March is slowly coming to an end, and many of our favorite artists ended it on a high note. Ariana Grande made it to our list of the best songs of the week after dropping the deluxe version of Eternal Sunshine, along with Lucy Dacus, Hozier, Mumford & Sons, and Ari Lennox.

Ariana Grande’s long-awaited deluxe edition of Eternal Sunshine, titled Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, finally hit the shelves this Friday—and it was worth the wait! It’s given us six amazing new tracks, but none created more buzz than “Twilight Zone”.

Speaking of new albums, Mumford & Sons made an epic comeback with Rushmere, their first record in almost seven years, and made it to our list with “Caroline”. Lucy Dacus rocked our world with her latest solo album Forever Is a Feeling, and the Hozier collaboration “Bullseye” is definitely one of its best songs.

This week has been pretty epic for our favorite R&B artists. Coco Jones impressed us with her new single “You”, Ari Lennox kicked off her “Soft Girl Era”, while Jessie Reyez made it to the list with “I Never Said I Was Sane”, from her latest album Paid in Memories.

Check out the rest of our list to discover new music by Perfume Genius, Wallows, Lord Huron, and Little Simz.

Ariana Grande has been dropping hints about the deluxe edition of her latest album Eternal Sunshine for quite some time, and she finally made things official. Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead will hit the shelves later this month, and it will feature six brand-new songs.

Grande confirmed the release of Eternal Sunshine Deluxe almost a year after the release of the original album, but she’s been plotting this project for quite some time. She previously told Variety that the deluxe version was “in the can”, but she wanted to focus on the Wicked promo before sharing it with the world.

“I’m out there so much right now. I want to let my children miss me for two seconds. I’m excited to surprise them with it at some point, but I’m still mulling over the timing in my head. It’s not the end of ‘Peaches’ just yet, but she’s going in the closet for a minute,” explained Grande.

Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead will be released on March 28, and it will feature six new songs. The original album came out last March, and it produced chart-topping singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, helping Grande make history as the female artist with the most number-one debuts in the US.

We can always count on the Academy Awards to bring some amazing performances our way, and this year’s ceremony certainly delivered. The night full of surprises saw “El Mal” from Emilia Pérez win the Oscar for the best original song, but these three epic performances ended up stealing the show.

“Wicked” Medley

No musical this year created more buzz than Wicked, and it was only fitting for this film to get some time in the spotlight at the Oscars. Its stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande opened the show with an epic medley that included “Over the Rainbow”, “Home”, and “Defying Gravity”, delivering one of the night’s most memorable moments.

Quincy Jones Tribute

The late composer Quincy Jones was one of the recipients of this year’s Academy Honorary Awards, and the Oscars found a special way to celebrate his legacy. Queen Latifah was in charge of delivering the tribute to Jones, which included the song “Ease on Down the Road” from the hit Broadway musical The Wiz.

“James Bond” Tribute

James Bond tribute honoring the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson was also a part of this year’s Oscars. Pop stars Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye performed some of the hit songs from this beloved action franchise, including “Live and Let Die”, “Diamonds are Forever”, and “Skyfall”, while The Substance star Margaret Qualley danced in the background.

The 2025 Academy Awards are just a few days away, and we finally know who’ll hit the iconic stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The list of performers has been unveiled, and it includes Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, plus Lisa, Doja Cat, Raye, and Queen Latifah.

Grande and Erivo recently co-starred in the hit musical Wicked and both received Oscar nominations for their respective performances. They’ll reportedly open the ceremony with a medley of the biggest hits from this film, but this rumor hasn’t been officially confirmed by the Academy.

Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye, who recently collaborated on the song “Born Again” from Lisa’s debut solo album Alter Ego, will also perform at the Oscars. The hip-hop legend Queen Latifah will be a part of the show, which will feature “showstopping performances celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends.” 

“El Mal” and “Mi Camino”  from Emilia Pérez, “The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight, ”Like a Bird” from Sing Sing, and “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late are in the running for the best original song, but they won’t be performed during the show, as a response to the Los Angeles wildfires that devastated California last month.

The 2025 Academy Awards will take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Conan O’Brien hosting the show.

Christmas is just a day away, so it doesn’t come as a huge shocker that holiday songs are dominating the Billboard Hot 100 this week. Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande are among the acts to make it to the top 10, making history as the first artists to do so with holiday songs released this century.

Holiday songs occupy nine out of ten spots in the top ten on the Hot 100 chart this week, with “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars being the only exception. Mariah Carey returned to No. 1 with “All I Want for Christmas Is You” for its 17th week on top, which set a new record for the longest-running chart-topping single of her career.

This week also marked the arrival of two modern holiday hits to the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Ariana Grande hit No. 9 with “Santa Tell Me”, over a decade after it was released as a bonus track on her holiday EP Christmas Kisses. She’s followed by Kelly Clarkson, who made it to No. 10 with “Underneath the Tree”, her first song to soar this high since “Piece by Piece” hit No. 8 in 2016.

These are the only holiday songs released during the 21st century to enter the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The record for the most recently released seasonal song to reach the top ten had previously been held by Kenny G’s take on “Auld Lang Syne,” released in 1999.

If you were hoping to hear Ariana Grande live in the near future, we’ve got some bad news for you. The Grammy-winning singer recently dropped some hints about her plans for the future and said she’s not planning to go on tour “anytime soon” as she shifts her focus to acting.

Grande’s fans were over the moon when a rumor about her potential 2025 tour started making the rounds online. Her label was quick to dismiss it, saying, “There are no plans for a tour next year, but Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all the continued love, support and excitement.”

Grande herself addresses the speculations during an interview at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominees luncheon and explains why touring isn’t her priority at this point in time.

“I feel so grateful to the acting, and I think my fans know that music and being on stage will always be a part of my life, but I don’t see it coming anytime soon. I think the next few years, hopefully, we’ll be exploring different forms of art, and I think acting is feeling like home right now,” she told Variety.

Grande made her acting comeback with the role of Glinda in Wicked, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination, and she’ll return for its sequel Wicked: For Good. Earlier this year, she also released her seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine, which produced chart-topping singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” and earned three Grammy nominations.

Charli XCX is gearing up for the release of the Brat remix album later this week, and we finally know who’ll be featured on this record. After sharing a series of cryptic billboards in the hometowns of her collaborators, she confirmed that Ariana Grande, The 1975, and The Japanese House will be featured on this album.

Brat and It’s Completely Different, but Also Still Brat will be released on October 11, and it will feature remixes of songs from her latest studio album Brat. It hit the shelves back in June and became a true cultural phenomenon, inspiring the viral trend “brat summer”, in addition to producing hit singles “Von Dutch”, “360”, and “Apple”.

Charli XCX dropped several Brat remixes before the remix album was even officially announced, including “Von Dutch” ft. Addison Rae, “360” ft. Robyn and Yung Lean, “Girl, So Confusing” ft. Lorde, “Guess” ft. Billie Eilish, “Talk Talk” ft. Troye Sivan – and there’s more where that came from!

Charli XCX teased new remixes with a series of billboards in the hometowns of her collaborators, with their names spelled backward on the lime green backgrounds. They sparked a lot of commotion online, and the singer eventually confirmed who’ll be featured on the new version of Brat, listing Ariana Grande, The 1975, The Japanese House, Bon Iver, Caroline Polachek, and Tinashe as some of her collaborators.

Ariana Grande’s music videos are always worth waiting for, and she pulled all the stops with her latest. Penn Badgley plays her love interest in “The Boy is Mine” visual, which sees Grande channeling her inner Catwoman and trying to get his attention.

We can count on Grande to give us countless pop culture references and Easter eggs with each new video she shares with the world, and her latest is no exception. Brandy and Monica, whose hit collaboration “The Boy is Mine” served as inspiration for this song, make a cameo at the very start, as the duo of news anchors announcing the press conference of Badgley’s hunky new mayor.

As the video progresses, we watch Grande preparing a love potion to win Badgley’s attention and transforming into a Catwoman after a stray cat ends up breaking it. After playing the stalker in You, Badgley becomes the stalked in this music video, which sees him getting his happily ever after with Grande, with a bunch of kitties keeping them company.

“The Boy is Mine” was released as the third single from Grande’s chart-topping album Eternal Sunshine. Its predecessors “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” both debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100.

She’s followed by Kelly Clarkson, who made it to No. 10 with “Underneath the Tree”, her first song to soar this high since “Piece by Piece” hit No. 8 in 2016.

These are the only holiday songs released during the 21st century to enter the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The record for the most recently released seasonal song to reach the top ten had previously been held by Kenny G’s take on “Auld Lang Syne,” released in 1999.

If you were hoping to hear Ariana Grande live in the near future, we’ve got some bad news for you. The Grammy-winning singer recently dropped some hints about her plans for the future and said she’s not planning to go on tour “anytime soon” as she shifts her focus to acting.

Grande’s fans were over the moon when a rumor about her potential 2025 tour started making the rounds online. Her label was quick to dismiss it, saying, “There are no plans for a tour next year, but Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all the continued love, support and excitement.”

Grande herself addresses the speculations during an interview at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominees luncheon and explains why touring isn’t her priority at this point in time.

“I feel so grateful to the acting, and I think my fans know that music and being on stage will always be a part of my life, but I don’t see it coming anytime soon. I think the next few years, hopefully, we’ll be exploring different forms of art, and I think acting is feeling like home right now,” she told Variety.

Grande made her acting comeback with the role of Glinda in Wicked, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination, and she’ll return for its sequel Wicked: For Good. Earlier this year, she also released her seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine, which produced chart-topping singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” and earned three Grammy nominations.

Charli XCX is gearing up for the release of the Brat remix album later this week, and we finally know who’ll be featured on this record. After sharing a series of cryptic billboards in the hometowns of her collaborators, she confirmed that Ariana Grande, The 1975, and The Japanese House will be featured on this album.

Brat and It’s Completely Different, but Also Still Brat will be released on October 11, and it will feature remixes of songs from her latest studio album Brat. It hit the shelves back in June and became a true cultural phenomenon, inspiring the viral trend “brat summer”, in addition to producing hit singles “Von Dutch”, “360”, and “Apple”.

Charli XCX dropped several Brat remixes before the remix album was even officially announced, including “Von Dutch” ft. Addison Rae, “360” ft. Robyn and Yung Lean, “Girl, So Confusing” ft. Lorde, “Guess” ft. Billie Eilish, “Talk Talk” ft. Troye Sivan – and there’s more where that came from!

Charli XCX teased new remixes with a series of billboards in the hometowns of her collaborators, with their names spelled backward on the lime green backgrounds. They sparked a lot of commotion online, and the singer eventually confirmed who’ll be featured on the new version of Brat, listing Ariana Grande, The 1975, The Japanese House, Bon Iver, Caroline Polachek, and Tinashe as some of her collaborators.

Ariana Grande’s music videos are always worth waiting for, and she pulled all the stops with her latest. Penn Badgley plays her love interest in “The Boy is Mine” visual, which sees Grande channeling her inner Catwoman and trying to get his attention.

We can count on Grande to give us countless pop culture references and Easter eggs with each new video she shares with the world, and her latest is no exception. Brandy and Monica, whose hit collaboration “The Boy is Mine” served as inspiration for this song, make a cameo at the very start, as the duo of news anchors announcing the press conference of Badgley’s hunky new mayor.

As the video progresses, we watch Grande preparing a love potion to win Badgley’s attention and transforming into a Catwoman after a stray cat ends up breaking it. After playing the stalker in You, Badgley becomes the stalked in this music video, which sees him getting his happily ever after with Grande, with a bunch of kitties keeping them company.

“The Boy is Mine” was released as the third single from Grande’s chart-topping album Eternal Sunshine. Its predecessors “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” both debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100.
