Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Perform 1996 Hit ‘Tha Crossroads' on ‘Everybody's Live'
The group's appearance came months after Mulaney revealed on-air that he had previously tried and failed to book them for the show. In April, the comedian shared that he had been tricked by someone pretending to be the group's manager while trying to arrange a bit involving actor Richard Kind and a pet tortoise. At the time, Mulaney jokingly pleaded with the real members of Bone Thugs to contact him and 'clear this up.'

It appears they did. During the latest episode, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony arrived following a skit in which a trio of 14-year-olds outmatched Mulaney. The group performed their chart-topping single 'Tha Crossroads' and awarded a wrestling belt trophy to the teens after the segment.
Upon its release, 'Tha Crossroads' spent eight consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996. The track, a tribute to the group's late mentor Eazy-E, remains their most commercially successful single to date. It also earned the group a Grammy Award for best rap performance by a duo or group and solidified their legacy as pioneers of melodic rap in the 1990s.
The performance featured four members of the group, with Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Wish Bone all taking the stage. Flesh-N-Bone was not present for the taping.
Their appearance follows the release of 'Aww Shit' in April, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's first new single in nearly 15 years. The track features all five founding members and serves as the lead single from a forthcoming full-length album, according to Greenback Records. The group has also confirmed a run of live dates for summer 2025, including a slot at the Roots Picnic's Class of '95 at the Hollywood Bowl and appearances as part of the Kings of the West festival series.
The Cleveland group has charted 10 songs on the Hot 100, including '1st of tha Month' (No. 14), 'Look into My Eyes' (No. 4), and 'If I Could Teach the World' (No. 20). Their 1995 album E. 1999 Eternal spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified quadruple platinum.

A Fake Musical Act Joins BTS With A Major Chart Win
In the span of only a few weeks, Netflix's animated film KPop Demon Hunters has become not only one of the platform's most successful titles, but a shockingly successful new franchise in the music world. The film's corresponding soundtrack grows in terms of total consumption every week, and the original songs penned for the K-pop musical have reached beyond those who identify as fans of the South Korean musical genre and have now hit the ears of the American public at large. This week, KPop Demon Hunters manages a historic feat on one of Billboard's most important tallies — one which helps even a fictitious group stand apart as incredibly successful. 'Golden' Hits No. 1 on the Hot 100 The No. 1 song in America at the moment is 'Golden,' featured in KPop Demon Hunters. The track is credited to the made-up girl group Huntr/x, which was created for the movie. Also named on the tune are the three actual human vocalists who voiced the smash, Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami. Less than two months into its time on the Hot 100, 'Golden' lifts from No. 2 to No. 1, and in doing so makes history. 'Golden' is one of fewer than 10 K-pop tracks to rule the Hot 100. Before this frame, no girl group from that genre had ever led the charge, nor any female soloist in the K-pop space. BTS, Jimin and Jung Kook While a handful of different credited acts from the K-pop sphere have reached No. 1, they're all connected. BTS was the first K-pop name to reach the highest rung on the Hot 100. The septet — easily the biggest in the history of the style — has racked up half a dozen champions, including 'Dynamite,' 'Butter,' 'Permission to Dance,' 'Life Goes On,' as well as 'Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),' a collaboration with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, and 'My Universe,' a duet with Coldplay. Two members of BTS have also hit No. 1 on their own. First came Jimin, with 'Like Crazy,' and then months later, Jung Kook repeated the showing alongside rapper Latto with 'Seven.' Both ruled in 2023 with solo smashes. 'Golden' Remains a Sales and Streaming Win The Hot 100 is compiled using a methodology that blends sales, streams, and radio airplay to show which songs are being consumed at the greatest levels throughout the United States. 'Golden' is steady at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs tally, and this frame it jumps from No. 5 to No. 3 on the Digital Song Sales list, hitting a new high point. Luminate reports that in the past tracking week in America, 'Golden' sold a little more than 6,200 copies, up 35% from the period prior. 'Golden' Grows at American Radio The KPop Demon Hunters track also once again leads both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., as it has now ranked as the biggest song in the world on and off for several frames. In America, the tune is quickly growing at radio, although it has yet to land on Billboard's Radio Songs tally. This frame, in its third turn on the Pop Airplay chart, 'Golden' rockets from No. 28 to No. 20. At the same time, it opens at No. 37 on the Adult Pop Airplay list.

YouTuber Mark Rober is getting a Netflix series
Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer now known for his science-focused stunts he publishes to more than 70 million subscribers on YouTube, will launch a competition show on Netflix in 2026. Rober will also bring 'some of his most beloved, ambitious, and informative experiments to Netflix later this year,' Netflix says. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that Netflix had talked to Rober. According to that article, Netflix has also had discussions with the creators at Dude Perfect, a channel with more than 60 million YouTube subscribers, about a new series. And earlier this year, Netflix brought videos from Ms. Rachel, known for her videos for toddlers and early education, to its platform. The push from Netflix into bringing on YouTube creators follows the success of MrBeast's Beast Games game show on Prime Video. That show debuted last year and quickly became Prime Video's 'most-watched unscripted show ever.' It has been renewed for two more seasons.
