden Girls… youtu.be/1UpoZpMBM9Y?...

Sabrina is fully locked into a groove right now. I hope we get a new album every late August www.billboard.com/lists/sabrin...

“We’re getting all this love. But to be honest, [performing] is not easy. It’s not like I’m 25 years old. Method Man is in great shape, but he’s like, ‘Yo, I’m TIRED!’” What a treat to speak to RZA about Wu-Tang’s triumphant farewell tour and where it will go next: www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip...

Don’t think I’ve ever been to a show and lost my voice after one song. System of a Down just opened with “B.Y.O.B.” at MetLife

Congrats @chrisdeville.bsky.social on releasing ‘Such Great Heights: The Complete Cultural History Of The Indie Rock Explosion’ today! Here’s @jasonlipshutz.bsky.social asking Chris for hot takes at last night’s book launch in Brooklyn. 😃 www.stereogum.com/2320544/ster...

New York! I am here! Join @jasonlipshutz.bsky.social and me at Powerhouse Arena in DUMBO (@phbookstores.bsky.social) at 7 p.m. to celebrate the release of my book SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS: The Complete Cultural History of the Indie Rock Explosion. Secure entry and maybe even buy the book while you do so:

I keep thinking about how prolific she’s become — first six albums released over more than a decade, next six albums over roughly six years (plus four re-records too). She could’ve taken so many breaks but instead slammed down the gas. She knows she’s on an all-time pop heater

My Chemical Jovi

When the pyrotechnics finally kicked in 45 mins into the 70k-crowd stadium show, Gerard Way was walking around the stage brandishing a ventriloquist’s dummy. Nobody doing it like MCR right now

New ‘We Are Young Money’ just dropped (complimentary)

First guest at Wu-Tang Clan’s final show, in Philly: Ms. Lauryn Hill, pulling double duty after Newark last night

I was dragging pretty hard at the end of a 2-hour drive, put on Battles’ “Atlas,” felt like I could drive 4 more hours afterwards. Still an all-time adrenaline shot

Very pumped to be speaking to Chris about his excellent book next month!

Sufjan Stevens, Illinois Phoebe Bridgers, Punisher Radiohead, Kid A Joanna Newsom, Ys Lorde, Pure Heroine ANOHNI & The Johnsons, I Am A Bird Now Madvillain, Madvillainy Taylor Swift, Speak Now Cindy Lee, Diamond Jubilee Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory (duh)

How did ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ become a multi-smash pop culture phenomenon — and what’s next? New feature on the most interesting thing happening in popular music right now: www.billboard.com/culture/tv-f...

Had a long chat with Kesha, who swam with sharks to make her liberated new album: www.billboard.com/music/pop/ke...

I’ve got season tickets for all things Lorde. My review of ‘Virgin,’ the bravest album of her career: www.billboard.com/lists/lorde-...

Voters are not idiots! They don’t want to be treated like idiots! The DNC needs to get this through their heads and actually listen to people!

If I were an Oklahoma City Thunder fan right now I wouldn’t be allowed to watch the rest of this game around other humans. Just uncontrollable sweat

Exactly 10 years after her debut album, Ryn Weaver is back with a new single and fresh perspective, after a decade she describes as “transformative.” I loved speaking to her, for her first interview in many years: www.billboard.com/music/pop/ry...

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

AND the Addison Rae album goes crazy! Lana Del ‘Ray of Light.’ What a great morning

After first listen, ‘Never Enough’ sounds like Turnstile made their ‘Insomniac’ and ‘Nimrod’ at the same time. I love it

Incredible that Sabrina Carpenter released a (great) single titled “Manchild” TODAY of all days

Hey! Need a Father’s Day gift idea? ‘It Starts With One: The Legend and Legacy of Linkin Park’ has a sky-high dad approval rating! Pick up a copy in time for the holiday: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jason...
